EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CADIZ OF APRIL 7.

It gives me much satisfaction to inform you, that
we every day feel more confident of success, and of
completely repelling the enemy. On the 31st March
a ship arrived here from Valencia and Villazagora,
the master of which, G. Gonzales, states, that the
French occupied Murviedo, the suburb of Valencia,
With a considerable force, amounting to 17,000 men ;
but that on the 14th of last month they left it in a
very precipitate manner, marching in the direction of
Arragon, and were pursued by a considerable number
of our troops and armed peasantry, and retook in
Murviedo, all the booty made by the French, and
inflicted on them very severe losses; he adds, that
General Caro took with him 3.5£1 prisoners, all either
members of the Junta, or inhabitants of Valencia.—
The master of a ship arrived from Alicant and tar-
thagena, confirms the above statement with regard
to Valencia, and adds, that the head-quarters of Ge-
neral Blake's army were in Outructa, and one divi-
sion of his army in Loria, to succour Valentia in case
of need.

EXTRAORDINARY CADIZ GAZETTE, APRIL I.

" Cuenia, March 15.

" It appears by a report from Brigadier-General
Don Pedroll acom po to Major-General Bassecourt,
that our troops on the 9th and 10th instant, obtained
several advantages over the enemy. On the Bth, a
party of French troops were attacked in Conde, and
after two hours hard fighting compelled to surrender.
The enemy's loss consisted in two officers and 164
rank and file taken prisoners, and 42 killed and
wounded ; our loss amounted to thirty wounded
and eight slain. The Brigadier-General having lel t
in Teruel a detachment of his corps, to observe
a French party which had taken refuge in the Col-
lege or Seminary, and which from want of heavy
ordnance he was not able to dislodge, he marched
with the remainder of his corps to Mazanera in order
to attack a French detachment which occupied Al-
ventosa. The attack was made on the 10th, at eight
o'clock in the morning, with so much gallantry and
spirit, that after a short conflict the enemy was com-
pletely routed, with considerable loss. Five Officers,
and 163 rank and file were made prisoners, three
pieces of cannon were also taken in the action of the
10th, and two in that of the Bth."

VALENCIA, APRIL 2.

On the sth of last month the enemy appeared be-
fore the walls of this capital, and on the 6th they
occupied the suburbs of Murviedo, the college of
Pius V. the Royal Palace, and Faidia, all situated
without the walls of this city, and on the other sire
of the river ; and in the night, between the 10th and
llth ult. they moved off in a very precipitate man-
ner. During the time they came before our walls,
they committed many robberies and murders in the
neighbour ing places, but undertook nothing of mo-
ment against this city.
The inhabitants of the environs, joined by thou-
sands, in flying parties, the large number of which
probably induced the enemy to retreat.

In Castellan de la Plana and Villa Real were 300
of the enemy's foot and 200 horse, but only 80 of
the former and 120 of the latter came away. The
enemy's loss in other places was equally considerable :
he is most vigorously pursued. We this day expect
300 prisoners ; and '2OO more, with an howitzer,
taken at Villa-Campo.

MURCIA, MARCH 8:

The last accounts from St. Clemente, state, that
Don Juan Martin, and Don Ventura Ximenes (two
celebrated Spanish partizans), lately intercepted a
French convoy going to Madrid, on which occasion
they killed the escort, and took a million and a half
of rials. It is added, that the former also defeated
a detachment of the enemy's troops which marched
from Madrid to pursue him, and killed about 200 of
them.

o'clock, the remains of Ebtal, the unfortunate -

Mourner. The parents of the deceased next,
other relations. The procession was met by the

COVENT GARDEN.—Last night The Wluel s f
tune was performed. The part of Penruddock afford:
great scope for the display of Mr. KEMBLEIS
sive energies, and those were indeed most happil
brought forth, especially in the scene with yr
Woodville, and in that with Mrs. Woodville.
A GHOST.—Last week, while two men were
ployed in the interior•of a family vault, about
miles from Leeds, a meagre figure, black from
to foot, glided into the sepulchral mansion ; the man
whose eye first caught the spectre became instantly
petrise4l with horror—his speech forsook him, and
was only by a vigorous effort that be could
elbow of his fellow, and point to the object f
Like the shock from the electric spark, the I
communicated by the touch ; but the symptom;
net so strong ir. the second as in the first subject.—
taking courage, he addressed the ghost in a faultering
accent, and said—" In the name of Goo, what is your
errand to this world ?"—" I have no errand, I was
going past, and I thought I would just look in."—
These grateful sounds instantly dispelled the illusion,
and the workmen recognized in them the well-known
voice of a neighbouring chimney-sweeper.
On Tuesday morning, at two o'clock, as Mr.
Cheevly, an Attorney, was returning to his house in
Broad-street, Carnaby-market—in passing through
St. Martin's-Court, he was much alarmed at a woman
running out of the house of Mr. Kennelly, man's mer-
cer, in the broad part of the court, with nothing on but
her chemise; she addressed him, bysaying, "For God's
sake, Sir, pray assist me; there is a fire in the house,
and I am afraid something has happened to Mrs.
Kenelly." Mr. Cheevly, at the woman's request,
stntered the house, which he found filled with smoke;
he went up into the first floor, by which time
he was almost suffocated ; on entering the mom,
he perceived Mrs. Kenelly extended on the carpet,
very much burnt ; her hands were nearly consumed,
and she was calling out, " Water! Water !" she ap•
peared to he partly undressed, as her stars were in an
adjoining room. No person whatsoever was present
at this dreadful scene except Mr. Cheevly and the
servant, vi ho called him in.—From the noise, a young
man, clerk to Mr. Kenelly, being awaked, came
down stairs, with only his shirt on, in dreadful terror,
and assisted Mr. Cheevly in extinguishing the flames,
which had communicated to the adjoining room, Mrs
Kenelly still groaning in a dreadful manner. The
flames being, by their exertions, got under, by whieb
they both got severely burnt in the hands, their at
tention was next directed to Mrs. Kennelly. Thr
Clerk dressed himself, and went out for medical as-
sistance. Mrs. Kenelly died, however, shortly after'
wards, and the clerk, from the great fright, expired
in the course of the day. Mr. Kenelly was, at tile
time, at his country-house.
