The limbers of the enemy were very great, but they were disper,ed like clouds of dust; and at eleven of the same day, (hneral Dupont entered Cordova, so that his march towards that city scarcely experienced a delay of two hours from the insurgents. The Magistrates and principal inhabitants of Valladolid were exposed to the most dreadful sufferings, while that city remain ed in the possession of the rebels. They erected a gibbet under the Captain General La Cuesta's windows, in order to compel him % terror to place himself at their head. Cevallos, on his arrival from Segovia at Valladolid, was put to death by the enraged populace. His head was stack on a pike, and carried in procession through the city, after which it was tossed about the streets. The general disarming was carried on without intermission ; and all the people in that city were returning to their duty. after the affair of Alagos, General Lefebvre continued his march ; and on the 16th he arrived in front of the gates of Sara gm - , .t• Ile made himself master of the entrenchments which -• the insurgents thad thrown up, on the piece of ground which was formerly covered with olive-trees, carried oil' the IS pieces of artillery, by which they were defended, and got possession of the middle-gate. The greatest anarchy prevailed in the city. On the 17th and ISOh the various negociations took place with the insurgents. General Lefebvre intended to remain for some time in the posi- , Lion which lie had taken, in order to prevent the well-affected inhabitants from being exposed to the horrors of an assault; sand it was supposed that his expectations of the happy result of this measure would not he disappointed. Marshal Moncey left Cuenza on the 16th, and was directing his march towards Regrtera. General Lefebvre was marching towards Alvacette, in the kingdom of Murcia. General Wre- , del was advancing into the kingdom of Grenada. The Prince of Castal Franco, the Councillor of Castille, Don lgnaz Martinez de V illela, and the Alcaide Don Louis Marcellin Perekjra, had returned from their journey into Ara gon. They made a report to his Majesty ou the subject of their mission, assuring him that the orderly classes of the inhabi tants had conducted themselves in the most satisfactory manner ; but that it was impossible to open a correspondence with the insurgents, as they had returned no answer to any of their let ters. General Lefebvre also had a conference with him on the 20th. The Emperor gave orders that every effort should be made to open the eyes of the insurg ents, before the city of Sara gossa should he exposed to all the horrors of an assault, which would inevitably be atteuded with the destruction of a great number of well-disposed people. Marshal Bessieres had tried every means which clemency could suggest to bring the mountaineers to a sense of their duty, but they had sent him no answer. The Archbishop of Burgos had also written to them, and addressed them in a canonical let ter, but these applications having been equally unavailing, the Marshal found himself compelled to forcible means. General Ducos marched against the Escudo, and General Merle to attack the narrow passes in the mountains of Reijnora. —The insurgents were routed before they could make more than one discharge, leaving on the field four lb pounders, and seve ral hundreds killed. On the 21st, the corps tinder both these Generals, which had formed a junction, approached St. Andero. The city m:.de proposals of surrender, in order to prevent an assault. FROM THE GOTTENDURGII MAIL, RECEIVED L4ST GoTTENBURGII, J ULY 22.—Upwards of 24 Captains of Merchants' ships have arrived here within the last week from Copenhagen; they have been released from prison in conse quence of the exchange of prisoners brought about by Admiral Sir J. Saumarez, who s-tit home in a Cartel all the Danish pri soners from hence that were taken onboard the Prince Christian 74-gun ship last winter. These Captains say that the tune of the Danes is much altered towards the English, and praise the good treatment they received. They report, that throughout Holstein the French have taken down from the Post Houses an other places all marks of Danish Royalty, and substituted thaw of the Emperor Napoleon. This conduct has given great of fence to the Danish Government, and with great reason, as Hol stein may now be considered as lost to Denmark.

FROM THE SPANISH PAPERS. EXTRAORDIN ARY G AZETTE OF SARAGOSSA. OF THE 30 JULY, !SOP. The day before yesterday, the Ist instant, about midnight, the French army encamped in the environs of this capital, began to bombard the town, and continued the bombardment until the evening of the fallowing day; during which time, upwards of one thousand four hundred bombs, and shells were thrown into the place. The French cavalry and infantry attacked some of the gates; but the heroic valour of the inhabitants and troops of the line succeeded in destroying, by a well directed tire, which was kept up with uncommon briskness, all who came within the range of their guns. The neighbouring fields were strewed with the dead bodies of the French. The Patriots bravely maintained their post, amidst the numberless bombs and shells which struck theirbatteries. In the afternoon of the Ist instant, the attack was continued by the French artillery and foot, but they were also routed with a very considerable loss. On the 2d instant at break of day, the attack was renewed at all points, and after having sustained a severe loss, and con vinced themselves of the persevering valour of the defenders of this capital, the French troops retreated, after a tire, which lasted twelve hours, without intermission. and proved extremely destructive to their ranks. The enemy's bombs, shells, and balls, without doing any considerable mischief, merely served to increase the hatred entertained against the enemy, and to remind us of the sacred duties which weowe to our religion, our coun try, our honour, and our King. The gallantry displayed by the officers and soldiers, and in particular by the artillerymen, and the officers and troops, who were stationed in the batteries and points attacked, is beyond all praise. A great number of arms have fallen into our hands, and lu the possession of the French, slain in the action, many precious articles were found, of which they had robbed the churches and private houses; we have taken a great number of prisoners of war. In the town of Exea twenty-five of the enemy's cavalry and foot were made prisoners, and brought to this capital. By an express which left Valencia on the 30th of June, the• pleasing intelligence has been officially received, that the French army, commanded by General Moncey, having approached the said capital on the 28th ultimo, the batteries opened upon them, and kept up for seven hours with such unremitting briskness, that the French were defeated with immense slaughter. and the neighbouring fields covered with their dead. 'l'lw remains of their army retreated in the utmost disorder, exhausted sc ith fa tigue, and destitute of provisions, is ilk a vastnuniber cif wound ed, on the road to Madrid, where the main body of the army of Valencia :malts them to rut off the retreat of the few who re main, and put them to the sword, iu return for the acts of vio lence against this capital. • EXTRACT OF A TRIVATE LETTER PROT/MT.
