ANECDOTES LOIM WELLINGTON. In the 'evening alter the action With - Slarmont on the 25th September, Lord WellingtOn hea:'il that the of his 'army. Vvere lying - in the Str , , , etS of Celorico for want of accommodation. Not Wit hstanding that he had been on horseback all day, and that the enemy was in his front with, superior numbers, he set off on horseback, and rude. over a tract of country, deemed almost impracticable, 35 miles to Celorico, superintended in person all the necessary arrangements for` the comfort of his sick, and returned to his bead-quarters - -on horie back, having thus, for this huma4 purpose, rode 70 miles. His Lordship declared his intention . of returning in two day§', and that intention he punctually fulfilled, to the surprise of every body, having . thus, in addition to his ordinary exertions and fatigues, which it is unnecessary here to, de= scribe (the enemy being in-his front), rode 140 miles to see that' his sick soldiers Were properly taken care of. Lord Wellington afterwards found himself_ rather unwell, but the only remark he made was the following,:--I ain afraid ,this cam paign will knock rile up—l am rather tired !!! At the assault of Ciudad Rodrigo, Lord Wel lington was on the breach a few minutes after the forlorn hope ; and (hiring the whole siege was constantly on the trenches and batteries, observ ing andlorwarding every operation. When the gallant Earl moved down to Ba dajo z, in MaylBlo, he travelled on horseback, with such expedition that he left all his attendants be hind him. He arrived at the last stage by himself, covered with dirtand drenched with rain, and imme ateFy went to the first hovel he saw, and inquired whether the inhabitant had seen a Portuguese or!- derly, who had been stationed there with a fresh horse. The occupier of the hovel took him for some English messenger, as he was without any insignia to distinguish him, and desired him to wait in a miserable barn until 'inquiry could be made. He soon "foam' the Portuguese orderly, who told him that the supposed messehgev mustbeLord Welling ton, as he was'Stationed there with a horse for his Lordship. ThiSs was immediately communicated to the inhabitants of the village, 'who all flocked the'larn to see the deliverer of Portugal, whom they found sting iu the.,barn,- on a rude kind of seat, and to Whom they immediately paid the same marks of respect that would have been pl r tid td their own Sovereign. They even expressed an.: enthusiastic desire to have a more complete wiew of him, to which. his Lordship assented, with his usual good humour, and he actuallyremained in the rain till they had taken a full view of him., when, inquiring if they were satisfied, he proCeeded to his horse, and continued his journey with the same rapidity with which he had commenced it. - ,Government is in hourly exvectAtion of more important tidings from 'that gallant officer Sir HOME PortrA,m, on whose bravery; knowledge, and experience, great reliance is plated. Her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES entertained a small party yeSterday,at. Kensington Palace. Lord COCHRANE transacted business at the Ad iniralty on Saturday,. Viscountess CASTLEIMIGH on Saturday gate a grand suppectO a select party of Nobility, at her house in SE. James's-square. FASHIONABLE AMUSEMENTS.—There were three entertainments last week which attracted a Consi derable number of the fashionable world, and were highly gratifying. The first was a .iiejezmc given by Madame STORACE thid BRAHAM. on Wednesday last, at their Cottage, Herne Hill, near Dulwich. An elegant gold collation was provided, and many musical Professors attended. STORACE, BIAHAM, Mrs., BILLINGTON, NALDI, iOVEDINO, jun. Mrs. DICKONS, Miss lifuonES, anal Mrs. Asnz, all exerted their powers With great effect. Sir GEORGE SMART and SALomoN also contributed to the general entertainment; and , Miss GOLDSMITH, in duet with the latter, 'dis played great skill on' the Pianoforte. The Duke of SUSSEX was present, and sung..." The British Grenadiers " with much humour and spirit. , ---The second entertainment of the same kind was given by ALBlNlA,"Countess of. