Alontiolv is ettll invested, and I have not the
small. st doubt it will at least hold out three weeks;
and that three more will expire before the enemy
1;1 dare to attempt to advance further into the
country than l'ioiliel and Frznensa; for the mo-
ment they rows those plains, their cavalry will be
useless. Anal as fur their attempting the passage
of the route Morena, it will be a most difficult
task, and, in my opinion, impossible. It is out of
the eitirstion their being able to flank for
Balthazar his twenty thousand militia under his
conotoutiod in Tra los Monies and on the Minho ;
they are line troops: and should it happen that
the enemy were to penetrate into Ills country
by Braganzs; they will be most strention,ly opposed
at every river and at every pass. General Leith
will 'stymy's cover the right flank of our army. The
enemy has about 1,700 font and :DM cavalry near
liraoanza • they did not burn the Palace of l'auhel.

LON DON,
TUESDAY. AUGUST 29.

The Ville de Milan, Sir Itoseter LAURIE, is ar-
rived at l'intsniouth. front Lisboa, with dispatches
from Lord «'i:LLIeuTOIs, which were received yes-
terday by Government. They are dated the s:h
inst. at Cel elm which still contiaued the Head-
Quarters of the Allied Army, in which no change
of position had recently taken place. The enemy
had not commenced offensive operations against
Almeida, but th, re hid been several affairs of posts,
all of which terminated in favour of the Allies.—
The Portuguese General SlLll6at attacked and
destroyed a body of French cavalry and infantry at
Puebla, on the 29th of July. The enemy is repre-
sented as being hardly pressed for provisions, in
consequence of the Spaniards hiving set fire to the
corn-fields, and driven off the code all along the
frontier,, which obliges the enemy to make fre-
quent initiations into the Portuguese territory, fur
a scanty supply of provisions.
The letters and papers brought by the Ville de
Milan, are from Spain to the 7th, mut flom Lisbon
to the 12th, on which day she left the Tagus.—
They are in unison with Lord WctLINGTON'S dis-
patches, so far as respect the positions of our troops.
and the languid state of the enemy, who had not
broke ground before Almeida. Loma, who was
understood to be charged with the command of
the army destined for the siege, is spoken of a,
being at Pinhel ; and it is further alleged, that in
consequence of the difficulty of subsistence, the
main body of the French army had fallen back
' I beyond the Coa. How fir this statement may
be deserving of credit in all it, details, we cannot
take upon us to decide; but it is certain that the
enemy neither have advanced, nor do the; appear
disposed hastily to adopt offensive me:nitres. The
mountainous country they have now to attempt,
precluding the use of their ravidry, will deprive
them, it is said, of the main hope and support of
their enterprize. They had, it seems, dispatched
some einissities into the country to collect intelli-
gence, mud to endeavour to excite a French interest
among the people: with what effect is not
mentioned : but that it was likely to be at-
tended wi h some success, we may presume,
as Lord Wirti.tx erns has found it necessary
to issue a Proclainston to pierent it. Ge-
