they had several times broken our lines of

manner which astonished and terrified the
enemy, and which has few examples, for
they not only Immediately dismounted all
the artillery of the enemy, but routed
whatever columns presented themselves,
always protecting the points attacked, and
varying their positions as circumstances
required.
Gen. Dupont then placed himself with

a last attack with admirable holiness ;
but with no better success, and we are

In this situation Gen. Dupont requested

SIR,
Your government vessel the St. Mi

port IS circulated that the French DEGREES
against your commerce are to be immedi-
ately rescinded, and as we consider our
ministry pledged to remove the orders in
council thereupon, cur market is entirely

thing official has yet been given, but the
ministerial London print of this morning
reasons ON the probability of such a mea.
sure being about to take place. The Spa =

ter is given, by this time not a Frenchman
can be alive in Spain Ten thousand
