" An extraordinary Courier from Madrid, who
came yesterday to the Count. of LEGHOttN, has
brought him a Letter from the KING of SPAIN,
which contains the information that the left of the
Spanish Army hatl entered Portugal by the way of
Bpdajos, following the line of the Guadiana : that
it had taken possession of QPvenza, of Monte Mag.
giorf, and had surrounkretthe Fortress of Ekvas :
that the Court of Portugal had dispatched M. Pi NTO
to demand a Truce, exhibiting at the same time full
powers to negotiate and to sign a Definitive Trea-
ty ; but that His CA:rmot.lC MAJESTY had ordered
;he Army to continue their march until, as a Preli-

CLE!,IERT, COMMANDER. OP THY. CONSULAR GUARD,
DATED FROM THE HOSVITAL AT MARSEILLtSt 24T1t

MAY,ADDRESSED " TO THE MINISTF,A OF w it."

CITI2IIN mi xis rra,

ti The report which has been circulated. in every quarter of
the Mediterranean, of the defeat of the English twenty days
after the Battle of the z tat of March, and that the wreck of
thei: Army had re-embarked, 4p pors to me the more probable,
beeazve M E u had a great numby cif Forces at his disposal
in dittemnt parts of Egypt ; because the English must have
suilered 'acre in that Battle than the French i and because
u, when reinforced, would have been able to -take every
advantage of the difficult aid tailiappy position of the Eng,
litih Army. '

" The following is the exaa position of the Frenat Army
on flit: 2.ist Niarch—The GRAND VIZIR., IveaLped by the
Plague, without Camels, and dispirited, was still att;j2a.
Mouß An Bev had proposed, with his Mamelukes, and some
Country Troops, provided he was also left some Comppies
of Artillery, and a French Battalion, to prevent the Git ANP,
VIZIP. from making any movement.
" General Rost 11, with three Battalions of the 21d Light
Regiment of Cavalry, two Battalions of the 83th, and ano-
ther of the t3tlk, ill all six Battalions, was on the aast of
March at Saiahie.

i' General BL!..t.t AR. v, with three Battalions of the gth of
the Line, two Battalions of the ztst Light, 3oa horses, and
part of the Auxiliary Corps, was in Upper Egypt.
44 General Mou,s NA, with the 2d Light, a Battalion of
the iZth Light, zoo horses, and a Company of Light Artil-
lery, was at Damietta.

" General !if ENO u cottild trawafore have reinforced himself
bt,tween the 2 tbr of March and theArst of April with more
than twelve Battalions of diflereat Corps of Cavalry and
Artillery.

" These considerations.lead me to give great ccedit to the
rumours which reach us froth all part; of the Mediterranean."

It is unfortunate for Citizen CLEMENT, that the
accounts in the London Gazette Extraordinary come
down to the 22d of April, twelve days later than
- -
the period he fixes for the Defeat and Re-embarka-
tion of the British Forces.

The French Tiers Cansotide are at sq,

A Lisbon Mail has arrived, with intelligence from
that Capital of the 24th ult. In the affairs. which
have taken place between the Spaniards and Portu.
gueze, alluded to in the articles which we have above
extraaed from the Paris Paters, we find that the
Portugueze claim the viaory. Their strength, if
it be correctly stated, is 40,000 men, It was, re.
ported at Lisbon, that the Spantarda had goo killed.

THE steady course pursued by His Majesty's
Ministers seems to have inspired, as it was so well
calculated to do, universal confidence. Whatever
may be the State of the Negotiation with France,
whether it has been finally broken off, or whether,
as some venture positively to assert, it has been re.
rived, a general conviition prevails, that on the
one hand, no inordinate pretensions, in, conisetrence
of recent successes, have operated on the part of our
Government) or ever will operate, as a bar to the
restoration of Peace ; and on the other, that that
moderation, which may be considered as one of the
leading features of cumpresent Councils! will never

mediate termination of the War in which we are
engaged. On the subjea of Negotiation we have,
as our Readers must have perceived, ever spoken
with caution, because we were unwilling to impose
on the Public, by pretending to know, what we are
certain has been exclusively confined, and highly to
the credit of Government, to the knowledge of the
Cabinet Ministers.

The Proposition with which we set out, is
abundantly confirmed by the general disposition and
temper of the Country. Though the difficulties
and distresses of the middle and lower Orders of
People, have been so unparalleled, we have heard of
no Public Meetings even in the Manufafturing parts
of the Kingdom,. to vote indiscreet Addresses to
Parliament, or Petitions to Fits MAJESTY,' for the
restoration of peace, When a perfea convidion
prevails, that the want of it proceeds from the want
of Moderation on the part of France, not from
want of effort, consistent with tile honour and
