London, Dec. 17.
Capitulation of Mddifd—Entrance of
the French army into that city.
By the flag of truce which re
turned hfl: evening to Dover, with,
Mr. Shaw, the meffengsr on board,
we have received Paris papers to
:hs 15th inflant. Their contents
are ot great importance. The city
of Madrid has capitulated, the
French troops entered on the 4th
inft. at noon, This intelligence is
dated from the French camp at
Madrid, and is officially announced
in the Moniteurs of the 13th and
14th. So far back as Thurfday,
the Bth inflant, we announced, the.
advance of a French corps of 3cco
men to Somofierra, a town about
40 miles north of Madrid. For
this information we had official in
telligence. It was announced in a
proclamation, addreffed by the Su
preme Junta ro the people of Spain,
and particularly thofe of Madrid,
recommending the conduit which
they Ought to obferve under thefe
circum(lances. This proclamation
was ci.ved from the royal palace of
Atai.ju!or’ the 2 rff uit. and con
fequt!*” ve may prefume that the
firff appe.imoce of the enemy at So
mofierra 1 ■> k place about the ifth
or 19th. What became of th's
corps is not mentioned. It was
probably pufiied rapidly forward*
(or the ptirpofe of alarming the
towntry, a manoevre - often pradlifed
by the 1* rench with fuccefs. If fuch
was the cafe, it probably retreated
as far as it advanced. That a large
portion of the enemy had not ad
vanced io far at that date, we may
prefume, as the defeat of the force
under Cailanos upon the Ebro did
not take place until the 23d. The
details of the approach of the French
to Madrid are contained in the 13th
bulletin, dated st. Martin, the id
inft. It dates, that oh the 30th
ult. the t duke of Bclkmo (marfhal
Yidtor) arrived at Sopiofierra with
a corps of -13,000 men, when he
found the Spaniards fin a flrong
poff, defended, by 16 pieces of
cannon. Here, however, as in the
battle of Tucieia, the French deri
ved great advantage from > their
Cavairy. A - charge made by the
Eolith light horfe decided the day,
and the Spaniards fufUiried a total
. de.fasJ*. Bo.sr.p'Lpti’* m tH* folH**- 7
ing day, the ift. of-December, re
moved his head-quarters to Sc.Aii
guffin, and'on the next to Sc. Mar
tin,on which day the duke oflftria,
with his-cavalry, took pofTiffion’ of
the heights which command Mad- :
rid, and die infantry ■ were expected
to, arrive on the 3d. Here the
13th bulletin ends; bin, a? we
have already Traced, the Moniteurs
add, that the town capitu- tted, and
v/as entered by the French on the
4 r h. The proclamation of the fu
preme junta, to which we have al
luded, farther Rated, chat the polls
of Guadarrama and Efcurial, be
tween Somofierra and Madrid, were
ilrongly fortified and would make a
foirnidable refinance. As the 13th
bulletin, however, dpes not notice
any a&ion fubfequent to that of So
rhofierra, it is probable the French
did not advance on that line, bet
proceeded foutheafe, in a circuitous
route by Eutrifgo. Of the Span
ifii force at Guadarrama and Sfcu
ria! there is no notice, ncr are the
Engllfn armies once mentioned.
We have extracted from the
Moniteurs an article from Copen
hagen, which Rates that Mr. Adair
has failed in his miifion to the fub
lime porte.
