Letters b ire been received from Lord WEL-
LlanTON'a army to the t3d last ; they were brought
be a transport ves-el grnich arrived on Monday at
Plymouth, with tick pris.mers. from Lisbon. No
change had taken place in the position of our
troops no to that date. The French remained be-
tween the Cora and the Agoedi rivers. Lord Wtt.-
LIIIGTOII adhered firmly to his system of de-
fence in his strong positions; and so little dis-
posed were the enemy to attack him. that it
dors not appear that they had even opened the
trenches beCove Almeida. It is probaLle that the
plan of entering the North of Portugal, ■nd de-
scending in the rear of the British Army, if any
such were ever in coniemplatiom has been atin-
doried. We have not heard for. some time any
thing of JONOT and the force to be employed in
that operation. Colonel TRANT, who had ad-
VIIIICEII with the militia from Oporto to Limego,
under apprehensions of a movement of that kind
across the Douro, had returned to Oporto.

We have received Bartirdoes Papers to the 21th
of July. Si► GIOIMIR BUCILWITU was moment icily
expected from St. Luria, to assume the office of
Goreviior of the Wand. Great preparations were
making for his reception. The hurricane oenoon

We have ►eceived Gcrman Papers to the (26th

uitiphant.—Ou the 23th of July, the English at-
tacked a convoy, escorted by five ships of war sad
six gun-last., under the protection of the battery
of Amentea—the firing hoed six hours. The
enemy's ships of war and gun-hoots were ■ll

made their escape on shore. The English then
lauded a fore- of from 7 to IWO men, under the lire
of their frigates, who easily m tile themselves m u-

In complete the ariiiiiintnt destined for the invss;on

politan arms; which, although it could not with.
stand a superior force, kept up with great gallantry

or wounded (snout side, and nn prisoners taken."—
If this account. which is taken from The linashstrgh
Correspondences, be true. it most in a great mea-
sure dissipate our fears for Sicily. The convoy
thus eompletely destroyed, is admitted to have
been indispensably necessary to complete the arma-
ment destined fur the invasion of that island.
