The PODARGUS sailed from Lisbon op the 13th, at which time the first division of Juwor's troops were at anchor off the Castle of Belem, and ready to sail ; SOT THEY HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO Dl9OO/LGE THEIS smurrnEn The British troops entered Lisbon on the 11th. On the 12th the BARFLZUR, Rear-Admiral TYLER, with the CONQUEROR, ALFRED, DONEGAL, HERCULE, ELI• gAsaru, and RUBY, sailed from Lisbon with the Rus sian fleet for Great Britain. One Russian sail of the line was left in the Tagus. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. According to private letters by the PODARGI7B, da ted the 15th instant, the first division ofJuNor's army had been embarked, and on the 14th were on the point of sailing, when the Portuguese having ordered a Commission of Inquiry to search the transports, pre vious to their sailing, an immense quantity of private property belonging to the merchants was found among the French soldiery ; in consequence of which, the British Commander, considering the Convention as broken, ordered the transports to be stopped and the plunder to be relanded. The following is one of the private letters alluded to: " Camp at Cam, near Lbbon, Sept. 10. _ _ Jutror had allowed his Generals and Officers to plunder Lisbon—in consequence of this permission, the Bishop's Palace, the Public Offices, and the Churches were exposed to the most open and bare- ; faced pillage, after the Convention had been signed With the British Commander. The Magistrates of Lisbon and the principal persons preferred a complaint to the Commander in Chief of the British Forces. About 8000 French had been already embarked— but Jusor was still in Lisbon.—The British Com mander instantly sent an order to him to cause every thing to be restored that had been taken.from the Portuguese previowly to the Capitulation, and down to yesterday. How astonished the French were, who thought they should have carried off every thing quietly, I leave you to judge--Jurinr and his Generals and Officers are in the greatest rage ; but it will avail them nothing. A Military Committee has been appointed, to which all the property plun dered, whether Portuguese or English, is to be de livered. The amount will, it is said, be immense— some say a million or two sterling." We have, in a former paper, mentioned that some of the letters by the last mail stated that Mr. Tumor- TON, our Minister at Stockholm, was preparing to set out to the Swedish Head Quarters. One of the letters written late in the day on which the last post left Stockholm, states, with confidence, that he was on the eve of departing to Aland, to confer with his Swedish Majesty_ on matters of great importance to Russia, Sweden, and England. A flag of truce, it is said, had arrived, with proposals of a pacific na ture, embracing these Powers, and, conditionally, Denmark and Prussia, should these latter be disposed to join in an attempt to emancipate the North of Eu rope from the influence of France. The Provisional Government of Spain seems at last to be formally recognized by our rulers. The accre dited agents from that Government were yesterday, for the first time, presented to His MAJESTY at the Levee. The following is the first official account from the South of Spain of the arrival of intelligence there from the Allied Forces in Portugal. How painfully has the gallant MORLA been before now undeceived in his rational expectations, and unsuspecting belief of what inght to have taken place before Lisbon : SORRINDEIR OF JUNOT'S ARMY. " Cadiz, August Ss, three o'clock. " ?y express 1 just receive, from the Supreme Junta of Seville, the agreeable intelligence that the French Army in Pertugal, after a conflict of lit hours with the combined forces, during which they bad lost in killed 3800 men, with General LABOIDL, bad capitulated the 21st instant. General JONOT had delivered up his sword to the Commander in Chief on the field of battle.— This is announced for the public satisfaction. (Signed) H Cadiz, Auguilt 29, I SO& " MORLA, " Captain-General of Andalusia.'• Mere certain, however, and less grateful intelli gence had reached the North of Spain, as we learn from the following extract of a letter received yester day morning from an Officer on board one of his Majesty's ships at Coruna w The particulars of the Coovention between Sir Haw DAL IT mrLa and Juno?, reached this place two days since, and were rece ive,' by themost marked disappointment by tbeSpaniards,who inveighed bitterly against. terms so contrary to the expected result i d a cam paign, in which the unconditional surrender of all thy Trench forms In Portugal was thought inevitable ; and the fer wort was and is so great, that I fear the unfavourable impression will soon be disseminated throughout the Spanish armies,• which will neither enhance tke military character of oar countrymen in the opinion of oar new Allies, or tend to promote the general ate." LEVEL • Yeeterday,_at twelve o'clock his Majesty arrived in town from Windsor, at the Queen's Palace, where he wa4 received by their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of You, Katn, Cnsissunor., and CUMSIRLAND. At two o'clock his Majesty held a private levee, which was attended by The Duke of Portland, Earl Bathurst, Earl Westmorland, Viscount Castlereagh, Lord Heathfield, Lord Somerville, Lord Mulgra've, Mr. Pereers4 Mr. Fawkner, Mr. Canning, and Mr. Villiers; also the Portuguese, America n, Swedish, and Sicilian Ambassadors. The following had the honour of being presented to his Majesty : The Bali of Porraattuirrost, on his promotion to be Lieu. tenant-Colonel of the 10th Regiment of Foot.

