' The Commandant of the rata de Qt arte cirdefed that it should be opened, and the enemy, judging they woulei be per mitted to enter, advanced hastily in column; but a [ discharge of grape shot was immediately made ,on them, which mowed them down by hundreds,. and covered the ground with carcasses.

ALCOBACA (IN PORTUGAL) JULY 22. *The French who were in this city, left us at seven this morning, and with so much precipitation, that not being able to make use of the provisions they hid collected, they destroyed them, even the Officers throwing them away, and scattering their wine about the streets; the slightest motion alarms and terrifies them, and the slightest rumour of the approach of I troops depresses their spirits to such a degree, that they have not power to examine what foundation there Is for the report. Ever.fond of society, both by character and educa tion, they never were so eager for it as on this fatal occasion, as they judge themselves most secure when., they are all together. All that' extraordinary bravery and intrepidity which have•belen so much vaunted in their Gazettes and Official Papers, is now changed into disgraceful panic and pusillanimity.—Minerva Lwitana, July 29.

On the 24th ult. we understand, orders were issued to all the French and Dutch troops on the North of Holland to proceed to Breda, where they were to be joined by other troops from the Banks of 'the Rhine. Opinions differed with respect to the ultimate desti nation of this force. Acc3rding to some, it was in tended to be sent to Spain ; others held that it would take the direction of the Austrian territories. The 3d Regiment of Hussars, which was quartered at the Hague, broke up on the 25th, and was replaced by the 2d Regiment from Leyden.

Scarcely 18 months ' have elapsed since the undertaking commenced, and I there is now i completed a solid mole 12 feet above high-water mark, resting on a broad foundation, and projecting upwards of 1000 feet into the sea. At the foot of the rocky mound upon which the Martell° Tower stands, eastward of Howth Town, the Pier commences, and continues in a direction pointing to the east-end of Ireland's Eye; !between which and the extremity of the Pier will be left a passage of about 500 yards, for the admission of vessels into the harbour, which will thus be formed between the Bal-' doyle short' and the new Mole. A flag-staff is now fixed at the distance to which it is intended to carry the Pier, about 1900 feet farther: Early yesterday morning a duel was handed to lave taken place between a bfdiuut Gaideman lately returned from the East-Indies, and the son of a Banker in the City.

As some mistakes and have bees circulated resrcting the manner in which the Mtn - - qui: Dc LA KOMANA vras apprized of the situation of his country, while he was under the Danish Govern. ment, it is proper to state the matter as it really hap pened. The Marquis was kept in profound ignorance of the glorious events which had taken place in his country, and various attempts had been made on the part of the British to communicate the tidings to him, and to devise means for the escape of himself and the troops under his command, without effect, At length an enterprishig Gentleman was found, not a Military Officer, as has been reported, but an Eccle siastic, in whose honour, knowledge, and goad sense, the firmest confidence could be placed. T hi s Gentle man, disguised as a trader of a very humble descrip tion, went, by the way of Heligoland, to the place where the Marquis and his troops were confined, having encountered such difficulties in his progress as required the utmost caution, patience, and fortitude. At length he overcame all obstacles, and having ascertained the person of the Marquis, he was obliged to watch incessantly for an opportunity of addressing him, without exciting the suspicion of the numerous spies by whom he was surrounded. The agent at last was obliged, as if by accident, to jostle the Mar quis in the street, hr order to attract his attention, and having done so, he apologized, as if ignorant of -the person whom he addressed, and concruded with offering to sell him some excellent coffee. The Mar quis treated this offer with contempt, and signified that he supposed he was speaking to a smuggles. The Priest, however, persevered in recommending his coffee, and, in the - course of the conversation, found means to intimate that he was not a smuggler, but a Gentleman. 44 We'll soon see that," said the Marquis, and then asked him if he could speak La tin ? The Priest answered in the affirmative, and conversation ensued, apparently about coffee, as the gestures of both were intended to deceive all who might observe them. The Marquis was then duly 'informed of every thing that had occurred in. Spain, of the assistance which the British Government had rendered, and of its readiness to adopt any measure that was practicable to effect the rescue of himself and his troops, that they might join their heroic Countrymen in resisting the vile attempts of Frame to enslave them. The rest of the measures necessary for the attainment of tire object in view, and iss happy accomplishment, are well known. - At Ramsey Fair, on Friday , there was a very large supply of chee se,: but the sale was heavy, parti cularly that of inferior quality.
