Zet Gazette of last night contains a dispatch from
the marquis of WaLIJNOTON, of the 18th ult. but as
p We already stated, it contains no intelligence of
which we were not before in possession.
MAnisoNT's army, or rather the army of Portugal,
has feebly resumed offensive operations by reentering
Valladolid, but it is not likely that their reinforce-
ment/ from France will be of such a magnitude for
some time as to enable them to threaten the positions
or the British. General CLINTON is sufficiently strong
Ctiellar to resist all attempts from the North,
while the Gallant Marquis will, *e trust, speedily
follow up his splendid victories, by the defeat of
SOULT or SVcIIET in the South of Spain.
The following letter from an Officer in- General
BILL% army, announces some most impertant events :
" BADAJOZ, AUGUST 24.
We have just received official intelligence, that Valencia is
again in our bands, having surrendered to the expedition from
Majorca. It is also reported that 'Tarragona, and even Lerida,
have fallen.
" General HILL has orders to advance, and hi: operations
willbe conducted in conjunction with the dlvlaion at Ayarnonte,
sad with the forces under BALLAST LIM
" King fawn has retreated, and is gone—nobody knoWs
whither. Ihe utmost harmony prevails between the Allies and
the native troops, and consistently with this good understanding,
all the Spanish Gueiillas in the neighbourhood of Madrid, have
gladly placed themselves under the orders of Lord WILL NGTOW
Prong the principal Chiefs who have submitted to this arrange.
rent, are the celebrated cliampiobs, the lament/m sod she
MLDICO."
The same letter states, that Souvr had not left Se-
vile, and the probability is, that. the date assigned in
the Lisbon Gazettes for this event is erroneous, since
the liege of Cadiz, according to our Gazette Extraor-
dinary, was sot raised until the night of the 24th and
the morning of the 25th.
General Cavz was, on the 18th August, inVillarosa.

We are still unable, from the non-an•ival of intelli. I
genee from the French coast, to confirm .or refute the
accounts transmitted us yesterday from Dover, of the II
battle between Smolensko and Moscow.—We are not
inclined, however, to discredit the statements in our
Dover letters of yesterday, and we certainly think
that probability is on the side of the general accuracy
of the'statement. Some of the letters from Dover
gave the loss of the French In wounded, as acknow- I
!edged in their own Bulletin, at/flees thousand, and
upon this our contemporaries have reasoned as throw.
ing discredit on the whole story. Our letter stated
the loss to be fifteen hundred, and by this statement
we must abide, as being the most probable, until we
receive the official details.
The broad fact of the advance of the French army
beyond Smolensko, cannot be disputed, for.thie battle
ot'Valentina was fought in advance beyond that
place. Neither can it be for a moment doubted, that
the French leader would push forward to Moscow as
rapidly as he could, in order to get his troops under
cover in the event of their being overtaken by a Rus-
sian winter. In this event the Russians will shape
their retreat towards St. Petersburgh, where their
means of supply will be ample, while famine and the
severity of winter must spread.havoc among the ranks
of their invaders.

Yesterday the Duke of CLARENCE had an audience
of the PRINCE REGENT at Carlton House.

His Excellency the Spanish Ambassador is making
great preparations for a grand entertainment to the
Royal Princes and the Cabinet Ministers, in honour
of the Marquis of WELLIXOTON'S Victory.
A strong canvas has been commenced for the Bo-
rough of Northampton, in opposition to the North-
ampton family, in expectation of an immediate dis-
solution of Parliament.
We have information from the United States that
ao fewer than 100 licences were granted by Mr. Fos-
TER for ships to proceed with grain to the Peninsula.
What respect these licences will meet with, may be
collected from the following paragraph in the Co-
lumbian:
" Philacklphia, July 24.
" Two days after the privateer Atlas, Capt. Moir-
VATT, cleared the Cape of Delaware, she boarded,
under British colours, the brig Tulip, Capt. Mom*,
hound from New York to Lisbon, havins on board
1400 barrels of flour, and some salt provisions. Cap-
tain MOFFATT affected to be sailing under.a British
commission,. and threatened immediately to send the
! ulip into a British port. He kept the delus'on so
well, as completely to satisfy the Captain of the Tu-
lip that the Atlas was a British, and not an Ameri-
can privateer. This conviction being produced, Cap-
tain Mosica said be would satisfy Captain MOFFATT
that lie ought not to resist or detain him. He infor-
med him that he had dispatches from Mr. FOSTER,
and produced a British licence.—" These papers,"
said Captain MOFFATT, " are quite satisfactory ; and
now, instead of sending you into a British port, I
will send you into the port of Philadelphia." He
then pot five men and a prize-master on board, and
the Tulip is cow lying off Walcut•street Wharf."
