[FROM TlLtlttlf TOSIC.C4Agrts. " The Varengo arrived at Port Pcnn last, where she now is undergoing some getting a supply of water, provisions, peeled that she will be ready to Sail in.a. tier Captain states, that he has positive our good friend, the loving Eamon, '.. and destroy every American vessel bound to must h&y *nay least, Aware of the formidable state of and of the necessity of being' !imperia l 'for every event, a peremptory order has been issued at Vie head-quarters of the Allies, requiring all Officers who might be absent oil leave immediately to join their respective reginienb ; and the most active mea sures were taking by Lord WELLINGTON to concen trate the forces under his command, in order that he might be in a condition to oppose any attack of the enemy. A Gentleman just arrived at Lisbon, franc head-quarters, writes, under date the 17th inst. de` follows I had the honour to dine with Lor4 WELLINGTON five days age, at his Lordship's heed& quarters. He was in high health y and never in better spirits. The army had been greatly increased, and continued almost daily to receive strong reinforse ments. The troops were also in high spirits; some sickness had prevailed, occasioned in a great degree from over indulgence in eating the fruits of the country. Some movement was about to take place, which it was confidently: sepposed would lead to another battle. Msasteler was also con centrating his forces, and some event of moment was in.the immediate conternpletion of all the officers ; but the direct intentions of Lord WELLINGTON were con fined solely to his own bosom." The following setter, however, dated Lisbon, 16th Sept. does not give, so favotlrable a view of matters as the preceding: aQ" General Hues division has marched horn the Aletitejo to join Lord WELLINGTON, but upwards of fourteen hundred.sick are left behind. We lost three Medical Officers last week.—Orders were re ceived yesterday for provisioning the lines. The promiscuous manner in which honours have I been conferred by the PRINCE REGENT of Por tugal has produced great disgust ; 140 Counts were made at the Brazils in the same Gazette with Lord WELLINGTON, Marshal Bentsrotto, and Brigadier-General &amis.—That there should be eb distinction made between a man who has kept this kingdom three years against all BONAPARTE/S efforts, and a Brigadier. in the Por tuguese service, is censurable, while the Prince's Valet de Chamhre at Brazils has obtained the very same honour. The French have got d reinforce.: merit of 28,000 men, but the Allied Army, notwithz standing, remains superior in numbers, and is be sides in high spirits. Marshal Btarsroan has very Tittle society. He is very il , and is going to the sea side, to a place called Canis, to bathe. He is very low in spiiits. All the military amateurs, viz. the Duke of LEINSTER, Earls DELAWARE add CLAIE, aid Lord WILLIAM FITZGERALD, are gone up to the Army. When they will return may be readily c3n ceived."—Whatever may be in these discordant ac counts, it is sufficiently obvious, that matters are now arrived at that 'crlsi which mint lead to some impora taut events decisive of the'fate at the Peninsula. Spain or Portugal, and that he is determined to eze• cute those orders. These pirates will next levy a contribution on our towns, and, if it is not paid, lay them in ruins. The Marengo ought to be taken care of. The Marengo his deposited in our banks upwards or ' l OO.OOO dollars in specie, 33,000 of which was taken from the English ship Exchange." [VEOM THE NEW YORK MORNING POST, AVG. 28.] _ _ " The French privateer brig Diligent, which sailed from the agaivare last Thursday, is supposed to have been captured by the British frigate Befridere, Capt.

" Odr private titters from America, spoil; confi dently of an Embargo, but it is not likely that the PSTOIDENT would vesture upon such a measure be fore the meeting of Congress, or the appearance of 4 British lett on their coact; and it is very probable that thatt►monred deStinatien of Sir J.

Something decisive may, however, be expected soon, as a Cabinet Conn. , cil will be held this day, which has been called for the express purpose of deliberating on these matters. On Saturday Lord BENTINCH had a long audience with the INUNCE REGENT, at York-house, where he was most graciously received by his Royal Highness, , who, it is said, highly apprcrvxl of his Lordship's conduct, which had been worthy the character of a British Ambassador, and becoming the dignity of the British nation.

A letter from Lisbon, received by the last mail; states, that the following catastrophe took place lately in the neighbourhood of Castallo Branco Owing to some misunderstanding about a billet, two British Officers : a Lieutenant-Colonel and Captain, took upon themselves to throw= the baggage of a Portuguese Officer out_ of the window; and on the latter's r monstrating, the Colonel spit in his face. The Portuguese drew his sword, and with one or two blows on thr head dispatched the Colonel. • The Captain had in the mean tiMe4trmed himself to assist his friend ; but the Portuguese Officer W:.:5.10.6 alert for him, and with one thrust laid him-dead at his feet. An English picket *v • called in, to which lid refused to surrender; but. immediately did to bne of his own country. The Portuguese officer it is said, is considered as having acted properly. in Cie itffair with the Colonel - at leise, and be supported by Marshal Beresford. ~ . THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE;Serr. SO.
