CORUNNA, SEPT. I .—By two Portugues4Vessels,
arrived in this port from-.Figuera, in six days, we
learn with certainly, that the great English Fleet of
187 Transports, with 21,990 then on. board, came
into the port of Figuera on the' 2Qth, 2.1 st, and,
22d of last month, and on the 23d in the mjrning
began to disembark 'but at. forir in the' evening a
Brig of War arrived from the E_nglish, Squadron,
cruizing before Lisbon, with orders tha.t.t he troops
should immediately re-embark, in: order to make a
lauding at CaSCaii, at the entrance of the Bar. of
Lisbon, and about as league from that city. They,
in consequence, made sail on the.24th for that des-

tinril ion.

These- two vessels fully confirm the intelligence
received on the 29th, relative to the surrender of
Peniche, and the capture of 3000 French, out of
the 4000 who were there in garrison ; adding, that
7 or 800 Freriamen, had been put to the .swoia, and
that the whole 3000 would have been in like man-
ner massacred, had not the troops been'restrained by
the English and Portuguese Generals, with threats
of the severest punishment.

FROM THE MADRID GAZETTE, OF AUG. 523.

General DoPotir having written 'to-Don TORIES
p E 17or.LA, pretsing an, immediate embarkation of
the troops that had surrendered, under his command,
received an answer from him, which is *inserted in.
that. Paper,. and in which, the Gov.ernor observes,
that neither the capitulation, nor the approbation of
the Junta, nor even an exptess order from the Kittg,,

could make that possible which is not possible.
" There are not," adis he,' " Transports, nor
a3y means of obtaining them, for the conveyance of

your troops. What can be a greater. proof of this
than tliat we retain your troops here at a great, ex-
instead of ren3ovin.; them to anothFr coun-

penct'
try.

c‘ General CASTANOS, when he promised to oh-
,fain a pas4ort trbal the English for the passage of
your ar.m.,,,„could only .engage to,. solicit 'one with
earnes :Is he has done. But how can your Ex-
celncisuppose that the British Ships u ould
your troops to pass, certain that they were g.'iing to
make I.Var on their nation in seine oiher place.

I cannot persuade myself 'that _e•itlittr General
I CASTANOS or your Excellency would believe that,
such a Capitulation could be carried into effea.

" The objea of your Exe,6llency must have been
to obtain conditions which, though impos.sible,
might do honour to your surrender.. We must,
however, submit to the imperious law of necessity."

tuguese Yacht arrived in this Port from 'Figuera,

and that the Russian Squadron that was in the
Tagus, by previous agreement with the British
General, had fired on the City by this means
affording the ,English Troops an ,opportunity to
land, and who, combining their operations with
the British Arrriy in the neighbourhood, together
with the revolt of the Swiss in the French Army,
