Thelollowing important intelligence was re- coifed this morning at LLOYD'S :- 44 PLYMOUTH; JULY 22.—Arrived the Augusta ' IIIA!,(SCRITA, from Corunna in five days; on the 15th and 16th inst. the French forces, about 8000, entered, when a desperate action was (ought, and great slaughter ensued on both , sides. Sir ROBERT WILSON and Colonel LIGHT were both wounded, the latter badly : report says the French had the worst of it.—The Augusta is in ballast, with several passengers destined for 1 4 ondon, and who arc tenacious of giving intelli- Bence." The preceding statement is by no means re markable for clearness, --perhaps in consequence of the unaccountable indisposition of the passen gars by the Augusta to give intelligence.—lt would seem, however, that the French had ac tually entered Corunna, but Whether Ver a des perate action, or whether the action was fought in the streets of the city,—whether the French • remained in possession of the place in conse quence of a victory, or were driven out of it aftei suffering a defeat, is not apparent.—lf they en. tered Corunna after the battle, then that part of the account is ridiculous which states that "report says the French had the worst of it."—We fear that the simple fact of, their entrftpce into Corunna would be a sufficient proof of dis,- ( aster to the Constitutionalists; and that the prin cipal ground of hope consists in the probability dna the panic-struck passengers have no better authorit7 than report for that very important part ,of their statement. It is not said that any of the passengers are Constitutional Authorities ; and yet, if Corunna had actually, been taken, it is na tural to conclude that some of the Spanish autho rities would have seized the opportunity of escape presented by the sailing of the Augusta. An article in the Quotidienne, dated Madrid, July 16, (see our Foreign Intelligence), says that QUIROGA had been defeated by Bouncx,c, and that the latter was within a short distance of Co runa, which was ready to open its gates to him. The action with QUIROGA, however, 'was, of course, Previous to that spoken of by the passengers by the Augusta. Does it afford as solution of the difficulties presented by their accounts, to suppose that Corunna was given up by treachery,--but that QUIROGA, either with an unbroken force, notwithstanding his alleged defeat, or with such troops' as he could rally after his discomfiture, immediately at tacked the French in Corunna, and fought a severe battle with them,— the result of which was of doubtful advantage to either party ? We throw out this, however, merely as a con jecture. In any view of the subject, iris gratify ing to find; that so soon after the defection of MORILLO, QUIROGA, or Sir ROBERT WILSON, er both' of these leaders, were in a condition to give battle to the whole of the French force 11 1 Gallicia ) consisting of eight thousand men. 8 1- 1 N OFFICE, HALF-PAST TWELVE O'CLOCK. We have just received the subjoined farther ate°4llt, also transmitted to LLOYD'S from Ply '''"th• It strengthens the grounds of hope, that the issue of the battle or battles has been fa vourai --).e to the Constitutionalists ; but still leaves the airair involved in considerable doubt. cc PLYMOUTH, JULY 22._ The brig A u g usta, of a od from Corunna) arrived he this evening An Express from Paris has brought a private letter, which merely states that the French have entered Corunna with 8,000 men.

