FU RTHER SUCCESSE S , OF MARQUIS WELLINGTON. • REpoRTED CAPTUIE Or 40SEPH BONA 'MITE AND 1118 ARMY. ' T he l ates t ? Pal integigiiiti from our victorious soar has been received thrOugh the medium of Sir HOW POPHAM, and will be found in our extricts f ro m the .Gazette of last night i d correct abstract of if was given in the STAR of yesterday. But we have r eceived still more gratifying itkielligence this morn ing, through the medium of but private correspon dence, which we have no doUbt a few hours will officially confirmb A division of the allied army, tent forward front Cuellar, in the direction of Penntilel, has intercepted JOSEPH BONAPAETE and an army of 7000 men, all of whom were taken prisoners. The information we have ttow ibinmunicated rests on the authority of the passengers by a vessel arrived at Plymouth from St. Andero. They left the coast of Spain on the 11th instant, beittg two days subse. quent to the date of Sir HOME POPEIAM'S dispatches. The Prince Ernest packet has also arrived at Fal mouth from the Peninsula ; but the letters from Sa. larnanca are dated on the 30th ultimo, three days previous to Marquis WELLINGTON'S advance to Cuel lar. They inform us, that at that date the number of the enemy killed, wounded, and taken prisoners, bad been aseettained with tolerable accuracy, and amounted to 22,000.—The same letters add, that tise shattered remains of Marmont's Army arc re stating in the direction cf Bayonne, and not of Ma kW; as was at first supposed, and as the Portuguese iournals have asserted. , We refer our Readers to our private correspon dence, for more ample details respecting-the late glo rious victory. In the mean time, we cannot help thinking that the loss of the enemy has been even greater than above represented. Of the fugitives, many more must have fallen, or been captured ; and even of the last wretched re ;slain, it now begins to appear doubtful whether any will finally escape,—such is the activity of the Gue rilla parties in the districts to which they are flying' ad the energy of the great enemy in their rear' The news of chief moment must, therefore, now be expected from the other parts of Spain,—from Mar shal Som. and General HiLL ; and between these Generals affairs seer.i to be hastening to the crisis of a battle. Let but the genius of a WELLINGTON pre side in thescouncils of his substitute,—let the result of the conflict, which may ere now have taken place in the plains cf Estremadura, be similar to that on the banks of the Tormes, and the miseries which have been inflicted on the unoffending inhabitants of the peninsula, will be retorted on the heads of their per. tecutorsa Spain will become the avenger, instead of the sufferer : no Frenchman will remain therein, but u the victim of punishment or the subject of captivity. Wlemon, AuGusr 18.a;mThe Princess SOPHIA is 'little better, but not sufficiently recovered to ride out, One town was last night generally and brilli antly illuminated, in hpnour of the signal victory of the Earl of WetaastGrox and thp Duke of YORK'S birth-day.

I Yesterday morning the PRINCE RWENT i accompa. fiedby the Dukes ofaantwatandeustlicitLAND, and Colonel lkomariELD, left town on a visit to the Earl of EGMONT. Yesterday the Duke of YORK held a Military Le 'lt, at his Office in the Horse Guards. Lord atta r* was among those who attended to pay their per sonal respects to the Commander in Chief. His Lordship was most graciously received by his Royal Highness and the Duke of - CAnianinor., who was present at the time.

Yesterday Lord SIDNIOUTFE gage a grand entertain ment to all the Cabinet Ministers, and a large party of Nobl emen and Gentlemen, at his house in Rich mend Park. Yesterday Mr. WELLEsLET POLE LONG gave a most agnificent entertainment at Wanstead House, in honour of the grand victory obtained by the Allied Army over the French at Salamanca. Lady WELMoToN received letters last evening, erected to the Marchioness WELLINGTON. Her sons daughters are now all Lords and Ladies by foonesy.

