THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
TUESDAY) JANUARY 7, 1812.

The Master of a vessel (cartel), arrived on Sunday, I °
at Dartmouth, from Modal:, who states, that six
American vessels, bound to London, have been taken
and carried into Morlaix within this last fortnight•

By the Dispatch packet, which has brought a Mail
from Cadiz in fourteen days, we have received Spa.
nish Journals to the 20th ult. From these we learn,
that Valencia held out so late as the 10th, and that
the enemy have again withdrawn their troops from
St. Roque; a movement which is attributed to the
want of provisions. The meditated attack upon
Tarifa seems also to have been abandoned for the
present. St Itoque is now occupied by BILL %STE.'
nos in person, and his advanced posts are stationed
at Los &nos. In anorthic, dated Elras the 7th ult.it
is said, a there is a talk here that 13adajoz is to be be-
sieged—that General Him. will fix his head-quarters
in Cacares--that the French from Placentia are re-
tiring, and that the last convoy proceeding to Ciudad
Rodrigo was obliged to retrogade on account et the
unexpected movements of Lord WELLINGToN."-•-lt
is not impossible that his Lordship may again attempt
the siege of Badajoa, and that the enemy may be re-
tiring from its neighbourhood to assist, in some new
operation ; bat when we find that the relief of Ciu-
dad ltodrigo was officially announced in recent Paris
Papers, while this is denied in the above article from
Elvas, we are igelined to regard the whole of its
contents as mere idle runtouit. The following are
extracts from the Cadiz Papers :
" CADIZ, DEC. 15.
" The intelligence from Valencia comes down to the 4111 inst.
at whirl time it gallantly defended itself. Letters from Knee-
-1 Ala to the '6th ult give as an idea of the extreme penury which
that peopk, worthy of a better fate, suffer."—(itedutteur
n,rai, Dcc.ls.)

66 CADIZ, Drc.l9.

" We are :mitred, that up to die 10th inst. nothing new had
occurred in Valencia, whose defence continues, n ithout the cue-
say having wad• any advances of consequence towards the color
',lesion of dick design."—( Itedecteur General, Dee. 19.)
" CADIZ, Dec. 16.

" The last expedition prepared with so much tare and ease-
(ton by Souza. to destroy BILLASTEROP, has had the same issue
as all n former. Ac army, amounting, we arc armired, to 1
18,t10 mwr, resliged our General to place himself under cover of
the artillery of Gibraltar, and at the same time threatened to in
eat Tarifa, garrisoned by a body of English and Spanish troops,
under the command of General Caron. lie was busied in
forming roads fur the heavy artillery ; had drawls reinforcements
frimt the army of VICTOR. and every thing attananeed a violent
and formidable attack. The asove-nents, however, of the pa-
triotic parties and light troops on the rear of the enemy, had re-
duced them to Coe greatest scarcity of provisions, and after haw-
lag remained for -noise daysat only half a ration a day, they be-
gan their retreat in the night, between the llth and 12th hastaat.
Our troops on the 19tn pccupied San Roque and Las Beans,
and had made some prisoners."
