IP wee on their lone% *mild strewth bettmne alsrey to -he rapacity of the troops which escorted them. 1 o Many were robbed by their escort bet oe they I . o thalf a league from Madrid. In fine, they uepar.t ;14 a t ten in the morning, covered with disgrace and I m thnuns ; and accompanied by the public execro don and their own remorse. The populace of this ! ca pita were the joyful spectators of this caravan dad distinguished themselves hyaltsir prudence and oo nquillity ; aid with a noble generosity even pitied t h e misfoounes of those who Lao su grossly insulted ' ol d oppressed them. AuOt 11.—Arrihas and Aguelo, Ministers of Police to the pretended King, came to Madrid on t h e toth o s t he former with a large escort, and the l atter accompanied by three soldiers of M anco ' s .— Both went off at five in the mornin g of this day, with the r emainder of the French troops. It is said that t h e object of their coming was to burn c e rta i n irto save some effects which in the hurry s t o r retreat they had neglected to carry away. If AUgUSt It —The French garrison shut itself up in the Retiro. From this time the shops were open ed, which had been shut up for two days, from the fear which all had of the proceedings of the French en similar ()evasions of contusion ; and this capital toga to respires after the slivery by which they had been oppressed. The inhabitants giving themselves up to their joy, manifested .by their language and embraces all that flame of patriotism which they had been so hug obliged to conceal. " In the afternoon the allies began to enter, and froth that time the public joy knew no bounds. sr The people of Madrid seemed one single family. Friends, known and unknown, without difference of age, sex, or condition, conversed and embraced, giv. lag mutual pledges of the liberty they had so anti. btoly panted for. The arrival of the first English, Spanish, and Portuguese officers and soldiers otised this joy to the highest pitch. Never did any people Manifest with so much cordiality and energy their 4ratitude to their deliverers. During this and the following drys, the accian3ations and viva: which hailed the conquerors of Salamanca, never ceased one Minute. The troops of the three nations and the inhabitants of this great city, embraced each other, without distinction, and appeared, what they really M I a nation of brothers. The doors of all the houses were seen instantly adorned, as if by enchantment ; and every thing contributed to prove that the inhabi tants considered this d.,y as tis Aurora of Liberty. 6 ' Brave and generous Allies ! you met not with at Madrid, the solemn pomp due to your triumph, but the people manifested to you their heart—that heart as constant in adversity, and firm in its resolu tion. as tender and feeling in its gratitude ! is August IS.--At six in the evening the Retiro war blockaded and invested. On this day wap pro claimed, by order of his Excellency the Duke of Ciu dad Rodrigo, the Constitution formod by the Gene ral and Extraordinary Cortes of the kingdom, Don Caries de Espana, Governor of this capital and its fitorince, and Marshal Miguel Aloy d s p , presiding at the Act. The (=course of people was immense, tad appeared to have multiplied the inhabitants of the capital, which had been reduced to less than a third. This ceremony war performed amidst the roar Of the enemy's cannon, who made their last efforts tit defend the inclusure of the Retiro ; and we thus say, that at the same time we heard the last groans of oppression, and the first voice of independence— we saw ourselves freed from the horrid and black load of disgrace, at the same instant as appeared to our eyes the luminous torch of ourlelicity. " 0 happy day I 0 certain presage of our future •Ifelicity ! 0 warriors of Albion, of Lusitania, and tatted Spain, by you we are free ! 0 fathers of the country, by you we are happy. " Augu t 14.—The Retioi surrendered at noon, at the time when the scaling ladders were preparing for an ass iult. The garrison, consisting of 1900 men, marched out prisoners; near 200 pieces of artillery, 20,000 muskets, and other effects, were found in it. At the same time oe cannot omit the lively wish which the people manifested to again occupy this new Bastile, where French cruelty sacrificed so many victims ; but the people were prudent and moderate; and wished to avoid the sad recollection of their dis. grace with the sight of their oppressors. On this one day, in virtue of the Royal - Decree of the Re gency of the Kingdom, the swearing to the Consti tution of the country took place Id all the parishes of this capital. " The Council of this capital wishing to offer the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo a proof of their gratitude, determined to entertain him with a magnificent ball. The numerous and enlightened concourse who as sisted at it, the decorations of the ball, the abundance of the wines, fruit, &c. the order and urbanity of all, and the presence of the General of Europe, offered a picture worthy of admiration, even to those more accustomed to those scenes." 