COPY OS THE NOTICE PRINTED AT SALAMANCA. of Battle, near Salamanca, July n 2, w The French army under the command of Mar-I 'hal Mapeowr was defeated yesterday by that of the Allies, commanded by Lord WELLINGTON, Duke of( Ciudad Rodrigo, in the fields of Salamanca, on the left of the Tormes, near the. Arrapelo, after seven hours continued firing, where the infantry as well as the cavalry and artillery of both nations did prodi gies of valour. The French were successively dia loged from their advantageous positions, and they • lost all the artillery which they had placed there. Their loss of men is estimated at ten or twelve thou wand—to this morning more than four thousand prisoners. Some eagles are likewise taken.

" Don CARLOS ESPANA, with Don ,JULIAN, beat the enemy severely at Castillo Vedrillo : his cavalry co- vered itself with glory. The number of killed, it is said, is not less than 27006 The French Were obli ged to retreat to the heights of Villa Fuente. Our troops were yesterday at Canizal. , 6 The Allies attacked, at the same time, on other points. The number of prisoners amounts to four or five thousand, who yesterday came into Salamanca : amongst them is General CARRIER, severely wounded. " A great part of the army took the road to Me dina, pursued by the Allies; and to-thy again, we have heard much firing. 41 In that quarter, it is stated, was King JOSZP/ip with some troops, which he brought from Madrid. 41 The greater part of the waggon-train, which the first day reached from Tordesillas to Medina, fell into the-hands of the English. In consequence, Lord WELLINGTON ordered the inhabitants of the district of Toro to come and examine the effects, and receive what might respectively belong to them ; several, in fact, have recovered what they conceived as lost. The army of Lord WELLINGTON has been rein forced with 12,000 men. i‘g The adherents of the French in Valladolid have been obliged to take up arms. The French cavalry is destroyed. I shall write to you to-morrow in de• tail. I communicate this to your Excellency for your satisfaction, hoping that you will be pleased to publish such important intelligence. As soon as I receive that which I am promised, I shall send it also to your Excellency. (Signed) 44 PZDRO DE LA BARCENA. k The President and Members of the Supreme Junta of Astatine." Some farther particulars, which have transpired through the medium of the Malta Mail, which ar rived yesterday, incline us to think that the Grand Expedition, litely collected in the Mediterranean, is not destined for Catalonia in die first instance.— Toulon, and the environs of Cadis have been both mentioned as objects of attacks at the latter place, the French now continue to annoy the inhabitants most formidably by means of their new-invented shells. The following additional article of intelligence . bas been furnished us by the above lvfalsa Mail : V MALTA, JULY 1. II The GANYPdEDE arrived here three days since. The AtcEsTE sails to-day with convoy. 4 , By letters from Port Mahon, of the 10th June, the first division of the expedition from Sicily has ar rived there. "MALTA, JUNE 5. 6 6 By letters from Constantinople we learn that General ANDRBOSSI is on his way thither as Mi nister Plenipotentiary and Ambassador Extraordi. nary £ronj the French Government to the Porte, and has arrived in Bosnia. A person of some dis. tinctioa has been sent by the Porte to meet him. 44 The Pasticass AMELIA sailed for England the 27th of May. " SMYRNA, JUNE I, U Wheat is getting down, the new crop having a very favourable appearance. At Constantinople they daily receive corn from the Black Sea. They write under date of the 50th tilt. that the Congress at Bucharest has been dissolve; and that though the Russians have left only 12,000 men in Wallachia ; the Turks do not seem inclined to attack. General AM:OIMM is daily expected at their capital. We lament to say, that the Commissioners ar- pointed to go nut to Spanish America to mediate be tween them and the Mother Country, are about to re-1 j turn to England wi th out proceeding to fulfil the objects I of their intended missinn. The reason is. the obsti nate refusal of the Corks to give them the powers which were necessary to success ; for they would not consent to include Mexico is the Commission, or permit them to go thither at all. It has been consi dered in vain to proceed to the execution of the trust under these circumstances, and the measure is aban doned. Such is still the conduct of the Cortes ; and, we are sorry to say, they have come to this decisi since the arrival of the Duke del I IifANTADO at Cadiz. In addition to the intelligence from Buenos Ayres, which we have given in another column, we are also informed by letters from that port, of the 25th ot May, that two vessels had recently arrived there from Phi ladelphia, laden. with arms and military stores. They were the Pactolus, Jamcsost, and Liberty, JONES : the former with 8000 stand of arms, 3000 pair of pistols, +WO swords, And 2000 barrels of gunpowder ; .and the latter with 15,000 muskets, and 900 barrels of gunpower. The Government of Monte Video had slowed the merchants to fit out privateers, to cruize against the trade of Buenos Ayres, in consequence ot which commerce was at a stand.

