SMITH AMERICA. (Front Me Cameras Gazette Extraordinary) VICTORY OF THE ROYALISTS. Dittraleh of the Commandant. Don riiilooio Pia, to his Excellency the General in Chief of the Expeditionary Army. " More I:severe:NT Slit—After 211 hones of • moat tedious march, we arrived early yesterday morning, without once resting, at Motion del Turn, half • league distant from SI. Josef ale Tionailos, where the rebel Bolivar was stationed, with two is than 700 cavalry and 350 infantry. Whew we ar. rived near his encampment, and made prisoner of a servant of his, who informed ns where hie master lay sleeping, the Colonel Den Rafael Lora, ordered that the Chief of the Staff, Don Thomas Reormaler, should proceed with a party of infantry to surprise him. Bnt after having penetrated, with the greatest weeny, through the enemy's encampment, and approaching the spot where Bolivar lay asleep, he en countered the Chief of the Staff; but fearful of the miscar riage of the stratagem, he threw himself towards the spot where the pretended Supreme Commander lay; he, rising immediately at the moment tiny were about to stir. round him, Rid to the mountains with the three persons who aerompauied him. Our party tired, and the three men were killed, among whom was his Priest, Friar Stephen Prada. We remained in this state (they in the greatest alarm) 'still daybreak, when they presented themselves in line-of-battle far superior to ours,their infantry its the cen tre, and the rav:ulry on the two wings. Our line was cum polled of a company of honorary Volunteer Officers, and the squadron of St. Francisco de Tionados, under the command of Colonel Don Rafael Lopez. In the centre the infantry, in closed columns, by the Lieotenant-Colonel of the ' C• 1•11 tlores of Nav-irre; Don Salvador de *ruins's. The left wing wasocciipied by theist and 2d column of Royal Lancers, tinder my orders, and the reserve consisted of the 341 and 4th squadrons, under the orders of Lieutensiot•Colonel Dun Ra mer Garcia. Our cavalry was formed into half columns. The company of Haisgueadores,' commanded by Captain Reyes Alvarado, occupied the whole front. In this situation we found ourselves at daylight, at a haltgunshot from one another. Our line moved on tinder • most galling lire; but neither the superiority of the enemy, nor the untimely death of the Commander who hail wales led them to victory, ap palled these r Ain't troops. " I fell on the right wing of the enemy, and after hav ing routed their cavalry, I attacked the infantry with two small squadrons. I immediately broke their line, our troops attacked, determined to exterminsle them. At the same time the enemy's left wing, commanded by Zama, attempted to huh our right wing, but Captain Dun Miguel Corrion y Asopardo, who commanded the third squadron that was in reserve, presented his front diagonally in so able • manner to cover this wing, that charging the enemy, to. • with the squadron of St. Francisco, they routed hint completely, and decided the action. The example given by the Chief of Staff, Itentivali contibuted greatly to the s h nii" rivalry pursued the enemy in every direction, mak ing a mood horrible re, till we destroyed their renerve. As soon as we remained masters of the field, I Neill Lieut.- Colortel Don Josef %laminas, with IS4I men, to pursue those wbo had retreated by the road of Calahueu : be succeeded; but, unfit, tnnately for its, at a league and a half distance, they were obliged to ',tutu with thrir saddles on their beads, on account of the bail state of their horses, so much so, that if he had had 200 useful horse., this day would have con. chided the career of the traitors Bolivar, ('edrriu, Zarasa, and the rest of their followers. The results of this brilliant artien have been, that the enemy has left more than 400 dead on the Add and 150 prisoners. Anitnig the first, ae reeding to the declaretion taken, are Brigadier-Gen.

