Zet Gazette of last night contains a dispatch from the marquis of WaLIJNOTON, of the 18th ult. but as p We already stated, it contains no intelligence of which we were not before in possession. MAnisoNT's army, or rather the army of Portugal, has feebly resumed offensive operations by reentering Valladolid, but it is not likely that their reinforce ment/ from France will be of such a magnitude for some time as to enable them to threaten the positions or the British. General CLINTON is sufficiently strong Ctiellar to resist all attempts from the North, while the Gallant Marquis will, *e trust, speedily follow up his splendid victories, by the defeat of SOULT or SVcIIET in the South of Spain. The following letter from an Officer in - General BILL% army, announces some most impertant events : " BADAJOZ, AUGUST 24. We have just received official intelligence, that Valencia is again in our bands, having surrendered to the expedition from Majorca. It is also reported that 'Tarragona, and even Lerida, have fallen. " General HILL has orders to advance, and hi: operations willbe conducted in conjunction with the dlvlaion at Ayarnonte, sad with the forces under BALLAST LIM " King fawn has retreated, and is gone—nobody knoWs whither. Ihe utmost harmony prevails between the Allies and the native troops, and consistently with this good understanding, all the Spanish Gueiillas in the neighbourhood of Madrid, have gladly placed themselves under the orders of Lord WILL NGTOW Prong the principal Chiefs who have submitted to this arrange. rent, are the celebrated cliampiobs, the lament/m sod she MLDICO." The same letter states, that Souvr had not left Se vile, and the probability is, that. the date assigned in the Lisbon Gazettes for this event is erroneous, since the liege of Cadiz, according to our Gazette Extraor dinary, was sot raised until the night of the 24th and the morning of the 25th. General Cavz was, on the 18th August, inVillarosa. We are still unable, from the non-an•ival of intelli. I genee from the French coast, to confirm .or refute the accounts transmitted us yesterday from Dover, of the I I battle between Smolensko and Moscow.—We are not inclined, however, to discredit the statements in our Dover letters of yesterday, and we certainly think that probability is on the side of the general accuracy of the'statement. Some of the letters from Dover gave the loss of the French In wounded, as acknow- I !edged in their own Bulletin, at/flees thousand, and upon this our contemporaries have reasoned as throw. ing discredit on the whole story. Our letter stated the loss to be fifteen hundred, and by this statement we must abide, as being the most probable, until we receive the official details. The broad fact of the advance of the French army beyond Smolensko, cannot be disputed, for.th i e battle ot'Valentina was fought in advance beyond that place. Neither can it be for a moment doubted, that the French leader would push forward to Moscow as rapidly as he could, in order to get his troops under cover in the event of their being overtaken by a Rus sian winter. In this event the Russians will shape their retreat towards St. Petersburgh, where their means of supply will be ample, while famine and the severity of winter must spread.havoc among the ranks of their invaders. Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE had an audience of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House. His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador is making great preparations for a grand entertainment to the Royal Princes and the Cabinet Ministers, in honour of the Marquis of WELLIXOTON'S Victory. A strong canvas has been commenced for the Bo rough of Northampton, in opposition to the North ampton family, in expectation of an immediate dis solution of Parliament. We have information from the United States that ao fewer than 100 licences were granted by Mr. Fos- TER for ships to proceed with grain to the Peninsula. What respect these licences will meet with, may be collected from the following paragraph in the Co lumbian: " Philacklphia, July 24. " Two days after the privateer Atlas, Capt. Moir- VATT, cleared the Cape of Delaware, she boarded, under British colours, the brig Tulip, Capt. Mom*, hound from New York to Lisbon, havins on board 1400 barrels of flour, and some salt provisions. Cap tain MOFFATT affected to be sailing under.a British commission,. and threatened immediately to send the ! ulip into a British port. He kept the delus'on so well, as completely to satisfy the Captain of the Tu lip that the Atlas was a British, and not an Ameri can privateer. This conviction being produced, Cap tain Mosica said be would satisfy Captain MOFFATT that lie ought not to resist or detain him. He infor med him that he had dispatches from Mr. FOSTER, and produced a British licence.—" These papers," said Captain MOFFATT, " are quite satisfactory ; and now, instead of sending you into a British port, I will send you into the port of Philadelphia." He then pot five men and a prize-master on board, and the Tulip is cow lying off Walcut•street Wharf." , t HE t— 'l he Guards embarked yeetertiat it Pottenthuth, end sailed for Corunna, and not for Lisbon, as was at first expected. Lieutenant-General Dausokrita and Staff went out with them. This morning at four o'clbck, the last detachment of the Foot Guards, consisting of 100 of the 2d re giment, and 150 of the 3d regiment, with Officers, amounting to 300 men, marched from the Parade in the'Bird-cage-walk, St. James's Pal*, alqn; West minster, for Woolwich, there to embark to Join the British army under the command of General HILL. The troops were in high spirits, and as they passed, repeatedly gave and received several cheering huxus. The Ist battalion of the 91st of the line, upwards of 10(X) strvng, embarked yesterday at Chatham in lighters, and sailed to Sheerness, where they are to be re-embarked on b6ard ships of war, and proceed to the Nore, and are to wait there the arrival of the above division of the Guards from London ; the whole will then sail for the port of Corunna, and are to join the army under the immediate command of the Marquis of WamanoTon. Five companies of the 3d regiment of the 4toyal Lancashire Militia march ed yesterday frotn the barracks in Canterbury, to occupy those at Chatham. An order is come out for two new troops to be ad ded to each of the Life