SOLEM QT . IS DI CLRE FALWM AUDEAT L 0 iv D 0 INT. TUESDAY, SEP'T'EMBER 15, 1812. 'e this morning received the following letter from our Dover correspondent : ' " Dover, Sept. 14, 1812; 6 o'clock, PM, " A Danish vessel is just arrived from Calais, which place she left on. yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock. By the passengers who came in' her we learn, that the 15th Bulletin had been received, dated the Ist inst. from Russia, which states that there has been another grand battle between the two contending armies, in which the French have again been victorious, the Russians having lost • • - 15,000 men, among.which were 11 Generals The battle is stated to have been fought between Smolensk and Moscow, at a place the passengers do not recollect.; they also acknowledge that the French army have lost 800 killed and 1500-Wound ed. The above vessel has been two years. in Frtnce, and is now bound to London." A letter has also been received at Lloyd's from Dover, which contains the same account, except that it states the 'number of the wounded in the Rend) Army to be 15,000 instead of 1500. We aie inclined to think that onr Correspondent is correct; for it is not to be supposed, that if the killed wvre only SOO, the rounded should amount to 15,0'0, We have this day made some further extracts from the Lisbon Papers. that arrived yesterday.-7.-- The Gazette (published in Madrid immediately after t1“-• &Torture of the French) contains some interesting and gratifying details. It appears, from intelligence which we yesterday communicated to our readers, that SbuLT had, at last, seen the necessity Of . endeavouring to form a junc 'tiop with SUCHET, and that he had begun his morel: for that purpose. There is, how ever, some reason to believe that SUCHET was too apprehensive for his own.safety, to wait for the proposed junction; for it is stated in some pri vate letters that have been received, that SUCHET had hiruselfretired, with, all his disposable force, tg,ooo "infantry and 2000 caVatry, to the r.orth of the Ely-o: If this be true, Sotyr.T.'s situation will be a most dangerous one : his first movements of Course, were ‘vatched by General HILL ; be .sides the raising of the siege of Cadiz has set at 'lib .rty a considerable body of troops that was in that city, which, with the force that was Jandecl in the Niebla Under. Colonel SKER.RET, the Army un 'd'er BALLESTER6S, and 'that Under General MAIT-. LAND, may now all, be employed in - harassing -SOULT in his retreat,. if he„shoUld be so fortunate as not to have it intler6Otea. • His Majesty's ship Goree captured, about the middle of la:4 month, off Bermuda, an.

The remainder was to embark on Saturday, on board several transports, and the whole were yesterday to sail for Lisbon. Notice was yesterday given, that no person would be allowed to embark at any of the out ports for Sweden, without first having obtained a passport for that purpose from the Swedish Am bassador in London. Ili , ;'Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT'S war;- rant for the distribution of the Scheldt prize money having been obtained on the 'lst instant, the pay ments may be expected to commence in the course of three weeks. As Mr. COATES is so ready to appear on the stage for purposes of beneVolence; we think' he should he invited to per Form for the benefit of Theatrical Fun 4 of both Houses, as they are both too heavily burthened to allow that liberal provi sion which the Committee would otherwise, no d:mbt, readily extend to decayed members of the profession. Application is to be made to Parliament in the opening of the Session, for leave to construct a bridge over the ferry of Conway, where many va luable lives are yearly lost, by attempting to cross it at unseasonable times.

The parties had, in the first place, a set to a-la-Crib, an d met next day.ori Finchley Common, each accompanied by a friend.

