London, Monday Evening, August 23. MODI- Surrender of the Foit of Zara- g'oza. ADVANCE OF LORD W. BENTINCK. DISPATCHES were received last night from the Marquis of Wellington, dated Lezaca, the lltli instant, and the substance of them was immediately communicated in the following Bulletin :— BULLETIN. War Department, 22d Aug. 1813. Dispatches have been received this even- ing from the Marquis of Wellington, dated Lezaca, llth of August. Nothing of consequence had occurred in that neighbourhood since the date of the last dispatches.. The Fort of Zaragoza surrendered on the 30ih of July to General Miua. Above 500 prisoners, 47 pieces of cannon, and a vast" quantity of ammunition, arms, and clothing, were taken in this place- Lord William Bentick was near Tarragona upon the 1st of August." The Bulletin is a sufficient refutation of the fllmOllrs pllt fourth yesterday, that Souit had again advanced, and had resumed possession of the Pass of Bern, willi the heights of Si. Barbara, in his previous dispatch from Le- zaca, dated on the 4ih, Lord Wellington ill. formed us, that there is now no enemy in the field within this part of Ihe Spanish fron- tier." In his present dispatch he states, that nothing of consequence had occurred in that neighbourhood since the dale of tllslast dis- patches." Fampluna and SI. Sebastian still held out at the date of these dispatches. But we believe a fresh supply of shot had arrived, and the fire was about to be opened again upon the latter fortress. Pampluna is understood to be much straitened for provisions. The surrender of the fort of Zarragoza not only does credit to the skill and activity of General Mina, but is an event of considerable importance. It commanrJccl the city, and was one of the enemy's depots for arnls and cloalhiog. Lord Win. B^ntinck's movements seem to have been rapid and uninterrupted. On the 21st he was at Binaros, on the South of the Ebro. On the 25th we understand that he crossed the Ebro, near Tortosa, with a force which private letters rate as high as 50,000 British and Spaniards The number is exag- gerated. Taking the road thaileads from Tor- tosa to Tarragona, he reached the neighbour hood of the latter place on the 1st. inst. It is added, that the enemy had blown up the fort, and were about to destroy Lerida on the Segre, about 100 miles west of Barcelona and Mequinenza, between the Segre and the Ebro, about 60 milell S. E. of Zaragoza, in both of which places they had garrisons. Suchet left behind him in his retreat a garrison of 4000 men at Tortosa, which the Duke del Parque invested on the 25th ult. We understand that Lord Wellington does not make any mention of the route taken by Suchet, but we believe he fell back on Barce- Ilona-Whether with the intention of making a stand there, or proceeding through that city I' to Gerona and the .frontiers, we know not. But the line he has taken, so remote from I Soult, prevents him from being of any service to the latter, at least for some time. Several officers have come over in the Spe- culator, which brought his dispatches, one of whom is the bearer of Joseph's sword. It is, according to report, of the most elegant de scription, and is intended to be to the Prince Regent. If was found in Joe's car riage, when he ran away at the battle of V11 toria. A Got.teiil)tjr,Ii M:iil arrived last night.. It has brought no positive intelligence relative to the armistice. Some General Orders pub- lished by the Crown Prince, direct the Officers to improve the discipline of their men in such a mallller as to enahle them 10 take the ííeld at the shortest notice. No inferences however, either for or agaiusllhe rcnewal of the Armis- tice can tie drawn from these Orders. They are such as would naturally be issued, even if a renewal of the Armistice were cert.iin. IWMMMBfflKWMiarUSJBMHMMMMTOSeriBaaBHiMdMaiaillMIMraarasigBi

Lord Whitworlh and suite passed through this City yesterday morning, on their rotile to Dublin. The sea-balhiug resorts in Wales have this season been full of company.

A melancholy accident occurred on nesday evening, at MiUord ? as a young man who arrived there a passenger in a vessel bound from Bristol to Dubiin, was assisting a gentleman in taking a green bag from the vessel, and which contained a loaded pistol, be, by accident let the bag fail to the bottom of the boat, in consequence of which the pistol went off and discharged its contents in the young man's arm, who has suffered amplia- tion above Hie leli eibow.

They are likely to do well. On Monday the Earl of Coventry, with his accustomed hospitality, entertained the Mayor and Corporation of Worcester, with a splen- did dinner at Croome. His Lordship's coach and set of horses arrived soon after eleven o'clock in this city at about half past one the party readied Croome, when, having par taken ol refreshment, a most interesting cere iiiony followed, in the presentation of the freedom ol {.tie City to the gallant Captain Carden, by the Earl of Coventry, at the head of the Body Corporate, who had previously I voted it to him at a Chamber Meeting. Upon this occasion the Noble Earl addressed Capt Carden in the following words:—" Captain Garden — 1 feel proud to have the honour of presenting the Freedom of the ancient and loyal city of Worcesler, conferred on you b\ this respectable assembly, in testimony of lu high sense they cnierlain of the sig-nal aBO meritorious servires so eminenlly and re peatedly displayed in the defence of your Kill- and Country; and more particularly for the gallant and memorable action in'defence ol his Majesty's ship Macedonian, against so su perior aud overwhelming a force. The sen fence of the court-martial on this occasion has afforded universalsatislaction, aud I doubt not that an early opportunity will be afforded you of adding Iresh lustre to the renown al ready acquired by the exercise of those pro fessioual talents and valour hitherto so con- spicuous, and of which I have this day the happiness to congratulate you." To (his ad dress the following spitited answer was re turned: Nly Loi-(]-No feeliti, can exceed the high estimation in which I hold this at- tention of your Lordship and the honourable body present. This is the happiest hour of my life; this is the result of fighting the battles ora grateful nation, 1 feel proud and thank- ful for the honors you have conferred on me, and as I never can deceive my country, so you cannot be deceived in me; honored by the patronage of one of the most disllJlIgnished Noblemen, honored by the high enlogium o one of the most enlightened bodies of m* countrymen, I feel all that animated pride, resulting from thehigh approbation of your Lordship aud this honorable Corporation."— Lord Deerhursllhaiikedthe Body Corporate for their discrimination of true and deserving me rit winch had beeii so conspicuously evinced this day, in the presentation of the freedom of the ancient aodloyal cily of Worcester to his gallant friend Capt. Carden. He had from his iirslf career in the Navy disllllgllished him self; he had III his last action main ained the hOllour and renown of the British Flag. His gratitude kept pace with his courage, and those nerves which in the heat of action hao oeverbeen unstrung, ihat tongue which had never faitered but in giving the last command :n the Macedonian,hadtoday been paralyzt. ;11 the feelings of gratitude towards so distin guished an assembly of bis <"ouutrymen.

Captain Carden, we understand, is first cousin to Mrs Hampton, ot Henllys, in the ■ounty of Auglesea, and whose second son was midshipman on board the Macedonian, iu the late severe conflict. «»>m
