SPANISH OFFICIAL ACCOUNT,
Of the retreat of the Spar.ijh forces out if
Rouftllon.
[Translated for the General Adverser]
From a Madrid Gazette of May 13,
received at New-York, by the (hip
Columbus in 53 days from Cadiz.
MADRID, May 13.
Ext raft of a letter from Count de
L'Union, commander in chief of
the Roulillon aimy, to his excellency
the Duke d'Alcudia, dated Figuc
ras, May 3, communicating the par
ticulars of hi* retreat from Roulil
lon, in which his talents, .military
science, his activity and piefence of
mir.d have (hone conspicuously.
In my letter of yesterday, I commu
nicated to you an account of two at
tacks, which took place and which we
repelled gloriqi'.fly on the 28th and 29th
of last month ; of the formidable for.
ces, with which the enemy appeared to
intend renewing it, and that in a coun
cil of the generals a retreat was unani
mously determined on.
But the enemy having attacked arid
carried this morning the post of la
Tiompette, commanded by Generals
Prince of Monforte and Don Alphonfo
de Arias, it became indifpenfible to has
ten it the moment 1 received advice of
it at Ceret, to avoid the army's being
cut off. We succeeded, notwithstand
ing tlie extent of ten leagues to eover,
in effecting it with incredible celerity.
tr ordered that from the bridge of
Ceret, Unto Murallas, ttrt-(Tiouia
from-d toiUon TO-COVer the tra'nfportati- >
on of the artillery and camp equipage,
which p-.ifling by the fear divinon was
to take the on'ly narrow pafsof Mural
las, at the foot of the Pyrenees, bor
dering on Roufillon. 1 also made pro
per ariangements to attack and take the
neceffi.ry pottt, and drive the enemy,
colt what it might, as often as they j
fhoujil be found 011 our line of march or j
on the road of the defile of Portel ;
having given the command of the right
or van-guard to Generals Marquis de las
Amarillas, Baron de Keflel, and Don
D. Izqnier.do ; that of the centre, com
pofcd of Porttigucfe troops to Field
marshals Don A. Noronha and Don F.
Noronha ; and that of the left of rear
guard to Lieut. Gen. Don Pedro Men
dinueta, and to Field Marshals Don Jof.
Moncanda and Count de Monino ; hav
ing kept with me the Quarter-mallei
Don Thomas <3o T til.* Gowiinaiid
ant of artillery Don Joseph Autran and
the chief engineer Don Antonio So
pena-
It is indubitable that this plan of re
treat would 1 have made all fafe, had it
not been for the cowardice of the driv
ers, who cut their tracts and either
took with them or let loose a number
of the mules, overturning the carria
ges, which formed so many obftru&i
ons in the road, no doubt to juftify
their conduit; and in this fitnation it
was neceflary to abandon the greatest
part of them [the artillery and maga
zines]. Such articles as could be trans
ported upon the backs of mules have
been saved ; the provisions were burnt,
the ammunition set lire to ; the sick
were saved, the military clielt also and
such of the samp equipage as had been
sent off before hand, as well as the ma- j
gazines of Junquera, and the remainder
of the Bellegarde artillery ; that of
Rosas is removing, as well as the hos
pitals and all that was in the lower part
of Lampeurdan.
I ordered, at the fame time the gar
risons of the heights of Vallefpir to re
treat by St. Laurent de Cerda and Ma
fanet, and rendezvous nt the foundry
of St. Laurent de la Muga, which was
Ikilfulfy" executed by the- Portuguese
Lieut. Gen. Don John Forbes.
The forces which defended the post
-of Boulo und the command of Field
Marshals Don John M. Vibes and Don
Ant. Cornell formed a junction with
those of Ceret, having been able to ef
fedt their retreat in part only through
Murallas, as I bad ordered, it being
the shortest route, and owing to
distance of the advanced polls a battali
on of Spam'lh guards, one of Bui go
and part of one of Valence were cut
off, though Vibes made every exertion
to prevent it.
Those three battalions were few in
number, and feme foldiei s having esca
ped, they may be reckoned at no mote
than 600 men taken prisoners. As it
was impoflible for mc to be at the re
treat of Tiompette, I eaelofe a copy of
the particulai3 which I received from
the commanding officer, Prince de Mon
fort.
