LISSOM, JAN. 2P.

We have received the most ,atisfuetory intelli-
gence from the two northern provinces of Portugal.
The inhabitants of those provinces had no sooner
learned that the French troops had entered Galli-
cia, than they took up arms with that ardent en-
thusiasm, which belonged to the heroic founders
of the .Portuguese Monarchy. Onlers wire im-
nveliately Kiven to procure the necessary money
for repairing t 1 fortifications of Valenga soil
Chsv; utwl, we trust, should the enemy have the
ti incri;:,• to attack them, they will meet with new
znaragrwsns iii the Portuguese territory ; and
though Oporto in already slip/died with all sorts of
unlitary stores, yet a yacht was this day sent thither,
entirely laden with powder and bull, to complete
the armament in the two above provinces.
Yesterday, another vessel set sail for the seine
destination, and will this day be fol:owed by u third.
also artui.rg with the utmost zeal. The
sixlern ;•••,;•%, or forty-eight battalions, formed
Liv its numerous inhabitants, err daily exercisim!,
owl seventy ,Lf.ces of cannon have been taken
gnus due arsenal, to be mounted on the most im-
portant ;. ands of defence.

mand of Major-General Lustro.a, has othretueed to
Truxillo.

Account• from Bads* state, that the army of
the Duke d'lnfinitado already exceeds 40,000 men;
that of Arragon 30,000; and that of Estreimulum
20,000 ; those of Aiidalusia and Catilouia are
said to have increased, but their number is not as-
certained.

Isief ordered 4000 men, under the command
of Lieutenant-General Don .10,1011 Chemin', to

The General esecuted the commis:Mu entrusted

distinguished themselves with their accustomed
valour, while et the same time the Walloons of At-

militia, amid some 114 lit troops, diverted the atten-
tion of the enemy on the roads to Julishu! and Bar-

selves obliged tam retreat to the heights of141:-Gre-

LONDON,
MONDAY• FEBRUARY 13.

La raise frigate, Captain ScuoussaG, arrived
on Friday ut Portsmouth from Cadiz and Lisbon.
with dispatches.—She sailed from Cadiz on the
20th ult. and from Lisbon on Friday senuight.
Mr. WF I. LESLEY Putt; came home in her with di*.
paelics from the the Honourable Mr. 'Vadat:as,
our A•nlas,ador at Liaison. Lord lesvitcti, Col.
Fos•I ER, and Mr. NVAttu, arrived in her from Ca-
diz.—Accounts, we understand, have been received
by her from Mr. Faette. our Ambassador in Spain,
tind from the Supreme Junta at Seville, up to the
ult. They do not, we are informed, com-
municate any news from the Patriots in the South
of Spain. The Junta had not heard of their opera-
tions for souse time. The Spaniards were making
preparations fur the defeuce of Cadiz, and the
Sparkish men of war there were fitting out, should
the approach of the French make their departure
necessary.—Atliniral Pony's, in the Atlas, with
the L:alwarle lVd Votintaire, was lying there. The
St. Lorcata, Spanish litic-of-bottle ship, had ar-
rived from the Ravanualt, with 40,0001. iti dollars.
and a cargo of tobacco. No certain information
had been received either at Cadiz or at Lisbon, of
the battle of Consume, and the embarkation of mar
army. The Portuguese at Lisbon, we are inform-
ed. daily expected to hear that the French bad
entered their frontiers, but, it i► said, they will not
attempt. to make any resistance to their approach.
—The 27th. 29th, and 31st Regiments, under
the command of Major-GenerallLtciexzic,
had embarked in the Tagus, for tic purpose of
proceeding to garrison, Cadiz.—They a ere to sail nu
the sth instant, under convoy of the Setnir.unir,
Capt. GRA NLlgit.—G..ll. CA Si ERON'S dlsi ioll of the
army had marched into Lisbon from Oporto, also
to embark, us it wit) understood, for Carliz.—The
40th ltegt. was on their march from Fort Elvas to
w:10:-• of our army in Portugal was
considered safe.—There were plenty of shipping
in the Tagus ready to receive them on board, in
the event of it, becoming necessary to quit the
country.—The Coatitterus, 74, Admiral Balms-
LEY. Captai FGLIMIN ES ; and the Gauges, 73, Cap-
tails II iLILLTT, were in the Tagus.—lt ass said to
he the Admiral's intention to burn all the ships
that lie cannot bring away.
La [wiry, on Sunday se's-might, fell in with the
Preach Natio e,l .hip Ifrbe, of 18 24-pounders and
t.‘o long t•Aelvcs, on her main-deck, which she
captor, a t witaug fight of twenty minutes.
She has sno barrels of flour on board, and was
bound to St. Domingo.

We have received Dutch ai.d German papers,
~to the •:wth last. from which we have made some
extracts. They are of little intrinsic interest, but
even although they were of an opposite description,
our attention hits been so long directed abroad,
almost exclusively to Spain, and it is now so wholly
engrossed by :Um CLARKE at home, that the Con-
tinent of Europe, and the imbecility and misconduct
of 1-lis Mese'Ty's Ministers, scarcely occupy a mo-
inent's care. Of Austria, and even of Russia, we hear
little or nothing. Tile one is silent soil prostrate ;
the other, active only to purposes of subjugation,
as the instrument of BUN APARTM. Prussia seems
to be even no longer estimated as one of the exist-
ing Sovereignties, though nominally preserved
among the ostensible Monarchies of Germany. One
of the Ministerial Papers has even almost asserted,
that the motive of the King and Queen of PRUSSIA'S
visit to Petersburgh, recently undertaken, is pre.
parstory to the possible resignation or abdication of
Ins Crown by FItDERIC WILLIAM. Incredible as,
this supposition may appear, it is certainly more
than possible, if we reflect on the actual situation of
Europe, and particularly of those provinces which