His Majesty afterwards held a Privy Council, and gave audience to the Duke of POtTLAND and the rest of the Cabinet Ministers. The Queen and Princesses yesterday honoured Lady CARDIGAN with a visit at her seat at Richmond, where they spent the chief part of the day., Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Karr, CAMRRIDOZ, and CUMBERLAND, after having attended at the Palace to receive his Majesty, set off to join her Majesty and the Princesses, at Richmond. Yesterday the Princess of WALLS gave a splendid dinner to several of the friends of Administration, at her house on Blackheath. The Duke of ComsaaLatro gave an elegant dinner yesterday to the officers of his regiment at Richmond. His Royal Highness slept last night at Kew. This day he intends goins . to Windsor, and to-morrow he will set off on a visit to the LORD CUANCZLLOR, at his seat, in Dorsetshire. Yesterday the Cabinet Ministers dined with his Grace the Duke of PORTLAND. Lord CAIITLZREAGH and a select party of friends dined yesterday with Lord and Lady HICRINBROKS, at their house. in Grafton-street. Yesterday the Swedish Ambassador and a select party of friends, dined with the Swedish Consul (Mr. GRILL) at his house in Mincing-lane. Most of the Russian Nobility who used to reside at St. Petersburgh, have, it is said, retired to Moscow, being quite disgusted with the influence which the French Ambassador had obtained over the mind of the Emperor. Thursday, the 15th ;nst. the Graved Committee of the Incorporated Trades of Dumfries elected JOHN Fancusos, Esq. to be their Deacon Convener, being the third time in succession that his fellow-citizens have thus conferred upon Mr. FERGUSSON this public testimony of the high sense they entertain of his worth an 4 ability to fill that respectable office. Yesterday JOSHUA JONATHAN SMITH, Esq. Alder man and Ironmonger, and CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUN TER, Esq. Alderman and Merchant-tailor, the Sheriffs Elect, attended by the Masters and Assistants of their respective Companies, proceeded in state to Guildhall, whither the Lord Mayor, the late Sheriffs, &c. had already repaired, and, after the usual ceremonies were gene through in private, went to the hustings, where .J. J. SMITH, and C. S. HUNTER, Esilrs. were sworn into the of fi ce of Sheriff of the City o f London for the ensuing year, and invested with the insignia of office. The Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, with the heads of the Ironmongers and Merchant-tailors' Companies, the City Officers ' &c. afterwards went to the New City of London Tavern, where they partook of an excellent dinner, given by Mr. Alderman Surns,-the Senior Sheriff. THE STATZ Caantacuemp-Both are hung without. perches, playing on double patent springs, supported! elegantly by serpents with dragons' heads, which con nect their hind and fore parts. That of Mr. Sheriff SMITH has a body of deep criikison, in Mosaic work, ornamented with oak leaves, relieved in gold. The border—a string of gold chaining, nipinirted in fes toons, by lions heads, and the bandean sichly and beautifully emblazoned bj the City Arm's alternately with those of Sweden. Portugal, and Spain, the nations now in amity- with Great Britain. On the doors and side pannels are the arms of the City and those of 1 the Ironmongers' Company, of which the Sheriff is a member, andin the centre the Sheriff's Family Arms. The lining is scarlet and lemon colour. The car riage a rich purple varnish, picked in with gold mouldings. The hanmser-cloth white, worked in the Spanish style, with crimson silk, and lined with a rich fancy livery lace. The harness is of black leather, richly embossed with elegant devices in silver.— The Liveries are deep purple, richly striped with broad gold lace, and the tout ensemble truly grand. —That of Mr. Sheriff HUNTER is a yellow body, co lvexed with a Mosaic net-work in gold. The bor . der is a splash ground of Spanish brown and gold, emblazoned with oak leaves, in the Etruscan stile.— The bandeau is richly' decorated with the arms of his Majesty, of the City of London, arid those of Spain, Portugal, and Sweden.

