Letters from the Spanish frontiers bring the fol.. lowing accounts ; Lord Wellington has again returned to his army at Pamplona, and on the 25th a severe battle was' fought. The English occupied three heights, which they hid entrenched. , The French were three times repulsed. The 50th regiment at length forced the position with that coolness and intrepidity which cha racterize that corps. The English lost 9000 men ; the loss of the French' is estimated at 250 Q. After the . two assaults which the English inadeion the town of San Sebastian, and in both which they were - repulsed, and left the breaches and ditches filled with their dead, they remained very quiet on the 26th ; but on the 27th, perceiving the progress made by the Duke of Dalmatia - , they made prepara tions for raising the siege, and transported their ar. tillery into the harbour, in order to put it on board their ships. The brave soldiers of the garrison of San Mas i tian, who had repulsed them with so. much vigour, sallied out before day, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Lape, commander of the mountain yagers, and cut down every thing they found in the n trenches. We counted 500 dead bodies, and 323 prisoners, among whom were 30 officers.- It is believed that the Duke of Dalmatia will have entered Vittoria on 31st of July, or Ist of August. We may therefore estimate, that since our recom rnencing offensive operations, the loss of the English, Portuguese, and Spanish army amounts to 20,000 men, out of which 8 or 9000 are English. Another letter from that country contains, as fol lows : The Duke of Albufera evacuated Valencia on the ',Mt of July, leaving garrisons in the Citadel and fort Saguinum. He passed the Ebro at Tortosa, and ar rived at Tarragona, where he had the good fortune of falling in with an army, composed of one-fourth English and the other three-fourths Spaniards, which; he put to flight. He made 1500 prisoners, took all, their canpon, and killed and wounded a great num ber of their men. General Graham, the second :.n 'connmand of Ott English army, is dead.ofshis wounds. . • - • In the actions which took place on the 24th, 25ffi; and 26th, the English and Spaniards had covered tha t different hills. over which the French army had to pass, with entrenchments. All these works were can tied by assault. The columns of the Basques, which had joined thi French army and gone round a mountain, did the enemy great damage. The English army was is fullffight-on all sides. The head-quarters of the Duke of Dalmatia ate expected at Vittoria, BERLIN, AUGUST 14. It is reported, though nothing official is known to the subject, that after the armistice had been denoun ced by Prussia, the French took Breslau; from which they were, however, afterwards driven, with the loss of twelve cannon. Fresh affairs are expected every day. It ia supposed there will be a great battle ig Lusatia. • BT, PIETERSBURGH, JOLT Qt. At the moment when the heroes of the North, crowned with the laurels of victory, reposed between the banks of the Elbe and the Oder; after the pain ful labours to which they had devoted themselves during the course of a campaign that will be forever memorable .t . the true ions o f Spain, in the resides* of the Russian monarchs, rallying under the standards of their country, took the oath of fidelity to their le- Il i t*Ate B °Te.re i gn, witting w ith • Rdoim wioi4 Omit ,• • r - 07 . • •/6 ennntrythen, and to reconquer the liberty and inde. - pendesice of their country. - • On the 7th of this month, the ceremony of the be nediction of the colours. of .the'Spanish linperial Re giment of Alexander took plice at Zarsko Celo. The Minister Plenipotentiary; . the Chevalier Bardaxi Aza ra, in concert with the Minister at War, Prince Cert. schakoff, chose this day, in memory ofthe brilliant. victory gained on the 7th of July, 1808, by the Spa. niards, near Baylen. The cremony was conducted in the following or. der :—The new Spanish regiment, Consisting of 1300 men, and divided into three battalions, was drawn up in the great square of Sophia. Prince Gortscha koff, on his arrival, passed them in review. All the necessary dispositions being made, and the Empresses having arrived, the ceremony of the benediction was commenced with the customary prayers. The co. lours were afterwards presented to the Commandant *at this regiment, Colonel O'Dounel, and to two offi cers of the same regiment. The corps then took the oath to King Ferdinand VII. and the Constitution, according to the form prescribed. Te Delon was af terwards sung, and divme.service performed : a t the conclusion of - which, the officiating priest put up a .prayer for lone life to his Majesty the Emperor, and the whole of his august family. The Spanish warriors. impressed with the most lively gratitude, made the air resound with shouts of so Long live the Emperor—long live his august fa 'mily.!' —The Spanish Minister, afterwazds•addressed these warriors, in discourse in which he recalled to their recollection, in a lively manner, the misfortunes of .heir country, .their efforts to repel tyranny, the success which had already crowned their valour, and the perseverance which could not fail to complete their triumph, and erect an