THE STATESMAN.

LONDON:
StTUltt) tY, strrwasiza 5, 1812.

In a Second Edition yesterday, we had the pleasure
to announce the capture of Madrid by Marquis Wet,
LI NGTON, Which news was transmitted by a Telegraphic
Message from Plymouth, and about five o'clock,
Major BURGH arrived with the Official Discatches,con-
taining the particulars of this important event. He
alighted at Lord BATH URST'S Office, and in a short
time afterwards, the following letter was sent to the
LORD MAYOR :

" Downing-street, Sept. 4.

" Mir Loan,—l have the honour to inform your
Lordship, that Dispatches have been received from the
Martinis af-IrzitaiwioN, dated the 13th and 15th
ult. containing the intelligence of the Allied Army
having entered Madrid, after an inconsiderable re-
sistance, on the 12th ultimo, and-that the Retire
had surrendered on the 11th ult. In that place
there were found 189 pieces of cannon, 900 barrels
of powder, 20,000 stand of arms, and considerable
magazines of clothing, provisions, and ammunition.
66 I have the honour to be,
" BATIICRST."

" T.) the Right Ron. the LORD NiA YOR."

P. S. I hare the satisfaction of adding, that the
Officers and men who were wounded in the battle of
Salamanca are in the most favourable way."

An Extraordinary Gazette was published at a late
hour in the night, the contents of whichaare highly
gratifying, as the possession of Madrid was obtained
by a very trifling loss on our part, and would have
been considerably less but for the cowardice of the
Portuguese cavalry, near Nlajalalionda, who turned
their backs upon the enemy before the attack com-
menced, by which three of our guns were lost.—
On the 12th of August, Madrid was entered by the
English Army, and 2500 prisoners were taken,
with a large quantity of military stores.--
J OSEPH BON APARTE had previously retired, with the
Army of the Centre, by the road of Toledo and
Ai anjuez, and for what purpose he could have left a
garrison behind at Madrid, it is difficult to conjec-
tine. JOSEPU seems to have been wavering in his
miud what steps to pursue, his first movements be.
ing towards the North, when lie suddenly turns
about and pursues an opposite course, plundering
the cities as he passes through them. The follow-
ing passage in Lord WeLLINGTors's dispatch is too
expressive to pass without a comment :-46 It is 1
impossible (says his Lordship) to describe the joy
manifested by the inhabitants of Madrid upon our I
arrival." So far we participate in his Lordship's!
gratification, and sympathize with the feelings of the I:
inhabitants, in hope that their sufferings will soon I
have an end ;—but mark the leading features of the.
next sentence. " I hope," continues his Lordship,
(4 for hope attends us still') " that the prevalence
of the same sentiments of detestation of the French
yoke, and of a strong desire to secure the independence I
of their country, which first induced them to set the
example of resistance to the Usurper, will induce
them to make exert' •in the cause of their coun-
try,
which will he more' efticaciobs than those for-1
merly made." This expression of his Lordship's sen-
timents strongly corroborutes our former suspicions
respecting the want of a cordial energy in the Spa-
niards, conjointly with the British Army, to expel
their invaders.

\l'a have this morning recei►ed Lisbon Papers to
the 23d ult. and Cadiz to the 10th from which
the following are the most important extracts :

LISBON, Ara. 12.

It being convenient to preserve tlifte kingdoms in
the most perfect tranquillity, as long as the war
shall continue, which unfortunately has broken out
between Great Britain and the United States of Ame-
rica ; and as it will contribute greatly to this to pre.
'eat all disputes, which, jn such circumstances, fre-
quently arise, relative to the prizes made by the
ships of the belligerent powers, the PRINCE RE-
Gvcr, our Lord, has ordered, that the provisions
made in the Decree of the 30th of Aug. 1780, shall
be renewed, and the prizes which the frigates, ships
of war, and prhateers of the said nations shall have
taken one from the other, shall not be admitted into
the ports of these kingdoms, with exception only in
two cases, when the rights
.of nations render hospi-
tclity with a, declaration at the same
time, that they shall not sell or unload the prizes,
which they shall bring into said ports, nor remain
longer there than be necessary to avoid the danger
which threatens them, or obtain the succour of
which they stand in need. The Authorities to whom
it appertains to carry this Decree into execution,
will see that it Is carried into effect.

These papers also state, that Marshal Etzaz.sroen
continues in a Very favourable way, and is fast re-
covering from his wounds.

They talk of an intercepted letter from MAR-
MON? to Jos EPII, dated the 17th ult. announcing the
necessity of gi% ing battle, and the uncertainty of
success; awl saying, that should it prove unfavour-
able, Marshal SOULT will he responsible, in conse-
quence of his rash attempt to preserve the Andalu-
sian. The division which sailed from this port has
joiued the Prince of A NGLONA, in Tarifa. General
BALLASTEROS is in GAUCiII. WO are assured that
BERNADOTTE has requested 250 Spaniards for his
personal guard, and that they will be sent with the
utmost ltaste.—(Snare Paper.)

OPORTO, Ave. 45.

There is a report here, that two American frigates
(one of them, the President, have been taken and
carried into , This intelligence comes, via
Newfoundland, in 4l days.

We have inserted a Letter from G'neraT S vrteArtx
to the PRINCC REGENT, which, like the other pro. 1
ductions of this Gentleman, tends to shew that he
has either outwitted himself in deserting the French
army, or that he has been outwitted by our Govern-'
meat. He complains bitterly of the ill-treatment
that he has received from our Ministers, and we have
no doubt of his having been deceived by them ; but
it is high time they had discovered their error, in ac-
cepting offers of service from any foreign traitor or
adventurer that could tell them a plausible storN,andin-
sinuate themselves into the favour of Ministers. We
have heard of many instances in which large sums of
public money have been lavished upon some very
worthless characters, that came over to this country
under the, mark of communicating secret intelligence
to Government, which terminated in plots that pour-
frayed only the baseness of the mind that conceived
them. But General S titRAZIM declares, that he was
duly enrolled among the list of pensioners on the
Secret Service Money, and stales, that Mr. R.rus
communicated, from Ministers, the express conditions
--which was to allow him 1,8001. per annum, besides
perquisites, and w hich, on striking the balance of his de-
mand, left 60,0001. due to him from Government, after
! •
expunging nine-tenths of the value of his traitorous
communication. It appeals, however, that he will
no longer silently endure the cold-blooded neglect of
those who professed a warm attachment to him, when
Deering to betray his master, while he is in possession
of secrets worth knowing ; and he insists upon per-
mission being given Mtn to pay a visit to his old
colleague and friend Beawanorre by whom he ex-
pects• to be more politely treated. He complains
of the uncalled-for familiarity of the Row-street
Officers, who, it seems, paraded without orders,
Before his !edgings, in a drapery that his guards had
not been accustomed to appear in, which, as a
suecedaneum to the rejection of Ms Petition in Par-
liament, he conceived as having no other legitimate
object than a peing the consequence of their august su-
petiors. He likewise very emphatically appeals to his'
Royal Highness respecting the state of that budge of
lost innocence, his dress—some part of which, we may
conclude, might, without any violent process,
be converted into a legal lender. He avers,
evidently with some emotion, that the vile pro-
pools of Ministers, were not confined merely
to military traffic, but that they attempted (if we
may be allowed to translate his meaning) to commit'
a rape upon his feelings, by making him their pane-
gyrist 1 This was too much, be was not to be sub-
dued to such a state of degradation—he remained
firm to the last, and, like chastity In a brothel,
