The following intelligence, which we this morning received from Plymouth, though we think in many parts too highly eo= . loured, yet shews . that some decisive ?)low is' . on ,the point oLbeing struck in Spain : " PLYMOUTH ) SEPT. I'LL-By the ,Rota, which arrived here-yesterday, the following Intelligence is received : that the Marquis of WELLINGTON was nt Olmedo on the 6th irisf; SouLr's Arnie ,i reported - to be comp:etely surrounded. by the forces under his Lordship, General HILL (who-is. in communication with Madrid; where his Lord ship left two divisions of the Ariny) and Genera! MAITLAND. SOIJLT has thus no Other alternative but to fight with desperate odds, or to surrender'. The intrusive King JOSEPH is gone to Arragon, and the advanced posts .6f the Allies extend ,to Toledo, and Aranjuez. Bilboa, the capital of - Biscay, is occupied by the Spaniards, under MEN fee - s pizABEL, who lso little fear of any further interruption from CAFFARELLI, that he has marched with a detachment for Santona, to co-operate with the British attacking'it. `bAL,LASTEAOS is reported to be harassi :c c ; the rear of SOIILT'S army, and General MAITLAND is said to havebeat SucHET.. Malaga was 'evacuated by the French on the 27th August, after having destroyed the Casty of Gibralfaro. General HILL had on the 7th Sept. united Xll 13s forces at Vifianova de la ena. " The Rota left in theTai...its his Majesty's ship Impetue:tx, and the packet; D;tke of Kent, Captain COTESWORTH, arid ,D4ke of Marlborough, Captain BULL; the latter arrived at Lisbon on the 13th. These packets were kept there to wait the issue of the expected battle. " ThePylades sloop of war, with Major-General OSWALD, sailed from Lisbon for Gibraltar the sa me day as the Rota departed for England. " Lieut.-General the Han. Sir EnwARD PA GET, and Brigadier-General BARNES, with their respective staffs, proceeded to join •the, army on the 14th. " The Sabrina was expected doily at Lisbon, from Oporto, withatlarshal BERESFORD , who returns for tly2 benefit of his health. Lieut.-General LEITH was recovering fast, and probably would be en abled to resume his military duties in about six weeks. The Jasper, and a convoy of- trans ports, with in7glids and wounded soldiers, 1000 French prisoners, and 1 . 50 - officei.s, sailed on the 10th inst. The Standard and St. :Alban's averts expected from Cadiz to convey home 600 more prisoners. Fire thousand prisoners are waiting at Lisbon to be brought to this country, about 200 of which are daily employed in the arsenal. One hundred and fifty prisoners arrived in the Rota." We this morning received Quebec Papers to the 13th of August, from which the following are extracts QUEBEC, AUG. 13.—His Excellency.the Gover nor in Chief set out for Montreal between 4 and 5 o'clock on Friday morning. The troops which were,encarnped on the plains, have also proceeded £ , Jr the upper district. We see by the American . Papers that they are attempting to deceive the people of that country, a second time, with regard to the disposition of fie Canadians. • For the past we refer them to , the reports: of the Commissioners sent into this Country in 1775, with the pious 'mission of converting the people from the errors of loyalty, to the light of rebellion; and to the dispatehes of their Generals here in 1776. For the present we have already. referred' them to their own countrymen, who have left C tnada since the declaration of war. If they will he deceived, they may cherish their error. The greater-the delusiont the greater their dis comfittire. We would advise them, however, when fabricating the next address to the inhabi tants, to Apply to the people of Baltimore for a paragraph On " Liberty i"' to the host of thieves, arvir.diers, and countedeiters, Who have occasion ally ally visited us from thenited.Staies, for an ar , •ticle on "Property." The Governinent, ima gine, can furnish all that is necessary to be said about " Respect at home and abroad‘;" and what more do they want to vamp up a spirit-stirring :"! ,Oh yes, the`' want a few wo:As from in''':"r" RODGERS, about " courage, gener ,, - they want Mpnsieur SERRU-. mil to tut Ale wtole French, and he can add, on the part of his master, a sentence or two about " justice and good faith," andrqhe liberty of the seas."

[FROM TTIE AMERICAN PAPERS.] ZANESVILLE, JULY 22.—We.are happy to an nounce the glorious news that Gen. HULL and his army have landed safe in Canada, with little or mo pposition, and talsen possession Of the town of Sandwich, two miles below Detroit .on the Eng lish Side.—There is no mar to this pleasing hews but the capture of a number of Americans in some vessels laden with provisions and some baggage of the army, among whom we are sorry to - learn • is Mr LEWIS DENT, Paymaster, from .- this town, Capt. JonN SHARI', of Marietta, a Lieu:, tedaiit in the 4th regiment, some - women, and others. It is said the total prisoners are about 50, and the loss of property 40,000 dollars (in cluding probably some vessels not here enume rated.) The report of Mr. fluomEs, chaplain of the army, and two of 'Colonel ByxßEE's (lau gh terS being taken, is unfounded. The post rider last evening 'direct from . Urbana, • and Who brought us ,General num.'s • pfaclatnation of the 12th inst. states, that a Quarter-Master had arrived at Urbana, fyotn Sandwich, who verbally gave the Melancholy information that .after crossing, the river, a soldier in the act of trying his gun, not supposing it loaded, it went off and the ball passed through Major Myr:- • SONS arm and entered his body as he. was ,go ing into hiS tent. He was not expective to five. Col. CABS, after the army arrived at DetrOit (which, was on the 6th ,and 7th) went to Fell 'Malden, with a flag of truce, .and demanded the prisone:•s, but without eft . ect. By deserters it wus rained that the force in Malden consisted o: alkout 1100, 700 of -;vhom arc Indians. Last nisht Paris Papers to the 23d inst...reached town. They contain two unofficial letters, one from BUONAPARTE's head-quarters, and another • from \Vilna, stating- fa:tt the Russimis had, been defeated at Mojaisk. One I.4etter says the victory was on the 7th, and the 'other that it was on the Bth inst. but they give no particulars. The accounts, therefore, rest solely upon the autho rity of the French Papers. • We also rebeiVedAmc tican Papers to the 12th alt Meetings Ira e been he;(1, and very strdng resolu tions entered into, in various parts of the United States '_against the. war, which is very generally unpopular: T,hc fact Of an armistice having been 'concluded on the frontiers of Canada is,confi-ruted.'
