PARIS, MARCH SI. OFFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FROM THE ARMIES or SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. General Foy arrived at Paris the day before yester day, with letters from the Prince of Essling. He left the head-quarters in Portugal on the 15th inst.— The army - was in the best condition. There were hardly any sick. The soldiers were full of ardour. Marshal the Prince of Essling deemed it expedient to make a movement. He had pushed his right to the Ze7ere, and established his head-quarters at Pombal. Several corps of troops in the pay of England had been defeat.fd. Columns had penetrated Portugal in every di►ection, disarming the inhabitants and redu cing them to submission. Adjutant Commandant Avy has also arrived from • Badajuz, which he left on the 14th of March, dis patciied by the Duke of Dalmatia with the colours taken by the Marshal during the six weeks he has been in Estremadura. He is also the bearer of the capitulatiro of liadajoz. The capture of E dajoz and Olivenza, the action at Castillegos, and the battle rt" Gebora, are impor tant military events, which have turned to the confu sion of our enemies. Twenty thousand prisoners, colours, and several hundred pieces of cannon, are in Our power. On the sth of March > me important events took place before Cadiz. A division of 6000 English, and from 7 to 80..9 Spaniards, lauded about the end of February at Algesiras. ealumn, consisting of 14,000 men, intended to attack the Duke of Belluno in the rear, and to raise the siege of Cadiz. The plan was completely frustrated. The Duke of Belluno de feated the enemy, aid drove them into the Isle of Leon, taking three stands of colours, four pieces of cannon, and 760 men. He killed and wounded more than one-third of the English. General Sebastiani, who commands the 4th corps, consisting of 20,000 men, supposed that the enemy, who landed at Algesiras, was intended to attack his right, while a division from Murcia should march on his left. He detached a part of his army against this division. He did not learn what passed until the 7th. The division of Murcia fled at the sight of his sharp shooters. In the mein time, Balasteros advanced upon Seville, with the remains of his corps, which escaped from the battle of Castillegos, amounting to about 3000 men. He was met by General Dantean, who put him completely to the rout, and pursued him to a considerable distance. On the 10th, March the siege of Cadiz was resumed with fresh ardour. All these events have filled our friends in Andalusia j with admiration, and the enemy with dismay. THE. EVENIN G STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, APRIL 8. PRICE OF STOCKS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The WRANGLER gun brig arrived atYarmouth from the Baltic, yesterday morning, and landed an Officer with dispatches of a most agreeable nature. The Island of Anholt had been invaded by 3000 Danish troops, who were gallantly attacked by the small Bri tish garrison, and totally defeated with the loss of 600 prisoners. The Danish General, and his Aide-de- Camp, and upwards , of 100 rank and file were killed. Our loss is very trifling, having only two killed, and about 16 wounded. We have taken two of their gun_ boats and sunk another. The prisoners are already on board of transports, on their way to England. The following additional particulars on this gra tifying subject, are brought by the Anholt Mail re ceived this morning: SURRENDER OF BADAJOZ. Extract of a second Dispatch from Marshal the Duke of Dalmatia ------- _ to the Prince of Neufchatel, dated Badajos, March 12. Monseigneur—l have the honour to inform your Serene Highness that the city of Badajos has submit ted to the arms of his Majesty the Emperor and King. On the evening of the 10th the breach was rendered practicable, and the necessary dispositions for car rying it by assault having been made, the Duke of Treviso summoned the Governor, who, after many difficulties, at last listened to reason, and thus avoided a fresh effusion of human blood. In the course of the night the capitulation which I have the .honour to transmit to your Excellency was signed, and on the 11th the troops of his Majesty entered Badajos. The garrison marched out with military honours, grounded their arms on the glacis, and were marched as pri soners of war to France. I have the honour to send to your Excellency a list of the general and superior officers, and a numerical account of the subalterns and ; soldiers who have set out. Their number amounts to 1 7155, of whom 512 are officers, including a Lieute nant-General, two Field-Marshals, four Brigadiers, 15 Colonels, and 24 Lieutenant-Colonels, or Majors. Exclusive of these, there are in the town 1100 sick and wounded, and I have sent home 220 married people or children, who in the last six months have been torn :rom their families, and compelled to serve. We also picked up in the town 300 soldiers who had hid themselves. Thus the whole of the prisoners taken at Ba bins amounts to 9000 at least. We found its the fortress 170 pieces of cannon, mortars, and howitzers, of various calibres ; 80,000 pounds of powder, 340,000 cartridges, and a great deal of projc..ctiles, besides two sets of bridge apparatus el excellent condition. . In the course of the siege the garrison expended :.. - .0,000 pounds of powder, and two millions of car fridges. The soldiers picked up 8000 24-pound shot, and upwards of 600 shells, which were fired back I , co the fortress. There was no want of provisions. The enemy intended to convert Badajos into another , Saragossa. The greater part of the bastions and out-1 lets of the streets had entrenchments thrown up. But I e appears, even from the avowal of their l eaders, that being in ignorance as to the real point of attack, until the moment that the breaching battery was establish ed, they were incapable of resistance when the breach was rendered practicable. . Notwithstanding, the English General, Lord Wellington, did not cease to de,ire him from Lisbon, to hold out, and that.he would send him succours. ' it would appear from several letters which were intercepted, that such was his intention. Without dr"". o, e English General believed that he had fu1,... ,... • _ :.• 7 -: a o f tuv two Spa- " HELSINBURCH, MARCH 28. g , Yesterday morning the Danes made their long expected attack on the island of Anholt,,with from 8 I to 900 troops, who sailed from Aarhus the preceding i night in 30 gun-boats. The firing commenced at I half-past four, and continued till eight ; recommenced] faintly at eleven, continued about an hour, was re-1 sumed in the afternoon, and ceased before evening ; ' Ow fire from the garrison was very destruotive ; the Danes fell ten and twelve at a time ; they made good their landing, but either had no field artillery or could not drag it • along the sand. The result is not posi tively known, but a person is said to have arrived here who left the island after the business was over, and states that the Danes were totally defeated, that 250 were killed or wounded, and that the remainder I surrendered. All the gun-boats, two excepted, were taken or destroyed." _ _ The Officer who brought the above accounts, was Lieutenant H. L. RAKER. He arrived in Town at seven this morning, with dispatches from Captain MORRIS, Governor of Anholt. Although the gar rison consisted of 350 men only, they took nearly 500 prisoners t About 30 of the British were wounded. None of our shipping had reached Anholt when the • Officer came away. .!

