The account which General SPENCER gives of thEt.!
appearance of Portugal promises a speedy deliver-
ance ~f'that country from.its oppressors, and when
the world comes to hear of the insolence, the tyran-
ny, and the wanton barbarity with which JuN.OT 'has
exercised his power in that Country, it will appear,
wonderful that the desperation of the people had not
burst upon the heads of their oppressors before.
The intelligence from Lord COLLINGWOOD is not
less important and encouraging on the part of Spait?..
The ,Spanish General CASTANGS, according to .alf
accounts, is a man perfealy fit for the crisis in
which his talents are called forth. DUPONT not only"
fears the strength and spirit of the. Spaniards.. but
the prudence and abilities of their Leader, and.
therefore. proposed to capitulate on condition that

readeF ixould be accepted.

Outposts were at Aldea de Rio, within two Miles of
the Enemy's rear. The whole regular force under
CASTANOS, amounted to 2t,000 Infantry, 2,500
Cavalry, and a formidable train of Artillery."

country, that the/ bring no information of an inte-
resting nature:

his troops' should be permitted to return, without
molestation, into France. CASTANOS disdained such
a degrading compromise, and 'declared that nothing
btit an unconditional surrender would satisfy himself,
or the' brave people whom he had, the honour of
'commanding. It further appears that DUPONT had
sent his advanced Corps towards Cordova, and had
the mortification a finding that he could place no
dependence on the allied Troops in the service -a
France, as they were taking every opportunity of
deserting, particularly the Swiss ; but what had con-
tributed to embarrass DUPONT still more, had,beem../
the interception of the supplies intended for his Army...

Spaniards, and the remaining six' hundred been.

Dispatches from the American Government to
Mr. PINCKNEY have just arrived in the Ameri-
can Ship St. Michael,: which left' L'Orient on

the 7th inst. and has reached Falmouth. By the
accounts of the Captain of this Vessel, which, how-
ever, are cautiously delivered, it appears that the.'

public sentiment in France is obviously against their
tyrannical Ruler, and will, perhaps, be more open-

ly expressed every day, particularly as French troops,
were hUrried on towards Spain, to effea, if possible,
the subjugation of that Country.

On Sunday evening their MAJESTIES, accorn-
panied by the PRINCESSES, Lords and Ladies MAC-
