Spain and Portugal-Whether it be
true 'hat nut army is retreating, I know
not; nor can any fine in England, perhaps,
tell what is likely to happen in Portugal
within these few weeks. Speculations are
useless here ; but, a /act or two may be of
some use. It was, a tew days ago, * s*a»ecl
in the London news papers, that baron Dou
ro and viscoum Talavera’s army consisted
of only 25.000 men ; and that as to the Por
tu%ur se army, no one knew any '/ting at all
of its existence. So then, if the baton vis
count were to be beaten ; if lie were to be
most confoundedly pummelled ; threshed
like a blighted sheaf ; or were to get off with
** Devil take the hindmost,” as the parole of
the day ; it any thing of this sort were, un
fortunately to happen, these writers are pre
pared to say, that lie had only 25 000 of our
troops; and that, as to the Portuguese ar
my .it was nothing at all. It would, to be
.... „ .ilwc lUi> aouminaoie even for
these writers to make such assertions ; but
j lest they should be tempted to do it, let me
I remind them before hand, that the people of
I this kingdom, those of Salisbury, Dublin and
Cork not excepted, are now actuallu fiau
mg 30 000 Portuguese troo/is. There
ought, then, to be some army in existence •
there ought to be something of a “ tangible
shape there ought to be something' able
to fight too for all IhH pay. Front a state

This IS Stated as the allowance fur a year_
Here is pretty nearly a million of our money.

guese equal to one sixth of what is annually
paid tor the maituenance of all the poor in

other, are nearly/br/y times as numerous as

out of the mind these reflections, it i,, I |lum

ought to be something visible, at least for
this 980,000 pounds a year. Come, come

In the night between me 5m and 6 h in„
stant. the guards in the Theatro del Prin
cipe were doubled ; and a the moment the
• King went to his palace, the whole garri
son was under arms, occupying ail the
squares and avenues: A council of state
was held ; the rounds were gone by Gene
ral Belliard in person; and in sliort, there
was a great confusion all the night, which
was increased by a storm, and torrents of
rain, which lasted ’till day light. 'I'lit i
cause of this extraordinary disturbance, was:
said to ho the advance of some parties of i
brigands to the palace called Casa del Cam- •
iP°* and 'he gates. It even appears, that!
.there was some fermentation in the Retipo. i
; 1 o cover .their alarm, they circulated a thou
! sand stories, endeavoring to make us l»e_
lieve, «hiu the life of the king had been atl
tempted iu the Paluce, or rhai it was intend
ed to surprise and carry him off at the
play : and to give this better color, all the
houses adjoining tothe theatre were search ,
cd, and several persons inlinn into c:'">
for discoursing in their own houses" wi the
topics ot the day.
Governor Belliard, speaking at his table i
ot the late lire at Paris, is sain to havemut- !
tereil in a low voice, but «o <s io be over
heard—the intrigues of Josef thine !

has been the division of Spain into four
parts, which are to be under Sebisiiani j

ing to Masseaia.
Joseph pretends, that his brother has ent
rot him, and that he cannot do less than
obey him ; at least, this is what is given
out to the people here
This evening those who take care of the
t-ipestry at the palace, have received or
ders to take it down and pack u up • aiuj
at he same time, the whole of the usual c
