SALAMANCA, AUG. 10.—Copy of two Intercepted
letters from the Minister Urquijo to Asanza :
" LAVAGOS, JULY 25.—1 t was supposed the head-
quarters of the King our Lord would have been
established in Fonteveros, but they are fixed in this
place. It appears that this movement was ordered
in consequence of various dispatches received from
Blasco Sancho. The English army, driven back to
Salamanca, had taken positions upon the heights of
St. Cristovas, and was surrounded by that of the
Marshal Duke of Ragusa's, which passed the Tor-
mes by Alba de Toone'. On the 22d there was a
general battle, under the most favourable auspices.
The French artillery caused infinite damage to the
enemy, and General Mnciera had seized upon the
most formidable position of the Alied Army, when
the Duke of Ragusa was wounded, and carried out
of the battle. General Bonnet, to whom the cum.
mend devolved, experienced a similar fate. These
two events, and the perplexity occasioned for want
of directions, previous to' Another General taking a
command, deprived the French army of the honour
of that victory which it had a right to expect,—Al-
though the loss of the enemy was greater than that
of the French army, the latter passed the Tormes,
and again retired upon the Douro,
" If circumstances had retarded the passage of the
Tormes for wily two days, the French army of Por.
tugal would have been reinforced by the troops which
his. Majesty was conducting, and without doubt the
English army would have been entirely destroyed,
and all Spain at once liberated."
SECOND LETTEIt.
" SEGOVIA., JULY 27.—The King our Lord ar.
rived this evening in this city, in which his head-quar-
ters are established. The coming of his Majesty is
attribitted to dispatches received from the Duke of
Rapists, by one of his Aid-de.Camps, in order to
talk about a communication with the army of Portu-
gal. The English prisoners, without allowing for
desertion, calculated the loss or the Allies at 10,000

men."

MADRID, JULY 22.—1 n the Gazette of today,
we read the following article:---
" His Majesty set out from his capital to-day, to
place himself at the head of his army. Marshal Jour-
dan, Chief of the Staff, the Minister of War, and
Minister of State, accompanied his Majesty.—The
absence of his Majesty will be but for a short time."

To the Chief command of the Portuguese Army,
with which Geu. BERESFORD was already invested
the PRINCE REGENT of Portugal has lately superadded
an authority over every branch of the Government
immediately connected with the military service.
On Saturday letters were received from the French
coast, which mention, that the troops (many of them
invalids) which occupied the small camps at Boulogne
and its vicinity, had broken up and received a route
for Eftein.
Major-Generals GEORGE Earl of DALHOUSIE, and
the Honourable WILLIAM STEWART, are appointed
Lieutenant-Generals in the army serving in Spain and
Portugal. _ _

A Telegraphic Message, received yesterday after•
noon at the Admiralty, announced the arrival of the

Admiral Coczatynn is to proceed immediately to
Cadiz, as Commander-in-Chief of the ships on that
station, in the room of Admiral LEGGE.
Admiral TYLER is to have the command at the
Cape of Good Hope, in the room of Admiral STOP-
WORD.

The Portuguese cavalry, mentioned in the Marquis
of WELLINGTON'S dispatches es having been struck
with panic at Majalahondz, and fled before the ene-
my came up, were, strange as it may appear, part of
the same corps which behaved with such distinguished
valour at Salamanca!