The Frenth were vanquished, Sooof whom were killed, and 200 made prisoners. When the Princess Charlotte came away it was known that, besides the cannon found in Santarem, MASSENA had left many more buried under the ruins of the houses there. The bones of horses and mules were found in heaps, with their hides, some fresh taken off, in Santarem. While the state of the French army is deplorable, Lord WELLtsfaTom was heard to declare that the Br itish line was the finest he ever saw : that it was more than sufficient to meet MASSENA'S whole army, if he dared to risk a battle, without the divisions of BERESFORD and TRANT, which were sent off in different directions on other service. A Portuguese frigate with a great number of re spectable families that had embarked and sailed for England, had put back by contrary winds, and they disembarked again at Lisbon, where all were in high spirits. Wehave received French Papers to the Ist instani They mention both the battle of Barrosa and the re. treat of MasseNA—and the way in which these events are announced gives a happy specimen of the blessings of a restrained press. General GRAHAM, they state, had 6000 British and 8000 Spaniards ettgaged ; but he was defeated with the loss of some pieces of can non and 760 prisoners. MASSANA'S movement was only for the purpose of taking up a position near Pombal ! Whence we know he was driven on the 11th; and pursued for ten days after. Two Anholt mails arrived this morning, bringing, as usual, a quantity of Continental intelligence, but, with the exception of the account of the attack upon Anholt, it is not of an important description. An Imperial Decree has been published at Hamburgh, calling on the inhabitants in that quarter to deliver up whatever arms and ammunition they may have in their possession, under severe penalties. The allegi ance of these new subjects of the NAPOLEON dynasty is no doubt suspected. The BLOODHOUND gun brig sailed from Plymouth on Friday for Lisbon, with six transports under her convoy, having Captain RAINSFORD'S company of ar tillery,'and a quantity of stores on board for the Bri tish army. The 3d battalion of the Ist Regiment of Guards, 600 men, which marched from Portman-street Bar racks on Tuesday last, embarked yesterday on board the Mermaid, the Hon. Captain PiRCY ; and .the Gorgon, Captain Micsfax, and sailed immediately with a fair wind for Cadiz. . We understand that the loan will be at least nineteen Millions.

Yesterday the following Bulletin was :hewn at St{ James's Palace:— 4 ‘ WINDSOR CASTLE, APRIL (7; 41 His MAJESTY continues to go on favourably."-- (Signed by the five Physicians.) Lord ELDON and Lord ELLEN/IC/ROUGH waited on the PRINCE REGENT yesterday morning betw.J.7tr eight and nine, to represent to him the state of his Mases- . Ti's health, and to communicate the Declaration of . the QUEEN'S Council previous tohis Royal Highnesi's interview with his Royal Father. The PRINCE set off at ten o'clock to Windsor. WINDSOR, APRIL 6.—This being the day appointed for 'the QUEEN to hold a Council, under the Regency Act, to examine the King's Physicians u7son oath, to ascertain his state, (for the purpose of reporting it to the Lord President), the Archbishops of CANTERBUR Y and YORK, the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls WINCIIELsEA and AYLSFORD, Lord ELLENBOROUGH, and the MAs• TER of the ROLLS, being the whole of the Members of 'her MAJESTY'S Council, except the Duke of MoNmosE, who was prevented from attending by a violent fit of the gout, met at Windsor. In a short time after, they proceeded to hold a Council with her MAJESTY. They were ushered into her presence by Earl MOW.. TON, her Majesty's Chamberlain. They then pro ceeded to examine the Doctors upon oath—and ley did this, as we understand, with the most scruptr- , lons arention. , They were not content with the testimony of the Physicians, but also examined the Pages who are in attendance dpon the King when the Phycisians are absent. The Law Lords were parti- cularly earnest in their examination of all the atten dants, and pains had been fairly and honourably taker) by all the Members of the Council to inferns themselves of the real state of the King's mind, before and up to the moment when they should be called upon to make their solemn declaration. The unanimous report of the Physicians was, that his MAJESTY'S health was better than at the period of passing the Regency Act ; and they still entertained hopes of his ultimate recovery; yet they did nit consi: der him to be at present in a fit state to resume the exercise of the regal authority. The declaration of the Queen's Council is drawn up, we understaka, with zreit care, and is in sub. stance, That though there is an expectation, from the report of the Ph ysicians of his MAJESTY'S Ui! irmit e reco. very, he is not now in a state to assume the functions of executive Government."
