LONDON, Fill DAY, JUNE 19. Lisbon, June 8.—A plan is said to lie on foot, which promises Iiie greatest advantages; each British regiment is to receive into its ranks 10 Spanish recruits (not men already in arms) per company-, that Is, 100 each regimen t Letters were received on Monday from Pa- ris lo the 14th instant. Thev slale, in a rho. domontadmg way, that Bonaparte left Dresden, and would soon he heard of at SL Pelersbtirgh, unless file Emperor of Russia should comply with the whole of his demands. From tile style of onc article, tinted Ihe 1st iust. it is evident, tiial rumours relative lo the war MI Spain, of a nature very unfavorable to the views of Buonaparte, had been circulating in Parrs. In Hie sat no article, a formal con- tradiction is given to the orders of the day, said to have been issued by Bonaparte lo the French armyon the frontiers of Poland. The private letters by the last Anholl mail, state the strong possibility of a treaty of peace being concluded between Great Britain and Sweden. The delay ill thc accomplishmcnt of so desirable an object, which has hitherto occurred, is supposed to have proceeded, as mentioned in former communications, from Ihe circumstante that Mr. Thornton, thc Bri- tish Envoy, had no authority to accede lothe demand of a subsidy of 100,0091. per mon'h, which was required by the Swedish Govern- iiietit but It was rumoured at Gotleulinrgii, that the rejection of lIIoreconslderablc oHe.rs from Bonaparte would Induce the British Go-i vemment to grant the subsidy, in which case it was understood (has, in ihe event of a war, between Ittissia -,iiid Bei-:ii(lotlewoiild- take an active part with aitti cli- deavour lo effect a lauding in Germany with 40,000 men, in Ihe rear oftlie French army. The following is a letter from an officer of the San Domingo, dated off Ihe Scheldt, JfJile riie enemy are increased to 18 sailúf the line, besides smaller vessels but we un derstand they cannot man three properly.— When & few of them gel. tinder-weigh to exer- cise, they are obliged to have some men firom each of the squadron to work them they then cut a poor figure with their yards. There are 24 sail ot the line in the Scheldt altoge- ther. The ellcmy in the Texe! remain in the same state as when last ■reconinfiired. Admiral Ferriergoes off that port every spring tide, and remains there unlil the ride takes off; hul it is very doubtful if they can gel out even at the height of the sprins. This licet is com- posed of 23 sail of the line. It was yeslerday reported, on Ihe authorily of a letter, staled to have been received by the taIJresl ille frigate, "that the inhabitants of 1'. Hio de J-ancrio have declared themselves iiule- pendant of Portugal and have ordered the British Minister and Residents to quit the city." We hope, however, the report will prove unfounded Government have received no such intelligence. Official Dispatch from General Es.po- and Mind to General ilioulizabel. EXCELLENT SIR—"When the French thought me in the wood. of Upper Arragon, t marched in one day five leagues, to review the 1st, 4th, and 5tli battalions, and at seven in the morning proceeded with nil my force, from Arcos to Santa Cruz de Campezo. In the niorningof the follow- ing day, my confidential people informed me there was a convoy in Vittona, escorted by 2,000 Polish infantry of the Imperial Guard, and 150 horse, who at the same time, were conducting a portion of Spanish prisoners, helonging to the immortal Ballasteros. in a private council with- my secoudin command, Colonel G. Cruahaga, I resolved to interrupt it, and redeem such brave soldiers, worthy of their Gen. and Iheircountry." [Here Mina details the preparations which he made, and then thus proceeds:] — ,eo, The French, supposing [ was gone to the Py- reneese, departed from Vittoria. On the 8th, at noon, I marched my troops to the port of Guina, where they rested, to ena- ble them to walk, that night seven leagues, which was requisite, to arrive at their destination. Nigh t having commenced, tke march was vigorously and silently commenced, not a man separated, and proceeding between the garrison of Salvaterra and Vittoria, nothing was to be apprehended from the enemy. At break of day on the 9th, the 4th beulalian under the orders of its commandant, Don F.J. Assura, was situated in the neighbour- hood of Saleuas, territory of GuijJuseoa, frontiug the enemy's van guard; the 1st battalion, com- manded by Don 11. de Ubzutnm, formed upon Ihe left theSth, directed hy Don S-. Fernandez, on the right, the whole formed in -an oval, for the purpose of joining the right of the 5th with file lefl of tile ist, o circl,,2 itiat