and with military stares to the utmost extent; lsut It is plain, that if they cannot, from their owx popula tion, furnish men for the ranks, we cannot--we ought not to part with our own. These rapers present no intelligence of moment from Spain. The route of JOSZPH BONAPARTE is de.' tailed with a trivial minuteness. He arrived at Bur- gos on the 16th ult. and was to reach Madrid on the 11:1th. He has adopted an afiketation of moderation, by parch aig some persons concerned in 44 the late disturbances," as they are called, but which can earcely for a moment deceive the brave and intelli. rot Spaniards. SECOND EDITION. TOTAL DEFEAT OF DUPONT. AND THE SURRENDER OF HIS WHOLE ARMY. STAR. OFFICE, THREE O'CLOCK, P. M. A Messenger arrived in town this afternoon at the Admiralty. Ws'dispatches are said to be of the yeast agreeable nature. Dovorr, according to the circulating rumour, has surrendered, with all his army, to the extent of 510,000 men, to the Spanish Patriots. It is also reported that Sir A. WELLESLRY has dis embarked and is within three days march of Lisbon. Since writing the above, we have been favoured with a copy of the Official Dispatches from the Spa nish Generals CAsrANos and TILLY to the Supreme ,Tunta of Seville,announcing the glorious victory over General DUPONT : " MOST EgRESE LORD, _ have the satisfaction to inform your Highness of the maple, victory which has been gained since eta Ilattle of Baylen. General Duroor is a prisoner ef war, with alibis division, arms, artillery, baggage, Ike. The remainder, who were not engaged in the salon, although they did not share this fate, are included in the capitulation, and obliged to return to 'France by sea, that not a Frenchman may remain in Andalusia. My Nephew, Colonel Don Non° An- errs GAON, will communicate the details of the affair ; in the mean time I assure your Highness that ;he gallantry of the Officers and Soldiers,• and their constancy under toils and privations are worthy of the just estimation in which the army deserves to be bald by your Highness, and of the confidence I en itrtained of their patrintism and zeal for the public 4atise.

The result has been similar to that of Baylen ; in one moment the Andalusans have been freed from the French arms. "The division of Dtn'orr with all its baggage, its booty, and all its Generals are prisoners of war; and the other divisions which occupy his Majesty's do minions, from the summit of the Sierra to Baylen, are to evacuate the Peninsula by sea.—This is the principal point of the Treaty, which General . CASTA MX and myself had the satisfaction to sign last night, And as we withdrew from the field at midnight in -want of sleep and rest, I cannot immediately send your Highness the particulars of the Capitulation, or of the events which have taken place, but trill do it as early as possible. 84 This most agreeable intelligence will be carried by the Lieutenant-Colonel of the column of Provin cial Grenadiers, Don Panno JEROMI, an Officer of the greatest merit, and who, by talents and courage on many occasions, and particularly in this army, has rendered himself worthy of any favour your Highness Illy bestow upon him. " I have directed that the oath of Allegiance to our Sovereign King FERDINAND VII. which has not yet been taken in this city, should be administered to-day, ' that Tr Drum should be sung, and an illumination 21-ide for three nights. " GOD preserve your Highness many years. 4 4 Most Serene Lord, " Count Ds TILLY. '' The Moot Serene Lord tb. President, and Member of the Supreme Junta of Spain and else hulks." The above Dispatches we. e brought to the Admi ralty by Lieutenant ALT of the Black Jock lugger. A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 2t3th ult. states the arrival of a British Minister at Vienna, sup posed to be Mr. ADAIR ; that he had a flattering re ception from the Austrian Minister, Count SvAmot4, and had had several interviews with him and the Russian Ambassador, Prince Kula/ux. Government has received dispatches from India to the middle of March, which announce the breaking Jut of a new war amongst the Seiks, in consequence of which, some powerful bodies of troops had been as .embled on the banks of theAttock. One of these had en Gut to pieces by the opposite party, in attempting penerate to Lahore. THE -GRAND EXPEDITION. Saturday five sail of transports, having on board the 4th battalion of the Ist Regiment or King's Royals, arrived at Harwich from Scotland, under convoy of the PROTZCTOR gun-brig. The men were expected to land to-day, and march to Weely bar racks. They are commanded by Colonel HAY, and are about 1200 strong. They sailed from Leith Roads on Tuesday last. This morning the e following letter reached us from one of the Officers : " Of the Start Point, August S. We have now been six days in the Channel with contrary winds every day, but this morning the wea. thee appears more favourable. " The rendezvous is changed from off the Tagus ; it is now off Vigo,. which is in Spain, near the bor. ders of Portugal. Fortunately, few accidents have happened, considering such a large fleet : I have heard of only one, the transport Ralph Nicholson ran foul of the transport Williams, and has been obliged to put into a port with five feet water. The Williams lost her bowspnt and topmast, but proceeds with the fleet, not being otherwise disabled." " NINE O'CLOCK, A.M. " The wind is now quite favourable, what little then is of it, but it is almost a calm." THE ARMY. General BRERETON his been appointed to the com mand of the Military District of Kilcullen, in Ireland. Brigadier-General GRAHAM succeeds General BRaKE TON in the command of Cork Garrison.

