CORTF.S, OF ARA' Z.

" Conde de Tonmo gaVe an account to the Con-
gress of the proceedings of the Deputation from the
Cortes, which yesterday went to congratulate his Bri-
tannic Majesty's Ambassador, on account of the ce-
lebrated Victory of the 21st of June ; he stated that
the Marquis of Villafranca addressed the Ambassa-
dor, who replied, in terths the most honoutable to
the Spanish troops, for the share they had in the
victory.
di Senor It. daisba, in the name of his Province
of Charts:, and of the City of Plata, offered to de-
fray the expellee of a Medal, in honour of the Duke
of Ciudad Rodrigo, on which should be a bust of
N.M.—Approved without discussion.—,(Here Lord
Wellington': efitleatehes were read).
" Senor ARGUELLES—AIthough the Duke of Citi
dad Rodrigo does not require fresh proofs to be con-
vinced of the pure sentiments of gratitude which ani-
mate the Congress, in respect to this Illustrious Cap-
tain, I think that the chile ii now arrived when the
Cortes should bestow upon hint a territorial property,
as it has already elevated him to the first class of the
Civil Order, I, therefore, propose,

LANCASTERIAN FEMALE TUlTlON.—Yestellialy. Mr.
LANCASTER delivered, to a numerous and respectable
audience, in the City of London Taierii, a most in-
teresting Lettnre on an Unproved tystern of Fetpale
Education, which has tor its object, with other bene-
fits, to teach the children all the essential requisites
of needle-work, with a facility and dispatch hitherto
inconceivable. The tie* system *as illustrated by
an exhibition of the practice, by several young chil-
dren, in the presence Of the auditory ; after which the
children walked round the room and exhibited their
work, which was highlt appro+ed by the ladies present.
Mr. LANcaitett, in the course of his lecture; paid a
Well merited eulogiuni to bur'revereci Sovereign for
the effectual patronage afforded by his MAJESTY to
the Lancasterian systeth of education, and expressed
a fervent desire that his health might be speedily re-
stored that he may witness this farther improirement
in the education of the children of his poorer subjects.
tin elOquent and grateful compliment was paid to
her Royal Highness the Princess of WALES, who had
intended to be present on this occasion, but was pre-
vented by indisposition ; a circumstance which was
made known by a letter froth Lady C. LINDSAY,
which was read. The Lecturer concluded his ani-
mated and interesting address by holding up for imi-
tation the example of those illustrious personages
the Dttkes of KENT and Sussex, who have so nobly
espoused the Lancasterian system of education, and
lent their exertions to every effort which has for its
object the promotion of religion, humanity, and the
improvement of Morals.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON 'WARD
HIS MAJESTY'S SHIP SURVEILLANT/Li DATED 07F IT.
SEBASTIAN* JULY 8.
4' On the 4th, Lord Wet.lNotorr was at Sant,
due North of Vittoria. CLAusees troops, disencem-
bered themselves of every article of beegage, even to
their knapsacks, firelocks, and ammunition, to fatili.
tate their flight, so that, they became in truth,, no
other than a scattered rabble. Under such circUm-
stances, it was not possible for any body of troops to
hap pace with them. Very many of Ccays/Ws.corps
,ware t-lum but. by owertion so get away 6 and, many
mote will fall by the hands of the justly eiasperated
Guerrillas in the mountain's.
