News of a was hourly expected at Lisbon. There bad. a sane smart skirmisLing. In the mean time, the , li ens em the enemy were immense.

A t housand difficulties present themselves er way while Lord WELLINGTON, hanging on his will wear him down in detail, or attack him in e, as prudence and circumstanccvnay dictate. . • His Majesty's brig ZENowIA was: left lying at sin. anchor in the Tagus, ready to start at a moment's „ l i ne e,eh news of the utmost importance for Eng- : d. His Majesty ship DoerneN, with 35 sail of , sports, crowded wit French deserters, left Lis- for England, the day before the JASPER. The • ',ce of Vv'elts packet had arrived out." 1.1.3110N,.N0V2M8ER is. he enemy, who had hitherto remained in front of lines, and seemed to threaten this capital, began rereat in the &gilt between the lith and 15th, in direction of Santarem : he was immediately pur- d by our troops ; and the following day our ad- ; c... 1 parties came in s;ght of the rear-guard of the •,-ch, who continued their retreat. Some prisonets e been taken, and the enemy commits still more sea than when he was advancing against us. *,,rd Wellington's Head-quarters were yesterday arrive in Santarem. , Nov. 'el.—We have not yet received any •%ence of the movements of our armies and the at of the French : in order, however, to satisf) noblic curiosity, we . will extract some interestini aculars from divers private letters meted seem that some unforeseen occurrent occasioned the retreat of the Fr retch, because the: e left some wheat and cattle behind. We mus on our guard, it is true, with respect to eatable nt!oned by the enemy ; but in this, it is to be oh ed, that they have burnt part of the provisio 'o they left, so that in all probability want c prevented them from destroying the whole.— e prisoners and deserters affirm that the enem i' ;led a number of their foreign troops itit then e their retreat, disarmed and guarded by Frencl a• ors, which seems to confirm the report whicl a (anent sotre days, that a very considerable die e eat prevailed in the French army, whether on ac ia the scarcity or bad quality of provision: ilea, Renee other cause not known. The whol from Alcroquer to Santarem is covered witl id horses, some dead human bodies, broken mix re &c. In some houses which were fauns! lecke( ' bodies were found shut up, probably with th entien of spreading infection. 1 9 Hovere.—Yesterday arrived here about 260 Frenc ;aavers, taken by our light troops in Azamba y belonged to a corps of 400 men, which was con ..ely deetroyed. b Persons continua to arrive from places which wet 14 tupied by the French when they were in front I ? et lines ; they sheltered themselves from the iecli key of the season chiefly by making a kind of she lilt the doors, shutters, windows, e&c. of the fteigl taring houses. Letters from Calaxo of the ISill state, that t.l tad-quarters arrived there on that day ; they ad t :at the number oL' deserters was great, and that . 'sold be still greatef were their desertion not o' . hoed by local circumstances. From the tilee when the enemy arrived in front r lines until he left that position, his loss in dese ion only amounts to 3797 men, which clearly she .e great amount of his losses since he invaded , untry. Ft appears that the movement of the French has pt need results the most calamitous to the enemy. •T; ositions which the different divisions of our armi iroadiately occupy, after they are evacuated by t emy, enable them closely to watch his directi, d manuvres. The devastation committed by t tench in the places which they occupied or'throul Lich they passed, is most dreadful ; but all the c turista:lees observed in the positions which they es mate, prove that they really sustained the most t •ent want of things of the utmost importance, in p; 'cular means of conveyance ; their cavalry has al tEereel a very great diminution; in consequence e vast Lumber of horses which daily died throer cessive fatigue. It is also said that Massena is eely iadisposed. NOV. 17.—Divers accounts were yesterday in c dation relative to the operations of the armies. T Iglu before last several signal guns were fired at si consequence of which a great number of ships wt working up the Tagus. The cause of tl esculent is not yet known, but we are assured w me deuce of probability, that Lord Wellington • 4441 cin& Avid+ his troops, and that the enemy t ~ • • raised Ms oentp. Shouli this be ally tree, the re-1 treat Of the French cannot but prove, extrethely de structive to them, obliged as they are to perform their retrograde movements pursued by the immortal hero to whom the defence of this kingdom is committed. Nov. 22:—On the ISth,late night, Massena com meriCed his retreat, and Lord Wellington to pursue him. We are now given to understand that the French General was not in that want of provisions as was supposed by many people here, but that the distress of his troops in respect to cloathing, particularly in shoes, was extreme. There is a report here in circulation, which, how ever, is generally discredited, that ten thousand men, with a large convoy.of provisions and cloathing, have joined Massena. 'We now feel satisfied that we re perfectly secure for the remainder of the year ; it is doubtful with some of the best informed, whether any battle of consequence will take place this campaign. It is said that a corps, consisting of several thou , sand men, has been destroyed by the Portuguese on their route to join Massena. SEVILLE, OCTOBER 15. The troops of the divisions of Mowirtert have begun to enter this place, and some preparations indicate that they will immediately march for Carmona. To-day it is whispered that the whole kingdom of Cordoba has risen, and that the small garrison which defended the capital has been destroyed. In this ca pital the peasants found and seized upon a quantity of arms and ammunition, and have disposed them selves to make a vigorous resistance. There is likewise much said respecting Granada, but there is no foundation for believing that Sebasti ani has fallen back, however necessary it might be, nor abandon the many fortified positions which his army occupied. We have just received from La Mancha, under date ; of the 25th ult. the following intelligence : The party of the Physician, on the 9th and 10th, completely defeated the enemy in Cidell, and killed fifty-seven. The intelligence, that a division of our troops, in number 6000, w hich were in Cuenca, had marched forward to Tarancon, in the neighbourhood of which . theyrouted an enemy's column of 1500 men, is eonfir imed. In consequence, the reinforcementy which had arrived from Toledo at Cuesta de la Reina halted, and took another route, since on the 22d they had not entered 'Poled°. of ran ir td- le lets he ey lust ics ob [on of In y •m ich iich ac- moos, 'lole ith ys ed , 'rend' :orti- 7 ere of icle. shed 7gh- the It it ob- Lt cf eser shews this The trmies the tirection , the trough cir- eva- ur- In this city there only remains a garrison composed of sick, and about 20 cavalry ; they keep all the gates shut, with the exception of St. Martin and Vizagra.

