A Coranna Mail arrived yesterday with Papers to the 7th inst. Notwithstanding the general anxiety to hear of Lord Wellington's further successes, we are still left in the dark res;;ecting his operations since the 25th nit the date of his dispatches, when he was at Or cam. Tt now appct s, that part, if not the whole of the French Army, finding they were anticipated by the way of iron, have made a lateral movement along the bare of the Pyrenees towards Catalonia, probably to try to rejoin Clatizel's corps which has reached Sarragossa and the other troops in :Arragon, and either secure a retreat for Suchet from Valencia, or with. his aFsistance endeavour to maintain themselves in the eastern and stronzest part of Spain. 1n this we trust they will he dis appointed by the activity and superior genius of our Com mander,. and that if they are able to collect all their remain irg force together, that it will only be to afford re: another triumph as brilliant and decisive as the victory of Vitt(); ia. Until we receive Lord Wellington's statement of the loss of the enemy in that battle, all other accounts must be con • sidered as Tittle more than surmises. According to these papers, of which we have given the most interesting articles, it amounts to no less than 5,000 killed, and 13,000 prisoners. FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers received on Wednef.day last, have brought us the Ftench account of Sir JOHN Mutt:; AY'S I failure. before Tanagona., which flatly contradicts, in some important points, the former article, which represented our army as flying to their ships after a sanguinary action, in which we had lost between 3 and 4,000 killed and WOU tided. instead of such a brilliant victmty, we are now told with much boasting, that SUCII ET ,having received intelligence that the English expedition, consisting of 180 sail, was in sight of.Tarragnna, • he resolved to counteract its operations. accordingly proceeded by forced marches for the scene of action, but had not advanced ten leagues from Va lencia, when he was apprised of the surrender of the fort of St. Philippe. in the col de Balaguer. On the 10th his van reached Tortosa, after defeating some English dragoons. The next day the whole of his force had arrived there ; and on the 12th, they pushed forward tOr Tarragon .% The captured fort, however, lyicg in the direct line between these two places, he ;as OhniZed to make e. dctortr, and, on the 13th, he was iu sight of the garrison of Tarragrina. In the mean time, another French for• e advanced from Barcelona, and the resistance of the place, and the march of these two columns, says Sug frightened the enemy, and obliged Idm precipitately to raise the siege, and.re-embark the vea ter part of his troons, ab2ndonitw, under the place 27 pieces of artillery, and an immense number r.f bomb:;. but lets, S:c all of which have been conveyed into Tarragona. On r the 13th, SUCH ET advanced to reconnoitre the fort of St. Fbilippe or Balaguer, defended by 'the English both by sea and land, and 1:e boasts Mat ot.ir dragoons were roughly handled by his cavalry, and that his sth light infantry re- Pulsed five English battalions. Some slight skirmishing suc ceeded on the two folloiving days, on latter of Which 'be • 3TTX is. learned from deserters that the Alicant army, either covered by the fort of Balaguer, or embarked, were out of reach of any attempt on the part of a land army. The expedition remained at anchor off Balaguer on the 21st, but SUCH ET states, that he learned on the preceding day that the Eng lish had resolved to blow up the fort ; yet he does not state whether or not that determination was carried into effect. On the 23th, he returned to Valencia. In the night be tween tbe 20th and 21st, the expedMon quitted the coast of Catalonia; and Suc:IET, being apprised that it was de stired to make a descent in rear at Castellan,. and cut him off from Vrtlencia, measuied back his steps to that city. On !he departure Lf the expedition Northward, it is said five English transpote :. were lost; and, in the ab sence of ST:CHET on the ce-Tedition, there were several af fairs between the t'.paniard...t and the French trctops that co. vered his rear, in nhieh the former ate said to have been uniformly defeated. The kss of the Allies in all these ac tions is estimated at !Coo killed and wounded, with the cannon, ammunitioe, and s'ores, abandoned at Tarra4ona. As " out of evil good sometinte , ; arises," so it is likely this unsuccessful expedition of Sir Joilti Mear: AV . will have the effect of detaining: Suess t.T so I in the south of Spain, as to citable she Marquis of WELLINGTON effectually to cut oil his retreat by the Pyrenees. The French Papl , rs have hitherto preserved a perfect silence on the battle of Vittoria. Clause! leached Saragossa, on the Ist instant, with tie four divisions under his com mand, called the Army of the North. No mention is made of the expected Congress for peace, nor any notice taken of any preparations for negociations, except that Count Metter nich, the head of the Austrian Cabinet, has . frequent con ferences with the French Secretary of State, Maret. The Emperor Alexander and the King of Prussia had returned to Sties a, and the Emperor of Austria to Gitsehen. It does not arpear that any interview had taken place betweeen the &lied Sovereigns and the Emperor Francis. Eugene Beau harnois had set out from Milan for the army on the Adige. The wounded at Dresden had been sent into tie rear, End Augcreau was active!y employed in completing the Bavarian Army of Reserve. Strong reinforcements are repress nted as marching to join the Ft ench army, and there is no doubt that 13.unapat te is straining every net ye to bring re inforce ments into the field, and to renew the campaign, if the armis tice be not prolonged on a larger scale than before. It was yesterday reported that Government had information of the re-!anding of the expedition under Sir JOHN Alutat.kv, in Valentia ; hot at what precise point, or with what view, we have not twin able to ascertain. Tuesdnv, dispat6hes were received at the War Office, bringimz intelligence from the Arun' commanded by Sic JonN MURRAY, do , A to the I 2 t or May, which explains the affair alluded to in :he .Imyrnal de Pdris, received last week, which s%ttcd, that the troops under sir JOHN had been defeated near Tarragona, with the loss of several pie ces of cannon, and f, cm ;3000 to 4tl ;o men. The ench account was grossly exaggeralcd. The A n:.;lo-Sicii;an army accomplished one of its objects, the taking of Fort St. Philippe which surrendered on the 7th of 111,1 v, as a prelimna' y step to besieging Tarragona; but as a large body of rrench we•c un its march to telievc the place, Sir JonN MUM; AV &Tined it prudent to raise the .
