manners, and of religion, contributed not a
little to that disposition of mems minds
They reproached The Snaniartls with having
no longer an army TO unite with theirs; and
with having deceived the English govern
msnt. The Spaniards returned for answer,
that Spain had numerous armies. bat that
the English had allowed them to be destroy
Gel without having made any effort to assist
them. During the fifteen days that have Just
elapsed they did not fire single musquet
The light cavalry only had given some blows
with their swords. General Duresncl at the
head Of 400 light horse of the guard, fell i'm
ut the close OF the evening with Column
OF English infantry on their march, sabretl n
number of soldiers and carried disorder into
the columns. General Lefebvre, Disnonet-
tss, colonel Of the chasseurs of the guard,
detached two days before, with three squa-
drons OF his regiment, having taken a guam
hty OF baggage, of women and stragglcrs, &
finding the bridge of Ezela cut down, ina
g'ned that the town of Benevente was svacu-
ated. Carried away by that inpctuosity
with which the French soldiers have been
so often reproached, he swan across the ri
yer in order to make for Bcnevente, where
he fell in with the whole of the cavalry of
the rear guard of the English long contest
here ensued, of four hundred men against
thousand.
There was no resisting numbers. Those
brave fellows recrossed the river. The horse
of gen. Lefebvre was killed by ball He
had himself received a wound from pistol
shot, and, being dismounted, was made pri
soner. Ten of his chasseurs, who had also
been dismounted, were likewise taken, s
were drowned, and 90 were wounded. This
sharp affair must have convinced the En-
glish what they would have to dread from
such men in general action; gen. Lefebvre
undoubtedly committed a fault, but it was
the fault of a Frenchman he ought to be
blamed and rewarded at the same time
The number of prisoners taken from the e.
ne!!y, up &c the present moment, and who
are chiefly composed of scattered individuals
and stragglers, amount to 500. On the 2Sth
the headquarters of the Emperor were at
Valderas; the head quarters of the dske of
Dalmatia at Manila, the duke of Elchingen
at Villatoria. On his departure from Madrid
the emperor appointed king Joseph his
lieutenant general, with the command of the
garrison OF the capital, together with the
corps OF the dukes of Dantzic and Beliuno;
the divisions of cavalry of Lasalle, Milhaud,
and Latour Maubourg, are left for the pro-
lection of the center. The weather is ex-
ceedingly bad. To piercing cold, heavy
and continued rains have succeeded: We
suffer, but the English must suffer still more.

sailed from the former place on the 2 lst of
February, and the latter days since. A
gentleman passenger, has politely furnished
us with a sic of London papers TO the 4th of

gencc.
That the British army in Spain, had re-
treated to Corunna, were they had very dcs-
perate battle with the French, in which the
commander in chief, Gen. Moore was killed,
and Sir David Baird wounded, having lost
an arm. That all the British troops that
could get on board the transports at Curunna,
had arrived in England, and that from to
10000 men were stated to be missing, and
only 500 horses savedout of about 5oOo-that
the Emperor Bonaparte had returned to Par
is, being fearful that the Emperor of .dustria,
was going to declare war against him. That
King Joseph had been defeated by the Span
iards and driven from Madrid, but had re-
turned there again--that the Spaniards were
concentrating all their forces in the Southern
part of Spain, and if defeated by the French,
would retire to Cadiz, from whence it was
supposed they would embark for Sou,h A
merica. The British had recently sent 10000
troops to Spain, and $4,000 more were pre-
pairing &c gc-that the British Parliament
met about the 2lst of January and that no
change had taken place in the British Minis
try-that the Sloop of war Halifax, sailed
from Bermuda, days before the Prince A
dolphus, for Norfolk, having on board Mr..
Oakley, bearer of Dispatches, said to be of
tie utmsst importance, that were brought to

blacks, rose en- masse upon the French inhsb-

persons of those, who did not fortunately cs-
cape on board the shipping in the harbour.
Many of those that made resistance were
massacred. In the afternoon of the next day,

of three hundred of the insurgents were taken
prisoners and sent to the different ior;ihca-
tons opposite to the harbour. The insur-
gents had committed their depredations on
the French estates situated several leagues
from the city, destroying all the coffee trees,
and demolishing the buildings
AT the time our informant left the Hapcna,
tranquility had been restored in the city but
the country was still in state of confusion.
The Americans and English in the harbour,

of the governour, ordering'all the French OIL

expected to take place on those vessels bound
to America, in order that they might avail
themselves of an opportunity to leave the

Scenes here are beyond any pen TO describe,
ioccasioned by the arrival Of so many trans
port with troops just taken from tie held OF
battle, the wounds OF some OF whom have
never been dressed,wlile others are dying Tor
want. No less than 900 women have been
landed, al ignorant whether their husbands
were dead or living.--ln this town and the
neighbourhood upwards of 5oOi. have been
subscribed for the relief of the sufferers, and
a committee of gentlemen have been sitting,
by rotation, night and day, since Thursday
last, in order to afford supplies of food, coath-
ing, and assistance TO those who required I'M
mediate aid and every woman, OF every des-
cription, who had a sc ond garment, has Civ
en- it to the sufferers. Every house has be-
come IN hospital /; for every house receives
sick or wounced person, giving food, and ne
oessaries OF all kinds. Notwithstanding those
: exertions, greatnumbers are dying every day
all business gives way to the calls o. suffering
humanity Ladies in person attend the sick
,nl wounded, dressing the wounds of the sol
Gicrs themselves; thus supply the want of
sufficient number of medical men,at the same
time that many of the wounds, from not hav-
ing been examined, were iii putrid and most
offensive state..
These are not exaggerations they are
certain facts Witnessed b. many thousands.
Every female in Plymouth is employed in ma
king shirts, petticoats, caps, gowns, and ne
cessary clothing for the women. The Patri-
otick Fund, l am afraid, will have more claims
