THE NATIONAL REGISTER. of that place. The following is the substance - of these papers. On the 26th ult. two days after Field-Marshal WILLINGTON'S last dispatch. from Irunzun, he was at Or cayen. Meanwhile, (en. GI RON, who had been dispatched by his Lordship to intercept the convoy which moved from Vittoria on the 200 nit. is said to have reached the French frontier; nay, according to some accounts, to have actually entered" France.—The cavalry under Conde De PENNE and Don JULIAN, are within a few leagues of Bayonne. The routed French army did not halt in Pamplona, but continued their retreat towards France. Pamplona, with a garrison of 1,900 men, is closely invested. Some accounts represent Lord WELLINGTON as hav ing marched to Jaca, in the direct road from Saragossa to France, to cut off SUCHET, who, is supposed, was attempt ing his escape by that road. An account from the Allied Army in the East of Spain. is dated from Reuss, in Catalonia, on 7th of June, and an nounces the surrender of Fort St. Felippe. near Balaguer, to two divisions of the British and Spanish army. This success ischaracterised as of great importance with a view to future operations. Other accounts in the Corunna Papers, though not official, add, that our army landed in- Vinaroz, though SUCRET .attempted to prevent them ; that Valencia has been evacuated, Tarragona taken, and Barcelona besieged. - - A letter from Castille mentions the surrender of O•Carrel. Since writing the above, the following important dis patches received last night from Lord WELLINGTON have reached us:— UT.'' Ii with a ship inferior in tonnage and metal, and a crew shorter by 110 men than that of his adversary. The official account of this chivalric action will be found in last night's Gazette. To it we shall refer our readers; .as we are confi dent they will long to know the most minute details of a triumph so honourable and so useful to our county, as re• placing in its antient footing, and in all its former glory, the decided superiority of our navy. We shall only add here that the battle was fought in consequence of a challenge sent by Capt. BROKE to Capt. LAWRENCE, late of the Ilor net. who had been promoted to the command of the Chesa peake for his action with the Peacock, of equal force, which -he took after killing her Captain, and almos' all our Officers. Our antagonist was, therefore, a tried and brave man, and so confident of victory that when he left Boston he ordered a sumptuous dinner for himself and crew, promising to re turn in two hours and a half, with the Shannon in tow. Yet notwithstanding all his gallantry, and the discipline and un doubted courage of his crew, after twelve minutes cloie fighting, his ship was boarded by Capt. BROKE in persona at the head of his men and carried in less than three minutes more. Capt. BROKE received a sabre wound on the head on the enemy's deck, as he was exerting himself to save . two Americans from the fury of his men; and Capt. LAWRENCE, died of his woundi at Halifax, and was buried with military pomp a few days after the action. Our loss was 24 killed, and 56 wounded; and that of the enemy 70 killed, and lob wounded. - WAR DEPARTMENT. WrWNINV-STKEET, JULY 10, 1813. A dispatch, of which the following is an extract, has been this day received at Earl Bathurst's Office, addressed to his Lordship by Yield:Marshal the Marquis of Wellington, dated Orcoyen, 26th June, 181 . 5. The enemy continued their retreat yesterday morning, from the neighbourhood of Pamplona, by the road of Roncevallas into France, and have been followed by our light troops. The tort of Pamplona has been invested this day. I have received a letter of the 2 1 4 d, from. Colonel Longa, stating, that he has taken six pieces of artillery, from a detachment of troops under the command of General Foy, on their retreat into France by the high road at Mondragon.

Ile nientions the assistoHce which he had received from Colonel Longa, and from two battolions of the army of Gallicia, which General 43 iron had left with him in his attack upon Tolosa. Sir John Matray had entirely landed in Catilonin on the 3d instant, and had taken possession of the Cul de Ralaguer on the 7th in which post were found- seventeen pieces of cannon. Some priloners were taken. CAPTURE OF THE CHESAPEME. At last the honour of the Bt itish flag-has been restored in all its brillancy. The " broken spell" k woven again, and notwithstanding the declamations of those who pretend that our sailors have lost their spit it and their loyalty, Bt itish heroism has once more flashed forth, with a degree of lustre which no former, triumph has surpassed, which no future exploits can transcend. The mass of glorious intelligence, which compels us to delay noticing more particularly the American PreSident's Speech till our next, would be rob bed of its brightest gem, sere. we to remain equally silent on the capture of the American frigate Chesapeake, on the memorable Ist ofJune, :nd the 4;11, rapidity, and courage WWI which it was effected, by Captain B nos t, of the Shannon, 111111111 ADVANCE OF THE SWEDES, AND REPORTED CAPTURE OF IIAMBUR.6II. The following letter was yesterday received by a mer• chant's house in the city. We can only answer for the re ceipt of the letter, and for the arrival of the ship at Hull. We had, however, been informed, that the Armistice bad been extended to the CROWN PitiNc c's Army. " HULL, 8111 JULY, AT NIGHT. I open my letter to imr,ounct that news has just arrived at Hull, by the Carlisle, Captain Warren, from the Mouth of the Eibe, dila BERN A DOTTE, at the head of his troops, and the Russians who lately joined him, after a sbarp and, as it is said, a very saNguinarir engagement, taken possession of Hamhurgh. vousr, with his Staff Officers, and a few others, were all that escaped to Harburg, in such vessels as they could find upon the Eli e. "'Capt. WAITS fuither states, that Bu 0 APA 11l L has quitted Dm den, and that the Allies are joined by the Austrians. suppose, ere this. that Capt. Agra has lauded a Messenger, who will be in town when you receive this." RUON APA RTE'S ILLNESS. It is stated in letters from Gottenburgh, that BUONA4 P ART E was dangerously ill of his former epileptic complaint, and that BERTHIER, his principal adviser inoall his enter prizes, was either dend, or on his death bed. The following article, extracted from The Pomeranian Gaulle, has been sunosed to give a countenance to this rumour, but from its date it is evidently at variance with the official statements (so far at least as regards BUONAP ARTE) in the Paris Pa. pens [FROM SAXONY.] " STRALSUND, JUNE V,4.—The most anxious curiosity has been excited by the arrival of a sick person, who for several days has been in the Royal Palace of Dresden. " On his approach to that capital, the carriage in which he was conve)ed moved very slowly, and was attended by 800 cavalry. The road without the town was laid with dung covered straw, mid from the gate of the city, all the streets through which the process sion paned were not only strewed with straw. but were again over. laid with cloth. The avenue to the Palace since this distinguished invalid became an inmate, has been closed by iron chains, upon botses, carriages, and whatever could occasion the least noise, At all hours of the day French physicians of the highest repute are hastening to the palace, and continue there for a conaiderable time.