The liveries of their servants are nearly the same, blue and scarlet, profusely ornamented with very . rich gold lace, and with the addition, we observed, in Mr. Alderman HUNTER'S servants, of point-lace frills to their shirts, and gilt swords, according to the gran deur-of the antient costume. • THE ARMY. I By letters from Cork we learn, that the Expedicioo9 commanded by Sir Devw Basin sailed from that Harbour for Falmouth, on the morning of the 234 De.tarrann" Bart. of North Berwick, is, we leam, att the General, who is only a Knight. The Gene we believe, entered the army in the Royals, bu t never served with that old corps. Front being a Captai A the Ist Foot, he exchanged into the Foot Guard ; which at once made him a Lieuteraut•Colonel in tin army. In the Guards he remained ever after tin got a regiment. We understand, however, rh at h i saw service in the Guards, and was much esteem e d both as an officer and a gentleman.

The BRAUN, of 18 guns, which reached Falmouth , on Saturday, in 23 clays from Peniche, near Lisbon, I arrived yesterday afternoon at Portsmouth. The ' transports which she convoyed home, 33 in number. were those which carried out the troops under Sir Jolts MOORS. The French General Baum*. taken in the battle of the 21st, is among the French Officers. , who were sent prisoners to this country in the BRA wt. The news of the Convention had not transpired at Peniche when the BnAlts sailed. The following Medical Staff, all men eminent in their pfofession, arrived at Falmouth on Sunday, and were to embark immediately in the transports, No. 7, 9, 14, 26, 29, 30. Forbes.

His Royal Highness the Duke of YORK, we under stand, was summoned to attend the consultation of Ministers, upon the question of recalling Sir Haw DALRYMYLL Upon being informed of the subject of discussion, it is said his Royal Highness politely de clined to interfere.—He had a respect, he said. for the private character of that Officer, but as he had nothing to do, directly or indirectly, with his appoint ment to the command in Portugal, a measure of which he knew nothing, until it had actually taken place, , he could not now meddle in the business. The result, however, was, that orders were issued for Sir Haw DALRYMPLIef recall. Sir HARRY BURRARD is to be left in the command of the troops in Portugal—and Sir JOHN MOORE is to command those going to Spair. Sunday evening arrived at Falmouth 17 sail of transports, having on board the 43d, 59th, 76th, and 95th Regiments, under convoy of his Majesty's brigs GLousw and Foam's, from Harwich, to join the Expedition • w collecting there. The troops from Cork under Sir DAVID BAIRD, are also hourly ex pected. The fleet of transports from Lisbon, under his Majesty's brig BRAZEN, has proceeded for Ports mouth. The transports now assembled at Falmouth were originally taken up for a short period, which, of course, implies a near destination. But, in conse quence of a recent application from Government, the owners have agreed to extend their services to the Mediterranean. The Expedition under Sir awn, BAIRD is therefore understood to be intended for Italy. That fine body of men, the 10th Light Dragoons, on Saturday received their orders to hold themselves in readiness for immediate embarkation. Of the two brigades of cavalry going out, the 7th Light Dragoons will be the first embarked ; they are on the march to embark at Portsmouth : the 13th Light Dragoons, it is supposed, will embark at Ply. mouth. Excepting the Duke of CUMEERLAND'S Re giment, the 15th Dragoons, the 7th, which is Lord Norris, is the best dressed regiment in the service. The Royal York Rangers, commanded by Major HZEDZRSON, 1200 strong, sailed yesterday for the West Indies. They are to be stationed at Trinidad. When they go out, the 37th and another regiment will come home. neral, then Colonel Fox, went to the Continent wi t h the DUKE of YORK. as hie Quarter-blaster•Gene ez t About the end _of last war, and when a N ot , General, he was appointed to command at Cum , and it is not a little singular that G enera l LOOM was his second in command there.

However the subsequent disasters may be accounted for, we have heard that Sir %OF sheaved considers. ble address in his correspondence with Central c sou*. on the subject of the present business. We have-reason to believe that Sir ARTHUR W. LEILLZY was really in London when we first mentioned it in the STAR of' the 15th instant. He did not stay in Town above &lir hoitrs, but was sent back imam. diately to Portugal On Thursday, the 22d instant, their Royal High. nesses the Prince of W.... Las, and the Duke of Sassar i having previously accepted the Freedom of the•Bo rough of Banbury, did the Corporation the honour of receiving them at Wroxton Abbey, the seat of the Earl of GUILDFORD. His Grace the Archbishop of CANTIRBURT arrived at the Deanery in that city on Saturday evening, and on Sunday held an ordination at the Cathedral, when the following gentlemen were ordained Priests • • John Williamson, A.B. Clare kisU, Cambridge. • George Ruhleigh, A.B. Oriel College, Oxford. Bryant Burgess, A.B. Exeter QoUege, Oxford.