The result is not known, though it appears, from what our Clerk has been able to collect, that no apprehensions are entertained as to its fate.—lt is said that in this attack 7 or 800 French fell ; that the loss on the part of the Spaniards was comparatively tri fling—the number not stated—butthat five or six Officers have been wounded, and one killed ; that Sir R. WILSQN bad been %wounded in his thigh,and Colonel LIGHT (one of his Aides de-Camp) severely wounded. Our Clerk made particular inquiries as to any dispatches, letters, or official communications, for his Excellency the Ambassador, or Consul-General, but was told that she had not brought any." SUN OFFICE, ONE o'CLocZ. We have just learned that it is reported-on 'Change that there were three different actions at and 'near Corunna, on the 15th and 16th, and that the loss of the French amounted to 2,500 men. FRENCH PAPERS BY EXPRESS. We have just received Paris Papers of Tues day, from which the following are extracts. — Their most important intelligence, however, is anticipated by the copious extracts given in our preceding columns, to which we beg leave to refer our Readers:— Extract of at Dispatch of the Provisional Junta of Murcia, sth July. To-day, at five o'clock in the evening, the stone of the Constitution was destroyed, amidst the transports of joy of all the people, and the picture of our King, Ferdinand, was shown, to the great satisfaction of the people. PARIS,. JULY 22.—The I'ilote of yesterday evening states, that Sir Robert Wilson and QUi roga have left Corogne for St. Jago, with 5000 men, and that they left 3000 at Corunna. tM. Achille JoufTroy, who was going to Ma drid, was arrested at Burgos : it is not known by what authority, nor do we know the motive. The Emperor Alexander will leave St. Peters. burgh the 15th August to be at Moscow on the 12th September, to celebrate the Birth-day. SAINTE MAaIE, BEFORE CADIZ, JULY 11.0-....• We are cantoned at St. Mary and at Chulans ; the Constitutionalists do itot appear disposed to make sorties, but they fire very oftat . on us, and do la no mischief, There came to' us on the Bth a • Spanish _vessel, which l an d e d a great number of Royalist soldiers and officers which were taken at Madrid on the 7th July, after hav ing been shut up in that capital for nine months. The captain-General of Andalusia is .arrived here. with two battalions of the Royal Spanish Guarg. Prince Carignan and Lieut.-General Bordesoulle have paid a visit to Admiral Hame lin on board the Admiral's ship. Count Nauvion, Aid-de-Camp of Gen. Borde soulle, was sent to-day with a flag of truce ; his dispatches ,alone were received, and the Consti tutionalists on their side have sent us one to-day, but the contents are not known. We are assured that after the'lsth, the troops will have orders to fire on every person leaving Cadiz, of which the Cortes have information. MATARO, JULY 12.—The corvette Vichtreuse captured, on the 9th July, near Majorca, a Constitutional Pinque, with 64 Spanish Royalists, who were transported from Carthagena to Mahon. The Express , from Paris brings the French Funds 91f. 75c. ;—Spanish 36. SUN OFFICE, QUAUTER.VAST Two o'CLocx. We have just received authentic accounts from Perpignan of the 14th instant, from which we extract the following. The Reader will not fail to remark the admissions respecting the sickness of the French troops,—the movements of the Mi. quelets,—and the obstinate bravery of the Spa- niards. The French begin now to speak openly of the " conquest" of Spain, and of the " long fu turity" of calamities which their aggeession upon the Peninsula, undertaken for the purpose of establishing good order and tranquillity, has entailed upon the Spanish Nation !—They now too speak openly of the continued military occupa tion of the country ! • PERPIGNAN, JULY 14.—We have learnt this instant that a very serious affair has just taken place near Barcelona, at Molins del Rey. This action was sustained with sufficient vigour by the troops commanded by LLOBEII A and MILAws, who in the end , were repulsed, but who opposed i n t hi s enga gement an uncommon resistance, and such as has yet bad no example in preceding combats. MINA, though very seriously is not dead, and the notice of his death reported by the Per pignan Journal of Saturday, is wholly withou foundation. The head-quarters of the French Army are at t►vo leagues froni Barcelona, and that place is invested by about 16,000 men. Diseases are beginning their fatal ravages in the army. The Hospitals in this Department are immediately to receive the first convoys of the sick. This circumstance is so much the more unfortunate as some parties' of Miquelets appear to be in movement. - - The war now waged by the Spaniards assumes every day a character more afflicting to humanity, and presents two distinct and remarkable circum stances. The difference of opinion on the form of Government suitable to that Monarchy which di vides the nation, and resigns it almost without re sistance to the success of the French, and the im placable and ferocious hatred of the two parties, which