The teeiiit of intelligence "frord oArr Artny in France, which we sterday aurratineed, is t`o the 20 th, previOns to which thiteli l ilfl3een a series of smart action's on the right, preparatory to forc ing the passage or the Allour. The loss of the enemy on these occasions is''eskitnated at 3000 men. It was upon Ike 12th that these operations commenced, under the 'command of Sir RowLANn HILL, and the desultory warfare continued\ al most without intermission during the three fol lowing days. The principal engagement was on the 14th, when the Enemy's pOsts' were driven . ?Cros s the Adour, and on the 15th the Gave de Pall was abandoned. , As no dispatches have arrived, the details of these affairs rest on a number of private letters, "aril of Which varies from the othrs in minute Particular's, though all concur in stating that the htitnediate advance of Lord WELiaNaTox in force ‘',0111(1 be the consequence of the successes already Obtained. The folloWing are. extracted from these .tetatnunicotio.ns " intelligence was brought by Lieutenant l'umuis, -of the 13th Dragoons, who left the 4 rrnY on the 20th, but brought no dispatches 4 ()lti the Field Marshal, who did not mean to 'trite till he had effected his immediate great ob ject of the vassne 4 ' of the Adour, which was cx keted to take place about the 23d. The loss on tt u.r . side was comparatively trifling, but we re gret to state that General PR;NGLE - was wounded, ° I 1 (1 the gallant Captain CLITIII:RoE killed.

'The pro gtessivr movement having been thus successfully b 'ade on the right, we must now look to the coy tespondiug• advance of the left. Lord WELLING TON himself was with that part of the line on tile 2 0th, _the day when the last advises were (Hs . - Patched. The main body of the army would, of 1 , Se, immediately cross the Alour." Another .account states the loss of the Enemy \‘ ' the ti uniers at 700 wen, and conjectures, that ti i ‘ e e lieral movement would be on Toulouse, being no ,suffieient force to resist our a4vß ilee.

A report of tELLieARDR'S having entered Milan ii.firobably oily an anticipation of a certain event. The German Pepers contain an extract from a letter u behalf of the French prisoners of war, addressed by Louts the 18th to the Emperor ALEXANDER., It does honour to the bead and heart of the King, and when contrasted with the apathy with which a STRANGER consigned these Frenchmen to misery in pursuing the phantom of his own inordinate desires, Will not, we hope, be without its proper effect on the French nation.

Wri.- XINSON had been again attacked and defeated with immense loss, and that our victorious troops had possessed themselves of the great Depot of Sackett's Harbour. Such an event ,would decide the fate of Ontario. The intelligence came by way of Bermuda, whence it will be remembered we had the first copy of the President's Speech. It is added, that a bill had poised the I-louse of Representatives, to oblige the Militia to march wherever their services may be required.

Repairing 1 62. shi s, And only eightt•en ship s , now P under slight repairs. p ah ief r docks ece l v i e n a g : In consequence of the great fall off in the building of ships in the purl of London, and the few zepairs going on, thou sands of industrious individuals; connected with these esta blishment*, are now pining in misery and distress from the want of employment. " It is mentioned," says the Chronicle, " that the expedition which was about to sail for Ca nada has been detained by orders from the Admi ralty. It consisted of 4000 marines, the frames of three frigates, and 700 ship carpenters. The conjecture in cousequence of this unexpected sus pension is, either that the marines are to be im mediately employed nearer home, or that the hope is confidently indulged of the restoration of peace with the United States, through the me dium of negociation at Gotteuburg, which would render the defence of Canada no longer neces sary." the Morning Chronicle is just as incorrect in framing his expedition as in thinking it he know nothing of the matter.

The Comedy of -The Wonder, with the influence of Mrs. ,JoanAl4.'s Plutonic, and, we may add, the expected noveltyof YOUNG . B Don Felix, attracted a numerous audience last night at Covent-Garden Theatre. The Public were, as usual, vrltified by the-spirit and variety which marked the per , tormance of Piulante, hut were not so happy in the felix.,..as.YOUNG was prevented by itidisposi tion from appearing in the character. Bills, an nouncing this i:treumstance; and the substitution of Comw.s.V, were placed at all the avenues to the Theatre. As Mr. CONWAY took this character thus suddenly, and as it is by no means in his pro vince, it would be harsh and illiberal to scrutinize hiS performance. It is sufficient to say that he exerted .liinagelf with zeal, and- could hardly be expected- ,to be in such full possessinu of the words. Avery faint opposition attended his en trance, but it soon gave way to more generous feelings, and subsequent applause. By the arrival of the Diadem from Bermuda, after the short voyage of 18 days, accounts have been obtained from Halifax and the United States. Atthe Island nothing of importance bad. trans..' pired ; but about ten days before the sailing of the frigate, an account had been brought of a se vere action in the Gulph, the particulars of which are not known. It' is within probability that ano ther of the French frigates may have been con cerned in this affair. .Upwards of - 500 men belonging to, the Man chester and. Salford Local Militia, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel StLvESTER, together with all the Officers, have volunteered an extent of their services. The exertions that are 'making throngbout the United Kingdom in behalf of the suffering Ger mans, must be truly gratifying to the benevolent ,Gentlemen who form the Committee for manag ing their funds; indeed, the unceasing attention of the Committee to the object could not tail to call loan the sympathies of the British people, who have contributed with a noble spirit of phi lanthropy to alleviate the distresses of our Ger man brethren.
