A Letter from Heligoland, dated July 8, says,—•
" The frigate, which remained here for some time
with two gun-brigs and eleven gun-boats, have taken
their departure for the Elbe, and in a few days we
hope to hoar some good accounts from that quarter.
Yesterday a boat put in here from the Elbe, by which
we have reports that the Allies have taken Lubeck,
and that the EMPEROR of AUSTRIA is dead."

The Gazette of Saturday contains the important
intelligence of the commencement of the siege of
Pamplona. and of the flight into France of the shat-
tered remains of JOSEPH'S Army, pursued not only by
the Guerillas, but by a regular Spanish Army under
General GIRON.
Marquis WELLINGTON'S intention seems to be to
occupy the Passes of the Pyrennees with such a force
as to forbid all future entrancik to French troops,
while by this movement he also precludes all chance
of escape to SUCHET, CLAUSEL, and Four, the three
French Generals who have now armies in Spain.—
General GRAHAM is at Tolosa, on the Western Py-
rennees, and Lord WELLING ToN is proceeding to the
Eastern Passes.—Sir JOHN MURRAY has landed in
Catalonia. The French now in Spain are between
Scylla and Charibdys.
Some of our contemporaries have hazarded a con-
jecture that his Lordship's next movement will be
towards Bayonne, but the place where his Lordship's
head-quarters were on the 26th, does not admit of
such an inference. With such a force as the three
French Generals above named could unite in his rear,
it would not be\ safe, we apprehend, to advance
against Bayonne with the whole Allied Army : be-
sides a coup de main on the part of the Spaniards who
have been detached in pursuit, would effect every de-
sirable object in that quarter.
Jaca, upon which place Lord WELLINGTON has
moved, is 70 miles eastward from Pamplona, and is
in the direct road from Saragossa to France. Tolosa,
where Sir THOMAS GRAHAM and the Spanish General
GIRON with their divisions have arrived, is only 37
miles from Bayonne.

The following is an eitract of a private Letter,
dated

" CAMO, NEAR PAMPLONA, JUNE

" You will no doubt have fail and most sathfac•
tory accounts of the battle of Vittoria, the most glo-
rious to Old England, and yielding to none in the
most brilliant pages of the annals of our country. The
grandeur of the whole was beyond expression—the
two armies drawn up in face of each other, the
French occupied a large plain in front of Vittoria,
and had posts on two ridges of hills that flanked it
on the right and left.

4' From an early hour in the morning till the mid-
dle of the day we continued to drive the French army
steadily, though slowly, before us, from village to
village, from woods and heights. It was for a long
time an affair of artillery, in which BONAPARTE always
musters very strongly, and they annoyed us much on
the 21st and before ours could be made to tell on them.
—At length the third division was brought to bear
on the French line : the contest was sharp, but not
long—they broke it. The French, who know this
division full well, cried out, it was " c'est la division
de Picton," and they retreated with the greatest speed,
leaving their guns. The gallant Hussar Brigade
came up, chased their rear-guard, and secured, as a
prize, their whole artillery, great part of the bag-
gage of the army, and the carriages and wine of the
French Officers.

41 The Portuguese troops have of late often be-
haved like good soldiers, but never with such distill.
guished gallantry as on this occasion; their Line, and
the firmness with which it advanced, was the admi-
ration of the whole army. You will, I know, be
glad to hear that, in the battle of the 21st, the Spa-
nish division under General Mcaltus, behaved very
well.

ig We have to regret the loss of some brave Offi-
cers. The Hon. Colonel CADOGAN, a relation of the
Marquis's, has often distinguished himself in the corn
mand of the 71st Highlanders, in South America
and in this country. Colonel GRANT was a most
gallant old soldier, and respected by the whole army.
He had often distinguished himself in India ; his
gallant conduct in front of Gibraltar saved the re.
maioder of the little army there, when General Lord
BLANEY was taken by the enemy.

.44 The Marquis of TWEEDALE was wounded slightly,
and for a short time inopossession of the enemy, but
got off from them.

" As usual, our illustrious Chief was in the heart
of the shot. Marshal BERESEORD had a bullet brush
his cockade, when near the Marquis.
66 The enemy made a desperate attempt to turn
upon us and retake their carriages, baggage, kc.
and endeavoured to get into the town ; but the inha-
bitants seeing this, several of them got firelocks, and
from the walls of Vittoria threatened to fire on the
French if they attempted to push in.
66 The plunder made by some men is enormous :
a drummer got £l5OO in gold, and several dragoons
are very rich in money and jewels.",
