TIMRSDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1810

Extract ot a Letter from North Yarmouth, dated
oa. 17.—" His Majesty's slnor:Thiseis, anchored.
in Yarmouth Roads yesterday, with a very fine.
French schooner; her prize, which she has captured
.her an hr;ur's aFlion, th it was maintained on both
sides with the innst determined bravery and sangni-
.nary consequences. The Frenchman had nine
' killed 'and 18 wo,ntied. The Briseis had four killed
and 14 woOnclea., Perhaps in, the annals 'of the
whole war, a more desperate, well-fought ataion, be-
tween two 'vessels ,ofrequal force has not taken:
The Fr4nch Captain' was so resolutely bent!
on pongue,t or death, that even after the schooner
, had stmokher.colours, anti the Briseis's people had
boarded, with" a view to tender every assistance 4o
`their vapcnished opponent, he, while lying on. the.
)deck, shot-through the knee,-rwi his sword through
2 orie of ehe":l3eSt men belonging to the priseis, and
:killed him On the spot i but the carpenter of the
Briseis observing theqranlaaion, immediately threw;
the French C;ptainOverboar[l• Ie Was, however,.
•
'afterwards goatundeservingly saved by Lieutenant
.BEN:ruAta, the hUmane.Commander of the .Briseis.'
Lieut. -is', Lord GARDNEft'S Flag-Lieute-
ifatit, and was Briieis, in whose praise
-every tongue .14 loud, and for whose interest and
rfortime every heart beats high at this
.place. He. is
L .
not-more distinguished by modest unassuming worth
than he has proved himself deserving by deteimined

,pertevering bravery."

The next dispatches from Portugal, which• may
-now be hourly expetied, will probably be of great
importance, bUt we are not quite so well convinced
a► some of our contemporaries, that they will bring
• the news of a battle. The difficulties of MASSENA'S
-situation are so great, and the defeat which he has
-sustained has been so Stvere, that we shall not be
Surprid to find tlytt he has abandoned the inten-,
`tion ,Of advancing upon Lisbon, and that he has
'beg'in his march towards Oporto, withia view of

'taking
,up his winter quarters in the North of Pul-tu-.
There weirs to be some misunderstanding
.imth regard to the positiOn occopied.by Lord WEL-
LINGTON, •-hnmejiafely after the action at 13tr,aco.:
The main body 'of the Army crossed to the .south-'
ward, of the. Mondego ; but there- are abotiti 1,000
• men in 'front of CoiMbra, and it•is understood that
the French will not be qUietlyallowed tither to °a-
, curly that town or to cross . the lgondego. They
• were on the .30th ult. at Avelans, about 20 miles
from Coimbra. MASSEI4Ai therefore., has not yet
accomplished his objea; on the contrary, he has
been completely foiled; and should Lord WEL-
LfNGTON chose to retire without fighting another
battle in this quarter, it will be wholly matter of
choice with his Lordship, and certainly not of ne-
cessity: Upon the whole, our expectation is rather
against any serious affair in this position.

We have received French Papers to the Dth, from
which we have made some extraas relative to the
movements of the French and British armies. It. is
curious to observe the moderated tore in which the
French Papers now speak of the " English army ;
they aie no longer the -cowardly Islanders who are
tn he driven into the sea by the viaorious legions of
France." The French writers now treat our troops
with almost as much respea as they receive from
the French Generali.

Yesterday morning his 'MAJESTY, accompanied
by the Princesses AUGUSTA and Sorn lA, with se-
veral attendants; took an airing on horseback in
Windsor Great Park.
On account of the affliaed and uncertain state in
which the Princess AMELIA has laid for some time,
his MAJESTY has declined coming to town, to hold
Courts as usual on Wednesday at the Queen's Palace;
but the state of the public business not admitting
any further delay, a Council was yesterday held at
Windsor, which was attended by the Archbishep of
CANTERBURY, Marquis WELLESLEY, Earls CAM-
DEN and Lwenroot., Lord MULGRAVE, Messrs.
PERCEVAL, RYDER, &c. Al this meeting (which
had not broken up when our express left Windsor),
we .understmid the further prorogation of Parliament
was
_determined on. It is said that the propriety of
sending further reintorcbments to Portugal was also
-uneler consideration.
On Monday night the Princess AMELIA was seized

with a violent fit of coughing, which continued for
• some. 'time, and was the cause of her Royal High-
ness being so much worse on Tuesday. She had
about two hours steep on Tuesday night, and took
corne strengthening refreshment, and appeared much
easier in the morning; but, upon the whole, we are
sorry to say she was only considered in about the
same states as on Tuesday.—The PIUNChI and Duke
'of YORK are rotorucd to Windsor..

