Already 'the army of the centre has joined that of the Duke of Albs.l fera ; and those two corps, the movements of which I are combined with those of the army of the Duke of Dalmatia, have thrown evident uncertainty into the plans vf the enemy. The exredition under General Maitland, which landed at Alicant, and which hoped to be able to march forward, has been driven back ' under the batteries of that fortress by the army of the Duke of Albufera.

A letter from an Officer of the Ist division of the Army in Spain, dated the 7th from Valladolid, gives the following statement :.+4 l Our regiment, with part of the sth division, and Don Julian's corps, and the sth dragoon guards, marched in here to-day, the French going out at one end of the town while we marched in at the other. Our army was not greeted here as it was in Madrid, Salamanca, Segovia, and other towns, this place being strongly in the French interest—the French Officers having married into no less than sixty-three families, in and near Valladolid. , 4 The University, the Cathedral, and the Bishop's Palace, are very fine buildings ;—but even here the French have committed great enormities among their friends, particularly during the three last weeks of their return. A Junta is appointed, the clew consti tution of the Cortes is to be proclaimed to-morrow, and the oaths to be taken.—The country is fine, and there are many noble hills as you come near the river Douro: You pluck the grapes here as you do black berries on our hills, and we *drink wine as we do small beer in our country. " Our regiment musters 950 men in the field, which is mure than most other regiments can crack of in Spain. The bonnets and kilts of our men at tracted a great deal of attention, particularly from the Spanish lasses, as we marched into Valladolid,' Ithe pipers playing " O'er the hills and far awa."— At this time the French army was in full view, and scampering off. Here more even than in any of the other towns of Spain, the woolen are extremely fund of the French, who appear to have made prostitutes i of nearly the whole of them ; they are a most aban. cloned set. " Several of the men, whose wives and d.iughters had been debauched by the French, are in the ranks of the Guerillas, and inveterate enough in their mor tal hatred of their invaders. They attempted to murder 900 sick and wounded whom the enemy had left in their hospital when they ran off after the battle of Salamanca ;'and they would have coolly murdered these people in their beds, bnt for our interference." Yesterday, at half-past four o'clock, the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, and Lady DE CLIFPORD, left Wardeick• House for Kensington Palace, to dine with the Princess of WA LEI, and at eight o'clock they set off on their return 'to Windsor. Lady B. ASHLEY Cooprrt and Miss A. CULLEN SMITH, visited the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES yesterday morning, at Warwick-House. Yesterday his Royal Highness the Duke of CAM BRIDGE had ad audience of the Pruscz RESENT at Carl ton-House. Monday evening, after the review, the Duke of MONTROSE will leave town for Scotland., _ _ The Hon. General .C. W. STEWART, brother to Loid CtsTLERBAGII, is mentioned as the successor of Colonel PHIPPS in the office of Paymaster of the Marines. Orders were sent off last night to Portsmouth to release from gnat antine the /ETNA and HOUND, lately arrived from the Mediterranean. The CALLIOPE sloop, which arrived in the Downs on Tues Cay last from off the Scheldt, brings an ac count, that there are down et Flushing 19 sail of the line and seven frigates, and that • 22 sail of the line are now upon the stocks building. 'Extract of a letter, dated Baltimore, August 't:— “'The brig Ambition, 29 days from Rio Grande, sailed the 18th ultimo. Captain SHAW says, that while at Rio Grande, official dipatches were received, with an account, of a general engagement which had taken place between'the Itc yalists of Mexico.and the Revolutionists, in which the former were defeated with heavy loss." Monday night the Derry Mail Coach was stopped by a large party of villains, near Drogheda, who robbed the passengers, and carried off the mail bags of twenty-one towns. The guards behaved very well; they shot one of the gang, and did not surrender till disabled by a severe beating. . • , We trust Independent Electors will not fail to as-, sett their right to pass, on horseback and in their car riages, toll free, to and from the hustings during elec tions.