DRRADFUL ACCIDENT—FURTHAR PARTICULARS.--. Yesterday morning, at six o'clock, two houses in Great Russell-street, Covent-Garden, formerly the Blue Posts Tavern, which was under repair, fell to the ground with a tremendous crash. Unfortunately, at the time, several workmen who were employed in re pairing the building were inside, in different parts of the premises. The greater part of the crazy edifice fell inwards, and buried nearly the whole in the ruins. Every effort was immediately made to extricate the unfortunate sufferers, and palings were erected across the street to Drury-lane Theatre, to prevent their exertions from being impeded, and the workmen con tinued at their labour; until night. Several were taken out of the cellafand ground floor, but as the materials of the building were light and unsubstan tial, the lives of many were saved. There were 16 persons in the interior of the miserable building when it fell, those in the cellar escaped, but many of the others dug out of the ruins presented very miserable objects, and were conveyed to Middlesex Hospital two of whom died, and three soon returned, and ex erted themselves to recover others from the ruins. A poor woman, who was passing when the houses fell, is supposed to have been tilled, as her basket was found in the street, and she has riot since been heard of. The workmen -continued digging on the ruins the whole cf last night, and the neighbourhood was thrown into general alarm by the accident. • Thursday the 29th ult. a fire broke out in a cottage occupied by R. Builth, at Abbey door, Herefordshire, labourer, during his absence at work, and that of his wife, who was engaged in baking at a neighbour's Noise, by which the cottage and ever Article of apparel and furniture were con sumed ; and, dreadful to relate, four fine children, the eldest only five years old, perished in the flames. . AUXILIARY BIBLR SocIETY.—A very numerous Meeting of the Friends to the formation of an Auxi liary Bible Society, in the City of London, was held yesterday at the Mansion-House. The Egyptian Hall was appropriated to the business of the Meeting. The Rev. Mr. OWEN stated to the company the origin and progress of the Society, and the great ad vantages which it might be expected the cause would derive from the countenance and support of the first City in the world. That support he was sure would not be wanting, in aid of the good work which was now extensively carrying on throughout the wirrld. Mr. BLUMARK stated, that the translation and dis tribution of the Bible among foreign nations, tended not only to diffuse the spirit of Christian charity, peace; and concord, throughout the world, but to conciliate the affections of foreign nations towards this country. In Sweden, and among the simple and honest Dalecarlians, he could assure them, that the peasants felt the highest gratitude to those who had eh~+, supilieti tiled with the dread of Lfte ; and aftva • exclaimed, that the English were not their snemie but their true Fiend;, who interested themselves ed much about their eternal silvationi The Cis London had lately taken* prominent part in thk liming the temporal wants of their countrymen and he trusted that they would not now be backwarsi in their endeavours to supply their spiritual warts. The Rev. Mr, tiawcres expitiated on the grea advantages which all descriptions of Chtistlans m. receive from having - the - Bible put into their han. and having the pure Ward of Goa administered them in the manner that this Society proceeded hi The Bibles circulated by them were not accompani • with any notes, er expositions, to suit the doctrin • or purposes of one Church, bur was a g" to all descriptions of Christians, in which they might read the word of Goo without any comments. T principle of this Institution was so good. that he had t no doubt of its success and prosperity. The esto per* pima, which had been so often applied to out Constar tution, would, he trusted, be the wish-of all the reli gious for the success of this Institution. The Resolutions suggested by the Commltee were then read by the Secretary. Mr. Rowceorr came Mtwara, in order regularly to move them. He felt himself, in point of talents & far unequal to the task of discussing a question of such vast importance; but is there were occasions which caused o the dumb to speak," so, feeling due great advantages to be expected from those proceed. ings, he did dot hesitate to come forward. He was glad to see that great hall crowded with well.wishers to the cause, and with so respectable and august an assembly as he was now addressing. When he re.. membered that Egypt was the country from which morality and science first enlightened the ancient world, he could