Then follows along tirade against the Duke 
Del Infantado, which ends with stating, that 
<« he wilt lose his titles, his property valued 
at 2,000,000 livres a-year, and he will go to 
London, to seek the coatemipt and ingratitude 
with which England: has always rewarded the 
men who sacrifice their honour and theircoun- 
try to the injustice of their cause.” 
The Bulletin: continues: ‘*As soon as the 
report of Count Lubienski was known, the 
Duke of Istria put himself in motion with 16 
squadrons, to observe the enemy. The Duke 
ot Beliuna followed with the infantry. The 
Duke of Istria arrived at Guadalaxara, and 
foundthere the rear-guardof the enemy, which 
was filing towards Andalusia, dispersed it, and 
made 500 prisoners. The General of Division | 
Roffin, and the brigade of dragoons of Borde- 
sault, informed that the enemy were moving 
towards Aranjuez, proceeded tothat place. The 
The enemy were put to flight, and these troyps 
were immediately sent in pursuit of all those 
that are Aving towards Andalusia. The Ge-

ther particulars of thetranquilstate of Madrid, 
and the orderly manner in which that city 
was taken possession of, &c. A French sol- 
dier found guilty of plundering a number of 
watches, was shot in the principal square.—»

The “King of Spain” (Joseph) had formed 
two regiments of foreign troops, from the Spa- 
nish army; one the Royal-Foreigners, and the 
other thatof Reding the younger, a Swiss Gene- 
ral of a very different character from that of the 
Spanish General of thesame name. The 5th 
and 8th corpsof the French armies were but 
passing the Bidossa, very far from the line of 
the French army, and all the victories recount- 
ed were already obtained, and the business al- 
most completely settled.

passed the Tagus at Aranjuez, advanced to- 
wards Ocara, and cut off the retreat of the re- 
mains ofthe Army of Andalusia, which wish- 
ed to retire to their own province, and throw 
themselves towards Cuenca. The divisions

Then follow some particulars of the siege 
of Rosas, in Catalonia, which had not surren= 
dered; but it is supposed the inhabitants were 
thinking to evacuate it. About 400 Engl.sh- 
men, who had landed, were killed or driven 
into the sea by an Italian regiment. An at- 
tack made by the Spaniards on the Huoray 
was repulsed with loss. 
Seventeenth Bulletin. 
Madrid, Dec. 10.—His Majesty reviewed 
yesterday on the Prado the Duke of Dantzic’s 
corps, which arrived the day befor yesterday 
at Madrid. He expressed his sati:faction at 
these brave troops. To-day he reviewed the 
troops of the Confederationoi the Rhine, form- 
ing the division commanded by Gen. Leval. 
The regiments of Nassau and Baden behaved 
well. The regiment of Hesse.Darmstadt did 
not Sustain the reputation of thetroups of that 
country. The Colonel and Major appear to be 
men of moderate talents, 
The Duke of Istria set off on the 5th for 
Guadalaxera. He scoured the whole readfrom 
Saragossa and Valencia, made 500 prisoners, 
and took a great deal of baggage. At Baston a-

Cruz, a corps which covered the flight of the 
enemy’s army. That corps was closely pur- 
sued and a thousand prisoners taken. It wishes 
ed to throw itselfinto Andalusiaby Madridego. 
It appears to have been forced to disperse in 
the mountains of Cuenca. 
Eighteenth Bulletin. 
_ Madrid, Dec. 12.—The Central Junta of 
Spain had but little powér; the greater part of 
the provinces paid it little submission, an all 
of them deprived it of the administration of the. 
finances. It was under the influence of the 
lowest class of the people ; it was governed by 
the minority. Florida Blanca was without any 
credit. The Junta was under the controul of 
two men, the one named Lorenzo Calvo, a 
grocer of Saragossa, who had in a few months 
obtained the title of Excellency : he is one of 
those violent men who appear in revolutions : 
his honesty was more than suspected. The 
other is called Tilly, formerly condemned to 
the gallows as a thief, the younger brother of 
a man of the name of Gusman, who formerly 
played a part under Robespierre during the 
reign of terror. Assoon as any of the Mem-. 
bers of the Junta opposed the violent measures 
that were proposed, these two wretches imme- 
diately called out ‘¢ Treason,” and immediately 
a mob was collected under the windows of 
Aranjuez. The extravagance and wickedness 
of these dangerous men manifested itself upon 
all occasions. As soonas they Jearnt that the
