LISBON, Ala. -S.—According to accounts from
Badajoz, of the. 3 I:41 of -.lUly; the French have sent
3000 sick from the Isle of Leon to Seville; the); hav,e
atgreat number of
.sick in that city; ,almost all ortna-
lignant fevers, and numbers die
.daily.

LISBON, AUG. 4..--Our brave fellows under_ Ge-
neral •CitAi”ORD Betliiilly beat the French,, and
kept possession of the field of battle, but. afterwards
retreated-. The enemy left upwards of 700 men
gnd thirty officers on
.the
,scene of action. Lord
'WELLINGTON was at Celorico on the 9 t —Gene-
nil Hat: near puarda. The enemy is bt-tween
Celorico and Almeida, which pike they we're be-
sieging-; it is defended by two Portuguese and one
BritiSh'.regiment, u4der, the command 'of, --
Cox.

OrnßTo, JULY is said that 13,000 of the
Imperial uards, have arrived at Burgos : these, it is
supposed, must be the force whichlwas at Castro-
poi, and that they have retrograded to Burgos. We
may shortly expe& to hear of their being at Ciod,id
Rodrigo; no doubt they will be sent to the south-
ward to assist REGNIER. LOISSON is at Gil!egos,
and Sir B. SPENCER at Alverca.

:JULY 29.—1 t is reported here, that 25,000 men
are on the'roUte for Braganza, to enter Tras los
Monies.' The Portuguese troops are ready to march
at a moment's notice. We every instant expea to
bear of a battle.having been fought. PORIIER has
been obliged to embark his band ,of patriots from
Biscay;

JULY 31.—The campaign was opened last Wed-
nesday, by. LOISSON attacking on the .bridge of Coa
the light brigade under the orders of ,Gen. CRAW.•
FORD.. LOISS9N had 7000 infantry, 12 squadrons
of cavalry, EtOd 14 pieces of artillery ; CaAwi'oan
the 52d, 43d, and 95th British, and Ist and 3d Por-
tuguese-light infantry. The action commenced at
five, and lasted till ball-past nine. It was extreme-
ly sharp, and • more resembled a general battle than
skirrnish., We lost 251) men and 23 officers.—
The Portuguese fought like lions, more particu-
larly the -3d, • Colonel ELDER'S regitnent.,: On
the 20th the enemy entered Pitiliel ; on the
28th Francoza,;-, we ace, therefore, now imhowly
expeclation of hearing of a ~general aelion, and
Guarda appears to be.,the most-desirable and best
position for our army. Our -last letters from Cdo-