el The principal force of the enemy; after the affair
of Tolosa, fled by Irun, where they made a halt,
then suddenly passed the riLer into France, burning
as they retreated the wooden bridge Which connected
that country and Spain. Fontarabia, and that part
Of the coast is watched by a division of Spadish
troops, whilst Sir THOMAS GRAHAM conducts the
siege of St. Sebastian by land, and Sir GEORGE
COLLIER the blockade of the port by sea. We have
sent the. General from our ship two 24-pounderi to
i.form a battery against a Convent in advance of St.
Sebastians ; but yesterday the transports arrived, and
they are now in the Port of Passage, which surren-
dered a few days since to the Guerrilla Colonels
GASPER and Lorna, with whorh we are in•canitant
communication. Guetaria was also evacuated by the
enemy, on our appearing of Deba, and the garrison
got to St. Sebastian. This post, situated on a rock,
the strongest that can be imagined, Might have been
held by the enemy as long as a French force had re-
mained in any part of Spain, the French having
'lately added considerably to its unusual natural
strength. Their retreat Was however so much accele-
rated by our appearance, that they kft their stores of
provisions undestroyed ; but as it seems the peculiat
character of Frenchmen to refine upon mischief and
cruelty, they left a concealed match in the magazine
that should burn a certain time ; and, as a decoy to
the unthinking inhabitants, placed two pipes of wine
near the magazine, judging these would collect many
people to rejoice at their expulsion, any!, at the time
intended, the explosibn took place :—it was a most
awful right. Many lives were lost ; all the boats and
daft in the Mole were blown to atoms, and sunk, and
the people in them mangled in a dreadful manner :
but this was nothing to what they did at Caitro.
4, The weather upon this coast has been ennsually
bad for the Summer, and we are now at anchor in 50
fathoms, about two miles and a half from the shore,
having the Port of Passage to tun into in the last ez-
trernity, though this is so narrow, and the basin so
filled tip with mud by the neglect of the French, that
an extrethe case only would, I fancy, induce us to
trust to it. Our Captain was at the head-quarters
the other day to meet Sir Thor4as GRAHAM* and
learn distinctly all his wishes ; they seem to be to
keep the Port of St. Sebastian iti as close blockade as
possible. Half a doien of small schooneri would he
of incalculable value to es now, as the enemy have
at St. Jean de Ltix several vessels with provisions and
ammunition, waiting the opportunitk for ttying to
get into St. Sebastian ; and unless we get Some small
craft, I see not how we are to prevent them ; and
the possession of St. Sebastian is most important to
Lotd WerlaNtrroa's proCeedings, and Must be had
before he can act with safety against Pampluna, and
I think some heads will be broken before it falls, the
town being regularly fortified, from whence, in ne-
cessity, retreat may be made to the citadel, which is
at the top of a rock, the approach to which is de-
fended by a line of walls flanked by small works and
red~ until you arrive at the very. crown ; but it
is said the citadel cannot hold more than 400 men,
and is not bomb-proof, and the present garrison of
St. Sebastian is 2,200; so that our artillery will pro-
bably make a heavy reduction of this number by
shells; within a fortnight from this date, much, I
think, will be dune."

