A special Messenger was sent off as morning to
the KING at Windsor, with the result of the delibe-
rations of the Cabinet yesterday. At two o'clock
this afternoon, Mr. CANNING, attended by Lord
FRANCIS CONINGHAst, left Gloucester•lodge, in order
to have a personal audience of his MAJZSTV.

We have received ad vices to-day from Vigo, by
the Royal George S:eam-packet, of as late a date as
Saturday last, which seem decisive of the state of
affairs in Gallicia. At that period Corunna was still
in the occupation of the Spanish Constitutionalists ;
but its defence was coini,tered as so hopeless, that
the Governor-General PAMPRELUNA, Sir ROBERT
Wtt.sort, and General QutnocA, had all left it.
PANIPIIELIINA had gone to Vigo, Sir ROBERT WILSON

to Cadiz, and General QulnoGA has arrived in this
country. The French only waited for the coming up
of their heavy artillery, to compel the surrender of
the place. Vigo, too, hiss been invested by the
French, and also abandoned by its Governor, Gene-
ral ROMAYOI who has accompanied QUIROGA in his
Right to this country.
The Royal George arrived at Plymouth on Wed-

nesday evening. Among the passengers there were
above forty Spanish Officers and Gentlemen, in-
cluding Generals duirtoca. and ROMAYO. The fol-
lowing are the particulars collected by our Plymouth
Corr espendcnt :

RIAMOUTII, AUGUST 6.
" Arrived this afternoon, the Royal GeOrge, Steatn-
packet,,from Vigo, which place she left on Saturday
last. Sir JOHN Dovcn, with two Officers, landed, and
set off immediately for town, charged with dispatches.
" The celebrated General QUIROGA, also landed,
and will set off for town to-morrow, it is stated
to be his intention to take a command in another
part of the Peninsula. Genet al RODIAYO, Governor
of Vigo, is also arrived, with about 40 Spanish Officers
and Gentlemen.

" Sir ROBERTWILSON had recovered of his wounds,
proceeded to Vigo, and from thence to Cadiz.
By the accounts received from the passengers by
this vessel, very little hopes remain of any effectual'
resistance to the French being made for the present
in Gallicia. The troops in Corunna were well-dis-
posed, and fought well ; but as the French were in
possession of the heights, which overlooked the place,
not a person could appear in the streets without being
fired at by riflemen. The Spanish riflemen were
also on the alert from the ramparts, under cover of
sand-bags, and a continual firing was kept up. The-
French bad but a few pieces of light artillery; but
when their heavy pieces arrived, which were ex-
pected, the place would not hold out long.
" The French had also invested Vigo, which was
expected rb fall in a short time."

We subjoin also the contents of a Second Edition
of the Plymouth Journal of Wednesday. The suppo-
sition het e throityn out, that General PAMPHELUNS and
Sir ROBERT WILSON had gone to Vigo for the pur-
pose of collecting troops to attack the Fzench in the
rear at Corunna, we hold to be somewhat ridiculous.
The abandonment by all parties appears to bare been
complete
" Journal Once. Seven o'Clock, Wednesday livening.
We this moment stop the press to announce that the Royal
George steam-packet, arrived and landed passengers here about
an hour ago. She left Comma on 'Friday morning, et four
o'clock, for Vigo, taking Sir Roust Wsurix and General Rue-
pigsAnu. the Governor of Corunna, and Staff, passengers. Sir
Roaarr bad his wound, which is in the thigh, dressed on beard
by the surgeon old* Royal George, and was left with General
Pastroacena and kis Staff, at Vigo. Their objectin going-thither
was said to be:to cock ct troops to attack the French in the rear
at Comma.
64 When the French packet left Comma the Speaks* were
keeping up a heavy eanoosade ow the French batteries, but the
latter were in possession of all the heights, and bad it in their
power to raze it so the geonad whenever the thought proper.
The passe:mitts by the packet report. that the Spaniards were
suffering muck from the want of prvrsisions, and the crew state
that they lay so near that they could easily see the French troops,
and actually did see an Oakes killed by athot in the streets of
Ceram& There was only one French frigate blockading the port
w►en she packet left. She alibi from Vigo en Saturday after-
soon at tour o'clock. and the French were then expected to enter
k neat dap, being then only Is miles from it, with Moons° at
their heed, whotad joined than with 1000 men."

The foUowiag extract of a letter from Coruna,

written immediately after the attack of the French''
on the 15th nit. describes store particularly than has
been-yet-done, the conduct of Sir ROBERT WILSON
and Colonel Lttn4T in theafair. It appears to have
been highly meritorious:
• • g CORUNNA, JULY is.
" At three o'clock, yesterday, the French attempted
to take this town by surprise, but were disappointed ;
they commenced the attack with great violence on
the village of St. Lucie, and after a severe action of
eight hours, they gained possession of the heights and
windmills near the town. Sir Robert Wilson, on the
first attack, rushed out of the town, headed the troops
that were under arms, and was the first to meet and
check the enemy. He then dismounted and led on
a detachment of Infantry, when he received a mus-
ket-ball through histert thigh.
" Colonel Light, who bravely supported his Ge-
neral, received a rifle-ball through his right thigh,
and a wound in his hand. They have good surgical
assistance, and are both doing Well. The troops and
the people are all in the highest spirits, and are re-
solved not to submit. Several waggons of Wounded
French, among whom is the General, have been sent
to Betanzos. Mr. Bartlett, the British Consult has
removed to Ferrol. : Captain Harley is appointed to
officiate in his abmice."

