THE NA (1.1.6 FROM LORI, WELLINGTON. A Lisbon Mail was r •ceived oii*ednesday, which was btou;2lit by the ,Zizohirt frigate, arrived at Portsmouth. The Zpnotia sailed from the Tagus on the 13th insta, t, to which date Lisbon Papers and le , ters have been received. The dispatches front WELLINGTON, and the letter: from the Army, hrott OA by the same cotiveyance, come down to the 9th instant. The army occupied the cantonments into which the last dispatches from Lord WELLINGTON stated it to be his intention to distribute its different corps ; but it was strongly suspected to be his intention to ad vance again upon Ciudad Rodrigo, as soon as the state of the weather would render the resumption of active operations practicable. The object of such a movement would naturally be the same which led to the late blockade of that city—to make a di version in favour of the Galician army, and to ha rass the French corps, by obliging the French Ge nerals to concentrate again all their disposable troops for the protection of Ciudad Rodrigo. A letter from Lord WELLINGTON to the Portuguese Secre tary, dated Oct. 2, in substance the same as his dispatches of the same date, addressed to the Earl of LivanPooL, represents the different French corps recent:y concentrated for the relief (ICiudad Rodrigo as having again separated,and proceeded— the Army of the North to Salamanca, probably to Valladolid—the Army of Portugal to Banos and Placentia, and the corps of Girard, which had united at Merida, to Zafra. Whilst the enemy's corps are thus kept distinct, no apprehension is to be enter tained of any serious attempt against the Allied Army. Either of the enemy's corps is separately sufficient to master the detached parties of the Spa niards in their neighbourhood ; but nothing short of the union of all could hold out promise of a suc cessful result in any operations against Portugal. Whether Lord WELLINGTON, then, remain in his cantonments, or undertake any enterprise, or make a demonstration against any part occupied by the French in Spain, Portugal may be considered per fectly secure, from the dispersed state of the French corps, in the event of the inactivity of the Allied Army, and through the consummate skill and abi lity of the General, and the steady and determined bravery of the Anglo-Portuguese, troops in case a movement in advance should oblige the enemy to re-unite their forces. SPAIN. The following letter was received in town on Wed nesday, dated Portsmouth, Oct. Arrived the ship Henry, DoNoVAN, Master, in eight days from Cadiz : she passed this port this morning, and is a running ship. By her we learn, that the French were, at her departure, firing on the garrison, but with little effect. BALLASTEROS had engaged the French under Gen. Gomel:in./cif, on the 27th and 29th ult. in both of wl.iich actions he had been suc: cessful, taking above 400 prisoners. The French under the above General were 5000. Some Span ish Gentlemen, whom we have seen, have landed here from the Henry ; they say that BLAKE has been successful in an attack made by him on the French in Valencia." The above account is dis credited. AL REGIS' Vari,us letters have been received, stating that the enemy wa, proceeding in grestt force to take possession of Valencia. It is even added that Gen. Sucitur at the Iv a.t of 25.000 men had penetrated to Castili..ne, and that his approach so near the city had created great confusion amongst the inhabi tants. It is p. , ssihle that a French force may have advanced against Valencia mid from Catalonia too ; but that SUCHET should be at the head of it, is in consistent with the accounts received some time since, that he had arrived at Burgos at the head of 10,000 men, on his -way to reinforce MARMONT. The consternation and contusion created in the city of Valencia by the approach of so strong a French force, may be collected from the following letter •° Valencia, Sept. O. " This place is threatened by the approach of a French force consisting of 15,000 men. The peo ple here are in a state of the utmost confusion, and by way of precaution, most of the respectable in- habitants are removing their effects to Majorca and Minorca." om Alicaiit we learn, under the same date as the above, that the people in that vicinity also enter tained the greatest alarms for their safety, from the near approach of the enemy. And that being in considerable alarm lest the yellow fever should find its way into the town, a cordpn of troops sur rounded it, to prevent the approach of strangers. FRENCH PAPERS. French Papers have been received to the 18th inst. The intelligence they supply is neither important norinteresting. BUONAPARTE still continurid in Holland, and was not expected to return to his capital for some time; It is even stated in the Jourmal de L' Empire of the 17th, that the EMPEROR. was expected to visit the Grand Duchy of Berg, after his departure from Holland. RCEDERER I the Minister for that Duchy, was to leave Paris for Dusseldorf, where he was .to meet the EMPEROR. In that case BUONAPARTE could not possibly return to his capital till late in the present month. It does not appear by any thing contained in these Papers, that the journey of the EMPEROR was to be extended beyond the limits of the French Empire ; thriugh it is not at all unlikely, that he may from the Duchy of Berg proceed to visit in , WESTPHALIAN MA JESTY, into whose dominions he might extend his journey without exciting anyalarm or even su , picion. And when there he might in a very short time arrive at any part of the Continent, whither his views or his projects may lead him. It not yet clearly established, that his differences with the Northern Powers have been finally accommodated, and, thereto! e, whilst he continues thus to linger upon his tour, v, e should not be surprised to find him suddenly and rapidly darting forward to decide, by the weight of his per. sonal influence or by the force of his arms, the dis cussions, which are understood to havi been so long pending between him and the Sovereigns of Russia and Prussia. The French Papers continue to give the most 'fulsome details (41 the reception given by the people of Holland to BUONAPAR TE, and or the gross actu lation employed by die persons in official situations who had the•hopour to address him. in 2 IL7c . •
