DISPATCHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.
His Majesty's brig JASPER, Captain HUNLOKE, has
arrived at Falmouth with a Mail and Dispatches
from Lisbon, after a passage of 14 days. SoULT is
once more advancing rapidly towards Badajos, and
is said to have a fcrce of 25,000 ; the siege of that
fortress is consequently raised, and Lord WELLING-
Tow, with the allied forces, are en their march to
-• meet them ; the battle is expected to be dreadful.
Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches, brought by the
JASPER, are dated Albuera, the 12th ultimo. They
contradict the report of the siege of Badajoz
having been raised ; but state that his Lordship had
left that fortress in close blockade. The remainder of
the allied Army, with Lord WELLINGTON at its head,
is in full march to meet the French, who were also
advancing, and a battle was expected ev.-ry minnta..
It was not known that Socur commanded the French
himself.
The following are the principal articles of intelli-
gence brought by the above Mail :
LISBON, JUNE 15.
Lord Wellington has abandoned the siege of Ba.
dajoz, and advanced to meet Sault, who, we hear, is
on the advance with great reinforcements from the
neighbourhood of Seville. As to Badajoz, its fate
must depend on Soult's ; and of that there can be no
doubt, if Lord Wellington only meets him in battle.
The Plains of Badajoz would be favourable to Soult's
cavalry, and the neighbourhood of the town would
likewise favour him. Lord Wellington will now fol-
low that plan which his vast and comprehensive
genius has hitherto always acted upon—he will choose
his own time and ground for fighting ; and such is
the great confidence placed in him by all persons in
the army, as well as in this place, that we have no
' other dread than that Sault will have sufficient pru-
dence to avoid a rencontre.

An affair of cavalry took place on the Coa on
the 6th instant. The enemy advanced in very great 1
force, General SLADE, with his usual gallantry
and conduct, met them, at the head of the 14th
Dragoons, and notwithstanding their immense su-
periority, 1w twice cut through them with great
slaughter, and forced them to fall back upon Sa-
lamanca. Our loss on this occasion amounted to
abeut twenty-four in killed, wounded and missing,
that of the enemy was extremely severe. A very
considorable part of the force of the North has
been drawn to the Saudi, to join Lord Wellington's
army in that quarter.

His MAJP-STY'S Physicians met yesterday to deli- I
berate on the report of the state of the KING'S health,
and th probability or improbability of his becoming
capable of resuming the reins of Government. This
r,..port must be made to the Privy Council on Friday
next. ',The consultation on this important occasion
lasted-more than three hours.
The letters received by the Heligoland Mail of
yesterday state, that die measures lately adopted by
the Danes seem to be of a pacific tendency towards
this cniiitry. The differences between Russia and
France are by no means adjusted, according to the
above accounts.
The following fresh Order on the subject of licences
was issued yesterday by the Board of Trade :

Aientints from the Caraccas, by the way of the
United States, state that MIRANDA had endeavoured
to erect a Consular Government, previous to the
Meeting of Congress ; but had been successfully op-
posed by an Irish Gentleman of the name of BURKE.
A gallant achievement has been performed by the
posioes, and two other vessels, on the Coast of Cor-
si.ca. Government have received an account of this
affair, d.tted the 17th May. It was effected on the
. Ist at Sagone, by the POSIONE and UNITE frigates,
and Scow• sloop.of war, which on that day attacked
. :three huge French store-ships, moored under the pro-
tection eta battery of four guns and one mortar, and
a martello tower, mounting one heavy gun. In addi-
lion to this force, the quarter-deck guns of the largest
of the enemy's ships had been landed, and the heights
• were oeeikpied by about two hundred troops, with
, • their field pieces. Atter an action of an hour and
•an half, we succeeded in destroying the battery, the
.tna'er, and the three large vessels, all of which
blowup. They were deeply laden with ship.timbcrt
