The Public will be highly gratified by the agreea-
ble account of the operations in Canada, published
yesterday in a Gazette Extraordinary. The details
which it presents, though relating to military opera-
tions on a comparatively small scale, are of great
value, inasmuch as they exhibit a fine display of the
military skill, discipline and valour, which now per.
vades every rank of the British army, enabling Cap-
tains, Lieutenants, and Ensigns, to perform the du-
ties of Field Officers. This is as it should be. A
power laoldidg the rank which Great Britain does in
the scale of Nations, should never have its army in
such a feeble state as to be in danger of losing its ef-
ficiency by the death of a superior officer. •
The capture of Yorke, the capital of Upper Ca-
nada, by the enemy, was before known. The tem-
porary triumph of the enemy on that occasion has
been snore than compensated by subsequent events.
We have captured the Growler and Eagle,-American
armed vessels. An attack was made by the enemy on
Colonel PROCTER'S position on the Miami River, on the
sth of May, terminated in the defeat of the Ame-
ricans, with a loss of probably 1000 or 1200 men.
The position of Detroit is thus rendered secure,
and we are relieved from all apprehensions of the
enemy passing the Huron river, the north-western-
most frontier of our possessions in Upper Canada.—
But
the most important intelligence in this Gazette,
relates to the battle near Burlington. The enemy in-
tended to attack that post; but was anticipated by a
small corps of 700 men, surprizing his camp in the
night, putting his whole force of 3500 men to route,
and taking twb Generals ! The attack upon Sackett's
Harbour, though in other respects of little import-
ance, serves also to displiy the discipline and bravery
of the British troops, and their great superiority over
the enemy.
The Mary and Jane has arrived at Liverpool
from Quebec, which place she left on the 25th ult.
When this vessel came away it was reported, that
Sir Jazuzs YE() had fallen in with the remains of
the beaten army of the Americans, and nearly de-
stroyed the whole of them.

A Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning. Every
preparation was making to commence hostilities, and
the Expedition, consisting of the German Legion
from England, had arrived safely in the Baltic, The
following are extracts from the Swedish Papers :

" COrI'ENBURGII, JULY 17.

" Yesterday arrived the Expedition from the
Downs, consisting of 32 cavalry transports, one
rocket ship, and 25 ordnance ships, with the 3:1 Ger.
man Hussars, and a regiment of German artillery, in
charge of Lieutenant Clayson ; they will proceed to
Rostock as soon as they have taken in water.
44 The Prince Royal of Sweden is gone to Ruten-
bach to meet the Emperors of Russia and Austria and
the King of Prussia.
4. A Leith convoy arrived yesterday under protec-
tion of the Gallant."

•, WISMAR, JUNE so.

" The first column of the German Legion, which
is coming from Konigsberg, under the command of
General Arenschildt, arrived on the 26th instant at
Schwetit, and was On the 12th or 15th July to join
itself with our troops on the borders of Pomerania.
" His Royal Highness the Crpwn Prince yester-
day took a morning repast with the Duke of Meck-
lenburgh, and arrived here at half.past ten o'clock in
the evening. The city was illuminated, and the joy
was general. It was easy to perceive that Wismar
had formerly been a Swedish city. His Royal High-
ness's departure is deferred till morrow, when he will
return to Rostock, and on the following day go from
thence to Griefswalde."

The Townsend Packet has arrived at Falmouth,
in four days from Corunna, with dispatches from the
Marquis of WELLINGTON of a most gratifying nature.
-They are dated at Zubieta, on the 10th July. • Ge-
neral CLAUSEL is moving from Saragossa upon Jaca,
without waiting for SUCHET. The fact is, that Ctau-
SEL seems anxious to get out of Spain with as many
troops as the Allies will permit him to carry with him.
SUCHET, on the side of Catalonia, has now been
frighientri" in his turn, and is moving up the Ebro,
as quickly as he can.
On this subject our Private Letters state that
« So great terror did the Marquis's movement, in the
direction of Saragossa, throw on the French army,
that on hearing of it CLAUSEL'S army fled in the ut-
most consternation from Saragossa : nor did they
stop till they entered France by the eastern Pyrennees-
This flight entirely defeated the projected junction of
the armies of CLAUSEL and SUCHET ; who, together,

would have been formidable, and acting on one

Bank of Lord Warm:fro% weats have, prevented
the Allied army venturing to enter France"
14 Had not the Alicant army been so extremely
unfortunate as it has been at Tarragona, SucHim
would by this time have been in the most imminent
danger; his army must inevitably have surrendered,
surrounded as it was by the great army under the
MARQUIS, the Alicant army under Sir J. MURRAY,
the triumphant Spanish army under the Duke del
PARQUE, and several smaller armies, besides detach-
ed corps."
4, The good fortune that has attended SUCHET has
infused some courage into his troops, who are now
advancing on the left wing of the Allied Army, and
disturbing Lord WELLINGTON in his movements on
the grand road to France by Bayonne, and will oblige
him to keep a large part of his army to watch
SUCHET."

