On the dd, 3d, dad 4th of the present Miinth, considerable agitation wsi observed among the French, they madel several distend's* Mid' 'sent away many carriagki laden with Ittrittids,. civil °Seers and equipage; on the 4th, •t tfight; the plate belonging to Marshal Jordan'and lwo other Generals was packed np ; the intrutive King was making preparations for his journey to Gra* ; the day before yesterday the works at the Country Pa lace, and at the Retiro, were discontinued; but the must remarkable is, that a considerable quantity of artillery, bombs, and grenades, has been sent to Castile. COlOl BRA JOLT 13.---By intelligence from our frontiers, it appears that the head-quarters of the British army were, on the 30th of June, at Zarca Mayor, and by advice. received yesterday - no learn that they were since at Placentia. General Comte had sent a Lfret—Genetel to the latter place to compliment Gen. Wellesley, and, it is probable, also to confer upon the operations of the two armies. The army of Sebastisni bad wholly retired to the right bank of the Guadiana ; his vanguard was posted in Consuegra, Nalrilijos, and Villa Rubin, and the head-quarters at Tole. do. The vanguard of tbc Spanish army was on the bridge of the Guadiana, supported by a dini. siun stationed at Villa Marta, and another at Dai. miel ; the corps of reserve was at Mansanares. TA IR A GiONA Jules Somatenes of Doctor Rimini, which are some of 111 bat orga. sized, have taken firm the Fritsch 603 cartaladen with bombs, 15 ytith powder, 304 mules, and 100 oxen, all of which had left Figueras fed the siege of Gerona.

LISBON, JULY 11.—In a letter from Pedro Lobo Teixeira de Banos, to the most illustrious Mend Leila Pereira, we find the following gence:— " " By advices received from Forufria the 30th Jane at night, we are assured that the French General, who was yesterday at Tavora, having receiveddispatches, on a sudden beat the generale, and retreated precipitately, abandoning the pro. visions and nations which be had collected. Tho troops what were at Cervagaler, advanced yester. day to Mega, and at two in the afternoon, set out for Tavora. The same orders had been given to the last 5000, who appeared to bo advancing to joist them. " Tbis moment has been received an official din. patch from Gedettba, written by a Captain who had been sent by Dun Manuel to the Marquis de Romans, dated '29th June, in which he says he bad spoken to an Officer, who assured him that he had been with Senhor Romans, in Orense, and that he was proceeding to Corunita and Ferrol, which had been abandoned by the French, leaving their artillery spiked." Ney, according to the same letter, was retreat ing by the high road to Astoria. His force, which passed near Puebla, cannot be more than 10 or 12,400 men. Another letter from Jesse Carlos Borges Rubel. 10, to the most illustrious Bernardo de Silveira Pinto, states, 66 the enemy continues *is retreat for lienevente. Some Castilians have assured me that Ney is marcitiog direct for Astorga. ! ' The letter is dated Vinhassi sth July. By official accounts frem Ciudad. Rodrigo, we learn that the French General of Cavality Fran. ceschi, and two of his adjutants, were taken pri soners on the road from Zamora to Valladulid.— This capture is of importance, both from the cow. sideration and rank of the General, and fur the *carnets thee obtained of the wretched condition of the army of Suelt, which is without clothing, without shoes, without money, Isavips riot ili mi. litary chests, tispiqsage, bliage, pai?eri t , 'Ad every thing it had. .Two irgtavonts of inlairtry la Ganicht refused to enter into action, and a gene. rat discontent prevails among the French troops, who are Wolof war, as • they have out obtained the &desists.* they were promised. The vattemardef the army of Soult, which the said Franc:melt commanded, and it hieh is arrived at Caesars, consists of six regiments of..infantry. and six of cavalry, making in the syholc. only 4 or 50t)0 men, as the regiments are very weak on acconsit of their losses, and their win...runs sick. On the 2d Marshal Swill himself arrived at Came ra, and will be followed by the rest of the army. The Spanish Colonel I),m Nlanoel Garia de Bar rio, Commissary of the Marquis de Remain, as. sures us that the French have evacuated all Galli cia, and that the army of Marshal Ney has fid. lusted that of Soult oo its .march to Castile. A letter from the Commissary at %Var., Dursil, to the Intendant-General of the army of Soult, in Madrid, dated Camara, June V, lap—" The administration of the second corps of the army is in a must deplorable state, and I entreat that you will leirnediat.ly send us assistance. Nine months pay b owing to the soldiers, and the re. giments have lost their chests and baggage at Vigo. The soldiers are without shoes, both in. fantry and cavalry. The loss of the chests and hagsagedeprives us of any tesoarce for cloathing, and the Officers are reduced to a lamentable situ ation. 