The moit anxious curiosity has been excited by the arrival of a sick person, who for several days has been in the Royal Palace of Dresden. On his ap proach to that capital, the carriage in which he was conveyed moved very slowly, and was attended by 800 cavalry. The road without the town was laid with dung covered with straw, and from the gate of the city, all the streets through which the procession passed were not only strewed with straw, but were again overlaid with cloth. The avenue to the palace, since this distinguished invalid became an in mate, has been closed, by iron chains, upon horses, carriages, and whatever could occasion the least noise. All the hours of the day French physicians of the highest repute are hastening to the Palace, and con tinue there for a considerable time. At the hours of public service in the churches, in order that the re. pose of this high personage may not be disturbed, the ringing of ti'e bells is strictly forbidden. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON.

By this conveyance we learn, that the immortal WELLINGTON is following up his glorious career with that promp titude and vigour which distinguishes him from every other General. His Lordship has left Pamplona in a state of siege —dispatched the Spanish army towards Bayonne, after the defeated fugitives of JOSEPH'S army, and the mounted Guerillas are said to have actually crossed the Pyrenees in full pursuit, or rather with a view of intercepting the enemy's retreat. Lord WELLINGTON himself has proceeded with the light division of his army towards Tudela de Ebro, with a view of giving battle to CLAUSEL, who, ac cording to his Lordship's dispatches from Irunzun, visited the neighbourhood of Vittoria on the 22d, but moved off for the Ebro, in quick time, when he heard ofthe discomfiture of the main army. CLALTSEL had with him one division of the Army of Portugal, and the only part of the Army of the North which was not engaged at Vittoria. His next object was, no doubt, to effect a junction with Sumer on the Ebro, probably at Saragossa ; but Lord IVELLINorotes rapid movements has no doubt frustrated his attempt. Smits? seems to be moving up the Ebro from Tarragona to meet CLAD. sat, and we trust that the repent of yesterday, which stated Tarragona to be in the possession of the Al :ies, is perfectly correct. The following are Extracts from the above Mail : " CORUNNA, JULY 3. By an extraordinary courier, who arrived here nght, we are informed, that on the 26th Lord ington's Head quarters were in Orcayen, near A letter from Valladolid, dated the 27th ultimo, that oar cavalry, under the orders of the Conde nne and Don Julian, were within 16 leagues of /ine. Yesterday, at six r. M. arrived, as a courier, an ish Gentleman, with letters for the Colonel of iitannic Majesty in this place, written half a ie from Pamplona. He states, that that city, rarrison of which consists only of I'2oo men, is ;ed ; that Lord Wellington is marching to Jaca, ie purpose of cutting off Suchet ; that Graham, :wo divisions united—and Senor Giron, with 'alician Army, were pursuing the French, who !ded towards Bayonne•; and that our troops had !d France: The courier from Castile has likewise arrived, , rings letters from Vittoria. Among other va riout intelligence the letters say, that OiFarrel had surrendered, that many of the French Party had been taken, and also that Barcelona was besieged.h BURCOB, JUNE 23. 44 We have received the glorious account of the complete route of the French two leagues from Vit. totia, by an officer belonging to General Castanos, who lead an hasty letter from Gerieral Giron. The writer, after stating some particulars of the battle which are well known, says, Murelkh divi sion performed prodigies of valour, setting an min ple to the Allies, although with the loss of 600 men, and he himself wounded, though not badly. Longa's division also acted admirably. Joseph, who com manded in this dance, fled from Vittoria on horseback, quarter of an hour before our troops entered, with the grand suite of two gens-d'armes. The English army continued its march, in the first place, upon Pamplona, pursuings by forced marches, the enemy; and our army of Gallicia, upon Irun' The letter adds, that Tarragona had been taken, and Valencia evacuated." " CARTHAGENA, JUNE ii. Senor Elio's army, and that under the Duke del Parque, which will together amount to about thirty thousand men, have met in the Kingdom of Valencia, as well as part of the Allied troops. These garrison all the castles of this place, as likewise Alicant. From the latter place an expedition lately sailed, consisting of 10,000 Spanish and English infantry, and 1500 horse. It is said they have disembarked between Tor. tosa and Tarragona, with eighteen pieces of battering artillery, and the same number of mountain pieces; ' in consequence of which it is evident that Valencia, if not already free from the enemy, must very soon be so—in short, all goes well. 44 JUNE 13.