OF The Register, we have only time to make
the following selection for this days paper.
CADIz, Feb. goth, 1912.
The following dispatch has been received
by the Superior Junta of Catalonia, from
Gen. Lacy. 49,. $50.
Most Excellent Lord, .s-.
The enemy has assembled to reinforce Sc
succour Tarragona--I moved from Reus to
intercept him, & have so completely de-
feated him, that the commanding officer
was only able to effect his escape with few
cavalry--and even OF his body guard seve-
raj were taken prisoners. The total of pri-
soners amounts to 800, among them various
commandments and many officers-and the
number of the slain greatly exceeds that
proportion, occasioned by the rashness of
some, who had surrendered, afterwards fir
ing upon our troops.
The mareschal de camp, Baron de E.
| roles has, at the same time, acted as Ge-
neral Cuirassier, and Grenadier. The
| corps Of Cuirassiore, led by their comman-
! der Casasola, have acted in manner to- ex-
coed all praise.
The brave Comm ander Reding, of the
battalion of Busa, hasbeen seriously wounded

LONDON. March 19.
j The member of the Stock Exchange, to
whom we alluded yesterday, as having ab-
seconded with considerable property, is
James Fall. 1t is said that banking house
, at Bristol is likely to be the principal suf-
jferer. They had confded some time ago to
E the care of this broker, large quantity of
omnium for sale, whenever the price should
be such as to give All immediate order for
the disposal of it; and it is stated, that the
first intimation they received Of the fraud
practised ON them, was from Fall himself,
by letter forwarded to them after he had
quilted the country. In this communication
he informed them that if they had prudence
to keep the affair secret, they should one
day or other receive the whole value of the
property entrusted to him; but that in the
event Of their divulging it, they would never
recover shilling The bankers, notwth-
standing, made every enquiry after the de-
llinquent and the property they ascertained
that the former had sailed on board the
o rbit, American ship, for North America,
Tand arrived at New York the latter end
of last MONTH few days previously, and
THAT il was believed South America was his
ultimate object, having personal acquain-
lance with general Miranda, with whom
The had been recently in close correspon-
dence. Two daughters accompanied Fall
on his voy age, and also Mr.. Thomas
| Sheffield, ci-devant member of the Stock
Exchange. Their next object was to find
the principal part OF the property, which it
! had been understood the broker for conve-
nience had left behind him. BY good for
tune il was discovered that he had invested
IL ,0o0i in the navy per cents in the name of
two trustees informing them that it was
for the purpose of meeting certain engage
ments which he had contracted; and that
they would shortly be drawn upon from a
broad in name which he gave them, and
requested that the drafts might be honored.
| The trustees, who appear to have been in
nocently drawn in, on due consideration
have agreed to resign the whole of the
stock, on receiving proper indemnihcatIon
against any claim made in future for the
sa ne by Fall. In addition to this property,
$1,000. worth Of India bonds have been trac-
ed to his lats residence on the Wadsworth
