if-ion-lent 'to Place implicit Cbtaidence in these characteristic
qualities pi the Spanish Soldier.
Asision as I vas assured that the answers of the Portu-

Your Majesty's troops, by different routs, penetrated into
Alentejo; and,by the Gth of June got possession of all the
fortified places in that extensive Province.. By their gal-
lantry
,they 'had takeia Campo-Major, st tong I y garrisoned and
well provided fof a Siege; they had ri.uted the EneMy at Ai--
nineties, and at 'Flora de Rosa ; they hi:id-over-run the best
cultivated, richest, and most populous part of the Province ;
they had seized immense Magazines ivhich the Enemy had
formed ; they had compelled their opponents to pass
.the
Talus; not believing theMselves safety till this great river
should be bet Ween thefts and their pursuers: The eleven
Standards I had the honou'r to present to Your Majesty by
.the Officers who., hadshared in the glory-of taking them, are a
proof of the triumphs cifyour Royal Arms.
Our Enerhies, Whom we rather call prejudieed.friends and
relations, could hold out no longer, and.ou the sixth of June
I sighed a.Peace, re-establishing a state of-things which your
Majesty had 'suspended with: so much regret. By the con-
4ineint ,b f. the. Treaty; the Harbours of Portugal are shut
against, English Shipping of every description. The Priva-
teers of lit.:Oat4 wilt thus no longer be able to interrupt our
Csiinmerce and to block hp our Polls, and the chief. ,caetse
wilt be removed Which irritated the paternal heart of your
Majesty against your natoral Friend and Ally.
This advantage, though the.priocipal, is dot tit:: only one
resulting from the Peace.--the great depiits of contraband
merchandise-all along, the .Front'air of Portugal, afforded an
irretistible temptation to the unprincipled to transgress the
laws, and,brought turtny to destruction. All these have new
been inOved° into the interior. The Province of Olivenza,
one of the most fertile iiithe Peninsula, together with its
formidable capital, belongs to your Majesty; thus Estrartta-
ditra is rendered secure, and •Porttigal is deprtv4iof all means
of thrz..,dtei;ing us from behind.
Td thes,-I:di.-aritages it May be added, that the effusion of
the blood Of our CouutryMen 'has been spared, that the ex-
pence of the Expeilitioti has been triting, and that we -have
never Met with the sinallest.reverse

I am far.. Sire, from ascribing these events to myself. • Pro-
vidence, who knows- the integrity of heart and, exemplary pie-
ty.of your Majesty, has brought them about, making use, as
means, of site. valour and- self-devotion of your Troops,
worthy in all respe6ts of such a' Sovereign. • , .
Nevertheless it is to rite an extreme,satisl,6lon' and a singu-
• lar happiness, to present to your Majesty the laurel- and the
olive which have crowned the arms direded by me. 'My
heart is penetrated with
.joy, when I retied that fortune has
atibrded me an opportunity of making some small return' fb,r
the singular favour heaped upon rue by Your Majesties, as a
recompense for my loyalty,' and iny aflthion for your august
person's, and eny liVely and,arclent wishes for the permanence
of your glory and. prosperity..
'•I cannot 'suppress 'a -wish that Your Majesties Will deign
to Visit your Troops,•that you may experience the sweet
erhotion felt by just and benefiCent Princes, loving their Veo-
• ple, and beloved by them, You will be placed in the midst
of an Army animated by valour, 'by loyalty, and by every
national virtue.

But my voice is too feeble, my langnage is too tame to
convey an idea of their sentiments, to exi.iress their impitience
to ace and to salute Your Majesties ; thneir desire to • sacrifice
themselves in your service, and thZir hope to he rewarded
tor their toils,- May Heaven prosper wi,th its blessing all the
designs of Your Majcsides as completely as wishes your most
loyal Subjed;

On Thursday evening a large hole was fortunate-
•ly discovered at the foot of the North wall of The
Mill Prison Hospind, Plymouth, by the there acci-
dent of the stick umbrella of one,of the Officers of
the Prison giving way into apparently -.solid earth,
as heAvas walking by. The masons were called,
and on digging found a board propped upiwith the
gravel of the walk 'upon it to deceive the sentries
and beneath, at the foot of thi wok,, Akre syiis
-found an opening iiitrge enough for two Men to get
-out a-breast. It was, of course,lseeured'and stop-
ped up directly, or perhaps, 'in (the course of the
night, many might have escaped.
A young min, dressed as a Sailor, was found -
hanging in a hedge, in a:.fieldt-near Charing, in
-Kent? a few days ago ; near him was found'on the
ground his -hat, with -a razor and knife an.d fork in
the'lining. Hither-to no discovery has been made
of who he was, or from whence he came:

ing stolen a parcel, containing printed,catton goods,
out of a lighter, and the latter receiving them,
knowing them to be' stolen, Baker immediately
receiVed 'sentence of death,- and Talbot that of trans
portatinn.for fourteen yetrs. Previous to the judges
;leaving the trkwn, Baket's sentence was mitigated,

On Friday evening, as tWo..pnOr boys were going
thr9ugh Hopleins:.street, Soho, they were
.overtaken
by -a brewer's dray, the horses of which, from
.taking fright, were going very fast ; the street be-
ing very narrow, they were unfortunately squeezed,
between the wheel and the wall, and dreadfully
hurt. They were immediately taken to the Middle:
sex Ilispital,
.where, in ~spite of every immediate
assistance, the. elder. boy Survived only a short tin-,e;
the other, we understand, is in a fair way 'of re_
'cover-y. .

Each' night at the Royal Circus, St. George's
Fields, witness the complete'gratification which
an overflowing audience receives from, that truly
Splendid and interesting produaion, The Fire
or Albert, and"RosaH&j together with. the deligh..:
ful Pantomime of the British in Egypt. We find,
however,. that this is the last week but-one of the
present performances; and a new splendid Comic
Pantomime which has been a long time in rehearsal
will be speedily pr:duced.'
