LONDON: StTUltt) tY, strrwa s iza 5, 1812. In a Second Edition yesterday, we had the pleasure to announce the capture of Madrid by Marquis Wet, LI NGTON, Which news was transmitted by a Telegraphic Message from Plymouth, and about five o'clock, Major BURGH arrived with the Official Discatches,con taining the particulars of this important event. He alighted at Lord BATH URST'S Office, and in a short time afterwards, the following letter was sent to the LORD MAYOR : " Downing-street, Sept. 4. " Mir Loan,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship, that Dispatches have been received from the Martinis af - IrzitaiwioN, dated the 13th and 15th ult. containing the intelligence of the Allied Army having entered Madrid, after an inconsiderable re sistance, on the 12th ultimo, and - that the Retire had surrendered on the 11th ult. In that place there were found 189 pieces of cannon, 900 barrels of powder, 20,000 stand of arms, and considerable magazines of clothing, provisions, and ammunition. 66 I have the honour to be, " BATIICRST." " T.) the Right Ron. the LORD NiA YOR." P. S. I hare the satisfaction of adding, that the Officers and men who were wounded in the battle of Salamanca are in the most favourable way." An Extraordinary Gazette was published at a late hour in the night, the contents of which a are highly gratifying, as the possession of Madrid was obtained by a very trifling loss on our part, and would have been considerably less but for the cowardice of the Portuguese cavalry, near Nlajalalionda, who turned their backs upon the enemy before the attack com menced, by which three of our guns were lost.— On the 12th of August, Madrid was entered by the English Army, and 2500 prisoners were taken, with a large quantity of military stores.-- J OSEPH BON APARTE had previously retired, with the Army of the Centre, by the road of Toledo and Ai anjuez, and for what purpose he could have left a garrison behind at Madrid, it is difficult to conjec tine. JOSEPU seems to have been wavering in his miud what steps to pursue, his first movements be. ing towards the North, when lie suddenly turns about and pursues an opposite course, plundering the cities as he passes through them. The follow ing passage in Lord WeLLINGTors's dispatch is too expressive to pass without a comment :- 46 It is 1 impossible (says his Lordship) to describe the joy manifested by the inhabitants of Madrid upon our I arrival." So far we participate in his Lordship's! gratification, and sympathize with the feelings of the I : inhabitants, in hope that their sufferings will soon I have an end ;—but mark the leading features of the. next sentence. " I hope," continues his Lordship, ( 4 for hope attends us still') " that the prevalence of the same sentiments of detestation of the French yoke, and of a strong desire to secure the independence I of their country, which first induced them to set the example of resistance to the Usurper, will induce them to make exert' •in the cause of their coun try, which will he more' efticaciobs than those for-1 merly made." This expression of his Lordship's sen timents strongly corroborutes our former suspicions respecting the want of a cordial energy in the Spa niards, conjointly with the British Army, to expel their invaders. \l'a have this morning recei►ed Lisbon Papers to the 23d ult. and Cadiz to the 10th from which the following are the most important extracts : LISBON, Ara. 12. It being convenient to preserve tlifte kingdoms in the most perfect tranquillity, as long as the war shall continue, which unfortunately has broken out between Great Britain and the United States of Ame rica ; and as it will contribute greatly to this to pre. 'eat all disputes, which, jn such circumstances, fre quently arise, relative to the prizes made by the ships of the belligerent powers, the PRINCE RE- Gvcr, our Lord, has ordered, that the provisions made in the Decree of the 30th of Aug. 1780, shall be renewed, and the prizes which the frigates, ships of war, and prhateers of the said nations shall have taken one from the other, shall not be admitted into the ports of these kingdoms, with exception only in two cases, when the rights . of nations render hospi tclity with a, declaration at the same time, that they shall not sell or unload the prizes, which they shall bring into said ports, nor remain longer there than be necessary to avoid the danger which threatens them, or obtain the succour of which they stand in need. The Authorities to whom it appertains to carry this Decree into execution, will see that it Is carried into effect. wit It Fire Signatures of the Governors of these Kingdoms.

There is a report here, that two American frigates (one of them, the President, have been taken and carried into , This intelligence comes, via Newfoundland, in 4l days. We have inserted a Letter from G'neraT S vrteArtx to the PRINCC REGENT, which, like the other pro. 1 ductions of this Gentleman, tends to shew that he has either outwitted himself in deserting the French army, or that he has been outwitted by our Govern-' meat. He complains bitterly of the ill-treatment that he has received from our Ministers, and we have no doubt of his having been deceived by them ; but it is high time they had discovered their error, in ac cepting offers of service from any foreign traitor or adventurer that could tell them a plausible storN,andin sinuate themselves into the favour of Ministers. We have heard of many instances in which large sums of public money have been lavished upon some very worthless characters, that came over to this country under the, mark of communicating secret intelligence to Government, which terminated in plots that pour frayed only the baseness of the mind that conceived them. But General S titRAZIM declares, that he was duly enrolled among the list of pensioners on the Secret Service Money, and stales, that Mr. R.rus communicated, from Ministers, the express conditions --which was to allow him 1 ,8001. per annum, besides perquisites, and w hich, on striking the balance of his de mand, left 60,0001. due to him from Government, after ! • expunging nine-tenths of the value of his traitorous communication. It appeals, however, that he will no longer silently endure the cold-blooded neglect of those who professed a warm attachment to him, when Deering to betray his master, while he is in possession of secrets worth knowing ; and he insists upon per mission being given Mtn to pay a visit to his old colleague and friend Beawanorre by whom he ex pects• to be more politely treated. He complains of the uncalled-for familiarity of the Row-street Officers, who, it seems, paraded without orders, Before his !edgings, in a drapery that his guards had not been accustomed to appear in, which, as a suecedaneum to the rejection of Ms Petition in Par liament, he conceived as having no other legitimate object than a peing the consequence of their august su petiors. He likewise very emphatically appeals to his' Royal Highness respecting the state of that budge of lost innocence, his dress—some part of which, we may conclude, might, without any violent process, be converted into a legal lender. He avers, evidently with some emotion, that the vile pro pools of Ministers, were not confined merely to military traffic, but that they attempted (if we may be allowed to translate his meaning) to commit' a rape upon his feelings, by making him their pane gyrist 1 This was too much, be was not to be sub dued to such a state of degradation—he remained firm to the last, and, like chastity In a brothel, virtue was ultimately triumphant ) and vice left to its native degeneracy.

The reMenstiance, how. ever, was without effect. Admiral Tuonxnnounn, who commands on the Cork station, has suggested to the Admiralty, and obtained its sanction, to allow fishermen to provide boys instead of men, for the nasal service*. The preparatory arrangements relative to the troops of the First Life Guards, ordered an Foreign service, have been somewhat delayed, in consequence of the absence of the Colonel of the regiment; bet as Lord HARRINGTON is now arrived in town, they will proceed without delay. The Brigade of Life Guards and Blues is to eon• silt of two squadrons from each of these three tine regiments. Major-General O'LAUGHLIN, of the First Regiment of Life Guards, is to have the: cont. mend Orthe whole Brigade. Lieutenant Colonel MAC NAB, of the Adjutant.