The Eighteenth Bulletin of the French-Army has arrived. It is a narrative of one of the most sangui nary conflicts that has ever occurred since the over throw of t e Roman Empire. The forces engaged were nearly equal—about 130,000 on each side.— The contest was obstipate and dreadful ; but alas ! Russian firmness end valour were overcome by science and skill. Driven at length from their bat teries, had they been contented to retreat unbroken, the triumph of the enemy would have been compa ratively trivial ; for he admits that at that moment bit own losses were greater than those of the Rus sians t but they resolved to recover their batteries, and became the assailants, exposed to the exterminating havock of 80 pieces of cannon !--displaying a degree of passive valour unparalleled in the military annals of the world :••••44 They stood for two hours (says the Bulletin) in close order, against the chain-shot, not daring to advanced unwilling to retire, and re nouncing the hope of victory." Marshal. NEY de tided their uncertainty ; he penetrated through the breaches which the cannon-shot had made in their condensed masses (a grievous want of skill in their • Generals, we feu, to present condensed masses to cannon-shot) and dispersed them on all sides. It is obvious, from the statement of the enemy, tint the Russians retired . in a stile creditable to their energies as men—we are told nothing of pursuing the fugitives, nor have we any of the usual flourishes csf 'annihilating the scattered and discomfited remains of their e , .lllmns. The loss of the Russians is stated at hem 40 to 50,000, but we cannot m ike the particti latsagree with the tt.tal. About 13,000 are mentioned as their loss in the field, and 5000 prisoners—making tc rther eighteen thousand ; nor can we di übt that the greater part of the five thousand priseners were wounded men. The loss of the French is admitted to have been ten thousand : double the number, and you will pethaps he nearer the truth. TheEipol mischief to be apprehended is, that the mind of ALEXANDER may be subdued; by this event. If NAPOLEON shall have also gaited this vic tory his triumph will indeed be great; but we in -1 Oulge other thoughts. The Russians cannot. tinder• value the advantages which they may proMise them-.

The Electien for Ipswich is fixed for Monday next, and the County for Tuesday se'nnight. The ensuing contest for the Representation of the City will be the most severe that has been known for many years. Sir W. CURTIS had a meeting of his friends yesterday, at the New City of London T 4. vent; and certain Resolutions were passed, tending to promote his interest. Sir JAMES SHAW'S friends, to the number of SOO, assembled at the City of Lon don Tavern, and passed similar Resolutions. - Alder man ATKINS is supported by all the shipping interest, and a great portion of the Merchants. The friends of the Louie MAYOR consider his success as certain ; but Mr. WAITIIMAN is busy canvassing in person, and is determined to maintain the contest. Alder. men COMER and WOOD are also indefatigable in their exertions among their friends. We were correct in stating that Mr. THOMAS re. tires from th& representation of Chichester, but it is not true that lte came in upon the Duke of RlCH moND'stinterest. Mr. DerRE was in the Duke's in. terest, and will now be succeeded by Lord MARCH, his-Grace's eldest son. Mr. THOMAS was. the Mem ber in the independenkinterest. - Mr. JOHN FULLER, of Rose Hill, has declined offering himself again for the County of Sussex. The Marquis of STAFFORD has gone hastily down in defence of his interests in Staffordshire, which are ....wreesee 4 assailed by various Candidates. .....• .iii o 1 1 1 Jersey The Candidates for Shrewsbury are, the Honour- 22 n .. * ° ' able HENRY Garr BENNETT, Liemenant•General Sir •• ROWLAND HILL (nominated by his father Sir JOHN HILL, Bart. at the solicitations of many respectable Gentlemen), and BENJAMIN BENYON, Esq. An active canvass has already commenced. The Honourable WILLIAM HILL retires for the present. The Candidates for the representation of the City of Exeter in the ensuing Parliament are, James BULLER and WILLIAM COURTEWAY, Esqrs. At pre sent them is no appearance of any opposition, as no other Gentlemen have yet started. Sir LAWRENCE PALK, Bart. has declined repre senting the County of Devon in Parliament.. No Candidate has yet offered himself. Dr. CRomprorr stands for Nottingham against Mr. SMITH and Mr. COKE. General TARLETON has issued an advertisement, dated from * Durham, stating that ill health detains him there, but announcing his intention of offering himself again. Three Candidates have started for the Clyde Di.' strict of Burgh., vie. Glasgow, Rutherglen, Dum barton, and Renfrew : Mr. - Hoverousr, the sitting. Member ; Mr. CasurELL, - of Blytheswood, the late' Member ; and Mr. KIRKMAN FINLAY, the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce of Glasgow.—Mr.' FINLAY offers himself on independent principles. Lord James O'BRIEN, we believe, will be opposed to the BURTON interest in the County Clare. There will be a sharp contest in Galway. We understand that Mr. WHITE has declared him self a Candidate for the County of Leitrim. As the present Members, Messrs. CLEMENTS and Lemming, are determined to offer themselves, it is expected that there will be a very warm contest. We bear Colonel BARRY has relinquished his in tention of opposing Sir Fulumucic. .FLOOD, in the o County of Wexford ; as, however, Colonel RAM is expected to persevere, there is likely to be a strong opposition to the present Members. • Lord DELVIN is expected to declare himself a Candidate for the County of Westmeath. The Hon. Colonel PAKENHAM and Mr. ROCHFORT will un doubtedly offer themselves again. Colonel LONGTIELD, we have no doubt, will be re turned without opposition for the Cittof Cork. Lord Forums has arrived from England, on his way to the County of LOngtord. His Lordship and Sir THOMAS FEATHERSTONE, are expected to be re. elected for that County, without opposition. Lord GLENTWORTH, it is said, will start for the City of Limerick, against the Right Hon. Colonel . VEREKER, who relies upon the support of the Corpo ration.
