The SPECULATOR lugger arrived at Plymouth on Saturday from off Sr. Sebastian's, with dispatches from the Marquis of WELLINGTON ; and yesterday evening Mr. Mutants, the Messenger, arrived with them in Downing-street. The Messenger left head quarters on the 11th instant, when the two hostile armies were . encamped within sight of each other, but no action of consequence bad taken place since that of the 24 instant. It would appear from the circumstance of the French armies being in sight, that Solna has made a forward movement with a view . to another attack on his Lordship's positions.— The fall of Saragossa, and the approach of Lord Mutant BENTINCK to Tarragona, are events which .must have a most happy effect upon Lord WELLING TON'S future operations, as rendering him perfectly secure in his rear. The following is a copy of a Bulletin issued by order of Lord Bananas; after he received the dispatches: BULLETIN. “ WAR D2PARTSIENT, 22d AUGUST, 1813. " Dispatches have beeii received this evening from the Marquis of WritaNc.i - roN, dated Lezaca, 11th of August. g , Nothing of consequence bad occurred in that neighbourhood since the date of the last dispatches. " The Poll at Zaragoza surrendered on the 30th of July, to General MINA. Above Five Hundred Prisoners, Forty-seven pieces of Cannon, and a vast quantity of Ammunition, Arms, and Clothing, were taken in this place. , " Lord Mutant DENTINEK was near Tarragona upon the Ist of August." 1-VIRACT CP A LLTTCR ranAt PLYMOUTH, DATED at:orsT filsr, 1813. " Lieutenant Bosioca arrived in the SPECULATOR legg(r, ith a King's Messenger, who has set off .Vain Dispatches for London. He left head-quarters on the 11:11 instant, and it is reported that he brings an account of the surrender of Saragossa, with a gar rison of 500 men, principally Italians, by capitulation, to General MINA. " Lord WILLIAM BENTINCK is said to have crossed the Ebro about the 25th, near Tortosa, with 50,000 men, British and Spaniards. " It is also reported, that SUCIIET has fallen back on Barcelona, that. Tarragona has been blown up, and that the enemy threaten to destsoy Lerida, as well as Marquinenza, both which places are still in their possession. Tortosa, containing a garrison of 4000 infantry and ISO dragbons, wit invested, we understand, on the 25th, by the Duke del PARQVE and Lord W. BENTINCX. 'Several Officers have come over in the SPECU LATOR, one of whom is the bearer of JOSEPH'S sword. It is, according to report, of the most elegant descrip tion, and is intended to be presented to the PRINCE REGENT. It was found in Joe's carriage, when he' ran away at the battle of Vittoria. 4 , Pamplona and St. Sebastian had not fallen when the SPECULATOR left the coast." In addition to the above, we have received letters from head-quarters, dated on the 12th, from which we select the following. At that date all was well with the army : Bivouac, in the Pyrennees, August 12, 1812. 46 I lately gave you a pretty full account of our most glorious proceedings on the frontiers of France. We have since got a little breathing time : but we will very'soon be at k again the deserters who come in, agree in saying, that Soma. is collecting every thing, conscripts, invalids; militia, and armed peasantry ; and that as soon as he obtains some guns, and mounts some cavalry, he will once more attack our line in all its points. ig We know, likewise, that he is determined to con tinue attack after attack till he wear us out ; for Bo- NAPARTE has sent him most positive orders not to allow the mcred territory of France to be defiled by the Nation of Traders, aided by their allies the Bri gands. But he will have some difficulty in making them come on a second time. The French troops in this quarter Are completely rowed. Their loss in SOULTPS Lite expedition has proved to be much greater than we believcJ it. To t' is time, r umbers of woun ded and half-famished men and officers come into our posts from the hills, and the number of them killed by the Spanish troops and by the peasantry is very great. It is to be feared they spare no Frenchmen who fall into their handi. The peasantry in particu lar are most merciless to them. ge The prisoners say that, including killed, wounded, prisoners and missing, Soma has lost nearer Thirty than Twenty Thousand men, out of 48,000, with which he started on his late expedition—.A very pretty week's work ! 