On the 25th, they were I preparing to enter Salamanca (and, to fact, it is u serted that they did enter on the 26th). Gen. Hill was to fall on Madrugal and Medina almost at the same time. Gen. Penne was with the cavalry le , Vellar de Ckryoa ; and the letters from Alcanices suppose that some English troops had an engage meat at Zamora, under the command. of General Graham, who will collect there a considerable army, which some make to 'amount to 40,000 men. The same accounts add, that all the troop - , bare left Se. nalirk, except one'battitllon, which wiltimatediately take the same road, Their direction appears tote :.the 13aveza, to join the array wider Gen. Giron, who, on the 29th ult. made a general movement, in order promptly to take a position on the bank of the Orbigo, where the advanced guards have already ar rived. In Leap, are the Generals Salazar and Monso ► with 800 infantry, and 700 cavalry. In Mayorgo,- Castro Gonzalo, and Valderas, are the enemy, and with respectable forces to observe our troops•; all appearances and advice, show that the movement of the latter is rapid, uniform, and well combined. Lord Wellington was, on the lth, at St. Munoz ; 6nd General Castanos, on the 29th, at Marti! del Rio. The reports that have been circulated that the armies have already engaged, and that our troops have possessed themselves of Salamanca and Zamora, are not improbable. The horrors of Castro Urdiales are confirmed. -.

RICHARD OIEILLY. Presiiirat. A. Meeting of the Catholic Board was to take 'keit On Saturday last, at which it was intended to mete bra vote of Thanks to Dr. MlL‘un, fur his ibittleOthduct in defence of the Catholic Religion. At the CATHOLIC BOARD n Efelplio on the Stb hut, Mr. Fists said, that 'he had it that moment re, ceived a thost interesting communication from a highly respectable Clergyman of the 'County Monaghan, which gave a most alarming account of several late acts of wanton atrocities and unprovoked outrage committed by certain Orangemen , of that county, on his Majesty's Catholic subjects. The Clergyman front whom he received this communication, had res ideated that the Board would state the grievances of the Catholics of that county to Government„ in or.. der that they might be protected from mardeP andi assassination ! Mr. HUGHES said that the accounts he had lately received from the county of Monaghan were shocks ing to humanity. A few days ago, at the fair of Clones, a Roman Catholic was murdered by some Orangemen, who were supposed to escape with bag punity. Mr. O'CoNnsu. sugg'sted, that it would be ne. cessary to institute a previous enquiry, in order to ascertain, first, whether the facts would warrant the Board in applying to the Legislature for relief. It might also be necessary to bring this subject before the Court of King's Bench in tile ensuing Term.—• He would, therefore,- recommen4 to Mr. throngs to prOpose; that a Committee of fise be appointed to receive information, and investigate this important subject. A Commitiee, consisting of Mi. n7BOllll, Mr. O'CoPussia., Mr. Scotty, Major' Bier AN, &lid Mr* .

Although General Poorett does not mention the taking any British vessels, yet we are well informed i that a considerable portion of the enemy'd lake Navy, was lying at York, and the other part at Kingston—it is, therefore, highly probible that our gallant tars have destroyed or obtained possession of a sufficient number of the enemy's ships -to enable our navy to chace the residue frohs the Lake. ...- It.is said . that the American Mote F t , ;sex has been taken and carried in Antigua—the papers say by a 74 gun ship. Some of the boats of the squadron in ' the Chesapeake landed on the 3d instant, at a small town called Uavre de Grace, from which the Ameri cans were soon compelled to retire, and a part of the town was destroyed. Papers from New-York and Boston have'alsO been received, but contain nothing of importance. • LISBON AND CORUNNA PAPERS to the Bth instant arrived this morning, from which we have taken.the following extracts : Lims, JUNE 7. Lord Wellington remained two days at Salamanca, then went twenty leagues in two days, and on the 31st reached Carvajales, mar Zamora. The army immediately began to cross the Esla on pontoons ; the Esla is a deep and rapid Over this season ; 40 French cavalry were taken crossing. On the Ist of June, Lord Wellington entereti Za mora, and at four P. M. on the 2d, Toro, where head quarters were to remain till the 3d, and then to ad ranee upon Valladolid, where the enemy's principal force is said to be.—Gen. Hill was also marching on Toro, and some Spanish divisions were moving on Madrid and Toledo, in both of which places the French had some troops so late as the 24th of May. It would appear that the French are not aware of the crest body of our army being northward of the Douro. Lord Wellington's rapid `Movements hare deceived them. _ _ _ _ LISBON, JUNV 6.—Lord Wellington left Sala manca on the 28th, with the hussars; and on the 30th, passed through Miranda, on his way to Carve jales, where Sir T. Graham was. The enemy retired from Zamora at our approach, and had then about 17,000 men at Toro ; his principal force lies between llValladolid and Burgos.—We have received the foi lowing accounts relative to the Salamanca affair:— "SALAMANCA, MA, 27.—We left Martello yester day, and on our arrival upon the heights above this place, we fell.in with the French videttes, who retired skirmishing, and disputing every yard. The enemy WAS drawn up behind the town, waiting the return of their cavalry, which we purposely delayed. In the mean time, the light division kept coming up on the left, the Conde d'Amaranthe on the centre, and General Bill on the right, they kept in the ravines, to avoid being seen. The first moved on the ford of El Canto, the second on Salamanca, and the third on the ford of St. Martha.—When - it was no longer possible tie bide the heads of our columns, the enemy found he had no time to lose, and off. he nent with the utmost celerity. Upon this, we proceeded at • full gallop to the ford at St. Martha ; on our arrival there we met Bean's troop of horse artillery * and Fane's =airy, vitt immediately pursued. " In dapst half an hour wo came up tits, and charged him, killed 130, and Usk 160 pi.;lo - ners; who marched in here last night ; the number ofi _wounded left in the cottages is considerable.' The General's coach, fall of baggage; fell into oar hands. The enemy left this win, about 3500 in fantry and 600 cavalry. OUr loss is unusually small (considering that we received several vollias), of only two men and five horses wounded." ..- EXTRACT OF AN OFFICIAL DISPATCH FROM MARSHAL THE MARQUIS OP WELLINGTON, DATED HEAD QIIAMETS, MATELLA, THE 25tu MAY, TQ HIS EXCELLENCY DON Y.
