He was followed into his own Barrack by a considerable number of the more re.. spectable inhabitants, who recapitulated to him their . grievances, and told him, that if he did not immedi ately put the Gammr in arrest, an insurrection woulditneak out, and all the blood that would be .spilt must lie on his shouldets. They implored him, in tie name of every thing that was sacred, to direst it forth his hand and save the Colony from bloodshed, anarchy, and contusion. Colonel Johnson said he would do any thing for the preservation of the set tlement, and tor the happiness and security ► f the Colonists. Mr. M'Atthur, who had been liberated tram gaol by Colooel Johnson, on his arrival in the town, then drew up a requisition to the same effect, calling upon Colonel Johnson to put the Go vernor Under arrest in order to save the Colony from all the horrors of insurreCtion. This was signed by several of the most respectable inhabitants then pie sent, and handed to the Colonel ; who viewing, as he said in his defence, with e deepest concerti the threatening dangers which sorrounded, he resolved u l on a measure which appeared to be the only one vaxulated to evert - the impending calamities, and under all these cirrumstances, ant for these reasifils, he accordingly put the Governor in a state of attest.

LISBON PAPERS. 4I rll, MAT 26...--Up to the 22d inst. nothing further bad taken place in the neighbOurhood of 'Wok*. We Were at that time getting up our hem y guns, to commence the attack on that place. Letters tram Elva, of the 22d inst. state, that the enemy's army, in its retreat, halted in Santa Maria, and that the combined army also suspended its march, and took post at a little distance from the enemy. According to all accounts, SOULT made the utmost etTorts to join all the force , . he possibly could when he proposed to arta( k our army, which is, confirmed by the detachments he drew from all the garrisons and points. The stispen.ion of his retreat, it appears probable, %Vas to refresh his troops, fatigued with their march and with tne 'ataion of Alboera : it was also neces airy tor t:tking care of the wounded, and other in dispensabte arrangements. The French army must have been much diminished in consequence of the great loss which it suffered; and if the first battle had such disastrous results, it does not appear pro bable that it would expose itself to a second action, since that would be its total destruttion. Marshal Rartesvoun, ai the date of the last counts, remained at the head of his army. Lord Wata,moTON was et Elwas. On the 2 1 st, his Ex cellency went over the field, whence he returned, after having wade ins observations and reconnoit- On the that, arrived at Portalegre a part of the division of our alloy, which from the North pasted to the tiontb, and on the 22d another part was ettpeeled. On the day before yesterday, some cavalry which had strived from England landed, and some other corp, of infantry and cavalry ate expetied. Li9RON, MAY the accounts received since the great battle of Allauera agree in praising the gallant condutl at all the troops who took a part in that glorious athon. It must hate hewn to the enemy how' great a harmony reigns between the three Ailied Nations, and with what ardour they con cur in the defence of the sacred and just cause in which they are engaged. The union, discipline, and suaordination which was admired in the battle of Aiuuera, the valour, the tirutness;and intrepidity displayed hy all the individuals of the different corps, of Ore combined Army, producing the defeat of one of the most distinguished Generals of France, has, completely secured our independence. The Army . of the enemy consisted of 21000 infantry, 6000 Ca* valry, and two regiments of lance men. Yesterday it was asserted that Badajoz was in the power of our Army. MAILS.

