of 180 sail. passed the Belt, standing to the North-

gates had a very smart engagement with four of our
gun-boats, commanded by Captain-Lieutenant

It is here generally believed, that the misfortune
which befel the convoy commanded lay Captain
Gatosolo. and more particularly the unfortunate
action off Ainamea. in conscque-we of which, Cap-

MONDAY, SLPTEMBER 17.

A Lisl.on Mail arrived lalt night, with Spaniels
Papers to the gad] last. and Portuguese to the c2d
'mutat. A private letter from Li.bnn states, that
the 'reaches w.-re opened before Almeida on the
34th. and that it fat on the night of the 37th.
The blowing tap of a magazine is stated as one of
the immediate c muses of this event, which is suspect-
ed to have hero brought Simi by trmehery.—
This intelligence rest- entiiely on the enthitrity of
the private letter. We m-ty a:lowed to itioltilgp
a hope that it 16 not true, as it is stated in one of
the Lisbon Papers, that the enemy had not opened
his Are nn the place so late ss the 26th.
The latest intelligence from the army. in the
public print., a dated Guards, Stir 38th. It st ars,
that t ee eruy ha I evacuated Pinhel.and that NiAs-
-11Ell• hail his head-quarters at Fort Conception, in
the vicinity of which the main body or his army was
stationed, leaving sixteen thousand men to carry
on the teige of Alin•ida. Lord WLLLINGTON
had his head-quarters at Alverca. The lath
.Light Dragoons were widtiu four miles of Al-
meida, but almost all the rest of the British
forces were at Guards and Ccl tiico. and the whole
could join in eight hour.. The insurrection in
Biscay and Navarre, it is said, every day extends
itself and becomes more formidable ; and the French
having withdrawn the greater part of their troops
from Leon, Valladolid, and Benevente, these
places have beret entered by Spanish parties.
We regret to find it stated, that Rom•N•lial been
defeated by :Monica, near Merida.

known to be Poland. BONAPARTE. had lately 'erica.