Guards, previous to their going on foreign service. It is now understood that the intention of sending out these regiments as a bri- gade of Household troops is done away eat and that they are to act independently, or to be attached to other brigades. In order to assimilate them more to other Dragoons, the long coats and cross-belts, which have hitherto distinguished the Household Troops, are to be exchanged for short jackets and waist-belts. The eight transports which brought over 8000 French prisoners, return immediately to Lisbon ; they carry out artillery and troop horses for the Marquis of WELLINGTON'S army. On board one of these transports Lieutenant-General STEWART and Staff go out ; also Captains STRETTOW, Downs, and - foams, of the 40th Regiment ' • and Captain REED, and Lieu tenant TATE, of the Staff Corps ; and Paymaster JoNas, of the King's own Dragoons. The 70th regiment, now quartered in Stirling Castle, under the command of LietiVEDMIE-Colonel GRANT, are= 500 strong, mostly young boys. They-only from the West Indies, a skeleton, about six uswasha ago. The varse aadiasagaified statements of the force under General MAITLAND being calculated to excite extravagant expectations of its proceedings, we are happy in the opportunity of presenting our Readers with the following Extract of a Letter from an Officer belonging to that army, shewing both the strength and the regiments employed : We have now fairly left Pert Mahon, and are under way for the coast of Spain. We left Sicily 7000 strong, totally British, consisting of a division of the 20th Light Dragoons, the Ist battalion 10th Foot, the Ist battalion 58th, the Ist battalion 81st, the 4th and 6th battalions King's German Legion. and the regiments of Dillon and de Rolle. At NV norca we have been joined by about 4000 men, so that our whole strength may be about 11,000. The coast cf Catalonia is evidently to be the theatre of our operations." Lieutenant and Adjutant JAMES DAVIDSON, of the 27th regiment, who was killed in the battle of Sala manca, was the second son of JOHN DAVIDSON, Esq. Collector of the Land Tax for the county of Caith ness. This gentleman had also the misfortune to lose his eldst son, Captain SINCLAIR DAVIDSON Of the 79th regiment, who fell gallantly leading his connpa-i ny to victory at the bittle of Fuente de Honora.— Both were officers of high promise, much esteemed by their superiors, and highly respected by their corn- 1 panions in arms. Thursday, the examination of the Gentlemen Ca- I dets who were Candidates for Commissions in the Royal Corps of Engineers, and Royal Regiment of , Artillery, took place before a *lea Committee of Officers of the above Corps, and a numerous assem blage of spectators. The following Officers of the Royal Engineers, viz.—General MANN, Inspector of Fortifications, and Culonels BRIDGES and lima ; and Generals LLOYD and BORTHWICK, and Colonel Cous- BROOK, of the Royal Artillery, were the Officers ap pointed by the Master-General of the Ordnance, to decide on the merits of the Candidates. Dr. HUTTON was the examiner, and concurred with the Officers present in expressing his utmost satisfaction of the great proficiency of the candidates, throughout a long examination of five or six hours in the most abstruse branches of mathematics, including hydrostatics, hydraulics, pneumatics, fluzions, practical gunnery, &c. &c. General LLOYD, in the name of the Com mittee, expressed himself highly pleased with the advancement of the studies at the Royal Military Academy, and the great display of ability made by the present candidates, and complimented Colonel MUDGE, the Lieutenant-Governor, and Colonel Pin eils, the Inspector of the Studies, on their great improve ment. Twelve commissions were given in the Royal Corps of Engineers, and twelve in the Royal Regi ment of At tillery. Among the Gentlemen who ob tained promotion, were the following : For the Royal Engineels —Messrs. H. Wilson, Henderson, Battersbee, Cooper, Walpole, Cox, Vicars, Tait, Brandretb, Lewis, Streatheld, and Mudge. For the Royal Artillery—Mmes. T. Wilson, Blackhnon, Dickens, Dawson, 'Wrazall, Ford, Lindsey, Bland, Poole, Tom lkyns, Tristram, sod Darby. The outward ternperary fence was removed yester day from mound New Drury-lane Theatre, and ex hibited the two fronts of that elegant structure to the admiration of a large concourse of beholders: K EIIBLE has been some time on a visit to the Earl of ABERDEEN, in Scotland. CooKE, the epirited actor, though so often stated to be " half seam over," does not appear to have even yet embarked for this country. The last accounts left him performiag.at Rhode Island.. A duel was fought a few days since, between Mr. Eccisrow and Mr. DECAMP, in which both parties acted with great eject, and came of with great eclat, without bloodshed. The cause of the quarrel origi nated at a rehearsal at the Surrey Theatre. Mr. ARTHUR Youse, and Dr. WALCoT (better known by the name of Peter Pinder) have both for some time past been afilicted with total blindness. ;01110rIS INSURRECTION OP fiXE FRENCH I PRISONERS AT DARTMOOR DEPOT. mommm.mlio Plyeectlth, September J 4. An express arived here last night, at eleven o'clock, informing General STEPHZNS that t serious commo tion had broken out among the prisoners in D trtmoor Depot, that the Cheshire Militia Stationed the e, were under artns, and that in fiiediate assistance was ne cessary. Three field pieces, with 15 gunners and 15 artillery drivers, were immediately sent off to lien moor, and their appearance quickly restore I Order among the insurgents. It appears that the bake house having been burnt down last week at Dart moor, in which bread- for the prisoners had usually been baked, a pound and a half of biscuit had been served out to each man, but this had been reduced, by an order from Government, to one pound, the usual allowance of bread. This was resented by the whole body of prisoners (about 7000), sad they shewed so determined a disposition, that such measures were found necessary as were adopted. They even had it in contemplation to fire ,the paean and effect an escape. Some bf them were for.selsing the depot of arms at Tavistock, but the appearance of the artil lery settled every thing. Five o'Clock, (Monday).—l have jest seen one of the Gloucester Militia, who came from Dartmoor a few hours since, and all was then quiet, though it was deemed prudent to keep the artillery there.

