From Spain and from the North, tidings of joy and glory have incessantly flowed in upon us. Scarcely had Lord WELLINGTON'S dis patches informed us on Monday of the surrender of the Castle of St. Sebastian, the Sth instant, and of the defeat of a flesh attempt made by SOUL T to raise its siege, when those of Sir CHARLES STEWART, to the 25th, Mb, and Sod] ult. relieved our feats respecting the event of the bat tles fought before Dresden, (in which he reckons the loss of the Allies on the 26th at only four thousand, and on the 27th at seven thous and men, instead of the fifty thousand stated by the enemy.) and brought us the details of the bril liant action in which VAN DA MM E and 10,000 men were ta ken, and the rest ofhis corps killed and wounded, only about 10,000 effecting their escape. To this glorious intelligence were added some particulars of Gen. BLUCH f R'S victory over M ACDON A Ln, and the Proclamation issued by the Prussian commander to his army, on re-entering Lusatla,, after hay- • ing freed Lusatia ftom the oppression of the enemy. Sir Charles Stewart himself had been wounded in the action with Vandamme, but not daneerously. He lamented that the attempt of the Allies on Dresden should have failed, but attributed that mischance to the non-execution ()folders. The subsequent retreat into Bohemia, had been solely occa sinned, he stated, by the advance of a powerful French corps on the right of the Allies, towards the pisses in their rear, and they remained full of Imre and el, ernes. to be engaged, which they sufficiently proved bv the defeat of that adven- . turous corps, which was that Vandatnine commanded.