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, on, Thursday last, at her house, in the' vicinity of Grosvenor-place. It was in .the Venetian style, and afforded much pleasure, The Dukes of Sus six and CAMBRIDGE, as Well as Vac French Princes, were present. -The third dejeane was given on Friday by Mrs. WILSON at Craven Cot"- .tape, Fulham. A large' party, attended, and the whole was rendered very pleasant by the assist ance of several musical performers. --The inhabitants of Blagdon, in .Sotnersetshire, witnessed a remarkable phcenomenon on Satur day last : about four o'clock P. M. a quantity of hay, suppOsedto be 200 weight, was caught up by a whirlwind from a field in the occupation of Major Partridge., whilst the air around was per fectly calm, and was carried high ,e..soVe the, clouds over Mendip Hill. A number . of rooks ancLswallows immediately collected together, and darting up; withanuelt clamour amongst the scat tered hay, were seen pursuing it in circles through the air. On Thursday afternoon, a fire broke out at the village of. Gamblingay; in Cambridgeshire.' It began at a blacksmith's shop, and for want of engines, water, and proper assistance, it con sumed 23 houses. Saturday morning, about eight o'clock, a Mr. G. residing in Joiner's-place, Westminster-road, discharged the contents of a'pistol through his head. Pecuniary einharrassments are assigned as the cause. A . clerk in Bank put an eud to his existence, by shoothng . himself with a pistol in Kensington gardens, on Friday laSt. On Saturday morning it was discovered that he had committed forgeries in the purchases of Stock ton considerable amount. On Sunday morning, about two o'clock, a Na val Officer, in a fit of insanity, .threw himself out at the window of his lodgings, on the second floor, in Southampton-street, Covent-garden, and 'was killed on the .spot, Another ,very destructive lire has taken place at Archangel, 'Amongst the buildings consumed by it Were the premises of Mr. Bracts, containing sugar to the value of 800,000 ru bl es . A surgeon of considerable eminence, in the vi cinity of Finsbury square, shot himself on Thurs day morning. BRISTOL, JULY 1. The attempt which has been made to inflame the of the lower classes in this city, and to try how iLir thc,y could be rendered subservient to slemocratical principles, has eomf;iitely failed, and liar evidently estranged many of . HoNT's more en: lightened and passive friends (a few Rich; we regret to find, are among us), but among the middling ranks of our citizens, and our mechanics and. journeymen, the effect has been surprising In; deed! HUNT has not polled more than 30 votes since, and those who now follow him to the Etx change Pedestal ate led there merely by curiosity to listen to his balderdash, and be amused by his grimace. 'His talents at mimickrv' are consider able,, of course attract the Carmine. But when the farce is over, and he is returning to his Inn, about 30 idle boys, and a dozen of the lowest of our prostitutes,' are all who attend him. Mr. DAVIS has properly availed himself of the demo crntical slip of his opponent, and turns it to. good account, both in his printed addresses, and in his brief but excellent' speeches, which, on the con clusion of each_ day': , , poll, he makes from a win dow of the White Lion. He has very ably ex posed HUNT'S principles and intentions, so that it is highly probable that the singular opposition with which he has had to contend will, in its fu ture consequences, be of great service to him: It has justly and greatly advanced him in the esti •mation of every loyal and good man, awi Was af forded him an opportunity of enabling his fellow citizens to' appreciate the talents-of their future representative Grimace, violence, and uproar, have been alt on the side of Mr HUNT ; humour, and loyalty;. on that of Mr. DAVIS.— Some sportive eitations Issued by the party of the latter, in the form of play-bills, &c. though.lo cal, are characterised by so much humour and point, as to merit a place in the London Jour nals.

