SECOND EDITION.

TOTAL DEFEAT OF DUPONT.
AND
THE SURRENDER OF HIS WHOLE ARMY.

STAR. OFFICE,
THREE O'CLOCK, P. M.
A Messenger arrived in town this afternoon at
the Admiralty. Ws'dispatches are said to be of the
yeast agreeable nature. Dovorr, according to the
circulating rumour, has surrendered, with all his
army, to the extent of 510,000 men, to the Spanish
Patriots.
It is also reported that Sir A. WELLESLRY has dis-
embarked and is within three days march of Lisbon.
Since writing the above, we have been favoured
with a copy of the Official Dispatches from the Spa-
nish Generals CAsrANos and TILLY to the Supreme
,Tunta of Seville,announcing the glorious victory over
General DUPONT :
" MOST EgRESE LORD, _
have the satisfaction to inform your Highness
of the maple, victory which has been gained since
eta Ilattle of Baylen. General Duroor is a prisoner
ef war, with alibis division, arms, artillery, baggage,
Ike. The remainder, who were not engaged in the
salon, although they did not share this fate, are
included in the capitulation, and obliged to return to
'France by sea, that not a Frenchman may remain in
Andalusia. My Nephew, Colonel Don Non° An-

errs GAON, will communicate the details of the
affair ; in the mean time I assure your Highness that
;he gallantry of the Officers and Soldiers,• and their
constancy under toils and privations are worthy of
the just estimation in which the army deserves to be
bald by your Highness, and of the confidence I en-
itrtained of their patrintism and zeal for the public
4atise.

" I venture to request of your Excellency the ful-
filment, in my name, of the vow made by me to de-
dicate this action to the glorious San Fernando.
" May GOD preserve you many pears.

The following is another letter from his Excellency
ant DE Tit :
' Yesterday, the 40th July, Spain, et more pro-
perly, your Highness's army, gained the bog com-
plete victory the Nation has for many centuries be-
held in these parts. The result has been similar to
that of Baylen ; in one moment the Andalusans have
been freed from the French arms.
"The division of Dtn'orr with all its baggage, its
booty, and all its Generals are prisoners of war; and
the other divisions which occupy his Majesty's do-
minions, from the summit of the Sierra to Baylen,
are to evacuate the Peninsula by sea.—This is the
principal point of the Treaty, which General. CASTA-
MX and myself had the satisfaction to sign last night,
And as we withdrew from the field at midnight in
-want of sleep and rest, I cannot immediately send
your Highness the particulars of the Capitulation, or
of the events which have taken place, but trill do it
as early as possible.
84 This most agreeable intelligence will be carried
by the Lieutenant-Colonel of the column of Provin-
cial Grenadiers, Don Panno JEROMI, an Officer of
the greatest merit, and who, by talents and courage
on many occasions, and particularly in this army, has
rendered himself worthy of any favour your Highness
Illy bestow upon him.
" I have directed that the oath of Allegiance to our

Sovereign King FERDINAND VII. which has not yet
been taken in this city, should be administered to-day,
' that Tr Drum should be sung, and an illumination
21-ide for three nights.
" GOD preserve your Highness many years.
44 Most Serene Lord,
" Count Ds TILLY.
'' The Moot Serene Lord tb. President,
and Member of the Supreme Junta
of Spain and else hulks."
The above Dispatches we. e brought to the Admi-
ralty by Lieutenant ALT of the Black Jock lugger.

A letter from Amsterdam, dated the 2t3th ult.
states the arrival of a British Minister at Vienna, sup-
posed to be Mr. ADAIR ; that he had a flattering re-
ception from the Austrian Minister, Count SvAmot4,
and had had several interviews with him and the
Russian Ambassador, Prince Kula/ux.
Government has received dispatches from India to
the middle of March, which announce the breaking
Jut of a new war amongst the Seiks, in consequence
of which, some powerful bodies of troops had been as-
.embled on the banks of theAttock. One of these had
en Gut to pieces by the opposite party, in attempting
penerate to Lahore.

THE -GRAND EXPEDITION.

Saturday five sail of transports, having on board
the 4th battalion of the Ist Regiment or King's
Royals, arrived at Harwich from Scotland, under
convoy of the PROTZCTOR gun-brig. The men were
expected to land to-day, and march to Weely bar-
racks. They are commanded by Colonel HAY, and
are about 1200 strong. They sailed from Leith
Roads on Tuesday last.

This morning the e following letter reached us from
one of the Officers :

" Of the Start Point, August S.
We have now been six days in the Channel with
contrary winds every day, but this morning the wea.
thee appears more favourable.

" The rendezvous is changed from off the Tagus ;
it is now off Vigo,. which is in Spain, near the bor.
ders of Portugal. Fortunately, few accidents have
happened, considering such a large fleet : I have
heard of only one, the transport Ralph Nicholson
ran foul of the transport Williams, and has been
obliged to put into a port with five feet water. The
Williams lost her bowspnt and topmast, but proceeds
with the fleet, not being otherwise disabled."

" NINE O'CLOCK, A.M.
" The wind is now quite favourable, what little
then is of it, but it is almost a calm."
