NA a detachment.ot the 36th, and of the 4th regiments, was to retire with 80111 c loss. The enemy are •indebted for the small part of the garrison. which they have saved principally to the unfortunate mistake of the mad to Barba del Puerto by the 4th regiment. During the whole period cif the blockade, but particularly during that period that the enemy's arn►y were between the iivas Casas, and the A zava, the garrison were in the habit of firing can non► during the night ; and the picquets near the place were frequently attacked. On the night of the 7th there had been a heavy the of cat non from the place, and the picquets were at tacked and another on the night of the Bth, and the Queen's regiment in particular, and the other troops employed in the hl.)ckade, were induced to believe that the explosion which they beard in the morning of the 11th, was of the same description with those which they have heard -n the preceding nights ; and the Queen's regiment did not move at all, nor the other troops, till the cause of the explosion had been ascertained.

CHARLES STEWART, Major-General and Adjutant-General. FOREIGN OFFICE, MAY 28. Dispatches were this morning received at the office of the Marquis Wellesley from Mr. Stuart, his Majesty's Minister at Lisbon, dated the 18th instant, by which it appears, that on the )nch, at midnight, the garrison of Almeida blew up the works of that fortress, and effected a retreat to Barba del Puerco, with considerable loss. Marshal Soult broke up from Gilena on the 9th of May at the head of 15,000 men, and his httad-quarters were at Zafra on the 13th, where he effected a junction with the division of General Latour Maubourg, which increased his nurnbtrs to near 22 000 men. Gen. Ballasteros immediately fell back, and united his corps with that of Gen. Blake; their combined strength usoved from Xeres to Bacarotte. On the 13th, Marshal Beresford and General Castattos concentrated their forces in Valverde, where it would appear they have been since joined by Gen. Blake. On the 16th Marshal Soult attacked the combined army at Alboera, and, after an obstinate action, was repulsed with great 1 oss, abandoning his wounded, and retiring to a position in sight of the British advanced posts. The loss on the part of the Allies is not specified, but under stood to be very severe. Major-General Houghton killed ; Major-Generals Cole and W. Stewart, slightly wounded; Lieut. Cols. Sir W. Nlyres and Duckworth, killed. The following is a translation of the telegraphic communi cation received at Lisbon. May 17„, 1811.—Elvas, Half-past Eleven, A. M.