not avoid observing, that from this, which was called the Egyptian }tall, and from the resolutions then passed, he had hopes that still grra benefits would now be diffused over the world, by the exertions of those distinguished persons of the City of London who were there present. He thought that the spirit of Christian charity and peace might he so diffused among the nations as to unite them all in moral union. The benefits of educating the poor had been so strongly felt of late, that two great socie ties for that purpose, which he was sorry to sty ap. peared rival societies, had both of them met the most distinguished patronage and support It would doubt. less be a powerful aid to those societies, if the were put into the hands of those who had been thus taught to read ; and, on the other hand, those socie ties for promoting education, would also powerfully assist the cause of religion and 'morality. After many observations on the advaotages to be expected from the exertions of this Society, he concluded bf maying the resolutions. Mr. Favect seconded the resolutions, in an elo. quent speech. • The Resolutions were then pot add carried with unanimity, and loud acclamations. Mr. VANSIMTART (Chancellor of the Exchequer) rOse amidst the most enthusiastic testimonies set sp. probation. He adverted generally to the laudable object of the Institution, and observed that no time could be more usefully employed, either in behalf of individuals, or the country, than that which was be. stowed in diffusing a knowledge of the sacred writings. It was a labour that would call doe% that hkeing frosts heav e n. under which thine might prosper; and he trusted that the would be brought to a successful issue, declaring at the same time his determination• to give it every sup port in his power. He concluded by moving thanks to the Lord Mayor. This motion was seconded by Mr. Martin, in as able speech, and carried unanimously. Mr. Tuoaerov jun. iu an eloquent speech, pro. posed thanks to the Vice Presidwits. He considered the principles of this society so good, and its fours. dation so sure, that there was no principle 'of death about it. He thought that the 66 este liselittua" plied to it as strongly as to any human instituzions and he thought it would outlast cun the hall in which they were assembled, or the celebrated pyrao mids of Egypt, which had lasted so many ages. He thought, that in the present times, they could boast, in their Secretary, of a man no less indefatigable than the celebrated Mr. Howard, in his exertions to Td o good. He was convinced, that not only in Swe den, but in Spain and Portugal also, the exertions 04 this Society would do much to conciliate the see. lions of the people to this country. What could bi More grateful to our renowned General in that coun try, than to see, that while he was administering 'comfort and healing to his sick and wounded', others were as anxiously labouring to administer spiritual comfort and consolation to the dyj•de ? After many general observations on the importance of the Society, be proposed his resolution of thanks. This motion having been seconded, and ably sup. ported by a number of Gentlemen, was also carried unanimously, and with acclamations. Alderman ScnoLat, and some other of the Vice- Kesidents named, returned thanks, and expressed sentiment! highly favourable to the object of the Meeting. The name of the Cniorceetoe of the EtcrszQuan was then added to the list of Vice-Presidents, and that Gentleman returned his thanks. Alderman WOOD stated, `that then he served in the office of Sheriff, he found among the prisoners in the different jails of this city, many who very thank fully received the present of a Bible, and appeared very anxious for religious instruction. If any of those men became reclaimed by the Bible, and after. 1 wards were useful members of society, surely that alone would be equivalent to all that could be sub. scribed, even if it amounted to £lO,OOO a-year. A great number of other Gentlemen, principally Clergymen, also aareesed the meeting on the sub. Ject, and the assembly seemed generally persuaded of the importance of the object which was proposed to them. Thanks having been unanimously voted to the Lord Mayor, both for the support he had formerly given the Society, and for his now presiding at the Meeting, and lending them the Egyptian Hall— His Lordship, in a short speech, returned his thanko,' and expressed his wannest wish es for the s uc ce s s of the Society, assuring them of his determination to do all that was in his power to contribute to it. The meeting, which was very numerous than broke up ; and a subscriptices wasintmadtstvli =wed rate tor forwarding tba object of 4. _ • _ _ _ ,
