We have this day received Corunna Papers to the 30th ult. and from the intelligence s hich they bring front Spain, k appears that the present object of the Yretich is to effect such aconcentrat ion of their forces, as will again enable them to make a stand against the Allied Armies. 1511.110 A, Aro. 15. The French troops evacuated thi, town on the morning of the llth, on which day, and the follow. morning, the Spanish troops, and the three hat. talions, which had been armed in this Lordship of Biscay, entvied this place. Amidst acclamations and public rejoicings, arrived Senor D. M. Rms. •ALES, C o mmandant-General of the Provinces, and S t mor Poßi.zra, General of the Vanguard Division of the 7th Army. _ _ On the morning of the 13th, the French troops approached, but our Spaniards and brave Slice's!' youths waited for thr.rn at the advanced points, keep. ing up the whole evening of the 13th inst. a brisk 6re, which obliged the enemy to encamp in Vigons, said the fortification of Morro; but yesterday morn. log (the 14th) our troops attscked the enemy, drove Oman from their positions, and pursued them in their retreat to very near Zornoso, our valiant men re. mining masters of this plate: yesterday was a gib.

The ardour with which our Bis. toys° youth run to arum, is deuce of our beloved country, it imoneeivelsk. Already we have three Lunation, composing 3,600 men, armed, but not clothed, and reedy to march against the enemy.— (Exacta Corrvo Corona, Aa;• 23). cORUNNA, Aye. A persou who Wu just arrived from Semanca, three leagues from Valladolid, states, that in that neigh. bourhood the troops which had evacuated Toro were about 1500. These had joined 9000 infantry and 2000 cavalry, which is the amount of the divi elou; its object was to iucrease itself by collecting from different parts. For this purpose it preteeeded to Tordesillas, whose garrison had surrendered to us (tnti men of which yesterday arrived here), thence to Velour Cestioncuva, Villafella, Bernal, and lastly to Astor ga, with the same °Nest as to the other points, to free the garrison, but they found themselves ter. eibly disappointed at seeing their batteries smoking In ruins, the city deserted, and tletir soldiers prison. ers and gone, with the nseeption of a few sick, who eduld not be removed. Now the Vandals are al. veady beyond lieneeente, progmeding to Zamora.— The only point they occupy is Zamora, and even not this city, but the citadel, which b.a short quarter of a leap* on the other side of the river from the former. In respect to the city, this person says, that the Portuguese, under the command of SILVEIRA, with wham we are assured Senor DOU.LAS is, occupy it ; and that the number of the Allies are estimated at tear 12,000 men. That besides these the English, 14,(.,00 strong, %is. 10,000 infantry and 4000 caval ry, aro proceeding from Aran& de Duero by the same road the Preach took, perusing them ; astd that Senor Mutt:outset. wu in Pancorvo.

On the 20th, at night, I was in Ageism, with the Ji%isiou under my command, when I received informa tion from my confidential persons, who were in Vella dolid, that the enemy were abandeningit.

