The enemy skewed ipise cavalry, and a small body of infantry, In front of tie.town on that day, mid manifested a design to bold the heights en the. south side of the Tonnes bat their cavalry were immediately driven in by our's; and the enemy evacuated Salamanca on the night of the 16th, leaving a garrison.of about $OO pen in -the (oKtificatioes, which they bad erected on the ruins of the colleges and convents which they have demolished. By the fire from these they pro lust the passage of the Tomes, by the - bridgt ; and our troopi crossed that river yesterday morning by two fords which are in this neighbourhood.-1 forts were immediately invested by the 6th division, under the command of Major-General Clinton, and having been accurately reconnoitred, it was fiend necessary to break ground before them; , this was done last night, and 1 hope that we shall commence our fire to-morrow morning from eight pieces of cannon, at the distance of three hundred yards froni the principal of the enemy's works, the possession of which will, I hope, give us the pos session of the others. Major-General Clinton con : . I dueled these operations. It is imppossible to de- I scribe the joy of the people of Buy town upon our entrance. They have now been suffering for more than three years, during which time the French, among other acts of oppression, have destroyed thir teen of twenty-five convents, and twenty-two of twenty-five colleges which existed in this celebrated seat of learning. The enemy retired by the road to Toro, and their rear-guard was about fifteen miles from hence last night ; they retired again this morning by the same road, and I understand that they intend to collect their army on the Douro, between Toro and Zamora. I enclose a letter from Lieutenant-General Sir Rowland 11111 and its enclo sures, being two from Major-General Slade, giving an account of au affair which he had with the enemy on the 11th hest. in which, owing to the eageitness and impetuosity of the troops, considerable loss was sustained. I have reports from the South, stating that General Dallasteros had had an action with the enemy near Bornos, on the Ist inst. of which' I have not received the details of any regular confir mation, notwithstanding there is no doubt of the, fact. 'rite result has been stated differently by the two parties, and it is reported by the enemy that ' Ballasteros is badly wounded ; but they have rein forced their troops in that direction since the action, from which circumstance it is to bu inferred that the seccess, if on their side at all, was not very de cisive. Zero, Jose 15,1814. My Loan,—l have the honour to transmit to your Lordship, copies of reports which I have received from Major-Geueral Slade, relative to an affair be tweets two regiments of the brigade of cavalry under his command, and the brigade of French cavaly un der General L'Allemand, in the neighbourhood of Valencia do los Torres, on the 11th inst. in which I am sorry to observe we have suffered severely, and have not gained the advantage which might have been expected. Major-General Slade had advanced and was to have proceeded the following day in the di. rection of La Granja, to cover a reconnoissance to be made by the Count de Penne Villemur on that day, from !Arena towards Assuage.. The 17th and -29th dragoons under General L'Allemand, which bad been stationed in the neighbourhood of Assuage, had however moved at the same time towards Palen- cia de los Torres, and Major-General Slade was in duced to bring him to' action.

I beg leave again to repeat, that the exertions of the Officers to restore order was conspicuous ; but the two regiments having got mixed in the charge, it took some time before this object could be accomplisbed, during which we lost most of the prisoners we had taken, and suf fered, lam grieved to say, severely.

A dispatch,•ef which the following is an extract, has been received by Lord Viscount Castlereagh, his Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Charles Stuart, Ecl. hii Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary at Lisbon, dated June 23, 1812. Letters from General head-quarters, dated at larva, the 17th, state that General Drouet, hav ing been reinforced by three battalions, has moved forward to Llerena with seven thousand men ; and that a column of thirteen thousand men, under the Command of Marshal Soult, which is advancing from Seville towards Estremadurs, was expected to arrive at St. Olalla on the evening of the rattle day. General Bill accordingly marched back by the road of Santa Martha to Albuera, in which latter position he was joined by the sth, 17th,. and Q. re giments of the line, and the 11th Port,tguese Cana.. dores from Badajos, and by the Spanish troops cruder, the Conde de Pettus Villemur. Lieutenant Strobitz, Aid-de-Camp to Sir William Erskine, took twenty-fire French dragoons and an officer, in a skirmish near Llerena, on the 19th. Admiralty Omce, July 11. [Transmitted by Admiral Young.] Remo...Cute ttelotich..July IBM Ste, —l have the pleasure to inform you, that when hauling over the Droograan yestertlay after noon, I perceived several of the enemy's flotilla that had been exereistng considerably to leeward ita the Welling, and was induced to stand on to ascer tain if there was a possibility of cutting any of the de tachment off, which consisted of 14 brigs; on pro ending into the %Veiling, about a quarter past six P.M. found we could fetch some of them, but from the haziness of the weather was unable to make it known to you by signal, and as standing back to do so would lose the opportunity of disturbing their manceuvres, we plied . up with them as far as Wulpen, firing occasionally in passhig. The wind blowing strong on shore, our superior sailing and working ! enabled us to overtake seven, four of whieb were obli.,ed to anchor close to the surf under their bat- I teries ; the other three were driven on shore, mid at half-past :given were still lying on the beach,with the sea heaths,: .ver them. I trust you will deem all i has been per;'-eined on this occasion that was practi cable, in face ef an enemy's fleet, in an intricate !passage, and on a lee-shore : only one shot struck es near the stern port. From Lieutenant Berrie' had every assistance to be expected from an old oM- .cer and the officers and ship's comp an y beh ave d ! with that steadiness, which I trust would prove sec. oessful in a more serious contest.

