To avoid the danger of capture in making

mike C.pe Spartel, and keepas clear of the

Most Of those captured have mistaken the lat

were at Agramart, to withdraw to Igua-

they were afterwards entirely disbanded !;
the men, by small parties, regain as well

and horses, in order to procure subsis-

thrown themselves into the mountains Of
Arracon, where they occasionally fall in

other troops sent in pursuit of them. The

Ertract Of a Despatch from Lord yelling
a., 70 TonJ !;,ornooJ

Extract Of a DesRatch. from Lord Yelling
ton to Lord Lizerpool.
"The French army,of Portugal is still
on the right bank Of the Guadiana. On
the nightof the seth Gen. Blake made an
attempt to possess himself of Niebla.
whese the enemy had garrison Of about
500 infantry. am sorry to state to you
that this attempt has Failed, and that Gen.
has retired towards the Guadiana, after
remaining before the place until the Sd of
this month. 1t appears since, that the
intention of Gen. Blake was to embark
his troops for Cadiz; but neither Gene
raj Castanos nor myself have heard Of
him since the 18th Of June, the time he
left Jer0menka."
Itappears certain thata GOODNESS exists
between General Blake and Lord Wei
liugton for how could my Lord avoid
hearing from the Spanish general since
the 18th June ? Much had already been
said of a want Of sufficient intercourse be-
tween the officers Of the army of Blake ::
and this accords perfectly with the long
experience we have had of the little con-
fidence which pervades in, the national ar
mics of the Peuinsula.-It is very strange
that a garrison of 500 Frenchmen, at
Niebla should prove sufficient to repulse
$4,000 Spaniards.-Star.
July 90.
From intelligence received we are as
sured that General Blake will not go to
Cadiz, but proceed from Ayamonte to Ia
rita. near Gibraltar whilst some letters
speak to the contrary. and state that he
has already arrived at Cadiz.
