It is with the most sincere pleasure that we . . arinotin to our Readers, that Dispatches were Cub morning received at the Admiralty.. from Sir Ho t ya POPHAM, had transmitted a letter from Sir )WARD DOUGLAS, /fated 'the 2d inst. Medina delCalnpo, stating, that he. and .part of SANToc:::,nos's force had joined :tl . 2i Main army. Head-quarz , ers Were at Cuellas. The French had abandoned Valladolid, leaving theli'raigazines, &c. &e. and four thousand of their wounded, who had bee- naadepr:soners. The general appearance of the metropolis last night must have been in the highest degree grati . fying to every friend of this country, and we may say of the civilized world; - it was hardly possi.. • bie, we conceive, to have gone into any street, however obscure, in which some marl of patriotic exultation did not appear in consequence of the glo- TiOdlticSin wisich were sanfirmed by the official dispatches that reached town on Sunday last. We have noticed, some of the principal illuminations which took place in the western and more central parts of the town, but we doubt not thaernanyrnore deserving of public notice appeared in situations which we had no oppOrtunity of visiting. The scene Was brilliant indeed, but it was the more gratify ing as it was in honour of the country and its Allies, and as it may lead, in its probable conse quences, to the downfal of the greatest tyrk - nny that has ever yet attracted the attention of history, and as it may restore that:lranquility for which every nation on earth must have been anxious ever since the French Revolution spread its baneful influ ence upon the world. We anticipate with great pleasure the accounts . which we shall receive of the demonstrations of pntriotiu- delight that this great triumph of our arms will inspire through out the British Empire; nor can we doubt that the several nations on the Continent will most heartily sympathize with this country, though they are obliged to conceal their feelings, on a victory which seems to promise a restoration of their in dependence, and a security against the yoke of a foreign despot: As to the great British Hero by whom this glorious victory has been achieved, it would be presumptuous in us to attempt to esti mate his merits, or, in if 2d, to express our feelings on . the services which he has conferred ,upon the We shall, howeVv, most readily avail ourselves of an extract from rie /Wining Chronicle of this day, not- because we have e ftea,liad occasion to differ with that Paper, for that would be a petty consideration, but because, in the present 'instance, it fully conveys our sen timents, and expresses them with spirit, liberality, and truly British feelings.- " It cannot be disiited; however, that the ' battle of Salamanca w as glorious to the mili tary character of Englittd as 'any that was ever fought, either by sea or Taiatd. It was 4, battle in which the superiority of the intellectual faculties, as well as the physical powers of the. English, were exerted, and in which we had as much the country. advantage in spirit as in bottom. It was a con• test of szieace as well as of valour._. The opera• tioo ret , embied the movements at a game 21aus—it czar e7e to eye, mind to naiad, until e. last it carve heart to heart---and heart carried it! When the history of the battle of Salamanea shall come to be written by, a pen competent to the' theme, form a grand and' important epoch in our military annals." The same paper, in speaking ef the reward that should be bestowed on Lord WELLrricTotr, pro-. ceeds 'to say, that his Lordship " ought to he apPointkul a Field-Marshal of "England, to give him the rank to which he is intitted, and to seci:re to his Country the service of every General Of ficer that we possess to act under him. Our Mi litary readers will understand the value of such an honour. If the Earl of WELLINGTON- were made a Field-Marshal of England, what General would refuse to act under him ? We should have our. Cavalry' under the command of Lord Ux- BRIDGE, and every man of genius in the service 'employed in the line adapted -to his talents and his experience. ' We mention this not as sufficient reward—but as a step 'which it would tie the best policy to confer on the Noble arl.", The Rnssian. Officer who lately arrived in this country, is Baron BRAKELL, a' Lieutenant Col. in the Emperor ALEXAiniER'S Body Guard. This Gentleman is highly respected in his, own coun try,,and we understand that' Inc brought a letter (rotu(the t:lperor, in his own hand-writing, ad dressed to theTti)cE ItzneNT. rhe purport of tie 4tter, we-'are informed, was to: assure his Royal Highness, that the Emperor had determin ed to persevere in:supporting the great cause in which this cg.antrf is engaged, and in which the interests of all Europe are involved, till ge, neral tranghility shall be restored,' and, as far.,as may be found practicable, after the convulsions ,Iyhieh 'have taken place, till the several ations shall . regain independence ani security. Baran speaks in the highest terms of the'ittisin .Army, and of its attachment to its Sovereign. This Officeris soon to return Russia, ;and will dolihtless be charged with ,a mission calculated to confirm the 'determination of the Emperor, and effectually to renew all . amicable connections between tussia and the British Empire. The following interesting communication we received from a quarter on which we place the ... b reatest reliance : So great has been the mortality amongst the hinges in the F, rench Grand Army in Poland, that a requisition for no less than 40,000 has been re - 00i. - 0 in France to supply the lotsea, and, in order to fulfil the demand of the Emperor, it has been' found necessary for the Commissaries to ballot from all the farmers in the Northern department of the Empire the best of their draught 'horses, which are dispat4lted to the Army with the greatest expedition. The deprivation experieneed by the farmers by this prom:ding, at this juncture, sufficiently proves the urgency of BuolunaTes•affairs in the North, and the immens4 !ass he must have sustained in his horses. It was yesterday currently reported, .that ac counts had been received from America, announc ing the Astoration of Peace with this country in consequence of our repeal of the Orders in Coun cil. No authentic intelligence to that effect has been received, but we trust that we shall soon have the pleasure of announcing the fact to our Readers. The Gleaner sailed for America with the news of the revocation of the Orders in Council on the 23d rune, and it is true, that with uncom monly fair wind, she might have reached New York and returned since that period ; but we know, that the Wet:oer had a very long passage, as she was met by several vessels during her voyage. It heightenkld the general joy nn Saturday, to . recollect that t he confirmation of the victory over Buonaparte, arrived on the anniversary of his birth-day.e cannon were sounding frotn both' i shores .at the same time.

The First W e st York Regiment of Militia, which has hitherto invariably manifested a disinclination to volunteer into the Line, last week made e special request, the the General commanding the Kent District, be permitted to join the 33d, Lord WELLlNov.ros's own Regiment ; -and two entire Companios at Sheerness offered, to a Man, to extend their s.trviceS immediately. The number of men who have. voiunteered from the Regiments of Militia of the United Kingdom into the army, during the year 18/2, to the Ist of August an iounted to 7250, of which 5800 were British only.

The heartfelt satisfaction experienced .by the Earl (and by every other person who heard the good news) at the receipt of this glorious information is scarcely describable ;, the news spread like lightning, and the whole town of Deal was in a moment alive to the intindse, and nothing during the whole even ing was heard but congratulations and felicita tions.