I also gave orders to Field Marshal
Don Eugeneo NavaVo, who commanded
Argvles, Colioure, Port Vendre and
Bands to evacuate the fir it of those
pods in order to preserve the others,
d2w,
and to seize an earlv opportunity t« f cn d
by the aforementioned defile the 500
cavalry he had under him, with order*
to join me at St. Ferdinand de Fig Ut .
ras, before they were cut off. Thi»
jundlion was fuccefsfully effefied.
As soon as it shall be in my power I
shall fend an account of the killed
wounded and miffing.
I should be wanting in my duty it I
omitted making honorable mention of
the condudi of the generals, officers and
soldiers. His majelty may be allured
that I firmly believe it is impossible to
cxceed what was performed by f 0
a number of men, scattered over ttn
leagues of country, having but one road
to retreat by, and no other path but the
ciaggv keights of" the agaiMt
a numerous enemy, at an hour favorable
to the assailants (8 in the morning)
and the enemy within musket (hot at the
moment of retreat, besides the advanta
ges, by bye-paths, to cut the route by
which we were forced to proceed.
Lieut. Gen. Don P. Mendinufta and
Field Marshal Don Jn. Michael Vibes,
kept the enemy fuccefsfully in cheek
with the rear guard. Prince de Mont
forte and Don Alphonfo dc Marrias
who commanded at Trompette did their
utmOst to support the honor of the
King's arms, and their detachment
gave way to superior numbers only.
From the examination I made of the
defile of Portel I concluded, with the
other generals, that it was best to esta
blish a port theie. 1 only left there a
small detachment to protest the afTem
bling of the miffing, and observe the
enemy narrowly. 1 retired wfth the re
™,'mkr «xr''gtibwihoud of this
place ; under which for its proteffion as
well as to assemble the different corps,
organize them and give them some reft
I intend to encamp to.morrow.
That the King may be acquainted
with the piefent fituntion of his army,
in defending the 40 leagues of country
confined to its protection, I will (late to
) you in a few words that,from Aragon
■ to Vincn, we occupy the fame country
that the army did when I took the com
: mand of it—that at the foundary of St.
Ferdinand de la Mauga, defile of Por
* tel, Bellegarde, Efpolla, defile of Ba
nols and Rosas, I have eflablifhed poflj
with forces if not equal to the talk of
complete defence, at lead such as I could
dispose of, and that the remainder of
the army is here for the purposes afore
mentioned. So that the enemy are now
in Roufillon, and the King yet holds
there, Collioure, Port Vendre, Banok
and Bellegarde.
I KINGSTON, (Jam.) May 24.
The latest accounts from St. MarcV ,
ftate,'that the Spaniards have evacuated
the three patifhes they were recently in
pofftffion of in that neighborhood. It
may therefore be conjectured, their fu
ture operations will be confined to pla
ces adjoining the Cape.
It is reported, on what grounds we
know not, that the Spaniards are about
to relinquish all their late acquisitions it*

Extract of a letter from lieutenant J. C.
Searle, of the Liberty armed brig,
formerly on this llation,
" 1 do not think the naval history of
any country records a more miraculous
| escape than we had from the hands of
the enemy. About nine on Tucfday
night, the 18th «£_Ftibiuary > we fell m
with a frigate which proved to be French;
She out failed the Liberty, so that not
withstanding our utmost exertions, at
ten she was within half gun (hot of us,
; and commenced her fire, which at lii ft
had no effedt ; but at half past ten she
was within musket shot of us, and luff
ed tip, and discharged her whole bVoad
[ fide, which shot away our main top gal
lant haulvards, main top mast, fhiddmg
1 haulyards, and main top fail biaecs.
Although the shooting away the haul
-1 yards impeded us a little, the frigate le
; tarded her own cotirfe more materially
' by the fnjudiaious mode of luffing up
- At eleven she was again within musket
> shot, and repeated the fame meafitre
t carrying off with that broadside otfr
1- fore top braces, fore top gallant braces,
and fote top ftudd'.ng fail haulyards.
1 she then kept up a continual fire fr<
- her bow-chaces, which frequently !i>
? away parts of our running rigging,
damaged our fads. As we law the CM"
- et Lights a head, and I t HHijJpt there
( was a pofiibiKty of otir reaching t" em
1 before the enemy bad i:s V ' 'Y
much, particularly if she followed the
system- of luffing tip to bi ing her bwoiu -
1 fide to bear on us, in (lead of waning
1 till (lie got a-breafl, when she nrng t
i have funk us, I determined not to bung
to while I had a mast Handing. c
twelve, she was as n«*r as pistol l" ot >
