131,0ne letters from Plymouth, received this morn-
kip we learn that the HERMES, of 20 guns, Captain
pima Banwes, has arrived from Lisbon. It might
have been expected that the first arrival would have
mined the truth of the reported victory gained
by Lord WELLINGTON-but our letters are most con-
dictorl: one of them states that the HERMES was
tra
le days on her passage—were 'this correct she might
bare brought news from the army one day later than
the reported battle ; but another letter says, she was
gi days on her voyage I None of the letters that we
have yet seen report any intelligence brought by the
gouts

One of our correspondents informs us, that his Ma•
dl's ship MAGNIFICENT (which arrived at Plymouth
en Monday from the coast of Spain) brought a Sala-
spga Gazette, dated several days after the battle,
glikb not only enumerates the particulars known
bike, but adds, that General BONNET dud in that
fey of big wounds 1

To this we have to add that a letter, dated Castro,
brit I, from a Military Officer of distinction, at-
tubed to the expedition under Sir Hoses POPHAM,
in the following postscript i , _

Yost have heard of Lord Ws Lir NGTON'S victory. We have
)ad a Tc Diums and a- Fee de jeis here on the occasion this day.—
Spaniards are all exultation. Lord WELL' MOTO is, in addl..
iss to his present Spanish title of Duke of CIUDAD RODRIGO,
ding have the higher dignity of Patent's DE LA Golan*, in
esetraistinction to GODOY'S title of PaINCIPR es LA PAZ. This
issekl he so much the more just and acceptable, as Lord Was.-
steovon has opened a direct road to the deliverance of Spain by
Ms victories, and above all, by this last and greatest; while G o DOY
paved the way for its subjugation by the peace, which was made
We ground of his creation."

We understand that a private letter from Sir
POPHAM, to a Mercantile House in the City, does not
state that any British troops eilered St. Andero.

Another Gottenburgh Mail arrived this morning,
brought to Yarmouth in three days. This extraor-
dinary quick passage may be easily accounted for by
adverting to the state of the wind, which has. been
northerly for these ten days past. We have but little
sews by this opportunity. The following is the only
article worth extracting from the Swedish papers :

" GOTTENBURGH, AUGUST 9.
We have this day received a confirmation of the
report of the city of Moscow having given the Em-
por of Russia 100,000 men to assist him in the de-
fence of the country.
"All the large cities in the Empire are expected to
follow so noble and patriotic an example, by which
suns the army will be increased to an almost in-
credible degree.
" Letters from the Russian head-quarters are una-
nimous in representing the unanimity and enthusiasm
which pervades all ranks in the Rehlian army, and
tcefidently speak of the eventual result of the great
west.

" The English packets have this day been allowed
to come up to the town.
" Accounts from the Prussian frontiers continue
to announce the arrival of fresh French troops in that
kingdom. Upwards of 9000 of different descriptions
ha►e lately passed through Burg, and then& pro_
coded to Berlin."

The HORATIO frigate, Lord GEOTME STVART,
from the North Cape, has arrived at Yarmouth.—
The boats of the HORATIO have cut out a French
cutter and lugger, and an American their prize ; in
which action, we are sorry to state, that they had
eleven men killed, and thirteen wounded.—Among
kilkd is the first Lieutenant of Marines and the
Doctor's Mate.—The Prizes are not yet arrived.
Two large fleets of merchantmen, laden with grain
and naval stores, passed Yarmouth yesterday, from
the Baltic.
BY the Lim packet, which has arrived at Har-
With with mails and passengers from Gottenburgh,
we have received accounts that Lord CATHCART had
arrived in Wingo Sound ; that Mr. THORNTON had
quitted Sweden in a frigate for Copenhagen !—This
is slngular-4a Denmark about to join the league
against NAPOLEON and his satellites ?—The LARK
Palled the outward-bound convoy, beyond the Scaw,
tl well.
A Ruuian Nobleman arrived in tbwn this morning
aitb dispatches from the Court of StoPetersburgh.
After holding a conference with Lord CASTLEREAGH,
Downing-street, he proceeded to Count WonoN.
*Mir in Portland-place, who it will be recollected
*at formerly Ambassador from Russia. It is under-
Itaki that the Russian Nobleman in question comes
10 make arrangements for the reception of Novo-
Ill•Tz0/71 the Ambassador recently appointed to this
country.

I
Mum:4Rem DUEL.—A duel was lately fought at
Norfolk, (Virginia) between two gentlemen, who
held the pistol to each others breast, fired together at
liie word, and both fell dead. The seconds imme-
chi* escaped, leaving no one to take care of the
bodies.

THE EARL OF YARMOUTIL—The French Paper
which had accused his Lordship of breaking his pa-
role, makes the following amende honorable in its very
next number.. To make charges lightly is the usual
practice of the French Papers. The following is the
only instance we recollect of their haiing confessed
them to be unfounded :

" In our last Publication we accused Lord Yarmouth of having
violated his parole of honour. In that we have been guilty of a
gross error. Lord Yarmouth, after having quitted France upon
his parole, and returned with Lord Lauderdale, whom we have
seen in Paris, obtained his release in order to return to London.
We hasten to repair an involuntary injury, and to perform an
act of justice which is doe to Lord Yarmouth. God forbid that
we should ever employ the weapon of falsehood, even when we
have to contend against the most bitter enemies of Frauce
Gazette di Front&

On the anniversary of the PRINCE REGENT'S Birth-
day, it was exactly 98 years since GEORGE I. was
proclaimed in London, Queen Aram having died OD
tile Ist of. August, old stile.

THE AE MY.

•
Two Companies of Artillery are ordered to be
prepared fot immediate embarkation for Barbadoes
and Jamaica.

A detachment of the 37th Foot, 200 strong, has
received the -route from Battle, for Portsmouth, to
embark for Gibraltar.
The following reinforcements were, on the 13th, on
their march to jr,;it Lord WELLING-con, and must
have reached him time enough to share in the battle:
—The 4th Regiment, from Ceuta; .sth, from Cork,
88th, ditto; 42d, from England ; 600 Artillerymen
and horses.
The 2d battalion of the 9th, and the 82d, from
Gibraltar. were also hourly expected at Lisbon, and,
as they would be marched off instantly on landing, it
is not impossible but that they may have also partici-
pated in the glory of the day.
