The ilforM3tion I receive from Gallicia in fonns m u s t Espoz and Mina has fought the enemy peae theto d of March, with much success, frustrat ing all this endeavours made by General Dorsenne Iva an bianitely superior force, to destroy the corps undei his cominand since which he has again iwx . e ,j el i in • an attack made on tht 9th April, s i s oist one of the enemy's convots, on which occa sion, it is said, be took a large sum of money." " LISBON. MAY 17. a Nat a word of news. The army has begun 0 more Soudt. No accounts have yet been re cacti hem General HILL." *Mar 9.--The Royal Highlanders, 1000 strong,, ebb lately arrived, are the admiration of every person here. An equally line body of men, and certainly as effective, are the 4th, or King's Regiment, 1000 stung also, are arrived from Ceuta. The sth and seth i ant2Oth regiments arc daily expected front I Wand, and more cavalry from England. The rein loseetnents already arrived will increase Lord Wet.. sauna 9000 men. The 77th regiment has come awn lately from the army with only 80 men, all the se being in hospitals or dead. This regiment came althorn England, within thesetwelve months, 900 1080 g. The Cameronians are recoverilig their health era they came here, and hope they will in a little Otte be able to return 'to their duty with the army. *Baclajos, Estremoz, and Elvas, have for some fee been crowded with about 5000 officers and men. operations have been performed, but the wended ate doing well, particularly General KEMPT.

Colonel BLAENEY, and some wheys are going to England, as well as Gene rals &arson!) and STEWART, the brother of Lord (AIitEREACIII." " Mat 10-- Of late we have received nothing impor. tint from our armies. Lord Wea.LiNGTON is, however, constantly on the alert, and keeps his troops in con stant action. We are informed that he intends mov log on towards Cadiz. General HILL is going in the direction of Almarez, probably to attack it. The trench in Spain are represented as being much dis iitisfied, and the soldiers desert very frequently. a The rumour of an embargo in America has piled the prices of grain and flour ; the latter article has been sold so high as twenty . mitres (or twenty. Awn dollars) per barrel, an almr e t unprecedented price, but within the last four day, we have had a great many arrivals from America, in conseqdence of which flour has fallen again very considerably." Our Nal continues in excellent health and spirits. Mach to the satisfaction of all ranks, the Ligtat Di vision, which was commanded by the late General CRAWFORD * has been given to General CIIA KLEE ALM, one the ablest Officers in the Peninsula, and highly popular with the army. The fourth di vision has been given to General ANsoN until Gene ral Cots goes out. Generals Horn, PRINGLE, and GOLDIE have joined • the army ; but several more General Officers are expected from England. The effects of the American embargo had already been felt in the market of Lisbon. The first arrival of the intelligence occasioned an immediate advance in the price of grain and flour : the latter, at one tome, as sold as high as 22 dollars per barrel ; but succession of fariher arrivals from America had %raja considerably reduced the price. itEtUaN OF tilt Vitkit FROM THE WEST INDIES. *ft have afratiihad occasion to stte, that there .vas every reason to believe that the French Revoca tion of the Berlin and Milan Decrees had been anti• dated for lotne nefarious purpose. This we think witl appear Undeniable, when we cgn prove that the French have been acting updn these Decrees ever since the commencement of the present year, as is too evident from the subjoined letter : PLYmoLnu, MAGI 24. •' Arrived this morning the ship Patent, of Lon don, Captain M‘MAsrens. She sailed from hence a short time since for Jamaica, but on the 17th inst. in lat. 30$ long. 14. she fell in with the enemy's squa•, dron, consisting of the Ariane, 44 guns Andromache 44 gun 4 and the Mameluck, of 16 guns, under the command of Commodore Flamm This squadron left Nantz, 9th January, and a few days after chased the SURVEILLANTB frigate into Corunna, since which they have been to tke West Indies, but did not touch at any of the islands. The object of the cruize ap pears to have been wholly plunder, in which they have unfortunately but too well succeeded, as will appear by the following List of Vessels captured, the greater part of them had valuable cargoes; the enemy either burnt or sunk all of them, after taking out the most valuable things on board : Fri. 21.—Generous Planter, of London, 'l' o a KU, for Madeira and Jamaica.

" The first vessel captured by the above squadron was the Nancy of Guernsey, Captain CHILDS, from the Brazils bound to Guernsey. They captured,: also, two other American ships, whose names I can., not learn., The ship Patent, who beings the above' news, was given up as a cartel, and has on board l about 150 of the crews of the above-named vessels. The Patent left the enemy's squadrofi on the 18th inst. in lat. 40. long. 14. Next day fell in with his 1 Majesty's ship ACHATES, and gave her intelligence. A few days after fell in with two frigates, the Sxlu- ', tt*uus and the ANDROMACHE; and since that with, the HELICON gun-brig.—So that if the enemy atH tempts tt: get into any of the Western Ports, it is to be hoped they be intercepted. Some of the Masters think they w ill proceed north about, and en deavour to get into the TL eel or Norway : others of the Masters think they w•ijl keep to the southward, to await a gale, and rup fur Bourdeaux, or some of the Western Ports." Letters to the 20th instant were yesterday received from France. The arrival of General LSFESVRE was no longer attempted to be kept a secret. That officer, after his disgraceful breach of parole, was landed at Boulogne by one of our own countrymen. Peukerntalussr.—A Mr. Pall undertook on Satur day, for a wager of 100 guineas, to go on foot from London to 13eaconsfield (24 miles) in three hour.-....- He performed 16 miles in two hours, when he began to flag, and was beat by time in the next mile.