7 ROCLAHATION OF GENERAL ALAVA TO THE SPANISH SOLDIERS UNDER JOSEPH'S COLOURS. " /lead-Quarters of the Anglo•Hispaso Portuguese Army, July 29,1812. ". The General and Extraordinary Cones of the nation wishing to celebrate the political constitution of the Monarchy, have decreed a general pardon to all Spanish military men, of whatever rank they may he, and who are in the service of the tyrant, upon their abandoning it, and presenting them selves to the Spanish Chiefs with as little delay as possible. Being charged by the Supreme Government to the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, I judge it my duty to make you acquainted 'with the favourable disposition of our legitimate Go vernment, in order that you may take advantage of it, and return into the bosom of your beloved country, kind the estimation of your countrymen. The moment is most opportune. The enemy cannot much longer support themselves in the interior of the country, and in retiring from our frontiers your fate is decided ; you are going to perish in the war of the North. " Your country, brothers, friends,- are greatly of tended by your infamous desertion; and you will give rite to a new war, unlest you accept of the offers of the Proclamation. Hasten, then, to present' yourself to the Spanish Authorities, or the advanced posts of the Allied Army ' • and in this manner you will cause your fault s t o be forgotten, by shewing that your heart was Spanish, *hough your exterior deportm ent gave reason for &Owing it. You shall be paid for the arms and of es military articles you bring." In cpnsequence of this Proclamation, many of those soldiers have already made their appearance. SHE` EVENING . LONDON.

We this day give the conclusion of the Address et the Minority in the American Congress to their Coil. stituents ; and we cannot help once more adverting to it, as one of the ablest refutations of the calumnies thrciwn out against Great Britain by the French and their partizans in America, that ever came from the Press of a free Country. We think we may now safely prognosticate, that there can be no hope of Peace or prosperity for the United States, until die men now in power atWashington are dismissed from office, and the Federalists, whose enlightened views are now fully before the world, resume the exercise of their political influence i n the Councils of their distracted and, we fear, devoted country. A de. mand, far beyond our means of answering, having been made for the STAR of yesterday, in consequence of the interest excited by the above Address of the American Patriots to their Constituents, we are happy to have it its our power to inform our Readers that Messrs. LONGMAN and Co. have printed it in the cheap and commodious form of a Pamphlet, for more general circulation. FIFTEENTH FRENCH BULLETIN. We have received letters from Dover, dated at six o'clock yesterday evening, announcing the arrival of a vessel from Calais, with a few passengers on board —mostly English. The vessel alluded to left Calais on Sunday evening. Before she sailed the Moniteur, containing the 15th French Bulletin, had arrived. The Bulletin is dated the Ist instant, and announces another sagnuinary conflict between the French and Russians, which we are grieved to state, terminated in favour of the enemy. We have not seen the Bulletin itself, nor do we know for certain that a copy was brought over in this vessel, though we think it highly probable;— but from the report of the passengers we learn, that after the Capture of Smolensko, the French advanced upon the retreating Russians, and forced them to another battle between that place and Moscow. The conflict was dreadful, and, according to the Bulletin, terminated in a complete victory on the part of the French. The Russians are stated to have lost not less than 15,000 men, including in that number 11 of t•rir Generals. The loss sustained by the victors is stated to have been only 800 killed, and 1500 wounded. The passengers by the above vessel farther report, that a French Commissary came on board just before she sailed, and desired particularly that they would state to any British cruizer with which they might fall in, that NAPOLEON was advancing with great suc cess and rapidity. Though we think it highly probable that the ad vantages gained by the enemy are, as usual, greatly exaggerated in their official account, and their own loss much under-rated, we should ill discharge our duty to the public were we to disguise our convic tion, that NAPOLEON has obtained a decided victory upon the present occasion. How