It might have been expected that the first arrival would have mined the truth of the reported victory gained by L or d WELLINGTON-but our letters are most con dictorl: one of them states that th e H ERMES was tra le days on her passage—were 'this correct she might bare brought news from the army one day later than the reported battle ; but another letter says, she was gi days on her voyage I None of the letters that we have yet seen report any intelligence brought by the gouts One of our correspondents informs us, that his Ma• dl's ship MAGNIFICENT (which arrived at Plymouth en Monday from the coast of Spain) brought a Sala spga Gazette, dated several days after the battle, glikb not only enumerates the particulars known b i ke, but adds, that General BONNET dud in that fey of big wounds 1 To this we have to add that a letter, dated Castro, brit I, from a Military Officer of distinction, at tubed to the expedition under Sir Hoses POPHAM, in the following postscript i , _ Yost have heard of Lord Ws Lir NGTON'S victory. We have )ad a Tc Diums and a- Fee de jeis here on the occasion this day.— Spaniards are all exultation. Lord WELL' MOTO is, in addl.. iss to his present Spanish title of Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO, ding have the higher dignity of Patent's DE LA Golan*, in esetraistinction to GODOY'S title of PaINCIPR es LA PAZ. This issekl he so much the more just and acceptable, as Lord Was.- steovon has opened a direct road to the deliverance of Spain by Ms victories, and above all, by this last and greatest; while G o DOY paved the way for its subjugation by the peace, which was made We ground of his creation." We understand that a private letter from Sir POPHAM, to a Mercantile House in the City, does not state that any British troops eilered St. Andero. Another Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning, brought to Yarmouth in three days. This extraor dinary quick passage may be easily accounted for by adverting to the state of the wind, which has. been northerly for these ten days past. We have but little sews by this opportunity. The following is the only article worth extracting from the Swedish papers : " GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 9. We have this day received a confirmation of the report of the city of Moscow having given the Em por of Russia 100,000 men to assist him in the de fence of the country. "All the large cities in the Empire are expected to follow so noble and patriotic an example, by which suns the army will be increased to an almost in credible degree. " Letters from the Russian head-quarters are una nimous in representing the unanimity and enthusiasm which pervades all ranks in the Rehlian army, and tcefidently speak of the eventual result of the great west. " The English packets have this day been allowed to come up to the town. " Accounts from the Prussian frontiers continue to announce the arrival of fresh French troops in that kingdom. Upwards of 9000 of different descriptions ha►e lately passed through Burg, and then& pro_ coded to Berlin." The HORATIO frigate, Lord GEOTME STVART, from the North Cape, has arrived at Yarmouth.— The boats of the HORATIO have cut out a French cutter and lugger, and an American their prize ; in which action, we are sorry to state, that they had eleven men killed, and thirteen wounded.—Among kilkd is the first Lieutenant of Marines and the Doctor's Mate.—The Prizes are not yet arrived. Two large fleets of merchantmen, laden with grain and naval stores, passed Yarmouth yesterday, from the Baltic. BY the Lim packet, which has arrived at Har- With with mails and passengers from Gottenburgh, we have received accounts that Lord CATHCART had arrived in Wingo Sound ; that Mr. THORNTON had quitted Sweden in a frigate for Copenhagen !—This is slngular-4a Denmark about to join the league against NAPOLEON and his satellites ?—The LARK Palled the outward-bound convoy, beyond the Scaw, tl well. A Ruuian Nobleman arrived in tbwn this morning aitb dispatches from the Court of StoPetersburgh. After holding a conference with Lord CASTLEREAGH, D owning -street, he proceeded to Count WonoN. *Mir in Portland-place, who it will be recollected *at formerly Ambassador from Russia. It is under- Itaki that the Russian Nobleman in question comes 1 0 make arrangements for the reception of Novo- Ill •Tz 0 /71 the Ambassador recently appointed to this country. I Mum:4Rem DUEL.—A duel was lately fought at Norfolk, (Virginia) between two gentlemen, who held the pistol to each others breast, fired together at liie word, an d b oth fell dead. The seconds imme chi* escaped, leaving no one to take care of t h e bodies. PRIAVE ;trans/PS datntr. Vesterday, about half past two O'clock, the Painca RECENT arrived at Carlton House from Windsor, Soon after three o'clock, the following Noblemen and Gentlemen were i ntro d uce d to his Royal Highness, and had the honour to kiss hands upon their respective appointments: Lord George BetegOrd, on being appointed Comptroller of the Household. Mr. Robert Peel, on being appointed Secretary a State tb the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Lord Jocelyn ' on being appointed Vi ce- Ch am b erlain.