. The ,following extrAEls or letters frow Officers of
rank in Lord WELLINGTOW.S Ariby will aeqUitint
the Public With, many pas tieulars respeciing the
movements of the Army, from the 20th to the 30th
inclusive :

" Convent of Lerida. two leagues from Coimbra,
Sept. 20, 1810

"We haie gradually rettred'frOrn Celerico, as the
French advanced in, considerable' force against us
and as I suppose that Lord Wellington _did not think
it prudent to risk a b3ttla s,, far forward, and with
only a part of his force, -particularly as the enemy
had colletted all 11.5 i force to bear do Ati against bim,
viz. the carps of Jutiot, Ney, and lignier. Our
cavalry covered our movement to the rear, and have
always shewn a great superiority over that of the
enemy, who never attempted to'attack it unless sup-
ported by infantry.
" I should suppose from Lord Wellington's
movements, that he expe6ted the enemy would have
followed pith by the road to the Note delvlarcellO,
by Which we retired; but when his ,Lordship ascer-
tained that they had taken the road to Vizeu, which
spewed that Coimbra was their object, where they
expe6ted, .froni the state of the country, to obtain
sufficient supplies for their army, Lord Wellington
immediately crossed the Mondego with that part of
the army under his immediate command, and placed
himself in front of Cohnbra. This 'movement was
conducted in the most regular and rapid manner;
and completely astonished not only our:owe-art-fly,
but also: that of the enemy.. -I believe there was
not a man amongst us, except. the very, few wito are
in the.secret, who did, not suppose Aber weAvere to
full retreat towards, our fortified position -in the
neighbourhood of Lisbon.
. .

" The divi.ions Of: Generals Leith. ,atid- Hill are
on their march to loin us:.. They will reael:Les to-
- morrow, and the two following. days. Wel-
lington 1r,,c1 ordered them tojoirl,•-when he ascer-
tained that Regoit-r's corps had formed a junttion
with those of jurvit and Ney. ,
" All
.our regular force in this country, excepting
the reinforcements, will then be. nearly collected.
Our army is in excellent health and spirits, and only
anxious fora trial of strength with the enemy. The
movement across the Mondego is considered, by our
taEtitians, as one of the first rate, be the tesult what
_ it may."
" BVSACO, SEPT..22.—The head-quarters. have
been moved forward to a t-
conven in the -Sierra de
Busaco, and over which Sierra the road from Vizeu,
to Coimbra passes, and where the army has taken'
,up an admirable position. Should Massena not
choose to fight on such favourable ground,, he will
be obliged to make a detour, of some leagues, in or-
der to get eupun the road leading trom Oporto td
Coimbra. It: he does that, it is generally supposed
that we cannot remain in our posision, as he will
then turn our left flank. BUt I hope we shall be
able to and another position tO Cover Coimbra, and
at ai) events, not to give it up i.vitliout a* battle."
" CoimaitA, Siti.jb.-=—l have: now the satisfac-
tion of 'informing yon, that We" have :given Mas-
• ser6 such diessOn 'as he islikele to remember 'for
the remainder of his'days: The Gazettes no doubt,

will give you the particulars better than I can ;' but
- I may-assure you; forthe titno it-lasted, it t% as warm
work- iodeecl...--,--and. what.. tnakr4 the yict.ry of
greater xonsequence is, that our allies, the Porto.
guese, behaved in the most spirited and gallant
style.
" Massena reconnoitred • 'car • army oq the 26th,
and attacked us about six o'clock on the mottling of
the 27th, in our position in Sierra de Busaco. We
defeated him in a few hour; ; and we offered him
battle -again on the 28th, which, however, he de-
clined, and on that evening put his army in motion,
with a view to turn our position. This movement
obliged us to breakup that night, and fall back upon
Coimbra.
It still appears uncertain whether Massena will
follow us across the Mondego ; if he does, he will
get another drubbing."

A mistake has crept into the Gazette account of
the battle of Bosaco, by which the well-earned praise,
justly intended to be bestowed by the Commander
in Chief on the 43d light infantry, has been errone-
ously attached to the 4,sth regitnent ; as it was the
43d, 52d, 951 h, and 3d cacadores, who repulsed with
the bayonet the division of infantry that succeeded
in ascending, a part of the Sierra, and not the.4Bth,
52d, 95th, and 3d cacadores; that gallant corps the
48th never having been attached to the light di-
vision. - , . .

THE THEATRE....:IIO-Travdy of Alacteer was'
performed last night, at Covent-Garden Theatre,
for the first time this season, and Mrs. SIDDONS also
made her first appearance for the season in the
heroine of the piece. She was received at - her en-
trance-with the applause due to her-high merits, and
this applause, which was warm and universal, was
reiterated forstime tin e'. before she spoke. The
. same cordial greeting had previously attended Kassala
when he came on in the part of iligctet/t. Thof,
both performed with their accustomed excellence.--
The only variation we noted was KEttints's manner-
of addressing the -witches in the pit of Acheron.
Hitherto most performers, and he among the rest,
entered abruptly and in an imperious tone demanded
'the purpose of their incantation. Last night how-
ever, he entered with less' eagerness and as if struck
with a degree of horror, made his inquiry in a low
and solemn manner. This is certainly a very proper
new reading, for as Modem must be conscious that
he hos no power over supernatural agents, and has
indeed a favour to ask of them relative to subsequent
events, it is not to be supposed that he could pro-
voke them by arrogance. The play was brought:for-
ward in a very magnificent style, much more so, of
course, than can be supposed to have existed at the
period of its action, but this splendour is a necessary
sacrifice to public taste, as well as a due tribute to
the high excellence of the drama itself. The ap-
pearance, however, of four soldiers in the. recess
with scanty boughs to Imitate a moving forest was
a miserable expedient. Surely something better
may be devised as an illustration of the text.---
Cuaar.F.s KEMBLE was well received in illacduil;
and he performed it with great spirit and feeling.—
The Bridal Ring was repeated, but not without much
opposition. A strong majority, however, was in
its favour. The house wai crowded from the be-
ginning.
