" Piahsl, loth May, 1110.
" I kern by the English papers that you are in
dsily expectation of important news from this part
of the peninsula, you may inform them that it is
probable a considerable Nine will elapse, Wort ho
much blood shall be shed in a conflict with the
enemy, as there was in the late attack of the military
upon the London mob. We were alarmed on the
eveuing of the 26th. by the report of several cannon
in the di rectiou of Almeida. purities were sent for•
ward. who [mind that it was a salute which was
fired in compliment to Lord Wellington and Mar-
shal Bercsford, who had arrived on their return
from visiting the outposts. His Lordship and the
Marshal passed through this town on Sunday. on
their way back to Celerieu, which is still the Head-
quarters. There is no rumour of any movement
on the part of oar army. except four companies or
the asth Regiment and the 9th Regiment of Mr-
tastiest.. who are going to ocrnpy Fort Conception,
two leagues is freest of Almeida. There are about
7,000 French lying within a wile of Cuidad Rod-
. rig*, but re attack has yet been made. It is posi-
tively aaserted that there are not 10,000 French in
Old Castile. The communicutiim with the city Is
orgy cm this side, several ofilt ris from the army go
there on 'portico &pleasure. Our army is dt pre-
sent very beeltity."

LONDON,
TUESDAY, Julia 26.

The Princess Elizabeth packet is arrived at Fal-
mouth, with a Mail from Lisbomafter a passsgeof 10
days. The accounts btought by the picket express
a confident opiuionathat a great battle will shertly.be
fought. It is said Masse 4 had issued a Prochiem•
Tian to the Portuguese nation. in which he styles
self King of Portugal," calling on them to drive
out the pettidious English and surrender to him,
otherwise threatening to desolate the country aith
tire and sword. As his army appears to he straitened
fur provkions. aud he is apprised that Lord WEL-
LINGTON expects strong reinforcements, it is pro-

habte that he would not long delay au attn•k. I t
grill probubly tare place before the expiestron of
the present tumid'.

The importation of wheat and flour into Liver-
pool within the fortnight ending on Saturday.
amounted to 16,915 barrels, 1.215 half barrels, flour.
and it 0,772 bushels wheat. The holders of wheat
having demanded, on Tuesday last. as high a price
aeon that day es'anight, very little business was
done.

A letter from Liverpool says-woe We have infor-
mation from America of exports from thence to this
country, large beyond all former precedent, in cot-
ton, flour, and corn, especially. Perhaps it it not
over-rating the matter, if we say more will arrive in
the next two months, than at any former period in
six. livery slop too brings large orders for "alum-.
factored goods."
We have also the 'demure to find. from the pro-
vincial papers received yesterday, that a good deal of
rain fell last week in the northern comities of En.r-
laud, and also in several part% of ticotlend. from
—which the harvest will derive great benefit.

to have displayed DO 121l'Util, and to have towered
him in public estimation. With a view, prnhublr,
to retrieve limiself, we iimieritund he is preparing
to 'address the Court in person, us on his trial. The