'l'be Sub-Inspector Laherse it dead, and Mr. Everard kick at Logo. The Paymaster-Ge neral was made prisoner at his house at Vigo. At Peoafiel, u no carriages could be obtained, the money which was in the chests was given up to pillage, because it was better that the French sol diers should have it than the enemy, who followed us very closely; and there was no place where re. gular distributions 'could he made. On the sth dby of our retreat, the English attacked us at eleven at night, and threw our troops into (limn der. " On the second day of oar retreat we had the misfortune to lose Mr. Oyetiset. This commis sary was made prisoner by a patrole of the army of 'Marshal Beresford in pursuit of Gen. Loisuu. I must entreat you, General, to give the neces sary orders that all the transports intended for the regiments of the army, and k►hieh were to have been sent from Bayonne and Valladolid, may proceed immediately for Zamora." In a letter from Marshal Souk to Gan. Fran. aschi, dated Puebla de Sonahria, June 26, the former writes that he had set out with his division for Camora, by the way of Mon Boni, that he had represented to his Catholic Majesty, Don Joseph I. that his troops were in want of aH kinds of necessaries, and requesting that the requisite baggage and military stores should be sent to him at Camora. In a letter from Marshal Soult to Joseph Na poleon, he writes that he bad left in Lugo 9G7 sick. " The insurgents," he says, " taking ad. vantage of a good position at St. Claudio, kept up a constant fire upon their column, which found itself obliged to retire with some loss. Gen. !Jolson ordered the village to be burned, u also that of Caldelas, in revenge fur their having as sassinated H 5 men of the ith regiment." On the 24th, all the troops funned a junction at PaeWa de Sonabria, which place - they left on the 29th and 30th, and arrived at Carnets on the 2d of July. The Marshal requests his Majesty Joseph to send him the succour he had applied for on the 30th of May :—" Your Majesty," he says, " must be sensible that it is now more than five months since I have received any order*, no tices, or succours of any kind, and const•quently, that I must be in want of maiiy things, and igno: rant of the general dispositions. The establish. ment of an hospital is indispensible, and a supply of provisions for four months, which would be the only means to prevent the French from being obliged to seek them in the houses of the peasants, and being murdered by them. Fur this, and to put Gallicia in a state of a defence, a million of reels would be necessary." SkYILLI, JULY 7.—Lieutenant-Gener el De Venegas has sent the following report to Don An. tunio Cornel :—" 1 have the honour to transmit to your Excellency the report of the action of Toralba, which I have received from Colonel Dun Louis Lacey, and which is as follows : " Mom kzent.r.grit Sin—The first trial of dying corps, composed of the Regiment of Burgos, of a company of the chemicals of Cuenca, and the regiment of cavalry of Fran cisco, was made 3esterday in the environs of Tondba, by me prising and routing the lit regiment of the Polish shims, the 80th and 26th regiments of French ebainesin, and two West phalian regiments of light bor.-e, with two pieces of mono*. About live o'clock in the a/newton I received intelligence that the first enemy's corps occupied that place; I hammed from Almagro to attack that place; the enemy gave the ne cessary orders to commence the attack as soon as the *bleu nay of the night should favour their design.

An article of intelligence of that date, under the title of " Banks . or the Elbe" it partictriarly worthy of attentien, as completely exposing the nature of the intelligeoco with which the r eople of England have Nees continually duped, by the cow. =ideation of Agents established on the Conti. nerd, fur the purpose of transmitting informa. Lion to England.—ln this article every disaster is palliated...the.immenso less of the enemy is in. sisted upon ; and the most favourable expectatiods excited with a view to keep alive" that hope, which can no longer exist in the mind of any en. prejudiced person, who reflects on the events of the Campaign in Germany.—This information is an. nounced as gg private correspondence, ()budded from " very respectable sources at Victims." "At the battle of Wigram 30 French Marshals and Generals were wounded. "Quarters were ordered at Vienna for 32,000 wounded. " BEMIRES (Duke of Isr*z.►) arrived there badly wounded. " Tbc Austrians took 800 prisoners —cannon — and other booty. " The Berlin Gazette is prohibited at Vienna, and contradicts the French Bulletins. , sl The Archduke's centre was not forced—be made 8000 prisoners—and had taken an invinci ble position. ' The ease authentic prirateadeirts state, that the road was quite covered with carriages, filled with wounded French ; and although the loss of the battle is not denied—it was solely awing to the (allured the Italian troops against the Bavarians. •° There are also private advicet i w it la the agree able' intelligence Of the defeat of the I)lLke of Asitz ru t and of the repossession of Dresden, Leipzig, &c. by the Austrians. "The g greet,Expedition' has struck the French with great panic; and they are trying all they can to induce Great Britain not to do any thi►►g on the Continent." • The .25th and 26th Bulletins, containing the in. : •telligcsce of the Battle of Wagram, reached Lon ' don on Friday, the 2tst of July, the very same 'day that•thts IngeOlons Fabricator of News on the Banks of the Elbe had manufactured big `private correspondence from Vivnna.