THE BRITISH TROOPS IN PORTUGAL.

LISBON, MARCI-I 31, 7 o'CLocK, P. M.-No import-
ant movement has been made, nor has any interesting oc-
currence taken place in the British army. Head quarters
are still at Leyria ; but scarcely any troops are there sta-
tioned. Our line has extended to Abrantee. The cavalry,
with General Bouverie, are at Cortouxa, on the Tagus,
about half-way between Villa Franca and Santarem.—
Coimbra is still occupied by two regiments, and Thomar
has lately been taken possession of by the 11th, 43d, and
t33d regiments. I have seen an officer from head-quarters,
who has given a very different account of the manner in
which our troops have been received from that fabrication
transmitted to England. Everywhere they were welcomed
with rejoicings. At Santarem the people put themselves
and their children in their holiday dresses to receive them.
Even the monasteries testified their satisfaction at receiving
their friends the English, though they did not conceal their
dislike to the Charter.

The House of Lords adjourned, last night, to
the 2d of May, and the Commons to the Ist.
Very little was done in either House. The Corn
Bill was read a third time and passed. Mr. F.
PALMER, the Member for Reading, gave his
cordial support to the measure, and expressed a
hope that he would have many opportunities of
supporting the liberal measures of Ministers
during the present Session.

Hamburgh Papers to the 7th inst. have been
received this morning. It appears the Duke of
CUMBERLAND is so far recovered that no further
bulletins of his health will be issued. These
Papers contain no particular news. The follow-
ing are extracts :

STOCKHOLM, MARCH 27.
Corn is again rising considerably iu price in all our
southern and western provinces.
For these ten days we have had again very severe win-
ter, with 9 or 10 degrees of cold, and there is no appear-
ance of spring. We learn that the King, on his return
from Norway, has given a large sum to the sufferers by the
fire at Carlstadt, and also to the town of Frederickshal, to
rebuild its public edifices.
The rich Paris banker, M. Hagermann, intends now,
after many years absence, to return to his own country
(Scania), where he has purchased an estate near Ystad.
He has also hired a house in Stockholm.

In another part of our Paper we have given
some interesting particulars respecting the wreck
of LA PEROUSE, some of whose crew are still
supposed to be living in the islands of the South
Sea.

The last direct intelligence was received from
Botany Bay, in the year 1788. Some years after,
when the shipwreck of La Boussole and L' As-
trolabe was admitted as a necessary conclusion,
from the long-continued silence of their com-
manders, a voyage t, in search of LA PEROUSE"
left the shores of France, of which a very amus-
ing account has been given by LABILLAR-
MERE. The search was altogether unsuccesful.

PEROUSE arrived at Botany Bay in January,
1788. He remained there to build two long
boats, to replace those which had been lost at
Maouna, one of the Islands of Navigators,
where Mons. ',ANGLE, the Captain of the
Astrolabe, with Mons. DE LAMANON, the na-
turalist, and ten of the crew, were killed by the
natives. PEitousE left Botany Bay on the 10th
of March. On the 7th of February, 1788, the
date of the last letter received from him, he
thus announces his intentions :••—•4‘ I shall bear
up again for the Friendly Isles, and shall ful-
fil, most strictly, all my instructions re-
specting the southern portion of New Caledonia,
the Isle Santa Cruz of Mendana, the southern
coast of the Arsacides of Surville, and the Lou,
isiade of Bougainville, attempting to determine
whether the last is separated from, or part of,
New Guinea. I shall proceed, about the end of
July, between New Guinea and New Holland,
by a different passage from that of the Endea-
vour, if any such exist. During September and
October I shall explore the Gulph of Carpen-
taria, and the eastern coast of New Holland to
Van Diemen's Land, but only so far as to enable
me to return to the northward, in time to reach
the Isle of France by the beginning of Decem-
ber 1788."

His Mijesty's brig Trion, with a Leeward Island mai
has arrived at Falmouth; left Barba(loes on the 20th Feb.;
and St. Thomas on the Val March.
