At two o'clock this afternoon, Mr. CANNING, attended by Lord FRANCIS CONINGHAst, left Gloucester•lodge, in order to have a personal audience of his MAJZSTV. We have received ad vices to-day from Vigo, by the Royal George S:eam-packet, of as late a date as Saturday last, which seem decisive of the state of affairs in Gallicia. At that period Corunna was still in the occupation of the Spanish Constitutionalists ; but its defence was coini,tered as so hopeless, that the Governor-General PAMPRELUNA, Sir ROBERT Wtt.sort, and General QutnocA, had all left it. PANIPIIELIINA had gone to Vigo, Sir ROBERT WILSON to Cadiz, and General QulnoGA has arrived in this country. The French only waited for the coming up of their heavy artillery, to compel the surrender of the place. Vigo, too, hiss been invested by the French, and also abandoned by its Governor, Gene ral ROMAYO I who has accompanied QUIROGA in his Right to this country. The Royal George arrived at Plymouth on Wed- nesday evening. Among the passengers there were above forty Spanish Officers and Gentlemen, in cluding Generals duirtoca. and ROMAYO. The fol lowing are the particulars collected by our Plymouth Corr espendcnt : RIAMOUTII, AUGUST 6. " Arrived this afternoon, the Royal GeOrge, Steatn packet,,from Vigo, which place she left on Saturday last. Sir JOHN Dovcn, with two Officers, landed, and set off immediately for town, charged with dispatches. " The celebrated General QUIROGA, also landed, and will set off for town to-morrow, it is stated to be his intention to take a command in another part of the Peninsula. Genet al RODIAYO, Governor of Vigo, is also arrived, with about 40 Spanish Officers and Gentlemen. " Sir ROBERTWILSON had recovered of his wounds, proceeded to Vigo, and from thence to Cadiz. By the accounts received from the passengers by this vessel, very little hopes remain of any effectual' resistance to the French being made for the present in Gallicia. The troops in Corunna were well-dis posed, and fought well ; but as the French were in possession of the heights, which overlooked the place, not a person could appear in the streets without being fired at by riflemen. The Spanish riflemen were also on the alert from the ramparts, under cover of sand-bags, and a continual firing was kept up. The- French bad but a few pieces of light artillery; but when their heavy pieces arrived, which were ex pected, the place would not hold out long. " The French had also invested Vigo, which was expected rb fall in a short time." We subjoin also the contents of a Second Edition of the Plymouth Journal of Wednesday. The suppo sition het e throityn out, that General PAMPHELUNS and Sir ROBERT WILSON had gone to Vigo for the pur pose of collecting troops to attack the Fzench in the rear at Corunna, we hold to be somewhat ridiculous. The abandonment by all parties appears to bare been complete " Journal Once. Seven o'Clock, Wednesday livening. We this moment stop the press to announce that the Royal George steam-packet, arrived and landed passengers here about an hour ago. She left Comma on 'Friday morning, et four o'clock, for Vigo, taking Sir Roust Wsurix and General Rue pigsAnu. the Governor of Corunna, and Staff, passengers. Sir Roaarr bad his wound, which is in the thigh, dressed on beard by the surgeon old* Royal George, and was left with General Pastroacena and kis Staff, at Vigo. Their objectin going - thither was said to be:to cock ct troops to attack the French in the rear at Comma. 64 When the French packet left Comma the Speaks* were keeping up a heavy eanoosade ow the French batteries, but the latter were in possession of all the heights, and bad it in their power to raze it so the geonad whenever the thought proper. The passe:mitts by the packet report. that the Spaniards were suffering muck from the want of prvrsisions, and the crew state that they lay so near that they could easily see the French troops, and actually did see an Oakes killed by athot in the streets of Ceram& There was only one French frigate blockading the port w►en she packet left. She alibi from Vigo en Saturday after soon at tour o'clock. and the French were then expected to enter k neat dap, being then only Is miles from it, with Moons° at their heed, whotad joined than with 1000 men." The foUowiag extract of a letter from Coruna, written immediately after the attack of the French'' on the 15th nit. describes store particularly than has been-yet-done, the conduct of Sir ROBERT WILSON and Colonel Lttn4T in theafair. It appears to have been highly meritorious: • • g CORUNNA, JULY is. " At three o'clock, yesterday, the French attempted to take this town by surprise, but were disappointed ; they commenced the attack with great violence on the village of St. Lucie, and after a severe action of eight hours, they gained possession of the heights and windmills near the town. Sir Robert Wilson, on the first attack, rushed out of the town, headed the troops that were under arms, and was the first to meet and check the enemy. He then dismounted and led on a detachment of Infantry, when he received a mus ket-ball through histert thigh. " Colonel Light, who bravely supported his Ge neral, received a rifle-ball through his right thigh, and a wound in his hand. They have good surgical assistance, and are both doing Well. The troops and the people are all in the highest spirits, and are re solved not to submit. Several waggons of Wounded French, among whom is the General, have been sent to Betanzos. Mr. Bartlett, the British Consul t has removed to Ferrol. : Captain Harley is appointed to officiate in his abmice." - , ;• • OTHER ACCOUNTS'S.' " Row, Groaos, orr vtaih" Mart 111113. We have just arrived from COMAS with the Governor-General Vigo, and his Staff, he ia.appointed to succeed General. Romayo .here. Corunna:is in vested closely by the French troops, and is daily ex pected to fall'; the Burgos Militia, and some , Bis cayan troops of the line have hitherto defended it. The French General, with.whott“ dined on Thursday last, at Ferrol, which place therhove had' possession of for some days, has embarked a battering