'We this day lay before our Readers the 11th
Bulletin of the French Army ; it is dated a wi-
.
Wi-
tepsk, the 4th inst. and we :are perdtaided 'they will
read it with considerable pleasitre. It begins with
.an account of, the positions of all the corps of the,
French Army, and does not limit its information
to those corps that-are actively employed against
the Russians,- but mentions those • that are
at Tilsit, ,and even at Stettin ! The next para-
graph in the Bulletin, we confess, appeat'S to
us not a little extraordinary : instead of follow-
ing up the successes, which be says he has uni-.
formly obtained, BUONAPARTE begins to com-
plain of the execssive heat of the weather, and
adds, that he has dent his army into quarters
of refreshment ! ! This is, indeed, a most ex-1
traordinary measure; delay is to him defeat ; ,the
season is rapidly advancing ; in a very few weeks,
if be doel not obtain a. decisive victory over the
Russian Army, he must inevitably retreat; and.
yet be stops in his boasted career of victory to
send his Army into quarters of refreshntent ! Unless
we arevery much deceived indeed, he has abandoned
. his plan of advancing, and has determined upon his
retreat. s.The news of the battle.of Salamanca,-
w'iich we should suppose had reached hith about the
time this Bulletin is dated, probably contributed
not a little to this sudden change. We have not

tirn..! or room to comment upon this important
intelligence ; we can only express our conviction
that his retreat will he as disastrous as it certainly
will be disgraceful.

The Marlborough packet has arrived from Lis-
bon. She brought dispatches from the Marquis
NVELLINoTpx, whose head-quarters remain -at
• Cuellar ; but a part of the Allied army has ad-
vanced to Aranda in pursuit of the cacmy.
SUCHET, it is said, has advanced towards the
floret with 13,000 men, to take the command of
_MAnmoNT's army, who is dead of his wounds. If
this be true, the French must abandon the greater
part of the southern and eastern part of Spain.
Our Readers will find some interesting
,extracts
from the Lisbon Papers in a subsequent column.

Col. ll.Nmri.Totc ha 'arrived' in la flag Of truce
from Atnerica. It is said, but we do not vouch
for the truth of the statement, that the dispatches
he brings are of a pacific'tendency. Our
dron has taken the American sloop of war the
nautilus, and chased the Constitution frigate 36
hours without being able to come up with her.

Yesterday, at three o'clock, his Royal High-
"less the PRINCE REGENT held a Privy Council at
Callton'llouse, which was attended by all the

INlinisters.

On Saturday the PRINCE REGENT dined with

THE TIIEATRE.—On Saturday an Opera vas
brought forward at the Lyceum, under the title
Of The Privateer, avowedly founded on the
comedy of The Brothers, one of the earliest dra-
matic works of the late Mr. CUMBERLAND. A
Morning Paper of to-day-says,, that this comedy
experienced but an inFlifferent reception on its
first appearance ; but this is not the ft‘ct 3 it was
supported by some of the best performers of the
time, and' was represented with considerable
success. The chief performers • were, WOOD-
WARD, YATES, SMITU, and Mrs. GREEN, who
all exerted themselves very ably. The comedy was
represented in the following season with success,
and in two or three seasons afterwards at the Hay-
market Theatre, and received theie also with
great applause. In its new, form, as an Opera,
much curtailment of the dialogue has taken place,
and some of the subordinate characters have been
omitted. The plot, however, is entire, and is by
no means - devoid of interest, though since the
low* period when the original play appeared some
of the situations and characters have furnished
materials for sUbSeqUent productiims. -The cha-
racters retain their'formcr names, and they were
very ably supported;
.particularly Iroaasides, ;:y
FV.VCETT; Sir Be:ilainin Dove, by LovEoRoVE;
his Lady, by Mrs. SPARKS ; Violetta,• by 'Mrs.
Oaos:tt ; and Sophia, by MISS KELLY. As it
was necessary that a - certain number of songs
should be given; according to the license granted
to this Theatre, it was difficult to introduce them
prOperly, hut altogether they appear with effeet.
Some of them are very htimorolt,,, and the'others
baie more poetical merit than is' usually seen
in modern gperss. Some are adapted to Ohl me-
lodies, and some to original 'airs, which have great
merit: The opera was received throughout with
-great applause, anti several of the airs were en-
cored. •

SECOND EDITION

SUIV-OFFICE,

TWO O'CLOCK.