ITS RESTORATION " The many and important events whiCh have passed in this capital from the 10th inst. to the present, are of such a nature as to fix the 7 atten- Con of all Europe: A simple and faithful'inal:ra tive of them will cause tears of pleasure to be shed throughout Slain, the allied nations, and every part of the world where virtue is not a mere name; at the same time that they draw forth groans of fury and despite from the heart Of Na oleon and his vilesatellites. They are the triumph of the constancy, valour, and• patriotism of the Sphniards, •and of the fidelity, gencrositY, and perseverance of the Allies,---au eternal stigma of ignominy on despotism, ambition, and tyranny,7-- a terrible lesson to tyrants,—a salutary atundrittiOn to the people. tf e- • To prevent eonfusion in our ideas, `ire will follow a chronological _order, as our readers have a right to expect from us a narrative" of events in the same order in which they "hap pened: • , - Aun. 10.—" As soon AS accounts were received of the battle of Salamanca, syniptoms of inquie tude and perplexity'were` observed in the whole Court of Joseph Napoleon, in consequence of the . total rout of the.army of Marinont. The alarm and (bead which this occasioned in the French -and their : partizans, were the, greater', .as they hada blind _confidence in their' strength,. conceiv- • in their troops to ,be invincible, notwithstanding., the Many defeats they had stiffered in Portugal and Spain: This prejudice being thus eissipated, the per turbation and c.onfasion in which they were suf ficiently spewed to the inhabitants of this capital the real 'state otaffairs; which they in vain endea! , voured to conceal. The public joy was manifest edtori all sides. The report of thezreat event was , speedily circulated amongst the patriots, and . the police was in despair, seeing that all their efforts to prevent it were in vain. In vain they emploYed threats—in vain they doubled their spies- - in vain, they filled the dungeons with patriots--:in ;vain they circulated reports which nohodybeliete ( Oe'-. cause they circulated them. Common faMeioo.n. Made known the death of the .uirs'fial, and the struction of his army; and even "the lowest of the people were acquainted with the news. Thedeparture, or rather theflig,htof.Toseph, his - Court, and partisans, !having- been determined in repeated councils of state, it chanced . that about six in the evening of the 9th, some sot diers; who had been stationed to observe the heights of Guadarrama, gave notice that,Aher saw English battalions descending them. sternation immediately spread through the pa , lace,—orders and counter-orders were given,--- ! and at length it was finally determined to leave the city at six 'in the morning of the 10th. This , anticipation increased the disorder of the fugitives. In the greatest confusion, the immense convoy of the intrusive,Government was collected. Mown . - ipg and' lamentation spread through all the houses of. their partisans. Sonic sold their movables for half their value, or 'What 'they could get ; others gave them to be kept by their friends ; and others asked that favour from the insurgents them selves, whom but a few days before they bid looked 'on with disdain. They turned into money r ! all they could save of the wreck of their property. . Unfortunate ftigitives! they were not yet ac quainted with the French ;. they did not yet know that the. money and precious effects, which they had with so much difficulty collected for their sub, sistence on their journey, woald shortly become a prey to the.rapacity of the troops which escorted . them. Many were robbed by their escort,!before they got half a league from Madrid. In fine,!..they departed at ten in the morning, covered with cis,: grace and.opprobrium ; and accompanied by flue' public execration, and their own. remorse.. Tli6. populace of this capital were the joyful spectator of the -exit of this caravan ; and distinguish - ed themselves by theirprudence and tranqUility ; and. with a noble generosity,, even pitied the misfor.;" tunes of.those who had so grossly insulted' and op.: pressed them. - AUGUST 11.—" Arribas and Augeulo, Ministers of Police to the pretended' King, came to Madrid on the 10th ; the former with a large escort, and the latter accompanied by three soldiers ,of Manco's. Both went 'off - at five in the Morniug',of, this day with the remainder of the French troops. It is said, that the obj.ect of their coming was to burn certain papers!, and to save some effects whiel; in the hurry of their retreat they had neglected to carry .way.. AUGUST 12.--The French gar,rison shut itself up in the Retire. From this time the: shops were • opened which had‘been'Shut up for 2 days,"from the fear• which all had of the proceedings of French • on similar occasions of'coufusion; and this capital began to respire, after the slaVery by which: it had been oppressed.. The inhabitants giving themselves up to their joy,. -manifested by their languagei and embraces, all that flame Of . patriotisih which they , bad been so long obliged to conceal. In the 'af ternoon, the allies hegan to ,ente-r, and from that tune the public joy knew no, b9unds. The people of Madrid appeared one single family. Friends, known" and unknown: without difference of age, sex, or Condithin, conversed and embricceff, giving , mutual pledges of the liberty the) had so anxiously panted for. The arrival of the-first English, Spat nish aisd Portnguese officers ,and soldiers, raised this joy to the highest pitch.... Never did ' an c k people manifest with so much -cordiality and energy their gratitude to their deliverers. D tring' this and the following days the acclamations and viSsai which hailed the cohquerors of Salamanca never ceased one minute. The troops of the three na 7 • tions, and the inhabitantS of this great city, em braced' each other, without distinction, and ap peared—what they really are—a nation of bro thers. The doors of all the houses were seen in stantly, adorned, as if by enchantment ; and every thing contributed to prove that the in habitants considered this day as the Aurora of :Liberty. " Brave and generous Allies ! you met MA' with, at Madrid, the solemn pomp due to rani.' triumph, but the people manifested to you their beart,---thatlieart as. constant in adversity, and'. form in it,' resitution, as tender and feeling in its gratitude AuGusTl3.=-.‘r.

AUG. 14.—" The Ret'iro surrendered at noon, at the time when the "scaling ladders were pre. , ,pared for an assault: - The garrison, consisting of 1900 men; marched out prisoriers ; near 200 pieces of artillery, 20;000 muskets; and other effects, (of which a more circumstantial account.will be given); were fOund in it. At. the same time we cannot omit the lively wish ; which the people manifested to again occupy this new Bastile, - where Keneh .cruelty sacrified so many victims ; but the people were prudent and moderate, and, wished, to avoid the sad recollection of their disgrace with the sight of ,their oppressors. On this same day, ica virtue of the Royal Decree of the Regency of the Kingdom, the swearing to the Constitution of the county. took place' in all the parishes of this pital. `f The Council of this capital wishing to offer the Duke.of Ciudad Rodrigo a proof of their gra titude, determined to 'entertain him with a [nag nificenL ball. The numerous 'and - ,enlightened concourse who assisted at it, the decorations of the hall, the abUndance of the wines, fruit, &c. `the order and -urbanity of all, and the presence theOeneral of Europe, offered a picture worthy of admiration,. even' to those more accustomed to those scenes."
