FALMOUTH, JULY 13.- Yesterday arrived off
this harbour his Majesty's ship Semiramis, 38 guns,
Capt. RICHARDSON, from I,isbon, with a mail, in 13
days; and this day the Walsingham packet, Captain
ROBARTS, with mails and dispatches in eight days;
the latter were 'sent off this day by eXpress. Some

little movement bas taken place- on the frontiers,
between the advanced posts, but nothing of any con-
sequence ; a few prisoners were made on the part
of the Bri►ish. Every thing wears the appearance of
a general attack very shortly ; all our troops are in
good health, full of spirit, and are well supplied. Ac,
cording to the accounts received by the deserters,

PLYI4OUTEI, JULY I4.—Arrived his Majesty's
ship Semirainis, of 3.6 guns, Captain. GRANGER ;
from'LisbOn, which place she left on the, Ist July,
and has hrptight ever General PAYNE, the Hon.
Captain QUINN, his Aid-de,Camp ; Colonels MAS.:
TEES, and 13EI;SON ; -and Captain BaowN of the'
40th .'foot.- These officers left the British Army on
2nd June, which then consisted of 36,000 effec-
tive‘troopS in high health and spirits, the Portuguese
.force was about 40,000 men, who were in the
highest state of discipline ; the allied armies were
then about two hundred and seventy miles from
Lisbon, and about 5 leagues from the French army
tinder MASSENA, whose force according to the latest
account's which had been received ,by Lord, WEL-
,- ‘•
LINGTON; did not exceed 84,000 men, who were in
great want -of provisions, notwithstanding which
they crossed'the bridge at Almeida on the Ist June.
Froni this circumstance, it was thought- that, a gene-
.
ral, battle would have been fought long ere this. - It
is generally supposed, that the scarcity of -provisions
in the French army, has suspended th.e long looked-
for. attack ; the Semiramis left in the Tagus five
rm.-ft-of w r, among them were the Alrfleur. and
_Norge. .

.Artived the Spanish brig Telegiao, Don ANT°-
, ittO BtduERA-master, from Corurina, with a cargo

battle h.ed :been. fought bet Ween the Allied and
French armies, in which • the fornier had tieen sk-
.
cessful, .but bad sustained considerable loss. We at-
tach but little credit to thii report, as we are con-
vinced, if.a battle had been 'fOught, accounts would
have ,been received from Lisbon, sooner than a re-
port could have reached Corunna, and from thence
hither.
