rounta brought by the previous ariival, relating to
ihe increasing embarrassments of tbe mein-hams, in
c onsequence of the total extinction of their trade.
Scarcely a day passed in which some failure of con
sequence wus not declared. Tbe sale c/American
ptopeity announced in our paper on Tuesday is con
firmed, as will be seen by tbe following coqtmuni
cation:
# \ Paris, Sept. 26. \
WV inform you that his majesty issued tba follow
ing Decree on tbe 21th instant:
“ The merchandize proceeding from the Ameri
can vessels which were sequestered in Holland, nn.t
which have not- been already transported to An
twerp, shall be seM there without delay. The Ma
ryland Tobacco, however, which have not yet been
removed thither, may be sold in the ports where
they are. -
“ Such persons as havo- received any articles
whir h made part ot the aforesaid cargoes,, ei
ther on estimate or as securities, shall pay tjie a
mount thereat before the 15th of next October.—
Those lo whom they have been deliveird, without a
previous valuation shall pay tbe amount ut the cur
rent price on the Amsterdam Exchange. The price
shall be settled by an equity before the JOih of Oc
tober, and the payment of the value then fixed must
be made before the 1st November. An inspector
of ttie customs shall be sent to Holland to superin
tend the regulations prescribed by this decree, and
lo report thereon to our director general.’*
vctoner 13.
In the recent attack made upon the allied arm* in
the Sierra de Busaco, almost the whole of the
French army, consisting of the divisions of Ney,
Junot, and Mortier, to the amount of 70,000 men,
were under arms ; only 25,000, however, v, ere en
gaged in the attack. The British and Portuguese
under arms amounted to more than 50,000, of
which hot comparatively a sm^ll part was engaged.
Our line extended no less than eight miles.
Massena directed the operations in person, and
was conspicuous throughout the whole affair. The
different marshals were at the h»ad of their respec
tive divisions. The French could not bring their
artillery to hear, and such of their guns as were
brought into action, were but wdiffVrently served!
From the 25lh to the 27th there had been ronti
ntiul skirmishing, in which the British troops had
uniformly the advantage. The battle of the 27lh
lasted four hours. AHer the battle, Massena sent
in a flag of trute to request permission to bury bis
dead. The request was refused; but they were bu
ried by the British. Besides tbe prisoners which
we have already stated to have been taken, a great
number of the wounded have fallen into our hands.
A flag of truce, with money and other articles for
general St. Simon, was sent to the British head
quarters shortly after the battle.
During these operations, the Portuguese villages
were uniformly abandoned, and every thing that
could he serviceable to the enemy was destroyed.—
The ..British army was abundantly' supplied with
every necessary, and was in excellent health and spi
rits.
We are concerned to mention that letters have
been received from Bombay, rommunirating the
melancholy intelligence of two officers, in the suite
of general Malcolm, having been treacherously
murdered by a Turk near Ispahan. Tbe embassy,
which was only about eighty miles from the capital
of Persia, oil the 24th of May, was expected to
make its entry with great pomp and solemnity on
or about the first of June.
Lucien Buonaparte it is said, is to be allowed to
continue bis voyage to America, and that orders
have teen sent from the admiralty to afford him tbe
accessary convoy thither.
A treaty of peace was lately concluded between
the Portuguese government and the Dey of Algiers.
Fhe former, however, being unable to fulfil one of
its principal and most interesting stipulations, has
published an address, requesting a voluntary sub
scription for tbe ransom of tbe Portuguese slave* at
I Algiers. ■ 2 ’ . v

A dispatch of which the following is a copy, was
received this day at the Earl of Liverpool’s office,
addressed to his Lordship from Lieutenant General
Lord Viscount Wellington, K. B. dated Coimbra,
the 30th Sept. 1810. * ’*
My Lord, ;
While the enemy was advancing from Celerico
l and Francosa upon Vizeu, the different divisions ot
militia and Ordenanza were employed upon their
A.rnke and rear; and Co). Trant, with his division,
attacked the escort of the military chest and re
serve.artillery near Tojal, on the 20th inst.—H,
took 2 officers and 100 prisoners, but the enemy
collected a force from the front and rear, which
obliged him to retire again towards the Duoro. J
understand that the enemy’s communication with
h Almeida is entirely rut:’off; and he possesses uplj
the ground on which his army stands. My dia
patches of the 20th inst. will have informed you of
the measures I have adopted, and which were in
progress id'cdllert the army in Ibis neighborhood,
and if possible to prevent the enemy from obtaining

At six in the morning of tnf 2(lh, the enemy
made two desparate attacks upon our position, the*
one on the right, the other on the left of the highest

had obtained. The other division of the 2d corps,' ^
attacked further on the right, by the road leading if
by St. Antonio de Dantaro, also in front of Major T
