the support of the 7th division; and, the earl of Dalhousie has reported most favourably of its conduct. Sir T. Graham particularly reports his sense of the assistance he received from col. Delancy, deputy-quartermaster-general; and from colonel Bouverie of the adjutant-general's department; and from the officers of his personal staff; and from col. Upton, assistant quarter-mastergeneral; and major Hope, assistantadjutant with the 1st division; and general Oswald reports the same of colonel Berkeley of the adjutantgeneral's department, and colonel Gomm, of the quarter-master-general's department. I am particularly indebted to sir T. Graham, and sir R. Hill, for the manner in which they have conducted the service intrusted to them since the commencement of the operations, which have ended in the battle of the 21st, and for their conduct in that battle; as likewise to marshal Beresford for the friendly advice and assistance which I have received from him upon all occasions during the late operations. I must not omit to mention likewise the conduct of general Giron, who commands the Gallician army, who made a forced march from Orduna, and was on the ground in readiness to support sir T. Graham. I have frequently been indebted, and have had occasion to call the attention of your lordship, to the conduct of the quarter-master-general, general Murray, who in the late operations, and in the battle of the 21st inst. has again given me the greatest assistance. I am likewise indebted much to lord Aylmer the deputy-adjutant-general, and to the officers of the adjutant and quarter-master-general's departments respectively; and to lord Fitzroy Somerset, colonel Campbell,

and the officers of my personal staff, and to sir R. Fletcher and the officers of the engineers. Colonel his serene highness the hereditary prince of Orange was in the field as my aid-de-camp, and conducted himself with his usual gallantry and intelligence. Mareschal del campo don Luis Wimpfen, and the inspector-general don T. O'Donoju, and the officers of the staff of the Spanish army, have invariably rendered me every assistance in their power in the course of these operations; and I avail myself of this opportunity of expressing my satisfaction at their conduct, as likewise with that of mareschal del campo don M. de Alava, and of brigadiergeneral don J. O'Lawlor, who have been so long and so usefully employed with me. The artillery was most judiciously placed by lieut.col. Dickson, and was well served, and the army is particularly indebted to that corps. The nature of the ground did not allow of the cavalry being generally engaged; but the general officers commanding the several brigades kept the troops under their command close to the infantry to support them, and they were most active in the pursuit of the enemy after they had been driven through Vittoria. I send this dispatch by my aid-de-camp capt. Freemantle, whom I beg leave to recommend to your lordship's protection: he will have the honour of layingat the feet of his royal highness the prince regent the colours of the 4th battalion of the 100th regiment, and marshal Jourdan's baton of a marshal of France, taken by the 87th regiment. I have the honour to be, &c. WELLINGTON.

[A return of the killed and wounded in the late operations, and of the ordnance and ammunition captured, follows.]

Irunzun, June 24. My lord, the departure of captain Freemantle having been delayed till this day, by the necessity of making up the returns, I have to report that we have continued to pursue the enemy, whose rear reached Pampeluna this day. We have done them as much injury as has been in our power, considering the state of the weather and of the roads; and this day the advanced guard, consisting of baron V. Alten's brigade, and the 1st and 3d battalions of the 95th regiment, and major Ross's troop of horse artil. lery, took from them the remaining gun they had. They have entered Pampeluna therefore with one how itzer only. General Clausel, who had under his command that part of the army of the North, and one division of the army of Portugal which was not in the action of the 21st, approached Vittoria on the 22d, when he heard of the action of the preceding day; and finding there the 6th division, which had just arrived under the command of general E. Pakenham, he retired upon la Guardia, and has since marched upon Tudela de Ebro. It is probable that the enemy will continue their retreat into France. I have detached general Giron with the Gallician army in pursuit of the convoy which moved from Vittoria on the morning of the 20th, which I hope he will overtake before it reaches Bayonne.

WELLINGTON.

[We regret that our limits do not allow us to give an account of all the victories obtained by lord Wellington.]

Extract of a dispatch from the marquis of Wellington, dated June 24.

I have the honour to inclose a report, which I have received from

gen. Copons, of a very gallant affair in Catalonia, on the 7th of May, by a brigade of Spanish troops under the command of col. Llander; and I have received a report (not official) stating, that on the 17th of May gen. Copons had defeated the enemy in the position of Concal, near El Abisbal.

(Translation.)

Most excellent sir, The God of armies favours the operations of that which I have the honour to command. The 2d brigade of the 2d division, under the command of col. Llander, has completely destroyed, on the 7th inst. a column composed of 1500 men, commanded by the marshal, who left Puycerda for the purpose of attacking col. Llander's flank, while he was engaged in the blockade of Olot: four officers and 290 men were made prisoners, 12 caissons, and more than 500 muskets, and the reduction of the enemy's number to some 300 men, are the result of this fortunate affair. Gen. Mathieu, with a corps of 6000 infantry, 300 cavalry, and five pieces of cannon, under generals Expert and Debans, marched to Tarragona, for the purpose of protecting a convoy. I followed with the 2d brigade of the 1st division, the 1st of the 2d, the battalion of the general, and 30 cavalry, making a total of 3200 men, On the return of gen. Mathieu from Barcelona I endeavoured to draw him to an advantageous position which I occupied at the village of Abisbal, where I offered him battle on the 17th. At half past seven in the morning the fire began, and soon became general along the whole line; the attack and movement of the enemy to turn my flank were unavailing. At half-past 12 he attacked with the greatest spirit; and being repulsed, and vigorously pursued, commenced

RUSSIA.

