By a vtssel which has arrived from Havre, we that it Is fully understood at Paris, that Bo ,ARTE is about to set out for the North of Europe, superintend in person a second Campaign against Russians. The arrangements previous and sub to the meeting of the Legislative, were all J vo have been so contrived as to enable BONA- , 'E to take the field unfettered by any anxiety of which a continuance of his reverse of fortune . ;lit bring on, relative to the stability of his throne. Maar is said to have finally quitted the military ice of France in disgust. The rum levies will be tly commanded by Officers from Spain ; and it lously given out by the creatures of BONA.. 'TE in Paris, that it will not be necessary to with_ any troops from the Peninsula. This cannot true, for veterans, and veterans only, can now be to make a static' in the field against the ins, and they are not to be procured but from in. Connected with the above, we have also a report, the fleet in the Scheldt was preparing to start, been stated, far a port of greater security, in of the rapid advance of the Russians. IV yesterday's Mail we received a variety of letters Spain and Portugal, the contents of which, ih not of that bustling quality which characterise periods of active warfare in the height of a cam `, are yet highly interesting. Though there are no accounts of the French hay quitting the Peninsula, there are strong demon ,dons of their intention to do so. At Salamanca, iladolid, Burgos, and Madrid, they are committing ible depredations, burning public as well as pri x buildings, and not now shewing any mercy to has been denominated the French party. Our tt-posts keep every where near them almost in con. , so as to have a dash at them whenever they" at. to set off. As Lord WELLINGTON has got the , clothed and in good health, and the horses up, was expected that he would open the campaign in end of February. The expectations of the inhabitants of Lisbon had , been raises to the highest pitch by the expected it of the Marquis, on his return from Cadiz. Trj• sal arches, illuminations, fetes, and every thing luld gratify the hero, and shew the utmost ad. . of his high character by the Portuguese .'on, were displayed on the occasion. The Prince of °karma, with the Marquis of WOR - Earl of Manus, Earl WALDEGRAVE, Lord ; MANNERS, Hon. Colonel Poxsorasy l Hon. Glevtuat and CATHCART; and many of the fish Nobility are at Oporto. His Serene High. was received by Sir N. TRANI', the Governor, royal honours, and he was every where treated Sovereign Prince. At the Theatre, when he ~ the audience stood ep, and C 6 tod save the was played by the orchestra. Oporto was with English and Portuguese Officers, and no ; could exceed the gaiety which reigned every . e —there were rounds of fetes, balls, concerts, dinners, and continued illuminations. We are extremely happy to hear of the very great 7..nt, which has of late taken place in the of Portugal. During the last campaign, ch carried the contending armies out of that toJury, and:enabled them to draw their supplies Spain, the whole of Portugal recovered itself in surprisini k degree. Nothing could more clearly the excellqp of the climate, and the extreme :Tay of the soil, than that a country, so desolated lad laid waste as Portugal has been, should recover Itself in one year. The ground, we are happy to hear, is every where tilled and the houses repaired, and they bare even begun to repair the roads and bridges. We have much pleasure in learning from an Officer, lho has just come over from Portugal, and who states the country to be in the improving condition we describe —that the generous contributions of this country are not yet exhausted—that he saw some of t he Committee of Gentlemen, who went round the country to ascertain the wants of the wretched inlia ,itants, distributing blankets, salt fish, the imple tents of husbandry, and enabling the inhabitants to % air tho se cottages to which the French ha d set fi re . t the same time that the utmost rancour con 'lties to shew itself between the Spanish and rortu detest the the Frinich, th atniq m 14611444 the tnglish charucterl tilitUr that the &kith character st . a r ,ncti'Aci iiiffit highly with the French, And that they 'embrittlikleetigelitiktunity of sshtttring ,:indness and attention to such English'as bitioing their prisoners. • Report says, that Lord WILLINOTON has received from the Cortes what they so long refused, the ap pointment of British Officers to tfie Spaniards, and a power to dismiss anm of their Generals who mis-con.J duct thetnielves: Indeed without this power, and unless the Spanish army be officered by us, we can, hope to do no good--their armies are of no use with out Officers—they area mere rabble ; and, unless we are prepared, Single handed, to drive 100,000 French out Of Spain, we may give up the contest.