EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM OPORTO, OTH JULY.

" to our Government and measures of public
safe.ty, traitors and iil-disposed -Pot tognese are t..,ken
up and lodged in jail. Yesterday, two ringie,iders,
in the diaboikal plot 'of batttr,ing down part 9f our
City with heavy ordnance!, were apprehended and
carrie4 to prison.

" Report states, that a strong French force is on
its t4i'tirch to ibis City. Should this prove true, we
shall' be joined by those of Coimbra and Figoe, ira, and
ru,af,Frif against. the Enekny. We have no doubt but
we sTildl soon witness the exit of JUNOT ; all the en-
viron9of Lisbon are in arms. •
.By two Exprei.es arrived from Amuea,
intelli-
gence basbeen received of the arrival of 3000 French
in that place, who were jetted by GenelallnsuN,
in order to
_assist in. the execution of the plot above
mentioned.

" The first battalion- of Viana marched this morn-
ing, and a ill be tbilowed, in the course ofthis day
by the second battalion of Oporto. How will the
lirenCh stare to see the latter Regiment opposed to
them,
,which was so ill-treated, disarmed, and dis-
banded with infamy, by.R:soT's orders, in Caldas
du ilf.zinka."

ANOTI-lIN LETTER FROI‘I OPORTO, SAME DATE.

" All intelligence we obtain is of the most pleas-
lug nat,l:-2. Letters which w ere yesterdtly received
from Spain state, that the French army in Madrid
has been defeated, and that illuitAr has no more
than 20,000 men
" General LOISON, was on his march from Bra-
, ganza to this City, by the way of Amarante, hut the
people of Banga, Gusmaraeris, Dowra, and Villa
Real, formed a junction, attacked and defeated him.
•He fled to Almeida, with the loss of his baggage, ar-
tillery, military chest, and 600 men killed,wounded;
or taken prisoners.
The correspondence between this City and Lis-
. t?C;il is suspended, lest the French, who still occupy
the4tilter place, should beMade acquainted with our
plans3mdoperations. The sequestration of English
property,.ordered by the French, has been removed,
and al Convoy is ready to sail for England in a very
shOrt:A't jibe.
It is certain that the Spaniards have lately in-
tercepted Dispatches intended for Juwvr, which
it,,apiears, that a considerable ferment prevails in
. and that parties are forming in that Country,
ijndicate a strong disposition in the French
people fo,rise againsrthe great Usurper of Europe."
We have received several interesting Proclamations
and Man&sioes published by the Supreme Council
of-Governinent in Oporto, on the loth, 20th, and
24th of last; month, which declare the French Go-
vernment entirely abolished and exterminated in
Portugal, and that of the PRINCE REGENT restored.
They. breathe id general the same admirable spirit as
those lately published in Spain. ,

Government have issued .orders .for the immediate
shipment of t 0,000 barrels of powder for Spain—
each barrel is to weigh t oulb.'weight.
A plot had been discovered, in which many of
the Frenchified inhabitants of Oporto were con-
cerned; and the ,city wou!d have been burnt to
ashes, but for a seasonable detection of the diaboli-
c& design. The Portuguese engaged in the plot had.
all been arrested, and were expected to be tried and
executed in a few days.

Yesterday a' Captain in the Portuguese Navy,
dressed in his full uniform, appeared upon 'Change :
in his hat was a green ribnand, with white and
gold letters, and the words Viva Principe Rcgente
round his left arm was a bandeau, with the word
Vengeance, in black letters : the novelty of his dress
atttaeled an immense concourse pt people.
Saragossa, where the Spanish Patriots are known
to have gained a vialory over the French,' is a place
famous in the history of Spain for the great vi&ory
obt:,..iged there in the 15th century by FERDINAND
of 4tragon over the Moors, 'of whom immense
nuopers were ~Slain and thrown into a chasni-of the
Mountains,. 'Which has ever since been called El
Bar' ranco'de los Mnertos, the Ditch of the Slain. The
French have also some reason to remember it,
