We regret to *ste t that our blinister has returned from AmeriEs. lie sailed from New-York on the iirb oh as oar Readers will see by the following short letter from Portsmouth, received at LLOYD'S by Express this morning : Portassoutt, August le, I Piet Seven o'Cluelc. • Arrived the ATALANTA sloop of war, from New York, with Mr. Forma on board—sailed 14th ultimo. The Gs.z4wla ketch, with dispatches from England, arrived at New-York the day before the ATALANTA ailed." To the above we have to add, that Mr. Form has Dot yet arrived in Town ; but his Secretary arrived this morning at Downing-street. From the degree of credit that generally attaches to accounts sent by express to Lloyd's, the above liter, as might be expected, has excited no small degree of alarm in the city. But high as this autho rity is generally' deemed, we can state, and we do it from an authority not to be disputed, that the con cluding statement in the above letter, ig that the Gleam?. ijsl arkieed New red hears Mr. Ffurset tailed," is not COMM The Repeal of the Orders in Council was not town in America when Mr. Fon= came away. %accountable as it may appear, we cannot but mak the contrary atatemast as a fabrication for cdsurcial purposes.

" Amounts from Halifax to the Bth instant, state that Admiral Sawyaa had sailed from that port with twelve sail of men of war; and it is reported here that the American squadron is on the Tail of the hulk," The report of yesterday, and which came from tlymouth, that JOSEPH BONAPARTE and 7000 men had been intercepted and taken prisoners, by a divi sitaof the Allied Army, which had been sent for wird from Cuellar, is not yet confirmed. We think it probable that this rumour may have arisen froits the hopes that were entertained, that his intended junction with the discomfited army of MARMONT would be prevented by the prompt advance of the Allies. It was reported in the City this morning that dig patches bad been received from Lisbon, giving an Etc• count of another victory. No such dispatches had arrived when this Paper was 'put to press.

Vincent and Stroside, and Ensign Le htestirier are left at BA- We hear that Generals Fm, LustLer, and Don- 1 SIM are appointed on the Staff under t he Marquis of WiLLINOTON. - We are happy to hear that the services of General MOOT are likely soon to be restored to his country again. Some serious apprehensions were entertained about him, which we are glad to hear have been re moved. Generals Corstux and WAIN= are alsd both in a fair way. The 41st regiment is to have a 2d battalion; they are pow altogether upwards of 1800 men. The Duke of YORK informed the Officers of the 10th Dragoons at the dinner, atter the review on Monday, that he should soon want the services of the regiment. The 61st Regiment (General Hswires) expe rienced a much greaterloss than any other corps in killed and wounded, at the battle of Salamanca ' • the 11th foot, (Sir ClisaLes Asou.s.'s) and the third bat. talion of the Royal Scots were the next in succession the greatest sufferers. The Pansca's Regiment, the 10th, is not to have a man in it under bye feet seven. All under that standard are to be discharged. The 69d infantry, Sd battalion, which landed at Portsmouth from Guernsey on Friday last in two di visions, marched into Brighton on Monday, and are to be stationed there till further orders. The regi ment is not more than SOO strong, owing to a de tachment sent off pot long since to reinforce the Ist battalion in the West Indies. The following are the salaries of the principal offi cers in the Barrack Department :-- Pins Comminioner Secondand Third Commissioners - 1000 The Secretary - • Inspector Gen. of the Building Branch 000 of the Store branch • 000 for North Britain • - s 400 lamanca, and our daily marching forward in ad vance has prevented our hearing how they are get ting oa.

WatlizoTox, entreating care to be taken of them ; the reply Witli ei they should-be taken care of, but that medical as , sistance must be left with them." Some are of opinion that this victory will be the means of raising the siege of Cadiz, and that Loan WRILINGTON will "push for Madrid, as the pau of the Guadarrama, if defended, can be turned : and Madrid, being no mi litary point, would be ours. We are not more than 20 leagues from it. The people cheer us as we pass through their towns, and I do think they are sincere; before they dared not shew their wishes; at Sala manca I am persuaded they were in favour of the English, as on our success they expressed great joy. 4 , On the 21st I was in the town, and w;tnessed the distress the inhabitants seemed to be in. There were a great many Officers walking in the streets, and the Provost Marshal was going about with orders for them to quit the town, which alarmed them greatly—they began to shut their shops, anal many were packing up their furniture for Rodrigo. 4 , I am told the day the battle took place, (the 22d) Marmont sent into the town to provide billets The Commander in Chief is authorised to order any alterations or repairs in the barrack department, which are not estimated to exceed £5OO, but all esti mates above that sum must be submitted to the lima. sury before they can be carried into execution. Several Officers of the Royal Engineers have been ordered to proceed immediately to Canada and Nova Scotia ; and we understand that a detachment of artificers, &c. belonging to the same corps, are also to be sent to that quarter. for himself and staff, and confidently assured the in habitants he should be thew by night; and that he knew those who bad shewn attention to the English : There can be little doubt, (had it not been ordered otherwise by PnovinENct) if they had got into the town, it would have been plundered and destroyed. I have seen several who were in the town on the 23d, the joy manifested on the occasion is not to be de scribed ; and thine who had quitted the day before Captain Dicams, of the 12th Dragoons, killed at Salamanca, was the eldest son of the Lite Member for Northamptonshire. The 12th Regiment ,of Dragoons distinguished itself greatly in the late affair at - Salamanca. It was led on by the Hon. Cblunel t. PONSONIT and was for a considerable time in the hottest part of the field of battle. The Lady who followed her husband to the field of battle, near Salamanca, on the 22d July, and.found him among the slain, was the wife of Captain PRI& COTT, of the 7th Fuzileers. She is now at Salamanca with her two children. with what little they could carry with them, follow ing the baggage, returned with joy and thankfulness depicted on their countena,ttes." lumuntations.—.The principal streets of the Me tropolis last night, for the third time, formed one continued blase.
