I" Field Of Baftie, close TO Salamanca, Ju-
fy 23.-Ihe French army, under the COM
mand of Marshal Marmont, was routed yes
terday afternoon by that of the allies, direct
ed b. his excellency Lord Viscount Wei
Ington, Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, in the
fields of Salamanca, upon the left of the
Tormes. close to Aripises, after an obstinate
battle of seven hours, in which infantry, ca
valry and artillery performed prodigies of
valor.
" The enemy were successfully dislodged
FROM all their advantageous positions, with
the loss of all the artillery which they had
placed iii them the loss which they have
sustained in arms. ammunition and baggage,
is immense that in men, up to this morning,
is from 10 to 10000, of which more than
1000 are prisoners. Some Eagles have also
heen taken. At night, Marmont commence
ed his retreat by Alba, and as he is very
closely pursued by the victorious troops. it
is expected he will suffer other losses in his
retreat.
Castle and all Spain will reap the fruits
OF this signal victory. and the .Castiiians. in
whose territory the-aiiied army is, will dis
| tinguish themselves in furnishing generously
all the aid wanted in the neighborhood of the
field of battle.

may that gratitude which is due to the ALI
ed army and its invincible and enlightened
Chief, be transmitted from generation to
generation.

the Colonel of the 1st regt. and among the
wounded, the Colonel OF the 1O1st, and some
others. The English have lost few men /;
the Portuguese rather more, and the loss of

One OF the consequences of the peace be-
tween this country and Russia is, as was to
be expected, the restoration of peace with
our ally, Spain. The Emperor Alexander,
we understand, has recognised ferdinand
the 9TH as king of Spain. He has also or
dered the immediate departure of FNench-
men from his territories. In this order are
included the subjects of the various mem
bers of the confederation of the Rhine.
