Government have received Dispatches from the Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated the 13th tilt. at Torquernada, on the road to Burgos, in which di rection his Lordship was advancing upon the re mains of MARMONT'S army. • A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, and Gib raltar Papers to the 12th nit. The Marquis of WELLINGTON was advancing towards Burgos, be fore which place he was expected to arrive by the 15th, so as to compel the enemy , either to fight,or retreat. MARMONT was at Burgos, fast recover ing frolb his wounds. SouLT's army had en tered Grenada and Jaen.. SUCITET remained sta tionary, watched by General MAITLAND. Sir ROWLAND HILL was at Truxillo. The following ore extracts from the Papers LISBON, 19.--General HILL remains with his advance at Don Benito, to the south of the Guadiana ; he has sent a Portuguese force, which has conveyed froth Elvas several pontons, aud are placing thew on the Tagus at Almaraz. Seuvr remains in the , south, but we do _mot know where his head-quarters are. Generals - MAITLAND and SUCHET appear to be watching each other there are rumours, , but very little credit is attached to them, of an action having taken place between their armies ) , and that the British were victorious. Lord WELLINGTON'S head-quarters. are now at Valladolid. The third division 'is at Madrid ; the 4th at , the Escurial, seven leagues., from that-city, and the. German' heavy cavalr'y at St. Ittlefons6, while - the Marquis scours both sides of the Douro, latterly infested by For's corps, which is now commanded by CLAUSSEL, •who though badly wounded, would not, as is reported pass the coin-. mand to the next in rank. MARMONT'S army is supposed to amount to about 35,000 men, including 22,000 of those who escaped from the battle of the 22d 'July, and 13,000 drawn from the garrisons and other _sources. AIARINIONT is at Burgos, and recovering very fast. . JOSEPH •is made; Generalis4no of the troops in the Peninsula, during.N4roLß6t , ';'s absence in Russia. • LISBON, SEPT:. 20.—0 n the 9th the Btitish army crossed the bridge two 'capes below Valla dolid ; since which time it has been continually advancing and pressing upon the enem - y. The French force is, estimated at 20,000 infantry and 5000 cavalry, besides those. to join at Burgos. The Allies, the Ist, sth, fith, and 7th and General Paeg. and Colonel BRADFORD'S Por tuguese brigades, General ANSON'S brigade of light ,cavalry, Colonel PONSONBY'S heavy brigade, and a German heavy brigade. ' It is generally supposed, that by the 15th our army will have adVanced so' close upon Burgos as to .force the enemy to give battle, or evacuate the place. • • • MADRID, SEPT. 8. —The army of the centre, that is, the 2d and 3d army, after continually moving tor 19 days, at last finally established it self at Heflin. (kingdom' of Murcia) on the 28th August, for' the purpose of observing the ene my's movements. There daily present them . selves. at these. head-quarters an- immense number of French partisans and. juramentados. They first wish to, embrace our party and enter tine Walloon Guards ; the 2d are destined for the infantry . corps. Some juramentado Officers have .likewise.deseeted, but they, as they have appeared at a time 'when the country has •no occasion for .their services, have been -sent as conidion soldiers to Majorca. On' the same day (28th August) General FRERB was, with 1,200 horse, between Allacete and Bonete, and General BASSECOURT in All Ora. It is to this General that the greater number 'of the deSerters from SueuET'S Army have presented themselves, in consequence -of his .proximity to ..Almanza, the first place on the enemy's line.— . The English and the division from Majorca are in Alicant and the neighbouring places. , • On the 234 August, General MINA attacked an enemy's corps, composed of 30011 infantry and 200 horse, on the high Pamplona road, near Tidos ; the enemy's loss consisted of from 8 to 9to men. Ou loss was df but trifling 'consideration. On the 30th August, the French endeavoured to remove the cannon which they had in the'up . - per part of the castle .of Burgos, to place them in the. lower part, and in ordey that all the artillery may be able to play, they have .determined to de stroy 70 houses of the district of S. Estevao... General VILLA Camra according to what. an , other General writes, `oh tlie , twenty-fifth August near Requina (hetween , Guadit and Utel) ,at tacked- more than 1000 of the enemy's infantry, with some artillery and cavalry; commanded by General Baron 'Maros, completely destroying them; the greater part was madefirisoners, others were wounded,, and the remainder saved them- - selves by dispersion. Our troops took two pieces- of artillery, the the ammunition waggons, the convoy, and all the baggage. These troops belonged to the gar rison of Cuenca, and others, -which were retiring towards Valencia. They write from Hellin, under date of the Ist September, that the desertion from among the French is so great, that 'in the space of eight days more than 1500 cavalry and infantry, with their arms and horses, have deserted. The English and the division from Majorca remain in Alicant, where they are constructing a second line of defence, and garrisoning the points of Agoste, Elda, and Castella. . General FRERE has advanced to the n.ighbour hood of Almanza, - which , place is occupied by the French General HARISPE. General BAsszcoußr is marr,hing upon Cuenca,' for the purpose of joining General VILLA. CAMPA. On the 30th Anglia, General NINA was in , ronte-la-neyna,- recovered from his 'wounds, though he still suffered some i nconven i ence w h en 4ke mounted on horseback. _ . LISBON; Sr.r 1 9.--=The. head , quarters of his Excellency the garquis,of rOzaEs VEDRAS Were on. the 10th in Valladolid, but two or more of his divisions had marched by the BUrgos road in pur suit of the enemy, Who. were ,in full retreat. — There is reason for supposing that by the same time General CAsTANos,tivith the Gth army, would be in Placentia and its neighbourhood. • Oct the 14th. September General army `had entered- Truxillo ;- ,a bridge of boats were thrown:over at Almarez, oVer which itpassed. l — army had entered Grenada and Jaen.— SouLT lately had his head-Rivarters in Alcala la Real. • The Madrid Gazette of the 10th gives an ac count of advantages obtained' by General.BAssE couuT-overKing JOSEPH'S cavalry, the result of which was •100 killed, 200 dcsexters,, many mules aid horses.
