" Vlzeu, MAY 17, 181-0.-I have been here

about a wont!), and am attached to the Commissary
General ; on the thrrd or fourth day after my arrival,
, news came of the French army having been re 'n-
forced, And that they were making preparation's to ad-
; *thi• you maysoppowput us on he Qui Vive;
head quartets %,% etv imm,diately removed ti') Seloci-
. co, and the British and Portuguese armies marched
fcrw,iird. The enemy are only waiting fur the
titer cleric g up to attack us, but for tio-w last three

weeks we have had continued.rain, which in Allis
c.untry is very henty,, and which has rendered the

roads in the trounitt- ins so- bad,- that an artily can
make not sudden mo‘einent, which is what the
French kenetally alto at ; Mass, na has joined them,
and has, his- head quarters at. Saliirudu6a ;.a bntle
must be fought soon, which will in a probability tie:-
cat! the late of Portugal, as it is impossible for two
great. armies to remain in their present pOsitions
without coniii,g to a determinanon of this kind ;
our most advanced post igA,meida, and from thente
the line of defence is continued to Abtantes, PC,r-
talegre, &c. • I cannot precisely 'ascertain the num•
hers in each army, but our' troops are healthy, and
the cavalry In good condition, •which is half the
battle. It IR conjectured thlt the French will enter
Portugal by S:ilvatierra, and thereby attempt to cut
off General Hill's diviii:on, who.se heart-quarters are
at Portalegre ;• he has, hove. et, by tar Ihe host
division of the army, and the I'ren.:ll may expect
tough ork there.
" May is—Nothing new this day."

The following melancholy circumstance took.
place on Thursday at firth :'—A young -man-, who
-was bringing two ninon horses to the City, very im-
prudently fastened the bria., by which he was lead-
ing them, round his wa;st. A, the foot of Dun-
kerton Hill, the hoc-&_s to ,k fright at a heap of
stones, and run off at tul speed, draggingthe man
from the pones on which he wag riding, and -con-
tinued to drag him along the turnpike road between
them, kicking and mangling him in a most shocking
manner. Several of his 'bones- Were'broken, and
after anguishing for about twenty tninutes.,- he died
n the most excrrciating tortures. - •
Lately died, Mr. dad s Give, Surgeon, of Peters-
held, the circumstances of whose' death' excite
respect for his memory, much sympathy for his loss,
as well as caution to the proteSsion. -On the Satur-
day se'nnight previous_ to hi, death, a seafaring man,
who bad been ill a few days preceding, was aracked
whilst at Petersfield with a violent inflanAnition on
I the lungs, and after being 'attended several' !lines
by Messrs. Cave and Whir her, he died
.the next
morning. The Surgeons being of various opinions
as.to the real ca.rse of his death, agreed In opeti the
body, which they did on Mondry morning, and
found the lungs in a complete state-ofputreiattion.'
They atterwatils sewed up the. body, in doing which
they pricked their fingers,' and in the evening boil)
of them were seized with violent pains in the atm,
which soon: extended to nearly the whole of the
. body. Mr. Cave, atter enduring the most excruei-
ating pain-, died on the. following Monday. Mr.
Wn teller is still alive, though f,utlering extreme pain;
but his hand and arm have been opened by several
of the Irtost skilful s.rgenns of the neighbourhood,
and from the metropolis, and a dischage being ob-
tained from the wounds, it is hoped his life will be
Lt% ed.
