Last night a M ail at-rived from Lisbon, bringing letters and papers to the 15th ult. Th e British troops intended to act under the comb mand of Sir JouN Moozz had previously commenced the i r ma rch for Spain. Several regiments were ex pected to embark immediately in the Tagus for the o t pose of proceeding to the mouth of the Ebro, from whence they were to march to Barcelona. The Spanish troops which had been so long confined in the Tagus, and after their release embarked on board r itish transports, it was understood had proceeded to the sante destination. The British squadron in the Tagus consisted of Os' sail of the line, and several smaller vessels. It would shortly be farther diminished, as Sir C. COTTON bad received orders to return to England. The populace of Lisbon, after the two first divi sions of the French had embarked, made several at. teitlptS to wreak their vengeance on those who rej miffed , Some disturbances ensued, which occa. sioned the interposition of the British troops. They were suppressed without the loss of any lives. Advices from Oporto, of the some date, were alsd received. They mention, that several of the trans ports which sailed from Lisbon with the second divi sion of French troops on board, had been forced to take shekel- in that harbour. The populace, as soon as they were apprized of what kind of merchandize they had on board, took possession of the vessels, and seized all the plunder and baggage, which were landed. Just as this Paper was going to press, we received, by express, Madrid Gazettes to the 21st of October. The following is the only article which our time and Emits permit us to lai before our Readers : SARAGOSSA, OCTOBER. G. HAVTFMTO TO VIA INHABITANTS OF SARAGOSSA. a The heroic defence of Saragossa, which has been rnade by tae magnanimous inhabitants of that city and its vicinity, is the object of admiration to all par ties, and will be so to future ages; the constancy, in- 1 flexibility, and calmness with which they resisted the y incessant assault of an enemy, who every day at tacked, and every day was conquered, shew that their hearts are animated by the most noble sentiments, and evince that those virtues which best secure the independence of a people, are not lost to Spain, and at the same time teach us what may be done by a people determined to be free. CORUNNA,OCTOBSK ts. (PRIVATI LITTZR.) The disembarkation of the English troops has com menced, and will continue to the amount of 5000 men ; they will proceed on their march directly, and will be followed by others when they are sufficiently advanced. Not more than a battalion can proceed at a time on account of the want of accommodations on the road. The whole will meet at Burgos, when they will join General Moore, who is advancing hither from Pottage' with about 15,000 men more. His Britannic Majesty's ship Amelia sailed this morning with transports, having on board the 2d and 51st regiments ; their destination is said to be Lisbon. Mr. Frere and suite left this place yesterday morning for Madrid. On the 14th instant, which was Ferdi nand's birth-day, the mob at Madrid broke the w•in dows of Baron Strogonoff, the Russian Ambassador, who, in consequence, has demanded his passports, but it is not expected that he will quit the city. The Junta propesed some satisfaction for the insult.—No news from General Blake. CONTINENTAL JOURNALS. Dutch papers to the 21st October, containing Pa ris news to the 16th, have been. received ; also Ham burgh papers—but their date is nor so recent. The accounts from Erfurth are dated the sth, and contain nothin remarkable ; but it appears from an article dated Hamburgh, October the 14th, that a Treaty has been concluded between France and Prussia, under the mediation of Russia. The parti cular terms are not disclosed, but it is said that Bo- NAPARTE has remitted a considerable part of the con tributions levied on the Prussian States. It is hinted that BONAPARTE has granted favourable terms, in consequence of a letter written by the Queen of PROS-. SIA to the Emperor ALEXANDER ; and it is not a little curious, that the Corsican should take upon liimselr to reply to that letter. It is said, that he wrote an answer to her Prussian Majesty, with his own hand, and acceded to all her wishes. The intelligence from Spain is not important.