LONDON: MONDAY, .ILLY 13, 1812. A Ileligoland Mail arrived this morning. The fol lowing is the only article it brings : HELIGOLAND. JuLY 9. This week we have had an arrival from the coast, but received no news worth mentioning, except that hostilities were immediately expected to take place in the North, and that a peace between Russia and Turkey was considered as certain. Another Auk°lt Mail urived in town on Satur day evening. An article, dated " Banks of the Vis tula, Jane 10," repeats the Report of Peace having bees euucloadd betw ixt ?Asia and Turkey, on. the - 28th of May. It will be recollected, however, that aecouats from Vienna to the I7th of June, (Bs. countenance this statement. Nothing is said in the German Papers as to the commencement of hostili ties in the North; but it was confidently reported yesterday, on the authority of letters from Paris, li dated the 9th instant, that a battle had been (Ought by the French and Russians, in which the latter,had been defeated with the loss of from 25 to 30,000 men. _ That such an event is not improbable, ay.. pears frontihe circumstance of BONAPAIITE having lately collected his armies together, and reviewed no lass•thao 100,000 of his troops at once, in the plains Friedlansl, where, as appears from the following ar ticle, he Toes such dispositions as indicated a d 4. tortalsation to advance immediately to the combat: - 66 Stautr i •Jcsa 20.—0 n the 14th of June the Slartot ibtot t ion . whined to army of ipvioo aratir: 141. 7 - - - of TARENTO (Macdonald)* and the Duke of TOE. vino (Mortier). MACDONALD has taken the corn. mend over that corps, which was under the com. mend of Lieutenant-Ceneral Vut Cft svErtv, and has removed his head-quarters to Tiplau. The cavalry belonging to this corps is under the command of his Majesty the King of NAer.Es.”..... Private accounts state, that the Russians had begun ro act on the defensive, and the Ministerial Journalists commend this as a wire policy. We do not know by what standard these hirelings regulate their views of policy ; but certaissare we of this, that it does not show great strength on the part of ALax.matit wha t he is obliged, in the very outset of the campaign, t o resort to defensive measures, instead of marching out to meet the foe. Can any one entertain a deubt as ' to the result of a contest begun in such eatraerdiaari circumstances ? The Gazette of Saturday night contains the last dispatches from Fad WELLINGTON, with enclosures 1 1 from Major• General SLADS, and General Ilicr.; and from Mr. STUART, at Lisbon. Ship letters, since received from Oporto, of the 25th ult. state, that Marshal MAIMONT had ordered General BoNNET te join him at Toro, with the troops under his corn. mand ; and that he had likewise strengthened hk army by drafts from the different garrisons, From these circumstances it was conjectured, that it was the intention of the French Commander again to ad. 'mice to Salamanca. We already know that the enemy have collected their forces together in the South, and were in full march to attack General HILL, at Albuera. We may, therefore, expect soot to hear of some warm work going on in the Penis. aula. .The allusions made by Mr. WartimeAn, on Fri. day evening, in the debate concerning the Report ni the Secret Committee, open a new and most in. teresting view of the state of affairs in what are called the disturbed districts. It would appear from his statement, that the greatest of the nocturnal meetings we have any authentic account of, namely, that of Dean Moor, near Bolton, in Lancashire, consisted of only forty individuals. Of these, if we understood Mr.Wurreezke aright, it was proved on oath that, at least one-fourth were hired spits; and it was more than hinted, that these miscreants ►►ere the aduat instigators of the meeting—the very men who called the meeting together; and that some of them were the actual ,proposers of the destructioa •f property similar to what afterwards took place at West Horton, which is somewhere in the same neighbourhood. Such always is the progress of the loathsome system of espionage. Needy and unprin cipled men, for suclethey must be who will consent to get money in this way, are hired to listen for se. didon, and report to their'employers. The wages for this work must be greater, and the work itself probably less tedious, than what they are accustomed to. 41' matter worthy of being reported does not offer itself, they fear being turned out .of employment— they fear that their "occupation will be gone ;" and Ithey set about fabricating matter, which it was their business only to discover. But it is said, that though all thismay be true respecting the active spies, who must, in cases of this sort, consist of the lowest classes, their employers ought not to be suspected of lending themselves to a system of this sort. What then ? Are we ignorant what a warm temper, a heated imagination on political . subjects, and still more 'a disposition to show that his suspicions were well founded, will lead a man to do) Are we nerant, too, that there is such a thing as secret service money ? and that the distribution of this it and must be, for obvious reasons, entirely without a check ? May not a man who has 10001. of this money at his disposal, keep half of it in his own pocket, without a possibility of detection? and if he once tastes the sweets ; if lie once learns to " lick i his fingers" in this way, it is not likely that he will wish this secret influence to continue ? Do we not 'knew, too, as we were tvisel; told by !r. Whittle roaca, that fear is'thie most cruel of all passions, and that when once a man is embarked in the system of espionage, he must be conscious that he has thereby incurred the hatred of many of his neighbours. Mr. CANNING eloquently described the uneasy nights and days bribe royal inhabitants of the disturbed districts, owing to their fears of -personal violence. Will not these fears exist most strongly in the breast§ of those, who, by the em ployment of spies, have entrapped their neighbours into the commission of crimes for which some are i banged, and others transported ; and is it not pos sible, that this cruel passion of fear may lead other men, as it did the tyrant ROBESPIERRE, to_ attempt to lessen their danger one-half, by destroying ont half of their neighbours ? If a man then be prorec, as Mr. Wenrrsaxao said, to have been in the habit et hiring spies for years past, we say—Let no such treated. It is lamentable to think, that such' man should succeed in imposing on the Legislature, as ; from present appearances, we fear it is the case Letters have been ie• e;veii from the Caracas, to the 24th of May. MIRANDA'S head-quarters hs4 been removed to Maracay.
