which ire observed in the enemy since the action

LISBON, OCT. 23.—0 n the igth instant a fleet
of transports arrived from England, with artillery,
ammunition, and clothing, and about 1000, troops
to join the-broken regiments.

Lord WELLINGTON IS still here, but we are in'
daily expectation of his setting out to jois the
army.

A few nights since one of the Russian line of
battle ships (a 74) that remained here on account
of her not being able to proceed to England with
the others, took fire. After slie parted from, her
moorings she floated for some distance down.. the
river, and excited considerable alarm for. thb-sdfety
of the shipping; she was however towed on Ante,.
and exploded without doing any damage.. The
people who were on board were, all got out and
we have not beard of any lives being lost. !the'
scene exhibited by the flames rushing •out of the
port holes, and the three columns of fire extend-
ing to the top of her Masts, was grand beyond all
description. Several of her guns were loaded with
powder,.and went off as the, fire reached them.
SEGORVE, SEPT. 1 8 .-;--The trench' have ahandon-
,
ed Alcarniz; and are on their march for Saragossa,

TRUXILLO, OCT. 15,7--SOULT is at..Talavera de
• tI
la Reyna with 6000 men, sand .4000 more are dis-
.
tributed between Valdeverida anti. `.the bridge of
• •
Arzebispo, which serve as a corpss of observat)on.
The French in Madrid; continue to send to Bay-
onne the principal persons of charider who have any
influence --With the people.s . .
MALAGA, OCT. 15.7.-Genetal BLAKE who, with
thirteen thousand-men, was at Olot, distant -about" '
five or six leagues from Gerona,. proposed to attacl6
the enemy, or to fortity himself in that pace, should'
they prove greatly superior in force.
The army of La Mancha, which certainly is the:
3
most numerous, amounts from 50 70,000 .men,
and its positions are the same as have been before
stated. The army of Estremadura,. reduced to
10,000 men by detachments, to reinfOrckthOse9f-La
Mancha and Castile, is in Truxillo and
and its advanced guards approach the Tagus.

The English army, (whiCh whether it has chang-
ed its position we are not certain) consists of from
30 to 40,000 men, and its advinced guards are, near
the before-mentioned river.

The Duke DEL PARQUE,With .12,000 men, having.
joined SENOR MENDIZABAL, whose army amounts
to 30,000 men is between Salamanca and.Cuidad
Rodrigo.
Thus, if we observe the position of our armies, it
will appear that they -aurrotind and iiut.ise those. ot,,
the enetty; which., united in the centre of Spain, are.
rather reduced to a& ddensively, than capable, of
any offensive operation.-
It is said that all the troopi of. Catalonia, regulars
and Somatenes, in number 40,000 men, are in four
divisions, whose military operations are direaed by
his Excellency General BLAKE.
SEVILLE, OCT. 12.—The organized army of Gal-
licia exceeds 40,000 men, and another of reserve
equally respedable, is forming with all possible ac-
tivity. C.7eneralz&A. xs, after relieving Gerona, has
gone is Hostolrick with 1.0,000 men; General Ca.A.
-PIGNY is between Vick and Olot, organizing an
Army of Reserve 14,000 strong.
The new Catalonian army which, with his Ma-
jesty's;approbation, .is forming in that Principality,
on the plan proposed by General BLAKE, will be di-
vided into four legions.
TRUXILI.O, OCT. 12.—We are assured that the
advanced guard of the army of the Duke deZ PARGUE
are within three leagues of Salamanca, in which
city there are only 700 French. .

Our Correspondent in Catalonia advises us of
the French fleet having sailed from Toulon, with
the design of relieving Barcelona; but Admiral Cole
lingwood, with the English fleet, being in those
seas; it is very probable that he will save it half the
voyage.
RIPOLL (CATALONIA), SEPT. 24.—Subsequent to
the memorable battle of the igth instant, in which
the invincible Gerona was attacked, all the letters
agree in representing that the French had burnt
their encampments and part of the village of Biscol,
-whet' they- had their- head-quarters. No clearer
proof catabe given of the defeat they have sustained,
deplorable condition, and we may also
with reason expe& that they will retire to Figueras ;
since we are assured' they have had some. indication
of the attack Which is about to be made upon them,
for which purpose our distinguished Captain-Gene-
ral Blake has, ordered. every nun from 16 to 50 years
'bf age, capable of bearing arms, to rendezvous at
',Olot and Beiela, under the command of Don Juan
Ciaros. In consequence of this order, all the shops
and. manufa&ories, of this town are shut, their
owners hailing flown to the defence of the country.
Astuaras..-By the Oviedo Gazettes, we perceive
that the army of that principality consists Of Z 2,000
men ; a force in fa& beyond all proportion cow•
pared with its population, and from which may be
inferred the energy, valour, and determined patri-
otism of -its inhAitants. Eleven thousand men,
united to the stnall army of Leon, have already de-
scended
to Castile ; and another division, of the same
strength, is ready to proceed to the" same destina-
tion. [Here follows an order of the Junta of that
principality, prescribing certain rewards and honours
to any person who sh;111 discover the treasonable con-
ne6tions of the enemy.]

.JAEN, OCT. 4.—Our army of La Mancha is eorn
pletely equipped ; and our troops, already accustors.
ed to the hardships of war, will be able to imitate
the enemy, who hitherto has obtained some adVan"
tages on account of his rapid movements.
LERIDA, SEPT. 30.--Lieutenant-General Don
Carlos de Areizaga is about to leave this city for the
central army 'Of La Mancha. ifd interim, the troops
,Qf Cinca will be commanded by Brigadier Dori
Mariano Renovales, well-known by his valour and
patriotism. Thirty Russians have arrived with him,
who deserted from the French army, to serve under
his orders in the valley of Roncal, where they fought
with fugggainst the French, and now perform tI)!
duty of pard of honour to him, he. having given

A Mai' from Gottenburgh arrived • last night, but
he Swedish . Papers, are extremely barren of intelli-
gence. The following is the only article they fort
hish worth-Inserting :
S-rocKnot.m, OCT. 20.—According to letters
from Elsineur, an American ship arrived there at the
end of last 'Month, which had on board Mr. ADA,IO
and his family. This Gentleman, who has bee°.
appointed American Minister at the Court of St,
Petersburgh, proceeds
,first on a diplomatic.mioi°3-
to Copenhagen, where he intends to remain some
tine. The English' Admiral's ship has detained four.
Ametican ships which intended to pass the Sco-lodi

subsequent extract is from, one of them :--

otter oars here, doing absolutely nothing. BUONA'
PARTE has left Vienna, and is expected at Lisle,
where his horses have, already arrived. Almost all
his Marshals have accompanied or preceded him,

Lieutenant Ilativ JOHNSON, late of L'lmperiezise

'minder, by an Order of Council, for his condu4
in Basque Roads where he commanded an explom

The paragraph which lately appeared in all the
Papers, concerning the number of transport ves-
'sels discharged from his Majesty's service, we are
informed was erroneous; instead of 700 ships, only
40,000 tons . have been discharged, making, on all
average of 220 tons to a ship, considerably less than
200 sail. •
