The scene could not fail to have an animating effect on the Portuguese who witnessed it. By the Assuming accounts have been received, that the British troops have at length set out from Lisbon for Spain: —not bysea as was at first expected, but by land. The number dispatched on this service is about 20,000, under the command of General Moore. Their transportation by sea at this season might have been attended with some danger, but their march by land will occasion much delay. With every exertion they can hardly reach the theatre of the war before the beginning of December, when the first division of Jurior's army Will probably have arrived some weeks sooner. General KtunnuArr, who was reported to have received several dangerous wounds from the mobility of 'Lisbon, arrived, with his suite, in one of the above vessels—the AFRICAINE. This ship had sailed from the Tagus with the third division of the French troops, but put back in consequence, as it is now said, of very proper orders which had been received to stop the sailing of that division, till it was known whether the 'transports which had carried out the other divisions, had been permitted to quit the French harbours.

Our contemporariei have said much, but little to the purpose respecting the answer pretended to have 'been sent to the late dispatches.—As we have before stated, a simple receipt for the dispatches was given, but no answer was sent. Indeed it was impossible that an answer could be returned upon so important a subject as an overture from France and Russia, withoUt a feferenceto the KING. The fact, we now learn, is, tkat since the arrival of the Messengers, the Cabinet had nor, so late as last night, been assembled to deliberate upon the object of their message. There is no truth whatever in the story of a council having been in readiness at Mr. CANNING'S house to receive it, as we stated yesterday on the authority of the Morning Papers. It happened that most of the Ministers were out of town ; and the reason icr not holding a Cabinet sooner on this business, was the necessity of procuring a full attendance on such a matter, which could not have been obtained before this day.
