ded in the Gazette, by a royal
decree abolifhtng a kind of poll
tax called clpcrfonel, all over
Catalonia, as a reward for the
loyal exertions of all the inha

a difgraceful badge of lervitude

PHILADELPHIA, Oct-a.
Arrived yesterday at this port,
the brig General Eaton, from St
Lh®*> sailed the loih August.
The captain of the above vessel
j inform* that no official account of
| the battle of the 27th and 28ih July
; had arrived in Portugal before he
j sailed—although sufficient time
! I'" 1 •lapsed. By all t h e privatß
letters received at St. Übes from
Spain, it appears the English army
had suffered much—the whole of
tho advanced guard having been cut
up, previous to the general engage
ment, and sir A. Wellesley had to
make tus escape to the main'body
"1 the army by flight, accompanied
uy a taw horsemen.
The loss on the p-trt of the Bri
tish was understood to be at least
10,000 men exclusive of officers ;
having been driven from ail their
positions, except that occupied by
toe artillery. This news dare not
to be published at St. Übes—and
"a* related to informant by the
British consul at that place.
I lie English (as usual) and their
friends the Portuguese, have laid
all die blame upoinlie poor Span
iards—they say the Spaniards did
not arrive at the field of battle un
til the second day of the action—-
and when they did arrive, expres
sed some unwillingness to occupy
the positions their EnglishJritnds
had assigned them.

No one, who proftfTesto Ca ■ c