It was a hollow thing, six to four Plover against the field at starting.—The heat for the Sweepstakes was well contested, and excited great interest. The favourite, however, was the winner.—The Town Plate, for the want of a third horse, as on the former day, was not run for. Thus ended the Races here for the season. 1 1 Dow. —On Saturday, at Chelmsford, Jonathan Layton, Lieutenant Cane, and Lieutenant Nation, of the 95th regiment, were indicted for the murder of Brodie Grant, Captain of the same regiment. There was no evidence whatever but that of two countrymen, who saw four Gentlemen go under the cliff at Dover Court, Harwich. They heard a firing of pistols, and saw three return. On going to the spot, they found a man dead on the beach ; but they did not know the persons of the prisoners. They were of course acquit-. red i - but Lord ELLessoitovnit observed; that there had been no pains used to prepare this prosecution ; no Counsel had been employed. The county ought to make farther inquiries in such cases as these.— The death of a man ought not to be passed over with So little inquiry. Early on Friday morning, the town of Chelms itird was alarmed with the cry of fire, which, front the recent distress of the sufferers by the same c ala mity, excited no small degree of terror. It broke out in a stable belonging to the Greyhound Inn, near the Shire Hall, but it was happily got under in the course of half an hour, after having burnt down part only of the premises. The consternation that p re vailed was past description. It being the time of the Assizes, the house was full of persons who came upon law busines.4 The alarm was first given about two o'clock, and the lawyers were amongst the first to be roused by it : many of them ran to the place of devastation, and several banisters half undressed, were active in giving their assistance and their 4 , ad ' vies" for extinguishing the flames. The police officers succeeded in pulling down a large outhouse, which had been pitched the day before, and in Aiming the orses out of the stables.. MAMMAL 11VTELLIGANCE. PLYMOUTH, AUGUST 6.

The crew made for the shore in the small boat, and landed at Donaghadee before three o'clock. In the evening the Captain's body, with some diffi culty, was dragged from the cabin, through one of the windows with a boat-hook. FROM LLOYD'S LIST.

On Thursday afternoon la LOIRE, Captain SCROM. BERCI t and the Succus, Captain Avbcouon, arrived at Portsmouth from the Greenland Seas, where they have been cruizing for the protection of the Whale Fishery, off the White Sea, along the Coast of Nor way, &c. They were off Spitzbcrgen, on the 3d of June, when that place was covered with snow. They were surrounded by a number of islands of ice at that time. They went as far to the Northward as between 77 deg. and 78 deg. (which is only 12 degrees from the North Pole), and 10. 45. E. long.—They left the seas with the trade for the season. In the Court of Chaacery, Lincoln's Inn, on Sa turday, the case of ADOLPHUS v. Anoterws, came cn before the LORD CHANCELLOR. It was a petition of the City of London, to recover £.lOOO in the 3 per cents. It appeared, that a person, appre hended for felony, made over the stock, in trust, to another. He was tried, and convicted of the felony ; the City of London claimed the expences, and the Crown the stock, it having been forfeited by the con viction of the owner.--L-The ATTORNEY-GENERAL at tended on the part of the Crown.—The Loan CHAN CELLOR observed, that this case embraced so many new points of great magnitude, that he would not wish to hear it without the assistance of some of the Judges ; but he thought the Learned Gentlemen at the bar might make out a case to be tried by a Jury, which would relieve the Court in a great measure. He would wish they would consult together, and do something of that kind before next term, to which time he postponed the hearing of the cause. Saturday, in the Palace Court, a case was tried, Bishop, a horse-dealer, v. Salmon. It was brought to recover the sum of seven guineas, that sum besng the balaam of ten guineas, the price of a horse pur chased by the defendait, three guineas having been paid at the time of the purchase. The plaintiff hay ►ng proved his case, a defence was set up that Sal mon was only a servant to Wedmore, a coach mas ter ; *at he was employed by his master to buy a horse to run in the Bromley coach, and that this was the horse so bought—not on his own account at all, but on Wadmore's. This was denied en the other side, as Wadmore's name was lot mentioned at the time of the purchase, and the sale of the horse was booked to Salmon. Oa these points a verdict-was taken foe the plaintiff. , OMR,. COUNCIL CHAMAER, DUBLIN CASTLE, Aticttm tliS MAJWITY, by his Royal Letter, h.sving pointed the Right Hon.