should embrace the whole convoy and force of the enemy. By the advice of the -skilful Cruahaga, 1 gave general orders that no soldier should fall upon the convoy till the battle was concluded, under pain of being shot, and that afler the first dis- charge, the three battalions should rush in with the bayonet. The French column marched with confidence, and quickly found itself enveloped by balls, and before recovering themselves were in contact, with my soldiers. Their great, extension did not allow of their being completely encircled, hut in a moment their vanguard Was destroyed the re- mainder made a vigorous resistance, lint, desisted the moment (hey observed that IllY hattaliotls I having settle;? their business with the vanguard), threw- themselves impetuously upon them with the baione-f, to which they became victims. i n iess than an hour, the battle was concluded, and my soidiers bathed ill enemy's blood. The valley resounded with the groans of expiring •Poles and unworthy Spaniards, whilst at the same time the soldiers of the highly deserving Ballasteros threw themselves round the necks of my volunteers. From (i to 700 bodies were ex- tended on the field of battle; 500 wounded were conducted to Vitoria, in 100 150 pri- soners, and the whole of the convoy, are the fruits of this day But their pleasure in releasing five officers, and 400 bra.ve Spaniards-, who pre- served the honour of the Spanish arms, is singu- larly !i,rat I [Here the General men!ions that Dtsbandes, Secretary to the intrusive King, who was ihe bearer of important dispatches to ihe Emperor, and had left his carriage disguised--as a peasant, was killed; thar, his wife, two other ladie's and live children, who fell iutodiis power were sent to Vittoria, and then proceeds.] We took the military chest of the 7th Polish infanrry, two flags, eight drums, and the corres- pondence with which Disbandes was charged. « Nothing could have escaped, if the castle of Aitsaban constructed in consequent of the action of illly, had not protected, with its four pieees of artillery, all those who hastily resolved to retire thither. '• Our loss appears inconceivable, which con- sists of only five killed and fifty wounded." Zeltiaiido, Al)!-il I I,"

Although the distance marched did not exceed five or six mit<*s, the diflicuUks of the road were such, that with the united exert ions, of officers and men, the column-cotsId not be formed for the attack before day-liht. Gonfiding., how- ever, in the valourøf the troop", I ordered the ass;iiilt of l,'(,.rt Niii)olcoii. My con. li-ence was fully justified by the event Tile 1st battalion of the 50th, and one wing of the 7 1st regiment, regardless of the enemy's artillery and musquetry, escaladed the woik in three places, nearly at the same time. The enemy seemed at first determined, and his ifre was destructive, but the ardour of our troops was irresistible-, and the garrison-was driven at the point of the-'bayonet, through the several entrenchments of the fort and point, across the bridge, which having been cut, by those on the opposite side of the river, many leaped into the river, and thus pe- rished. The impression made upon the enemy's troops troops was such, tire panic soon communicated itself to those on tire right bank of the river, and Fort Ragusa wa-s instantly abandoned, the garri- son flyingia the greatest confusion towards Naval 1 cannot sufficiently praise the conduct of the 50fh and 7 ist. regiments, to whom (he assault to fell. The cool and steady manner in which they lormed and advanced, and the intrepidity with which they mounted the ladders, and carried the place, was worthy of those distinguished corps, and''the officers who led them. Con!c5 the attack have been made before day, the 92d regiment, ender Lieut.-Co!. Gameron, the remainder of the 71st, regiment, under, the Hon. Lieut.-Col. Gadogan. were to have es-I reiladed the iete-du-poht, and effected the destruc- tion of the bridge, at the same time that the :rt,tack was made 011 Fort Napoleon. The im- possibility of advancing deprived them of this opportunity of distinguishing themselves-; but the share which they had in the operation, and the zeal which they had displayed, entitles them to IT)y contlieriiati(,n, and l CéJnnot avoid to mention the steadiness and good discipline of the 6th Portuguese infantry, and two companies 6f the 60th regiment, under Colonel Ashworth, which formed the reserve to this attack. Our operations in this quarter were much fa- voured by a diversion made by Lieut.