The Nottingham paper of Saturday last, after noticing the riotous proceedings which took place in that town *a the Monday and Tuesday, adds, that in consequence of small parties of the mirrtary being stationed at the bakers' houses, and of other precau tions adopted by the. Magistrates, the town had since remained perfectly tranquil. Several parties of rio ters had visited the mills in that neighbourhood, and some of the fat m.houses, where they were relieved with money.

MOST EXTRAORDINARY CAM—Farther particular:: yesterday communicated the case of a sud deh death of a Gentleman on Sunday night, at house of a particular description, near the Admi ralty, aitended with a proof of extraordinary saga city and attachment displayed by his dog. The de. ceased has proved to be Mr. CoRBET t a respectable inhabitant of Lewisham, in Kent, where he pos. sessed a farm of considerable extent, and followed the business of an auctioneer, and was greatly res spected in his neighbourhood. About ten days ago Mr. C. indulged three of his daughters with a visit to Richmond, and after having settled them there in lodgings, came to London upon business. Of ale manner in which he since passed his time, until Sunday night, when he was taken suddenly ill in the house near the Admiralty, nothing has transpired. The people of the house, supposing him dead, im mediately gave the alarm, and the body was con . - veyed to the Lord Cochrane Hotel, within a few doors in Spring Gardens. Here it was discovered that the spark of life was not totally extinguished.— He was carried tip stairs and put to bed, and medi- cal assistance was called in, but in vain. In a few minutes he was a corpse. As the people of the Lord Cochrane were cartying him up stairs, a sum of 41,100 fell from his pocket in . bank-notes, tied up in a bundle, and marked on the outside, " To be paid into Snow's," a circumstance sufficient in itself to shew that be had not been dishonestly treated by the fernile who accompanied him into the house from, -which he was brought, or any other person belong. ing to it. The Inquest did not sit yesterday, as was expected, Mr. Await, the Coroner, not having beet% found until it was too late to summon a jury. It was, however, summoned last evening, to Sit this day, when tge young lady, in whose company the deceased was taken so fatally ill, is expected to at. tend. In the mean time, the interesting little dog. remains at his post, the faithful guardian of his be. loved master's remains. He lies on the foot of the bed, with his eyes constantly fixed on the body with an eager, anxious, melancholy expression. TM place yes crowded yesterday with people, led by curiosity to this interesting scene. The little dog never appeared to take any notice of these strange visitors, and no rude hand ever attempted to inter. rupt the little mourner in his melancholy office. He is a little tan-coloured terrier, with a black nose.--4 The three young ladies, daughters of the deceased, who arrived in town on Monday, are in lodgings in Cockspur-street, where they were yesterday joined by their youngest sister, who remained behind at Lewisham, when they went to Richmond. The meeting of these young ladies, under such circum stances, it would be eltlEcult to describe. Their mo ther has been some time dead. The deceased was a sour man, with a strongly marked countenance. The Commissioners 'for his Majesty's Land Re venue have given notice of their intention to apply to Parliament next Session for an Act to enable them to, make the new street from Carlton House to Port land-place. The street is to be 100 feet wide, and in a right line from the entrance to the Grand Hall of Carlton House to Piccadilly, where there is to be a small circus, from thence it is to go northward into a square on the site of Brewer-street, Scc. ; it is then to lead on north-westward to the top of King-street and Swallow-street, and.then in a right line to Portland , place. The improvement likewise embraces the opening a street from the east end of Pall-Mall to St Martin's Church, a square in the King's Mews, th opening ofJermyn-street at the east end, and that Charles-street into the Haymarket, and King-stre. into St. James's-street. - A few days since so large a shoal of that luxu'riot fish, the red mullet, drove from the sea up the riv Exe to Topsham, that they were sold at 2s. per 0- and under.
