Lon Don, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 13. DISPATCHES FROM LORE) WELLINGTON. The following dispatches from Lord WELL 'NG TON were published in last night's Gazette. The difficulty of !na ming food for his concentrated force is already felt by the enemy, who has begun to fall back on every side. His Lordship has removed his head-quarters- to Ftenada, about 40 miles to the north-west of Ciudad Rodrigo, probably for the sake of better cantonments. Lisbon Papers to the Ist inst. have also been received, but they contain no informa tion of importance. WAR DEPARTMENT. DOWNIN.%-S fREF.T, InCEMBER 12. 1812. A Dispatch 01 which the folhwing is an extract, has been this day received by Earl Bathurst, from Gvneral the Marquis of ;rVellington, dated Frenada, `2.sth November, 1812. The greata, ►►art of the enemy's force which had crossed the Tot ales have retied across that river ; and, it is reported, have directed their march towirds the Douro _ A part of the troops which had moved to the Huelva, returned to— wards Salamanca ; and '' hers which hail advanced to Tamamett returned towards 11:e Tornics by Escurial towards Los Santos. Many ine;, why were missing have joined their regiments. FURTHER SUCCP 4 SES OF THE 11,USTANS. . The disintekes received from Lord CATucART in the eat lv part of the week, h:i%e supplied us with a clear account of the 'nn ev.enti :ar'• ksses of the enemy, in their retreat from Moscow, an , ! of t!.e a•Aivitv and successes of their pur.

The constant inroads made by the Russian pal ties on tt. 'ong 'l!iv of his communications, and the rapid advance of the teiliforced at wins of WITTGENST LIN and the flanks of the corps that guarded the ba,is of his operations on the Dwina and in Vo!hynia, con vinyi-d him that unless he speedily retraced his. steps, the fortes in h at' w , inld be entirely overpowered, and he should find himself co:opie'cly surrounded at the distance of 300 mites from any of divisions.