Lord G. BERILSFORD, the Hon. F. ROBINSON, Mr. R. PEEL, Mr. W. FITZ* GERALD, and Lord C. BENTINCK, were sworn in Mem. bers of the Board. The PRINCE gave audience to the Earl of HAR• noway, Viscount CASTLEREAGH, and Mr. WELLESLEY POLE. The latter resigned the official situations which he held in Ireland. The Court did not break up till past six o'clock. WtNnsoß, Austin 12.—This being the PRINCE Rs. Birthday, the morning was ushered in by the usual demonstrations of respect. The Nobility and others invited by the Quasi, to celebrate the day at Frogmore, began to arrive early. The Dukes of KENT and CAMBRIDGE rode on horseback with the Princesses AUGUSTA and CHARLOTTE of WALES, at tended by Lords WALSIIGHAM, RIVERS, S T . Hz- LaN's, &c. The QUEEN, Princesses ELIZABETH and MARY, went from the Castle to Frogmore soon alter ten o'clock, to inspect the arrangements making for the entertainment. A cold collation and a great va riety of refreshments were spread on the tables in marquees and tents, which were pitched on the lawn for those who came in the morning. The PRINCE REGENT, accompanied by the Duke of CLARENCE, arrived at Frogmore soon after one o'clock, where he was received by the QUEEN and his Royal Sisters. A little after three o'clock the Royal Family left Frogmore, and proceeded to the Castle and the Lower Lodge to dress for dinner, icc. About five o'clock the QUEEN, the PRINCE REGENT, all the Royal Dukes, Princesses AUGUSTA, ELIZABETH, MARY, and CHARLOTTE of Wales, with the Duchess of YORK, left the Castle and the Lower Lodge for Frogmore. The Princess SOPHIA, being indisposed, was not able to join the party. This morning, about 11 o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT set oil to inspect his Regiment, in a field day, on Hounslow Heath. His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, and Captain FITZCLARENCE returned yesterday to Bushy from Windsor.

THE EARL OF YARMOUTIL—The French Paper which had accused his Lordship of breaking his pa role, makes the following amende honorable in its very next number.. To make charges lightly is the usual practice of the French Papers. The following is the only instance we recollect of their haiing confessed them to be unfounded : " In our last Publication we accused Lord Yarmouth of having violated his parole of honour. In that we have been guilty of a gross error. Lord Yarmouth, after having quitted France upon his parole, and returned with Lord Lauderdale, whom we have seen in Paris, obtained his release in order to return to London. We hasten to repair an involuntary injury, and to perform an act of justice which is doe to Lord Yarmouth. God forbid that we should ever employ the weapon of falsehood, even when we have to contend against the most bitter enemies of Frauce Gazette di Front& On the anniversary of the PRINCE REGENT'S Birth day, it was exactly 98 years since GEORGE I. was proclaimed in London, Queen Aram having died OD tile Ist of. August, old stile. THE AE MY. • Two Companies of Artillery are ordered to be prepared fot immediate embarkation for Barbadoes and Jamaica. A detachment of the 37th Foot, 200 strong, has received the -route from Battle, for Portsmouth, to embark for Gibraltar. The following reinforcements were, on the 13th, on their march to jr , ;it Lord WELLING-con, and must have reached him time enough to share in the battle: —The 4th Regiment, from Ceuta; .sth, from Cork, 88th, ditto; 42d, from England ; 600 Artillerymen and horses. The 2d battalion of the 9th, and the 82d, from Gibraltar. were also hourly expected at Lisbon, and, as they would be marched off instantly on landing, it is not impossible but that they may have also partici pated in the glory of the day.

