intelligence that the Isle of Bourbon had been attack-
ed by a force under Admiral ROWLEY, the fort of
that name, and moat of the other strong places taken.
One large French frigate, the Caroline, of 44 guns,

our Indiamen, the Europe and Streatham, lately cap•
tured by the enemy.
We are happy in being enabled to add, that this -
important service has been effected without the loss

hear of the fall of the Mauritius.
The frigate has arrived at the Cape of Good Hope y_

has arrived at the Cape.

SEVILLE, DEC. 4.
The Duke del Parque, Commander in Chief of the
army of the left, reported to his Majesty from the
head-quarters in Ajas, udder date of the 24th No-
vember, that on the preceding day, the enemy, 8000
foot and 2000 horse strong, attacked his positions of 1
Carpio and the neighbouring heights, and that he not
only repulsed but pursued him half a league beyond
the Medina del Campo, where the French rallied,
night coming on) after they had sustained very con-
si ble loss.
ANOTHER LETTEk—SAME DATE.
In consequence of the intelligence received by the
,Duke del Fugue, Cornfnander in Chief of the army
of the left, of what happened to the army of La Man-
cha at Ocana, ha made the necessary disposition for
his retreat from Carpio, which he began on the night
of the 26th of last month, and continued the whole of
the 27th with the utmost order, as iar as Vitoria and
Cordovilla, where he hilted, in order to allow his
troops some repose. On the same day, the 27th, -at
ten o'clock at night, he pursued his retreat with the
same order as on the preceding day ; and arrived on
the 28th, at seven o'clock in the morning, at Alba de
Tormes, without his march having in the least been
obstructed by the enemy, although the French closely
pursued him. He drew up his troops on the heights,
which command that town on the right of the
Tormes, and ordered part of them to take post on
the other eminences, which also command the above
town on the left bank of that river, in order to cover
his rear-guard, the bridges, and shallows, where the
depth of water was very trifling. In this situation the
enemy attacked him in his first position ; but was gal-
lantly repulsed by our infantry and artillery. A body
of French thereupon appeared on his right flank ; and
our cavalry, which according to the General's orders
was to charge the enemy's horse, meanly retreated
before it came within pistol shot; and although part
of them were made to rally and return to their
gain, abandoned the Since Saturday there has been an additional influx
