TUESDAY. OCTOBEIt

Govertuneet ars in hourly expectation of Dis-
patches from Lord Was.t.tturros. They had not
arrived at a late bear last night. From private
accounts, however, it appears. that some change
had taken place in the position of the Allied Arrays
since the writing of his Lordship's dispatches re-
ceived on Saturday. His head-quarters had been
removed to Arguils, one league from Bueellas ; the
right at Abuser., on the Tagus; the left was at
Torres N'erloss; the centre about Sebrule, occupying
a line of five leagues in extent.—Affairs of posts
were hourly occurring, in which the Portuguese,
under General CoLe, distinguished thernselveX ; as
also the piquet. of the Duke of BRUNSWICK'S
corps, who are peculiarly Awed and particularly
expert in that seri of warfare. in one of thest
affairs, Capt. HARVEY had received a bad wound
in the ann—it is feared that autpiatatiou must
take place.

IVe received last night French Papers to the
12th, and Dutch to the 14th inst. but they do not
contrin any intelligence of interest.

Mails are arrived from Cadiz and List)Ou ; the

They state that Ito•aA%.t %. as crossing the Tagus
with about 10,000 Spaniards to join Lord Wet-
N GTO N, and that MoartElt had joined MAMMA
with about an tios' number. Tile allied troops
were within the Mafra lines, and the enemy all al, mr,
their front. A battle was soon expected. "It
will," says the Lisbon Paper. " be a battle of
giants." The number of inhatatinits which dad
Sal berm:: the ;unties into Lisbon is estimated at
40,000. The excesses committed by the Prem.},
oit their lice of march were horrible. The Cadiz
Papers afford nee proofs of the spirit of the cans-
try, the activity ti,e Gueralles, and the iadig,natioo
of the prople against the invader.

We announced cesterday the arrival of New
York Papers to the iGth last, and stated the prin-
cipal part of their substance. We this dq give
