LISBON MAIL.

Minato, OCT. 27.—0 n the 19th instant, the
Allied Troops were situated on the right of the Ta-
gus, waiting the enemy's approach, who attempted
to surround General Bassecourt, with from 6 to
8(X) horse, and from 3 to 4000 infantry ; and, on

the evening of the 18th, this force was detained at
the bridge of Atalayculas, by the Yaguan section of
dragoons, anti the hussar squadron of Arragon, who
succeeded in preventing the enemy, for more than
three hours, from passing the said bridge; in the
mean time, the other troops belonging to Besse-

court, defiled and retired, with the greatest order.
This opi.ration, in which we lost some men, cost
the enemy very dear.
On the 24th, the enemy occupied Belmonte, ap-
pprently wjth the object of covering, by this posi-

lion, the march which they are making by the rear
towards Cuenca, and there do not want indications
to induce us to believe, that
:they will proceed from
thence to Arragon ; this, together with the intelli-
gent* of a large conycy having left Saragossa, in the
direction of Jaen, and of the enemy haying repaired
the bridges on the road from Saragossa to Valencia,
confirm us more and'more in this (Onion.
They write from Calatuytal, under date of the
15th instant, that on the preceding day some French
troops had arrived at Altnuma, who took off the
garrison, and returned to Saragossa. They have
done the same with the other troops Rho were sta-
tioned in the other points of Arragoe; on this side the
fibre, thus allowing D. J. Duran's division to ex-
tend itself, without opposition, throughout the whole
line of the high road and villages, and prevent the
enemy from collecting provisions for their magazines
in Saragossa.
On the 11th instant, General Mina maintained a
very obstinate action; a brisk and continual lire was
kept up for nearly nine hours. The force of the
enemy was from 3500 to 4000 infantry, with 320
horse; ours was inferior in infantry and superior in
horse; our cavalry could not attack that of the ene-
my, who fell back and took shelter under their in-
fantry. We am cottfidently state, that the enemy's
loss in killed and wounded was triple ours.

THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
KOND.I Y, NOVEMBER 423, ISM

Dispatches were received yesterday from Lord
WELLINGTON, dated the 7th inst. but they contain
no new intelligence, being merely duplicates of his
former dispatches. A Lisbon Mail also arrived last
night, and has brought Papers to the 9th inst. but
they contain no great news from the army. A Cu,
diz Mail arrived this morning, containing an Address
from General BALLASTEROS to the Minister at War,
disapproving of the appointment of Lord WELLINV•
TON to the command of the Spanish armies. The
effect of this patriotic and spirited address from sei
distinguished a General, must be felt throughout the •
Spanish army, and add another feature to the dis-
union which has so unfortunately prevail: d since the.
commencement of the war. It will be seen by the
document itself, that General BALLASTEROS has re-
signed his command, and retired to a private station.