-:- But by means of this change, every thing mai be hoped for. This morning other Mails arrived from Cadiz and Gibraltar, which have brought our accounts down to a late date. Every thing looks well at present in the Peninsula, and it seems probable that the approaching campaign will be extremely active. Lord WELLING TON has carried all his proposed measures with the Cortes, and we may soon expect to bear that a strong and efficient force has been organised in Spain, which is all that is wanting for the expulsion of the . invaders. The private letters from the army state, that perfect order and discipline has been restored ; that the troops are in high condition ; and that they have all been put in high spirits by the expected improved state in which the Spaniards are to take the field : " CADIZ, JANUARY H. A letter from the intrusive Joseph to his brother Napoleon, has been intercepted, in which he says his affairs go on excellently, and that the Spaniards, now knowing their true interests, unite around his throne." U CADIZ, JANUARY 12. l g We are assured that the Allied Armies are about to commence offensive operations upon a gene ral combined plan." " CADIZ, JANUARY 16. " The Marquis of Wellington appears to have taken new and extraordinary dispositions. General Castanos appears to be about to leave Cadiz, and, in fine, every thing announces that the repose of De cember will be succeeded by an energy and activity, which may be expected to produce the best effects." " BAYLRN, JANUARY 17. " The enemy continue to •:tort graM and money, and commit their usual plunderings in La Mancha." 4, JAEN, JANUARY 19. " The head-quarters have arrived here. The ca valry have been reinforced by a squadron of Cah trava from the troops which were in Baylen. The squadron of Übrique has marched to Cordoba, to re new its cloathing." 44 VICH, JANUARY 6. We are assured, that the French have resolved to withdraw feoplo from Catalonia to reinforw the corps which they have in the frontier departments ;, it is added, that all the National Guards who were' in the Catalonian Army are marching towards the' North. With surprize we have learnt, that in this Pro. vince some persons are clamorous for the establish. ment of the Inquisition. Those who proposed it did not previously consult public opinion, which for a length of time has not diminished the odium it feels for so odious a tribunal." " ANDUJAR, JANUARY 20. ig The enemy have been surprized in Granatula by our cavalry and three companies, and had it not been for a treacherous Spaniard, not one of them would have escaped ; as it was, three officers and II horse► were taken." 6 , VILLANEUV.A DE LA SERENA, JAN. 16. Yesterday the French still remained in Orcago, in number 800 infantry, and 400 horse. The Junta of Toledo was ib Hurica del Duque. On the 1 2 th, the French garrisons of Talavera and Mile were to arrive at Toledo, and Souk's head-quarters were about to be established at Cuenca." " CARTHAGENA, JANUARY 5. I , The army under tEe comtnand of General Elio remains in the neighbourhood df .Mancha and Mur. cia, without being uneasy on account of provisions." " }SVGA, JANUARY 4. " The accounts we receive from Bayonne greatly gratify us ; our enemy has diminished the garrison of Puicerda." “ HEAD-QUARTERS, MURCIA, JAN. 18. g , Our cavalry has proceeded to Lorca and Cara vaca to refresh; leaving to observe the enemy two light corps, the Cacadores of Jaen, which watch Su chet, and Chalceo's corps on the side of Bonilla, without losing sight of them who are in lower Mancha. The troops with which Joseph appeared in Ocana, and arrived at Quintanar and Belmonte, do not ap pear to have advanced any further. The English in Alicant receive reinforcements ; lately 4000 infantry and 400 horse disembarked there." " .ALICANT, JANUARY 11. 44 Our accounts from Aragon are most flattering ; where the enemy is reduced to his fortified points, he is workirig upon the fortifications of Jaca, and collect ing stores in Saragossa, where he is uniting his forces. A detachment of 60 Spanish gens d'armes, which was marching there, abandoned the infamous cause which it followed, passed the Ebro by Vilella, taking the direction of Navarre ; in search of Mina.", nrirvas7 gsamaggirs A! , s• • •• me The folicrokt article is copied front a Wm[ tra patio brought by the Mail of this morning : morrrEvinzo, r. l. " The armistiee hettfieeti the Prince Regent of Pm.