4 , The French Officers say, that JOSEPH is under ar- I rest; and they' think that BONAPARTE Will bring Soma' to a Court-martial—if he do not, in the mean time, retrieve his fortunes by some desperate and successful effort : but of this he has little or no chance. " We have heard, and we all rejoice that there is to be an investigation, by a Military Tribunal, into the causes of .the late disaster of the army on the East coast of Spain. " We have, since I last wrote you, been joined by some reinforcements, but they are by no means suffi. dent. Many, many more must be sent to make up for ckur losses, and to enable us to resist the force that will come against us. We have received accounts of some favourable operations to the Eastward. Lord WILLIAM BEN. TINCK continues to advance, and on the Ist of this month had approached near to Tarragona. We have also good news from that active leader MINA. At the end of last month he made himself master of Saragossa. The garrison surrendered, in number above 500. A vast quantity of cannon military stores, and clothing, have fallen into our. hands." Nothing has transpired to throw any light on the probability, or the contrary, of the Armistice being renewed. The repor;s are extremely contradictory. Our opinion, as we stated on Friday, is that the sum mer will wear away without farther hostilities in the North, but it is only an opinion founded on the cir cumstances which we stated. In the mean time, we think it a duty to warn the public against giving hasty credence to the reports that may be circulated respecting this point, by interested individuals. In fact, great industry is employed to propagate and support rumours that have no real foundation, but which are calculated to affect the Stocks. One set of rumours asserts the prolongation of the Armistice to the llth of September, and sends NA POLEON to Paris, on his way to the Peninsula. On the ether hand, two Merchants are said to have arrived from Prague, whether in a baloon or by what other conveyance we have not been informed, with tidings that hostilities recommenced on the 16th instant. Another report states, that a Gentleman, who left Hamburgh on the 6th instant, brings accounts that a rumour had reached that place of the Armistice having been renewed to the 26th of this month; but other accounts from Hamburgh of the 11th inst. say nothing of the circumstance. As to inferences that may be drawn from the movements and activity of the different armies, they would be highly fallacious. Wise men never take what common men call chance into any of their calculations. While Peace remains unconcluded they always reckon on the possibility of an appeal to arms to settle the points in dispute ; and the Statesman or General whe would relax in his exertions, merely be cause the enemy has talked of Peace, would be fitter for Bedlam than for the guidance of the State-helm, or the command of an army. On Saturday the Duke of CLARENCE completed his 48th year, which was celebrated by the Panics RWENT at the Pavillion, at Brighton. In the even ing the houses of his Royal Highness's tradesmen were illuminated. T. PETERSBURGH, JULY 27. Messrs.

Along with the Prussian volunteers, under Major Lutzow, were also Tyroleze, and among them An- drew Hoffer, son of Andrew Hoffer, who was shot ; as also Henry Palm, son of the bookseller Palm, who was shot at Erlangin. STOCKHOLM, AlkitYST-6. According to accounts from Stralsund, of the 23d of July, the Crown Prince enjoyed the best state of health. On the 24th his Royal Highness intended to set out for Berlin, to review the Prussian troops that are placed under his command. His stay at Berlin will be about four or five days ; after which the head quarters will be removed to Demmin. Two divisions of the Swedish army were immediately to break up, to take their position something further in advance. ELSINORE, JULY Si. Yesterday morning an English brig cutter arrived here from the northward, with a flag of truce. An officer of the row flotilla went out to her, and after having delivered to him letters or dispatches, she im mediately worked out again. At noon there like wise arrived a fleet of merchantmen of upwards of SO sail, among which were some Swedish brig cut ters and gun-boats, which went through to the south ward without coming to anchor.