eternal monument to their glory, the solid foundation of their future prosperity. At the conclusion of this eloquent discourse, to which circumstances have now added a new interest, these warriors unanimously exclaimed—"" Long live Fer. dinand VII.!" and filed off in the piesence of their, Majesties the Empresses and the pf , r ran of their So vereign. This festival gave occasion t' .reflect oii several extraordinary. circumstances: In the yeas 181 Z these same t • paniarsts, torn from their homes, and mixed with a confused assemblage of the tide. rent nations of Europe, were thrown by Napoleon on the soil of Russia ; and this year has seen. them ap pear in the midst of the Russians, not as enemies, but AS 80 many friends and allies. Thus has PRoViDENCR in its impenetrable decrees conveyed them trom *the extremity of Southern Europe, towards the - countries of the North, to take in those climates the oath of fidelity to their legitimate Sovereign. COPENHAGEN, AUGUST, 18)3. ' A pamphlet has just made its appfarance here, in titled. Notes (in an Article in the Moniteur, et the 21st June, 1815," and published at Stralsund, in *Tu', 1813.—1 t is there said in Note 10: “ It Is notorious, that M. tle Kaas pretended to be sick at Al Ora, that be inight there await a reply to the proposals that be had made to the Allied Generals, and that the same pretence de tained him at Harbors; but banns learnt the result of the battle of Baotarn, he forgot his having promised to wait for a reply, aad departed for the head-quarters of the Emperor Napbleen." And, in note 12: '• No overture was made to M. de Kass; we repeat, that it was he who made them to the Ger.erals of the Allies' But whatever notoriety there may be, it is notorious; and upwards of thirty persons can attest it, that M. de Kaas was actually ill on his arrival at Altona, if one may so denominate a slight indisposition, arising from the fatigues of his journey, and which confined him, at the most, not above five or six hours to his bed. To feign an illness .for five or six hours for the intention imputed to him—could there be any rea sonable purpose in doing so i it is further notorious,l and is known to several Civil and Military Othceri at Altona, that some of the self-termed Plenipotentiaries to tlt service of the Allied Princes, took all possible pains to speak with M. de Kaas, with the intent of preventing him, by reiterated proposals which they made him, from proceeding to the French head-quar ters, or to engage hint to relinquish his journey. Fbr this purpose, they made use of a printed proclama tion, issued by the Swedish Generil Von Dobeln, dated May, 1813, and of an eventual mission with which M. Cie Signeul would be charged to his Ma jesty the King (4 Denmark, on the part of the PrOwn Prince of Sweden. The departure of M. de Kaas for Hafburg, imme-1 diately after the conversation that he had*with these Gentlemen, gives authority , to the an%wer that he gave, and which he ought to give to such insinua tions. Finally, it is notorious, that M. de Kaas was not charged by his Sovereign either to receive from, or to make to, any person whomsoever, any such pro posals or overtures. And, in - short, if facts so gene. rally known should not suffice. to exculpate M. de Kaas from the charge of duplicity, which it is wished to impute to him, in order to blacken his Court ; it is to be wished, that one would name-the Allied Ge nerals, to whom M. de Kin caused such proposals to be made, their object ) , and. the names of tho 4. Who have made themaelves the instruments of ite--- 1 All these evidencesliask Kr the conclusion, that the notes above cited are . not to be - regarded otherwise than as tales made for amusement, according to the ancient saying,Calummiare audaciter temper aiquid laurel being a sequel to those which have-been promulgated concerning the mission of Count de Bernstorff to London, and which the British Ministry not very scrupulously have used as a means of defence for themselves. Rather say, that they are dictated by the same spirit of hatred which has always, and in every Cabinet where its voice is heard, excited new enemies to the Danish Government—which has caused Norway and the North of Germany to be inundated with pamphlets full of rage against her—the object of which is to convince the Swedes, but which it will be difficult to make them believe, that it was the King of Denmark who first broke he Treaty of Jon kopiug. But the Estates which compose the Diet of Sweden will one day know bow to appreciate and reduce to their real value, all these sophisms, which arp merely used to make them believe that the war which they find themselves drawn into was just and necessary. They will learn to appreciate whether is happy and peaceable' enjoyment of the benefits pro. mired to them by the Ordonance, which on the 15th of August, 18,1%, opened the ports of Sweden to ves sels of all commercial relations, would not have been of greater value than this system of conquest, which has engendered this thirst of glory, which carries in itself the seed 4 of its owa clesquetioo, • • mutt, AUGUST 14. The Swedish- troops are almost all in ow neigh. bourhood. Tschernicbef will probably, remain near Dornetz ' and another