Another letter from the Army, dated Camp be-
fore St. Sebastian's, 13th inst. which has beer in-
vested for some time, and is now closely besieged,
states, that 2000 of the retreating enemy threw them-
selves into it. " It would have been taken," says
one of the letters, a before this time, but unaccount-
ably there are no men of war on the coast to_attack
•
it from the sea side."

The following is the Bulletin issued by Govern-
tient on the subject of Field-Marshal WELLlFozotes
dispatches :

WAR DEPARTMENT.

sr DOWNINO-STREET, JULY 25, 1813.
" Dispatches have been received from Lord WELLINGTON,
dated Zubieta, 10th July.
" General MINA reports to his Lord.hip, that General Ct
SEL has marched from Zaragoza, towards-Jaca.
" Though the enemy had withdrawn the whole of their right
and left wings into France, still three divisions of the centre un-1
der General GAZA N remained in the valley of Bastan, of which
they seemed determined to• keep possession, as it is very rich and
full of strong positions. Upon the 4tb,sth, and 7th instant, they
were successively dislodged from all their posts by two brigades
of British and two of Portuguese infantry, under Sir RowLA ND
HILL; and were obliged to retreat into France. The loss of the
Allies bas been only 8 killed and 119 wounded. Aunt% the
latter is Lieutenant BALL of the 34th regiment.
" By private accounts it is known, that upon tke 12th the
head-quarters were at Emani ; and Lord WEL LIN cro x bad re-
ceived letters of the 7th instant, from Lord WILLIAM BEN.
TINCit, dated at San Felippe, and from General ELI°, at Valen-
cia. Marshal SUCH LT was retreating towards the Ebro, having
left 2000 men in Murviedro."

The Mail from Corunna, by the Townsend Packet,
though it arrived at Falmouth on the 22d inst. has
not been forwarded to London ; and by reference to
the Falmouth letter, it will be seen that the Townsend
Packet has been sent into quarantine at Stangate
Creek, in consequence of having been at Malta, the
voyage before the last.

A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, but it brings',
no intelligence of importance from the Armies in the
Peninsula. Mr. A'Counr, the British Minister at
Algiers, has succeeded in negociating a Treaty of
Peace between the Portuguese Government and the
DEY of ALGIERS, upon terms highly advantageous to
the former.

Yesterday the new Form of Prayer, as agreed
upon in Council, and issued by the Archbishop of
CANTERBURY, was read in the Cathedrals, Churches
and Chapels in the Metropolis, and most parts of the
country, for the decisive victory of Vittoria on the
21st of June.

The Princess CHARLOTTE has lately had six beau-
tiful grey ponies presented to her, which came from
the Island of Java.

Madame CATALAN' is to sing two nights; in the
third week in October, at the Theatre, Hereford.
Mr. TROTTER, the Store-keeper General of Eng-
land, who recently went out to the B .ltic, in charge
of an immense equipment of appointments and mi-
litary stores for our Allies in the North of Europe,
returned to town yesterday. The dispatches, of
which he was the bearer, were opened by Lord Lt-
vEr.:,oot., in the absence of Lord CASTLEREAGH.
We understand that Commodore RODGERS has
made his appearance at Thurso, where he landed for
fresh provisions, and paid for what he got.
The American Papers ascribe the surrender of the
Chesapeake to an explosion which took place on board
of that vessel while in action. This we know to be false.
Letters have been received, dated on the 2d inst.
from the BARHAM, 74, Captain SPRANGER, which ship
WAS cruizing of the Western Islands, with the CEN-
TAUR, 74, tilaptain CHUTE ; MADAGASCAR, Captain
CURTIS ; and TUSCAN, Captain JONES. They had
not made any captures, though they had given chase
to every vessel that had fallen into their view.—The
squadron did not expect to return to Spithitad until
November. _ _ _

MARGATE, Juror 25.—Yesterday a dreadful thun-
der storm was experienced here ; and, although it
passed over the town without injury, it was produc-
tive of fatal effects in our immediate vicinity. A
donkey party, common at watering-places, consist-
ing of a gentleman, two• young ladies, and two little
boys, had gone in the evening to Ramsgate • on
their return they were overtaken by the thunder-
s•orm: They immediately sought for shelter under
the porch of a house on Chapel-hill, and the two
boys, who drove the donkeys along with them, leav-
ing the donkeys on the road. The storm still con-
tinuing, the donkey-drivers, fearful lest the poor
animals, frightened by the storm, might run home,
went out to see if they were still there. They had
scarcely reached the spit, when a tremendous flash
of lightning struck one of them dead, threw the
other to the ground, scorching his eyes and arms, and
i killed three of the donkeys. The boy, who is alive,
was carried home, and hopes were entertained that
he would recover. Towards evening his case be-
came mere doubtful ; to-day, however, he is much
better, and there is every reason to hope, that he is
now in a convalescent state. There is a large hole in
the left arm of his jacket, where the fluid appears'
to have entered ; and his shirt is scorched almost to
tiuder.