many such battles he can afford to fight—how many defeats our ally may be able to endure, we are but little qualified to judge. But while • the Russians continue to possess sufficient equanimity and firmness, their cause is far from hopeless. In fact, the subjugation of such a coun try as Russia is impossible, if the rulers and the people be determined to maintain their independence. But the recollection of the way in which the last war wa s terminated, fills us with apprehensions that the mind of ALEXANDER may be subdued, and produce settle hasty pacification, even while the resources of his Empire and the hearts of his people remain more than equal to all the dangers with which he is threatened : nor can our fears be considered as entirely groundless, when it is recollected that Count ROMANZOPP, whose French predilections have long been known, conti nues at the bead of the Russian Cabinet. A ridiculous report was in circulation on 'Change this morning, that a boat from Holland was found drifting, in which was a bottle, containing the follow ing laconic Note Great Hero which was born in Corsica, now lies dead at Smolensk."—The language of this Bulletin is pure Cockney/ Notice was yesterday given, that no person would be allowed to embark at any of the out ports for Sweden, without first having obtained a passport for that purpose from the Swedish Ambassador in London. We learn by the Eclipse, lately arrived from the East Indies, that the Americans• had a number of ships loading with very valuable cargoes' at Canton, and others on their way home. The siege of Cadiz by the French commenced on the 6th of February, 1810, and was raised on the 25th of last month; a period of two years, sir months, and nineteen days, of attack and resistance. Mr. LEAR, late American Resident at Algiers, has addressed a Circular to all his countrymen trading to the Mediterranean, informing them of the bey's having rejected the American Tribute, and com menced hostilities against the American commerce. Miss A. POPHAM, this eldest daughter of Sir HOME POPHAM, has been on board her father's ship ever since its departure from England. Lieutenant• General Sir THOMAS GRAHAM has been presented with the freedoin of the city of Edinburgh, and of the town of Haddington. Atd I Pie, nir±LLldgket, . . 1 ... z„...., iktAiLs.

Saturday an accident, which fortanately was not attended by serious consequences, happened at Mar gate to Mr. Kinsiew, the late proptletor of the Itclal 1 Hotel. He was in the act of driving a very spirited blood horse, for the first time in harness, when the impetuous animal suddenly took fright near Draper's Alms Houses, from the appearance f a waggon team. He gallopped off, resisting all attempts to check his velocity, and coming in contact with a can, carried away the shafts of the gig ; by the concus sion Mr. K. was throwiout, and his legs getting en tangled in the herneis, 'hi 'was dragged down the HigleitreeteMitil the Bavithy . if Mr. Coex presented as a barrier to his furthilluiegreis. Every spectre tor of this 'illitreasing scene stipposed Mr. K. must be inevitably killed • - bit, providentielly he escaped wi:h scene inconsiderable bruisesa• his clothes were literally torn off his back. It was a most miraculous dehverrnce. Monday se'nnight, in the evening, Sir THOMAS and Lady AUCKLAND ar:ived in their barouche, -at Mr. M'KENzIE's Inn, Linlithgow, from whence, after changing horses and postilions, they set out • in their way to Mountriddle; and while driving rapidly along the High -street, the leading h rses of the carriage rode over a fine boy, son of a fl ix.dresser in that town, and both the nigh wheels passing civet his heed, he died in a few minutes. The situation of the child's parents is truly pitiable • having, about two years be. fore, another child killed in a similar manner by a cart. Neither Sir THOMAS AUCKLAND, nor his Lady, knew any thing of the fatal occurrence till next day, when he visited the afflicted parents, and did every thing which humanity and liberality could dictate to console them for the irreparable loss. The two postil lions, who drove the barouche at the time of the ac cident, have been put in prison at the instance of the. procetrator-fiscal for the county. MOST EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Sunday night a Gentleman, between 50 and 60 years of age, weft into a house of a particular description near t he Ad miralty. He had not been long there when he died suddenly. He had with him a small dog, of the ter rier kind, which immediately left the room. There was nothing found on the Gentleman's person to lead to a discovery of his identity. About twelve o'clock, however, lust night, three interesting young 'Ladies, of very genteel appearance, between the ages of 16 and 20, arrived at the house in which the Gen- Doblin .

