It appears by the Cadiz and Lisbon Mails of '6a-
day, from which we have given other ample extracts,
that the Spanish Government have determined to
present Lord WELLINGTON with the Order of the
Tolson, (Golden Fleece) ; and the Cortes have de-
creed, that a monument shall be erected near Sala-
manca, in commemoration of the victory on the 22d
of July, Upon the official details of that glorious
event being read to them by the Secretary at War,
they unanimously, amidst 'reiterated exclamations
from the galleries, of 44 Long live the Natien,"—
si Long live our Allies,"—passed a Vote of Thanks
to the Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO, and the troops un-
der his command : and appointed a deputation to
trait upon Mr. HENRY WELLESLEY, our Ambassa-

dot, to congratulate him upon so signal a victory.—

The expedition from Cadiz, consisting of 7000

if so, it is probably intended to co-operate with Ge-

brandy destroyed ; the grain and straw were left un-
