LISBON, JANUARY 28. We have received the most satisfactory intelligence from the Northern provinces of Portugal. The inha bitants of these provn 4er s no sooner learnt that the French troops had entered Gallicia, than they took up arms with the utmost enthusiasm. Orders were im• mediately given to procure the necessary money for repairing the fortifications of Valencia and Chaves ; and we trust that should the enemy have the temerity to attack them, they will meet with new Saragossas in the Portuguese territory ; and although Oporto is al ready supplied frith all sorts of military stores, yet a yacht was this day sent thithcr, entirely ladeh with powder and balls to complete the armament in the above two provinces. Yesterday another vessel set sail for the same destination, and will this day be fol lowed by a third. The present armament of the pro ; vince of Be'ra is as follows : FL:slicers • • • - 30.975 Pitemen • • • • 39.1403 • Cavalry - - - - 118 The returns of the districts of Beira, Aveira, Cum bra, Pinhel, and Abrantes have nbt yet been received. The above return doei not include either the troops or the militia, but comprises only the inhabitants armed in consequence of the arrangements made by Govern ment. Lisbon is also arming with the utmost activity and zeal. The 16 legions, or 48 battalions, formed by its nnmerons inhabitants, arc daily exercising ; and 70 pieces of cannon have been taken from the arsenal, to be mounted ea the most important points ot defence. We tre , ;. that whenever the enemy may rnal:o his appear:.nce, he shall meet with the most vi vorons reslszasc.?. PRIVATE LFTTER.--I.ISBON, JAN. 29.

This intelligence had an instantaneonc effect in the money market, and occasioned a rise of one and a half per cent. BERLIN, JAN. :5. An order has been issued for the arrest of the Prus• %ian Couocll®r of War, Von Colin, in consequence of information which he gave to the French, during their occuration of the Prussian States, relative to the state of the public revenue, the bank, and maritime establishments, &c. and of which information the enemy made prejudicial use. General I. EON, formerly Governor of Magdeburgh, has been arrested, with several other Prussian Officers, on account of their conduct in the late war. FRANKFORT, JAN. 21. The division of Lezrand having non• passed the Rhine, the retreat of the French troops from Ger many is for the present at an end. Part of General Oudinot's army has been marched from Bayreuth into the Hanau country, and, it is probable, mly shortly return to France. STUTGARD, JAN. 40.

The ing is its substance : " The 42d, Seth, and 52d British regiment's W utterly destroyed in the battle of the 16th. Gt.11 , .!:.:1 MOOItE was killed charging at the head of his , and General BAtan wounded: he is reported to died on the 19th. The night after die battle of ti 16th, the British entered Corunna in the grcatm consternation and confusion ; out of W) piet - ts of can. non which had been landed, only one dozen were re embarked. The Frei cli kept possession of 60 pieces. Independently of the immense treasure the French had taken, a great quantity had been thrown from the precipices, which had been found by the peasant . Previously to, and in the battle of Corunna, two En;- lisle Generals had bee:. killed, and three wounded, among the latter was General CftAwroan. The French found in the port of Corunna seven En2,l4h vessels, three with horses, and four loaded with troops. They had taken from the English every thing which constitutes an army. 64 The English have gained nothing by the expedi. tion but the hatred of the Spaniards, and disgrace. 44 General FRANCiiESCI, after entering St. Jago, and taking possession of the English magazines, had pro. ceeded upon Vigo, where Ross ANA was with about 2,500 men, 'all whom he could rally, The division 'of MERI4 ET proceeded for Ferrol. The Governor Of Corunna took the oath of allegiance to King JOSEPII, and the people manifested great joy on being delivered from the English." Then follows the convention entered into between the Duke of DALMATIA% and General Dort ANTONIQ D'Aceveno, Governor of Corunna, dated the 17th of January, consisting of 13 articles ; the general ecm. plexion of which is mild and conciliatory toward: tie Civil and Military Powers, taking the oath of alle. giance W King Josrom, SPAIO. Last night Mr. Ht;:vrtn, the Messenger, arrived at Mr. CANNnta's office, with dispatches from Mr. FRERE, his Majesty's Ambassador to the Supreme Junta. Letters from Cadiz of the 21st ult. state, that tEi Spaniards were then making vigorous efferts tc in, crease and strengthen the works for the defence of that city. They had heard of several important victories obtained by the British army in the North of Spain and these unfounded rumours seem to have hAd.:: considerable effect in stimulating the peopk to fk:k to the national standard.—Can we be surprized U:rn that those who manage the Spanish affairs, slinei4 have also imposed upon their allies with falw ar.d exaggerated statements of the force of the patriot armies, and the vigorous resistance they rn: ght be expected to give to the common enemy. The only proper way to call forth the energies of a great IT* tion, is by placing before the people their real d: u gets. Those who deceive them under such circutn, stances are fools, and betray an absolute ignorance of the principle's of human action. When these letters came away a great part of the arsenal of Seville was removing to Cadiz, and pi epa• rations were making at Seville for 'the reception of the 10th British Regiment then on its way from Portugal. All the cannon of the lines of St. Roque had been removed into Gibraltar, for the purpose of being sent into Tortosa, io-catalonia. Some accounts scat? that Saragossa was closely b'fikaded by the French, but continued to hold out, and the 7.,llarit r ott had proved successful in several sorties lately madit by him from that renowned fortress. Other account; state the surrender of Saragossa upon terms. The Patriots had been successful in several actions in Catalonia ;• had advanced to the town of Figueras, and destroyed the French magazine at that placc. The corps which BoNArARTE states in one of his Bulletins to have been destroyed by the Duke de BEt.rxso, proves to have been the advanced guard et the Duke D'ISFANTADO's Army. In the aCiLr. which took place on that occasion about 3000 !Mr were made prisoners, and twenty pieces of ar01!,:-F taken by the enemy. The Duke D'INFANTADo retired to Albaciti, but his Army was co nciti;-::•.: very formidable. The report of General CASTANos having bc?r. 7 . to death is unfounded. So late as the ‘2Stli 111.. resided with several cther suspected Officers at: Convent of St. Jerome, near Seville, in a s t a te (:: AT rest, but no judgment had then been pronour •. 1 upon his case. Captain WHITTINCHADt was with the Duke dil I FANTADO, and his communications with Mr. and the Supreme Junta, were very frequent.
