am willing to leave it, to ferve you to the

Mr. Hadden had intended the above as a letter to the voters, but believing it will anlwer his purpofe (that of declaring his fentiments) and be more generally read by appearing in the ppet, induced him to alter his plan."

and from San Vincente de la Barquera, dated the loth ultimo, that the account ol general Blake being defeated is confirmed. He va engaged in continual aclions from the ioui th till the thirteenth. Oi the eleventh the Afturians having been uorlled on the left, the V. got poflVfiion of a height which co vered the road on which they retreated, and they were thrown into great con fu (ion, and general Blak retired to Reynofa : but a French column appearing upon this road

from Burlhos, he retreat d by Solo to San VinCente de la Barquera There, upon the 12th, he had col letfled near twenty thouiand of hib Wf troops, and the marquis de la Romana had taken the command, &

they would loon be in a ilate to ad

vance again. 4k The French army had occu

pied St. Andero, and Santona,

the former on the (ixteenth, ami the latter on the twentieth. Bui by the exertions of general Leith all the provifions, ammunitions ck llores fent by this country, ha been removed. " It appears that part of the ar my at Kftremadura had bten defeated near Burgos, by the French but there are no accounts ot their having advanced beyond it. Gene ral Moore arrived on the tenth a? Salamanca general Baird was at Aftorga." To this we add, on the credit however ot private letters, that tin French corps that advanced to Valadolid, had afterwards retreated to Burgos.

ourfelves, look to the invafion of
