The evidence on the part of the Pmsecution in
Lord (IAMISILes elite rinsed yesterday. We have
ceived a report of the day's proceedings, BY ea-
t•azss, wifivii will ho found in our subsequent en-
tails:is. The Court will meet, this day, merely for
the purixwe Of adjourning until Monday, when
Lord (Annicit will eutir upon los defence.

We announced, yesterday, the arrival in the
Down., or the whole of the Port,intnitli part of
the Expedition, etruoantiog to upwards of 100 %ail,
with a Sue breeze hoim the W.S.W. As the wind
continued fair, the whole of the Epedition, we un-
derstand, got under weiKii at an ea►ly hour I tat

cuinetances may require. To anticipate, there-
fore, its precise application, as some of our cotern-
poraries have attempted, would he a vain and idle

speculation.--It has been repeatedly stateii, that
these three grand christens are d,•stiited for three
several poims. One of them ivill be comltacteil by
the Marquis of HUNTLY and COMMfmlore OwEN ;

Some persons have doubted the authenticity of the
A . inistice lot weeti France and Austria, signed at
Zinsini, on the ICth instant. We hail con►idered
the subject, and were prepared to paint nut several
inaccuracies mid iufarrn•ditiea in the instrument, as
published in the (27th French Bulletin, some of
which were calculated to give. strength to this opt-
Mon. From this task, however, we have been re-
lieved, by the arrival of the Bulletin published by
the Austrian Ambassador, in The Berlie Gtnette,
which we insert this day ; anti ithio Inc the concur-
rent tet,:tmoily of several other articles, from public
Journals and private Utter,, front Gerruat.y. Of
t authenticity oftlie A rmist.ce there e:,11 :11 fact be

no doubt; and even those who reg.inled it as a weak
isiventiau of tilt enemy, for the pitriinst of th,traet-
fawner paralysing our exertions, anti pre-
...ll4iiting the depollute of the Expedition, are not
home out by flo.ir onu argument; for, although
the Armistice may narrow the sphere of our
operations, and reduce the nimilser of the objects
of the Emierliritm, it increases the urgency and
i.tiorirtsitee of tli-tie that remain. Thus, if rile

wish we could bring ourselves to feel the truth and
accuracy of the whole of this statement ; btlit the
retreat to Znaim, and the terms of the Armistice,
will not permit us. In these strong and prominent
points, we see no ilece.isity, but what is all on the
side of Austria.
At two o'clock, this morning, we received, By
REPRESS, Portuguese Papers to the 9th instant,
from which we have only time to make the follow-
ing extracts :
EXTRACT FROM A IMITATE LETTBR, DATED LISBON,
JULY 8.
" Sir A. Wellesley is by this time at Placentia.
and you may shortly expect to blear either of a
battle, or that our army is besieging Madrid."
DALLICIA, JUNE 47.
Soult is retiring from Gallicia, by the route of
Puebla de Sanaliffa, where he still was on the .t6th

Villa Franca, proceedilig to Astorga. A divisiou

manded by General Carrera, has already eider.
Corunna---sod, in the vicinity of Ferrol, z de-
tachment of Englisit troops has diseniburk.id. The

EXTRACT OP A LTTTER FROM ♦ PORTUGUESE
OFFICER, DATED H EAD.Q ARTERS, ALSAREZ,
JUNE 24.
" Yesterday evening I went to reconnoitre the
French batteries which defended the passage of the
Tagus over the bridge of Almarez ; they i onsisted
of two of six pieces, and one of four, a hich tra-
versed the high road, an that una a single ',emu
could pass ; and, it was evident, that they were de-
termined to use every effort to prevent Our army
from constructing a bridge of law.; but they were
unable to prevent it, since they retreated this morn-
ing, at three o'clock, abandoning their batteries.
Our army continues in pursuit. and General
Cue'ta is at this tittle passing toe bridge. Our
perfidious enemies, in all parts, leave proofs of
their barbarity and ferocity, by reducing to .ashes
the very towns to which they are indebted for 'sub-
sistence. Minarets and Navalmoral de Placentia,
are now in flames."

u Nit 29.
The latest advice. received front our army con-
firm the intelligeuce, that, on the 24th, it was pre-
paring to cross the Tagus to twn ;soul divisions;
one by the bridge of Arzibisoo. and the min;
that of Almarez ; both had beets abandoned by the
enemy, who. according to accounts reeeited,
taken the direction of the. high road to
perhaps with the design of joining the army of La
11 rocfta. which had alsn taken the same route,
and by this means to avoid the destruction which
a.vaited the two armies, weakened by the co:,n-
uental lasses which they have autfered.—(Dimi.,
Lisioaassr.)

hlocheiled there by the Christina VI f. of 74 gull,
Cwt. Sir J. Vomit, lied the Warspits, of 74 go 04,
Capt. BowtAs.

Among our extracts from the German Papers
is ail account of an insurrection in the, district of
Mergentheim, in the a ircle of Franconia, in favotir
of Austria ; and an article, dated St. Pctersburgh,
the sth instant, stating, that an English squad roA
has made its appearance between llochland and
Cronstmdt, in presence of the Russian fleet, and
that a naval en..agement was expected. Letters
from Pete•shurgh, of the 6th, add, that the English
squadron consisted of seven sail of the line and 20
other vessels—muil that the Russians were misruled
fur the safety of Cronstad t, our ships having et inced
a disposition to bombard it.

When the Commander of the Active caner
boarded the vessel, which is stated in our Dover
letter to hove beet' carried into the Downs, the Mar.
ter immediately produced his trading license. The
Lientemott, however, perceiving the vessel armed,
thought it advisable to send her into port. Oil a
strict examination of her cargo, a Dutch Commis-
sion etas found concealed in a cask. It now ap-
pears, that the original purchaser of the smack was
not Mom! concerned:Two Mach Gent'omen have,
since her capture, auplied to the Commander of
the4ctire, offering the most liberal terms to induce
hint in hush the business. This, however, di lili4llt
be expected from a British seaman, was peretupto-
. rily refused ; the Lieutenant stutile4, that, haveig
sent the vessel into port, and di,pattlu d he. pa pera
to his agent, he ha.: nothing farther to do to the
business. -
Our readrrs may recollect, that, at the com-
mencement of the insurrection in Spain, the /1/szer
zumbrig, then on the Downs station, dispatched ti
bout, with the Sub-Lieutenant, Captain's clerk,
and several men, for the purpose of inakiii4 a lowl-

chat they had been all executed, on v.irious parts

state, is not the fact, a letter haviiix been merit,-