-General Chowne, with the troopsiniderTiis orders, against the castle of Mirabete, which succeeded in induc- ing the ene'} to believe that we should not at- tack the forts near the bridge, until we harl form- ed the pass, and thus have made way for our artillery, The Lieut.-General conducted this operation, as well as his former advance, entirely to my satisfaction. I regret much that the pe- culiar situation of Mirabete should have prevent- ed my allowing the gallant corps under his or- ders to follow up an operation which they lmd commenced with much spirit, and were so an- to Complete. I cannot too stiongly express how much I am satisfied with the conduct of Major-Gen. Howard through the whole of this operation, the most arduous part of which has fallen to his share"; and particularly of the manner in which he led his brigade to 'he assault. 'He was ably assisted by his staff, Brigade Major Wemyss, of the 50th, an I Lieit.'enant Battersby, of the 23d Light Dragoons. To Major General Long I am also indebted for his assistance, although his columns was not immediately engaged. Lieut. Colonel Stewart and Major Harrison, of the'50th, and Ma jor Cother, of the 71st, com- manded the three attacks, and led them in a most gallant and spirited manner. 1 have received the greatest assistance from Lieut. Col Dickson, of the Royal Artillery, who with a brigade of 24-pounders, a company of British and one of Portuguese artillery-, your Lordship was pleased to put under my orders-; circumstances did not permit his guns being brought into play but, his exertions and those of his officers and men during the attack afi(I (ies- truction of the place, were unwearied. In the littfersei-vice Liciit. Tliiele, of the Rlnal Ger- man artillery was blown up; and we have to re- gret in him a most gallant officer; he Lhad parti- cularly distinguished himself in the assault.— Lieut. Wright, of the Royal Engineers, has also I Tendered me very essential service he is a most intelligent, gallant, and meritorious officer.; and I foustnot omit also to mention Lieut. Sillier, of the 29th regiment, whose knowledge of this part of the country proved of great assistance. YOTir Lord-Ship will observe, from the return of ordnance and stores, which I have the honour to enclose, iliat Almaraz has heen considered by the enemy in the light of a most, important sta- tion and I am happy to state that its destruction has been complete. The towers of masonary which were in Forts Napoleon and Ragusa have been entirely levelled; the ramparts of both in great measure destroyed and the whole appara- tus of the bridge, together with flic work-shops, magazines, and every piece of timber which could be found, entirely destroyed. A colour belonging to Ihe 4th battalion of the Corps Etranger, was taken by the 71st regiment, and I shall have the honour ot forwarding it to your Lordship. Our loss has not been severe, considering the circumstances under which the attack was made. list of t'lie killed and Nvotjii(lel. (,'rrii)t. Candler, of the 50th regt. (the only officer killed in the assault) has, I am sorry to say, left a large family to. deplore his loss. He was one of the first to mount the ladder, and fell upon (heparan pet, after giving a distinguished example to his men. I have had frequent occasions to mention to your Lordship in terms of the highest the conduct of Lieut.-Col. Rooke, Assistant Adjutant General. During the whole period I have had a separate command in this country, tlvut officer has been with me, and rendered most essential service to my corps on the present expedition he has eminently distinguished himself, and I be £ leave particularly to notice his conduct.— Your Lordship is also aware of the merits of Lieut. Co!. Offency, my Assistaut QuarterMaster General, of whose valuable aid I have been de- prived durinar the latter part of this expedition. Though labouring under severe illness, he accom- panied me, to the serious detriment of his health and until it was totally impracticable for him to proceed. Captain Thorn, Deputy Assistant Quarter Master General, succeeded to his duties; and I am indebted to him tor his assistance, and also to Major Hill and my personal staff. The Ma: quis d" AJn eida, Memberof the Junta of Estremndnra.has done me the honour to accom- pany mc, since I have been in the province: I have received from him as well as from the people, the most read) and effectual assistance, vrilicil to bestow. Major Ourrie, my Aid de-Camp, will deliver to your Lordship this dispatch, and the color "'taken from the enemy, and will he able to e,"Wc you any fui ther'particulars. 1 beg to lecoimnend ■ im to your Lordship. I enclose a return of prisoneis, in number 259, including the Governor, one Lieut.-Colonel, and 15 officers.
