Sta—The enemy having long been without any fivourable
opportunity of sending from the Italian ports supplies to Corfu,

DISPATCHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.

The following dispatches, dated the 24th ult.
:lave been received from Lord WI.I.LINGTON. We

rejoice to find that the gre,ater part of our Officers

and men who were missing have escaped from the
enemy during his retreat, and joined their respective
corps. SOULT had succeeded in reaching Llrena,
but not without leaving many prisoners in the•

fl

hands of the divisions of cavalry sent in his pursuit.
It was also ascertained that MASSENA, Jtmcrr, and
LOISON, had returned to Paris, either to solicit rein.
forcements, or to justify their conduct. MARMONT
and REGNIER remained at the head of the army, in
the vicinity of Ciudad Rodrigo.
Besides the reinforcements from the Agueda,
which have reached Lord WELLINGTON at Elvas, a
corps of cavalry from England landed on the 23d
ult. and proceeded immediately to join him ; so that
his army is now superior to that of the enemy, as
well in number as in steady bravery and spirit.

My Loan—Since I addressed you on the 22d instant, I have
received reports that Marshal Soult had retired to Llrena ; and
the 3d and 7th divisions having arrived at Campo Mayor, I hate
given directions that Badajos may be closely invested'on the
right of the Guadiana to-morrow, and I propose forthwith to
recommence tli€ operations Of the siege.—l lealit froni Castile.

RUMOURED BATTLE

•Tlmrsday. busy rumour was actively' occu-
pied in the circulation of a report " on the au-
ot an American Captain," that a battle
had taken place near Badajoz; and yesterday it
was very generally circulated that further advices
had been received from Lord WatirruroNi com-
muncating the intelligence that another engagement
had taken place between the forces under • SOVLT
and those under Marshal BERESFOitD.—Such was
the rumour, but as it mentions neither time nor
place, nor the authority on which it was founded, we
place no reliance on it.
His Majesty's ship Audacious, with a fleet of
transports, sailed from Lisbon on the 29th ult.;
and by her a few letters of the 28th have been- for-
warded. They, however, contain no other intelli-
gence than that which is already before the Public.

.A Mail arrived on Wednesday— from Cadiz, and
brought letters and papers to the 19th ult. They
abound with the accounts of the successes of the
Guerrillas in the interior' of the country, but con-
tain no intelligence of any particular event of great
magnitude. Preparations are making for the elec-
tion of two thirds of the Cortes, to replace one-
third of the present Members, who retire on the
2•l•th September ; and another third on the Ist of
January next. Strong expectations were entertained
of raising the siege of Cadiz, which, we hope, will
soon be realized. The Regency Gazette of •the 16th
ult. contains a report of the Commander in Chief
of the army in•Cataloniai in which he gives an ac-
