eArTuni: OF VALLADOLID.

Every account f,om the Peninsula confirms the immensity
of the loss occa,ioned to the French, by the battle of the
22d ult. MAT:MONT had reached Burgos in a litter, but a
dispatch from Sir now Ain) Dot:Gt.As, transmitted by Sir
Home POP II AM, and which appears in Tuesday's Gazette,
contains the satisfactory intelligence, that the allies were still
closely pursuing the enemy.—That they 11.1 d entered Valla-
dolid, where they found 4,000 French, sick and wounded,
besides a great quantity of stores and baggage. This commu-
nication is dated the 2d instant, from Medina del Camro.
Lord W ELLINGTON had, at that time, established his head-
quarters at Cuellar, between MAI:MONT and JOSEPH, which
rendered their junction impossible. The loss already sus-
tained by the enemy during the engagement and pursuit, to
the Ist instant, may be safely estimated at :Motto. The kss
of the allies amounted to 60-1. killed, 4,2270 wounded, and
456 prisoners. We are happy to hear that the recovery of
the greater part of the wounded is going on rapidly.

Important dispatches may shortly be expected from Lord
Wet. LINGTON, as we hear, from Falmouth, that his Ma•
jesty's ship Hotspur had passed by for Portsmouth front
Lisbon with dispatches.
On Lord Clinton's arrival at the Office of Earl Bathurst
with dispatches, an immense crowd immediately collected,
to greet his arrival. The drivers and horses of his Lord-
ship's chaise were decorated with laurels. The eagles and
flags taken in the battle were displayed nut of the windows
of the chaise. One of the eagles is in a very bloody state.
The Park and Tower guns were fired on the occasion.
Lord Wellington was in the house in which Marmont un-
derwent the amputation of his arm, one hour after the opera-
t ion.—Nlarmont is a little ugly man, about 45. brought up in
the old school, very honourable and humane, and entertaining
a very high opinion of the English. lie married about ten
years ago, the only daughter of Perigaux, the famous banker,
who was educated in England.
Among the spoils which fell into the hands of our troops
at the battle of Salamanca, was a letter from Joseph Buona-
parte to Champagny at Paris, in which be gives a deplorable
picture of his unhappy situation, disclaims being in a clandes-
tine correspondence with his brother Lucien (as Napoleon
had insinuated), and alludes to the death of Louis Buona-
parte, late King of Holland, whose demise was sometime ago
reported in this country, but contradicted.
General Le Marchant, unfortunately killed in the battle of
Salamanca, was founder of the Royal Military College at
Wycombe. and Governor of it until he went, about a twelve-
month ago, to Portugal. His wife died in child-bed a few
weeks after he left this country, and they have left nine
orphans, with very little property. His eldest son, about 17,
was aid-de-camp when he was killed. He was universally
allowed to have been an excellent Officer, having given up
all his time and thoughts to the pursuit of his profession.—
Lord Wellington was twice hit by spent balls in the battle
of Salamanca.
When Lord Clinton arrived at Exeter, which was about
ten o'clock on Saturday morning, it is incredible how the
anxious inhabitants flocked to the Royal Hotel.. His Lord-
