I THE MNING LONDON. MONDAY JUNE WWI? MONDAT.HOIidiIy at all the l'ablie Office,. LRILLIANT VICTORY IN PORTUGAL.. In a part of our impression of Saturday we stated the arrival of a telegraphic confirmation of the vic tory obtained by Marshal Bsassroan, on the 18th, and we have now the satisfaction to announce tha ar ; rival of the official dispatches. They were Nought by Colonel ARBUTHNOT. Aide•de-Carnp to Marshal 32assrORD. and brother of Mr. AIIitUTHNOT, of the Treasury, who arrived at the War-Office yesterday afternoon about five o'clock. The Park and Tower guns fired about 8 o'clock, in honour of the occasion, and the following Letter W 25 transmitted to the LORD MAYOR : " Downing-street, June 2. dg MT Loan—Dispatches have been received from Lieutenant General Lord WELLINGIVN, dated Elvas, May 22, inclosing two reports of the operationtoof the allied army under Marshal BERIATORD. " In the Utter Sir W. BERWORD gives an abcoust of the attack of the allied armies, at Albuera, on the 16th of May, by the French, under Marshal Som./. ; in which, niter a most sanguinary contest, the enemy were defeated, having five Generals killed, or since dead of their wounds ; 2000 rank and file dead on the field of battle ; and from 900 to 1000 prisoners, "It appears, by a letter intercepted after the battle, that the French estimated their loss upon the whole as nearer 9000 than 8000. " It is with the greatest concern that T am under the necessity of adding, that the loss of the allied armies upon this occasion has been most severe—that of the British consisting of nearly 900 killed, 2732 wrianded, and 554 missing. 'I lie Portuguese loss amounts to about 600 in killed, wounded, and mis sing ; the Spanish loss is not ascertained, but is sup. posed to be about 160(1. a Marshal BER ESPORD speaks in the highest terms of the incomparable conduct of every part of the Bri tish army, adding, that he did not knew an individual who did not upon this occasion do his duty. He represents the Portuguese as having marten used in the face of the enemy with a steadiness and ability not inferior to the British. He commends in the strongest manner the bravery and gallant conduct of the Spanish troops, and expresses his obligations to Generals BLAILE and CAWCANOS for the assistance which he received from_ diem throughout the whole of this arduous contest. a The enemy retired after the batik to the ground which he had previously occupied. On the night of the 17th, he commenced his retreat on the road towards Seville, and abandoned Badajoz to its fate. I have the, honour to remain, itc. (Signed) " LIVERPOOL."

It took place on. the 16th ult. anllasted eight hour:. There was 'a heavy raid during the whole time of the action which was very unfavourable to thiallies. The allied army consisted of 8000 Spaniards on the right s ;- 8000 British in the centre ; and 7000 Portuguese on the left. - The French consisted ofwbout 30,000 men. . - " The French attacked the centre with two divi sions of inf,intry, supported by a division of cavalry, and an immense park of artillery after a great deal of hard fighting, they were repulied. • " They then Directed their principal Worts against the right, consisting of the Spaniiids, sithiCtr * tvd by two British Regiments, Bnffs and '576, and were Ihere repulsed. " The Spatsiards fought most nobly, they neither gave or received quarter. The Buffs, 7th and 57th, were almost all killed and wounded, including the Officers. 4. A Portuguese brigade, under Colonel HARVEY, behaved most nobly, and were particularly noticed for their steadiness, when deploying into line to re. iceive a column of the enemy, which was advancing to the attack. - - " Our total loss consisted of 4500 men, British, among whom are 235 officers. " The enemy, as near as could be collected, lost lat kat: 10,000 men. " After the battle, they retreated to Seville, aban doning all their wounded, and the greatest part of their artillery, which was immense, equal to WEL LINGTON'S Or BERESFoRD'S. ig General COLE, and every officer of his Staff . are wounded; Captain ROVEREA, one of his Aides-du- Camp, is since dead. Istirstial BERESFORD had two horses killed under him ; and only one of his Staff escaped being personally wounded or losing his horse. " The French lost three Generals killed ; four wounded, two of whom are since dead. 111.trshal BERESFORD'S head-quarters, on the ‘22J, were at Almecialcjo, where he was joined on the 2l . st by Lord WELLINGTON, with two divisions of his army, and were proceeding to follow the remains of the French army. 64 Badajos was expected to fail in a few days, as Marshal ISEnesFonn had 4invested it, it having been abandoned during , the action.