—The ent my, who formed the line in this kingdom, began to pass the Xuca: on the 6th. The combined army before mentioned disembarked in Venaroz, notwithstanding Suchet with 9000 at tempted to prevent it. On account of this and other reasons, it appears they are retiring upon Arragon. 46 JUNE 15.—T0-day Valencia must be free from the enemy, as three days ago the colours of the Duke del Parque's army arrived at St: Vicent, without the walls of that city. The allied army under Roche has also passed the Xucar." " REUS, (IN CATALUNA) JUNE 7. 44 Head quarters, Reus, 7th June, 1813." as Spaniards ! The Fort of San Felippe, near 13a-1 laquer, surrendered at nine in the morning of this day, to the division which besieged it, composed of two English and two Spanish divibiops 4:if this army. The garrison, consisting of about 115 men, with 17 pieces of artillery of different calibres, and a quan tity of effects of every decription, is in our power. " The General in Chief has the satisfaction of an nouncing to the Public this happy success of the com bined armies; the influence of which is of the greatest importance and consideration for future operations. (Signed) X. CAL:ANIS. The Corunna Papers estimate the loss of the French at from 50 to 60,000 men in the battle of the (21st. The dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON, received by the Corunna Mail of this morning, are dated at Irunzun, on the 28th ult. His Lordship was pre paring to follow up bis advantages, but no events of impoi tance are noticed, with the exception of a report that Tarragona had been occupied by Sir Jolts MGR.. RAY with the Expedition from Alicant. The report had reached Lord WELLINGTON through the G uerillas. The effects of the battle of Vittoria are now begin ning to be felt where no victory over the French arms has been seriously felt for many years. France her self is now convulsed with the blow, which the in vading army of Spain received OR the 2lst of June. Private letters from Paris are in town, dated on the sth instant ; at that time the total route and discom fiture ofiOSETII and his army was known throughout France, although no account of the disaster had been allowed to appear in the French Papers. ThLir silence had only magnified the public apprehensions ; and it was even reported, that the Spaniards had passed the Pyrenees, while their Allies (the English) were preparing auxiliary expeditions against the Sou thern Ports of France, which are nearly defenceless ! —Attempts were made by the Partisans of the Na poleon Dynasty to allay these terrors, by circulating with renewed confidence a report, which we in this country knew to be groundless, namely, that the Armistice has been prolonged for two months, and Peace, it was added, was unavoidable. We are unable to say any thing upon the subject of the report from Perpignan of the defeat of our Alicant Army. The letters and papers from France are still silent, and we must presume the whole was either founded upon error, or wilfully fabricated. The following letter from Sicily, dated the 26th May, is the latest, we believe, that has been received from that Island : " PALERMO, MAY 24. " Lord William Bentinck embarks this day or to morrow for Alicant, where, it is said, he will be im mediately invested with the command of a division of the Allied Army in the Peninsula. " His Lordship takes with him some artillery. 46 The Ist battalion of the 44th regiment, and one battalion of the Sicilian Levy; five companies of the 44th have arrived from Malta, and the other divisions with a detachment of the Maltese levy, were under mniers to embark for dui. place, but on account of plagui raging at Malta, none of the troops from that !Stand have been suffered to !and. . " The Parliament meets oh the Ilth of June, and ,he departure of the Queen for Trieste is delayed on account of her indisposition, which some say is of a political nature." •• Last ni Wellii Pasnpi " A states, de Per Bayon 4' y Englis his Bs league the gai besiep for the with t' the Gs proceed enterer and br VITTORIA. _ _ _ _ _______ _ • Carta/iris, wounded ib &alright.

" The Commander-in-Chief commands it to be declared in General Orders, that his Royal Highness the Patrice Rumor, in consideration of the meritorious services of the Non-commis sioned Officers of the army, and with a view of extending encou ragement and advantages to those of the infantry, corresponding to the benefit which the appointments of Troop Serjeant-Masora offer in the cavalry, has been most graciously pleased, in the name and on the behalf of his Majesty, to direct, that in all re giments of infantry, whose services are not subject to limitation, the pay of the Serjeant-Major sail henceforth be raised to Ss. per day, and that the pay of one Serjeant in each company of battalions of the above description, viz, of those serving without limitation, shall be raised to 2s. 4d. per day, and that the said Serjeants shall be distinguished by an honourable badge, of which, however, and of the advantages attending it, they will, in case of misconduct, be liable to be deprived, at the discretion of the Colonel, or Commanding Officer of the regiment, or by the sen ' tenet of a Court-martial.