A dispatch, bf which the fdlidwing is an ex z . tract, has been this day received at Lord Bathui:AA Office; addressed to the Earl of Livk.rpOol, by General the liarl'of Wellingto'n, dated Salamanca, 18thlune, 1812. The army Crossed the Agueda on the 13th in-' stant, and marched forward in tihree columns, the troops under Don Carlos &Espana forming a fourth ; and the whole arrived-upon the ‘Tainisa; a rivulet about six miles froth hence; on the 16th. The enemy sheaved some, cavalry, and a small body of infantry, in front of the town on Clat day, and manifested a design to hold the heights ' on the south side of the Tonnes, but their cavalry were immediately driven in by ours; and the . enemy evacuated Salamanca on the night of t he 16th, leaving -a garrison of about eight lnindred mcn in the fortificaticriis 4hich they had erccted on the ruins of the colleges and convcizts whiCh they haVe deinolished. By the fire froth thOse they protect the passage of the 'formes, by the bridge ; and onr i troops, crossed that river yesterday morning by two fords which are in this neighboorhobd. The forts Were immediately invested- by the 6th division-, under the command of Major-General Clinton, and haVing been accurately fecontitred, it : was found necessary -to break grouritf before them ; this was done hist night, _and I hope that we shall commence our fire to;uiorrOw morning from eight pieces of cannon, at the distance of three hundred,yards from the principal of the ene-; my's works, the possession of which will, I hope, give .us the possesSion of the others. Major; General elhit6n Conducted these operations. It, is impossible to describe the joy of 'the peo-; ,ple of the town uporr our entrance. They have now been suffering for more than three 1 - ears'; during which time the French,- among other acts Of oppression, have - destroyed thirteen of twenty five convents,- and twenty-two of twenty-five Colleges which existed in this celebrated seat of learning. The enemy retired by time road to Toro, and their rear-guard ~was abOut fifteen miles from hence last-night . ; they retired again this morning by the same roadiand I understand that they in tend'-to collect their army on the Douro, between Toro and Zamora. . - I enclose a letter from LEetitenant-General Si: Rowland Hill and its inclosures, being two from.. Major-General Sl,a2e, giving an AcCount of an, affair which he had with the enemy cn the 11th instant, in which, owing to, time eagerness arid ' impetuosity of the troops, considerable loss t. is sustained. i l opi I have reports from the South, stating t e neral.Ballasteros had had an - action With t - m 7; near !Bornos : . on the Ist inst ant , o f w have not received the details, or a n y regu l a firmation, notwithstanding there is no don of the fact.—The , result has been stated differently tby the. wo parties, and it . is 'reported Gy the enemy that Ballasteros is badly wounded ; but they have reinforced their troops in that direction since the action, froth which circumstance-it is to' be.inferred teat the success, if on their side at alji was not very decisive. MY LORD, Zafra, June 13, 1812. I have the hondur to transmit to your Lord ship copies of reports which I have received from Major-General Slade, relative to an affair between two regiments of the brigade. of cavalry under his command, and the brigade of -French cavalry nailer Gen. L'Allemand, in the neighbourhood of Nra , lencia, de los Torres, on the 11th inst. in which I am sorry to observe we have suffered severely, .and have not gained the. adVantage which might - have been expected. - Major-General Slade had advanced and was to have proceeded the.following day in the direction of La Granja," to cover a reconnoissance to be made by the count de Penne Villemur on that day, from Llerena towards Assuaga. The 17th and 29th dragoons under. General L'Alleinand, which had been stationed in , the neighbourhood of Assuaga, had, however, moved 'at the same time towards Palencia de los Torres, and Major General Slade was induced to bring him to action. Whilst I forward these reports to your . Lordship, I shall feel it my duty to cause further inquiry to be made into the circumstances of this affair, and shall have the honour Of communicating them to your Lordship,. . _ 1 have the honour to be, .&e.

SIR, Llera, June 11, 1812, I.i . ..riff-past Four P. 111; I beg to have the 'honour , of stating to yon ; that the enemy, whom I reported this morning to have been in Valencia, advanced upon this place., about nine o'clock,' with the 17th and 29th regi ments of dragoons, under. General L'Allemand. I immediately advanced with the 3d dragoon guards and Royals, attacked and pursued him. nearly three leagues, to within a short (I;ga:ice of Maguilla, where I had an opportunity of charging him again, broke his first line, and 1.4.11- ed a great many, among the number a Captain. of the 29th dragoons, and we took an Aid-de.- Camp of General L'Allemand prisoner. ' . lam sorry to say our loss bas been severe as the enemy brought a support, and My troops being too eager in pursuit, we were obliged to re- linquish a great number of prisoners which . -# . e had taken, and 'to fall back upon this place. Nothing could exceed the gallantry displayed by the officers and men on the occasion, it wl;ich. Colonel Sir Granby Calcraft and Lieutenzint-Co-, lone!
