We have this day inserted a great mass of intelli-
gence received by the Foreign Mails s; nee Saturday,
which will be found of considerable importance. In
addition to which, Government have received' dis-
patcheg from Col. Boyne, dated from Carunna the
21 and Sth inst. and we are sorry to say, that the
advance of the Frenzh is in such forte, as to excite
the greatest alarm for the safety of our -.-ray. Lord

ing anuirs in Spain :

tutorrn, NOVEMD ER 13.—The Prince Ernest
packet, Capt. PETRE, arrived yesterday from Lis-
bon, after a passage of nine days. Accounts by
er state, that Sourer end SUCIIET'S army combined,
amounting to 60,000, had advanced to Belmonte,
about 60 miles from Madrid ; head.quarters at Bel-
monte on the 23d ultimo—that Geeeral Met. with
40,000 troops, including Portuguese and Spaniards,
eras at and in the neighbourhood of Madrid, and
that not being strong enough to fight Sour.; Gene.
sal BILL had been pressing in his demands for as-
sistance ; in consequence of which the Marquis of
Wetaaeurrote had been obliged to abandon the siege
of Burgos, and was marching with 30,000 men to
join General Met., leaving General PAGET with a
corps of observation in the neighbourhood, of Burgos
to watch the 'notions of the enemy in that quar-
ter ; that MASSEY& had
„jointeleand taken the com-
mand efthe army, late under M A GAON r, bringing with
him a reinforcement of 10,000 men, which increased
that army to about 30,ciA). Massey advanced and
took possession of Burgos on or eiout the 22d ult.
the combined force; under Ceen. PAGET retiring as the
enemy came on. The artillery, and indeed every de..
3.ription of the British force, is seited to he in high
ci ; and a battle was confidently expected,
which, most probably, will decide the fate of Spaiu.
the apathy and indifference of the Spaniards to the
close of their country, is described as most disgust-
leg. They appear to feel no concern in the matter
(f this is true, their cause is hopeless indeed.
M A Ditlo, 13.—About 4000 men, with Gen.
Caele mac, have entered from France, the greater part
r.). them cluscripts, although some sui:pose the
French expect further reinforcements, there is not,
present, any indications of them.
It is said' that General Souu*n is eating to take
command of the Army of Portugal; that is, the
they gave the army which, in reality, occupies
Ceeeba and Port of the Wage.
On the Ist inst. a coasiderable number of wounded,
Ack, milieary stores. &c. left Vittoria for
France, escorted by 5000 men.
Various people in the employ of the intrusive
Xi.ig have arrived at Saragossa, and there is some
reaon for believing, that O'Fanneer. and (home°
are already in that capital ; but as there is a positive
reeler not to allow any Spanish renegade to enter
Prance, th. 2 fate by this prepared for the intrusive
King's partisans, makes theca exclaim against, and
jo:asnlif•Fiw. N.trot,Eom.
MNost:n, OCT. 21.—They write from Ademuz,
under date of the 12th, that on the 11th SOULT ar-
rived in Valencia, and was there with Sucitrr and
the intrusive King ; that they had drawn from the
City many equipages, and that the people, in civil
employments, had proceeded towards Castellon la
Plana. It is likewiee said, the French have sold the
gr nn to private individuals, although this is not so
Mita-0y asserted as the other. The most interesting
nreir is the great desertion of French, Germans,
and Yerementadoe, among whom are some officers.
