GIERiILTAR, OCTOBER 19.

Private accounts have reached the garrison, which
corroborate the rumours in circulation at Cadiz, of
Suchet's having been repulsed in three successive at-
tacks which he made ti?on the Valencian army, at
Morviedro. It is even added, that 500 of the priso-
ners taken upon that occasion have been conducted
to Palma, in the island of Majorca.
The body of french troops, upon whose approach
General adiastcros thought it expedient on Saturday
last to retire to the heights of St. Roque, having pur-
sued its march, and advanced upon his new position,
the General withdrew from it on Monday morning
to the spot where formerly stood the Spanish lines
hefGre the garrison ; and about mid-day, the French
occupied the same heights to the number of about
10,000 foot, and four or 500 horse, under the com-
mand, as it is stated by a Polish deserter, of General
Godinot. Shortly after, they sent a strong detach-
ment to the Queen of Spain's Chair, where it is yet
to be seen.
On Wednesday, one of their columns, of about
2000 men,, proceeded to the southward, and was de.
scried in the afternoon on the heights beyond Algesi-
ras, as if it intended to march to Tarifa. On the next
morning, however, it retraced its steps, driving before
it a considerable quantity of cattle. As this column
was coming back, another twice as strong marched
nut in a northerly direetion, and was seen before sun-
set two leagues beyond Los Barrios, on the road to
Ximena. Four of our gun-boats, which were stationed
off the Orange-grove in the beginning of the week,
have since moved more to the eastward, so as to flank
the left of Gen. Dallotercs's troops, and fire at the
enemy'slight parties whenever they come within reiich i
and Occasional skirmishes also take place between the
latter and the Spanish Guerillas, in the intermediate
space between the heights and the lines. In the night
time fires are seen from the garrison, on different
parts of the mountains round the bay, chiefly be-
tween Algesiras and St, Roque. The inhabitants of
those two towns have taken shelter, the former on the
Green Island, and the latter under the Rock.
In the night of Wednesday. a detachment of the
Spanish division embarked in a frigate and a trans-
port, nad sailed to the eastward. On the following

The effects of the treacherous aggression of Bo-
naparte on Spain have not been confined to the
waste and destruction of thousands of the best troops
of France, but have extended to the ruin of numbers
of Frenchmen who were settled in a civil capacity
in various parts of the Spanish dominions.
At the commencement of the` Revolution, the
French who were settled in Sp.tin became the natu-
ral, though probably in many cases unmerited ob-
jects of popular fury ; and the same burst of national
indignation overwhelmed in ruin many French plan-
ters who had been naturalized in the Spanish Colo-
nies. The Diario de las Cortes gives some account
of a discussion which lately took place in that body,
with regard to the sequestrated estates of the French
coffee planters in the island of Cuba.
Senor MEXIA proposed the following Resolution :
it being known, that In the Wand of Cuba there Li a very
considerable number of coffee plantations, and other real pro.
perty, which belonged to the Frenchmen who were expelled
from thence in consequence of the precept wa^, and which now
belong to the branch of reprints ; and it not being suitable either
to the urgency of our wants, or the necessities of the Treasury,
that the administration of then should continue in the charge of
the Government of that island; let orders be sent out that the said
estates be immediately sold for ready money, or for good
and the produce remitted home without delay."
At the next Sitting, Senor JAUREGUI, a native of
Cuba, delivered the following speech on this propo-
sition :
'‘ It is well known, that by our laws no foreigner
was allowed to settle in the Indies ; and even the per-
mission of foreign ships to visit our settlements has
only been a measure of late adoption, and occasion-
ed by the necessities of war and other circumstances.
Holwever, by the instances of Don Luis de las Cases,
late Captain General of Cuba, permission was given
to foreigners, in 1794., to settle in that island, provi-
ded they were of the Catholic religion, and applied
to agriculture and other trades, without engaging in
commerce. The Conde de Santa Clara and the
MRrquis de Someruelos, the successors of that Go-
vernor, followed up the same system ; and the bene-
ficial effects of admitting a number of foreigners was
visible in the rapid progress of agriculture and the
arts of life,

After some farther discussion, it was agreed that
the proposition should be limited to the property of
such Frenchmen as possessed no letters of naturaliz-
ation, or who, possessing them, had committed any
act of treason against the Spanish nation. The pro-
position, thus altered, was then ordered to be referred
to the Council of Regency.

As Mr. Kasieta has most judiciously applied the
pruning knife to several indelicate passages in the

not all, of the buffoonery displayed by Lade in the
last act, might be expunged also. The scene in which
the Duke is administering justice with so much it .ie
dignity, ought not to be so frequently interrupted by
the impertinent garrulity of a coxcomb. Those Op'
admire the pathos with which Mr. KEIIILE delive,

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER OF 111011 RANK

IN LORD WELLINGTON'S ARMY (JUST ARRIVED AT
LISBON), DATED OCIOEER 14 :
N,thing has occurred worth my writing about
till within these few days, when st slight affair (of
which you will, no doubt, hear before you receive "
this) took place with the enemy's cavalry, which ap-
pears on the part of the French to have been only a
reconnoisance. The I 1 th and 14. th Dragoons, as
well as the Ist Hussars, behaved nobly ; there having
been not above 350, opposed to 15 squadrons of
French, whom they charged eight different times;
our infantry also charged the enemy's cavalry in a 1
most glorious style. The French are falling back,
but not without having effected their purpose, which
was to throw succours into Ciudad Rodrigo. Mar-
mont certainly intended attacking us on the 27th of
September, but Lord Wellington, by taking up an-
other position, frustrated his plan. Lord Wellington
had a narrow escape on the 25th—while busily em-
ployed in reconnoitring the enemy's movements, some
French dragoons got completely in his rear, and
would have taken his Lordship had not Major Gordon
galic+ed up and informed him of the circumstance,
an,' he was indebted to the speed of his horse for his
escape. Lord Charles Manners was also closely pur-
sued, and was obliged to have recourse to leaping a
large rivulet.

" There is a rumour, and a very probable one,
that Soult is coming down on the Alentejo side. It
is pretty clear that the French do not want to drive
us out, under an idea that their purpose is better an-
swered by our expenditure of men and money in the
contest.

gi The sick at Lisbon are about 12,300,
,or rather
more, if any thing. Sixteen Officers have died at
Lisbon within these few weeks.
" Mr. John Silva, son of Madame Silva, at Jon-
eluiera, has been taken up by the police guard, and
lodged in Belem Castle. His mother was seen enter.
ing the castle on the following day, but whether she
came there for the purpose of seeing her son, or was
Implicated in the cause for which he was confined,
we have not yet heard."

take his usual exercise in the Riding-school : the Duke
of CUMRERLAND, attended by Lord YARMOUTH and
Colonel BLOOMiIRIA walked a short distance on the

at Williams's.
This day has not proved better than the preceding,:
during the greater part, the wind blew a complete
hurricane from the south-writ, with heavy rain.
The Nunez Recur has not been odt of the Pari-

YAamotrra were among those at the siiarring.match
this morning ; but, owing to the unfavourable state
of the weapher, not more than an hundred persions
were present.