Two vessels sailed from that place ; and, as is usual, a boat, well manned, piloted them out to a certain distance. The sea lising suddenly, prevented the possibility cf , the boat's return ; when a Mr. BATH and three men I. got on the pier-head to watch what course the beat ! Turkeurns. would take. They had not stood there long, ere a o „„e r ei g , heavy swell and sudden gust of wind, swept them all Beaufort rfr, without the least previous notice. A Mr. Gilmer aeea•iseers.

He succeeded ; eseeiesirs. in saving the lite of Mr. BATH just as he was sinking, Ceruwattis but the other three were unfortunately drowned.— bath Two of them have kft large families.

Ross Hereford It is not true, as stated in some of the Papers, that Orford Carlisle Admiral Drury had sailed against the . .lifoluccari. The Dutch Settlement of Banda, one of the Spice Islands, .was expected to be the next of the enemy's possessions that would fall. The Dover, Captain TUCKER ; Pied montaise, Captain FOOTE ; and Semarang, Captain SPENCER, with a .competent military foree,bad sailed to attack it. Admiral Dauity was in the Bucephalus, Capt. PELLY, on the Sd July, to which ship he had shifted his flag at sea- He sailed from Trincomalee in the Russell, Capt. CAULFIELD, and had proceeded as far as the Basses, when, in the night, it was discovered that the ship had suddenly sprung a leak, and that her 1 magazines were af,oat, with eight feet waterin her hold. She became water-logged, and was absolutely going down by the head, when - the Admiral, by the able orders he instantly issued; and which were as promptly obeyed, succeeded in making her answer the helm, . and put her before the wind. By means of the pumps and bailing she was kept above the water, and in ties state returned to Trincomalee, and was left there by I the Belliqueux, Captain BYNO. Thus, by an exertion lof seamanship we are incompetent to describe, his 1 Majesty's ship and her brave crew were preserved to the service. The Phzton, Captain Preeew, anchored in Madras Roads with the Bucephalus. The new 74 built at Bombay was launched on the 120th of June, from the Duncan Dock, and named by the Governor thettnristfe. This is the first attempt lto build line-of-battle ship s in India; and the Kee k Dins is represented as the "handsomest vessel ever seen, fas well-finished as the could have been in any part of 1 Europe.
