Tuz details of the glorious victories obtained by
our gallant army in Portugal, were this morning
published: in a Gazette trtreordinary; which we
have given in our preceding columns. The great
length of the Gazette, and of the extrads which
we have made from the Spanish and PortUguese
papers, reader it impossible for us to comment at
any length upon the brilliant success which has
.at-
tended our arms, We cannot, however, avoid ex-
pressing our satisfadion that General JUNoT deter-
ruined to try the fate of a general anion in the field'
If he ,had been besieged in the Forts by a very Su-
perior force, and compelled to surrender, the con-
sequences, it is true, as tar as relate to the 'delivery
of Portugal, would have been the same.; 61.1 t .%;e
should not have had the opportunity of giving ano-
ther proof, that, in the open field, our Soldiers are,
in point ,of discipline equal ; in point of real courage',
superior to the French. Our Armies hive now had
several opportunities of measuring their strength with
the boasted Le;ions of BiJONAPARTE, and, tu,every
:instance,-we 'have been victorious.

Intelligence of the surrender of iNNOT and the
Russian Fleet may be hourly expeded. After such
'a defeat he could hardly think of airy ftirther.fesist•
ance, by which he could at the utmost only p'rd;-:
trait his SUriender' for a very feW days.

Government hive received accotnts thAt General
REDING }add advanced to Madrid, and that Casra-
tos was shor,ly -eipeated there, for the purpose of
Making arrangements for the establlshment àf a
general :Government.
We are happy to find that the inhabitants of Cuba
have exprei3ed welt. determination to support (their'
lawful Sovereign. Their example, we have nailonbt,
will be followed by the other Spanish Colun4.

A Letter has been 'received at 1•100Ye5, frOln
Oporto; dated Aug. 28, which states, that the Preach
Army under General 'JUICOT had evacuated Lisbon,
after plundering the place of „i 3 Waggon Loads of
Valuables, and on the v4th had an attion with the
trit.ish Army, in which General toisos and -4000
French were killed; Genersl JUNOT and the rest of
bis Army taken Prisoners. Upon the Feench eva•-
cuating Lisbon; the Russian Fleet hoisted Portt.i
guese Colours..

Governnient haft not received any intellizente Of
the above.

THE glorious accounts from Portugal; which we
had yesterday the pleasure of submitting to the Pab-
preVerited us from Making a few observations on
a very important article Which we also inserted yei-
terday, on the authority of private letters, respect-
ing the opening of the Ports of Holland for the ex-
portation of all goods to this Country, except Bark
and Hides. We have received accounts from other
channels which induce us to believe that this very
extraordinary event has aaually taken place, and as
it is to be considered as a concession on the part of
the French Tyrant; it shows that he begins to be'
apprehensive that the violence and oppression with
which he has treated other States, is likely to be pro-
ot an alarming change in the dispositon
.01
their respective people. The truth is, that the De'tch
Were reduced to the lowest state of misery, and that
desperation was likely to ad like the nobler leeling
of natioiml sp.r i, avid unless the Tyrant had made
S 'me cc ncesson, with 4:spet to their commerce, a
general insurrection would most probably have been
the result of a perseverance in his former rigonr.—
From what- we hear, however, ^a spirit has arisen
in Holland, since the events which have taken place
in Spain, which will require still greater conces•
lions, and as the Tyrant yields, which it is proba-
ble he must do, the energy of those whom he has
80 long oppressed will proportionably increase.—
But what is still more important, we have seen
letters of a recent date, from .Paris, which,
in spite of all. the rigid precautions adopted
by BUONAPAItTeS agents in, that ,capital, .end
'all the swarm of spies with which 'it aboUnds,
have found their way through Holland into this
country. The .contents of these letters manifest a
spirit that could only arise from a knowledge of his
failures in Spain, and a confident hope that his
Power is in its wane. It is not impossible, whatever
may be his pride, that the fruStration of all his views
in Spain, and the eve& of affairs in Portugal, may
have induced him to think some relaxation of his
severe'vstem of Govertunent necessary at home as
well as in his dependent States, and such istfhe
flexibility of •Frenchmen, and their pronene'ss to
thane, that they would Inca probably have bLia

tired of their Usurper, even if he had 'not kep4.
them under-a heavier yoke than. they ever et:(lthe4
under that. Government which they so, furiou4
