CADIZ MAIL. OFFICIAL ARTICLE. The Chief of the Staff of the Second and Third ?only has remitted the following Order of the Day: " Head-quarters, Prihuela, June 20,1812. a Field Marshal D. J. Duran has informed the General in Chief ad interim, from Cintruenigo, under date of 9th May, that the preceding night, the divi sion under h;s command took the city of Tudela, garrisoned with from 800 to 1000 infantry, and supported by a division of 3000 infantry and '7OO inrse, under the orders of Generals Abbi and Pan natur, who were at Egea de los Caballuos, six leagues &war. The assault was carried into execution at TWO points, viz. by the Carmen Descalzo, with the Reoja Battalion, six companies of Numantinos, and the Light of Sorro, under the orders of the valiant Lieutenant Coke, J.

We stopped the press on Saturday, to state that all American vessels which had been licensed previous to that day were permitted to sail ; but the granting of further licenses has been suspended, as will appear from the documents published ia the Gazette of Sa turday. The further correspondence of Mr. MONROE and Mr. FOSTER, which we give in our columns of to-day, is an additional proof, if any mote were ne cessary, that the instant the revocation of the Orders in Council is known in America, all grounds of hos tility must cease. In the mean time, the Orders issued by our Government to bring in American ves sels are issued under such placable terms that little or no mischief can happen from their enforcement ; and a very few days, we have no doubt, will put us in possession of highly-gratifying intelligence from the other side of the Atlantic. We understand a difficulty occurred in the early part of this morning, at the Custom-House, in clear ing out the American vessels with licences, but we are happy to find, that no impediment now exists, and that American vessels and cargoes, provided with licences, have been reg'ilarly cleared, and that orders will be dispatched to the Out-pmts to release those licensed American vessels which are or may be detained. tile hostile metes, iceortut to itiotints from it t g i, dated 14th July. The Russians persist in their system of falling back. At Liebau, a large quantity of grain was thrown into the sea, and nearly all the inhabitants have left that place. Some letters say, that there are only three or fou' families remaining. " Cnunt Hohenloe, with about 40 men,, has been taken prisoners, whilst reconnoitring. es The first Baltic convoy, for England, is still in the Roads, having put back six times." " STETTIN, JULY 4. I We receive daily accounts of the excesses which have been and still are daily committed by . the French troops. It is asserted that in the neighbour hood of Konigsburgh they have forced the peasants to drag the ammunition waggons, there not being a sufficient number of horses obtainable for such pur pose; and they write from Instet burgh, that two peasants had been hung up by the feet because they I I did not give the French soldiers what they had not to give: nor do the Getman soldiers receive greater The HEARTY, gun brig, has arrived at Yarmouth from off the Texcl, with a large Dutch Indiaman captured by the DESIREE, frigate, a few hours after she left the Yarmouth Roads for the Texel. The Dutch vessel has on board a cargo and a great num ber of passengers, and was bound for Batavia, wllcrc they expected to find an asylum from the tyranny of the new French Regime. The passengers express no chagrin at their capture. Felled the enemy, pursuing them with the bayonet, to encicse themselves in the fort ; the reserve, with the Commanding-General and an escort of horse, pe netrated into the city by the Gate of Velella imme 7 diately it mas opened. The remainder of the cavalry kept encamped upon the heights of Loreto, till at last the greater part of them entered to support the infan try in case of nece.sity. a The result of this expedition, besides the great loss in killed which the enemy have experienced, has been to obtain possession of a rich city, in which was a precious train of besieging artillery, that had been brought trom-Baragoza, for the purposes, according toappearances, of being employed against Ciudad' Rodrigo, and consisted of fifteen cannons of a heavy calibre, viz. 24., IS, and 16-pounders, a 9-inch mor tar, two howitzers, with a number of carriages for cannon, dm. These and all the provisions have been burned, the heavy artillery rendered us;:less, and the trmainder brought away ; 91 prisoners, including two officers, were taken, and 86 Spaniards, with 10 officers of various ranks, two of them chiefs, have been rescued. Many muskets, thirty-two horses, two military chests, all the musicians, with their instruments, and other siToils have been taken, and the attention of the divi. Letters were received this morning by Govern ment, from the Coast of Spain, date.l on the €2. 7th July. They state, on the authority of intelligence from Benevente, that the siege of Astorga was carry ing on with great vigour by the Spaniards under General MENDIZABAL, and that it was expected to Lill every hour. We have also received Cerunna Papers of Oe 25th ult. They. contain a report, that the French, under BONNET, had been defeated, with the loss of 30d0 men. The following is another ex tract from the above papers : ST. VINCEN U DE LA BARQUERA, JUL"( 19. " Bmnet has been completely routed in Turtle sepas ; he lost 3000 men ; the remainder of his army was completely dispersed." " CORUNNA, JULY 19. " Lord Wellington will, no doubt, have already Altered Valladolid ; he is expected in Burgos, Lo grano, and Madrid, at least t 1 situation of the bril- liant English army leaJs us to expect this ; ISO° cavalry and 5000 infantry, were in Cashomont, three leagues west of Valladolid, with the orders of march is the direction of Duenas. praise." French Papers, with the Sixth Bulletin of the Grand Army, have been received. They bring down the intelligence from the seat of war to the 15th of July, previous to which date no general action had occurred. BONAPARTE, with his Staff, was at %Vilna, but his advanced guard had pushed forward to the Dwina, behind which the Russians were said to be concentrated, in order to give battle at Dunaburg. It is gratifying to find that they still adhere to the defensive plan et operations—the rapidity of the move ' mews of the French army may have, in some instan ces, partially defeated the precautions of the Russians, and compelled them to retreat before they accom plished the work of desolation so effectually as they wished, but on the whole, the retreat has been most masterly. Upon comparing the French Bulletins with the Map of Europe, our Readers will perceive that the retreat of the Russians has been so conducted as to leave the rear of the French army completely expcsrd to the att.lcks of the Cossacks, who are most formi dable enemies, as the French have more than once exp:!ricnceLl. IThe venerable Hetman of the Cossacks, PLATOW, 1 is again at their head, and seems watching an oppor -1 tunity to bear down upon the invading army in one of those " isw.:rm attacks," as they are turned, which have frequently turned the tide of victory in their favour. It is probable that the Russians u ill even allow the French to cross the Dwina unmolested, and continue to retreat before them ; for we do nct see how the projected expedition from Sweden •can act success fully in the rear, unless the troops are landed at Riga, from whence they can be easily conveyed up the Dwina to the szene of action. Marshal MACDONALD is srtted, in private letters from Holland, to have advanced t• Mittau, on his way to the attack of Riga, but it is added that he was unable to bring up his artillery, in consequence of the swamps' on his route being more numerous than lie expected. The account of his having been defeated by the Russians is evidently incorrect. Upon the whole we see no cause for being discon certed at the contents of the French Bulletin. A ions employed in persecuting the celebrated Espoz and Mina distracted. The triumph would have been complete, had not the terrible noises, occasioned by our tiring, awakened the enemy, and if the proximity of a respectable division of them had not pointed out to Duran the necessity of ordering a retreat. " After this, eulogiums upon different Officers, and a statement of the loss, which consisted of one Captain, one Serjeant, one Corporal, and four soldiers kilied ; and two Serjeants, and 14 soldiers, wounded.