has no bounds, and which no human power can restrain, except by force. Thus, after the Conquest, it will require efforts still more arduous to restrain the effects of the fury of the parties, carried to a point of which it is difficult to form an idea, and which announces a long futurity of misfortunes. Papers and letters have been received from Madrid to the 17th inst. The Madrid Gazette of that date contains a decree of the Regency for establishing anniversary honours to the memory of Gen. Emo. The same Gmettecontains an account of the presentation of the Russian and Prussian Envoys to the Regency, and the speeches which their Excellencies made on the occasion. There is nothing in these speeches of the two northern Ambassadors, or in the answer to them, which goes beyond what appeared in those that passed between the French Ambassador and the Regency. The se vere captivity of FERDINAND is lamented, and his speedy liberation hoped for and predicted in all. The pilvate letters from Madrid of the 17th are more important than the Gazelle. A ccoun ts had been received from Port St. Mary of the 13th.— The blockade of Cadiz had then begun to be more rigorous. Two vessels that endeavoured to enter with provisions had been sunk by the cannon of the French blockading squadron. It was cal culated that in ten or twelve days a bombard ing flotilla would be formed for throwing bombs into the city. General BORD ESOU LLE sent every day a boat with fresh water, vegetables, and meat for the King's table. The present had been accepted without any observation. A Portuguese General had arrived at the Duke d'ANGon- LEME'S head-quarters, from Prince MIGUEL, of Portugal, to compliment his Royal Highness on the success of his arms, and to express his hopes of the speedy termination of the. contest. This messenger was instructed to make to the Spanish Government a tender of the army and the naval force of Portugal to aid in restoring absolute power to the King and the Inquisition to the Church. The Regency, and his Royal Highness have taken time to deliberate on this offer. An account had reacted Madrid front Seville, that Sir W. A'CouaT had left that city for Gibraltar on the 10th:, No details are given.. A new plot is formed for getting possession of the King's per son. The in; himself is already in communi cation with the conspirators. Mr. Moo, one of the G overnmen t M essengers , arrived this morning at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, from Seville and Corunna, with dispatches. Mr. BEG° left Corunna on the 15th, one day previous to the action in which Sir ltouctur WILSON anti Col. 'Atomr were wounded.—lt was then expected that a battle would be fought on the following day. SEIZURE OF THE SUN NEWSPAPER AT CALMS. The following paragraph appeared is the Times of this morning : " A letter from Calais, of Tuesday, says —Search has been made here for a contraband number of Tin: Strw of Friday, which was seized with as much eagerness a s if it had contained the pl a gue." We know of nothing which can have provoked this extraordinary measure of severity towards THE Sus of Friday last, except that in our three preceding Papers we had 'entered into a pretty . free examination of the famous Russian Note, which may have given offence to the Authorities either at Paris or at Calais, —we neither know nor care which. The subjoined par agra ph appeared in th e Morning Post of this day, and has been thought by some persons to indicate warlike intentions on the part of our Goverr.ment.—We have been unable to ascertain whether any such orders as are represented have been sent to Admiral Sir 13. II ALLOWELL ; but we can give the most posi tivo contradiction to the ; warlike construction put upon the paragraph :•••••• 4 G An order was received at Chatham on &tut day by Admiral Sir 13. HALLowELL, Port- Admiral, for the whole of the ships fitting in the Medway, which consi s t of four flag. ships and some smaller vessels, to be fitted to their full war establishment.

A number of steamboats were in readi ness to assist the progress of the barges by towing, in case of unfavourable wind or tide. Many cutters and elegant boats, belonging to private individuals, joined in the procession, and the appearance of the whole was extremely ,beautiful, and ex ceedingly well arranged by the Water Bailiffs.

NATIONAL GALLEIIT OF PAINTINGs.--We hear that the noble example of Sir G. BEAuItoNT, whose real love for the arts, and for their advancement in his own country, has induced him to hive his splendid collection of pictures and marbles to the British nation, is likely soon to be followed in another quarter. A recently deceased individual, who be. queatheil an enormous fortune in ready money to his son, left behind him likewise a small but most choice assemblage of pictures, / all of the very first class, which, by the munificent donation of the possessor, are likely to be added to the Beau mont Collection.

His successor, WILLIAM, Wit& of a female branch from Earl RosERT ; and we believe the Duke, now deceascd, otanother female branch from the same Earl.