corps of R uss i an cavalry aia pass the Elbe near Tagermunde. These are no troops in the countries of Luneburg or Brunswik. It is reported that Davoust has left Hamburgh, and proceeded to Saxony ; and that the Danes gar. rison Hamburgb. Vandamme is at Dessau, and Do arbrouski at Zerbst, with about 1000 Poles. AL the troops appear to be inclining towards Laptia : there are many between Frar.kfort, Wittenberg, and Torgau. In Franionia and Bavaria there are at present more troops than there ever were at any fur. trier period. Wittgenstein and Kleist are at Prague; and their armies, 60,000 strong, have been transported partly in waggons through Bohemia to proceed to the kgra. Private letters from Prague say. that there is no doubt of the accession of Austria, all her troops being in motion. Sixty thousand Russians are forming at Budweis. to act in concert with the Austrian reserve. Much artillery and twenty gun-boats are ready at Stettin ; so that we expect that fortress will be tak e n by assault within eight days after the 16th of August. ° Woronzow and Herchfeld are to join Bulow's cups, and act under the Crown Prince of Sweden, who wall have an army of 150,000 men. ' . BOHRMIA, AUGUST S. To-morrow. or next &+y, 4 well appointed army of forty thousand Russians and rrusbians will mirth through this kingdom to Egra. Twelve hundred waggons are put in requisition to convey provisins. BERLIN, AUGUST According to intelligence from an aue'entie source, a. Prussian corps, under the orders of General Von Kleist, and a Russian corps, commanded by General Von Wittgenstein, entered Bohemia on toe 6th, and joined the Austrians, with whomiltey are to act. PRAGUL JULY 30.—(From a German Parr.) ' On the 28th the Imperial Frencti Minister to the Cringress at this place, thy Duke of Vicenza (Cau lincourt) arrived here; and, as we learn, commenced 'ills mission with intimating, 64 Taut the Armistice 4 must be farther prolonged for a certain period, is before, 'art ormAdy to the instructions he bad ye.. “ Calved from his Court, he could enter iuto any kind *66 of negociation." This demand, however * we are assured, was instantly and unanimously rejected by all the Plenipotentiaries of the l'owera allied against France. It is reported, that bolus since assumed a ' more moderate tone, It is,•however, doubted whether the bass of peace be signed on the 10111, the last day of the Ir. mistice •' 'and we, therefore, look with ce r t a i n ty to i n s renewal of hostilities on the 17th s and in tins event, it is no less certain, that on the part of Austioi, hos. tilities will be commenced against France, at all poidts, on the aide of Saxony. Bavaria, and Italy. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 9., 1819; Once more the intelligence from the North is of bustling and exhilirating description. Yeiterday thrie Gottenburgh Mails arrived in quick succession. all of them bringing a confirmation of the gratifying intelligence of Auatria having, at length, assumed the noble attitude of independence. and declared- war against France. The Austrian declaration was is. sued on the 11th, and it is slid to have been the nee cessary consequence of BONAPARTeS haughty iutd in. solent refusal to answer the ultimatum of the Ans. trian Cabinet previous to the termination of the ar mistice on the 10th. That ultimatum is repre. 'tented to have demanded the cession of the Prussian fortresses as a preliminary ID neftociatinn--W.tA• MITI refused. He is said to have demande.i, an indispensible preliminary, that the Aruiu•tice should be renewed before he permitted any further diplomatic intercourse. CAUFANCOURrind NARBONNE. his Plenipotentiaries, were instantly dismissed from Prague, where the head-quarters of the Emperors cf Russia, Austria, and the King of Prussia, were promptly established. The Allied Armies immediately moved forward, and crossed at various points the line of demarkation pointed out by the Armistice. Of the hostibt;es which have resulted we 'have but a slight intirn ition hi the foreign Journals—they 'have not, however, a character to excite great sensations. That Austria has entetld cordially into the contest, :There cannot be-a doubt. She has a lung list of L r,Witnces to` abate-a dreadful reckoning of shame a , d dishonour to settle with France . . Her Emperor has seen stripped of his title of Chief of the Roman Em. "pire —his territories have been dismembered. r .and, though last not least, he was frightened into thi sacri• lice of his daughter to the vile embraces of an upstart, whom no female of delicacy and honour ought to regard Without abhorrence ! It is indeed, with Austria, a`viay . of extermination centeit of death or glory. She must buckle on the armour of manly indignatiori, and instil s noble contempt of death into her warriors. The great and glorious spirit, which went forth during the confla. gration of Moscow, asid which animated the band of Heroes who escaped from the smoking ruins of Trot, must fill the hearts and nerve the arms of the Aus. trian Patriots and soldiers. They must resolve to d'..% nth " harness on their backs :" " Venic summa dies tt ineluc aline tempua " Darden's: " Mortamur, et in media alma mamas, t , lines** yletts nuiLmi verare salut-m !"
