We . have received the following Letter from our
Correspondent at Falmotih, dated the 20th instant :
This evening arrived the schooner Swift, FRASER,
from Lisbon in 13 days ; the master of which- re-
ports, that just previous to her sailing, accounts were
received that Lord WELLINGTON'S army had been
attacked by the French army under NIAssENA, and
that the latter had been 'completely defeated. Such
..was the current report all over Lisbon." •
We are however very much inclined to doubt
the truth of 'thi-s report, because the last dispatches
from Lord WELLINGTON, which were dated the 3d
instant, do not, we understand, indicate any expec-
tation of an immediate battle. The rivers between
the positions of the hostile armies were considerably
swollen, so that. an action, for some time at least,
was not probable:, . • -

• This morning ,a Guttenburgh Mail, and-German
Papers to the kntli..instant arrived, from Which' we
have made the following extrads-:
STRALSUND, JUNE 11.-A French Consul has
unexpectedly arrived in this place, "in consequence
'of which all produce and" manufadures have been
put under sequestration, as well as the cargoes of
ships- in the harbour. There is good reason for be-,
heying that some of our smaller vessels will be imme—
diately fitted out as privateers. It has been thought
advisable to order off the vessels which had not
re-ached the Places
,for- discharging.
GOTTENBUEGII) JUNE 16.—An express has just
arrived from Stralsund, with news of a French
Consul having arrived there, and placed all magi.

BANKS of :rita 13LEE, JUNE B.—General Count ,
.MoLiTott, who. with his:division .of the French
armyi has his head-quarters at Hamburg, left this
'city about a week 'ago, •to make a journey,, along
the sea coast, from the Elbe as far as the Weser.
this military tour he was • accompanied by • engi-
*mere, revenue officers, and guards, 'who knew" the
-country well. The result of this military tour of in
,speaion has been the placing a triple line. of soldiers'
-and revenue officers,- so as'to make-it almost irn-
possible to open any communication with the sea
.without being discovered. The vigilance and seve-
rity of the French in these' parts how exceeds' all de.'

a great expence, to,ceiebrate BUONAPARTE'S mar-
riage with his LOUISA, in a sfyle'of sumptuousness

tion: '
AC Hamburgh, this took plaCe at the desire
of the French .Minister BOURIENNE, who hinted to
- the. Senate that this mark of respeet would probably
be of essential service to their little Commonwealth ;
.but the result has been, that a- few days after the
feast, the French Miriister- as well as the military
•authoritieS, informed the city, that it would hence-
forth not be sufficient to supply the French division
I of MOLITOR with free quarters, food, and clothing,
but also to advance them regularly their monthly
pay. This exorbitant demand was, like all others/
-complied with.'•
