Alegrette, with its Castle, and Porto Alegre. The Portugueze, who were retreat ing , precipitately, have repassed the Tagus, and have assembled at Abpantes. ,We have I:und a great quantity of ,provisions, many arms, two iron can-, non, and four ammunition waggons. This new position of the Army secures its communications with Spain.

Note of the French. Editor.---[Abrantes is a forti fied place,, fourteen leagues from _Lisbon, of which it is the bulwark. When' the Combined Armies of France and Spain marched against 'Ora' ntes in 1762, the King of Portugal demanded an Armistice, which was granted, and the English, although they had an Army in POrtugal under the' command of General BURGOYNE, hastened to 'conclude a Peace.] LETTER FROM THE PRINCE OF PEACE, COMMANDER OF THE ARMY OF OPERATION, DATED JUNE 6, ADDRESSED TO THE KING. " SIR, " It is now half past 'nine in the evening: I .am hastening ,to conclude the Conditions on which Campo' Maggiore is to surrender. I shall to-mor.: row take possession of that large place. The Army of His Imperial 'Majesty and myself shall go and dine in the ruins of it. Auguella has also surren-, tiered.. This is a castle and a village dependant upon A/bre - fueryue, and which has greatly annoyed the troops which have passed through it. If I have powder, and-Peace is not concluded, I shall fortify these two places. The troops who are besieging it deserve reward." JUNE 7.—" It is six in the Morning; and Yam in formed of the successful result of the Expedition which the Commander of the First Division, Don Diego Gob(); is carrying on. Ile is marching against Evora. I shall in my next advices give you a cir, cumstantiat account. I have granted the last Arti cle hi the Capitulation of Canz4bo Maggiore, as a boon to the vanquished, for their valour, and be cause it would not haVe been worthy of Spaniards to have sought to destroy them. It is necessary that a Soldier should accustom. himself to that gene rosity frOm which as a Spaniard and a suhjel of your Majesty, he can never swerve."—Madrid Ga zette Extraordinary, June to.

DUDLEY RY'DER, Treasurer of the Navy, still continues very much indisposed. When. Mr. VANSITTART rose to move the ad_ journment of the House of Commons last night, he first mentioned Friday for :he thy to which it should adjourn.

This circumstance inclines us to believe that Parliament, will not be prorogued till Friday.
