Dispatches were this morning received from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Madrid,.the 20th byt, their contents have• not transpired. We this morning received Lisbon Papers to the 30th ult. from which we have extracted some im portant and gratifying intelligence. The evacua tion of Cadiz lifts been followed by that of Seville, where the French left very considerable magazines • Before his departure, SOULT published a.Procla mation, in which he informed the inhabitants that he should, on some , future occasion, come, back, and claim the magazines which he left behind him. The French took the direction of Cordova. This morning a Gottcnburgh Mail arrived. The iatelligence which it brings from the Armies in F. , issia is not of se; late a date as that contained in the French Bulletin; it is however interesting, as it serves in many instances to.correct the ex aggeration of the French accounts. Lord CATHCART has had an audience of the Emperor ALEXANDER, by whom he was-received in the most gracious rnanne'r. We this morning received the Quebec Mercury of the 29th July. It contains an Address from seve ral ." Members of the Iledse' of Representatives of the Congress of the United States to their Constituents, on the subject of the war with Great Britain," which we shall lay before our _readers to-morrow. This paper contains no news, but we have ex tracted the following article to thew that the Americans are already beginning to imitate their Ir►P•;dg, the French, in the accuracy of their narra ti 't Intelligence has just been received that the United States brig of war Oneida, of 18 guns, has captured, after a desperate action of four hours, the British ship of war Royal George, 0f:22 guns; on Lake Ontario, and - has sent her into Socket's Harbour."—New York Morning Star, July 16. ' Upon this article, the Quebec Mercury makes the following observations : ' " The above our Readers will perceive to bel\T'evr York currency, than which nothing can be More spurious. From unquestionable authority we Pointedly and flatly contradict the paragraph, by assuring our Readers, that a letter his been re ceived at a respectable quarter in Quebec, from Upper Canada, dated the 21st instant, four days subsequent to the date of the Nev ti York fabrica tion. The =letter says that the Royal George had sailed in search of the One%da, and that the latter had, in ,consequence, taken shelter in Sachet har bour, where she landed her guns and men, and formed a battery on- shore, with her , guns, for her defence." The Cork Paper of the 9th, contaias thefol- lowing article : The Virago gun-brig arrived in the Harbour this morning, from a cruize; she fell in yesterday with a brig, 21 days from New York, boku,d up Chan nel, and which proved to be a cartel With English gentlemen on board. Tile brig stated, that the rescinding of the Orde-s in Council had been received in America prior to her depaiture, and was not considered by any means satisfactory. We this morning received the -following letter from Dover, and we have no doubt that the esti mate of the French loss ii the battles before Smo lensk is under-rated 1." By a French privateer, which was captured yesterday morning by the Bermuda sloop of war, we learn, that in the three battles fought at Smo lensk the French lost 20,000 men. BUONAPA.P.TE and Staff were at one time totally surrounded by the Russians ; but observing a weak part, they made a grand push, and effected their e3cape." Captain DYNEL-,-, who was taken in the skir mish which took place immediately btifore the en trance of the allied, troops into Madrid, has written hotne to acquaint his friends that he is in good health, and that he is treated with the greatest kindness by JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, whose army he accompanied in its flight from Madrid.— Captain DYNELY has constantly dined with Jo- SEPH BUONAPARTE i who always placed him at his right hand at table; PLYMOtTH, SEPT.