The following eittracts from the Caicrelta Mirror. of the 48th tilt. contain the last intelligence Irma the army iii the field : " Letters from head.quarte►s, the 15th January s convey the agreeable news that Sir William G. Keir has fallen in with Clieetou'r durrah ; and cut them up in great style. Cheetoo himself made his escape with about a dozen followers, ■nd threw himself into a small village near Jawed. It is said that Captain Caulfield. who is with 3uswant Row Bow, was goiug to surround the village, and seiie the Chief. Mojor-General Brown, according to the same letter, surprised icone of the refractory Chiefs of Holkar's army. and rabble followers at Ram priors, and cut them up. Itoshou Beg lost three of his fingers in the fray ; hut contrived to make his escape. Three hundred of his followers were in bred. and • number of camels and horses taken. The surprise was irtnirplete, and so astonished were the fellows, that they did not Contrive to wound a single man of outs. It only remains now that we get hold of the perfidious Iseisliwa. The power of the l'esidariewneems almost annihilated by one short and brilliant Campaign; and the subjugation of the States that protetted them promises every security against their future depredations. " It is said a good deal of booty falls to the army under General Sir W. Keir." " CAMP, NEAR OOCIIAR. JAN. 15. 1, We had all regarded hunting down the dories us • very hopeless tusk, but we have just heard that Sir Wm. Keir has completely routed stied dispersed that portion of them under Cheetoo. I cannot tell yob where, and must confess myself extremely deficient in the knowledge of the distri !onion of our troops; but in this respect I sin not much worse off thau my neighbours here—l can procure no information from them. ClieetooTtim self has barely escaped ; he has only about a doter followers around him, and is within a few kola of our troops. All their baggage is taken, and some say, this includes no less than 50 lucs of rupees.— , We fired a royal salute two days ago, on the ratifi cation of the Treaty with Holkar. " General Watson is now in command of this division, his own brigade is broke up, and incor porated with others; the 26th regiment, one of his battalion, are still encamped considerably to our left, but are almost quite well ; the 7th, the other battalion, is alongside of our brigade, which forms the left of tire line. It was dysentery, not the cholera, that appeared among them, and is attri buted to forced marches, bad water, ill-cooked victuals, sod •ant of warm clothing." MADRAS, ?EL 41. The following details respecting the operations of our armies are given in the Calcutta Mirror:— " Our letters from Camp, since our last, con firm the account of the total destruction of the only unbroken dumb of Pindaries under Cheeton, who at the date of the latest accounts was skulking with only nine attendants, in the neighbourhood of Jowhud ; and as Captain Caulfield had set off in pursuit, some hope was entertained that Isis person would be secured. The remains of the Hurrahs, under Wussul Mahn med and Khurreem Khan, have also, after several ineffectual attempts to escape, beets nearly annihilated by the divisions under Ge neral Marshall and Colonel Adams ; and the rebel lious part of Ilolkar's army have in sill likelihood been dispersed before this time, as Colonel Adams, had been ordered to march to Rampoor and attack Roshun Beg's troops, who were occupying a strong position in the neighbourhood of that place. This Chiefs force is said to consist of seven banish ~,, s, some thousand horses, and 16 guns ; it is expected they will make great resistance. The only Mahratta force that remains unbroken, is that under Ameer Kha►►'s Sirdars, who like those of the Nagpore Rajah, do not appear disposed to abide by the ar rangements made by their Chief ; but as Sir David Ocl►terlony is said to have marched to attack them, we may every day look for accounts of their defeat pod submission ; and with these we may almost c ►nsider the causpaigts on this side of India as at an end." " CAMP, NEAR OOCMAR, JAN. 18. " An officer and party of ours left the camp this morning, as an escort to an officer said to be bring ing in the Treaty with H.bskar, who is to subsidize 3,000 of our troops, which, it is reported, are to be furnished by Bengal, and the number of his own is very considerably limited. His whole re venue is not to exceed 17 lays of rupees. No fur ther accounts of the Pvialisva or Nagpore Rajah. I have seen various private letters regarding the attack of the latter, all of which represent it to have been a most desperate business on our part. A General Order was published yesterday, thanking Colonel Macinoriiir and the troops tinder hie com mand for ;heir gallant behaviour at Nagpore, or rather Serinagliur. General Brown, by-the-bye, has also been killing and slaying. Ile had heard that a body of Mabrunet., Ilolkas'is people, were seeking safety in some village iii his way. Several mails led from it. Ile posted on each of these a party of the 3d cavalry, and made a dash himself with another party at the village, and succeeded in cutting off the poor devils." " COLONEL ADAMS' CAMP. JAW. 17. " On the 13111, Col. Adams received intelligence that Khurreem Khan was within seven cost of the cisisp, and had at least 1,000 men with hint, upon which time Colonel detached Major Clarke, with the s:h cavalry, at eleven o'clock at night, and he very luckily came upon them by surprise at day break ; of course he cut up almost the whole of then►. It turned out, that instead of 1,000, there were 1,600, and out of ibis number the Major gave a good account of nearly 1,000. The rest fled in all directions, and Colonel Adams has sent out some Rohillas to list, rcept them. Awing the slain was Natridar Khali. who was considered the eery lite of the party.