Lord KEITH, that has been in Cawsand Bay refitting. The ships under the com mand of Admiral DURHAM, in Basque Roads, will come here as soon as Lord KE►rtt has tesumed his station. Dispatches were received yesterday from Sir JA Mat SAUNIArtrz, inclosing several communications trans mittei to him by Admiral MARTIN. off Riga. His Majesty's ship GORER captured, about the middle of Mast month, off Bermuda, an American ship and schooner which sailed from Baltimore with fifteen privateers, from 14 to 16 guns and 140 to 200 men each. an Officer just returned from Corunna, we learn with regret, that the once fine Naval arsenal at that place is in a most deplorable condition =- no stores of any kind are to be steen in the yard. The fine bacon, large enough to hold 30 or 40 sail if the tine, has not a single vessel; and is .. going to decay. In the harbour are only two sail tithe line, nearly water. logg'clj on the stocks are two rabuildiag, which are not likely to be speedily completed, as, except a few infirm old men, all the artisans have left their employ, and indeed not with(nt reason, as they could get no pay whatever without striking, when a few dollars wonld be given them, merely to enable them to exist. At one time the wages were 33 months in arrear. Similar disnrganization etists in the Duck yard establishment at Cadiz. Counter Order: of the Marching of the remainder of the Girard: for Spain.—At half -past one o'clock' this morn ing an express was sent to the Horse Guards by an orderly Serjeant, from his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, countermanding the marching of the privates of the Guards, which were to consist of 100 of the 2d Regiment, and 150 of the 3d Regi meat, to reinforce the army under the Marquis of WELLINGTON the reason assigned is, that the ship ping is not in readiness to receive them ; the quota of the 3d Regiment were this morning at the Depot in the Birdcage-walk, St. James's Park, furnished with their canteens, haversacks, Etc. for their use on fo reign service. Captain DTWELY, who was taken in the skirmish which took place immediately before the entrance of the allied troops into Madrid, has written home to acquaint his friends that he is in good health, and that he is treated with the greatest kindness by Jo- SEPR BONAPARTE, whose army he accompanied in its flight from Madrid. Captain DYNELY has constantly dined with JOREPH BONAPARTE, who always placed him at is right hand at table. All noir is piety at Brighton—never did the town possess a population more distinguished, either in point of number or of consequence. The inns, and hotels, and boarding-houses, are in full activity, and " bUlth " is the order of the day. Houses and lodgings are getting every moment inore and more scarce. Amongst the recent arrivals at Worthing, are— Her Grace the Duchess Dowager of Manchester, Counters Dowager of Clonmell, Lady Charlotte Scott, Lady Carnerie, Lord and Lady William Beauclerc, Viscount and Viscauntess Dudley and Ward, Sir Sitno - n and Lady Taylor, Sir Henry Dash wood, Lady Fielding, Hon. Mrs. Darner, Major-General and Mrs. Reynolds, General Mathew, &c. Arrived at Oman's Hotel, Edinburgh— The Right Hon. the Earl of O'Neill, Major-General Welder, Captain Rawson, John Hamilton, Esq Mrs. and Miss Haniiltoni John Forbes Mitchell, Esq. Mrs. Forbes Mitchell.—Set off from the same place, O. R. Rees, Esq. Mr. Bestride, Mr. Pitcairn, and two Mr. Olivers. deman died, accompanied by the dog. %They came in a chaise: from Richmond, where they re side. It appears that the dog, immediately after the decease of his master, ran off to Richmond to his master's house. As soon as the door was opened, he rushed into the apartment of the young ladies, who were in the act of dressing themselves. He began to solicit their attention by whines and cries, and his eyes turned to the door, as if to invite them out. Failing in this, he became more earnest, seized their clothes, and pulled them towards the door • with so much violence, that one of their gowns wits torn. This excited great alarm, and, from the intel ligence shewn by the animal, it was resolved by the young ladies to accommodate themselves to the dog, who continued to invite them away. A chaise was ac.,urclingly ordered, and the three young ladies took their seats in it. The dog led the way, with his beat almost constantly turned back, and his eyes fixed upon the carriage, until he led them to the house near the Admiralty, where hi t s master died. There they alighted; but how great must have,been their grief; horror, and surprise, to find that the deceased was their father ! The body was removed to the Lord I Cochrane public house._ Ann Moore, o; Tetbury, in Staffordshire, who has lived upwards of five years Without loud of any kind, is still alive, and in all appearance in ass good health as she has been for three years past. She is about 5Q ye..rii old. Mts. SIDDONS has purchased, at Southampton, the mansion of the late Colonel MORGAN, of the present proprietor, which she intends making her future re sidence. The 86th meeting of the three Choirs of Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester, for the benefit of Widows and Orphans of Clergymen, in the three dioceses, was held at Worcester on the Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, of the past week, and was most numerously and respectably attended.
