a most gracious manner returned the following answer:

"I consider it às a real festival, to dine in the hotel of my good city,'and thereby give an evident proof of my love to it. Its inhabitants must love me, and I believe in the sincerity of what they say. Their interest and their happiness are in my heart Present or absent, I shall often think of my good city, to bestow on it whatever may be wanting to it, and thus render it worthy of myself and my great people."

At these words, the acclamations redoubled, and the Emperor passed into another apartment, where several persons of distinction, public officers, &c. were assembled; after which he returned into the hall of the throne, and from thence, accompanied by the Empress and the Kings and Queens,went into the dining hall.

The following report has been received from the Marshal Duke of Dalmatia :

TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER AT WAR.

Dos Barrios, Nov. 19, 1809. The troops of his imperial Majesty have gained a signal victory. The battle was fought in the vicinity of Ocana, where the insurgents had assembled a force of 50,500 men, 700 of whom were horse, with a numerous park of artillery. The 4th army, joined by the 5th, under the orders of Marshal Duke of Treviso, the division of dragoons commanded by Gen. Milhaud, the division of light horse under the command of Gen. Beaureyant, and the brigade of light horse of Gen. Paris, the royal guards, and two battalions of Spanish troops, marched yesterday from Aranjuez to meet the enemy, who, according to every intelligence received, had taken post at Ocana. About nine o'clock this morning our advanced parties came in sight of the enemy's army; at eleven o'clock the action commenced,

and in two hours it was decided in our favour. The Spaniards, encouraged by their superiority in numbers, made a vigorous resistance; but they were attacked with such irresitible valour by our troops, that they soon gave way; their position was carried, and they were thrown into the utmost confusion.-All their artillery and field equipage fell into our hands; more than 50 pieces of cannon have already been brought in; 15 stand of colours, and numerous prisoners, have been taken, among whom are 9 generals, 6 colonels, and 700 inferior officers. The ground is covered with the slain, and with more than 40,000 muskets, They who escaped took to flight, without arms, and without knowing whither to direct their steps.

This morning the King gave the command of the cavalry to General Sebastiani, and the admirable manner in which he maneuvred and made his charges fully justified his Majesty's choice. General Milhaud also greatly distinguished himself, and all the different commanders of horse displayed the utmost intrepidity and valour. The Marshal Duke of Treviso commanded the infantry of the 4th and 5th corps: it is utterly impossible to behave in a more gallant manner than he did; he received a contusion in the arm, but this did not prevent him from continuing the command. Our loss is proportional, and does not in my estimation exceed 400 men. The Marshal Duke of Belluno is ordered this morning to cross the Tagus, between Villa-manrique and Fuente Dueña. He is to attack the enemy in the position he has taken up at Santa Cruz, and pursue in what ever direction he may choose to retreat. He was this morning informed by letter, that the enemy had concentrated his force near Ŏcana, and ordered to direct his march to that point. As he had to perform a very long march, he could not

arrive sufficiently in time to share in the action; nay, the King did not receive any intelligence from him the whole of the day, and his Majesty is therefore perfectly ignorant of what the Duke of Belluno has being doing. I shall have, however, to make further report on this subject as soon as possible.-Please to lay my report before his Imperial Majesty, and to accept the assurance of my high consideration.

Marshal Duke of DALMATIA,

Major-Gen.

Madrid, Nov. 20.-The battle of Ocana, which the King fought yesterday, was one of the most decisive which the troops of his Majesty the Emperor and King have ever fought. The members of the junta of Seville who have the most influence, were in the rear of the army of the insurgents, and announced in a high tone, that they were going to hold their sittings at Madrid, but they were the first to fly. This appears to be the last effort which the junta of Seville will make. The following order of the day has been published, and affixed up in all the public places:

Head-quarters of the Spanish Army, Vornel, Nov. 27.

ORDER OF THE DAY.

chief of the army, marshal of the empire, expresses to the general of division, Pimb, and to all the troops under his command, his entire satisfaction with the glorious conduct of that division on the 7th November, in the attack of the town of Hostal rich, which they carried by assault, notwithstanding the vigorous resis tance which they met with from 2000 troops of the line, part of the armed inhabitants, and the artillery fire from the fort and towers, where the enemy had mounted several pieces of ordnance. This division has completely attained the object of its mission by destroying all the maga zines which the enemy had formed in that place. A punishment will serve as a warning example to the rest of the towns in Catalonia which still persist in this revolt, and take up arms instead of peaceably re maining at home.

General REY. Chief of the Staff of the 7th Corps,

Flushing, Dec. 2.-The English are all preparing to leave us, and all correspondence will be at an end with this island. Many of the inhabitants of this town are packing up, and going to Holland, dreading the inundations during the winter, as the several basins have been destroy, ed. The dock is ruined, and the arsenal is undermined to be blown up, The slucies are also to share the same fate. The damage which will be done to this town will at least require the labour of ten years to repair again. All the baggage of the soldiers, as also General Don's, have been ship ped, and but few troops left in this city-Provisions begin to be very scanty, owing to the quantity ship ped and taken from the storehouses, All the carriages belonging to the ar tillery are on board; the admiral has condescended to allow four trans ports for the use of the merchants,

The following account of the

at Seville, is understood to be derived from the noble person by whose. interposition the junta was preserved: "When Marquis Wellesley was at Seville, information was communicated to him, that a plot had been formed to seize the whole junta in the night, while they were engaged in council, to put to death some, and to send off others to South America, to declare a regency, and to place at its head the old Cardinal Bourbon, the Duke del Infantado, the Marquis de Romana, and two others; that the Duke's regiment of guards, then at Seville, were to be the principal actors in the plot. The Marquis could not, of course, suffer such a design to be carried into execution without giving notice to the junta, which he did immediately. The junta were in a dreadful state of alarm, and threw themselves upon the protection of his lordship, who promised to go instantly to the Duke del Infantado, but urged the imperious ne cessity of their attending to the popular wishes, convoking the Cortes, and making several reforms in the administration of affairs. This was promised, and the marquis had a conference with the Duke del Infantado, who exerted his influence so effectually with his regiment of guards, that the design was not carried into execution. The junta, relieved from the danger that had alarmed them, contrived to remove the duke's regi

ment, and to introduce other troops upon whom they could depend. They then shewed a reluctance to fulfil the promise they had made. The greatest indignation was again excited against them, and the Marquis of Romana is understood to have made a long speech to them, in which he upbraided them in the most cutting terms. Fearful of the popular vengeance, the Cortes were at length agreed to be convoked.”

A gentleman in the neighbour hood of Bury St. Edmunds, has ve ry lately received a letter from the son of that virtuous and christian philosopher, who was driven by the persecution of party from Birming ham, to seek an asylum in America, of which the following is an extract:"

Northumberland, Oct. 7, 1809. "Mr. Jackson has arrived, but we hear nothing yet of any propo sals for the settlement of the differ, ences between the two countries. While England is thus putting off the day of reconciliation, and har rassing this country by her oppres sive and ever varying edicts, we are making astonishing strides in the ma- . nufacture of cloathing; and shall shortly be independent of England, for all that is absolutely necessary. Eve ry family in this county is turning its attention to domestic manufac ture; and I now get the greatest part of my cloathing made at home,”

It had been but too little the fashion in that court to exercise their undoubted privileges on matters of great conse quence to every individual of the British public. If the city of London were pre vented by courtly influence, from the as sertion of its rights, or were so time-serving and base as to refuse to do its duty, then the best rights and advantages they enjoyed were virtually done away.