We stop the Press to lay before our Readers the
French account of the. battle of Salamanca. From
this curious -statement in the itiotiteur our Read-
ers may form an accurate judgment of the reliance
that is to be placed upon the French Bulletins
from Russia.

FARTS, AUG'. 18.---The. Army of Portugal, com-
manded by his Excellency the Marshal Duke de RA-
ousA, was, on the 2.4 th July, encamped on the Dou-
ro, in front of the English' army: The Duke pass-
ed that river on the 16th, at Tordesillas; in suite of
the enemy, and after several actions, in which the
French had always a marked advantage, the ene-
my was driven back to Salamanca, when the two
armies were in front of each other on the 22d : after
a cannonade of some duration on both sides, and
while the Marshal Duke de RAG usA , resolved to
give battle, was occupied in making his final
.
arrangements, he was.stricken by a shell, which
broke his right arm, and woUnfled him in two
places in the right. This accident obliged him to
quit the field of battle; his life is not, however,
in danger. - ,
•

The General of Division,' CLAUZiL, took the
command justas the action commenced ; it con-
tinued for several hours with 'the greatest fury ;
prodigies of valour, and several, actions, worthy
of the French name, were performed. Never-
theless, the accident which happened to the
Duke of RAGUSA had, froM the first, determined
Gen. CLAUSEL to retire upon the right, of the
Tormes.• After alternate and equal successes,
he re-crossed that river at Alba, leaving
one of his divisions to cover the bridge of that
place till the middle of the clay following. The
retreat was effected without molestation from the
enemy, whose loss was very_considerable.,
The French army continued their route, on the
23d of July, by Penaranda, whither they were fol-
lowed by the English cavalry. Our rear-guard
made a su:cessful attack on them, 'forced them
to make a rapid retreat, and killed nunibers of
them. The army then continued their route with-
out any further molfstation, and haie resumed
their former position at Tordesillas, and with the
Douro in their front.

This intelligence has been brought to the Mi-
nistry of the War Department by 11Ir. TABVIER,
Aideclu. Camp to the Duke RAGUSA, who
has been sent by his ExCellency the Nirfr Minister
to the Emperor's head-quarters.

THIRD EDITION.

SUN -OFFICE,
HALF PAST Twd O'CLOCK.

No regular Bulletin of the Dispatches- from
Lord WELLINGTON' has been issued, but the fol-
lowing, we understand is the substance of them.
They are dated Cuellar, on the 4th. They
state, that the French Army of the Centre, after
having passed the Guadarrama, and, after its head
had arrived at Venta de Santa Rafaelle, joined
JOSEPH at Segovia, on the night of the 27th.
The Allied Army were not diverted, however,
from the pursuit of the Army of Portugal (late
MAamoNT's), the rear-guard of which remainect
on the Douro on the 28th and 29th, but two of
our divisions having crossed the Eresma and
Carga on that day, the enemy retired across the
Douro, pursuing the course of their main body
towards Villavancs, abandoning Valladolid, and
leaving 17 pieces of cannon, with a great quantity
of ammunition, their hospital, and about 800 sick
and wounded.

MESQUINEZ, the Spanish General, took 300
'prisoners nedirValladolid.. On the 30th our ad-
vanced guard crossed the Douro, and our troops
were received at Valladolid with enthtisiastic joy.
LordWELLINGTO.N lliOired.'64l-righcalong...the
#Aja to Cuellar, to prevent the junction bets een
the Army of Portugal and the troop under J -
SEPH, and arrived at Cuellar on the Ist inst. On
' the same day, JogErx retired from Segovia, and'
crossed the , Guadarrama, leaving in the for-
mer place an advanced guard, consisting prin-
cipally of cavalry. Before his departure be spiked
the cannon, destroyed the ammunition in the
castle, and carried off the
.Churchlplate, besides
levying•considerable contributions.
The Army of Portugal continues its retreat to-
wards Burgos.
Accounts from Sit' RowLAND HILL to Lord
WELLINGTON state a brilliant affair of cavalry
which took place at Ribera on the 24th ult. The
British were commanded by Sir Wm. Easfugn ;
the-enemy lost 30 me.n in killed, and a-great num-
ber of horses; 11 men and 40 horses were taken :
our loss was only one killed and four wounded.
On the 4th inst. Lord WELLINGTON had learned
that the French troops, under General D'AsPA/4

had retired from Segovia by the way of San Idel-
