BULLETIN.
1t appears 10y dispatches received from
~"runna, dated the 22d, and from San Vim
cente de la Barquera, dated 18th uIt. that
the account of Gen. Blake being defeated is
confirmed. He was engaged ia continual
ictions from the 4th till the 18th. On the
i& II, the hustrians having been worstcd in
'he lett the French got possession of a heigh;
winch covered the road on which they re
treated and they were thrown into greal

oan Vincente dc la Barquera. There upon
the l7th, he had collected near 90 con of his
troops, and the Marquis de la Romano had
taken II command, and they would soon be
iii a state of advance again.
Inc French had occupied St. Andero
ana S~ahtona-the former on the 10Th. and
the latter on the Goth. But by the exertions
OF zen. Leith, ali the provisions, ammunition
and stores sent by this country had been re.
moved.
1T appears that part of the army at Es-
tremadura, had been defeated near Bureos
ny the French I; but there are no accounts of
thelr having advanced beyond it. General
Moore arrived on the 10th at Salamanca
Geperal Baird was at Astorga.
10 this we add, on the credit, however, of
private letters, that the Preach corps mad adj
vanccd to Valladoiid and mad re-
treated to Burgess.

MS Afternoon arrived here the Bonnie
Cheyenne, Capt Thompson, with dispatches
from Corunna, from whence the Bonnie CT
toyenne sailed on Saturday last the 26th nit
Captain Thompson brings dispatches from
zen. Biake1s army, which continued retreat
ing, but bravcly defending every inch IF
ground till tho 24th, when Gen. Bake made
a hrin stand and repelled his enemies, nu,nc
rous as they were. After this action Gen.
biakes force remained 2j 600 strone. This
we must think very good news; but we regret
to near that Romana'S force, having made
some mistake in the route fell in with the
enemy, and after a brave resistance, and ha-
wing slaughtered an immense number Of the
cheih', he was ut length ~oyerpowcred aud
cut N pieces. We regret still more to learn.
Ihat BOZ apartes emis.aries had but too well
succeeded IN stirring up faction, and that the
Prince of Peace's parry was forinidab. c in

val Ultimately succeed over ~Bonapar,e and
the y ince of Peace.
