BRITISH TREATY.—The Baltimore Whig, speaking of the arrival of Mr. Irving, with important dis- patches from Mr. Pinkney, for Government, says— " Intelligence had been received by our Government some months ago, that Mr. Pinkney was negotiating a Treaty with the British Government. Perhaps the important dispatches alluded to contain it." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. - PARIS, AUGUST Si.

" LISEON, SEPT. I " An account was received this morning of the fall of Almeida, the frontier fortress of this country. It was considered very strong, and we are told that our whole army was in motion to relieve it , when the very unexpected account of its being taken was received. It is reported that the principal magazine blew up, which both deprived the garrison of ammunition, and . ffected a breach in the walls. A battle will no doubt very soon take place. Our army is in high health and spirits.* were irs, irs, " LISBON, SEPT. 1 " The letters from Celerico, to which place the army is falling back, are written in high spirits, although subsequent to the fall of Almeida, and our Military Correspondents are satisfied that they shall be able to give the French a severe drubbing. The Dolphin it is expected will sail to-morrow for Corunna, to take on board the Swiss regiment, and to proceed with it to Plymouth." The regiment just spoken of is that which surren dered at the Puebla de Sonabria.

Our Readers were yesterday informed of the 1411 of Almeida ; but, as a small part of our impression was printed off before the contents of Lord WELLING - TON'S dispatches were known, we again insert their substance. By a Gentleman who had just arrived at Lisbon from Cadiz, under date of the Ist instant, we have the following particulars : These dispatches are dated Celerico, the 29th oh. and state, that the enemy opened his fire upon the place on the 25th ; that by some unhappy accident the principal powder magazine belonging to the gar rison blew up on the evening of the 26th ; that on the 27th, the Governor proposed to surrender the place on condition the garrison and inhabitants might join Lord WELLINGTON'S army : this was refused, and the fire renewed, after which he held tut while his ammunition lasted, and surrendered at 2 A. M. of the 28th ; and that offers had been made to take the garrison into the French service, but all preferred ' being sent prisoners to Fiance. By the explosion of the powder magazine, five him dred of the garrison were killed, and many wounded : among the latter was General Cox, the gallant Commander.