—But the conclusion of this. palpable account is ' 4 most base end impotent," an abrupt reference to the rise of the price of co. Initial produce, 66 on recticiag the news of the drai,,teceso Now, really, this menefacturer of authentic Private Correspondence appears to us unworthy of bis situation.—To be sure, it cannot be denied that on the •s Dank: of Me Messes" had been prepared, with vast labour and attention, a forid and heart-cheering official account of the battles of Easerdolf and 'regrew.. We had killed myriads of the French, and had caused the Austrians to re. tire to an inviatible position at Zuaim, merely to draw NAPO LEO un to hic destruction, the publita. lion of which was unfortunately prevented by the arrival of the 27tb Bulletin, containing the Armi. mire. _ _ This article of intelligence from the Banks of the Elbe is but a specimen of the innumerable deceptions that have been practised, by similar means ► on the pooj►le of England—who surely wi►l no longer safer themselves to be duped a s they have been. The other articles of intelligence in these Papers contain nothing but what is already known. Negociations for Peace, under the mediation of Russia, are anticipated— but yesterday• it was confidently state►!, in private letten from Rolland, that Peace was concluded—and the cessions of Austria were specifically deta►led.—Tu that at. count we du nut atiach any credit. - SPANISH and Poaroovasx, Papers containing accounts highly tattering to the cause of the Spa niards, were received last night. We have given copious extracts from these Journals. The 1: rench General of Cavalry, FAANCESCRI I and two of his Adjutants, have been taken by the Spaniards. By the capture of these Deicers, intelligence is said to have been received of the army of SOUL'S Wit% reduced to about WOO men, and in a most deplo. ruble condition ; he is retreating, as also is Mar. shal NUS, in the direction of Castile. *. A report of Colonel Don Louts LACST, an. pounces a successful attack by a flying corps on a body of }'reach troops, in the neighbourhood of Teralba, which was attended with complete suc. cess. This is the species of warfare with which the Spaniards could most effectually oppose the French ; but in order to effect the ultimate de struction .or espulsion of an invading army, the population of every part of the Peninsula must be actuated by an unanimous and enthusiastic spirit of resistance—unfortunately it is a lamentable troth—that such a spirit is to be found in a por. Lion, and, we fear, an inferior pardon only, of the inhabitants of the Peninsula. In a letter from Lisbon, of the 19th'of July, it is stated, that "a according to the latest accounts, " Sir A. IV EILESLICY was at Placentia on the 12th, " wailing .the arrival of the light troops under " Getters' Caawronn." Tbc Battering accounts transmitted to this country in the Spanish Journals, have not the slightest influence on our opinion of the ultimate issue of the contest oa the Peninsula. The French may, by possibility, be once more driven behind the Ebro—and should they be so—will there maintain themselves until reinforcements from France again oversheli the devoted—unfortu nate inhabitants of the Peninsula—the deliverance of which we have so feebly attempted. In the autumn of laxt year, we stated the ab. surdity of the first Expedition to Portugal, and the policy of making the effort in Spain will' at least 100,000 British troops. %Vim this subject was agitated in Parliament, Lord CASTLERLAGE ridicnled the ignorance that assumed the practica bility- of such an effort. An army of •100,14 British troops in Spain was staled to be beyond the means of England. And yet in Sicily—in the Pe ninsula—and with the Expedition...we cannot have fewer than that number, notwithstanding our loss in the last campaign in Spain.-- Had an army of 100,000 British troops lets landed in Spain 12 months ago, the humiliation of Austria had been averted. The Arefhura Moe is arrived with dispatches from Portugal. As Austrian Messenger landed at Yarmouth the night befure last, and immediately set for London. What.ever his dispatches may coa t:tin, one thing is certain, that the accounts be communicated at Yarmouth respecting the situ ation of the Austrians, is erilently untrue. A telegraphic order having been received at Deal from the Admiralty, fur all the vessels, with the heavy artillery on board, lying in the Downs, to sail immediately to join the Expedition, they sailed accordingly on Tuesday morning, under convoy of his Majesty's sloop Rinaldo. Letters from Monte Video, dated in May last. and bronght to Falmouth by the John, Paiti.it, from Rio de la Plata, after a passage of sixty. three days, state that LANIER,' change of conduct in favour of FIIRDIN \ND VII. has restored to him all his former popularity ; that lie ha., been con firmed by the mother country in his post of Go vernor of South America, in vt.sted aith new Wk.., and raised to the rink of a Grasolir of gp The enemy's privateers have lately been very suc cessful uu the South American coasts.