On Wednesday last, the birth-day of the PUN CE REGENT, the first stone of the Breakwater, in Ply- mouth Sound, was lowered down. At ten o'clock in ' the morning two boats from every ship in Hamoaze attended at the Admiral's Stairs, Mount Wise.— About noon the Commander in Chief, Sir R. CAL- DER, Bart. accompanied by Admiral Sir EDWARD BULLER, Bart. and all the Captains or Commanders of his Majesty's vessels, in commission at this port, ' rowed off in procession, with flags and streamers flying, passing between the Island and the Main, and rounding the eastern end of Drake's Island on their passage towards the outer part of the Sound. The MAYOR and Corporation of Plymouth also went in procession to the Barbican Stairs, where they took water, and also proceeded to the Sound. A vast number of boats from the shore were scattered over the Sound ; and the ships of w ar w er e ga ily decorated with te colours of different nations—the Standard of the United Kindom flying over the whole. Towards one o'clock the boats assembled round the vessel that held the stone (about four tons weight), and in which were cut the names of Sir ROBERT CALDER, Port Admiral, and the PRINCE RE• GENT. Exactly at ten o'clock the Camel store-ship gave the signal, by firing a gun, and the stone wa s lowered to its base, a t the western extremity of the Breakwater, amid a royal salute of cannon from the ships in Cawsand Bay, between the Island and the Main, Plymouth Sound, and Hamoaze. To enable the public to obtain as near a view as possible of the ceremony, the Earl of MOUNT Encomium threw open the gates of his enchanting grounds, the eastern parts of which were crowded with the beauty and . fashion of the neighbourhood. The scene, heightened by.the beauty of a fine day, was charming beyond description ; the grand, open, bosom of the Sound, was crowded by an immense number of pleasure-boats, cutters, barges, &c. filled with admiring beholders, amongst whom were some highly respectable characters; the men of war, in commemoration of the natal day of our August PRINCE, bearing the Royal Standard at the main, were dressed with all the beauty which the numerdus and variegated flags can give them, and formed a pleasing picture, surroundetras they were by the numberless parties sailing around them. The long ramparts of the Citadel facing the sea, the enchanting Hoe, and the extensive and command ing heights on each side the Sound, were crowded with beauty, fashion, and a rejoicing multitude of loyal people, who vied with each other in expressing their satisfaction at the commencing of an undertak ing which ultimately will so much tend to the im provement of this Port and to the•security of the Bri- . tish Navy. Admiral Sir ROBERT CALDER "gave a sumptuous dinner, after the business of the day was over, to which the Admirals and all the Naval Captains and COM. manders in the neighbourhood were invited. We have the satisfaction to say that we have heard of so accidents. I ~ •rrip• -• :••••' : t • • LIVERPOOL. I ASCENT OF MR, SADLER. Wodoesday Afternoon, August 1L This altetnoon the itthabha f i ts o f t hi s tow n were gratified With the lonpexpeeted ascent of this Irene. rat le and intrepid aeronant. Several hours before the time fired for the ascension, crowds of people had occupied all the lanes and avenues leading to the ground, which was a convenient enclosed field, neat • St. Domingo, about a mile and a half fr.'m the town. At twelve the town was nearly deserted, and tips shops being almost universally shut, it wore the Aspect of a Sunday, but with scarcely a person in the streets. To such a complete solitude the town, it mat be con fidently said, was never before reduced, on any oc casion. The balloon was inflated within the enclosed area, which was partitioned off into three divisions, for the admission of spectators, at fixed prices. Here upwards of two thousand persons were assembled s' but the number of persons in the adjoining lanes and fields it is impossible to compute. An assemblage so vast, perhaps, was never before collected in this neigh. bourhood. The operation of filling the balloon corn. menced about ten o'clock, in which Mr. Sadler was greatly assisted by the scientific skill and the activity of Mr. Peter Clare, of Manchester. The gentlemen forming the Committee of Superintendence also con tributed their exertions. After the balloon was inflated, the car was attached to it, and Mr. Sadler placed