LONDOIV, THURSDAY, JUble 6, 1811. A /spurt was last night circulated, upon the au• thorny of au American Captain, that another bot tle 'had taken piaci: in the Peninsula but.:it la wholly without foundation, for Governnihot have received Dispatches from Lord WELLIPUITON this morning, dated *the e4th ultitno, which state, The greater part of our Officers and men who were missing, had rejoined the army, and great nuMbers of prisoners !Lid fal;en into our hands during our pursuit at the enemy. Every thing remained in the same state in the North of Pottugal ; it was certain that MAssON►, Juntyr, and LOISSON, had returned to France, and hat MARMON'S' and REONtU had been lett in•com- mand of the Army, We feel the most sincere pleasure in stating, that the accounts train Windsor this morning respeding H►s MAJESTY'S health, are must favourable. A disposition to give credit to, and- to circulate untavourable intelligence, not- unfrequentty defeats the mischiefs which it ie calculated to create. An Opposition Paper of this morning has thought fit to publish, in its leading paragraph, the rumour spread by the Master of a vessel from Alieanr, of Sir 131111 NT StENCIIR being detested on the 24 h ult . . by the army lately conunailded by MAIPigt4A, which had been reinforced by General SUCH IT with 15,000 inert : what time this rumour would take to travel trtr,a , Alineida to Alicant, which is-above 400 miles, and trim Meant, which is high up the Meditetra nean, to the, Office of the 'Paper in que.ti , n, which is at least 2300 miles more, we leave to the writer of the article to calculate, but we think it is'a race against time that cannot be matched in the Racing 'Calendar. This morning some Portuguese Papers arrived.— They state that the heavy artillery had been remov ed from El‘6l to Badajoz, and that the siege of the latter ',lace bad recommenced ;. there is indeed a report that it had surrendered. The other news in these Papers is not very important. SOUL? had made a halt in his retreat, for the purpose Of re freshing his A my and securing his wounded. A Proclamation has been issued by Loki Wit.- LINGTON ►o the people of Portugal, in which, after mentioning .the retreat of the French beyond the Agueda; he says, that although the danger which threatened them has been removed, it has not en tirely disappeared, and cautions them to take early and etfe:.tual measures for the removal of their property arid provisions, in case of another invasion of the French. His Lordship refers them to a Pro clamation which he issued last year upon the s ime subject, and there can be no donut tha► if his Lord ahrip's had been implicitly obeyed, the loss snbtaioed by the inhabitants of that kingdom would not 1 avo been so great as it unfortunately has been, We this morning received the following letter from Heligoland, dated 3 tit May We have had lately ietue arrivals from the op posite coast, which bring no intelligence of im pot lance. From this it appears that articles of Ca toaial proddce are advancing in price, and hopes are held out that ,13UONAFAIITE'S system of Continental exclusion may be a little relaxed. " Thu account of the French troops having marched for the interior is confirmed. A sufficient number, however, of soldiers and douatiiers have been lett at the different ports and depots, to ob. serve what is passing on the coast, and thke care that no correspondence with a British port be carried on, and no articles of .British merchandixe introduced. " In Emden there are stationed QOO troops, a t the island of Notdery 50, and proportionate num. hers at other points, according to their supposed importance. " The King o(SWE . DRY remains at the residence Of EDWARD MenaLs, Esti. How long he nay prolong his stay is uncertain." Just as the last packet sailed from India, Admiral DitUKY, with a considerable naval force, and 1500 troops on board, had gone against the Island of Java; which, therefore, may be reckoned at this as another of our newly acquired possessions in the Eastern world. . , General liattaladim was several limes, during the battle of Albuera, in the most imminent danger, so atttive a part did be take on that memorable day. Whilst encouraging a part of his army, he rode very near to a Frenchman, who was armed with a pike. This Frenchman aimed his pike at the Marshal ; but he averted it by the natural strength and skilful use of one arm, and with the other he seized the pikeman by the throat, dragged him from his horse, and threw him upon the ground ! The pikenm, however, recovered from his fall, and in the very ad of repeating his atm at Marshal iIIikESFORD, he was shot by a dragoon. Another pct of great bravery is related of an En. sign; this brave man, after having been surtound• ed by the enemy, was requested to surrender his colours—" neve surf' MY 1.11 , 31 !" exeliti , nel the hero. But his gallant reply cost him his life—he was immediately put to death, and his colours torn item him. Another Ensign, who was desperately wounded, and of which wound he afterwsrds died on the field of battle, bad contrived to sepsnye his cg lours from the stairo ,and to deposit ttietn in his bosom ! So secreted were they found when his body was oisco vered s end it tiftetvs that with his parting life be thought *1 the trust repthett in him.
