An Anti()lt and a Lisbon _flail arrived this morn ing. We have made. some interesting extracts rom them, to which we must refer (Sur Reader,. We have not room for any commentg. The account given in the French Papers-respect ing the manoeuvring of their squadron off Toulon, is so remarkably confused and contradictory, that Ire are inclined to hope that there may be some foundation for the account which reached us some days ago from Bristol. Lord CASTLEREAGH will this day lay before the House some information respecting the state of the disturbed Counties. We yesterday. gave, a correct outline of the cause--:The KING v. FOOTE,—and promised our readers a full report of it to-day, but the length of the Parliamentary Debates, and the pressure of other matters, oblige us to defer it till Mouday. LISBON MAIL. LISBON, JUNE 8. - -Extract of a letter from his Excellency Marshal General Lord WELLINGTON, to his Excellency D. MIGUEL PEREIRA FORJAZ, dated Uead-quarters, Fuente _de Guinaldo, Juire . 3; 1812 "Marshal, MARMONT has again removed his head-quarters to Salamanca, nnd the troops which marched from thence when he made that change, have likewise returned. " The enemy's troops which as I communicated to your Exceliencyl in illy dispatch of the 18th ult., had. moved from the bridge of Arcebispo, and Marched by the 'road of Delectoso, arrived at Truxillo on the 26th, where they retired on the 28th, by the same road by which they had ad vanced. I have not . learned that they have left Arcebispo, nor . that the 'second division has left Talavera." ' LISBON, JUNE 14.—Not a word of news, that is to say no fighting has yet taken place. • The French-again occupy Salamanca, and are fortifying - . the Convent and strong hOuses, but this- can only be intended to prevent surprise from small parties. On the 9th, all our army was well up, •and = were expected to' cross the • Guadiana about • the 12th. In the South, the • enemy were collecting in force in -Seville, and no doubt intend to keep the British army. on the alert. Our advanced cavalry are still at Rebura, where the Count of TRAmosA. is expected. SANTIAGO, JUNE 2.--His Excellency Conde . de ANrARANTz, - .writes under date of the 26th ult. to D. M. (IC UTICA, an account of the victory gained by 'Gen. Hui, over the eneiny, and . the , • taking of the bridge of Ahnarez. Private letters add, that .in consequence of this important event ; . the French had left the bridge of Arcebispo, amt evacuated. Porte Meravite, abandoning all their . fortifications; that. the English had introduced 1;000,000 of rations, and were using every ex ertion to introduce as many more. •" The Redactor General, published at Cadiz on . the 3d June,' says i—" We 'are assured that on the 31st of . May there was a bloody action in BOrnos." And that of - the 2 5th says,— " General BALLESTEROS marched upon Cam- • . . pina de Xeres with rations or five days..! We are delighted on this occasion to add, that from various tracts, and through -different channels,' there have arrived at this capital reportS of there . having been a battle between BALLESTEROS and SOULT (uncle •or nephew). A letter which I have seen states,--.-This• moment .two Spa nish Officers, belonging' to the Estramaduri an Legion, have arrived with the_ informa tion, that BALLESTEROS, reinforced by 2,000 English, had defeated SOULT, took his military chest, and killed, 'wounded, or made prisoners 5,000 of the enemy ; SOULT fled with the utmost celerity. I give the news as I received it ; it is I probable, but remains to be confirmed. The only remaining difficulty obstructing the immediate shipments for the_ 'United States, in consequence_ of the late Proclamation, revoking the Orders in Council ; is removed by the conces sion of the Board of Trade. We are inforuied, that licenses will forthwith be granted to Ameri 'can ships destined from hence to the Republic, and freighted with British. manufactures, in the nature of a guarantee, or safe 'conduct against capture by British cruisers: These licenses are to be valid for such protection, ivhether the" pro perty be British or American. An alien, who has resided at Dover for some time, by the name of Dr. , was taken into custody on Wednesday, .being fotind in the citadel with a forged pass, -under. pretence of visiting the wife of a soldier, who was ill. Three :centi nels who, thus deceived; 'had - suffered him to pass ; were put into confinement.' The - Doctor has since been removed from the gua7rd-house fo the _town n - aol. • " . ADrERT - ISEMENT.-Tax upon all' kinds of 'Lea ther.—The Chancellor of the Exchequer's answer in the house, on last night s to the apprehensions that this tax would be ruinous to the export trade of all good manufactured of Leather Wr.s very 'far from 'being satisfactory. He said the export trade could not he injured, as he • should -al-- low the drawback to be the same per cent, as the•original duty ; but he did not state how much Vle Leather is diminished in weight after it,hts paid the duty, by the process of currying, and by cutting it into the • shapes necessary 'make it, into Boots and Shoes, :Saddles, Harness, 'and other articles math: of Leather. . Upon a moderate calculation it appears, that the advance that must be made Uporra dozen pair of ordinary Shoes would .be .twelve shillings, and the drawback would -be les s - than three per dozen, and thi4 angument will apply equally to Most other sort of goods, and to many in a. st ill greater degree". .The tax (which is equal to IQ. per bent upon rough Leather, and Upon a South 'American Hide. equal to one half its Value in the raw state) is not to extend to Irelanr, which, at this time, buys the raw material from the British rvinnufaCtiirert even in the English market,and, should this duty take place, would be enabled to undersell the manufacturers of Great Britain in all articles made of Leather.— The Shoe-maker, the Sadier;the Harness-maker, as mach as any other branch of the Leather Trade, it is hoped, will; through their Repre sentatives in Parliament, express their sentiments of-this Tax, on Wednesday next, when the Bill is fixed to be read the last time, and prevent the ruin of this great staple manufacture, which gives employment to so many thousands.

