We here been frnvoured w►th the perusal of an
interesting letter from u distinguished Field Oliker
in Lord Wellington* army (who commands the
Lositenian Legime of Portuguese troop%) to his
Friend in Lisburne.

"The next morning (1.76), just as the day began
to dawn, the French advanced its column to attack
the left and centre of our hoe; our division, under
Georg' Leith was moved on to support them
panne; and I can assure you that no British sot.
Biers could advance with more cs;,erness or more
alacrity than my fellows did, and indeed the whole
of the Portuguese Army. As • Freud! colutnu was
advancing up the hilt, that part of the division to
which the Legion belonged, was brought up to
Ilse the heights, and two or three pieces of casinos
immediately opened on them, and did great execu-
lieu ; onluekily foe the laurels we intessakd gaining,
the French cbauged their plan. and went off more
to their Int. and left us quiet spectators of a most

" On the left, where Loaf M'ellington was, this

I every one onpoicted to attack the enemy ; instead
of that we were obliged to art off for Coimbra as fast
ar possible, as the 'French in the night had with-
drawn all their forces, mid were marching to turn
ourleft. A niglitinarell is almost always a con-
fused piece of business; but Mere the immense
ituaistity of artillery and horses, the cars conveying
the wounded, buds Fiencli and 'British, made it
doubly ino, and put all in rage who did not know
the reason of our retiring ; we only just saved our.
selves, for the French entered Coimbra a very short
time after we passed.
" We have had severul sharp skirmisher between
our rear and their advanced guards, all to our ad-
vautage. A snore melancholy sight I never saw its
my life than Coimbra exhibited the dry before the
French entered. I n•rut in to see a family I have
often mentioned Co you, of live doe girl+, father,
toother, had fled on foot, leaving their
house its the greatest confusion, and had set off fur
Lislmn, a distance of above 100 miles.

is Every soul iii Coimbra, one of the largest and
most populous cities in I Antugul, had also fled,
leaving it literally a desert, ;mil a more heart-rend-
ing sight you cannot limey. The order of the Re-
gency was po,,itive for all to leans their houses, take
off all their goods, and leave nothing for the enemy.
The Lisbon road was blocked up with waggons
cars, hors: s, bollocks, &c. mothers carrying their
infants, young girls separated in the crowd from
their tomlies, and every thing in critifusion.—
Oh war ! war ! bow little of your woollies do sol-

two of tile prettiest Nuns of one of the Convents of
Coimbra were happy to get a place to convey them

" For these last ten day* our march ha; continu-
ed without coy halt, and our men are sadly knocked
up. We rested at night under the canopy of hist-
ern. wherever we could get water. None of us
have carrell a house. or had a stitch of clothes off
since the iStli of last mouth, until last night, when
our weather, which had Nairn° been very favour-
able. broke up, and I fear the rain has com-
menced. We were ordered into the village close to
our position, which extrude from Franca. to
Torres Veduas. We are at Rilathlike: and the
arighbouring little villages. Lord ‘Vellington and
