The following are extracts from private letters,
giving a melancholy account-of the vengeance in-
flicted by the- French upon the unfortunate inha-
bitants of Itamburgh

SEQUEL TO TILE GLORIOUS NEWS.

Good news scidom comes single, sqystfic pro•

erb trust it will be fulfilled to the letter.

The intelligence we have this day, howevcr,to lay
before the Public flocs not come within the scope
the,adage, being only a continuation (A..the
cheering matter it was yesterdily our happiness to
c-irnamnicate. Cornnna Papers to the 16th
of June, which we have received this
,morning,

we learn, that"on the 2Sth of May, the enemy,
Cn- the second, and we trust the last, time-evacu-
ated the capital of Spain, which was entered on

the 3d .of the ensuing month by the victorious
Aill-s, From the gratifying arconnt given in
these Journals of the numbers of prisoners taken
trout the French at the commencement of their

retreat, we may form idea of the magnitu►!e

t their losses in this way when that retreat be-
came a flight, and their precipitancy was so great
as to cause the destruction of those employed to
blow up the works they were forced to abandon.
The following are extracts

TORO, JUNE 3.—On the 28th ult. Madrid'

-tva,, free. On the 3d inst. the Lord entered Toro
at eleven in the morning, from Whence the French
retired
,at seven. A league distant, at a place
called Morales, the horse took •237 ca-
valry, and 3 officers, prisoners.

".In the nwrning of the came day, Don
Aosr brought in 80 more, taken four leagues from
hence, so that the prkoners made from the time
,we entered Salamanca, up to this day, amount to
more than 1001), in addition to 400 taken in an af-

fair 'at Torrelobolon, (three leo,gues from this
place). .Eight thousand troops have passed the

river.

".They write4rom that an tlic 2d

all his force.

`• LIENEVCNTE, JUNE 6.—The Lord is already
in. Benevento, and other troops in Palencia. We
ate as,ared that BOYER with hiN horse has been
taken, ,between Rioscis and Palencia.
-i,:ouvrlNA, JUNE 12.•—0 h the 23th tAlay, the
French evacuateclAladrid, and on the 3rl inst. our
troops entered that capital.

The exultation and triumphant feelings which
pervade every truly British heart, in consequence
of the glorious aspect of affairs on the Peninsula,
and the prospect that nears upon us of a speedy
and happy termination of the contest, which has
on our parts been so nobly sustained for the de-

liverunee of that country, leaves us little to
do but to point to the circumstances which
afford the better grounds for indulging in
these joyous sensations.—Perhaps by the way

we, may take a glance at the gloomy or
opposition side of the picture, not to dump the
hopes or diminish• the gratification of the People
of England, but to Heighten their pleasure by the
accession of contrast, and to paint these Birds of
i i omen in their just colours. To the facts stated
'ye terday we have nothing to subjoin, nor can
we, though the theme be
,large, tempting, and se-
ductive, venture to trespass on the patience of our

Readers by any addition to that burst and flow of re-
joicing whic,ll the receipt of the news imparted to our

Tymarks on this occasion. But we may he allowed to

that the advantage of receiving military and other
suppliesfroir the proximate sbore;of
ofacross the country from :Lisbon or Corunna, must
afford an incalculable advantage to onr arms, and
give a new stimulus to the carrying on of brilliant
and vigorous offensive operations. , •_

Under these circumstances, we see ,no reason
to abate in the sanguine view we tools; of
the state of the war in THE .SUN of yester-
day. —;.5.0, however, think not our Talents
Opposition and their. Organ, infected; as they al-
ways 'are when British successes rush upon their
I sense, with dull, cold, opathetical calculatiOns,—
. with a spirit oftlonbt and mistrust,--7a desire to Put
nearest their eye the broad end of, the Telescope,
that they may have the pleasure of contemplating
th--...5e glorious events in little, and thus, as it were,
instead' of engaging in, removing themselves from
the bustle of ' the scene, and, in the quiet of
distant repose, indulging ill -the calmnes of un-
biassed consideration. The result of this philo-
'phical inqn!ry will be found in the folloWing pa-
ragraph :
" Were the retreat of fire I'rench troop 4 alluded to in the •
•
above Bulletin, the consequence of actual defeat, we, sloie•:d
bp most happy to join in th, exultaiion of the Miniiterial
P.cpers of last night. As it is, however, we see in it.not.W.l3:
bat the renewal policy of 13uoN.trAnrr to prolitat .the
contest in. Spain anti." a more favoaraLlr opportunity occurs
of carrying it on wit's effect, (Waiting" fur that to-morrow
Ike .Will never see !") The French army, concentrated be-
hind the Ebro, and supported by the strong fortresses ,of
Nunn:lune had Figueras, possesses there the weans of slain
taint, a defensive positio-n until btoNmwirr.,
the war in the North, is enabled to send asforce to the rettin-
suia, string enoagh to compel Lord %ti*ELLINGiON agaZi: to
retreat, -and once store to enemy the uadispa?,ll
occupancy el Jae greater pert of Spain.

Does arty body remember the retreat. of the
Russians ? Do they remember the continents of
this audacious Journal upcin that subject ?
Wete we then told of retiring, in ordur. to pro-
tract the contest till .a more favourable opp(Jtu-
nity of carrying it on with effect? Were we
thca told of -concentrating round the smoking
altars of Moscow to maintain a defensive
.position till an augmentation of force could
accrue ? Were we then told of the 14.7rsiling•
--eruatariotTt:-s tieing compelled to retreat, and
once more leave his enemy the undisputed oc-
cupancy of the country ? No such things ! The
advance was a victorious conquest—the retreat
was a disastrous flight. The advance was the irri-
sistible triumph of a bero—the retreat wits the irre•
mediabledisasterof a ranquished, dispirited, ruin-
ed foe ! Shame iipoh it, that such writers should
dare to pretend to patriotism; or to any virtue
becoming in a Briton !

But to proceed, without waiting censure on so
worthless a subject—lt is said,

" The War in the reninsUla thus becomes a mere contest.
of expense, in which that party must ultilaately be tl:e victor
whose supplies can holdout the longest

Is it so ? " HoW arc the mighty fallen !" No
longer the forward march to drive. the. Leopards

into Spain, whenever the Tyrant pleaSed,.a force
so overwhelming as to leave no chance of success ! !
