We hare this morning received Corunna Papers to the 25th ult. from *liich we have made the following hriportant extracts ST.VINCENT DE LABARaumt,Jur.i . NET has been completely routed in Tordesillas ; he lost 3000 min, the remainder of his army Was completely dispersed. CORUNNA,• JULY 19.—Lord AVELLIN'GTON will, no doubt, have already entered Valladolid ; he is expected in Burgos, Lagrano, and Madrid ; at least the situation of the brilliant English army leads us to expect this. Eighteen hundred cavalry, and 5000 infantry, were in Castrornan, 3 leagues rest). of Valladolid, with the order Of march, in the direction of ttuenas. 'the siege , of Astorga is reclined to a strict . blockade Our troops have taken, and will take, the road of Zamora and Toro ; others by Carrion and Valderas, to rein force those who have passed through those places. The 7th Army has extended itself near to Vit toria, to . observe CARIFILLI, and support MINA, after having persecuted BONNET, 1010 it appears entered Valladolid, on the 6th, from whence he retired With . 111AamoNT, on 7th,. leaving 4000 sick. A report has been received from Corunna, by the Speculator, of an action having taken place between the Allied forces and the French under INIARmosr ; but letters from Benevente, of the 22d, from Sir HowAßt. DOUGLAS make no mention of such an event, 'and merely state the successful progress of the siege of Astorga. • Eight thousand Spaniards were marching to join Lord WELLINGTON. A Cadiz Mail arrived yesterday. We have made some Extracts from the Spanish Papers, but the accounts from the South 9f Spain are by no means so interesting at present,as those from the North. The Spaniatds, we rejoice to see, are acting with increased vigour, and every thing seems to pro mise a glorious termination of the present cam aiga. The Sixth Bulletin of the French Army has been received, and, we are happy to say, contains as little information as any of the former ones.— Our Readers will be gratified to perceive that it is dated Warta, where the French head-quarters have been for above afortnight BUONAFARTE assigns no reason {Or this extraordinary delay on the con t7ary, if we are to believe his assertions, the different divisions of the Russian Army are Wa‘idering about, without any apparently fixed object. What then can have ithpeded his progress ? His success depended, in a great mea sure, upon the rapidity of his movements, and for a time they certainly were rapid. We are inclined to think that he must bave,met with some Serious disaster previous to the 6th of Jul;_,' on which,day the Fifth Bulletinris dated, containing the mys terious account of the loss of several thousand horses .by the storm. We are most impatient for the Russian details of the operations that have hitherto taken place, because we are convinced ' that they will chew that IBUONAPARTE has devi, ated even 'farther than usual from the truth. A portion of Bulletin is taken up with an ac e , oat of the joy manifested by the People of Po . land, in conseOcence of their deliverance. This is a most cruel insult to a people whom he has re duced to the extremity of wretchAness. What ever resentment the inhabitants of Polaitd Map" feel against those Powers originally concerned iii the initp*ons partition of that unhappy coin:- try, they cannot but feel still greater detestation against a man who has wantonly placed them in a state of starvation, and who they know, not withstanding his professions of regard for their independence, would, withoutlesitation, consign every one of them to the- most abject slavery the moment it suited his convenience, The reports which reached town on Saturday from Holland, of the French under - MAcnoNALD having been defeated, have not been confirmed by the Anholt Mails ; at least, accounts from Riga tl the 14th, do not speak of any battle having tiken place. We - do not consider, however, the silence'of the letters from Riga, of the 14th, as a complete proof that there is no foundation what ever for the reports frog' Holland.

General Count Motabrun then brought up his fire batteries of light artillery, whiCh duriugtievem d hours carried destruction. into the ranks of the enemy. The loss of the Russians has been consitlerable. General Count 'Sehastiani arrived on the same' day at whence the Emperor of' Russia bad departed on the preceding evening. • Oar advanced guard is,upon the Dwina. General ,Count Nansouty was,. oii .the ‘sth of - July, at Paitavoni.

