Lismom, Nov: 3.—Our artuy still tpntinnes in its
old positions, so does. MAsstro. lie yesterday
made a skew of attaCking us, but retired without
;:doing any thing. His position is nearly as strong as
ours, so that neither party likes to attack, general
FARHA'3 division of cavalry crossed the Tagus yes-
terday at this place for the Alenteijo, which will
prevent small parties going,over, and
,be a great
check on MAssPmA there. We. still hold Abraotes
and Coimbra. Morellos has left 3000 men in Se-
,
vile, and is gone to join VICTOR at 'Cadiz with
9000. 135z.t.41.3-renos has 4000 men near Seville.
Prisoners have been exchanged here.

" MOST EXCELLI.NT

The nietny .t:ontinue to occupy the. sine • •I • " :
Lion, it' frcnt dear anny,which I mentioned to your
I,:idellency in no former dispatch of the 20th inst.
I neVertfieies't detached soilie troops to the side of
Santarem, knciiiVing that General Lotsou on the 23d
• •
hAd Marched for the satne place;. with the division
under his 'eCtnrnand; and it appears, accordin to in-
telligence received ?rani the commanding Officer
at Al:ratites, under date of the. 24th inst. that an
etteiny's cords infantry and cavalry entered
Thcinia'r .on that day.,
" All the inttormation received from prisoners and
dthserters, which have arrived at this army, concurs
its enn'stantry relating the rniseri6 and (iitliculties
• . •
which the ene,triy suffer, in consequence of the great
scarcity of Al kinds of prOVisions.

EY t.t.iwy also State, that they were preparing
tna-...terial's for the construction of a bridge over
the Tagus ; but though we have a good view
. . .
Of that -rit=e? tr6rn different points of the position
' which this arMY OeCupies ietd Officers and other-
individnals employed on the left bank of ,the river
to otietve the nioveruentfoi the enemy, I liave not
been able to ai'sc'Over the place where this construc-
tion is 'carrying ,on, „nor the part ot the river to
which it is to be applied if it shoulid be completed:,
" The enemy likewise apPcar very anxious to
obtain or banstrl.l6l: boats, and with this view en-
deavoured on the 24th .inst. to dislodge a prirty of
fiorn the post at
..c4Fimtkie,A., in order to
po;session of soirtai,.boat•s that Were there, •
bill they did not ineeced.:

On the side of fiamalhal OleidA, the excur•
,sion§ of the enemy's detachments are so confined
atid cheeked, that lie, in fact, possee4es no ground
. .
in the 'country ex6ept that on whiCh his army is
po'sted.

ir By General SiLvErßA's last reports, dated the
17th inst. it appears that every thing remains quiet
on the 'northern frontiers, nor had the said General
rt:cei lied any intelligence 'of any troops having march-
ed into Castile. The flying parties have become more
bold'. and enterprising, than they ever were, They
fotmed a junction in tha environs of Vafladodid at the
beginning of October, to the number of 1,500 men,
in order to take a convoy of money and contributions
which the enernY had levied in the country; they
proved, however, unsuccessful in that enterprise.

" I have the honour to remain *WI particular
.consideration,
