In consequence of the late advices received from
Vienna, the greatest efforts are shout to be immedi-
ately made by this country, to renew the war in Spina
and Portugal, as a diversion to Box APARTE'S 111/Ty.
ing his twins into Austria. &cadres GaUulioas of
infantry, added totl.ree trigatler of cavalry, are un-
der oneTti—to be assembled without delay, for om.
barkatiou. They will compose more than 13.000
foot; and we have already above 13,000 infantry
in Portugal. fly the last returns fr,im Mr. Ditem-
magn, 4,700 or more soldiers, who had been left
behind, or who had separated, in the course
of the calamitous retreat from Sa;ntguu to Co-
mina, hail joined our forces at Lisbon, or at
Oporto. The Gallician peasants, as soon as the
army of Snout' had passed on, received, concealed, '
and protected all our stragglers ; who. by this
means, have been enabled to re-join the British
armyin Portugal. Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY is VA
command the forces assembled,• and about to be
sent out totlm Continent, whether it be in Anda-
lusia, Asturia, or Portugal ; be has vacated his
seat in Parliament for that purpose, and also re-
signed the office of Chief-ecretary in Ireland, in
"'lnch he will be succeeded by the Right. Hen.

Austria, it is now believed, must either make
every sacrifice demanded by NAPOLEON, or com-
mence hostilities. She would have begun the at-
tack a month ago, if we had out been driven out of
Spain, just as she was ready to have dt:chired ;
and it is ID order to extricate Austria, ton fur ad-
"woocoil to be able to recede, that we are now about
to send another army instantly to the month. In-
formittion to that purport was sent off, two
days apts. to Vienna, by two channels ; on the re-
ceipt of which intelligence, it is supposed, that the
Austrians will starch into Bavaria, if they have not

-

done so &dreads.
Yesterday a Gendarme arrived from Gijon, with
dispatches for Lord CANTSWAGU. We understand
that they state, that the dietitians are in great
force, and full of enthusiasm, that the Marquis
of ROMAN A, with 18,000 men, has his head-quar-
ters at Villa Franca. rad that the remainder of his
army, estimated at 12,000, is at Logo.

We understand that his Excellency Don Prot o
Cseat.t.os has received certain intelligence that
Saragossa is not taken, or at least was not taken on
the Cith of last month; end that PALAroi 1.1 alive
and in good health. There is certaiul3, something
auspicious iu the r,ccouut in the French and Dutch
Papers, which announced the death of that gallant
General; and the capture of that celebrated city.

The Cadmus, of 16 guns, Cate. Wynter, arrived
on Tuesday night at Plymouth from Cortm.in,
which place she left on the slid last. She sent in a
flag of truce the day preceding her departure, to
inquire after Major Napier, of the 5011. regiment,
which was politely received by the French Marshal
Ney, who permitted Major Napier to return to
England, oil his parole, on condition that if the
Emperor Napoleon did not send for him is three
months, he was at liberty ; hut if he was sent for io.
that nine, he was to return to France. Twelve
wounded soldiers, and 36 women, came in the .
Carfatus; they were liberated by Marshal Ney. The
corps of Marshal Ney. garrisoned Cornune.and
Ferrol. The division of Marshal &mat had com-
menced its march for Portugal.