The loss of the enemy, though 1 cannot know what it is, must be ttill more severe. He has left on the field of bat tle two thousand dead, and we have taken from 900 to 10(X) prisoners. He has had five Gene ,inds killed and, wounded I of thn . retorter Generals of tlivisiions WERLE and 11;:tsr; and GAZAM and two others amongst the latter. His force was much more considerable than we }—td been informed of, as I da not think he displayed less than from '2O to '22,000 infantry, and he certainly bad 4000 cavalry with a numerous and heavy artillery. His overbearing ca. valry.cramped and confined all our operations, and with his artillery saved4sis infantry, after its route.— He retire) after the battle to the ground he had been previously on, but occupying it in position; and on this morning, or rather during ihenight, commenced' his retreat on the road he came, toWirds Seville, and has abandoned Badajoa to its 'fate.

His MAJEsIY continued much the same throughout yesterday. His Royal Highness the Putsca RLC,SNT went down to Windsor early yesterday morning, on a v kit to the QUEEN and . PIUNCeaSSS, and did not return to Carlton.hcuse till late in the evening. The preparations for the Grand Gala Ball and Supper at Carlton House, en the 12th instant, are not dk‘continued. in the hope that the state of INS MA. Jorrir:s health may not render it necessary to relit'. finish altogether the patriotic intention of his ROYAL Hronaesa. The Cabinet Dinners of the several Mi nisters, in honour of the KiNia's Birth-day, have, how ever, been also postponed to the 13th instant, from the same unavoidable reasons. Mr. R. DUNDAS, now Viscount MELyttrt, left town for Edinburgh at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon. Of the regiments who suffered severely in Marshal %REWORD'S action, the 2d battalion of the 7th Foot, the Royal Fuziliers, suffered the most; not one offi cer in the battalion who was not either killed or wounded : the first battalion of this fine regiment likewise suffered most severely. Our lass would have been much less in this action than it was, and our success might have been followed up to the annihila tion of the enemy, if we had had cavalry there: We understand that the cavalry regiments who were Or dered far the Prince's review, all of whom are in the highest order, will be immediately sent to Portugal, as well as several (Vier regiments of this description of force : among them—the Ist Dragoon Guards, the Scots Greys, the 4th or Irish Dragoons, the Inniskil ling Dragoons, the Carabiniers, the 9th Light Dra goons, the remainder of the 12t1i ditto, and the Bays, commanded by that able officer Lord G. BERESFORB. —Every measure will be taken to hasten the march of the Militia going to Ireland ; and then the 6th, 20th, 76th, and every regiment of the line in Ireland, with all those of the Getman Legion, will be imme diately sent to Portugal. HAL! th:s been done earlier, a blow might have been struck which would before this time have terminated the contest there. Upwards of 400 of the Ist Foot Guards (3d bat talion) embarked on Thursday, at Portsmouth, un 'board the Leopard, Captain Dru.ort, which sailed on Friday for Cadiz. Thursday, 500 of the Ist battalion 60th regiment embarked on board the Lord Castlere4h, Upton Castle, and Portsea East India country ships, for the Cape of Good Hope. The remainder of the regiment will embark as, soon as the two other ships are ready Ito receive them. . Among the regiments immediately to proceed to Portugal, from England, Jersey or Guernsey, are— lir brigade of Foot Guards, the 2J battalion 18th or Royal . Irish, 2d battalion 45th, Ist ditto 32d, 68th Light Infantry, and of the 77th Regiment 400. LEOPARD, 50 guns, having the Guards on board for General GRAHAM'S army, has sailed for Cadiz. This body is commanded by Colonels CAPEL .and LAMBERT. Last week that fine regiment, the.6Bth Light In fantry, commanded by Colonel JOHNSTONE, was re. viewed by General EIu,KINE, who expressed his highest approbation at their perfect good order, equipment, and appearance. This day they marched for Ports mouth, to embark for Lord WELLINGTON'S army. Thursday last the 75th Regiment, commanded by Colonel Swtsrow, sailed for Jersey. Very strong drafts for the 43d Light Infantry, and 71st Light Infantry (Highland Regiment) will in a few days be embarked for Portugal. Among others to be immediately embarked for Portugal at Portsmouth, are 23 ordnance waggons, with a force of artillery.
