Two transports arrived this day in this port,
which parted company with the convoy of about
30(0 sail, on board of which are our troops esesped
from the North. They are well dressed, inured to
war, and in high spirits. When they distinbarked
from the above two transports, they kissed the
earth, and exclaimed Long live Ferdinand VII. !"
The, whole regiment of Asturias, and those of
Guadalajara and Alg.irve made the most vigorous
res.ataties to the French ; but as the latter were in

A periodical publication, called The Court Ga-
zette, is eh •7itlated in the French array, the author.
of %Inch are •Che mane who conducted The Diary
of Madrid in the time of Murat. IV hen we say
that it is under the management of the French, it is
needless to add, that it contains only extravagant
falsehoods with respect to Spain. The Monster of
iniquity, the Cabinet of St. Cloud, wishes to per-
suade the French and foreign natione, that the
Royal Family of Spain made their escape, and
took refuge in France, because the Spaniards rose
on them and wished to exterminate theist. They
who are acquainted with the running, perfidy, and
wickedness of this Government, Cannot be surprised
at this ; but those who admire Napoleon as a Tute-
lar Angel, and as the favourite of fortune, must be
aston►.hed when they Learn the glorious efforts
which- the Spaniards make to prevent that Atrocious
Emperor from farming his dytinsty on the ruin of
that of Randll) in Spain; and from completing his
plan by devtreyft; that family with still greater
perfidy mid wieliefiness than that which lie prin.-
, need towards the tinfortimate Duke d'Engliein.—

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

Extract ar a Letter from nn Officer in the tat Battalion of
the; tat, or Glasgow Regivaeot, now in Portugal, doled
lath September, 16013.

" The drubbing we gave the French on the 21st
ult. iu which the Glasgow Highlanders had the
humour of participating not • little, will, long be-
fore this reaches you, be sufficiently known ; yet, •
few particulars relating to that day, which we have
learned from the French, may be acceptable. They
had in action 14,000, with a reserve of .5,000.
, Of the former they lost 6,000, in killed, wound-
ed, and missing. Their famous 70th Regiment,
mad BOPI•PARTE'S favourite corps, had two Bat-
' talking edgaged, 1600 'tiling, of which only 400
returned to Lisbon : the Ist Battalion we had
opposed to us, and the id, I believe, to the
30th Regiment. The French complained much
of having met a d—d Scotch regiment, that played
the devil with them; and, in truth, we did it. It
would have renewed your years to hare seen the
Highlander::—they despised the idea of standing
to pop at their foes, but rushed towards them like
so many tigers, calling upon each other to hansel
handsomely their new title. In the course of this
mode of adiance, we met with three fresh columns,
but they did not for a moment check our career ;
in short, I think they must have thought us mad.
Every ether regiment engaged, I am told, acted
most nobly—they were the 3641 i, 40th, aahl,soth,
52d, Sth battalion 60th, 71st, Sid, 95th, 97th, and
.2il battalion 9th ; Royal Artillery, and four or tire
Foinpaivies of the 10th Dragoons.