Under theSe•cireumStances; we do not see how a rupture, can. be avoided. According to our laSt. letters from Liebau, Duroc has failed in A mission to the Russian head-quarters. The great disadvantage of the French, in the event of hostilities, is the, scarcity of provisions and forage, which already prevails throughout the,ir army, while the Russians ark amply supplied. The Russians have their magazines about 100 miles in their rear, Which ; in case of defeat, be removed backward, WhilSt they destroy. every article of supply which they cannot carry awity. . • . We learn that a Russian frigate, has sailed from St. Petersinirgh, under sealed orders, and with an Ambassador on board. - I`o-day it is, understood she has reached Hano. The account of the death of Romanzow ive be lieve to be incorrect. It 'is true, however; that he has had a paralytic stroke. It is yet believed that British ships will be ad mitted into the Russian ports. British vessels are already suffered to avail themselves of the protec tion of Swedish convoys. It is stated in letters from Riga, that on the 31st of May, the long expLeted order for the, admission of British ships into Russian ports reached that place ; but that it was not to be promulgated un til a certain period. - Produce was on the rise . at St_ Petersburgh, and exchange had. adVanced to 14 5-Bths on the 30th of May. • - FURTHER EXTRACTS. _ GOTTENBURGH, JUNE 16.—N0 battle has- yet taken place ; the last accounts say, - that it is ndt the intention of the Russians to advance, and that they are so very p6rerful,. and in such an excel lent state, that the.

BERLIN, JUNE 4.—Our Paper contains the fol- lowing paragraph : According to report, the Emperor NAPOLEON means to inspect the whole Of the line occupied by his troops. The French. Imperial Adjutant General Count de NARBONNE, who on the 28th of last month, returned from Wilna to Dresden, and brought his monarch a letter, in reply from his Imperial Ruisian Majesty, after having taken twenty-four hours ' rest, followed the Emperor „NAPOLEON.

A s far as I, can relate, 1 will give you a trtl account of a most awful event, as w itncssel and experienced by myself. I was lying in -be about six, o'clock in the morning, when I 011 ' served my chamber more dark than usual", Some time after I arose .and opened 'one oi my WihdOws, ,when I observed to the North a. . .dark-thick cloud, similar to the usual indication of a great deal of rain (which would have been very..acceptable), but at, the same time I. per ceived a most remarkable bright cloud to Of southward, so much so as to: reflect a ligh t on the houses. We had 'had What we co l ' ceived. to be several rolling claps of thunde r during the .. night, .and the last was at a quart er past seven, when an' instantaneous total darkness ensued, and from that time till one o'clock never saw so dreadful a phenomenon. I ne ver beheld so dark a night in the gloomy moil .of November : in short, every thing appear e like Chaos, and the lamps, handed about t he streets in hundreds, were scarcely sufficient t h ° give light to the persons who held them, mu ° f less to any one else. To• paint the hoiror °,, the scene is utterly impossible. During 'the ti'; of the darkness we were assailed by inimen s u . ' falls of calcareous matter "(as. I think) to 5 11 , C , . a degree that it was dangerous to go out of t h - • house ; indeed it was impracticable to do so wi t ' , out.a hood or umbrella, and these were only terd" porary screens, for by the time you had proceol e 4 one yard, you were completely covered by ' tul a stuff. At ten o'clock the Rev. Mr. Garnet Il a t the church bells rung, and gave prayers such a scene of horror, dismay, terror, a n e consternation, cannot be imagined by °° ,,f who did not see it. Thousands of people s ‘ all descriptions flocking to Church, without raa d Or distinction, - mistress and servant kneeling, ° s3 o _. praying by the side of each other,. all fear i ,& tome dreadful catastrophe would hurry them ° `: r of the world before they could make tb ej er peace, and firmly believing they should n ev j sec the light again. 1 must confess to yo° gave myself up, for - _the lava was gatherl",4, very 'fast on us, and no prospect but of star'vili; or perishing under it. At first. What fell 1r 3 . 3 0 , very black *substancevery coarse, but it gra,. of ally became aS fine as Scotch snuff, and in a le ,:, hours the'streets and tlie. tops of the.houses many inches thick in. this Matter. About past one o'clock, a small glimmering of V i : c. began to appear, and by half s past two P') . ° , o we could make out people in the streets. i t t f o f gradually got lighter, so that we could see volin n ' t at this matter floating' in the air, but so thick kis to obscure the sun, nor have we yet seen th e s o f 'clearly. :About half past Six last night we s ia . like . rays of Are in the southern quarter ag .- ' l . o k . 11' i rom ail these circumstances I am led to th 4 ol , there must have been an explosion of some . • calm very near us. To-day we have been 1) 1. '3 in endeavouring to remove the lava, but I 111 t fear, Without we have a'heavy fall of water t°,'Aoly. us, we shall be very long about-it, and Go a ° knows how it will end: The whole Island is 3 0 one complete sheet of lava ; the canes -are , h a weighed down with it,- and the t 3 ' horses must die for want if we are ll ° mediately relieved. 'We cannot see twentyl_ oo , before us for the immense volumes of this star' for tinually falling from off the tops of the houses nt so Soon as it is dry, it is exactly like flour. ,J - t inclined to think now the thunder I thougi' vt a, heard in the night was the explosion of some,. t o I herewith have sent you some 01 dust-, which I hope you will receive safe."
