SOLEM qi.ns imp= FALsum AuDeAr ? L 0 N D 0 N, MONDAY, AUGUST 10, 1812. We are still unable to relieve the public anxiety respecting the battle in the Peninsula. Some doubrhas been thrown upon the authenticity of the news, because no. accou,nt of a battle had reached Vigo 'on the 29th ; but it. does not ap. pear that any argil - ment of weight can be drawn from that circumstance.. The news did not reach Corunna - till the nightof the'2.7th, and was not published till . the . 2Bth; it is therefore not at all • . . • extraordinary that it .should• ; not, have reaehed Vigo (considering the, distance of that place from Corunna, and the'bad state of the 'roads in nein) on the 29th: . LordWELLINoTpN; of cours;., would not send an account of the battle direct .to Vigo -- ; it would therefore' travel circuitously by ..Vay. of Corinna. - Another circumstance which has excited doubts in the minds of some pewits, is the length of, time which has . elapsed since the battle took place ; a moment's reflection, however, must be sufficient to shew that the non-arrival of the official dispatches cannot be urged as an argument either one way or the other. The dispatches were, we presume, sent by way of Lisbon. The bearer of them would not, -probably, he able to set out - from the camp before the morning of the 24th, as it would take some time to prepare the returns, and we may allow him five days' for his journey to Lisbon. The length of the passage from Lisbon to England depends, of course, upon the weather ; the voyage at this time of the year is sometimes performed in five days and. sometimes it takes 17 or 18. We recollect that the-official dis patches from Gen. B2EEfiFORD, after the, battle Of Albu7a, did not arrive till 17 days after the action, and Albuera is much nearer to Lisbon than Sala manca is. Upon the whole, we see no reason to doubt the intelligence which has reached this country. The accounts may be, and probably are, exaggerated, but of the main and important fact of the defeat of 11.1.frinmoNT we sec no reason to doubt. No later - intelligence has been received from the North than that which we communicated to: Mir Readers on Saturday, and which was brought by the Gottenbu'igh IVail. Dispatches have been received frOm Idmiral•MARTIN, dated Riga, the 17th ult. but the account which reached:Gotten burgh was of the 20th. Before Admiral MARTIN had sent off his dispatches, the grench tad made some attempts upon the tete-du-pOnt at Dunaburg, in which they were repulsed with the loss-of about 1100 men. 'The accounts which reached Gotten burgh may refer to these attacks, but we should rather suppose that they refer to others of a more recent date. We, are persuaded that some deci sive effort was made as soon as BUONAPARTE joined the army from Wilna. The following is the most recent official intel ligence which has been received from the Russian Army : " Tread-quarters, Janitschy, June 9.7, (July 9.) `-` All the corps of the first army have 'al ready joined, mid retire to-morrow to the for tified camp at Drissa, on the Dwina. Our troops have borne the- difficulties attendant on-marching with theiratienee peculiar to them. The enemy has been disappointed in his, en deavours. to cut off any of the corps which form' the first army, as well as in his attempt to sur round our right,*ing. The principal force of.the enemy is at present directed against o ur left, in order to place themselves betweery the first and second army. Prince BAGRATION has received orders to attack the enemy's corps opposed to him. Move ments have been made in the first army to this effect. " Since the trifling skirmishes at the passage of the Diana, our rear-guard has not had any se rious attack to repel.- On Friday the Princess CHARLOTTE Of WALES dined with the Princess of WALES, at Kensingson• Palace, and in the evening returned to Windsor. Saturday morning the Earlg of LIVERPOOL and BATIWBST had audiences of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton-house. Saturday the PRINCE REGENT dined at Kew with the the Duke of CUMBERLAND, and remained there all night. Sir 4ouw WARREN bad a long conference with the Board of Admiralty on Saturday, and received his final instructions, as Commander of the ships on the American station, Yesterday he left town for Portsmouth, to hoist his ling in the St. Do mingo, and will sail without delay. His com mand is to include all the ships at present on the Windward'and Leeward Islands stations, as also those at Halifax. Several frigates and sloops are ordered to - proceed to the American coast. , , Lord MuloaAvE, we understand, is to he raised to the-dignity of an Earldom. A correspondent informs us that the congrega tion that assembled before the Hustings in Palace Yard, last week, chiefly consisted of two coal hearers, five chininey-sweepeis, and - a numerous tribe of ragged boys and girls, besides a few - of those active members of society, who generally attend public meetings of the same .kind, for the pnrpose of making a transfer of property. The public have heard nothing of the contents of the papers left by • the Count D'ENTRAIGUES, and though it may hence be inferred that there was nothing in them injurious to the interests of this country, yet some positive information on the subject might be properly given; as many re-' ports prejudicial to the memory of. the departed Nobleman have been 'in circulation; and as there is a general and reasonable suspicion against fo reigners among us, who, we,. regret to say, are too •ntinierous, and, what is worse, - receive more encouragement than is consistent with prudence. It is- well-known that. two models for* a new Theatre were submitted to the judgment of the committee who undertook the re-building of that in-Drury-lane; both . of which were designed by sons of Mr. WYATT, to whom this country is so much-indebted for architectural 'irciiks, end a general improvement of the - national taste in . subjects of that nature. -As' Mr. WHITBREAD, laov,-.ever, preferred the model deSigned by Mr:' BirNrAMIN WYATT, the Committee were induced assent: 16 his decision. But a misconcep tion has generally prevailed as to . the reason which chiefly operated against 'the model dear ii= ed by ,111 T- .PIIILIP WYATT, and it h'as been supposed that it was on account of ''the greater expence which would have, attended • iti„s adoption. Now, ive arc positively assured, that this is a mistake, and that, .according to the estimates, a Theatre, built upon Mr. PHILIP WYATTS model,. would have been hiss expensive by two thousand pounds than that preferred by Mr. WHITBREAD. We are not, disposed to enter into an invidious comparison of the respective merits of the two models, both of whiCh display considerable know ledge and ability, as might, of course, be expect ed from the Sons of such an 'Architect as Mr. WYATT, but we can confidently add, that Mr. PHILIP WYATT'i model has received the warm approbation.of some of the most respectable pro fessors and men of taste in this country, for its convenience, elegance, and gr - andeur. It is pro per that this matter should be explained, in Jus tice to an ingenious young artist, that what was owing chiefly to the preference of an individual, sboulduot be imputed to an erroneous conception of expence, or to any . eornparitive want of know ledge Pad skill.

GALLANT NAVAL NCI-11EVMENT, ,_The following is a coma extract from the letter of a young mariner, Penis Crayion, of ", liis IlajestV.s. ship Swallow, off Frejus, June 200), 1812. _ _ '" 'We have 'just come froln fighting one of the post bloody actions that ever was - fought in these seas; but; thanks to the Lord, I have escaped, and I - shall he always thankful to him for it.
