the defeat OF Castanos, a battle had been

much worsced. [ is added, that The Spa

been issued, declaring every unmarried man
and wldower, from 8 to SO, who did not

ven the nuns had Quilted the convents, and
were at work in The trenches. 'ihe same
papers also state, that there was much des-
pcra,e fighting after Bonaparte entered Ma
drid and add, that the French have lost
$4,000 men since they entered Spain. They
confirm The union of the British generals &
Romano, AID state they were going TO march
TO Yaiadolid, with the view Of cutting off
the communication between Bonsparte's ar
my at Madrid, and his rear at As,orgo.
Corunna is cerranIy situate at great dis
lance from Madrid, the principal scene Of
action vet We see little reason to discredit
tn Junction of the British troops and Ro-
mana, both from antecedent accounts and
local circumstances. The victory said to
be Obtained by Castanos, is not SO strongly
to be entitled to belief. Ii any great victo-
~ has been obtained by the Spaniards,it is
most probably by PaIatox, near S1ragossa,
over marshal Ney, as the French bulletins
are very sly and obscure in ttclr mention of
that town.

VIEWS OF THE CORRESPONDENCE, &c

We propose in a series of numbers, to review
the principal points which are to be found in the
late Correspondence, submitted to the reople Of
the u. States-to touch on the policy and plans of
the British government-to expose the insolent
department of Francis James Jackson-und what
is more material, to "vindicate the ways" of our
administration, and to expose the CLOSES, the
tricks, the subtleties of the Federal prints & adj
herents. This task of refutation would be al
most endless, lift were to extend to every misre-
presentation or mistake-The presses, in the
cause of the British EX-Minister, are PLAYING off
an incessant fire of artillery. Three federal
prints in Boston-fsur in New-York-two in
Fhiladelphia-two in Baltimore-Ssc. &C. are all
enlisted in this honorable service Some that
gave way to the first blush of the occasion, and
spoke the sentiments of Americans, are now
creeping back TO their holes. Woe be to
