ALICANT, AUG. 2%.--By an official &patch we
know of the movements undertaken by the enemy in
the direction of Vechl and of the advantages oh-
: tained by our first army. Kept in check in El-Es-
qeirol by three Spanish hattaliar•s, General Ma-
thieu and Nicolas retroceded from Granollers to
Barcelona', with 1500 men, and continued their march
to donna, with 6 or 700 Si., with General De..

caen.
•
On the night of the same days three other Spanish
corps joined those already mentioned, which oblig..d
the enemy to march by the La Salud road, the height
of which they reached and fortified. Here a brave
contest took place ; both parties were reinforced;
the enemy, during the day sustained a loss of 1200
men, in consequence of which they retired towards
Amliurdao. Our loss consisted in 300 men killed or
wounded.

Comment.

England's , were involved
by the assertion of a Morning Paper, which does
lot deal out modem accusations, that a gross
and condemnable frand at the Post Office, though not
by the Clerk, is played off upon the credulity of the
community and to the detriment of a few individuals,
who are leaded with a very heavy expence for pro-
coring early, intelligence- from abroad. As well as
the direct imputation of the fact itself, the circum-
stances attending it would be evidence sufficient to
convince the least credulous of the trick being prac.
tised as represented, and it being done for the worst
of purposes, viz. stockliobbing, it becomes a dead-
ly scandal on the Goverment of the country. All
this does but confirm,what we have] long complained
of, viz. that Mieistere have fast hold on the country,
or in other words of.the fortune of this countryibled '
use it as skilful artistrand artisans use their instru-
ments and engines for their own benefit. We will
say no more upon this crying abuse of power at
present, but to admonish those who would take a
pert in the Government of the country, to which
the men now in power have no more lawful right
than the humblest individual born in it, that if some-
, thing like a reformation does not immediately take
plate in the respect we have pointed out, and its
what chiefly implies partialities towards one class of
Journals, and persecutions toward/ another, the
; fate of our common country, thM•eoluns satiate
'of the once proud Briton, will be rent asun-
der, and sold piecemeal. With respect to the
campaign which has opened so inauspiciously to
our Allies, we can offer to our Readers little more
than conjectu.re. Many of our cotemporaries expa.
