the French have fallen back to Burps, after teeing

Nov. 4.—Six thousand of the allied troop, hay.
arrived at Toledo, to reinforce Hill, who is observ.
ing the large army that Suult has collected on ti.
frontiers of Valencia, and whose vau•gaard has on.

Our hour for going to press has arrived, althousi
the post from Madrid has not. We can, ho%e%er,
assure our readers) thit that beloved city is covered
fpm all attempts of Soult by the valiant Hill, and
that the Satrap has retired.

dolid, to the neighbourhood of which, and that a
Palencia, the enemy were approaching. The officers
and soldiers who formed the escort, assert that it is
not a retreat on our part; it is one of those retro.
grade movements which the wise Wellington knows
so well how to adopt, and from which great silvan.
tages are expected. 1 t was also said, that at the de.
parture of the Courier, the enemy's van-guard had
been beaten not far from TOrguemado, which intelli.
gence was probably well-founded, because it Iran.
quillized men's minds, and the Administrator, who,
with others, were preparing to depart, changed their
intentions. If oar army continues to fall back, we
cannot at present determine whether it will proceed
towards Madrid or Salamanca.

I ALICANT, OcT. 17.—A1l the accounts we receive
from the interior of the *province occupied by the
; enemy, announce that they are going to retreat, and
concentrate their forces ; but the account of Soult's
army having caught the yellow fever, which has af-
Meted and devastated a part of this province, and
part of the kingdom of 1 alencia, demand the atter,-
tion and all the zeal of the Authorities, civil and mi-
litary, in receiving deserters and prisoners with that
precaution which the public safety requires.
EXTu icTS FROM PRIVATE LETTERS.
" A
n.LICANT, OCT. B.—The desertions from the
! enemy are great—Soult has left many of his men in
the hospitals of Granada, &c. and by the deserters'
laccounts he has brought an immense number of carts
! full of sick and wounded.
" Gen. Maitland has, from ill health, been obliged
to return into Sicily.
1 44 A detachment of the 81st regiment, consisting
1 of 500 men, left us on the evening of the 3d, with
100 grenadiers of De Roll's, and 40 artillery and 'ar-
tificers, to endeavour to surprise the Castle of Denia,
where the General supposed they had a depot of
corn, and the garrison being reduced to 50 men.—

so near; they were taken round on the Fame and

The- division of the Russian fleet, which was at
cfronstadt, amounting, we believe, to 11 sail of the
1::se, besides frigates, sailed arum that port for this
country on the 27th October, and was sten all well
on the 29th. The division which was at Archangel
had not quite completed its equipments, but was to
sail for this country as soon as pos• hie: it amounts
to men sail of the line. The whole amount of the
fleet it eighteen sail of the Hue and twelve frigates.