The Spaniards seem not inclined to fight for the re. establishment of the untimitted and tyrannical power of their Nobles; . for the return of their meek 'and pious Clergy, who, for so many years, have been tolling in luxury, and sacking the fruits of their labour; nor for the re-establishment of the holy Inquiiitlon ! The re-establishment of the above ! named bkreinge, are only sought for by the Cortes and the Clergy, supported by the English. This con. duct of the Spaniards, though seemingly marvellous, is easily to be accounted for, as men are not over anxious to fight for that which will ensure to them a life of misery. NArottox, on entering the Penin oula, promised the Spaniards to abolish the holy In. quisition, the tormenting power of the Clergy, and the ; feudal authority of the Nobles ; and he actually set about to perform chat he had premised. And as a i t man may always be believed when he has a serious . interest in keeping his promise, so a majority of the Spaniards may have given him credit for his inten tions. Should this unfortunately be the case, it will fully account for the apathy of the Spaniards, in what is called the cause of their coientry. But we are told how greatly the inhabitants of Madrid rejoiced when the English entered their city—they did the same when the French entered it; and will do so again, ; it fortune, In one of her whims, should cause them Ito reborn ! Letters from Stockholm, dated the 24th ult. men tion, that the Caows Pittxcx was expected to em bark on board a royal yacht there, and, escorted by a frigate, take his departure for Abo, where he would meet the Emperor ALEZANDLIt, who had re quested a conference with him on the conduct of the war. Yosterday we had a Leeward Island Mill, which left St. Thomas's on the 241 ult. The fleet from thence sailed twe days before, under convoy of the Amaranths brig of war. Letters from Mexico to the 12th of May, state, that in consequence of Intelligence that war 'would be declared by the United States against England, all the Americans, thirty-two in number, in that city, were imprisoned, and their property was detained. EXTRACT Or A LETTER FROM HARWICII, RATED Sin. s—" Government having last week received intelligence that a M. lirtoonnaux, who had been some time Secretary to the French Minister at Co, penhagee, was expected at this port from Gotten. burgh, au order carat) down last week from the Home Department, to prohibit his landing whenever he might arrive, to seize his papers, and forward, them to town., M. Vzoonatuz arrived in Captain MASON'S packet the day after the order was received, which was immediately carried into effect by the Alien Officer here. The result has been, that this Gentle man has been instantly ordered back to Gottenburgh in another packet." A letter from Rio Janeiro, dated the beginning of July, seys--" The PRINCE REGENT seems inclined to adopt a pacific system, not from inclination, but from the want of money. The fleet, which is mere parade, without utility, it is espected, under the pre. sent circumstances, will be laid up, and the Officers and other dependents discharged." Some letters from Lisbon say, that a large part of the Marquis of WaLLlNGrow's Army has proceeded towards the North of Portugal, owing to great rein. forceneents having joined PAAamoss's Artty. It was reported yesterday, that a vessel had ar rived in the Downs, bringing intelligence that there had been four sanguivarz actions between the Rus sians and French; that in the three first the Rus sians were worsted, but that on the fourth day the battle was restored by the Cossacks, and the French defeated and driven back 14 leagues. LAuatsTox, the late French Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, was landed at Pillau from a Russian M. pte, on the 7th ult. Dispatches were received yesterday from Admiral SAWYER, at Halifax.

Mr. Nose's's Speech on closing Vauxhall Gardens on Wednesday evening:- 1 LAINIMI AND GINTLIEMFJI,-1 trust you will believe it has been the invariable wish of the Proprietor of thew Gard +,,.:0 reader them worthy of the patronage you have been.leas d to chew them on each returning season, he has, at no intuit aide:able expence, attempted to add something to their 1 4 ,1,411 0 r, to their beauty, and your accommodation—and in doing Ws, It h a s be t a his aneeesiag wish to preserve the most perfect repo-. lathy and good order turough every part of Ins gaocrosinine ost. tl believe, Ladles and Gentlemen, you can testify this—n..d every Foreigner ' who has visited these llardeus, has carried back to bis own land their commecdation, when every weer praise of this our envied country has not be en allowed tb corre late, or even to exist.—if this distioetioo has followed Lie dots of Vaushall, the Proprietor, trader your kindness, ha rea son to be proud of it, and in closing his season this night, heti:. its to return you his most sincere thanks for all the favours you have abewn him:—at the same lime, for myself and all the not ,he Performers, whom you have honoured with your appro. hada., I am to than& you most sincerely—and thus we take our leave of you for the season." Mrs. *emu:4o, who performed the part of Polly on Wednesday night, at Covent-garden Theatre, made her first appearance some years ago, when Miss Dittos. She was a pupil of liamAr's, and contiuurs her profession for the laudable purpose of supporting a young family by her exertions. The iron pallisadoes of the Drury-lane new Theatre are expected to be completed so as to display the whole exterior of this simple, but elegant structure, in the course of a few days. The removal of the arches of Covent-garden Theo atre, may be considered without a pun as an arch. -iiiprovement—the voice which used to dash itself against, and escape through them, in a kiud of spray, now rolls itself unbroken round the Circle, and moves itself audibly in an uninterrupted stream over the very Lobby of the Upper Gallery. According to report, a considerable number of Addresses for the opening of Drury-lane Theatre have already been transmitted to the Committee, aed lit is very probable that more will be presented. The clectisiou affords good scope for talents and fancy,_ and, whoever may gain the laurel, the whole collec tion, if published, would exhibit a striking and not uninteresting specimen of the poetical genius of this count i 7 at the present period. A Kamm TOR A GaWERAL PEACZ.—A late hit, Teller informs us, that in the district of Tempio, iu Sardinia, the villages are often at war with one another. A feudal animosity of this kind, whir* had lasted upwards of half a century, was lately pa cified by the interference of a Monk. The armies of the two villages, amounting each to about 400 men, were, on an appointed day, drawn out in or ' der of battle, front to front, and muskets loaded. Not far from this spot the Monk had a third host , prepared, consisting of his own brethren, with all the crucifixes and images they could muster. He addressed the belligerents, stating the various sins and wrongs that they had respectively committed, and 'hewing that the period had arrived when their dispute should cease; for the account current of transgressions was then balanced.--The stratagem had the direct effect, and a general reconciliation took place ! Monday se'nnight the foundation stone of a new school at Castle Brharn, in Lincolnshire, was laid with suitable ceremony and festivity. The building is at the expence of the parishioners, who have also endowed the school with a handsome sum, securedins lands, for the education of a number of cbildreu of that and the neighbouring parishes for ever. The scite of the building and ground for a play-ground were the liberal gift of Lord Gwydir, the lord of tins manor. CAUTION TO WAGOONINS.—On the 4th inst. as Mr. Townroe, maltster, of Nottingham, was on his way home, about a mile from thence, on the Arnold road, be found a waggoner belonging to Mr. Wm. Stretton, with a ver,' heavy stone lying upon him; and mach to his credit, he released him from his pe rilous situation. mounted him upon his horse, and ceieducted him to the General Hospital. It appears the man had laid down to sleep in the waggon, which was loaded with stone, during which time one of the ailetrees took fire, which caused the waggon to give way; mid while the man was is the act of getting out, one of the stones fell upon him; end though he has received no fracture, his ancle and hip are materially hurt.

