A journal published hoe has the following anee, , , dete with regard to the Archduke Charles, which li r not generally known This Prince was born at Florence, on the sth September, 1771. As he had two brothers older than himself, his anguat parenbi destined him for the church. He would have had, in consequence, an electorate or a rich principality. A trifling circumstance occasioned his quitting this pur suit, t o follo w the crareer of arms. Joseph 11. being in Italy, in 1776, visited his brother Leopold, Grand Duke of Tuscany. To flatter the warlike spirit of the• Emperor, the play-things of. the young Princes realeired the addition of all the equipments of soldiers, which particularly delighted the Archduke Charles, .* , ll* was then five years old. The morning after the arriVat of the Emperor, his Grand master found the yotMg•Psinceat his uncle's door, with a sword by his 5414 shouldering his musket, and drawn up -with the body guards. to What do you there, my Prince,"' slicr tlie'Ciand-master t " I asaguarding my uncle," replied the Archduke, coolly, At this moment the Emperor Joseph came out of his chamber—he took hit heill.cw in his arms, and said to him-4 , Very well, my little friend, I cannot he better guarded than by my own relatives ; however, I will reward your zeal ; and, to make you one day a good Ge neral, I give you the regiment Charles ofLoraine l l which ie vacant at present."

His Majesty was received with enthusiasm by the tromps.

The manceuvres were performed with steadiness and precision. The (tletil and her Imperial Highness Madame, were resent at this i:,rand spectacle, placed in a small tent erected on one of the hillocks of the plain ; they there breAlasted with his Majesty.

W1L1.15. 1' We are unable to present our Readers with any official confirmation of thC report of Lord Wu.. Linares's iictory over the French army. Although we cannot give implicit exedit to the tumour of a victory to the extent claimed by the accounts by the way of Oporto, we are inclined to think that some threatening movement in advance has beep made by MARMONT, which may have brought ea a partial action between the advanced corps of the !simile armies. Our readers will recollect that we stated yesterday, upon the authority of some Offi. •ears who arrived from the Tagus by the Roartmus and 'Loren, that Lord Wccutiaroht hail retired behind the Coa, in consequence of the French hay- I jng succeeded in relieving Ciudad Rodrigo. We see no reason as yet to doubt the truth of this statement ; indeed the following letter from Falmouth seems to confirm the , belief that Manstoarr has es. sumed such a formidable posture a; to induce ; l ord We+Lucorott to take up a stronger position t 14 FALMOUTH, OCTOBER IL <a rrj vt d lam evening the you's, Lorry, and the Garger E.

All the troops iin the depot at Belem were ordered to the neighbour hood of Ciudad Rodrigo. MmtstoNr's force is said to be 80,000 men. The Princess Elizabeth packet was to sail two days after with mails for England." The following communication confirms the opinion which we have hazarded as above of an affair of ad. vapced posts having taken place : OPORTO. OCTOBER 1. 4. It is said and believed that a very severe skirmish between the adVanced posts of the two armies took i place on the 25th ult. in which we were at first re-I pulsed ; but by the coming up of the 9th and 21st Portuguese regiments, the enemy were obliged to re treat : and report goes further, that we retook some pieces of flying artillery which we had lost. A gene ral engagement was expected next day, or on the 27th—we therefore hourly expi-ct accounts.—The Militia here are all ready to mar4ll, should it be ne cessary." A Cadiz Mail an ived this mornhsg, brinping a mass of intelligence, from which we have made the following selections, relative to the recent operations of the Spanish armies CADIZ, SEPTEMBER 17. Intelligence has been received from Gen. Freyre; relative to the late successes of the 3d Army, which was accompanied by various other documents, and among them those from General O'Donnell, giving an account of the battle of Zujar; and from General Quadra, relating the circ umstances, and necessity of a r etreat. The total of the enemy's force against the, front and centre of our line, amounted to 10,000 in-I Pantry—their loss 2,200; and our less in Zujar more than 1,500 men, without including the missing, it not having been possible for General Quadra to coo. cert his operations with General O'Donnell. This last mentioned Qeneral assures us. that with two . , battalions more, he would have been victorious in Zujat: he fought with superior numbers, which, to. gether with the disadvantageous position of Pozobe- Icon. had determined the retreat of Gen. Quadra.
