The teenswr gun-brig came in — this afternoon three days from St. Andero, hating landed Capt. * An n yesterday at Torquay, who set off imme diately for London, With despatches of a most bril. tent Victory obtained by Lord WELLING-To' over MARNONT on the 22d ult. near Tom ; the result of which is stated to be as follows t-12,000 of the ene my killed, wounded and prisoners, 8,000 troop, batt, and artillery horses and mules, killed and taken, 25 pieces of cannon taken, 6 crack Regiments of the ene , say annihilated, 8 Eagles and Standards taken, and Generals BONNET and CARRIERE wounded and pri soners. “ The loss of the Allies in killed, wounded, and missing, is stated at 2,700 men. It is stated, that Lord Watmarou bad made a feint of marching to wards Madrid ; upon which MARMONT, who had been reinforced from Madrid, ice. crossed the Douro with the intention of falling upon his Hank and rear $ but that Lord WELLINGTON, who had also been reinforced by a strong Spanish corps, unknown to MARMONT, manceuvred so admirably as to cut off his return over the Douro. The battle lasted the *hole of the 22d, and was most sanguinary. The Spa niards and Portuguese are said to have fought with admirable spirit and firmness, and to have suffered the most. The British were invincible. Such are the accounts I have received from the Officers of the ISOLENT. They may not prove altogether correct Ina the details ; but you may depend upon it, the Pktrey is a most brilliant and decisive one.” %SILICA, AVOUST 9.

The accounts received by GoVeturnent &en the Baltic, (to which we alluded on Saturday) were in the form of despatches from Admiral Meaux, dated off Riga, on the 17th ultimo. They state s that the three successful actions in which the French were re pulsed, were fought on the 11th; 12th, and 13th ult. The French attacks were said to have been shade upon the Russian tetu-duliont, which defend the passage of ‘, the Dwina, and the assailants are said to have lost 1100 men. If the report of the same evetits which reached Gottenburgh, were received through a chan-1 nel different from that which conveyed Admiral MAarnes despatc h, we are strongly inclined to be- It lieve the original a c c ount to b e correct. From the t subjoined Russian Bulletin, It appears that it is at their entrenched camp at Drissa, or rather Driema, a town situated at the confluence of the Dwina and the Driesna, that the Russians intend to Make their great stand. Dunaburg Where the? have another entrenched camp, is farther down the Dwina. We are unable to state precisely, the situation of Prince BAGRATION'S army—the French boast of having driven him across the Beryathenes, bat yob have no dottbt, that be will again make his appearance to the . 'Mow, as he has been ordered to attack the enemy. The French have entered Mittati, where they found some cannon : the nextenterprite of that division of their army, which is commanded, we believe, by MACDONALD, will be Riga. Some of the letters mention that an action had been fought at Mittau ; but we are inclined to think. that the Russians had, as usual, evacuated it on the approach of the enemy. In the letters from Peters burgh, the Russian force is estimated at 495,000. We fear that this is an exaggeration. RUSSIAN BULLETIN. ." Head-Quarters, Janitschy, June VI, 0. S. (July 9.) " AU the corps cf the first army have already joined, and retire tomorrow to the fortified camp at Drissa, on the Dwina. Our troops have borne the difficulties attendent on marching with the patience peculiar to them. The enemy has been disappointed in his endeavours to cut off any of the corps which form the first army, as well as in his attempt to sur round our right wing. The principal force of the enemy is at present directed against our left, in order to place themselves between the first and second army. Prince Bagration has received orders to at tack the enemy's corps opposed to him. Move ments have been made in the first. army to this ef fect.—Since the trifling skirmishes at the passage of the Disna, our rear-guard has not had any serious at tack to repel."

LOCKYER, ate fitting for foreign service, to form part of Sit. JOHN'S squadron. By the GRAMPUS, arrived at Portsmouth, which left Cadiz on the 18th ult. we learn that an unsuc cessful attempt has been made by the boats of the TUSCAN and ENCOUNTER to CUt out some vessels from St. Lucar, when, from insuperable obstacles, which no degree of bravery could overcome, only one ves sel (a boat without 4uns) was captured, whilst the ENCOUNTER, Lieut. '1 AL . BOT, was taken by the enemy, first Lieutenant of the TUSCAN badly wounded, and about 55 men killed and wounded. Lieut. Taimyr, and his surviving officers and crew, had been ex changed. The ALFRED, 74 guns, Captain Howrou, sailed from Cadiz on the 11th ultimo, and has since arrived in the Downs, with two Spanish vessels under convoy. _ A letter, dated the 50th tilt. from an Officer be longing to the squadron under Sir H. Popham, gives the following account of the result of an attack upon Santander :••• 11 On the 22d and 24th they got some guns upon a rock, without musket-shot of a four-gun battery. The ships then went against it. The Rhin got one man killed, one severely wounded, and two slightly.' The Insolent had two killed and two wounded. The Venerable had her maintop-mast shot through. A party of men from the Rhin succeeded , in planting two 24-pounders upon the rock, and play ed upon the batteries. By the 27th, two of the ene my's glans were disabled; and General Porlier having sent forward his advanced guard, it was With 80 men from the Medusa and Venerable. With this force the General was to attack the town in the rear, while the Rhin in the front, with two other frigates and three brigs, passed the battery, and kept up a heavy fire, without a single shot received on our part. The enemy ran, and Sir G. Collier, thinking that General Porlier was attacking the town, led into its front, but was beat back. The French had received reinforcements ; they were stated at 800, but they proved to be in fact 4000. We are sorry to state, that Sir G. Collier, and Captains Lake and Malcolm were wounded in this affair."
