sive, (ten days later than our former datesl

the 10th OF December, from which we
have made the following important ex-
tracts.
We learn verbally by a passenger in the brig
Matilda from Antigua, that ON the Goth oil
January a dispatch was received from Ad-
miral Cochrane, stating that Sir John
Moore with an army of Sc, 0OO men, had
attacked the French army in the environs
OF Madrid and completely routed them,
with great slaughter on both sides. The
English lost 1000 killed.
1t 10 fnrther stated, that a French so gun
ship with 500 troops and i700 barrels oi
flour, was captured after a severe engage
ment, going into Guadaleupe.b by the British
frigates Jason and Cleopatra.
