leagues in two days, and on the 31st reached Car-

deep and rapid river at this season ; 40 French
cavalry were taken crossing.
On the Ist June, Lord WELLINGTON entered
imora, and at 4 F. M. on the 2nd Toro, where
his head-quarters were to remain till the 3d, and
then to advance upon Valladolid, where the ene-

divisions were moving on Madrid and Toledo, in

SALAmAt.c.%,.-MAY 27.—We• left Martillo yes-
terday, and on our arrival upon the heights above
this place, we tell in with the French videttys,
who retired skirmishing, and disputing every yard.
The enemy-Was drawn up behind the town; Waiting
the return of their cavalry , which was purposely de-
layec:. In the mean time, the light division kept
coining up on the left, the Conde D'A7,IAR NT as
on the centre, and General Iltu, 00 the right ;
they keptin the ravines to avoid being; seen. The
first moved on the ford of HI C .nto, the second on
Salamanca, the third on the ford. of St. Martha.
When it Was no longer' possible to hide the heads
of our columns, the enemy found be had no time
to lose; and off he ;vent with the utmost celerity.
Upon this we proceeded at full gallop to the ford
at St. Martha ; on our arrival there we met
BEAN'S troop of horse artillery and PANE'S • ca-
'valry, and immediately pursued : in about half an
hour we came up with and charged him, killed
130, and took 150 ['tisane's, who marched in here
last night ; the miinber• of wounded left in the
colleges is considerable. The (,ieneral's coach,
full of baggage, fell into our hands. •
The enemy left this with about 3500 infantry
and 600 cavalry. Our loss is inconceivably small,
considering that we receivedseveral vollies, being
only two men, and five horses wounded.

" The troops 'which fEnlned the left of the

march upon the right of the Douro, I, put in mo-
tion the following divisions or infantry of the al-
lied Anglo-Portuguese Army. The 2d, the light
division, and that under the command of the
Conde d'AmArtromm, General MortELLA's Spanish
division, as also the cavalry corps, under Gone-

The..enemy evacuated Lidearnki yesterday af-

towards Salamanca, and I expect the Allies will
be to-morrow upon, the Tormes.
" The enemy still rethained in Madrid on the

that he had made any alteration in his positions,
with the exception that a part of the army of the

SANTIAGO, Jr.INE 4.--All the troops have gone
out from Ciudad Rodrigo.. On the. 2fith May,
they were preparing to enter Salamanca (and, in
fact, it is asserted that they did enter on the 26th).
General HILL was to fall on Madrugal and Ale-
dina almost at the .Same time.; Gen. Pp.tirtp. was.
with the cavalry in Villar de CiervaS, and the let-
ters from Alcanices suppose that some English
troops bud au engagement at Zamora, under the
command of Gen..Ga %vim will collect there
a considerable army, which some make to amount
to 40,000 men.

The same accounts add, that all the troops have
left Senabria, except one battalion which will
im-
ntediutely take the same road.. Their direction
appears to be to the Ilatteza, to join the army
under General Gtitort, who on the 29th ult. made
a general movement, in order promptly to take a
position on the bank of the Orbigo, where the
advanced guards have already.arrived.
In Leon are the Generals SALAZAR and:Kits:so,
with 800 infantry and 700 cavalry.
Mayorgo, Castro Gonzalo, and Nraldiras are
the enemy, and ‘1 ith respectable forces to.obServe
our troops. All appearances and advice she‘y,
that the movement of the latter is rapid, uniform,
and well combined. Lord IVELLIN.GroN was on.
the 24th at St. i\lundz, and General CASTA:VOS an
the 29th at Martel del Rio.,

The reports that have-been circulated, :that the'
art Mes have already engaged, and that our troops
have possessed' themselVes 'of Salamanca and Za-
mora, are not improbahle. The horrors. of Castro
Urdeales arc confirmed.

TUESDAY, JUNB 15, 1813.

Lisbon and Corunna Papers, to the Bth, have
been received this morning, and inform ti of the
continued progressive movetwaits of the Allied
forces under Lord WELLINGTON.. After taking
forty French cavalry in crossing the Esla, his
Lordship advanced to Zamora, which place► he en-
tered on the Ist : on the evening of the 2d he esta-
blished his head-quarters at Toro ; and an the
following day would direct his march upon Yana.

bet*Cen tVitieb city and BEr ;as it Would
seem that the enemy are concentrating their Main
strength. There were 17,000 of the French at
Toro, who thired (as they had thine On the pre-
ceding day from. Zamora) on the approaCh of the
Allies. Sir T. GamiANl had united himself wil-1
our illustrious Comuninder,. between Salamanca
and the Douro; and General. liiij, as Well as se-
veral divisions of Spanish and Portuguese .tronps,
were directing their course to Toro: In truth,
Spain has never yet presented the appearance of
so many complicated, general, and important
movements, all tending to one object, and under
the coutroul of One intelligence. Spanish-armies
are marching on Madrid and- Toledo, and the
whole Peninsula is in activity,--the forces of every
description applying to the same purpose-L-a glo,
mots purpose, which we trust Will be speedily ac-
complished in the annihilation of the invasive
oppressors who have 8o long deluged this un-
happy country with the blood of its children. The
particulars of the brilliant affair •at Salamanca,
and the account of the partizan LONGAIS exploit
near Miranda, will be perused with interest.
The French Were•at Madrid on the Itith.: It is
sa'd, and we believe truly, that Lord WELL:I44n-
TON, by the rapidity of his motions in transfer-
ring the war to the north of the.llonro,. has com-
pletely deceived and disconcerted the calculations
of the enemy.

By Americau Papers to the lath nit. receivtd
this day, we are enabled, to lay before the public
the following particulars relative to the capture
of Fort York by the American army under General
DEARBORN, and a squadron commanded by Com-
modore CHAUNCEY.

Haw ?As, MAY I.l.—We hare been favoured with Boston
Papers, just received by the; illartha cartel, tier. days from
thence, to the Sthinst. and much do wr lament the intelli-
gence contained in the following brief extract

"On Tuesday, April 2f, at suu-rite, Commodore eIIAUN-

them by water.- . At two P.M. they carried the works, taking

where their military were enabled. to receive the

We rejoice to observe, that the regular portion of
the brave defenders of Fitt made good
• their retreat.

The same Papers convey to us the more pleas-
ing reports contained in clic following paragraph,
which we sincerely, trust will turn Out to be well
founden

" It is said that the American frigate Esse:elm been taken
and tied nth., Antigua—the papers say by o 7a-gun.sl,ip.
Surge of .the huatl of the squadron rn the Chesapebilie, landed
on the 3d inst.' at a. small town called Mere de Grace; from
which the Americans were soon compelled to retire, and a
part of the town was destroyed."

The AmeriCan navy being again on the alert (as
appears from our Naval News), we may indulge in
the hope, that with all the advantages they possess
from an immense tract of coast, they will not be
able much longer to elude the vigilance, oz escape
front the valour, of our British tars.

In our preceding columni will be found- Ex-
tracts from the French Papers to the loth, which