DUNDALK ASSIZES, JUL .V Ste. MuiDEN.---This day came on, before the Ri ht Honourable Justice MAYNE and a most respectaules Jury, the 4; ils of Mout Pehter, James Ar• _n. Henry Porter, Ameish Gunnel, and Marino, fur the mur der. of David Forbes,"a serjeant in the 4cl Dragoons, or Scots Greys; by shooting him with a meaket ball. There was also a second indictment, charring them with shooting at lurid Hunter, 2. pr.vate in said re• gimeat, with intent to kill lain). Mr. MAcAEYNEy open e d t h e prosectitice with a statement of the facts, which will appear more fully from the evidence. Wm. IC ilparrick was first produced, who swore, that he is a gauwr in the Dundalk district; that on the night ofthellth June he left Dendal k, towards Ardee, in consequence of having received infc,rmation that a quantity of unlicensed Malt was there. He arrived in Ardee about three o'clock in the morning of the 26th, and in the house of one William lvlunkettriek he seized about 50 barrels of urliceusea malt; that in another house in Ardee be seized another quantity of about 40 barrels; and not having sacks sufficient to convey it away, he sent to Carricknaacross for theta, which he got immediately filled, and put on ca. 3 pressed for that purpose ; that as he was marching out of the town, escorted by a serjeant and twelve dragoons, he heard two shots tired from the right hand side of the road; going a little farther on, tie heard three or four more, one of which raised the ground a little before him. He could plainly perceive peeple behind the hedge, one of whom had a blue cc. t, white waistcoat, and a cross belt and bright musket. He also saw a tall man firing by himself, with a d.trk gun ; and on turning round, obseried the prison r Marino waving his hand, huzzaiag, Ste. and a num ber behind him following the cars. Witness and his party still proceeded about a quarter of a mile, dur ing which time he heard above twenty shots fired he could not say who fired them, nor exactly when Forbes was killed, as he was at the front of the party, and Forbes at the rear ; that seeing some wishing to get above his party, he rode on fast, and then waited for the cars to come on, when David Hunter, a dra goon who had been wounded in the leg, rode by him and fell; The firing still continuing, he was forced to abandon the malt. Thomas Symms, a private in said regiment, eorro borated the foregoing facts, and said that he was near Forbes when he received a ball in his break, and in stantly fell. He identified Pepper, Gunnel, and Jas. M'Clean, as being among the rioters ; he saw them come from the field into the mad, and fire up through his party; Forbes fell immediately; that when he fell witness wished to go to his assistance, but was prevented by the firing. continuing ; that David Hun ter was of the party, who, after the prisoners had fired, rode off wounded in the leg ; that M'Clean demanded witness's arms and ammunition; that he threw his pistol on the ground, and prisoner Gunnel took his sword. He could distinguish none but the three— the mob were huzzaing, icc. and at length carried off the malt. William Loughead, a private in said regiment, corroborated most of these facts, but identified only Pepper and Gunnel to have been firing ; his horse was shot under him. Andrew Marshall, a private in said regiment, said he saw three men rush out, but could only identify M'Clean as having fired ; he saw Marino (on Forbes's falling) huzza and shout. William Young, a private in said regiment, iden tified Pepper and Gunnel. David Hunter, a private in said regiment, said he was wounded in the leg by a ball fired from the ' mob ; could identify none. Robert Wilkins, a private in the Louth Militia, said he knows all the prisoners ; saw Pepper and Porter at the end of the town, armed ; in a few mi nutes after, From the direction they took, he heard two shots fired. Thomas Phillips, a private in die Scots Greys; corroborated the former evidence, and identified Gunnel and Pepper, who forced him away when he was endeavouring to assist or carry off Forbes. Here the prosecution closed. Several witnesses were produced for the prisoners, but they did not prove any thing material ; they went chiefly to prove some doubts and contradictions the soldiers expressed on their former examinations, and , also an alibi; but this making an allowance of fifteen or twenty mi nutes, did not appear insonsistent with the soldiers' evidence. The Learned Judge having summed up the evi. dence with his well known ability and impartial love of justice, the Jury retired for a short time, and re turned with a verdict of Guilty , again s t Th omas • Pepper, Joseph Gunnel, and James M'Clean, and acquitted the other two prisoners. The Judge, in a most impressive appeal to the feelings of the unhappy men; to make peace with their offended GOD, daring the short time they had to live, and which arrested the attention of every per. son in Court, pronounced the dreadful sentence of the law. These ill-fated men, whose gcneral cha racters were respectable, are to be executed on Mon day next, and their bodies sent to the Louth Hospi tal for dissection.