Letters brought by the fleet just arrived from India, mention that the Company's ship Northampton, .was on her outwat d-bound voyage to l3engal,ordered froth Colombo to Point de Galle, to take on board the pas.' sengers and as many of the crew of the Euphrates, (lost on the Ist Jan. on Dondea-head, the southern point of Ceylon) as she could accommodate, to be conveyed to Calcutta. The Earl Howe had pre viously received sach part of the cargo as had been taken from the wreck, and the utmost exertions conti nued to be made to save what remained on board up to the beginnirg of March. It was thought an ex traordinary circumstance that the Euphrates had re mained so long in her position without going to pieces. Mr. Herbert, the purser, with a very commendable diligence, was taking every advantage of the circum stance to save as much of the cargo as possible, for the benefit of the Company and the Underwriters.— The Northampton, we understand, had not arrived ' at Bengal en the 26th of February.. PRE ARM?. Commissary General MUnRAY is appointed Chief Officer of that Department at Gibraltar. It appeals, by a letter from Milford, that the ves sels which lately sailed from Bristol fur Dublin, with the 3d Regiment of Lancashire Militia on board, have put into that port to wait convoy. The Irish Cbannel swarms with American privateers. • In consequence of the death of the gallant Colonel CADOGAK, Sir NATHANIEL PEACOCKII is ordered in stantly to the Peninsula, to take the command of the 71st Regiment ; and is now embarked with Lieutenant Cclonel JACKSON, of the 2d Foot Guards, and a number of su b or din ate Officers, in the fleet with the 7th Hussars. The Londonderry Militia, upon arrival from Ire• land, is to be stationed in the Kent District. A Captain and seven Lieutenants, of the 4th BAt tAlion, Royal Scots, are now at Sheerness, waiting a passage to Stralsund. Much does the gallant skele• ton of the Battalion of this Regiment, now i. Spain, stand in need of Officers and men ; And we have no doubt but the deserving remains meet with the reward of merit from the Royal Duke at the head of the Army, and his Illustrious Brother at the head of the Royal Scots.

DUEL.—Thursday morning, a meeting took place between Captain PERRY and Lieutenant LEADIR, be. longing to the Somerset Regiment of Militia, n w at Pendennis Castle. On the first file, Captain Panay received the ball of his adverb try, which passed through his right thigh, and lodgild in his left groia. It was immediately extracted, but very little hopes are entertained of his recovery. Mr. Len DER and the seconds have consulted their safety by flight. Friday se'nnight, in the Town Court of Galway, Richard Afartia, Esq. was found guilty bef ire the Hon. 13aron M , Clell.ind, upon the information Lime time since preferred against him in the Court of King's Bench, Dublin, by the R•ght Han. Denis Bres Daly, fur having endeavenrea to provoke hien to fight a duel. Sentence remains to be passed upon Colonel Martin by the King's Bench, in the course of next Term. ' ROBBERY AND MURDER.—An Inquest has bein taken on view of the body of the Rev. NICHOLAS WesTcostse, who was found murdered, on Saturday se'nnight, in a path-way, at a short distance from Winchester, leading to the Andover road. It ap.. peared the deceased had been seen walking upon the road, at nine o'clock in the morning : it was between nine and ten when his body was discovered. A be lief prevailed that be had died by apoplexy ; but on a more minute inspection of the body,sa violent bruise • was discovered under the jaw, which, it was ima. pined, produced instant death ; added to which, a soldier, of the 102 d regiment, of the name at Robert Glace, on the death being mentioned in his hearing, immediately said he had setn the deceased lying near the spot described, in the morning', but that h • did not attempt to disturb him, because he thought he was asleep. The impri hability of this story (it be ding early in the morning) with some 'other circum. stances, led to his being apprehended Upon his examination, he was called upon to acc unt fia- how he disposed of his time during the morning named ; which he gave, but it was afterwards falsified in many points, and the suspicions of his being tht• pe, petratnr of the crime, partook of rather circumstantial form. The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against him, and he was committed to the County Gaol, to take his trial for the offence. Mr. Wage. MBE was ' Rector of Barton Stacey, near Winchester, Vicar of Collingbourne, and one of the Minot Canons of Win. chester Cathedral. A watch and some money, wh ch he was known to have about him, were taken tram his' body. While Mr. Evans, cooper, of Winchester, was. absent from home, on the above Inquest, his house was broke open and robbed. • Mvanza.—Monday, the body of a male child, ap.. parently about - five months old, was found at the bot tom of a Lead Mine Shalt, on Handl) Mowitain. A woman was seen near the .spot on the preceding Sa turday, and suspicion falling upon her, she was traced to Chester, where she was apprehended, and on here examination, confessed that she had murdered it I and at the instant of plunging it into the pit, she staled that the little innocent smiled in her lace I—She was on Thursday conveyed to Mold, preparatory to her commitment to the county gaol. Saturday afternoon a child, three years of age, daughter of a poor woman who takes in 42.11;41 in Lambeth-walk, fell from a window on the second floor. Providentiaily a farmer's cart, loadi.d with straw, was passing at the instant, and the child fell among the trusses without sustaining any material injury. At Scarborough, the 14th inst. at night, a French man, supposed to be an Officer on parole, provided himself with a boat, and went off from that plAce.
