" FOREIGN OFFICE, JI.ILY 19, Igoe.
" Mr. West has just arrived from Corunna, accompanied by
Signior FLRMIN Viaeeo. They left Coruna on the 9th of July,
when an ofScial Sccount had arrived there of the Defeat of Ge-
ner.ll.tr EVRE, by General PALAYOX, on the 25th of June, two
leagues from Szragossa. The force under the French General
consisted of Eight Thousand men, who, after a severe action of
several hours, surrendered to the Spanish General. The impe-
tuosity of the peasantry, however, was such, that they afterwards
rushed on, and with their acme Uanca (knives and swords) put
every Frenchman to death.
" The Portuguese are said to be marching with a numerous
army to attack General I uNOT:'
To the above we have to add, that it also appears I
by the accounts received, that a communication has
been established between the armies of Leon, Astu-
rias, and Gallicia, with the forces of Estramadura,
so that they are enabled to act in concert. An inter-
course has also been opened between Gallicia and the
Junta of Oporto, by which means the Generals who
command in Tuy and Orense have a direct inter-
change of infantry, cavalry, and ammunition for their
respective objects.
In our preceding columns will be found some inte- '
resting extracts from Spanish papers to the 9th inst.
On these we shall offer no comment, but proceed to
lay before our readers some im portantin telligente from
PORTUGAL.
Sunday last the Portuguese schooner Angelica ar-
rived at Falmouth with dispatches for the Portuguese
Ambassador, which were immediately sent off for
London and arrived yesterday evening.
The ANGELICA left Oporto so lately as the 10th
instant, at which time the Portuguese flag was flying
at every fort '(Lisbon excepted), and in all the towns
of Portugal. JUNoT was still nnsubdued, and was
doing what he could to fortify his position.--but his
surrender was hourly expected ; four regiments of
Portuguese and Spanish cavalry, with 16,000 regu-
lar infantry, and armed peasantry to the number of
50,000, having marched from Oporto, ?cc. deter-
mined to overwhelm him.
The Spanish- and Portuguese at St. Übe's rose on
the French in the Garrison there, and completely an-
nihilated them. About 4000 French were lolled.
The Priests are all cockaded and armed, and mount I
guard regularly.
The Portuguese are stated to be, if possible, more
indignant against the French than even the Spaniards.
Eighty-nine thousand stand cf arms have been de-
livered out to the enrolled inhabitants, and they seem
well disposed to make the best use of them in expel-
ling the invaders. •
The following is given as the substance of the dis-
patches received by the Portuguese Ambassador :
44 The dispatches brought by Captain FRAN-
CISCO GONCALVEZ, of the ANGELICA, are from the
Bishop who is at the head of the Provisional Go-
vernment at Oporto. They announce the arrival
of Colonel BROWN at Oporto, after a passage of five
days from England. His mission was partly to make
a tender of British assistance, of which the Portuguese
immediately availed themselves. They have requested,
arms, ammunition, and money There is scarcely a
man in the north of Portugal who has not made a vo-
luntary tender of his services to march against the
French. Those who were possessed of arms have al-
ready been incorporated with regulars, and have
marched against the enemy. LolsoN, who according
to the last accounts had advanced to Armazante, had
retreated to Mizaoros, about six leagues from Arma-
sante, where he had intrenched himself, but was soon
surrounded by the Patriotic Bands, who cut off all
his means of procuring provisions. In this state he
requested permission to be allowed time' to draw up
terms, upon vkliich be would consent to capitulate.
His Toques& was complied with ; and in a few hours
he sent in 3 Bag of truce,nasuring the Leaders of the
Patriots that he would surrender his army to any Ge-
neral 9filcer of the Pcrtuguese army. He did this
to save the effusion of blood ; being acquainted with
the determination of the Portuguese people to shew
no quarter;