THE BRITI SII PRES S. LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 10, IBM A Flanders Mail arrived lust night, with Papers to the 7th instant. The following are extracts : CANBRAY. JUNE 30. The Duke of Wellington has given, ler a magnificent tent, a grand entertainment, at which his Highness the Prince of Hesse was present. His Grace had invited to this banquet several French Functionaries and General Officers, and a great number of Ladies. At the end of the entertain ment his Grace drank the health of his Majesty Louis XV 111. awl the Commissary-General of Po lice drank that of his Royal Highness the Prince Regent of England. The company afterwards ad journed to the garden, which was finely illuminated, and the dancing began. The fete continued till eleven o'clock at night. lIIRUSSCLS, JULY 6. They write from the Hague that the plan of • new Civil Code will be laid to-day before the Coined of State, and that his Majesty will preside in person at the discussion. The Hanoverian troops, it is said, are going to erect in the field of Waterloo, at the very place where they distinguished themselves by their ex traordinary bravery,' a monument, which shall record to posterity their exploits on that memorable day. The execution of this monument it confided to • skilful artist. Ten thousaud francs is the sum to be employed on it. Afterwards will come the monument of our Sovereign, which will not be less distinguished than the others. and which will, doubtless, be placed ut Quatre Bras, the real place where the victory of the 18th was decided before hand by the courage of the Belgians, under the conduct of the valiant Prince of Orange. New barley has been sold in our market, and wagers are laid that new me will be brought in the next marker. The fields from which the barley has been carried was again ploughed, and some of them already planted with potatoes. The fields of French Flanders, Picardy, and Artois, have not for many year' °tiered the pros pect of so rich a harvest. The vineyards of Cham pagne and Burgundy promise wines equal in qua lity to 1802, and exceeding in quantity the produce of two common years. On the other hand, the French manufactories are recovering, and the num ber of workmen increases daily. This happy re-alt is owing to the rigorous prohibition of English goods, the smuggling in of which is almost int potaible. We have received Paris Papers of Monday 1144, but they contain no news of importance. The dif ferent nations of the Continent appear to ►uflrr a very remarkable diversity of climate; for while Italy is deluged by rains, and the 'jeers are so much swelled as to excite the most serious appre hen►ions for the safety of the adjacent countries, Sweden and other parts of the North complain of a continued heat and drying's.. An article from Stockholm mentions, that two large forests had ignited, and that although they continue unremit tingly to burn for the sinter of eight days. the fire hail nut been extinguished at the time of commu nicating the intelligence. Letters from Constantinople state, that the in habitants of the Isle of Skyros having furnished provi►ions to the !pirates infesting those parts, and having carried on an extensive trade in articles ols trined by their plunder, two of the Chief. of the Island were hanged by order of the Porte. We presume they were the wealthie►t persun► on the bland, for on such only does the indignation of the Sublime Porte usually descend.

The exultation, Orr, fore, of the venal' part of the public Press of London ou this event, is as senseless as the clamour with which the armed supporters of the LOWTHERS at Appleby endeavoured to silence Mr. littotiGnata. After the beating they suffered iu die Metropolis, they feel some refreshment in turning to some parts of the country where bribery and corruption, and un due influence, still continue to prevail, unchecked by trial intimate knowledge of public affairs. which, from local circumstances, belongs more properly to the inhabitants of the Metropolis.— The power of the Low-runts hart, however, re ceived so violent a blow front the friends of inde pendence, in the contest just terminated, that we now look forward to Mr. BROVGHAVS next essay at Appleby with confidence in his success. In the mean time we shall content ourselves with advising the Ministerial Papers.to reflect r e p ot , th e elections for London, Westminster, and South wark, and consider whether dislodging four of the enemy from their entrenchments, and securing the triumph of eight independents, does not suf ficiently counterbalance a successful resistance in Westmoreland. Yesterday, at a quarter before four o'clock, the PRINCE REGENT left Carlton House for Kew. Previou« to his departure, he received vivito from the Dukes of YORK and CLARENCE; and also gave an audience to Count MUNSTER.
