The Mail which arrived yesterday from Lisbon, was brought to Falmouth by the Duke of Kent packet, which sailed from the Tagus on the 9th inst. The private corn• rnunications furnish us with art important piece of intel ligence, of the truth of Which ;here appears to be no doubt whatever, the occupation of Salamanca by our troops. This information is contained in the following ex tracts : LISBON, JUNE 7.—" Lord WELLINGTON ) with the greater pait of army has marched to the North, and our troops, it seems, are in possession of Salamanca." JUNE 7.--;Lord WELLINGTON has put the - whole of his troops in mo ' tion, and according to the latest • advices from head-quarters, was marching towards Salamanca after MARMONI, who, as it is this day said, has retreated abandoning that place." Some of the papers of yesterday morning stated, that an Expedition was fitting out in the Tagus, which was to proceed to some of the ports on the Spanish coast. The letters by the Mail from Lisbon, take no notice whatever of such a circumstance, and hence it is considered as till. Lunded. Dispatehes from Lord WFI.LIYGTON was also brought by the same conveyance. They are of the SOth ult. when his 'wits mOvini cowards the Tormes in force. - - ;,- 379 The Guerillas are in possession of Cuenca. Gen. Hui. has returned to Alttendr3lejo. There is a leport of Gen. LACY having entered Tarra gona ; we shall be happy to find it confirmed. It is con tained in the following letter ; but as Tarragona is too strong a place to be taken without a long and regular siege, we fear that the account is erroneous. 1. - ISBON, JUNE 4.—" Yesterday it was asserted, that Gen. LACY had entered Tarra,Tona, where he was received with general anti extraordi nary joy, by the inhabitants of that unfortunate city, and that the forces which that General had at his disposition, were quite competent to maintain possession of that important city."—(Lisbon Diary, June 4.) A material augnientation of our force will be detived from a measure which is to be put into immediate execu• tion. Every British regiment is to receive an addition of ten Spaniards to each company. PHENOMENON AT BARBADOES. A letter from Barbadoes, of the sth May (after giving an account of the extraordinary phenomenon detailed in another part of our columns, which took plact on the :30th April and Ist May), adds what follows :••••• " We learn by arrivals that no explosion had taken place at Dominica, St. Luck, or Martinique. " The Neptune arrived this morning from Bristol. Capt. Powmts says he met with the volcanic matter 500 miles to the windward of the Island, with which the decks of his vessel was covered ; hence it is concluded to be pro. bable that the explosion took place in one or other of the Western Islands." There are letters in town from Rio de J. neiro; which as , :ert, positively, that the Junta of Buenos Ayres had declared themselves independent of the Parent Country, and had actually hoisted the flag of independence. EXTRAORDINARY GAZETTE. An Extraordinary Gazette was published on Thurs. day containing an Extract of a Dispatch from the Earl of WELLINGTON, enclosing one from Sir ROWLAND HILL; containing the official account of his brilliant operation against the Bridge of Almarez. . It is a matter of ex treme satisfaction to learn, that an enterprize so ardu ous and so important, should have been achieved with so small a positive loss—the whole killed not exceeding two Officers, one serjeant, and 30 rank and file; and the wounded amounting to but 13 Officers, ten serjeants, and ]2O rank and file. The enemy appears to have been taken completely by surprise, and panic-struck. In truth, our brave troops have now established the same acknow ledged superiority which has been so long the boast of British tars and the enemy's troops begin to bear testi mony of it, by the confusion and rapidity of flight, when ever they are encountered by British troops. The Dis patch of Lord WELLiscli•roN is dated Fuente de Gui naldo, May the 28th, that of General HILL, Truxillo, May the 21'st. . Mr. VANSTTTART brought forward the Budget! on Wednesday night in the House of Commons. The new Taxes are estimated to produce 1,900,0001. and con skt of lid. per lb. on Hides and Skins, an increase by doubling. the Duty on Glass \\Tares, an addition of 10 per cent: to the Duties on, ,Tt4i4ceo; an increase of hi. per Letter on the postage of Letters carried more than 20 ~~ ._
