" This imelligeitre does am agree, however, with that '
from Cadiz, according to whieit we learn that the envoy
was mill at Darned. but it is eettainly more likely that at
Cordova they should know the mob ements of air arnties better
than at Cadiz. lam therefore inclined to give every credit
to this law information, which (-oilcan with wher acelant,
which I have from various quarters."

VICII, OCT. 1 1.-..Wc are assured that three
battalions of French infantry have left the vici.
fifty of Gerona, on their way to France. There
is no question that the cause must be very ur-
gent that has induced the enemy to recal those
troops from a position where the enemy has so
much neAl of reinforcement.

TARANCORA, OCT. 18.—A party of Spanish
pikernen arrived to-day at this city from Cuenca,
and this evening or to-morrow morning a greater
number are still expected. Between Almonaid
and Mondegor 117 French infantry, with /4 ca-
valry, were surprised by a nnmcrous party Irvin
Empreimido, and engaged for more than three
hours, when several of the French were killed,
land the rest taken prisoners.
Couriers have arrived at Madrid from Santander,
Victoria, Burgos, and Itiesja, which has occasion.
ed much disquietude to the partisans and suppor-
ters of the French. According to letters from
Ycvenas and Tulelu, Nlarshal Victor has lissom.
bled in that neighbourhood 30,000 men. The
Officers of the 'l' ribunals of Police, established by
the usurped Government at Burgos and Victoria,
have arrived at Madrid. Gmeral Sebastiiii is still
in that capital : it is said, that he is to set out for
France, and that his corps, being the fourth
division of the army, will be joined to that of
Marshal Victor.

According to reports brought by an inhabitant
of this place, who has just arrived from Ocattha,
lit Is stated that the advanced guard of the French
cavalry, from sonic miienderstanding, continued
to fire a considerable time upon,each other, and
had. a number killed. In consequence of this
alarm, the troops that were at Ocaul►a and Aran.
juts, have abandoned those places.
CIUD I.D Itoonmo, OCT. 30.—Our army conti.
nnes at Salamanca. Last night 200 dragoons ar.
rived here from Cacere‘, and soon afterwaills more
came in. It is certain that General Ger.•ias has
had two succosful actions with the French
infantry from Astorga, and that the latter lust 500
men of the 1500 that were engaged.

SIKULLAI Nov. 2.—According t.) accounts
received from 1.1 Mancha, the enemy is retreating
to Toledo, leaving stime detachments in Ciudad
Real, Carrion, and Torralva : notwithstanding
this, their licad-qaurteni were at Daymiel ; but it
is certain that some regiments are retiring by
Mora, and we arc assneed they intend to unite at
Toledo, and that they have demanded daily rations
from the neighbouring villages. (Later informa-
tion confirms this account of the retreat of the
French.)
According to a letter from Talavera, the enemy
is uniting in the villages adjoining the Tagus the
few forces which he has there.
SEVILLE, Nov. 2.—'4%C have seen with satis-
faction a letter from a very intelligent person,
dated the '2lst October, from the heights of Brun.:
nolas, which is only a short league from Gerona.

those heights with the division under his commando
