Dispiteber, of which the following are extracts and copies, have been this day received at Eart Bathurst 's 01Bee, addressed,* his Lordship by General . the Marquis of Wellington, deaf Madrid, 25tb, and 20th August, and Valladolid, 7th and sib September. Madrid, August 25. Joseph Bonaparte has continued his march towards Valencia, and according to the last accounts which I have received, his fear guarsl was on the 19th at La Rada. : e _• I have received a letter , of the 17th from Lieute nant General Maitland, who had marched from Ali cant, and was at Montforte. General Roche was at Ale ay, from whence Suchet had retired to St. Felippe; and k was supposed he was about to cross theXucar. General O'Donnell was, on the same day, at Yetis, in Murcia. The enemy's troops from Valladolid drove in Ma jor General Anson's picquets at Tudela, on the 18th. The Major General however still maintains them on the left of the Douro. • The enemy have moved a body of troops from the neighbturhood of Valladolid, consisting of about aix thousand infantry and twelve hundred cavalry, under General Foy, which, on the 17th, carried off the gar. . mon of Toro. They then were joined by a body of infaeuy of the same strength, which had likewise marched-from the Pisnerga on the Rio Seco, and the whole were, •on the 20th, about two leagues distant from Bene vente, the Gallidian troops, with the exception of the cavalry. which still remained at Benevente, having marched towards Astorga, The enemy had left the rgarrison of Zamora still blockaded by the Conde d'Amarante ; but I have reason to believe that they will relieve that garrison on their return from their expedition towards Astorga. By accounts from Cadiz of the 9th, I learn that General Cruz had returned to that port with the de tachment which had been sent to the eastward for the relief of General Ballasteros. Another expedition had immediately been fitted out. These troops had been landed at Huelva on the 14th and )sth inst. but the enemy evacuated and destroyed the castle of Niebla on the 12th. Madrid, Aueuct SO. Since I wrote to your Lordship on the.. 26th inst. I have received reports that the garrison of Astorga had surrendered by capitulation on the 19th, to the number of 1,200. General Foy arrived at La Ba neza for their relief on the 21st, with the detachment which I informed you was in march for that purpose; and his parties found the place abandoned by the Spanish troops, the French garrison having been car ried away as prisoners. Valladolid, Sept. 7, 1812. My Loan—Upon referring to my dispatch to your Lordship of the 24th of July, as printed in the Lon don Gazette of the 16th August, I observe that, al though I reported my sense of the conduct of the German brigade of heavy cavalry under Major-Qe neral Baron Bock, on the 23d July, I omitted to in clude the name of the Major-General in the enume ration which the dispatch contains of officers who bad opportunities of distinguishing themselves. I beg to take this opportunity of rectifying this omission, and of assuring your Lordship that the Major-General distinguished himself in the operations which led to the charge, and in the charge made by the gallant troops under his command, as he has upon every occasion which has offered since he has been under my command. From my personal observation 'and the reports which I have received since the action of the 22d of . July, I am afraid that 1 have omitted the names of many other officers who had opportunities of distin guishing themselves ; and in a case in. which all did their duty in a manner so honourable to themselves and their country, the limits of a dispatch do not per mit the mention of the names of all who have drawn the notice of their superiors by their conduct: I must however correct the omission of which I have been guilty in the case of Lieutenant-Colonel Arentschildt and the Ist Hussars of the King's German Legion, who were distinguished by their conduct throughout the whole of the day of the 22d July ; and likewise in that of Lieutenant-Colonel Elley, the Assistant Adjutant-General, who attended Lieutenant-General Sir Stapleton Cotton throughout the action, was wounded by a bayonet in the charge made by Major General Le Marchant's brigade, and had two horses killed under hint.— I have the honour to be, &c. (Signed) WELLINGTON. Valladolid, September 7, 1812. I quitted Madrid on the Ist instant, in order to direct the movements of the troops ordered to be col. lected at Arevalo, as reported in my dispatch of the Sorb August. We moved from Arevalo on the 4th, and passed the Douro on the fith, at the fords of Herrera and El Abrojo. After General Foy had found that the garrison of Astorga had surrendered, by capitulation, he return.. ed to the Esla, and marched upon Carvajales, with . ' ' a view to surprize and cut off the Portuguese militia which had been employed under Lieutenant.Generat the Conde d'Amaratue in the blockade of Zamora. The Lieutenant-General, however, made good his re. treat, without loss, to the frontiers of Portugal ; and General Foy tarried tiff the garrison of Zamora on the 29th of August, and marched for Tcrdesillas. I cannot avoid drawing your Lordship's attention to the conduct of the Conde D'Amarante, and of the militia under his command, in these operations. The seal of the militia of the province of Tras los.Montes in voluntarily serving beyond the frontiers of the kingdom, deserves the highest commendation. The whole remains of the army of Portugal having been thus . collected between this place and Torde. silks, we found their advanced guard yesterday strongly posted on the heights of La Cisterniga ; and I know that them was 4 considerable body, of troops in and about this town, As it was late in the day before our troops had crossed the Douro, we did not move forward till this morning. The enemy retired nom La Cisterniga daring the night ; and they abandoned the town on our approach to it in the morning, and crossed the l'isuerga, and blew up the bridge. They were closely followed by tke Honourable Lieutenant-Colonel Frederick ponsonby with a detachment of the 12th tlght dragoons through the town ; but some time having elapsed bttore the infantry could come up, the enemy could - not be prevented from destroying the tnidge. They then ;aged along the right of the • d ie Irtsoetra to Duna:, where their tear irlll proutl y bait this Goo night. ral Foy moved towards A sters, army of Gallicia retired ; and since,his march to d i e Douro, they have again advanced to the Esla. The Einpecinado has informed me that Gen era l Villa Campa had taken prisoners the troop wid t h bad been the garrison, and bad evacuated C amp after the surrender of the Redro. These amp s amounted to 1000 men, with two guns, and belonged to Sachet's army. -My last accounts from Lienteurd. General Maitland are of the 24th. Valladolid, &panther taint Mr Loan—.9inCe I wrote my dispatch of the 7 t h, have received a dispatch of the 29th from Link * ,isant-General Sir Rowland Hill, from Llerens, Which. place the General had moved in pursuit of*. troops under General Drouet. He fends me the enclosed letter from Coked Skerrett (already published), who commands d e British and Portuguese troops, 'which compote pat of the detachment under General Cruz, from wink I learn that the allies had entered Seville on diedyd s , I conclude that the blockade of Cadis is raki, as have received several accounts of the destruction o r military stores at Seville by the enemy, before she, withdrew their force from thence, but I baverectivoi no authentic account of the raising of the blockade. —I beg to congratulate your Lordship upon than events. I have halted here this day to give rents the troops, which have marched for several days. I leave the honour dec. (Signed) Wituutozse. ADMIEALTY•OFFICE, SgP rEMBER 24.