- algal and the Revolutionary Government of Buenos Ayres having been ratified, and the Portuguese troops marched back to the Brazil frontiers, the rebellious army crossed the Uraguay, and compelled our small . detachments to abandon Paysandre, Capella de Mer cedes, and even the port of Colonia. The strong party which the enemy had in the country, upon this grew bold, met at several points, and formed a few armed bodies, which fell upon the defenceless towns and villages, and plundered them as usual. " Thus it is that our Commander-in. Chief not only has not been able to prevent the laying waste of our fields, the only wealth of this province, but is himself shut up within the walls, with only one party of ob servation without ; which in the day tintes patroles as far as the Mequelate, (4 league from this) and at sight takes shelter in one of the houses, situated a little beyond the range of our cannon. The rebel advanced guard is at Canelonts, and the head quar ters at Mercides--one of their divisions is to come by Peronza, to watch the avenues of Curo-Largo, in case the Portuguese should again come to our assist ance, which is not improbable. The whole of the Buenos Ayres army may consist of from 8 to 9000 men, and of these better than one-half are without arms. Their out-posts have advanced to within half a league of this." " MONTE VIDEO, OCTOBER 27. 41 Lord Strangford has finished his great under taking : he has caused the Portuguese troops who came to assist us to leave us, obliging the Prince Re gent of Portugal to conclude a treaty with the Junta of Buenos Ares, which has been ratified, as we have seen in the Gazette of. those rebels of the 2d of this month. The reason given to silence our complaints is, that this was done to avoid the effusion of blood. If it had that for its object, why was not the freedom of Monte Video and its territory stipulated fer when the auxiliary troops which defended them were with drawn? By what has been done the effusion of blood has indeed been prevented, but it is the blood of the re bels attacked by the Portuguese, while it has caused purs to be poured forth in streams. Let the 4000 men that have been promised us once come; and all the difficulties of every kindmith which it has been in vain endeavoured to overcome our constancy, must disappear." While they may be expected, and while there remains in Montevideo a single man who can defend himself, all machinations against us are fruitless. We are accustomed to sufferings—we have an heroic and wise chief—we confide in the National Govern ment, and nothing can intimidate us. a From an article in the Gazette of Buenos Ayres, an idea may be formed of the political state of our negotiations with the Diglish Minister at the Court of Brazil. It is well known how much the worthy Brigadier Fleming laboured to reduce to order the Revolutionary Juntas of this continent." N. N. The ankle here alluded to is the letter from Lord Strangford, of the 24 October, 1812, which is already before thr. public. " SEVILLE, JAN. 24. Itesterday Generaleastano€ arrived in this place."

ESCAPE OF TWO FRENCH LINE OF BATTLESHIPS FROM EHE SCHELDT. A Telegraphic Dispatch was yesterday received by the Port Admiral of Yarmonth, stating the int. portant fact, that two Sail of the Line belonging to . the Scheldt Fleet had made their escupe, and that . the rest were preparing to move. We have no doubt ithat, if they continue for any length of time at sea s some of our squadrons will fall in with them.

BREAM—No alteration in the price this week: the quartern loaf, eighteen-pence-halfPerusy. COVENT•GARIDEN.-.-Last night the tragedy of Jame Shore was performed, for the purpose of introducing a • young Lady to the London hoards in. the character of Alicia. The part is not one which affords any great scope for the display of talents, but what the new performer had to do was done with considerable spirit. Her person is good, and her voice strong, but she has to learn to modulate it to the size of the The atre. On the whole, however, her reception WAS very favourable. The Jane Shore of Miss MARHIOT WWI very respectable, and she was warmly applauded, particularly in her dying scene. After the Tragedy, the Burletta 1 Pow Atka* was revived, and went off with considerable applause. The music is very fine, and several of the songs were sweetly sung. Sit.cLaia a was loudly encored in this air of 46A shepherd become, with my pipe and my crook," to the beautiful tune of Ellen a boon (or, as it 4 now called, Robin Adair). The general cast of the characters was very good. Miss B , LTON sung with considerable effect.
