Warm woak is expeaed, as the garrison is very
strong, and all picked men. SOULT and MkEMONT

when our letters left that place. The town was
much agitated, and it had been found necessary to
place cannon in the windows of several houses.

-LISBON, MARCH 31.—A letter from the camp
before Badajoz, dated the 27th, states, that a Spa-
niard in the town had permission of the Gover-
nor to depart. On his arrival at the Beglish
lines, he was searched, and there was fund,
sewed up in the collar of his co;:t a stash note di-
retied to the French General Sault, informing
him, that the garrison had only ten days am-
munition left. The writer adds, that in --conse-
quence of this information, it was thought that
the Governor of Badajoz would not stand an assault,
but that, if he did, it would cost a number of lives.
It is said, that Generals Hill and Graham are going
to form a jutietion to prevent Marmont from unitieg
with the army of Sault.
We were in hopes that some of the more re-
speetable characters in the City would have come
forward in order to make a constitutional stand
against the fadion of the Common Hall, who seem
to be aeluated by the same principles as induced the
French Reformers to overthrow the Government of
their country, and, after all the revolutionary hor-
rors, to reduce it to the miserable state of military
despotism, under a 'foreign Usurper. But indeed
that fa&ion have exposed ftemselves • so much in
the eyes of the public, and have rendered themselves
so contemptible by their violence and vulgarity, that
there is the less occasion for any such association as
we have alluded to, in order to detect their artifices
and frustrate their machinations.

BARON GERAMB.—This contemptible impostor
wrote before he embarked at Harwich a most furious
and bombastic manifesto, proclaiming the injuries
which he said he had received from the Brilist) Go-
vernment, and threatening the NatiOa with his ven-
geance. He declares that he will throw himself upon
the mercy of the great NAPOLEON, who, he
is sure, will pardon him for otreting his services
to this country, and he adds, that • he will
make his wrongS resound from the banks of the
Seine to those of the Danube. These wrongs, he
says, were intlieled upon him, not only by the Go-
vernment,_ but by the newspapers, anti he kindly
gives us notice, that he will, some time or other,
come here' at the head of his tremendons Croats.,
and take vengeance upon us. In the mean time he
says he is quitting this country with no other pro-
perty but his sabre, though he brought 80001.
into it. It may atlO:d some satistaaion to his cre-