Crokar, Esq. Whilst proceeding, in pursuance of your orders of the 21st instant, last evening . at sunset, thick hazy weather, Beachy Head bearing N. by W. distant seven or eight miles, I observed in the S. S.

I instantly made all sail fee their protection, and, after a short but anxious chace, succeeded in capturing le Courier, French logger privateer, of 14 guns and 50 men, commanded by Mr. Juan ; and belonging to Calais, The French Captain, and two of the crew, were desperately wounded before they surrendered. The other kg. ger, named Plionorine, of equal force, having got at a great distance whilst securing the one I boar and dark night coming on, I am sorry it was not is my power to capture ; but I completely drove ha off the coast, and I have every reason to believe thg the three vessels they were in chace of, escaped.

" Lieutenant-General Count Wittgenstein hit transmitted the following Report to his Imperial Majesty, dated the 7th (i9th ) August, from the lage of Beloje, near Polotsk " I have °already had the beppiness, on the Sln July (12th August), to report to your Imperial Majesty, from the village of Osweja, that after the second defeat which I gave Marshal Oudinot, on de 29th July (August 10th), he made a rapid retre4 during which he had daily skirmishes with my "AO guard. But having received fresh reinforcement; he made a stand before Polutsk ;—I was, there* under the necessity, on the sth (17th August), gave him battle, in order to drive him into ha ea. trencbments. In.this battle, which lasted 14 how% the enemy sustained a very severe loss, and shav wards retreated into his entrenchments -66 The loss an our side amounts to about two** sand men in killed and wounded. During t he eh * tune of the enemy's retreat, and in the battles made upwards of two thousand prisoners. Whilst" remained with the corps close to Polock, I Tale.

Meanwhile My ahal Oudinot had, exclusive of the reinforcement Davarian troops under the command of Gourd ' rede, received a further reinforcement of the renal troops, under the command of General Dere, then, at four o'clock in the afternoon of the 61b (184 inst. attacked me at all points, with five divisions infantry ; commencing the attack with a most her. cannonade from all lus artillery.
