TOLERATION BILL.

On Lord CASTLEREAGH'S- moving the third
reading of the Toleration Amendment Act :
Mr. W. SMITJI congratulated the House and
the country that a Bill of such a nature had.passed
th:o tgli its various stages. without an atom of op-
.. position. Although it did not go quite so far as
it might with advantage to the country, by re-
pealing every restrictive statute, it nevertheless
afforded to the Dissenters benefits, of the value
of which they were fully sensible.
The CHANCELLOR of the ExCHEO,VER united
with the Honourable Gentleman in his expression
of, pleasure at the reception which this Bill had
experienced in Parliament ; the more . especially
as the large sun's which had 'been voted during
' the. Session for the Established Church, afforded a
sufficient proof that the indulgence granted to the
Dissent.;.trs, aro,se from benevolence of feeling to-
wards them, and not from any indifference to the
interests of the Established Church.
Mr. WfmnitEAD coincided with his Honour-
able Friend, acid the Right Hon. Gentleman, that

the silent progress of this Bill was the best omen
of the speedy extinction of all religious differences;
although the measure did not go so far aslie could
wish, it was,, neyertheless, a great boon to the

the Church 6f England the true interests of
wlLich would,'in his opinion, be consulted by the
establishment of complete religious freedoth.
'The Bill
,was then read a third-time, ' •

Mr. W'. Smiali brought up a clause, giving to
Dissenting Teachers and Preachers the same ex-
'eruptions under, the qualifi6ations of the Bill as
they had enjoyed under the qualifications of the
old Act.

The clause was agreed to, and was added
by way of rider, and the Bill was passed.—Ad-
journed.

LONDON,
TUESDAY, JULY '2l, 1812.

• The following gratifying intelligence was this
morning received from Gibraltar, in a letter dated
20th June : • .

His Majesty's ships Undunted, Blossom, anti
Volontaite, have taiken and destroyed a French
convoy of twenty sail in the *Bay of Marseilles.
A large national schooner which escorted them
and 13 of the Convoy were burnt ; the others
Were cut off, and sent for Port Mahon.

N. B. The convoy were all coasters.

Dispatches were yesterday received from Lord
WELLINGTON, dated Salamanca 25th, and Fuenta
•la Pena, 30th of June, by which it appears, than
the 16th and 19th of June, Marshal
MARsrosn. collected his army on the Douro, exl
eept-BoNNET's division and some small garrisons,
and moved forward from Ricrac Sabuco on the
20th„ Lord IVELLINGTOS formed the allied army,
with the exception of the troops engaged against
the forts in Salamanca., on the heights extending
from Villaries to 3lorlsco. The advanced posts of
cavalry and infantry retired on the army in good
order. and without material loss. The enemy re-
mained in our front during the night of the 2lst,
and established a post on our right flank. Sir
THoMAs GRAHAM was directed to attack them in.
that post on the 22d, with thetroops on the right,
which he did with those of the 7th division, Which
were the reserve of the right, 'Under Major-Gene-
ral HOPE and Major-General D:BERNEWITZ.—The
enemy were immediately driven from the ground
with considerable loss. The troops behaved
remarkably well in this affair, which was in view
of every man of both armies. The enemy re-
tired in the night, and on the following even-
ing posted themselves with their right on the
heights, near Cabeza Velosa, and their left on the
Tormes at'Huerta ; their centre at Aldea Rubia—
' thus endeavouring to Communicate' with the gar-
risons in the forts at Salamanca by the left of the
Tormes. Lord WELLINGTON changed the front
of the army, and placed the right at Santa sll:ar-
tha, and the advanced posts at Aldea Lingua.—
Major7General BROCK'S brigade was sent across
the Tormes to observe the passages of that river.
The enemy crossed the 'Tormes at Huerta on
the morning of the 24th, in considerable numbers,
with every appearan6e of a general movement in
that direction.. The conduct ©f Major-General
BROCK'S dragoons was conspicuously good on
this occasion. When Lord WELLINGTON was
certain that the enemy hat crossed the Tormes,
he ordered General GRAHAM to cross it with the
Ist and 7th divisions. . General L. MARCHANT'S
brigade of cavalry was also sent over, and the re-
mainder of the army concentrated, having its ad-
vanced posts still at Aldea Lingua.
The enemy advanced as --far as Calvarissa de
Abaxo, but observing the d;sposition made for
their reception, retired across the Tormes at
Huerta. The forts at Salamanca were sironger
than was expected. An unsuccessful. attempt Was
,made to carry the convent of St. Vinceute on the
23d, and Major-General BOWES, after 'having
particularly distinguished himself, was unfortu-
nately killed. The loss in Officers and men was
likewise considerable.

By a letter, from' Sir ROWLAND HILL of the 22d,
Lord WELLINGTON learns that DROUET had been
reinforced from Andalusia since the defeat of BAL-,
LASTEROS at Dornos, and had advanced as far as
Almendralejo. BALLAsThRos sustained much.loA,
and is said to have retired towards Gibraltar.

In the North, SANrocunns had invested Astor-
ga. The Guerillas were in unmolested possession
of the country, and the enemy's communication
cut off betw;en their weak and scattered garri-
sons.

By the dispatch of the 30th, it appears that
,the forts of St, Cayetano and 'La Merced were
taken by storm on the 27th. These operations
were effected in the most 'gallant manner, and
with trifling loss, by the detachments of the 6th

division. under the command of CulonelD AVM'S. of

the 36th"regiment,:ancltr tha direction of Major-
" General CLINTON. St. Vincente then capitulated
on the terms otiered by Lord WELLINGTON : the
garrison to march out kith-the :honours of War;
officers to retpin• therr baggage, and soldiers their
knapsacks. GeneralCLlivTo m mentions the con-
duct of the officers and men in" terms of strong
commendation, particularly of Lieutenant Colonel
HINDE of the 32d;, Lieut. Col. DAviEs, •of the
36th; Capt. OwEN, , Gist ; Brigade-Major Ho-
BART, and Ensign NEWTON,- of the' 32d, who
volunteered to lead the advanced party in the.
attack of the 276 ; also Colonel May, who "com-
manded the artillery under Col. FRAMLINGDAM,
the officers and soldiers of
:the Roy-41 and Portu-
guese artillery ; Lieut.-Col. BURGOYNE, Lieut.
REID, and the officers of engineers ; and. Major
TuomrsoN, of the 74th, acting as engineer. The
enemy withdrew the garrison from Alba de,
Tormes, on hearing of the fall of the forts at Sa-
lamanca.

The operations against these forts were carried
on in sight of IthamoNT's army, which remained

in its.pocition, with the right at Cabesa Velosa,
and the left at jitierta, till the night of the 27th,
when they broke up, and retired, in three co-
lumns, towards the Douro one towardS Toro,
the others'on Tordesillas. The allied army were,
on the 30th, encamped on the'•Guarena.
The entniy -in .Etremadura continued in the
same position. • . .

Lo:d WELLINGTON had not heard that SANTO-
CILDES had commenced his attack on Astorga.
General CABIERA is at 13enevente, and there are
Spanish troops iu Leon.
