r - By a u ntie* from the Baud of Trade yesterday, we l e arn, that all American vessels, having llamas to l,oport lii.her cargoes, and to depart in halls*, will b e allowed to load oitli cargoes from the Visited States, if they be pa Fete belong to American *wars. Th e instruction fur that purpose will probably be issued this day. The Lucia, HATDoa, from London to' ?law p ork , is detained by the Maros sloop of wan' and a rrived at Portsmouth. Th e Lady who followed her husband to the fled of battle, near Salamanca, on the 22d, and found him among the slain, was the wife of Captain Piss con, of the 7th Fusileers. She is now at Stlaniknea with her two children.

The Doctor immediately arcaded, and attempted to let blood, but without effect, the la•ly was quite (lead. S:.reral Officers of the Royal Engineers have been ' ordered to proceed immediately to Canada and Nova licotia; and we understand that a detachment of ar ti;,:ers, &c. belonging to the same corps, are also to be sent to that quarter. During the late campaigns the engineers have been much more employed than formerly; particularly on services of the most im portant and difficult nature. lit the storming of for tifications, what is called the Forlorn Hope, is'now always part of the ditty of the Engineers; and in these honourable though mast dangeroes euterprises they have of. late obtained so much credit, thecae additional degree of renown is attached to this valiant and distinguished corps. A singular appearance was on Tuesday night ob. served Ist the heavens, from the Royal Qbservatori at Creenwich, and the vicinity, about half-past eight o'clock. The sky was unusually clear, and the moon shone with resplendent brightness ; not a cloud was to be seen but in its immediate neighbourliod, and that of iticonceivable beauty and magnitude. It pre. seined to the admiring gaze a most beautiful mixture of ebony and gold, and at the top, sweets, or rather slight shades of these, extended to a considerable di stance.

Von observe," Milistosn ORStuded his floe by an teror in judgment, so as to Mit an minister into the hands of Lord ii t trOtwetsse, and that It was the conviction of advantage in thenseevring that iu duced M %astern to risk a battle." Nothing at all of, this appears to be the case, from several very able views and reasonings upon tits subject by British Officers, which I hate now before me. MAnalOws attacked our troops, notwitlntanding their intonese superiority, and his total deficiency of cavalry, ,either from positive orders from Ring Jesuits, or from some view of his own ; cud the eatendlug his line wits merely the consequence of his weakness, and probably from that mister, of arrogance and esehooss which distinguishes the treads, **teems qeence of having so often conquered under the mon _disadvantageous circumstances. The action might re. silt also materially from their general object of de stroying and weakening their enemy's force, when a second action is in view. This was in some measure the case at Talavett, where they at first made a dread ful attack, with no other apparent view, than cutting down as many as possible of their enemy, and Oen immediately to retreat. In the present case, hew ever, it is most probable, that the EstrutOK hadsent positive orders net to suffer the English to pass Sa lamanca without a battle. The next affair will be the most trying, since, if Lord WELLINGTON should deem au advance towards Madrid advisable, he must encounter the united French force—a battle, how ever successful, which cannot be expected to cost in less than 20,000 men. Our loss, at the battle of 'Salamanca, on comparing various authorities, I ap prchend, cannot, at the lowest estimation, be than 6000 British; for as to the garbled account:B,o - given to please the good folks of England, they are enough ridicaletevery where else, and by all the people here, who_ have not qnite lost their common sense. . • ... The. Motssing Post, and other hireling Papers, both in Spain and Portugal, and here (for as I have formerly explained to the Public through your Paper, we have our news-manufactory in every part of Eu rope, to which ere can obtain access), these/he:ere of wonderful news for Jou' BOLL, have stated 81.ta ketree force at the battle of Salamanca as three to two, or as forty-nine thousand strong, whilst our army consisted of only thirty-two thousand. Nov, by the universal tenour of my letters, and from peo ple, who meld have no interest to deceive, Mse stoefi whole force was somewhat inferior in number to the British, without at all reckoning either our Spanish or Portuguese fillies; in fact, much In the same way as it was at Albuers; but our cavalry gave as a most decided superiority. As to the known excellence of British troops, or the skill and courage of Wet.s.tsurrost, my opiuiou of theta Is too lofty to say a word. .
