KIN (26.

on' iencral:ed by Lord WELLINGTON, he had the morti-
fication to see his garrisons at Salamanca fall, without daring
icy hAtard a blow for their relief. The enemy afterwards
rowated ; one part of their army taking the road to Madrid,
thc other to Valladolid. In the latter direction they were
sited by the allied army, who at the date of the last dis-
;,!ciws, were encamped upon the Guarena. Their force is
i:ttilwalcd at 60,000 men; that of MAUMONT at 35,000.
The first eiTect of the advance of Lord WELLINGTON
must be the interruption of that line of communication
which the enemy has hitherto preserved, important
ch,,ng9 must result fi om this, and harassed by the expedi-
tion lec,ltly fitted out against them, and the increasing
boldness of the Guerilla parties, we arc not without hopes of
s(!eing, the maniuding cohorts of BuoNAPAItTE shortly com-
pered to retreat beyond the Ebro.

Wednesday, another Mail arrived from Cadiz, with let-
tcr3 and Papers to the 6th instant. The enemy continued 1.
to bombard the city at intervals, but with very inconsidera-
ble elect. The force destined for Catalonia is estimated, in
the ('adiz Papers, at 18,000 men. The final evacuation of
the Asturias, by the troops under BoNNT, is confirmed. It
was understood at Cadiz, that the movements of SOULT
were retrograde, and that he had evacuated nearly the
whole of Lower Estremadura.

main, provided their leave be unlimited, and they arc not
personally recalled. Failing to obey this mandato, they
ivill imbject themselves to the sequestration of their property,
and found in arms against Prussia, they are to be put to I
death.

which is common to us and to our Allies. We fight for
them and for ourselves. in this new contest, in which we

am convinced that in this war you will do every thing to
meta the good will of your Sovereign, and to sustain the
ancient glory of the Austrian troops."

TO THE EDITOR.
SlR—The Latin Cam Dian Epigram which appeared in
your valuable paper of the sth inst. said by the author to be
but one week oti, seems evidently borrowed from an origi-
nal epigram on the same subject that has been more than
seven years in manuscript circulation. and composed 14
PETER PINnAR, which, from your well known impartiality.
I presume will find a place in your' weekly repository.

Ttt c ht sc.—The last two quarterly reports of the Queen's
Council, on the state of his Majesty's health, have been
laid before Parliament. They affirm that his Majesty's
bodily health is as good as at the period of any of their former
reports, and his mental health as much disordered. On the
prospect of recovery, the first report, dated Apiil 4, states
that event to be extremely improbable, and though they do
not expect it, they yet do not despair. The second report.
dated July 4, declares their hopes to have been further
diminished, but that notwithstanding they still do not give
way to absolute despair.
