---~•.. ~~~ GRADUAL EVACUATION OF SPAIN BY • . THE FRENCH TROOPS. Lisbon Papers, to the 21st of January, salved this morning. They announce the. arrival and departure of the Marquis of WaLuNcrrote. His Lordship's ,:sit to the Portwese Capital seems to hate been strictly one 'of business. Our Readers will perceive, by the following extracts from the Above papers, that preparations for leaving the-Peninsula continue en the part of the French Generals . : 66 LISBON, JANUARY 111. u We have Turnouts of movements, and intentions to move, on the part of the French; but they al* dis credited. Oa the 2d-or 3d the guerilla leader Sour+ nil brought to head-quarters a parcel of intercepted letters, which be took at Valdutelloros on the Douro. One of them was from Joseph to his wife, complain. jag of the want of, money one from Jourdan to Cal farelli, by which it appears that the French intend to form a large army early in the spring, by-uniting the four armies of Caffarelli, Joseph, d'Erlon, and Souks called the Armies of the North, Centre, Portugali and the South: A General Staff Is already appoin ted, of which ioutdan it the head. There is also an official. Report from the Commandant of Artillery, requiring 1400 bows from France, which with the - et that can be procured from indviduals in the army who have horses contrary to military regulations, will make an addition of 1800 horses to the artillery, and enable them to bring into the field 120 pieces of cannon. 41 These letters also say, Soult has given it as his opinion, that while the English are in possession of Portugal, and in sufficient force to advance into Spain, the French, from being compelled to keep together in bodies, cannot support themselves in the Peninsula. Should this opinion prove correct, the enemy must either yield to necessity acid retire to the North of the Ebro, or else, by one great effort endea vour (a thing which they cannot possibly accomplish) to drive the British Army from the Peninsula. This grand United Army is to be formed on the small river Adaja ;tu right on the Douro—its left extending to. wards the Guadarama mountains. The principal magazines are to be at Abrantes de Douro. 4 , Our Hero arrived oti - Seturdiy, and was received with the most extravagant demonstrations-of joy ; be was conducted to his residence at the Palace of Neussedades, where he gave a friendly dinner to Sir C. Stuart, Admiral Martin, Marshal Beresford, &c. He looked remarkably well. On Sunday his Lord• ship went in full dress to the Regency, at the Palace Of the Inquisition, where be invested Sir C. Stuart with the Order of the Bath, and dined at a truly royal antertaisinent.

A Gentleman has arrived in town from Leipsic, whowas in that city when BONAPARTI passed through it on his return to Paris. He states, that a great number of conscripts, mostly lads, had mgrched through Leipsic for the “ Grand Artny." English Newspapers, containing ateounts of the disasters of the French army, had been received at Leipsic, where they were read with the greatest avidity ; but the utmost precaution was obliged to be used to prevent the Police obtaining a knowledge of the circumstance, On his journey from Leipsic to Berlin, he passed 36,000 cohorts, which were proceeding to the Grand Army, and made a most military appearance. A French regiment had arrived at Berlin from Russia, which could only muster 90 men, though at the corn. mehcement of the campaign it was 1200 strong.

The Richard and the master were sent off to America • the rest, with my. self, were kept on board the Mars, which vessel con tinued to cruize off the Eastern end of Puerto Santo until the sth instant, when she bore away to intercept the fruit trade at the Western Islands, and on the 9th instant captuzed this vessel, with fruit, from St. Mi chael's to London, and gave her up, after plundering tit vessel, and taking out a great part of her cargo, to convey 32 of us to England. We left the Mars in chace of another sail, supposed froth the Western Islands, and I fear she will do considerable injury to that trade.

The Soucteost ONNERAL stated, that on the record this action appeared to be strictly for an assault - • as long as human nature is what it is, assaultt differ most essen t i a lly f rom each other. not an outrageous battery, but it was as ilggravated an thwault as had ever occurred. The plaintiff an underwriter. - The defendant an opulent monger in the City, and although, pethaps, r larly initiated in the Four-in-hand Club, habit of daily driving his four-in-hand, and , guilty of the most cruel and horrible outrage family of plaintiff. Here Mr. TOPPING contended, that the General ought not to remark upon any could not be tip subject of evidence. Lord Eturssoftouou said he should guard any thing irrevalent. The Sauceroa-Getstnaz. resumed, and , it was his intention to open the cause most and that be did not wish them to give damages _ what did not strictly belong to the case. Plaintiff and defendant had been near neighbours and acquaintances, haring their country houses other a few miles from town. On the 17' tember, plaintiff came out of his house, Pendant neat it, who damned him, and asked come out and he would thrash him, and on - coming out defendant struck htm ; but the General said it was not of this he complAl why should defendant use such opprobious, to plaintiff she would inform them. Plaintc Married to a widow, who was the Mother , - daughters by het former husband, one et thefts 15 years of age; Defendant Was a married One mornibg this young creature war missing the breakfast table ; on enquiry it was that she had not used her bed that distractfd parents applied in the greatest agony w their neighbours, to know if they knew any thing of her, but they Applied most particulArly to their near neighbour, and protecting friend—the present, dn., festiva l who denied all knowledge of her ; bet it was discovered, that at midnight she had been received 'by defendent, conteyod In his owa carriage ti c f s as t Won, and in a Need chaise from Kiftgston to Wand she was afterwards found, a ruined and undone in fant. This circumstance,- of course, had given rise to .the moat unpleasant occurrences between the patties, which led to the assault in question. The defendant bad also written an anonymous letter to the plaintiff, reflecting upon his family in the most scurrilous terms, representing his wife as an ineisare, and himself as a contented cuckotd--typefied by the representation of * pair of branching antlers. Under such circum. stances, no damages the• Jury could award would be a sufficient remuneration for such an injury. The facts of the assault being proved, two wit• ;sasses were called so prove the hand-writing of the defendant to the letter alluded to. One of them, however, did not appear, and the other could not form any opinion upon it. Mr. Toertiro, for the defendant, admitted the as. sank, but submitted that the aggravated circanse • stances alluded to in the speech of the Piainiiff's Counsel, not being adduced in evidence, mutt be aaid entirely out of the question. Lord gLLIINSOROUGH charged the Jury much to the same effect. They were only ei consider the facts which appeared in evidence before them, without re. ference to any other circumstances.