The artillery which they had in Fuente del Maestre vas reMoved to Vellalba on the 26th, and on the 27th to Ltscgre. On the 27th, they reconnoitred the lines of Albuhera. Their artillery consists of eighteen and eight pounders, and six 6-pounder howitzers, which are already on their way to Fuente Cantos. XERES DE LOS CABALEROS, JULY S. The French, in number 12,000 infantry, and 2,200 time, are retreating, pursued by the Allies, 25,e00 strong. Many of the prisoners taken from the Conde de Penne make their appearance. Morello has made some prisoners in Zafra. BADAJOS, JULY in. The French in this neighbourhood are retiring upon the Guccielquiver, and General Hill pursuing ;hem,. On the 6th the combined troops had arrived at Zafra. The harvest in the Serana hes been so abundant, that, in many parts, the corn has yielded in the propor tion or eighty for one. On the 10th General Hill's headquarters were at Llerena, and the enemy was retiring by Fuente Ovejuna to Cardoba. CADIZ, JULY 14. The enemy's forces, ut,der the command of Gene eel Uncle Etlon, consists of 7,30 0 infantry, 2,000 cavalry, and 18 pieces of ca anon. On the 7th inst. ettr troops, under the command of Penne V. Morella, obtained, in Omackes, some advantages over the °lull, taking from them 9000 bushels of grain and !stile prisoners. General Hill had his head-quarters tn,, Llerena, and was still advancing.

" The Seventh Army has extended itself near to Victoria, to observe Carafelli, and support Mina, after having persecuted Bonnet, who, it appears, en tered Valladolid on the 6th, from whence he retired with Marmont on the 7th, leaving 4000 sick." The BEAVER sloop of war has arrived at Yar mouth with an Anholt Mail, and dispatches from Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ, in the Baltic, and Mr. Theirs- TON, our Minister at Stockholm. By this arrrival we are enabled distinctly to contradict all the reports circulated on Saturday, of a battle having been fought between the French and Russians. The latest accounts from Riga are to the 15th ultimo, at which time the Russians continued to retreat in good order. We regret to learn, however, that in many places they }Ave been compelled to destroy their magazines of corn ; but they have also contrived to embark an immense quantity for this country. The utmost activity continues to be exerted in the Swedish ports to equip every vessel for the, purpose of conveying troops to act against the French in Russia. The Swedes are described as being in the highest possible spirits and enthusiastic in the com mon cause. The report that General MOREAU is about to visit Sweden, is revived at Gottenburgh— indeed we can no longer doubt the fact of his being actually on his voyage to the Baltic, for we have reason to believe that every encouragement has been given to him by the British Government, and our Yesterday being the first Sunday after the first Sa turday in the month, agrual);y to the alteration ordered at the last Quarterly Meeting of the QUEEN'S Council, th.. following Bulletin was shewn at St. James's Palace: Jt Ly 16.—They write from Monte Video, under date of the 23d of March, that the Portuguese army, thich was in Maldonado, had marched towards Ca pella Nueva, Uruguay, &c. last accounts from New York inform us that Madame MOREAU had embarked for this country.
