This position was unfavburable, ' as Tude la, the right, and the-advanced part of the position, was commanded by heights, and was indefensible. ;! The French took advantage of this crrour, and having col lected an army of 45,000men, commenc ed their attack org the Spanish rights on the 23dv and defeated two divisions of Valenciens and furcians, who retreated whh considerable loss towards Saragossa e December 15. fVe hayeTtt length received the French ofEcial details of the late action in Spain ; they are contained in eight additional bul letins, from the 5th to the 12th inclusive. iThey are not so unfavourable to the Spanish cause as vre had been led to ex pect by the previous reports. The Moni- tenrs come down to the ntn uisu dui me 12th bulletin is in that of 6th, and the pa persof the7th 8th, 9th and 10th, do not contain one word of news respecting Spain. We may therefore presume, that the French did not obtain any important advantage after the victory over Geh Castanos. With respect to that battle, the French by no means claim so complete a victory as we were told they had gained. ,1 he bul letins states, that the action took place on the 23d ult. at Tudela. It commenced at at 9 o'clock in the morning, and endd m W$hrledigif$ -ate dehaicd :y the te'rni lahWhangers.r ByVirfimirc of the millthc situation ot our country' under the vffvrciivn-arfne Tnaartrvjs "wett aescrioca.

SIMPSON, the complete defeat of the Spanish army, of which 3500, including 300 officers, were taken prisoners, and 4000 were left cn tne held ot battle, or driven into tne bfo. The remainder of the defeated army were pursued by the! French caval ry, part in the direction of Saragossa and part in the direction of Agreda and Tar racona, on the frontiers of Arragon. The pursuit: was continued to the 25th inclusive on which day a division di French caval- xy arrived at Koa. i neiiumDer oi pri soners taken in the interval, between that and the 23dv amounted we are told, to 5CKX), all of the line, with 30 pieces of artillery No Quarter was jnven to the armed peasants. The French, according to their own account, lost very lew pen in this affair . I It does-not appear, that though defeat ed the Span iards were dia&eraed-i on the contrary,' the bulletin states, that tlu'y had retreated upon Sara gossa. Anotheristrong proof, (if any additional proof wer want ing) that Castanos's army is not annihilate ed, is, , that the French, notwithstanding their victory, have not ventured to ad vance very far . The battle was fought, as we have stated, near Tudela, and the last bulletin is dated the 28th ult. at Arandav de Duero, which is in Old Castile, about 43 miles to the S. E. of Valladolid. The account, therefore of the French Raving entered Madrid, is unfounded ; they have not even reached the frontiers of New Castile. The bulletin, however, boasts it is onlv a nleasaiit walk. The French Gen erals particularly engaged in the action were the Duke of Montebello, (Lannes; and the Duke of Cornegliano, YMancey). Had the division of the Duke of Elchin, (Gen. Ney) jeen in its position, it is said, not a Spaniard would have, escaped. I he bulletins, previous to the 11th, relate chief ly to the operation against lilakrs army. The French force that defeated it, consist ed chiefly of thedivisiom of the Duke of Isellunp (yictor) Duke or Dalmatia, (Soult) and the Duke of Dantzick, (Le febvre.) . . ,'' . ,t Respecting, the Britiih troops, these pa per? fiirnish but nttle jntelligence.

We are happy 6 find that the reverses which the Spanish armies have sustained, so far from excit ing a feeling of despondency have only stimulated that gallant people to greater exertions, and to more determined resistance. The inhabitants of Madrid were mak ing every possible preparation to defend the capital to tht last extremity. ! I his de termination on the part of the Spaniards, and the junction of the corps command ed by general Hope to the army of Sir John iuoore, wmcn tooK piacc gn wic v inst. at Salamanca, had induced the latter to send orders to Sir David Baird to ad- vancc. znis oraer, wc v"uswuu, received by Sir David on -the 7th.

Buona parte was at Aranda de Dohdra ; his ad vanced corps had made itself master of Soma Sierra, and a: french corps had reached Segovia." Subsequent accounts from Saragdssay ot the 24thf state, that the Arragonese and Andalusian divisions drdnot suffer much, and had been able to retire in order, which is confirmed by the French accounts. The precise route taken by Gen. Casta- ncs s army is not given, oaragossa was to be defended by 15,000 men. - (Jen.
