I t appears by the Cadiz and Lisbon Mails of '6a day, from which we have given other ample extracts, t h a t the Spanish Government have determined to pr esent Lord WELLINGTON with the Order of the Tolson, (Golden Fleece) ; and the Cortes have de creed, that a monument shall be erected near Sala manca, in commemoration of the victory on the 22d of July, Upon the official details of that glorious event being read to them by the Secretary at War, they unanimously, amidst 'reiterated exclamations from the galleries, of 44 Long live the Natien,"— si Long live our Allies,"—passed a Vote of Thanks to the Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO, and the troops un der his command : and appointed a deputation to trait upon Mr. HENRY WELLESLEY, our Ambassa- dot, to congratulate him upon so signal a victory.— The deputies were the Marquis of VILLA FRANCA, and Cbwns TORINO, VEGA, IKEA/ 40N, and GALLEGO. .—The Marquis VILLA FRANCA addresssed the Am bassador in these terms :—"" The General Cones, site bearing with the most extraordinary emotion, the relation of the victory obtained by the Duke of CIUDAD Ronamo, in the fields of Salamanca, have resolved, that in its name, and that of his Majesty, thanks should be given to that General, the Officers, and troops under his command ; and likewise that we should, without any ceremony, wait upon and compliment your Excellency on this happy event, both as the Representative of the Great British Na tion' and as the brother of the great Hero who has Obscured the triumphs of the tyrant."—The Ambas. sadot teplied as follows I am above measure gratified by this attention of the Congress, and I hope this success will be followed by still greater advan tages ; and that the result of the whole will be, the touch wished for entire liberty of the Peninsula." It appears that JOSZTEI BONAPARTS, Cat of from all communication with MARMONT and SOULT, has Sal to join SUCEIET in Valencia. The expedition from Cadiz, consisting of 7000 lben, is represented to have disemarked at Huelva : if so, it is probably intended to co-operate with Ge- Octal HILL, from whom we may soon expect to hear of some important movement. The Regency of Portugal has announced its ioten- lion to maintain neutrality. respecting the war be tween England and America, and has forbidden the vessels of either from carrying prizes into the ports of that.

'I he siege of Cadiz has not yet heel raised ; but the intelligence from every other quarter of Spain is highly gratifying I " CADIZ, AUGUST 13. 44 The Castle of Nubia has been blown up by the trench, the artillery spiked, and all the powder and brandy destroyed ; the grain and straw were left un touched. The WO men who comprised the garrison proceeded to Seville. General Cruz ) with all his forces, put himtelf in motion on the lath, in the tame direction, after having detached a battalion of Cac.adorerand the Cavalry, tinder Brigadier Dotvnie, to pursue the enemy. The determination of the trench to abandon the whole Condado, gives weight to the report of Soult't inWnding to entire . ) , quit Seville. Very recent letters from that city speak of the eagerness with which they carry off the effects from the Cartuga, in the direction of Cordoba, where they•have sent off great quantities of baggage of every description." a CADIZ, AUGUST I 1). k By a dispatch from General Ballasteros, dated stithenes, Bth August, we know that the said General had defeated all the plans of the enemy, and caused them much loss, and obliged them to retire to Me • Irina, &c. ' The surprise,' he says, • etecuted in Osuna by the battalion of the General and the sec .tion of the 3d division ) commanded by Colonel D. 'Filipi Berenruer, was most complete. The first in .telligence its General and Officers had was the being wakened by the bayonets of my grenadiers, directed by the brave Crop:aio Vilarde. What gives greater alat to this glorious day, is the taking of a convoy which had just arrived at the said place.' " More than 600 mules, 300 horses, and a rich booty, are the truits of this enterprize. The loss of the enemy was great, its Governor killed, and up- Wards of 50 soldiers prisoners, exclusive ofnine Offi cers, the Governor's Secretary, &c. &c. acc. " It appears that the Regent O'Donnell has sent In his resignation—when after the expulsion of the Tarquins, the liberty of Rome was in danger, Brutus did not send in his resignation. General O'Donnell, who commanded at the disastrous action of Castella, may be innocent or guilty, but however that may be, the Regent O'Donnell is not General O'Donnell.