train on board a French frigate, which blockades Coranna by sea, and which has already landed a suifisient own ber of cannon to mount the French batteries . which occupy the heights commanding the town; when I left, many persons had been wounded, even in the streets, by the fire of the French musketry, so corn pletely is the town at their mercy. " AusesT 2. General Quiroga and his Staff, who came with us Irom Corunna, have just returned on board, to sail with us for England. Everything is in the greatest confusion. Morino is within fifteen miles, at l'onte Vedra, joined by some French troops. He will not listen to any terms, and, as there are no troops here, the place must fall. Nlorillo is, I understand, most anxious to take Sir It. Wilson, who is here with seve ral English Officers. " The troops here cannot be relied on. Eight ban died which were sent against Morino two days ago, went OW to him, and the Authorities are fearful that the remaining part may follow their example." " °Vino, AUGUST 3, 1823. " Sir R. Wilson has just engaged a small British schooner, in the Newfoundland trade, to take jiim. self, Captain Erskine, and two or three others, who are still with him, to Cadizz. The few troops that re main here (about 500) are now going to Bayonna (in Gallicia), with a view of rendering it defensible. Every boat in the harbour is pressed for this service, and the guns hi the citadel have been spiked. The Governor-General ltomayo, his Lady, and Aid-de- Camp, have just embarked on board the Royal George, for England. Sir Robert Wilson's wound is almost well, but poor Colonel- Light, akhougli much better, is still in a state of great suffering at Corunna and was not considered sufficiently convalescent to join Sir Robert here. "It is supposed the French will haves,ooo troops to send to the army in the South by the fall of curunna and Vigo." Sir ions M. Doing end the two Gentlemen men tioned by our Plymouth Corresperideet; as accom panying him (Mr. Pawls and Mr. Ctasir).• strived in town last night. They were the bearers, respitetheil, of *dispatches for . Government, and the Spanish - sod Portuguese Ambassadors.

" The small fottihed tewa of Morella. (kingdom of Valencia), on the frontiers of Arragon, surrendered on the 20th, at discretion, to the ttoopt of the Spa nish Royalist General Capepe, who had invested it for about forty days. This place was defended by 150 men of Rallasteres's army. " The band of Montilla had been attacked and totally destroyed; these Revolutionists, after skewing themselves in the province of Soria, crossed the Ebrio; and pushed rapidly forward, pursued by -the Trap pist, between Tiebas and Noain, with the intFrstion. of penetrating to Pampeluna ; but, nearly surrounded by a detachment of the 12th Chasseum they hastened to retrace their steps. At the moment of their re crossing the Ebro, this band was attacked near Ca dreita, by Colonel Labarthe, who had been for fifteen i days mancelivring to cut off their retreat. He killed twenty-seven men and nineteen horses. Montilla took to flight, but was killed by an inhabitant of Arguedas. I have the honour, &c. (Signed) " Count GUILLEMINOT." ' PARIS, JULY 30. Letters from Madrid of the 31st of July, received by Express, make known the desperate situation in which Ballasteros is placed. He is bearing on Malaga with the three thousand men who still ( follow him ; it is the only step left for him to take, as he is hemmed in on all sides by Generals Molitor, and Foissac Latour. The whole popula tion rose against him in the Sierra Ronda. As to his troops, they are completely disheartened,' and in a state of utter disorganization. The General hiniself, severely., wounded in the leg, cannot ride on horse ban, and is obliged tatravel in a carriage. FaIiNCH FIVE NCR CFirra. AUGUST 5.-91 f. 80c. Loan of 1823,, If prem.. We have received today the following account; from Bayonne: ' BAYONNE, AUGUST The Bulletins of the Army, as La as we have re ceived them, not giving any account of the action before Corunna, though the 25th Bulletin speaks of Ferrol, we are, therefore, obliged to be content with reports which cannot be warranted ■s authentic, but which are all that we haite to guide public opinion in the absence of official statements. It is related that, before the French advanced to Corunna, the re ,gslar troops of the garrison, the Militia, and all the ;_inhabitants, had laboured with great diligence at the . ' fortifications-4o as to put the place in a very respect able state of defence, especially by laying snipes an der most of the approaches to the town : when the French, therefore, were proceeding to commence the hattack on the side of Fort Sainte Lack, the enemy feigned.to fly before us, in order to draw us to the principal mine at the promenade of the Canal. This stratagem w a s bpt too successful ; the mine blew up with a dreadful explosion, and caused infi nite mischief among our ranks; our loss is variously stated, and probably much exaggerated, but 'if the Above particulars are true, it must be apprehended that it was severe. f . The English General (Wilson) / kneels:, •foexite with great bravery as a volunteer. lienesevietiii et this affair, General Boarck is said to hive Nita k to Betanzos. The letters fiom Saragossa give an affecting pic ture of the anarchy which prevails in that great city, and the excesses which the rabble commit; there wits season to fear that all the respectable and visit inha bitants would be plundered and murdered ; and it is said they very narrowly escaped. Similar excesses were reported to have been planned at Valencia and other great cities. We learn, by an express from Mich id, that in consequence of the departure of the • e of Angouleme, with his Staff,, and the !loyal Guard, the garrison of the capital is reduced to iwo regiments of infantry, and some gens-d'armes, a rot /intent of cuirassiers, and the gaqies du covs.— General Autichamp still commands. • The letters -from Spain by way of Oleron, speak ota serious action on the. 46th, near Manresa; whiCh :gown they say was completely destroyed by the Chn stitutional troops.