Ad/UN/31'4HE FRENCH; A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this Morning. It brings advice! from the Riissian army to the sth. init. at which period no great battle had been fought. The Russian head-quartets Were then at VeliiieLcb,ly, about 60 miles directly North from Witepsk i where the last French Bulleiin left them. The Russians are apparently retreating upon Sta-1 raia Russa, in the province of Novogorod, where they will probably make a stand. Their line of re-' treat is now directed• Northward upon St. Peters burgh, and not upon Moscow, which is situated al most in a direct line westward from Witepsk. —The Cossacks under PLATO!? have been again at work, and have cut to pieces seven more French regiments of catalry. The lost of the enemy was stated to have been 12,000 on this occasion. This number may be exaggerated, but we have no reason to doubt the general fact, for the Cossacks give no quarter; and now that the French and their mot ley hordes of modern Vandals have crossed the Dwina, and entered the heart of Russia, we see no good reason for altering their system: Let the Rus sians commence a Guerilla warfare like the Spaniards, and they will save their country. It is time that the nations who are opposed to the ruffians and slaves whom BONAPARTE brings into the field, should shake off the old morality, which in the days of chivalry gave life and liberty to the captives taken in battle. Peace with Spain, Portugal, and Great Britain, has been publicly proclaithed at St. Petersburgh, and there are some hopes held oat) that Denmark will join in the Grand Northern Confederacy against France. An alarm, it would appear, was excited at Copenhagen, lest the Swedish armament was intended fur the invasion of Zealand, but BERNADOTTE sent a civil message to the Danes, to quiet iheir apprehen sions. We may expect to hear of some change in the fatal line of policy lately adopted by Denmark. The following are the most interesting articles of intelligence in the Swedish Papers : " ST. PETERSBURGII, JULY 21, (AOC. 4.) 44 The Minister at War, and Commander in Chief of the first Western Army has, on the 25th June, sent the following letter to the Minister of the Interior: " At length I can, for the satisfaction of the public, boldly usure y9u, Sir, that our Troops in the West are in the most excellent state. They are all well provide; all in high %irks, and burn with ardour to attack our inveterate enemy. " On the whole, every thing has hitherto been favourable to our wishes, and with relianze on GOD and our brave Warriors, we have not the least cause to doubt the happy progress of our arms.. "The Minister at War has,togethet with this letter, transmitted the Orders by him given to the first Western Army, of the following contents : oo By a sudden and forcible inroad over our bor der, the enemy had hoped, with his columns, to cut off, by small parties, our forces, which were assembled at sundry places to the distance of 800 wersts, and in suck manner destroy and separate corps, and there fore at one blow accomplish his plunderous intent. gg It is only by such means, so contrary as it is to the usage of nations, that he has been able to conquer several armies, and lay other States tinder his power, who, relying on a general observance of this holy law, have all been deceived. Notwithstanding the violence of his attacks against our armies, he has not made his wished for progress. All the detached corps have, by quick anerpreper movements, accom plished their march to a general place of junction.— There will now be no further hindrance in our way. Soon will you, valiant warriors, be joined, and with 'united force oppose yourselves to an enemy who has dared to disturb your repose ; and if he, weakened by fruitless attacks and innumerable wants, should seek to avoid' n action, we will victoriously attack him, and, with the assistance of the MOLT JUST Con, and of all those whom he has unjustly treated, be re venged on him. The step is already taken. Yes , terday the rear guard of the First Western Army I repulsed the attacks of•the enemy's van guard, three times its own force, and obliged it, with considerable loss of men, to shelter itself, and seek safety in the woods. This valour will be rewarded by the Mo narch's gratitude. May this example prove of ge neral influence, and then we shall assuredly conquer." tITRACT OP A LETTER PROM WELIRU LOUKI, DATED JULY 22,—( AUG UST 5.) go A. Treaty of Peace and Amity has within these few days been signed at this place, between Russia and Spain. the Emperor acknowledges the present Government, in the name of King Ferdinand VII. for the management cf affairs. " Reservation is made of future measures to he taken concerning such alliance, as with regard to France may be a consequence of this treaty. ritraaer OP ANOTHER LETTER PROM THE SAME PLACE AND OP THE SAML DATEa •' We have just received the information, that Ge rural Platow has obtained fresh advantages over the enemy. Seven Polish regiments of cavalry have been almost totally destroyed. Thirty Officers and up wards of 500 men, were taken in this affair." " PALTIIINa f JULY 16.