' THE ARMY.

,

We Are sorry to :rite, that intelligence has been
received of the death of Lieutenant-Colonel CHARLIII
FANa, of the 59th regimentcat Vittoria. of the wound
he received in the great battle. He was one of the
mot promising officers in the service.

, A detachment of the WI Regiment eMbarked at
PPpnouth on Monday last for Spain.
The Panics RenatiT's Own Royal 'Lancashire.
Regiment of Militia marched from Chatliarn Bar-
racks; in three divisions, on Wednesday, Thursday,
and Friday, lait week. for Bristol, where transports
are id readiness to convey this tine and highly disci-
plined regiment to Ireland.
Wedneiclay the Killtear.y regiment of militia at-
tired at Harwich Barracks to replace the StAfford.
Since the capture of the French ladies and of the
Spanish ander their protraction, after the battle of the
21st, the army musters very strong in that ironch.—
Previously to the junttion of this reinforcement at Vit-
toria, it was calculated, that of English. Portugliese,
and Spanish liclies, there were not less than 14,000
!I-evening with the army. A serious thing, when it
is considered that they all require and get provi,ions,
and many of them are mounted on asses, mules, and
good horses.

Vittoria is an elegant city, with splendid buildings
and a magnificent square. The Life. Guards make
a great figure there. They were sent in on first
taking possession, to prevent the cruel scene of pil-
lageomd sometimes worse scenes, carried on by, the
soldiery on these occasions. They executed this duty
admirably well, parading as they used to do the
Streets of London in riots. Tbey fprmed the guard
at the Impetial Palace; where Lord WeLtrwarots was
lodged, and were posted under the archways and, at
public buildings. 'Their fine large manly figures
were Much adMired by the iehabitants, and tlie
French ladies did not fail to evince their partiality to
them : grief for the loss of their husbands and for
captivity was in twenty-four hours dispelled by the
charms of their new friends.

- PITTORM FETE AT VAUXHALL.

The general conversation of all classes of perms
throughout the capital, still runs upon the grand na-
tional entertainment of Tuesday. It was ndt till a
late hour on Wednesday morning that the last of the
immense train of carriages; which conveyed the om-
pany, could atcomplish their return boron!. T'hii will
be easily reconciled by a simpleiakulatiOil suggested
ito us by an ingenious friend, n the way of prognosti-
citicin, previoui to the occurrence; and fully verified
by the event :—Tiking the total number cf carriages
at 1500, which under-rates them much, and allowing
to each carriage-only one minute to set down and to
take up, these operations must reciuire twenty-five
hours for the mere debarkation and re-embarkation of
the whole 'company ; to which is to be added the de-
lay necessarily incident to the'throng and lock of car.
riages, intangleinents,aceidents: &c. We are happy
to find; however, that no serious mischief occurred;
all the injuries being confined to fracturet df eartiateis,
and rents of dresses, and such other little events, as
are 44 ale for the good of trade." Several companies;
on regaining their carriages, and finding that dis-
abled from moving, quietly pulled up the blinds and
set themselves to sleep. Others amused thenitelves
Stith laughing at the personal struggles of otheri
through the crowd of servants and spectators, from
which they had themselves gained an asylum. The
. se:denim of the light finger were active to Avail them-
selves of the opportunitiei thus copiOesly afforded,
and, besides very industrious coFps without the Gar-
den., some Of the chiefs contrived to mix with the
.higher game within, putting in requisition snuff-bocci,
watches, &c. Some of the principal :practitioner*
were, however; checked in their glorious career tit
the intervention of that cruel tyrant of the thieves,
Townsehd; who attended for the purpose with tl se
lect company of assistants. .
Except the Marquis of WzrairVarox, there Swat
no toast received with such enthusiasm as that of the
Pntuoi REGENt. Nine rounds of universal
plause, with htizzas and acclamations long continued,
followed its being giSen from the Chair.
Among the most engaging women was Miss FITS.
CLARENCE, accompanying her father.
A groupe of four females of colotir, eitofted by
some military men, *ere noticed by every body, and
eurtsied to by the Princes! of WALES ; they appeared
to be almost wholly unknown, but the singularity of
their dresses deserves notice. These females were
commanding figure!, personable, and walked with
great dignity. On their heath they wore large combs,
resembling scollop shells, wholly composed of real
pearls ; from the back of their heads were suspended
sea-weed, in cluiters. India gold dresses, trids
Bishop's sleeves of the saute stuff, with massy gold
Armlets ; cords and taisels around the waist, rem..
Wing, iri thieknels, beltropes. White satin; and gold
boots, complete the outline.
The Ladies wete mostly dressed ptirpostly for the
Ball, having their dresses festooned tap with laurel
leaves. A great proportion were of white sattin, with
Spanish sleeves and Spanish hats ; plume of ostrich
feathers complimentary to the PiIIPICS Renew. The
waists were Short, and excessively bare about tha
tteek and Shoulders. Grecian heasl-dreises, with wild
Bowers in the form of wreaths, or shell-lace caps;
Made after the Spanish costume, sheeting the ears.
Many of the bodies of the dresses embroidered in gold
or silver, with plain skirts or demi-trains. Laurel
leaves general on the head and breast. White sattin
dresses, usually accompanied by diamonds. Those
who had not brought with them lterel Mates, took
them fro: the gardeA.