General Nansouty took 130 Russian mounted hussars and dragoons prisoners'. On the 3d of July the communication was opened 'between Grodno and,Wilna, by Lida. The Hetman Platoff, with 6000 Cossacks, when driven out of Grodno, moved towards Lida, and found there the French posts. He descended to Ivie on the sth. • Gene'ral Count Grouchy occupied Witchnew, Traboni, and Sonbotnicki. General Baroti Pajol was at Perchia ; General Baron.,Borde Soult was at Blakchtoni : Marshal the Prince "of Eckmuhl was in advance of 13obrowitski, pushing heads of columns in every direction. Platoff retreated precipitately on the 6th, to Nikolaci.v. • ' Prince Ba ;ration baying set out in the begin ning of July from Wolkowisk on his route for Wilna, was intercepted in his march. He turned back with a view to reach Minsk : anticipated there by the Price of Eckmuhl, he altered his di rection, gave up his intention of proceeding to wards the Dwina, and moved towards the Be risthenes, by Bobruisk, across the marshes of Be , resina. Marshal the Prince of Eckmuhl entered MinSk on, the Bth. He : found there considerable maga= tines of flour, hay, clothing, &e. Bagration had arrived at Novoi-Sworglew : perceiving that he was anticipated, he sent orders to burn the maga zines ; but the Prince of Eckmuhl did not give time for effecting these orders. The King of Westphalia Was on the 9th at No wogrodOk, General Regnier at Konina : maga zines, baggage-waggons, quantities of medicines, and straggling parties, fall into our hands every instant.' The Russian divisions are straying in this country without any previously arranged route, pursued on every side, losing their bag; ;age; hu n- ing their magazines, destroying theirartillery, and . leaving their places without defence; ' General Baron Colbert took at Vileika, a Maga zine of 300 quintals of flour., a hundred thousand' rations of bread, &c, He found also at Vilei ka a Chest containing 200,000 francs, in copper money. ill these advantages have scarcely cost: the French army . a man. Since the opening of the campaign there have been about thirty killed in all the corp, about 100 wounded, and•ten prisoners, whil'A we have ali•eady taken from '2OOO to 2500 Russians prisoners. The Frince of Schwartzenbnrg pasSed the Bug. at Droghitschin, pursued the enemy in, different directions, and made himself master of many bag gage carts. The Prince of Schwartzenber, praises the reception he has met with from the inhabi tants, and the, patriotism which animates these .countries. Thus ten days after opening the•campaign, our advanced posts are upon the Dwina. Almost the whole of Lithuania, containing four millions of inhabitants, has been conquered. The pperations of the war commenced at the passage of the Vis tula. The projects of the Emperor were from that time plainly unfolded, and he had no time to lose in carrying them into execution. Thus, the ar my has been making forced marches from the pe-' riOcl of passing that river, in order to advance, by 'means of manceuvres, upon the Dwina ; for the distance between the Vistula. and the Dwina is greater tly4ri that between the Dwina.and Mosiere or Petersburgh. The Russians appear to be concentrating them selves upon Dunabt:rg : they give out that it is their intention to wait for us; and to give us bat- tle before we enter their ancient provinces, after having abandoned Poland without a contest, as if they were constrained by justice, and had • wished. to restore a country badly acquired;. inas much as it•had not been gained by treaties, or by the, right of conquest. The heat' continues to be very violent. The people of Poland are in motion on all sides. Tbe White Eagle is hoisted everywhere. priests, nobleS i peasants, women, all'eall - for the indepen dence of their nation. The peasants are ex tremely jealous of the happiness of the peasants of the Graivl Duchy; who are free; for, what ever may hesaid to' the contrary, liberty is con sidered by the Lithuanians as the greatest bles s- ing. The peasants expre-s themselves With a vi vacity of elocution, which would not seem to be- long to, the climates of the North ; and all em brace with transport, the 'hope. that the result of the struggle will be the re-establishment of their liberty. The peasants of the Grand Duchy have g . t - .y their lito) ty. he pe3;;al' Grand Duchy have gained by their that tl-je..y e richer; but that the propi.;eors are obliged to be moderate, j;; -3t, and humane ; cantt." otheryyi , e the peasants would quit their huids in order to seek better proprietors. 1-1 0 ' 5 . the noble loses nothing ; he is only obliged to k just, and the peasant gains much. It must an agreeable gratification for the heart of the Ern' paror, to witness, in crossing 4 the Grand Dacby , th 6 transports. of joy and gratitude which the blessing - ofliberty, granted to fottr 'millions 3f pen, has excited. . ~l~t Six regiments - of infantry Are ,just ordered to be raised by a new levy in Lithuania, and four regiments of cavalry have been offered by the nobility.
