AUG. 20 THE NATIONAL REGIST.. 1,011D011 2 SUNDAY, AUGUST 20, ISO). FOLITIC4L EUCNTS OP THE WEEK. We haw the s::Acerest pleasure in announcing to the Pub lic the particu:ars of the glorious ai,d important Victory obtained by our Army, under Sir ARTIIUR WeLLEscty, over the French, under JOSEPH BUOINIAPARTU, in person, assisted by Wudials JOURDAN and VICTOR, and General Sests-rts.m. It will be recollected by our Readers, that by the last dispatches from Sir ARTHUR WeLLESLRY, that after preparations had been made for attacking VICTOR on the 23d July, it was postponed at the desire of Corm*, and that Vic Ton profiting of this circumstance had ie treated on that uigut to Torrijos. The Combined Army was left at Talavera, frwn the of Sir ARTHUR to pursile it in consequence of wanting the means of trans pert, without which " he did not think it proper, and, indeed, he Could not continue his operations." The reach, not finding themselves pursued, naturally inferred a degree of weakness, want of cordiality, or want of confidence, in Allied Army ; and accordingly we fiad them ornployed, 4 41isi Ike WI tagooking dam JA ;906tatrating tki* whole force, for the purpose uf attaci,,itag the army from which, the precedine:ila., they had beeei retreatieg. Thair force, on the 26th, consisted of Y'iteroit's Corps, Sea ANIJ, the Garrison of Madrid, anA TOO of the body Guards of the Usurper Joseen, amonatieg to about .1.1,000 men.