OTHER ACCOUNTS'S.'

" Row, Groaos, orr vtaih" Mart 111113.
We have just arrived from COMAS with the
Governor-General Vigo, and his Staff, he ia.appointed
to succeed General. Romayo .here. Corunna:is in-
vested closely by the French troops, and is daily ex-
pected to fall'; the Burgos Militia, and some ,
Bis-
cayan troops of the line have hitherto defended it.
The French General, with.whott“ dined on Thursday
last, at Ferrol, which place therhove had' possession
of for some days, has embarked a battering train on
board a French frigate, which blockades Coranna by
sea, and which has already landed a suifisient own-
ber of cannon to mount the French batteries . which
occupy the heights commanding the town; when I
left, many persons had been wounded, even in the
streets, by the fire of the French musketry, so corn-
pletely is the town at their mercy.

" AusesT 2.

General Quiroga and his Staff, who came with
us Irom Corunna, have just returned on board, to sail
with us for England. Everything is in the greatest
confusion. Morino is within fifteen miles, at l'onte
Vedra, joined by some French troops. He will not
listen to any terms, and, as there are no troops here,
the place must fall. Nlorillo is, I understand, most
anxious to take Sir It. Wilson, who is here with seve-
ral English Officers.
" The troops here cannot be relied on. Eight ban-
died which were sent against Morino two days ago,
went OW to him, and the Authorities are fearful
that the remaining part may follow their example."

" °Vino, AUGUST 3, 1823.

" Sir R. Wilson has just engaged a small British
schooner, in the Newfoundland trade, to take jiim.
self, Captain Erskine, and two or three others, who
are still with him, to Cadizz. The few troops that re-
main here (about 500) are now going to Bayonna
(in Gallicia), with a view of rendering it defensible.
Every boat in the harbour is pressed for this service,
and the guns hi the citadel have been spiked. The
Governor-General ltomayo, his Lady, and Aid-de-
Camp, have just embarked on board the Royal
George, for England. Sir Robert Wilson's wound is
almost well, but poor Colonel- Light, akhougli much
better, is still in a state of great suffering at Corunna
and was not considered sufficiently convalescent to
join Sir Robert here.

"It is supposed the French will haves,ooo troops to
send to the army in the South by the fall of curunna
and Vigo."

Sir ions M. Doing end the two Gentlemen men-
tioned
by our Plymouth Corresperideet; as accom-
panying him (Mr. Pawls and Mr. Ctasir).• strived in
town last night. They were the bearers, respitetheil,
of *dispatches for. Government, and the Spanish-sod
Portuguese Ambassadors.

" The small fottihed tewa of Morella. (kingdom

for about forty days. This place was defended by
150 men of Rallasteres's army.
" The band of Montilla had been attacked and

totally destroyed; these Revolutionists, after skewing
themselves in the province of Soria, crossed the Ebrio;
and pushed rapidly forward, pursued by -the Trap-
pist, between Tiebas and Noain, with the intFrstion.
of penetrating to Pampeluna ; but, nearly surrounded
by a detachment of the 12th Chasseum they hastened
to retrace their steps. At the moment of their re-
crossing the Ebro, this band was attacked near Ca-
dreita, by Colonel Labarthe, who had been for fifteen i
days mancelivring to cut off their retreat. He killed
twenty-seven men and nineteen horses. Montilla took
to flight, but was killed by an inhabitant of Arguedas.

PARIS, JULY 30.

Letters from Madrid of the 31st of July, received
by Express, make known the desperate situation in
which Ballasteros is placed. He is bearing on
Malaga with the three thousand men who still
(follow him ; it is the only step left for him to take,
as he is hemmed in on all sides by Generals
Molitor, and Foissac Latour. The whole popula
tion rose against him in the Sierra Ronda. As to his
troops, they are completely disheartened,' and in a
state of utter disorganization. The General hiniself,
severely., wounded in the leg, cannot ride on horse-
ban, and is obliged tatravel in a carriage.

We have received today the following account;
from Bayonne: '
BAYONNE, AUGUST

The Bulletins of the Army, as La as we have re-
ceived them, not giving any account of the action
before Corunna, though the 25th Bulletin speaks of
Ferrol, we are, therefore, obliged to be content with
reports which cannot be warranted ■s authentic, but
which are all that we haite to guide public opinion
in the absence of official statements. It is related

that, before the French advanced to Corunna, the re-
,gslar troops of the garrison, the Militia, and all the
;_inhabitants, had laboured with great diligence at the.
'fortifications-4o as to put the place in a very respect-
able state of defence, especially by laying snipes an-
der most of the approaches to the town : when the
French, therefore, were proceeding to commence the
hattack on the side of Fort Sainte Lack, the enemy
feigned.to fly before us, in order to draw us to the
principal mine at the promenade of the Canal.
This stratagem was bpt too successful ; the mine
blew up with a dreadful explosion, and caused infi-
nite mischief among our ranks; our loss is variously
stated, and probably much exaggerated, but 'if the
Above particulars are true, it must be apprehended
that it was severe.

The letters fiom Saragossa give an affecting pic-

and the excesses which the rabble commit; there wits
season to fear that all the respectable and visit inha-
bitants would be plundered and murdered ; and it is
said they very narrowly escaped. Similar excesses
were reported to have been planned at Valencia and
other great cities. We learn, by an express from
