Accounts have been received by Government from Corunna, stating that the detachment of Guards; consisting of 1,500 men, which recently embarked at Portsmouth; had arrived at Co:unna on the 24th ult. at which time intelligence had just reached that port that the Marquis of WEL LINGTON was, on the 15th, within nine leagues of Burgos, and the troops under SANTOCILI3ES were about three leagues in the rear of our army. •Paris Papers reached town this morning to the . 27th ult. They do not contain the expected Bulletin, but Letters from the French Cpast of • the 29th, state -that the Eighteenth Bulletin had arrived , at Paris, dated head-quarters, Mojaisk', and that demonstrations of joy had taken place throughout France in consequence of the victory obtained by the French. For the particulars of this victory we must wait a day or two longer. -- From what we can coiled, however, from the short, unofficial accounts in the papers, it appears that the French head=quarters were not esta blished at Mojaisk till the 9t h 3 two days aftet the battle. If so, it is evident that the victory _they gained could not be decisive, and it will probably turn out to be little more than an affair similiitc; that of Smolenslt We must, hoivevir, wait for the French official detail, or some authentic ac count of the battle, before we can form any de ' cisive opinion of the nature and effects of the ,al leged victory. Since writing the above, we learn that the Eighteenth Bulletin is in town, agreeing, in sub stance, with our extracts inserted this clay from the Paris Papers. A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. The 7.000 men, who were to embark at Gottenburgh, were expected to arrive there on the 23d, and to embark the next clay. The following is the only article worth extracting from the Papers : • GOETENBVRGH, SEPT. 21.—The Royal FanrAly have left Stockholm for Malmae. It is expected his Royal Hizhnesa the Caows PRIWCE will take Gottenburgla in his 'route, where he will arrive on Sunday or Monday next. About .1500 men arrived here yesterday and to-day, and 4000 more are expected to-morrow. _ _ _ The whole of the 7000 men which are to cm. bark here, will certainly arrive on Wednesday, and on Thursday morning, a grand review of the whole corps will take place, after which they will immediately embark. Corunna Papers came to hand this morning to the 23d ult. They state, that subsequent to the arrival of the Allied Arthy at Tprquemada it Lad defeated the rear-guard of Fov!s division, -taking, according to report, 3,000 infantry„ 700: and a considerable quantity of baggage, &c. but phis is very doubtful. Tile following are . ,extracts CORuNNA, SErr..2l.—According to the intel-. ligence we have received in this city from persons worthy of credit, the French are in great. haste erecting fortifications in the vicinity of lrun, with the object no doubt of securing a retreat, .in casi of neeessity., At three o'cloe . on the morning of the Bth, the French precii)itately evacuated Bilboa, at which .moment a battalion from Biscay -occupied the town. tln Santona. there( is only a garrison of 1500 French: - it bcingsupposed•the Governor intended to act treasonably; and marry a lady of that place, another replaced him,"and he Was sent off strong- ly escorted. CORUNA3 S zrr 20.—The Allied Army, the whole of our hopes, lately was, we are assured, in Torqucmada, since which; according to pri vate intelligence, it had routed the rear-guard of FOk'S division, taking, as it is said, 3000 infantry and 700 horse, with a considerable, portion of waggons, baggage, &c. &c. which will not be con sidered as unlikely, when it, is recollected how little FOY was before our army. There are some who assert that the hero 'WEL LINGTON is already in possession ofl?anerado. Our 6th Army must by this.. time ,have: joined the British. Dispatches were sent- off4ast evening from BATnults-T's - Office, .for the Marquis of Witt. LINGTON. Yeisterday, at three o'clock, the PRINCE RE=' GENT held a Privy Council at Carlton House, foe the purpose of pricking fora Sheriff.
