TZLLIGRNCE FROM TUE ARMY OF PORTUGAL. 4n Aid-de-Camp of Marshal the Prince of Ess ling - , has arrived at Paris. He let out on the 23d of Mdrch, from Celorico, which was the' head quarters. All the magazines which the army had formed, were entirely exhausted on the 28th of February. The forageris, who were seat twenty leagues from lead-quarters, no longer brought in any thing. On the la of ,March, they were reduced to sub sist on the reserve of bist..uiti which could only fur malt fifteen day's fond, and it was impossible t.. wait for the harvest, as no resource could be expeaed from it before June. There remained, therefore, to the Prince of Esslit,g- only ,three !ileasures, to adopt. One was to attack the English in their_ hues be lore Lisbon, but the principles of military tactics Forbad this, inasmuch as his heavy artillery could not be br , ,ught up. Another was to pass the-Tagus to i lorm a junc . thin with the a rmy of Andalui ia, and by that w ea ns opening a contmunicitinn by the great road ,with Seville an;! Madrid; finding his artillery Badajoz, drawing his provisions iron) the Aientejo, chatigirg its line Of overation, ani maintaining the douule tete-de-pont, which the army had construct e d on the right and belt batiks of the Zezere,,at Punhete. General Eble, lib an activity and a title know. ledge of all the'reSources Of his art, whicli did hiui tbelrtsicst .bonouri as we:l .as tt.e artillt‘y, was Pleliarltig to construct 200 bums, W.: might - then, by throwing at once tw.. bridges over the. Tagus, menacing a passage in front of P :nhete, ttfecting one lo aer down op - poaiie Santarem, bearing ih,n upyn the rear of the division o: General hill, which the Englisn kept before Puntrete, .or, leaving the English army at Lisbon, and by a movement upon Leyria, obliging them to recut the division of Gene rat Hillin order to succour Lsbnii ; profiting by this nhiaveinent to throw over a bridge in the envi- rons of Punhete. The Tagus being passed by one . • or other 'of these operations, a ommunication would have been opened with Seville and ivianrid, and we might have been reinforced with all the re 7. sources of the army of And slusia. The third measure which presented itself was to repass the Mondego, bearing upon Guarda, and .opening a, communication with Ciuoad Rodrigo, where where there ware shoes, clothing, ammunition,' artillery, magazines, and money for the army, which bad not been paid fur six months. On tht:Sd of Mareh the Prince of &sling decid ed on the last measure. On the 4th, alt the baggage and the sick were placed on a gredt nutinber tit mule s anti as which were, with the arrhy ) they were sent forward On the road, and gitiried two marches,. The tear-guard was confided to the Duke, of Eicitingeo, who ad.' vanced from Leyrta to Mohano, thteetening to turn the poiitlon .of C irt..xo, On the 10th the rear-. guard was at Month +l. Uursharestiooter., who lemaineti in front of the ifiwn, and the -English advanced guard,, were en. gaged, which gave me to the combat of Poinbal. Our advanced pions reared, and the English iICiVOLIC.. od , ;card entered the a.`‘.% a. The firit brigade of the first divi.iwt ~ t the Doke o' Elchingen charged the euroty .

Our loss amount ed, lo 80 killed and wounded. , Qo the 15th the advanced guard was at Foz de Aroma. Our artillery was in a pnsition ou the right bank of the, Cerra, _winch commanded touch ut the lett babk. We engaged tho enemy very ; adroitly in an - affair of advanced posts, wiich enkmi noised hhn.— We drew httri under,the tire of she artillery on the right bank, whilst the 39th and. 69th charged hitu. *The vitlage was taken and re•takeit az:vela - I times. The gn g lish were exposed to all the tire of our bat teries,-dieorder prevailed to 1. ; 1,14 racks, Lind sooll• communicated itself tine, fatigued with the inconveniencies of such a pOsittou, some fugitive Elighsh arrived at LOOZ4 and l>inherios. The village of 'Fox de Aroma remained with the French rear-guard. . Our loss iiuouuted to 200 men ; that of the enemy to 1,200. An . 'EnBn,h General Officer was killed. This' was the moment, to march .against the Eng lish army, and to ruin it. This resolution was tor an iLu agitated in the /trench artny, but it was the 15th, ind the retreat had commenced on the 5;h.--- We had onlymart hedone and a. half or two leagues. per day, and there only remained peovisions for two or three days at a halt ration. It was, therclure, impossible to stop; there waS WA a day to lose, and the army continued its movement. . On the 17th, the rear guard -had wholly passed the Alva. • - Instructed byth combats' of combats of Pomba!, of Redinh t , 'arid of Foz de Ardrne, the eue:rty nb longer snewed hitbself. These three Combats were ad*,intageons to:thv French army. Nut a single caissun ; ' not a with baggage, not one sick trim was !oft bebind,,lt took t vielve dayB to mat - 0 from Santarem to to the Woks oldie AIVa. „All the triovenientS of the retreat were :calculated, not upon the rnovernents of the English, .but upon the necessity of strosistance. -At length, on ttre . 42'2d, the,. army Vali in the best po,nion, and'lbe soldier's in the best syirits. Con voys.htici set out from Salamanca anti Ch dad Rua.. rigo, and every day the 3rtuy receivt.dciothing, shoes, and every thing th.it was necessary for theta refreshment. Thus , the army of. Portugal has lived. six months Upon the t tesources,olthe.conntty ; it lias changed its place tt, hen all those resonr,es were exhausted, and when the cl.dietilties of transpoit and of roads "left noliope of drawing any thing from the depots.— The months which precede the harvest are in sene ral the most difficult for ,subsiStence, because then the granaries are empty, their ditikuliks have of course existed iti a much stronger degree in: an ene my's country already laid waste. .
