and that the armed• force under S. Avellan° had
dispersed like smoke. If this be true, it furnishes
a fresh proof of the inefficiency of tumultuary
inaments.

The master of a vessel arrived from Huelva,
says, that on the 10th, a body of 600 Spanish
troops m ached frgim thence to Gibralcon ; and
that he heard there were 3000 in Ayamente, who
were toembask in 30 fishing-boats.
Yesterday disembarked the 87th English regi.
ment, consisting of 700 men.
In the evening of the same day, entered. tho. Eng.
lish frigate the Undaunted, with 3,000,000 of
dollars on board, from Porto Rico.
In the course of yesterday there was a good deal
of firing towards the bridge of Zuazo and tlee ar.
tenet of the Carraca. It was extremely brisk at
one o'clock.

Cann, FEL' 18.—A boat with a French flag of
truce. from St. Mary's, having, at three quarters
of an hour after seven this morning, (Amu sloop
side the Principe de Asturias., two boats belong-
ing to the squadron set off to meet her, and
escorted her to the Admiral's ship, the Santa
dna.

At half-past nine the St. Judo man of war
opened a fire upon the Cano del Troudero, in
which the gun-boats in that quarter soon after
joined. The 6ring did not cease until 4 o'clock.
At ten•o'clock four English launches and one
boat opened a fire upon the castle of St. Cathe-
rine, and several pignuts of cavalry that were
going down to the beach. They returned to their
respective ships at one o'clock.
This afternoon we observed some people at
work with shovels in the castle of St. Catherine's,
apparently clearing away the rubbish ; and about
150 infantry came from Puerto Real to Si.
Mary's.
CADIZ, Fes. 12.—The Superior Junta have
this day notified to the inhabitants that, according
to a w.hentic information, the enemy Immo in Xeres
1600 men ; in Cahczas, Alcala, Utnera, and Le-
brija, 1200 ; in Puerto Real, Chiclaua, and Rota,
10,500; and iu 3000. •

The ite.:,ency yesterday issued a Proclamation,
postponing the meeting of the Cortes, until the
existing Crisis shall have passed, and a more
convenient time and place can be fixed upon,
fur their assembliug. The people are, however,
directed to proceed in the election of Deputies,
it being the intention of the Government to
convoke the Cortes, as soon as ever the course
of military events shall present an opportunity.
This document cow:links iu the following terms :
" Thus the two principles which gave the moving
impulse to our Revolution, shall undergo no al.
teration. It was an instinctive fecliag of external
independence, and future happiness, which ani.
mated the Spanish nation in the glorious days of
Aranjuez. It was this instinctive feeling which
made them detest their old despotism ; it is this
which makes them abominate the Foreign Ty.
rant, who is pouring upon them all the vials of
calamity ; which invigorates them tq sustain,
with unexampled mattnanituity, the ebb and flow
of events in this cruel war. Spaniards, this in-
stinctive feeling shall net be disappointed of its
eipectations. Your Portes shall be held, in spite
of the obstacles that men and fortune have hither-
to thrown in their way. They shall decide your
future destiny ; and the Council of Regency,
whose attention is exclusively directed to your de:
fence and happiness, will think that they have
achieved the greatest of all victories, when Om
shall see yen pass without convulsions, and with-
out violence, from an arbitrary Government, to
the reign of the laws."

66 'We think ourselves here in a critical situa.
tion. The Merin is general, . especially among
the native iiihatitants i but I do not suppose the
danger to be so very immediate, for I think we
may be able to continue here till. the month of
May. Colonel Trant set out on Friday for Braga,.
whence he will proceed io Salamundy, where he
will take the command of 3400 men, appointed
for the defence of thq, pass at that place, which is
said to be so strong that 100 men may defend it
against 12 000; it will likewise be strengthened
by additional fortifications.

could find, retired.

cia. According to accOnnta from Visit', Lord
Wellington was to march. today to attack Noy."
cIU AD RUDRIGU, Fes, I.—The enemy, to
the number of 9 or 10,000 d. men, have approached
this place at four different points. At half past
seven, yesterday morning, a flag of truce.arrived,
with a letter signed by Marshal Ney, requiring
the surrender of this place: The Major-General.,
'Don Andre do Hamad, Governorenfant' plice,
and President of the Supreme Junta of Castile,
I.i:to:lied the following answer':
" As President of the Supreme Junta of Old
Castile, as Governor of Ciudad Rodrigo, and as
a soldier, I have sworn I Will defend this place
for its lawful Bing, Don Ferdinand VII. to the
hit drop of my blood. The samo Is the resolu-
tion of the whole garrison, and of all the inha-
bitants ; which is the only answer I have to re.
turn."
Fcs. the whole of yesterday we
repulsed the enemy at every point at. which 'we
were attacked, and we have the satisfaction to say,
with the small loss of two men'kllled and well
wounded. Their foss was much greater ; and we
have convinced them that Ciudad Rodrigo is not,'
to be taken with the facility with which they had
flattered theMselves. To-day they have-ilisap.
peered, and seem to have divided themselves into
two columns.

the enemy's troops had gone from Talavera to
Truxillo, where their force on that day was 6,000

30 hors:.

tended King, or General Victors was at Seville,
with 8000 mea ; at Grenada, Sebastiani, with
12,000 ; in Cordova and Ecja, 8000 ; upon