Bat whatever may be thought of the tumour of either of those tire Diplomatic Agents, thereat DO denying the facts which they radish.* We are not a little surprised that Mr. NARY should indulge his fancy at the espence of decency, by copying unprincipled articles from a Journal that has been so publicly and so justly reprobated; but his eccentricity has become almost proverbial, and, in the present instance, he appears to have been ilourishing his weapon eery indl•c►iminately in Men. tifying Lord Y/1211011116 character with that of a professed TRAITOR !--The original article alluded to in the above paragraph, was published In the STATESMAN, on the WM of August, 1811, but it • nn means corroborates the assertion of Mr. PURI', respecting the genuineness of the accounts copied from his friend, GoLosurro's Register. Four years have now rolled over our heads, since we entered seriously into the eventful contest on the Peninsula, during which time, nearly oar hundred thousand of our countrymen have fattened the soil of that portion of the globe with their blood, and fed the birds of prey with their mangled limbs.— The advocates of war, and those-who riot on the miseries of others, find a triumphant consolation in France having lost double that number on the same hostile plains. What a picture Is this of human depravity, on the part of those who cement their In terests with blood, and of folly, nay, even madness, en the part of these who willingly become their accomplices ! ! The English and Irish are naturally generous, as well as naturally braes: generosity and bravery form a prominent pert of their national character. The sons of Albion and of Erin, for. get their own sufferings, when contemplating those of others. This principle they Inherit from the . earliest Ages of their cirilizattou, and from this principle, so adorning to their characters and to hoes man nature, they will never relax, unless, like a bow. string, it Is everstreched by the too violent applies. den of the hand that directs it. This may be dons by too long sacrificing the bleed and treasure of Sri. taro on the altar of the Spanish cause, while the Spaniards themselves seem indifferent to the Woe !! The human mind and body, taken conjunctively, can bear but a given portion of sufferings, even when those sufferings are Seaweed by the hope of pro mised happiness at the end of a contest, or by the stifles of gratitude from these en whose account their sufferings are endowed. But when neither hope of, personal reward,ner ratite& from others,inspire the mind with courage to bear ep against the hardships of the body, their patient onderanne mast be propos. tionately short. New, have the people of the United Kingdom any hope of being rewarded by a store of happiness for the sacrifices and manifold privations they are daily enduring on ac count of the Spanish war ? er do they 'met a grate ful return from the Spaniards foe those sacrifices and privations? The answers are plain :—instead of hope of future happiness, nothing but despair and ruin' stare them in the face; and as to gratitude from the Spaniards, how can we 'sped it from tins, while we see every footstep of the war marked by their in. difference to, what we call their own interest ? If we bad not abundant proof` of this want of ientiment and energy on the part of dm Spaniards, mammy lid it in the following paragraph, writtait . lo4argats WIILLIMITON hissing, which we an Sally aware neither the adroestes 0f the war, smash- hirelings, will attempt to costrisalet.. 81.
