Almeria and tire sea' coast, ow the purpose .of
desiVOYing the enemy'. corps still existing in that quarter,
whiletieneral Loveredo was to march direct against Riego,
who occupied Malan, in consequence of his having super-
seded Zayas. this double operation has had the most
favonrable result..
General lionnemains arrived on the 2fith of August at
Gador, and found there a flair of truce from Brigadier
I:nendulein, cononandi pg. a deraehment of Itierro's corps in
the environs of Almeria. 'That officer had constantly en-
deavonred to disturb our lin- of operations, to connect
himself with the detachments from the garrison of Cartha-
;sena. and had hitherto refused to listen to General Bulbs-
teros's argent recommendations to him to make his sub.
niissien. General lioenemains therefore rejected his pro.
positions, and intimated that he ronld only be regarded as
a prisoner of war. He submitted to this condition, alone
With the 700 men be commanded, among whom arc 190
officers, and Almeria was ocenpied on the 270. We found
there several pieces of artillery, and ammunition of every
kind. The Bishop. the Magi. tratee, and all the pmoilation,
turned out to meet the troops, and gave them the most flat-
tering reception.
Another column belonging to the same corps. and CM-
vannied by Col. Sall:tells held the position of L'gyar.—
('amp Marshal Levavasseur ordered it to be attacked by
Pe men of the Stir Light, under the rbirf of battalion Ta.
'slant. It was routed, left an officer and live wounded pri-
a ates on the field of battle. and was soon compelled to sur-
render to the number of 410. among whom are two colonels
r 1 officers. The skeletons of the 4th, 3Sth, anti
53.1 of the line, which were in the environs of Almeria, vo-
luntarily made their sobtuission, and were marched to Gre-
nada with the p. isonera.
Gen. Bonnemeins having left a garrison of Royalist
• troops in Almeria, continued his march by Motril, where
he arrived on the 4th. In this expedition he gave fresh
roof* of his zeal. Ile particularly praises Col. de Choiseul
of the 19th Chassenrs for having perfectly seconded him.—

the preceding night, with about '2,:d:o men. The troops
which remained there under the command of Gen. Portia
were mails prisoners. They were in number 145, including
112 artillery men, 20 offieers, and 130 horses. Gen. Per as
and his staff had the same fate. Gen. St. Ulla:nails having
. dispatched in the direction of Velez Malaga the 20th Chas-
sears, supported by a squadron of the 10H1 Dragoons,' ese
troops charged the enemy's cavalry along nearly three
leagees, and took a regiment, called the King's Dragoons.

officers, and 140 privates mounted, and besides a fine aqua-
dron of horse artillery 100 strong.
On leaving Malaga, Riego had sent off, under the con-
voy of a brig and an armed vessel, 10 large boats with
hostages, and the money raised in the country. Immedi-
ately on his arrival, Gen. Loveredo dispatched two gun
boats in pursuit o. the convoy, which they overtook, and
compelled the armed vessel, and eight of the boats, to return
to port. Riego took the road to Velez Malaga, hoping, no
doubt, to gain Carthagena ; but the movement of General
Bonnemains obliged him to throw himself into the moun-
tains, and Count Molitor has taken measures for pursue
ing him.
The operations of the siege of Pamprluna commenced on
the 3d of this month. To enable the engineers to recon•
noitre the approaches and to open the trenches, it was ne-
cessary that all the enemy's outposts to he driven in. Mar-
tha' Lauristoo accordingly caused an attack to be made on
the imbued). of La Roehappea and La Magdelaine, the con-
vent of San Pedro, and the Casa Blanca, situated on the
Tolosa road, by the 7th division, commandsd by General
Viscount Junin. The attack commenced at five in the
morning, and at half-past seven the two suburbs were oc-
cupied by oar troops, who, under a shower of grape shot,
carried the houses, which were loop-holed and entrenched,l
with the greatest intrepidity. On the other hand, the 12th
division, commanded by Lieutenant-General Pechense.

hie positions, was obliged to take refuge in tie fortress.

Leadenhall-street.

The Chairman (W. Wmaam, Esq ) proceeded to lay be-
fore the Proprietors a variety of Papers which had been
presented to Parliament, since the last General Court. Ile

114ileyboryt.:oPege.
Mr. Hume took the opportunity of inquiring whether
toy report had been drawn up by the last College Commit-
tee It would be satisfactory to know how the College bad
been conducted during the last half year ; whether it 'had
been conducted quiet and peaceable, and free from dis-
turbance.
The CHAIRMAN had the satisfaction to state to the Court'
that at the last visitation, which occurred in June last, the
situation of the College was in every respect entitled to
praise.
Mr. flume wished to know whether any alteration hail
been me.le in the statute? They had been told by the late
Chttrman (Mr. Paulson). that the recent disturbances in
the College were under the consideration of the College
Committee, who would be prepared at an early period to
lay the result of their inquire before the Court. Under
these circumstances he shoal:lW glad to learn whether the
Committee bad come to any determination, and what it
was ?
The CHAIRMAN answered. that the College Committee
bad made a report on this subject. It was now before the
Court of Director; but they had not thought it necessary
to alter any of the College Statutes.
Mr. Hume inquired, whether there was any objection to
produce that report.
The CHAIRMAN was sure the Hon. Proprietor would not
press for the production of a document on which the Court
of Directors had not founded any proceeding.
After a few words from Mr. It. JACKSON and the Chair-
man, the conversation dropped.
Mr. Hume asked how many Cadets, exclusive of those
in the College bad been sent out to India during the last
year ?
The CHAIRMAN answered, that 131 Cadets had been ap-
pointed to India, and 35 appointed to the Military Semi.

the necessity of adopting some means by which every
