Captain J. supposes that they retreated to the eatrenched camp near Bayonne. From an eminence he was an eye-witness of the light i ing of that day. On the 1011 i, the armies were again engaged, but with no change of sithation on either part. The battle was resumed on the 11111- Captain. Junes beard the tiring, which appeared to be kept up with great viJour, but does not know the result, as lie W;1.3 • ',neer the necessity• of sailing immediately. With our opinion of 1 Lord Wellington's talents, with our experience of his good fortune, and with the knowledge which ha s reached as by another aitival, of his having received reinforcements from home and from Lisbon, it sill not he deemed presumptuous to anticipate the account of aniiiiier i vicory. Captain Jones had frequently seen LoWellington bfore ii his t departure. His Lordship appeared to be i n perfect health and spirits." A vessel, named the Courier, is arrived from Passages at Guernsey, which she left eight days ago. The Captain anti passengers state, that previous to their departure an account had been received that a series of battles were fought front the eth to the 13th, between the Allies and the Trends, in which Soult was finally defeated, with immense loss. The , report aids, that his Lordship having left a sufficient force before. Bayonne, was in full march to Bourdeaux, and that three German, and two Dutch regiments came over to the Allies. That there has been a great battle, and (we doubt I not we may add) a glorious victory, achieved by the gallant Marquis and his brave army, is evident from an article in the French papers, in which actions are said to have taken I place, and the enemy acknowledges the loss - of 500 men killed, and 2500 wounded.—The dispatches front Marquis Wellington may be hourly expected. Meanwhile the report gains ground. that 3000 German troops, in the pay of France, came over in a body to the English hero, and prayed to be sent to fight the battles of liberty on their native soil; a request which was instantly acceded to. The right, under Sir Rowland Hill, is said not only to have advanced to the Adour, but to have actually thrown a corps across that - river; . whilst General Souk, nephew to the Marshal who bad advanced to Hasperien, on the road toward St, Jean Pied de Port, was so far intercept ed by our ninny, that his retreat to Bayonne was renie?ed extremely precarious.
