FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1812.

As_the dispatches of Lord WELLINGTON, re-
specting his late glorious and decisive victory,
there, in all probability, sent round by Lisbon,.
two or three days, or more, may elapse before
they reach this country. ' Of the fact we are
now in possession ; but we feel the 'most anxious
wish to be in possession also of the details of a vic-
tory which, we 'trust, will be .decisive of the fate
of the Peninsula.

The following Official Bulletin hating only ap-
peared in a part of our impression yesterday, we

insert it again to-day.

TIIE FOLLOWING RELAES TO OPERATIONS PRE-

VIOUS TO THE DAY OF THE GREAT VICTORY.
Supplement to the Gazette of the Principality
of Asturias, 25tb July, 1812
Marshal Don' Pedro de la Barcena communi-
cated to the Superior Junta of this Principality,
dated the 22d of July, from the Siege of Astorga,
the intelligence contained in the following Dis-
patch, end we hasten to communicate it to the
public for its satisfaction :--
" SIR,--The Officer charged with the observa-
tion
of the enemy's movements, reports as fol-
loNVs, in a letter dated the 20th inst. The events
which have taken place in the army of Marmont

are as follows
" Don Charles Espana, with Thin Julian, beat
the enemy severely at Castillo Vadrillo : his ca-
valry covered itself with glory. The number of
killed, it is said, is not less than 2700. The
French were obliged to retreat to the heights of
Villa Puente. Our troops were yesterday at
Canizal.

" The Allies attacked at the same time on other
points. The number of prisoners amounts to
4 or 5000, who yesterday came into Salaman-
ca! amongst them is General Carrier, severely
wounded.

" A great part of the army took the road to
Medina, pursued by the Allies, and to-day again
we have heard much firing.

"In that quarter, it is stated, was King JO-
seph, with some troops, whiehhe brought from
Madrid.

" The greater part of the Waggon Train, which
the fiat day reached from Tordesilias to Medina,
fell into the hands of the English. In conse-
quence, Lord Wellington ordered the inhabitants
of the district of Toro to come and examine the
effects, and receive what might respectively be-
long to them ; several in fact have r e ;vexed what
they conceived as lost.
The army of Lord Wellington has been rein-
forced with 12,000 men. •
The adherents of the French in Valladolid
have been obliged to take up arms. The French
cavalry is destroyed. I shall write to you to-mor-
,
row in detail.--1 communicate this to your Ex-
cel ency for your satisfaction, hoping that you
will be pleased, to publish such important intelli-
gence—as soon as I receive that which I. am pro-
mised,' I shall send it also to your, Excellency.—
God preserve you, &e.

The President and Members of the Sapreme J::nta of Asturias

We had no opportunity of-tal:int; more than a
*** e r brief notice --yesterday of the Meeting'held
the day before in Palate Yard, on the gUbject 61
a Parliamentary Reform ; .but some •matters oc-
rred at' that Meeting which -seem to demand a

more. serious attention. Ani.ofig otT:n. topics
treated by Major :CARTWRIGIIT, he stated that
new Civb 'had been instituted, consisting • of a
considerable number of persons possessed 'of pro-:
perty similar to that which entitles a• Member to
sit 'in Parliament, and the Major, after bestowing'
high eulogiunis on this Club, signified that the,
people might look forward with great hope to its
proceedings, and expect from. it the same*" glo-
rious , results " Which had,been produced to our
ancestors by the Barons assembled on the' field
of Runnymede. It was no ‘l«mbt difficult for the
Reporters of the Major's , speech,, heavy and ob-
scure as his oratory generally proves; ,to extract
any clear 'aria definite meaning, particularly in a'
• 'part where he might be purposely cautious and.
ambiguous ; but as tin supposed, if not the de-
. elared, -purpose, of the new Club, is to effect.a
Parliamentary Reform, and the Members ire to
possess 4 qualification -Similar to ',that which
