" Beta' ND Smears !—ln pursuance of the po-
licy advised by our Military Council, the Armies
will, for the present, quit their positions and retire
farther into the interior, in order the more readily to
unite. The enemy may possibly avail himself of this
si.4Ortunity to advance; he has announced this inten-
tion. Dbubtless in spite of his boast, he begins to
,feel all the difficulties of his menaced attempt to
ilulsijugate us, and is anxious therefore to engage ;
he is desperate, and would therefore put every thing
upon the issue of a battle. The honour of our
ewn, the interests of our subjects, prescribe; how-
ever, a different policy: it is necessary that he should
.toe.macie sensible of the madness of his attempt. If
'urged by the desire of obtaining provisions and for-
:age, or goaded by an insatiable cupidity for plunder,
he should be blind to the danger of farther commit-
ting himself at such an immense distance from his ter-
ritories, it world become-the duty of every loyal Rus..
sian—every true friend to his country, to cc-operate,
cheerfully with us in impeding equally his progress
or hi) retreat, by destroying his supplies—his means
of conveyance; in short, every thing which can be
serviceable to him. We, therefore, order, that such
of our subjects in the povinces of Witepsk and Pkov,
wow have articles of subsistence, either for man or
blist, beyond their immediate want, to deliver them
•to officers authorized to receive them, and for which'
shall be paid the fun value out of the Imperial
Treasury. The owners of growing crops within the
distance of the line of the enemy's march, are com-
manded to destroy them, and they shall be zeim-,
bursed their loss. The proprietors of magazines,
either of provisions or -cloathing, arc required to de-
liver them to the Commissaries for the use of the
army, and they will be liberally remunerated. In
general, the spirit of this order is to be carried into ex-
ecution in regard to all articles, whether of subsist-
ence, of chanting, or of convey.oce, which may be
considered useful to the invaders; and tli imivti Ater
. are niadc responsible for the due filltimiciit et these
our commands. ALIOCA.NDER."

On the 11l st, our bead.quArters were itiPortMo.,-*-
-OR that morning. Lord Wellington and his Sullen-
trued V.iilad, I'd, the enemy baying evacuated it,
leaving About 8004ock 'be lospitalis and a C 01111•
&Table quantity of various Ai ives.
The enthusiasm with which Lord Wellington was
received exceeds all ikperiptsua One of his pv.ticipal '
~bject Appears to be so prevent a junction between
the &re-Aced Army aud,Jusepn, who, with about' WOO
Frendh and 9000Juramentados, is about four leagUes
.from Portia s.

The beabon -army, stlth some trifling reinforce-
.mepts, which bad joined since the bat.le, was on
the 31st at Arands de
,Pouro.
Autivar 10.-.-On The 4th .our head-quarters Were
in Cuellar, near Valladolld. On the 7th GentrAl
Hill remained in Star* quo. Soillt was at Seville ;
and report says, Souctiet had arrived at Madrid with
fifteen thousand men. On Lord Wellington's (nut
into Valladolid,' lie was met by all the Magistracy,
ke. and Don Julian Sanches, vat° had arrived before
hiiit. The successful hem( was received with the
*mist enthusia,tic joy.
. By information received from intelligent officers,
who were in the glorious victory of the '22d of July,
and accompanied the Allied Army to the 31st, we
know that the loss of the French up to that day was
twenty-two thousand men in killed, wounded and
prisoners.
Many corps of the enmy's army threw away their
arms to accelerate their flight ; at every step our
troops found French dead, or dying of fatigue.
The French have given a fresh proof of their total
disregard to humanity, in their conduct to their own
soldiers, whom they lelt sick in Valladolid. Eight
hundred of these unfortunate men-were left without
medical or other attendants of any description, and
withoot even an effort, or a request in their behalf ;
left-to the mercy of men, whose companions they hltd
hung and butchered ; those whose wive:, daughters,
and sisters they had violated—whose property they
had destroyed.
Marmont ',lied of his wounds in a village near Val-,
ladolid ; his refrains have been sent to France: ' H
The French ni.w say we had 130,000 men io, the
field, and that the accident alone of Marmont's being
wounded saved us from destruction. It is, hol/4% ever,
well known, that we had but six divisions present, of
which two were never engaged ; the remaining four
were sufficient to drub the enemy.
The beaten army, commanded by Foy or Gresel,!
is in 'full retreat to Burgos; and on the 4th of Au-
gat Joseph, with Jourdan, and 12 or 15,000 meat
were in Segovia.
INTELLIGENCE FROM GENERAL HILT.. - .t-
A.UGUST 10.—By information which we have re.
edged' from Lieutenant-General Hill, upatelhe 4-th.,
instant, it appears that in a certain degree the enemy
%ad-reinforced their troops in Estremadura, and that
the said General had indonsequeuce removed to Zafra.
Souk had heard of the battle, and Ile a true dii-
,
ciple of Bonaparte, ordered rekicings and a grand
entertainment, in honour of Marmont's brilliant vie-
tory t and at the same time pat every animal in the
country in requisition, and took every passible means
of forming depOts, and put his camp in motion,
avowedly for the purpose of destroying General Hill's
force, but his intentions are yet unknown ; he has
made a movement og the left of the Allied Army,
where General Hill M keeping a godd look out to act
or move as circumstances may require.