himself in his airy vehi cle amidst the acclamations of the spectators. Tit* Gentlemen surrounding the car then shook his baud, and the magnificent machine surmounted the walla of the area, and became visible to the multitudes en the outside. As usual, the aerial travelkr was sa luted with hearty bursts of nuzzas from innumerable voices, and the compliment was returned by the Mao scant waving of a flag, alternately on each side the care The ascent, whic.l took place at half-past two, wad sublime; not rapid, but deliberate and graceful; ex. hibiting the beautiful proportions of the whole vehicle, and the decorations of the car. So hesitating was the ascent, that the spectators were gratified by the balloon hovering over them at a very low elevation for a considerable time, after which it gently eipa- ' tiated into the immensity of space. The wind took the aeronaut in a south-east direction towards Knows. ley Park ; but as it was not Mr. Sadler's intention to travel far, he attained his highest altitude in about twenty minutes, at which tim e t h e b a ll oon i tse lf was reduced to i'very diminutive size and the car was totally invisible. In his ascent the traveller poured out one of his bags of sand, and the stream of white. particles &tiring in the sun in its descent h.id a pretty effect. The sky being cloudless, the reflection of the sun upon the varnished silk and banners was also pleasing. It would have added to the interest of the spectacle had a few light clouds been fliting through the fields of air in the track of the balloon; but the gratification was too great in fact to allow us to call in the aid of fancy to picture an ideal which might have been more so. In about 20 minutes the approach of the balloon to the earth was apparent, and the descent was gradual and majestic, till on a very near approach to the earth, more ballast was thrown out, when the balloon again ascended, but quickly resumed its downward motion, and we lost sight of it amongst the trees, in the direc tion of West Derby, and we suppose the actual de scent to have taken place in the neighbourhood of Knowsley Park, and about four miles from the place of ascent.—Liverpool Courier. HAYMARKET THEATRE.--Mr. TALBOT last night made his third appearance to a crowded and elegant audience, in the arduous part of the Dods Aroma, in the Honey-moon, and, from the highly flattering re• ception which he met with on his entrance, and the general approbation which he received through the entire of the character, we no longer hesitate in pro. nouneing, that this gentleman bids fair to stand for ward on our Stage as a favourite of the first class.--e The character of Rolando was sustained by JoNas in his best manner. Juliana was admirably performed by Mrs. Guam, and Miss De CAMP gave fresh and strong indications of an improving genius in Zamora. —The Farce was The Sleep Waller, and the House was in every part full. MASQUERADE.—Last night the elegant little Gar. dens fitted up at Millbank under the denomination of the New Rantlagh, were thrown open to the amateurs of this species of amusement. Numerous groups of well-supported characters made their appearance at an early hour, and contributed greatly to the mirth of th• company, which was select and fashionable. Among the masques we noticed two " lean and slippered Pan. taloons," which were uncommonly well supported. One or two countrymen out of place were also very happy in their imitations of the Yorkshire dialect. A gang. of Banditti also contributed effect ua lly to t h e variety of the scene—the contributions which they levied .were cheerfully granted in consideration of their wit and humour. Chinmepsweeps, Fortune. tains, Ballad-singers, Harlequins, Clowns, and Watchmen, were. as usual numerous, and upon the whole the entertainment went off with Wise. The company did see separate until an early hour this morning. A Learned Judge, who presided at a late trial, happening to be dissatisfied with the verdict, asserted that it was wrong, as clearly as 2 and 2 make " It may be so, my Lord," replied one of the Jury; " for, in some situations, 2 and 2 make 221" A fellow, who a few days ago was committed for stealing boots, upon the evidence oT an accomplice, being asked by the Magistrate what induced hish-t• commit such a crime, answered, pointing to the ee. complice--"-Why, please your Worship, I leo* never have stolen a boot, if that there thief had set :ported me to it."
