Loubon, MONDAY, AUVENIBER 21. POLITICAL or THE WEL:k. Spanish Papers arrived yesterday to the 16th inst. They contain no news from the Army later than the sth. Ac counts had reached Gijon of Ceneral BLAKE's succession that day; and it was reported that he had re-occupied hill).):), on the Bth, after havin4 defeated Marshal NET the day before, with the loss of 10,009 men. This rumour is fart;ter strenAthened by several Letters from Plymouth, All agreeing in respect to this splendid advantage. We we could vouch for its authenticity. This account was brought by the Black Joke, which was the bearer of Dispatches to Government. The Corunua Papers to the 16th are, however, totally siient on this suby.ct ; and as uine days elapsed from that of the rumoured victory, ma fear there is no truth in the statement. Part of the British army had readied Salamanca, where Sir JOHN MuoitE had joinek! Giem. A number of new levies had arrived at Burgos., and the Army of Estremadura nas approaching that city. The greatest activity, according. to accounts from Seville, pre vails in forwarding the military equipments in Andalusia. We have received, likewise, Dutch Papers to the 151.11 inst. They contain no other mattn of importance than the Evacuation of the Prussian Provinces, with the excep tion of the fortresses of Stettin, filogan, and . Cusiren, the 18th inst. The arrears of the contributions doe lo ? the KING of PRUSSIA, are to be paid in No instaitnent,, viz. sixty-six millions of livres in the month of November, and sixty-five millions within eighteen won tbs. Tile Ni'., was expected in Beriia towards the end of this mortis. The Dutch Papers contain new restrictions on the com merce of that country. Paris papers, received in the course of the week, con tributed to spread no small degree of alarm and anNie:; in the minds of the public These journals isn't their usual effrontery, announced a series of splendid victories, obtained over the Spaniards along the whole of their line ; and the latter are repiesented to have fled, without N. en the honour of resistance, like a flock of sheep, before tae tremendous Frenchmen. According to these accounts flie defeat of Blake was complete and decisive ; and his arty Ifected its retreat in the utmost confusion, after Karin; sustained a very great loss in killed, wounded and prisoners, with that of almost all their ;tallier% . The left icing of their army under Marshal Moncey obtained equal advan tages ; and the poor Spaniards were represented as con temptible, as dastardly. Such is a summary of the French accounts. Official Dispatches, received by Ministers from Lieute nant-Colonel CARROL, the British Officer attached to the army of BLAKE, have converted the gloom which the French accounts spread, into the most lively sensations Of joy. These Dispatches confirm, it is true, the intefligeure of the enemy having obtained a partial advantage on the 31st ult. but dearly bought and obstinately contested ; and of such a nature, that if they acquired half a dozen of that kind, instead of reaching Madrid before the conclusion of the year, they would soon be compelled to make a retrc gadc movement beyond the Pyrenees. This battle of the 31st. is the most glorious for the Spaniards, that has beta fought since the beginnine, of the present contest, and (we of the most memorable in their annals. BLAKE was at tacked early in the morning of that day ; and a thick fo4 covered the operations of the enemy. The latter charged with the impetnosay peculiar to that nation; and though the engagement lasted till night, the French, notwith standing the decided superiority in point of numbers, being 23,000, against 17,000, were unable to make the slightest impression on the Spanish line, though they made frequent attempts to break the centre, in conformity to their m ulti! of attack.
