They all concur in re presenting the Isle of Leon as impregnable. As to the reported battle of the 19th and 20th ult. from every circumstance that can be collected it could not possibly have taken place, nor does any person now give it tl4 smallest degree of credit. By the latest accounts from Portugal it appears, that after the fall of Ciudad Rodrigo, the movements of the enemy precluded the possibility of any battle at the date mentioned. The position of Lord WELLING TON was too strong to be attacked in front, and MAs. SENA seems clearly to have given up every idea of hazarding such a measure ; but something was to be done,—to sit down and look at the combined army would neither have suited his own character nor the impatience of his master. He has therefore had recourse to manceuvres which, though they may require time, will, it is to be feared, eventually force Lord WELLINGTON to fall back from his present po sition. Having first detached a force of 25,000 men towards Salvaterra and Castel Branco, the French Commander, immediately after the surrender of Ciu dad Rodrigo, marched with the main body of his army towards Salamanca. It is therefore evidently his intention, by this movement to the north, to make subsequently a turn to the Westward, and endeavour to enter Portugal through The difficulties of such a 'march are no doubt great, but MASSENA had to choose between an attack urn Lord WELLINGTON in his strong position, which would have been pregnant with danger, and almost hopele s s, or to remain inactive.—The French force which has marched toward Castel Branco must either be put her: de comhat, or it will gain the line of the Tagus, and interfere between our army and Lisbon, whilst in the mean time MASSfENA, with the main body of his arrpy, may enter Portugal to the north, gain pos session of the DOuro, and cut off our retreat to Oporto. —Of the movements of the enemy, and the conse. quences to which they may lead, Lord WELLINGTON cannot be ignorant ; nor can it be doubted that his Lordship will adopt proper measures for the security and safety of his army, and prevent his flanks from being turned, which is evidently theobject of Mamma. We therefore expect soon to hear that his Lordship has retreated. Hopes are entertained that General }lux will be able to reach Castel Branco before the French force detached thither. His force we fear is not equal to that to which it will be opposed, but it is in excellent order and well disciplined, and every thing may be hoped from the firmness and valour of the troops. We believe the force under Lord WEL. UNGTON is numerically greater than is generally ima gined ; for various reinforcements have been sent out without noise or bustle, in detached transports and ships of war. A few days will throw much new light en the present posture of affairs. • By letters from Gallicia, received yesterday, it ap pears that Astorga is in a state of siege. Some onhe private letters received by the Gotten burgh Mail of yesterday, state that a Convention for an exchange of prisoners, between Denmark and England, was daily expected to be signed. They also mention, that the period for exporting gram from the Duchies of Holstein and Schleswick, had been again enlarged ; and that the prohibitory order was expected to be revoked. They add, that the good effects of this liberal policy were evinced in the encreased movements in the Danish ports, and the renewed vigour of the internal trade.—Front Riga, of the 7th ultimo, we learn, that a new order had been issued, under which no ships wet* to be al lowed to receive or discharge cargoes in the harbours of Russia, coming from Oporto or Lisbon. No final determination has been made known as to vessels that h.td cleared out from Teneriffe. We have this day laid befon! our Readers. some more of the letters of Trench Generals, intercepted in Spain. They are extremely curious; and the inter nit evidence of their authenticity is so strong, that no assertions or sophistry of the French can invalidate it. In another column, we have also given extracts from Amertean Papers to the Bth ult. Above twenty young men arrived last week in this country from Holland, inorder to avoid the military con scription, which is most rigorously inforced. It is, i ndeed, the policyof Bonaparte to remove the active inhabitants of every conquered country, and to send them to countries, to which they can feel no attachment, and for which they are not likely to join in an insurrection. It is to prevent this emigration from Holland, as well as the introduction of our manufactures, that a soldier to be stationed in every fishing-boat. But in spite i 1 soldier, those, who can muster a small sum fox ilrrodiate sraigenciea,. ore emigrating to this country. UNITS Rsn'T IYI ELLICENCS. : • •••r" THE ARMY.
