Among the latter is one of the French Commanding Generals. The enemy also lost twenty pieces of cannon, a number of eagles, and a considerable quantity of ammunition and baggage.

SMITH had an audience, on Saturday, with Lord.MuLrirtavr, at the Admiralty, on his return from the Brazils, and afterwards dined with his Lordship. We are concerned to state,, that the gallant Admiral does not appear in very good health. He sailed from Rio Janeiro on the 21st of June, in the DIANA frigate, with Capt. DaviE, his Flag Captairi, who is returned along with him. His departure from the Brazils was greatly regretted. The Prince of the BRAZILS shed tears on taking leave lof him. The Hon. Admiral' De c9pacv has sue 7 eeededbirn in the command on that *station, aadlas 4replayed th&ships of his squadron in the following manneh—The FOUDROYA,NT, 80, (fiag-ship) Capt 1 Hatccock ; ELIZABETH, 74, Hon.

FABIAN ; • MIISEL t•TOF. and NANCY brigs had sailed for the River Plate, ! it, being apprehended that' the Rochefort squadron ' were 'n' ' "one 'there. The Pa ESIDEN•r and' HAYCINTII were .gone on a four-months cruize, between the Rivet- Plate and the Cape of Good Hope. . The STEADY was at Buenos Ayres, taking dollars on - board 'fur Rio de Janeiro, belonging to British merchants. -The CILEARLY was in the River Plate. The LIGHT NING was , gone to Para, in the River Amazon ; and Ole CONFIANCE was refitting at Rio de Janeiro. It was daily expected that LINTERS would open'thc ports in: the. Riielt • Plate to British merchandize, at a chity Of 4; l 2l:per °eat. ad valorem, the same as is imposed -upoti all :loads imported into the Brazils ; for, ee l., ' cordinglo;the present state of things, the OffiCers -of die Custom-houses reaped the principal advantages , ' from the' goods now sold in the South American markets, oh which there were considerable qnaritities, and which.they allowed to be clandestinely landed.— The BRILLIANT, Captain SMITII, had sailed with a convoy for En.glind. Marshal BERESTORD is coming home from Portugal and Sir J. CRADDOCK from Gibral t ar. • Saturday dispatches from the Baltic were received from Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ. They bring an account of a successful attack upon Archangel, where the Ihrtunace adventurers have succeeded in taking pos session of about 100 ships in the harbour, laden with tallow and other valuable commodities. The public accounts mention, that Sir JAMES SAUMARSZ, with the squadron under his orders, had appeared off Cron stadt, and that an embargo was therefore imposed in all the Russian ports of the Baltic. Friday evening, the Aeons sloop of war, Captain STUART, arrived at the Motherbank, from Gibraltar and Cadiz. She left Gibraltar cm the.loth and Cadiz 'on the ilth ult. and brought dispatches from Lord COLLINGWOOD and Admiral. Pliltillf.• Teri sail of transports came under her convoy from Cadiz, with Merino sheep, for his MAJESTY, on board, viz. Aber deen, Montreal, Mary Alia; Williatri ) Thetis, George, Thornton, Apollo, Young 1-tentY,aand Cotton. They are all under quarantine. , ~ The following Officers have been promoted, for their distinguished services in Basque Roads : Capt. NEWCOMB, of the Beagle; Ca;)t. JOYCE, of the Redpole ; Capt. GODFREY, of the Etna; and Capt. CAULFIELD, of the Thunder, are promoted to he Post-Captains. I.ieuts. HQCIINGS, MCSTON, CARPENTER (of the Caledonia) ALEXANDER, NIXON, WEST, and CORESLEY, are promoted to Commanders. Mr. SHARSHOTT, signal -mate of the Caledonia, is promoted toa Lieu - enant. Since writing the above we have learnt the follow ing particulars relative to the action : The French army consisted of 44,000 men, of whom about 12,000 have been killed, wounded, or taken prisoners. Of the British troops 5,376 have been killed or wounded, cr are missing. :. Ottr whole force engaged was'only' itoul 19,000, The French . , under . ..Cenerali finTROAN and Vicront retreated On Olala,-"IdlOut 45 miles from Madrid. We are concerned to state that, besides the loss we have,alreaLly mentioned, our victory cost us the life 'of a brave and experienced Commander—General MACKINZIF, of the 78th. We have to lament also the loss of some other Va. likable Officers : among whom are Colonels Ross and Brnicer, of the Guards, and Colonol GORDON, of the .53d, killed ; Colonel LANGWORTII, of the German Legion, and others. Our whole loss in• Ofneerskilled and wounded, is nearly 100. The battle was fought at Talavera de 'la Reyna, whence the; dispatches in the Gazette were sent. The French were the assail ants, expecting, no doubt, from the quiet inoffensive disposition of CUESTA t that our troops would be left without support, and fall an easy prey to superior numbers: In their first hope they were not disap., pointed, but they were frustrated in their ultimate de sign by the unparalleled courage of our countrymen.. The contest lasted for two days—the 27th and 28th July, and terminated, as we have stated, in the com plete discomfiture of the enemy. - • General CIIAUYORD'S corps was expected to join Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY army in a day or two after the battle. Sir AaTIICIt mentions in his dispatches, that the grent disparity in point of numbers between the cent- - tending armies, prevented him from following up his victory with that vigour which in other circumstances would have enabled him to render his triumph still more complete. The Park and Tower Guns were fired this after , noon, at two o'clock, in consequence of Sir A. W.F.J.- LISLEY'S Victory. _ Since writing the above, we have been favoured with the following additional particulars : • • Captain WOOLORIDGE, who so nobly led in the The French having been strongly reinforced, drove mediator, to break the boom at Basque Roads, is in Major-General 114‘KENZIE, and the advanced appointed to the command of a fine new frigate fitting guard, to Talavera.
