The extracts from Lord WELLINGTON'S dis patcfies in the Gazette of last Tuesday, somewhat lessened the gloom occasioned by those rumours, without dispelling it completely. The defeat of lards under General MENDIZABEL was c0n- 91f Spani; ed by those official docuMents, with this addi tional circumstance, that ,the Spaniards were sur prised in their camp, although the French had to ,cross the Guadiana and the Evora to attack them Badajoz was not taken on,the 2d March, the date of Lord WELLING•ros's last dispatch, ?although be *sieged by the enemy since the 9th of February ; the communications were still open on the right of the Guadiana ; the fire of the place was well kept up ; the garrison was reported to be in good spirits, and not ill supplied with provisions ; yet we do not see any prospect of its being relieved, unless indeed Lord WELLING•roN should attack and defeat MAS SF,NA. Should Badajoz ultimately fall into the hands of the enemy, as it mist, unless the French are compelled to raise the siege by a superior force, the Trench corps now employed in Spanish Estre madura will be able to march towards Lisbon, cn the south side of the Tagus, through the Alentejo ; 'and in that case Lord WEIXINGTON will unquestion ably find himself in a critical situation. We rely as much as any one on his Lordship's abilities, and on the bravery of the troops under his command, but we cannot suffer out-judgment to be biassed by our wishes, and we believe that the short view we have given of the state of affairs in that quarter will 'be found as correct as it is impartial.
