MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1812.

Dispatches were this morning received from the
Marquis of WELLINGTON, dated Madrid,.the 20th
byt, their contents have• not transpired.

We this morning received Lisbon Papers to the
30th ult. from which we have extracted some im-
portant and gratifying intelligence. The evacua-
tion of Cadiz lifts been followed by that of Seville,
where the French left very considerable magazines •
Before his departure, SOULT published a.Procla-
mation, in which he informed the inhabitants that
he should, on some, future occasion, come, back,
and claim the magazines which he left behind
him. The French took the direction of Cordova.

This morning a Gottcnburgh Mail arrived. The
iatelligence which it brings from the Armies in
F.,issia is not of se; late a date as that contained
in the French Bulletin; it is however interesting,
as it serves in many instances to.correct the ex-
aggeration of the French accounts.
Lord CATHCART has had an audience of the
Emperor ALEXANDER, by whom he was-received
in the most gracious rnanne'r.

We this morning received the Quebec Mercury of
the 29th July. It contains an Address from seve-
ral ." Members of the Iledse' of Representatives
of the Congress of the United States to their
Constituents, on the subject of the war with
Great Britain," which we shall lay before our

_readers to-morrow.

This paper contains no news, but we have ex-
tracted the following article to thew that the
Americans are already beginning to imitate their
Ir►P•;dg, the French, in the accuracy of their narra-
ti

't Intelligence has just been received that the
United States brig of war Oneida, of 18 guns, has
captured, after a desperate action of four hours,
the British ship of war Royal George, 0f:22 guns;
on Lake Ontario, and- has sent her into Socket's
Harbour."—New York Morning Star, July 16. '
Upon this article, the Quebec Mercury makes
the following observations : '

" The above our Readers will perceive to bel\T'evr
York currency, than which nothing can be More
spurious. From unquestionable authority we
Pointedly and flatly contradict the paragraph, by
assuring our Readers, that a letter his been re-
ceived at a respectable quarter in Quebec, from
Upper Canada, dated the 21st instant, four days
subsequent to the date of the Nev ti York fabrica-
tion. The =letter says that the Royal George had
sailed in search of the One%da, and that the latter
had, in ,consequence, taken shelter in Sachet har-
bour, where she landed her guns and men, and
formed a battery on- shore, with her, guns, for
her defence."

The Cork Paper of the 9th, contaias thefol-

lowing article :
The Virago gun-brig arrived in the Harbour this
morning, from a cruize; she fell in yesterday with
a brig, 21 days from New York, boku,d up Chan-
nel, and which proved to be a cartel With
English gentlemen on board. Tile brig stated,
that the rescinding of the Orde-s in Council had
been received in America prior to her depaiture,
and was not considered by any means satisfactory.

We this morning received the -following letter
from Dover, and we have no doubt that the esti-
mate of the French loss ii the battles before Smo-
lensk is under-rated 1."

By a French privateer, which was captured
yesterday morning by the Bermuda sloop of war,
we learn, that in the three battles fought at Smo-
lensk the French lost 20,000 men. BUONAPA.P.TE
and Staff were at one time totally surrounded by
the Russians ; but observing a weak part, they
made a grand push, and effected their e3cape."

Captain DYNEL-,-, who was taken in the skir-
mish which took place immediately btifore the en-
trance of the allied, troops into Madrid, has
written hotne to acquaint his friends that he is in
good health, and that he is treated with the
greatest kindness by JOSEPH BUONAPARTE, whose
army he accompanied in its flight from Madrid.—
Captain DYNELY has constantly dined with Jo-
SEPH BUONAPARTEi who always placed him at his
right hand at table;

• Extract of a letter from Gibraltar,. dated Au-

gust the 18th :—" Several American vessels have
been detained and sent in here ; and the American
war has already had the effect of raising the price
of colonial produce. The Americans, hitherto
the chief suppliers of the Mediterranean, are no
longer ,likely to enjoy the trade ; so that if the
manufacturers at, home suffer- by hostilities, the
planters:and West India proprietors may pOssibly
be gainers. Peace between Russia and Turkf.ty
has also had some effect on the value of colonial
produce. The Greeks; who bringeorn, wine, and
oil to , this market, have made considerable pur-
chases of coffee, with the view; as it it under—
stood, cf carrying it up the Black Sea."

" SOLDIERS ! To-day we celebrate the anniver-
sary of his Majesty the Emperilr and -King, our
August Sovereign. This anniversary will present
to our imaginations the'-most pleasant ideas, and
remind us of our duties. Our Emperor is in the:
other extremity of .Europe, for the purpose Of.
obliging our enemies to make peace, an,d respect
treaties for the future.,. From this immense ciis-
tance, his Majesty has' cast his eyes upon the
army of the,South, foreseen the results, and taken
measures that we should know his suprerneeon-
fidenee, by wishing we should mtreh and revenge
what hats happened to another army in another
part of the Peninsula. ,
Soldiers !-,Be obedient to the voice of yonr
Chiefs ;" your valour will overcome every obitacle
and fatigue ; 'respect persdns and property-; the
inhabitants of the South lave admired your dis-
cipline; wherever you go, give.a•Similar example;
the day.' will come that the Spaniards who are now..
armed against us will be our friends'; their inte-
rests, time, and reflection, will force this change
in their ideas ; it would he urmatiiral to suppose
they could preserve their frienfiship` for the ene7.,
;riles of their prosperity and independence. •
" No establishment shall be destroyed, not
even, the . many magazines., The Andalusians
know how to preserve,and will bear in mind, that
at some future day, an account will he demanded of
the manner in which they have diqyOsed'of
every thing not useful for the march or battle
. .
disappear.—The army will march: disencumbered
from all that is superfluous. A regulation upon
this subject, as upon discipline, and. the, order of,
march, must be published..

Whoever fails on this head shall be punished
with all the rigour of the law. A military com
mission shall be established for this purpose.

The Madrid Gazette of the 22d init. contains the
following article •
/
" It is known that the intrusive King changed
his route, and is now proceeding by the Arragon
road. The towns of Mancha were inundated with
deserters from his army, who alre.ady_exceed 2000
men, many of whom have entered this capital.--7
Many of the French 'partisans have likewise re-
turned to their houses extremely discontented with
the bad treatment they had receiyed from the
French. General lIILL had orilerci rations to be

got ready, for his army."

them to take care of the'sick.

according to probable and faithful intelligence,
it appears, that the French finished the evacuation
of Seville on the gist, at six in the morning, "and
took the diriction of Cordoba.

By the latest intelligence from Madrid we know
that JosEPH retired by Cuenca, and .that our

CIVIL GOVERNOR OF WITEPSK, 19TH JULY.
I have just received from the Minister at War,
very pleasing. intelligence, God has protected nor -
troops, and the first aoits the enemy have,
.been fruitless; victory has crowned our arms. The

9 French regiments have been defeated; more thau
50 officers, 'and 1000 soldiers babe been made pri-
soners. After the gaining of this battle the second,
army will no longer find any obstacle to
joining the
first in a short time, and' both together will doutless o
take vengeance on the
.unjust .assailants of ur
t,74untry.

His Excellency the Minister at -War adds, ths,t