—BowApAitru was expected ' at Paris before the end of October. Letters from Pillau, of the 9th October, confirm the intelligence previously received, that an embargo had been laid on all vessels in the ports of Russia. The most rigorous measures are resorted to, to pre vent the exportation of any Russian produce. The letters announcing this event, received at Palau from St. Petersburgh, were under the date of September 27. By this conveyance accounts have been received, which we should have had great phAsure in repeat ing, did we not know that, unhappily, they are alto gether unfounded. A letter, dated Banks of the Elbe, 30th September, states that a courier had arrived there on the preceding day, with intelligence that the whole of the Russian fleet in Port-Baltic, excepting three ships, bad been destroyed &c. by the combined British and Swedish fleets! !—Need we remind our Readers that not only the regular mails from Gottenburgh, but even Official Dispatches, brought by the FANCY gun-brig, have announced the breaking up theblocka de. The same letter, speaking of the Imperial confe rence at Erfurth, says that its object is to settle still farther the fate of Germany and Italy, to arrange the affairs of Spain and Portugal, and to make pro posals of peace to England. Should England refuse to accede, " the Russian expedition against the Bri t tish possessions in India is immediately to go for " ward !"—So much for German speculations. On Sunday morning the consecration o? Doctor MAtisia.L, the Master of Trinity College, Cambridge, as Bishop of Bristol, took place at Lambeth-palace. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY met his reverend brethren, the Bishops of WINCHESTER, SALISBURY, and OXFORD, in his Grace's private apartments. At twelve o'clock, the Archbishop, Bishops, 1)r. MANSELL, the Bishop of Bristol elect, with a number of the Digni taries of the Church, the Officers.from Doctors' Com mons, the attendants and officers of the Archbishop of CANTERDURY, proceeded in grand procession to his Grace's chapel, where the usual ceremony of conse cration was performed. After which an appropriate sermon was preached by the Bishop of BRISTOL'S Chaplain. The ceremony finished about two o'elnek. The Duchess of BRUNSWICK, 3.vitlloeveral attendants, were present. The ARClfintielf entertained all those. engaged in the business with a sumptuous dinner. On Saturday last JAMES HENRY MONK, Esq. MA. Fellow of Trinity College 'Was elected to the Greek Professorship in the Univehity of Cambridge, vacant by the death of the illustrious Professor PoitsoN. At the final close of the Poll yesterday, for a Common CouncjlEnen of the Ward of Fai ringdon Within, the numbert were for Mr. 11aw,.........187 ) Mr. Winter,' 131 Whereupon the foriter was declared duly elected.

A Court of Inquiry,- it is said, will shortly be for med, to investigate the Convention of Cinrra, agree ably to the precedents of Sirs S. COPE and General MORDAUNT. We hope that the Court will be public, as was the case on both these occasions. NAUTICAL INTELLIGENCE. His Highness the Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived at Clifton, from Bath, on Wednesday evening ; and, early on Friday morning, he reviewed the Somerset, Carmarthen, and Monmouth and Brecknock Militias, on Clifton Down. The Spanish Papers mention that great services had been rendered by Lord COCHRANE in cruising along the coast from Barcelona to the Guiph of Lyons.— Amongst other exploits, he had demolished the Tower of the Saints at Mateora ; and all those that were used for telegraphs, as far as Banuls, sending his boats with barrels of powder to blow them up. At St. Lorenzo de &Wm; Angeles, and other towns, he spiked the guns of the batteries, and burned their carriages, not withstanding the appearance of some French cavalry and infantry, sent to prevent his landing. Roussillon was so much alarmed, that a considerable portion of troops marched out of the castle of Figueras and Am pardan, to defend and cover the coast. TORBAY, OCTOBER 30. The morning sailed the following ships, under command of Admiral Lord GAMBIER, consisting of the CALEDONIA, ROYAL GEORGE, SAINT GEORLT, DREADNOT:OIIT, DRAGON, ACHILLE, TEMERAIRE, and Tnnitirn ; also the BETSY and NIMUOD cutters, to resume their station off Brest.—Also sailed his Ma psty's ship MEDIATOR, Captain BLANEY, having on board 270 Spaniards, bound to Spain.—Also sailed his Majesty's ship UNICORN, for Spain.—This morn ing as his Majesty's ship CALEDONIA was getting un der weigh, one bf the seamen fell from the rigging and was drowned.—We have experienced very bad weather since the fleet has been in Torbay, and not -1 withstanding the very heavy gales, the whole of the fleet rode it out remarkably well, not having expeti- Bruetsit NAVAL FORCE.—The following is the Re. enced the least injury whatever. port up to November I.—At sea, 97 sail of theline, PORTSMOUTH, OCTOBER 31. 12 of 44 to 50 guns, 134 frigates, 359 sloops, brigs, Arrived a fleet of outward-bound vessels from the Ste.—Total 592.—1 n commission 830.—Grand total, Downs.