Linked at Leeds, on Thursday evening, by three men, one of whom slightly wounded him with a sword in the thigh. • The Edinburgh Militia Faye their head-quarters at pre:lnt at Mansfield, in Nottinghamshire. A melancholy accident happened on Saturday se'imight, at Waterford. A biro, with volunteers from the Militia, was upset alongside the packet in tended for their conveyance to England ; when Staff Serjeant DALY, and two volunteers from the North Mar, regiment, were unfortunately drowned. The rem i nder of the crew, consisting of three soldiers and the mate of the vessel. were happily picked up. Ser jeAnt DALY has left a widow and three infant children to bewail his untimely fate. &The Marquis of HERTFORD gave a grand dinner yesterday, at his house in Manchester-square, to his Royal Highness the l!attica REGEwv, their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CUMBERLAND and CAM BRIDGE, and several other persons of distinction. The Countess of BRIDGEWATER last night gave a splendid rout, at her house in Grosvenor-square.— A mongst the company present were l'ika'r Royal Highneftes the Dukes of Cumberland and Cans bridge, the Dudley, of Montrose; the Mtachionessts of Sa lisbury and Dos nahire ; Countesses Craven, Liverpool, Cam den, nefton, Essex. and Cowper; Lady Heatteotr, Lady Perth, Lady E. Whitbread, &e. &e. Sunday the Earl of Monrrxnuatt, as he was step ping into his carriage in Stratford-place, suffered an apoplectic stroke. the celebrated Mr. Mama, one of the Annota tors of Shakespeare, died yesterday morning a few minutes after four o'clock. Mr. yesterday` died un married. He was the brother of Loid SUNDIRLIN and had he survived his Lordship, would have suc ceeded to the tide. It is stated; that the day before Mr. PattcavAt. met his death (Sunday), he enquired of his valet what engagements hehad for that day ? He answered, none. What not any one to dinner ?"—No. Then lam happy, for I shall have a pleasure I very seldom enjoy, of dining with my family alone."—lt so hap pened that all his children dined at home that day. In the evening he called for a Prayer-book, and read the service to his whole family. At the usual hour, Mrs. P. ordered the children to bed,•but he begged her to give them leave to stay up a little longer, as he so seldom had the enjoyment of their cbrnpany al together. When the time expired, he kissed them all, and gave them his blessing very remarkably. A Sunday passed in this manner must be remembered by his relict with satisfaction, though tinged with the severest sorrow. BnEAb.—This day there being noCuurt of Alder men, the LORD MAYOR after inspecting the returns ordered the present prices to remain. The Carlisle Journal states, that tumult and disorder ' at present prevailed in that neighbodrhood, to a greater extent than at any time since the disturbances I first broke out. It enumerates a variety of outrages. Even the asylum of the poor was not spared by these offenders. Yestetday se'nnight the Work-house of ' St. Cuthbert's parish was entered by one of the win dows, and a quantity of bacon and hams taken away. The Leeds Aferesr . f says, the arms-stealing system still prevails in the vicinity of Huddersfield. UNSUCCESSFUL. ATTEMPT .TO TAKE A LUDDITE...—. Tuesday se'nnight, a person suspected to belong to this fraternity, was pursued by the peace-officers near Staley-bridge. Being a collier, he naturally retreated to his under-ground hiding-place, sliding for that pur pose down the rope, hanging in the shaft of the pit.— A guard of upwards of 40 of the patrole, were mount ed at the mouth of the pit, which was kept up by.ne ceseary changes till the following Friday, determined to starve the besieged to surrender, cr confine him till death. On the night of Friday, however, a detach ment of General Ludd's army, consisting of more than 40 men, appeared, drove the besiegers from their post, gave a whistle, when the besieged ascend ed the rope, and escaped to his deliverers. Letters from Nottingham state the following alarm ing fact, viz. that no sooner has a person taken the oath of traitorous union in that County, than he re ceives that constant pecuniary supply which enables him to support himself and family without work. We have heard that the Author of the threatening letter, for whose discovery a thousand pounds were lately offered in the Gazelle, has come forward. We do not pretend to ascertain the motives which cnuld have induced the dealer in this hazardous and lazy correspondence to make " assurance double sure," j and save himself from all the trouble of evading Mi nisterial and Princely indignation. It has been said that the offer of £lOOO was too tempting for his love ' of privacy ' • and that he came for ward like the libeller on Sextes the sth, to receive the reward of his own discovery. We hope; however, the Pope': example will not be followed in the present instance. and that the offender will be let loose unmulcted either of his tongue or his fingers. He turns out to be the person who has so long persecuted the Duke of Nisaecitx by claims on his title ; and is, as sve conceive, obviously not a suitable object for any' species of punishment.— There is, however, a etore reasonable account of the detection. A few days since, shortly after the threat. ening letter was received at Carlton•house, this Mr. H. called at JEIFERY'S, the bookseller, in-Pall-mall, and begged of him to stop a letter, addressed to the PRINCE Reamer, and which was then in the General Post-Office box, in the window. He was; of course, told, that his request could not be complied with. Yesterday it occurred to Mr. Jessaitv to communicate this circumstance to Colonel Bi.oomster.no and the die -1 cevery followed.