St. Petersburg, June 12. Yesterday the body of prince Ku. tusoff Smolensko arrived at the place appointed by his imperial majesty for its sepulchre, in the church of Our Lady of Casan. The procession left the convent of St. Sergius at eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The burgher-corps of St. Petersburg arrived at three o'clock, at the limits of the city, near to the river Tarakonowka, to receive the venerable remains, of which the capital was to be the depôt. The nobles and clergy, accompanied by the metropolitan, and the great civil and military authorities, followed on foot. The people drew the funeral car to the church-door. The coffin was placed in a vault under the dome. It was covered by the trophies of the French eagles and colours, accompanied by the Turkish trophies. A genius, with a laurel-crown in his hand, hovered in the air over the hero's corpse. The people went there to render their last homage to the man of their affections. The tomb is prepared under the picture which represents the deliverance of Moscow.

PRUSSIA.

A proclamation of the king of Prussia, dated the 5th ult. states, that a suspension of hostilities had been solicited by the enemy; and that the use which his majesty means to make of it, is only to afford time for the national efforts now put forth to obtain their full vigour, in order that his people may be enabled "to conquer their independence." We find, by another authentic do cument, that the governor of the country between the Vistula and the Russian frontier is actually obliged to calm the public indignation on account of the armistice, by an assurance, that it "will not lead to a peace, but to the renewal of a more powerful and energetic warfare."

The Prussian government has ordered a return to be made of all consecrated gold or silver vases rsed' in the churches of Berlin; in order, if circumstances should render ne cessary, to appropriate them towards defraying the expenses of the war. It is proposed, if these vases should be taken for the public service, to replace them with Prussian porcelain, the manufacture of which has been ruined by the introduction of French porcelain.

13. The court of common council having voted thanks to lord Wellington, his officers and army, for their skill and gallantry at Vittoria, resolv. ed that the bust of his lordship be placed in the council chamber: they also voted the freedom of the city, in gold boxes of 100 guineas value, to sir T. Graham and sir R. Hill. The court also voted the freedom and a sword to capt. Broke of the Shannon, with thanks to his officers and crew.

15. Dispatches have been received from lord Wellington, dated Zubieta,10th July.-Gen.Mina reports to

his lordship, that general Clausel had marched from. Saragossa towards Jaca. Though the enemy had withdrawn the whole of their right and left wings into France, still three divisions of the centre, under general Gazan, remained in the valley of Bastan, of which they seemed determined to keep possession, as it is very rich and full of strong positions. Upon the 4th, 5th, and 7th instant, they were successively dislodged from all their posts by two brigades of British and two of Portuguese infantry, under sir Rowland Hill, and were obliged to retreat into France. The loss of the allies has been only eight killed and 119 wounded. Among the latter is lieutenant Ball of the 34th regiment.

SIR J. MURRAY,

The following particulars have beens tated from authority, respecting the unfortunate affair on the coast of Catalonia.

War Department, July 13, 1813. By letters which have been received at this office, it is known that the allied troops commanded by sir John Murray, which had embarked at Alicant in the last days of May, were landed on the 3d of June near Salon, and immediately invested Tarragona. Lieutenantcolonel Prevost had heen previously detached with the 2d battalion of the 67th, and a part of Rolle's and of Dillon's regiments, to attack the fort of St. Philip upon the Coll de Balaguer. He was there joined by a brigade from the Catalan army; captain Adam commanded the squadron sent to co-operate with col. Prevost; and the great exertions of the troops and seamen employed upon this service under the direction of very able officers, over1813.

came the difficulties presented by the situation of the fort, and obliged the garrison to surrender on the morning of the 7th. Lieut. Delatre, of Dillon's regiment, and one Spanish officer, were killed, as were six soldiers, and 37 were wounded. In the mean time sir John Murray had commenced the siege of Tarragona; but having intelligence upon the 12th, that a strong body of French troops had advanced from the side of Barcelona towards Villa Franca and Vendrill, and likewise that marshal Suchet was upon his march from Valencia, sir John Murray resolved to raise the siege, and the troops were embarked immediately without any loss of them; but they were obliged to leave in the advanced batteries some pieces. of heavy ordnance, of which the carriages were burnt.

DENMARK.

A fire broke out last month at Soroe, in the Danish territory, which destroyed the building in which the academy assembled, a library consisting of 12,000 volumes, and all the mathematical and astronomical instruments, besides 22 houses. The church was the only building that escaped.

Norway is suffering under the ravages of famine. Count Knudt, the governor of that country, is said to have put an end to his existence from despondency, occasioned by his inability to relieve the distresses of the people whom he governed. The army of 30,000 men have likewise been reduced to such distress by the want of provi sions, that its officers made applica tion to the Swedish commander, Von Essen, who was upon the frontier with 16,000 men, for relief; which was refused.