" CANZ, AUGUST W. " It is reported that 3oseph has marched for Valen cia by Cuenca, and that the Allies having left 6000 men in Madrid, are closely pursuing him. " In Seville 3000 waggons have been ordered to be collected. The indications which the French give of their intention of abandoning the Andalusias, are _numerous." The Cadiz Papers contain the Official derails of the unsuccessful affair of General O'DONNELL. • Our countryman, General Room with the Spanish troops under his'command, covered O'DoNNELL's retreat with great skill and intrepidity. SOULT has made a requisition for 4000 horses, from Seville, a circum stance which may be interpreted into preparations for a final departure. REPORTED DEATH OF THE TYRANT. FRENCH PAPERS TO THE FOURTH INST. BUT NO BULLETIN ! French Papers to the 4th instant have arrived— they contain intelligence from the Grand Army in the North to the 20th ult. stating the occupation of Smolensko by the French on the 18th, after two af fairs which were "brilliant and truly glorious, for the French arms." On the 19th there was " a still more fortunate affair," in which 40,900 men were engaged on each side, and the. Russians were of course de feated and driven back four leagues. Amidst all these details from the army, and they comprehend a series of actions which would most undoubtedly fur nished materials for a most dashing Bulletin, the Pari sians have nothing in the shape of an official statement, nor are they even told as usual that the Emperor " enjoys the best possible state of health." This silence of the Moniieur is strange—but not so strange as the following short statements in the minor French Journals.—Atter detailing the successes which ended in the occupation of Smolensk°, we have the following information : 41 PARIS, Am. 31.—T0-day the Senate had an extraordinary Meeting, under the presidency of the Prince Arch Cluncellot." " PARIS, SEPT. I.—To-day the Senate again assembled." " PARIS, SEPT. 2.--The Conservative Senate had an extraorimary meeting at two o'clock to-day, under the Presidency of the Prince Arch-Chancellor." The persons who conveyed the above Journals from the opposite shores to this Country, knew no thing of their contents ; nor, from their humble situ ation in life, are they capable of drawing any infer ences from the intelligenc of which they were bearers.—They bring a report, however, which was in enculation throughout the whole range of French coast from Ostend toDi.Tp.,,tn the 101 l iwing effect : " That BONAPARTE, having greatly exposed his person in the late engagements with the Russians, had been dreadfully wounded, and was either dead, or not expected to survive ; and that insurrections of a most formidable nature had taken place at Paris In consequence !" Vie should give the report as we have received it, unaccompanied by any observations, did not the! possible results presented by the bare anticipation of an event so interesting to the whole habitirble globe; irresistibly demand our exertions to shew the proba bilities at least which attend the reports ; and we are fearless of the charge of being over-sanguine in the estimation of those who, like ourselves, hold the hap piness of their fellow-creatures as dearly as their own personal welfare. We think it a fair and legiOsate inference then, from the complexion of the intelligence just alluded' to, that some fatal eatastrophe has at length aver.' taken the execrable monster who has so long waded onwards to universal dominion through torrents of . human blood, breathing plague, pestilence, and fa mine among all who opposed his murderous career. restrain hitri, if ite nought Lis pl'eitlide in Jib gall would retrieve the hontmr of the day I and we are hoptful, from the reports brought by the Gotten: burgh Mails, that the actions previous to the wimps tion of Smolensko, if not victories gained by the Russians, were at least such as to call forth all the energies of which the French leaders were possessed, 'tinder such circumstances, it is probable that a ran' dotn shot may have laid the Tyrant prostrated SECOND EDITION, STAR OFFICE, TWO O'CLOCt. FURTHER EFFECTS OF THE GLORIOUS VICTORIES or MARQUIS WELLINGTON. RAISING OF THE SIEGE OF CADIZ. Government have received dispatches from our Minister at Cadiz, dated on the 20th ult. They state, that the utmost bustle and confusion prevailed in the enemy's lines opposite Cadiz, and that they were decamping in great precipitation in the direction of Seville. Preparatory to their final departure, a Proclamation or Bulletin was printed and issued to the French soldiers. It is dated Port St. Mary's, before Cadiz, on the 18th August, and is to the fol. lowing effect " SOLDIERS-It is indispensably necessary to march, in order to revenge the misfortunes which have be fallen the Imperial Eagles in another province, getting rid cf what can be sold, and calling in the persons attached to the Army." The reported death of the French Emperor caused an universal sensation in the City this morning. The Change was crowded at an early hour. The Stock Exchange was opened at ten o'clock : the first price was 9 per Cent. for Omnium : it then declined to 8; ; at 12 o'clock it was B;—many buyers ; and offers making of 20 per cent. in the event 'of the report being confirmed. We hasten to add, that other letters have been re ceived from the coast. They corroborate the report, that some dire cal unity has befallen BONAPAP.TE, but some of them state it to be An ofection of the mind .--Insanity ! _ • THE KING.

HA MARKET THEATRE.--Saturday night Mr., COLMAN'S Comedy, Who Want: a Guinea ? was repre sented at this house for the first time, and was re ceived with an eagerness of attention, and an ardour of applause, which- the merits of the piece, and the exertions of the performers, were well entitled to. MUNDEN could not fail to be admirable in the Int moutons philanthropist, Torrent, and MATHEWS was resistlessly whimsical in Solomon Clardy. The house was full in every part, and the notice given, that the Comedy would be repeated next 'Tuesday, was re ceivvel with acclamation.—O'K LEFE'S ludicrous Farce, The Doldrutn, was repeated, and, as before, brought down stunning plaudits cn the exquisite acting of MATHEWS and MUNDEN.
