LISBON PAPERS.

4I rll, MAT 26...--Up to the 22d inst. nothing
further bad taken place in the neighbOurhood of
'Wok*. We Were at that time getting up our
hem y guns, to commence the attack on that place.
Letters tram Elva, of the 22d inst. state, that
the enemy's army, in its retreat, halted in Santa
Maria, and that the combined army also suspended
its march, and took post at a little distance from
the enemy. According to all accounts, SOULT
made the utmost etTorts to join all the force,. he
possibly could when he proposed to arta( k our
army, which is, confirmed by the detachments he
drew from all the garrisons and points.
The stispen.ion of his retreat, it appears probable,
%Vas to refresh his troops, fatigued with their march
and with tne 'ataion of Alboera : it was also neces-
airy tor t:tking care of the wounded, and other in-
dispensabte arrangements. The French army must
have been much diminished in consequence of the
great loss which it suffered; and if the first battle
had such disastrous results, it does not appear pro-
bable that it would expose itself to a second action,
since that would be its total destruttion.

Marshal Rartesvoun, ai the date of the last
counts, remained at the head of his army. Lord
Wata,moTON was et Elwas. On the 2 1 st, his Ex-
cellency went over the field, whence he returned,
after having wade ins observations and reconnoit-

On the that, arrived at Portalegre a part of the
division of our alloy, which from the North pasted
to the tiontb, and on the 22d another part was
ettpeeled.
On the day before yesterday, some cavalry which
had strived from England landed, and some other
corp, of infantry and cavalry ate expetied.

Li9RON, MAY the accounts received
since the great battle of Allauera agree in praising the
gallant condutl at all the troops who took a part in
that glorious athon. It must hate hewn to the
enemy how' great a harmony reigns between the
three Ailied Nations, and with what ardour they con-
cur in the defence of the sacred and just cause in
which they are engaged. The union, discipline,
and suaordination which was admired in the battle
of Aiuuera, the valour, the tirutness;and intrepidity
displayed hy all the individuals of the different corps,
of Ore combined Army, producing the defeat of one
of the most distinguished Generals of France, has,
completely secured our independence. The Army.
of the enemy consisted of 21000 infantry, 6000 Ca*
valry, and two regiments of lance men.
Yesterday it was asserted that Badajoz was in the
power of our Army.

LONDOIV,
THURSDAY, JUble 6, 1811.

A /spurt was last night circulated, upon the au•
thorny of au American Captain, that another bot-
tle 'had taken piaci: in the Peninsula but.:it la
wholly without foundation, for Governnihot have
received Dispatches from Lord WELLIPUITON this
morning, dated *the e4th ultitno, which state,

The greater part of our Officers and men who were
missing, had rejoined the army, and great nuMbers
of prisoners !Lid fal;en into our hands during our
pursuit at the enemy.

Every thing remained in the same state in the
North of Pottugal ; it was certain that MAssON►,
Juntyr, and LOISSON, had returned to France, and
hat MARMON'S' and REONtU had been lett in•com-
mand of the Army,

We feel the most sincere pleasure in stating, that
the accounts train Windsor this morning respeding
H►s MAJESTY'S health, are must favourable.

A disposition to give credit to, and- to circulate
untavourable intelligence, not- unfrequentty defeats
the mischiefs which it ie calculated to create. An
Opposition Paper of this morning has thought fit to
publish, in its leading paragraph, the rumour spread
by the Master of a vessel from Alieanr, of Sir
131111 NT StENCIIR being detested on the 24 h ult.. by
the army lately conunailded by MAIPigt4A, which
had been reinforced by General SUCH IT with 15,000
inert : what time this rumour would take to travel
trtr,a,Alineida to Alicant, which is-above 400 miles,
and trim Meant, which is high up the Meditetra-
nean, to the, Office of the 'Paper in que.ti, n, which
is at least 2300 miles more, we leave to the writer
of the article to calculate, but we think it is'a race
against time that cannot be matched in the Racing
'Calendar.

This morning some Portuguese Papers arrived.—
They state that the heavy artillery had been remov-
ed from El‘6l to Badajoz, and that the siege of the
latter ',lace bad recommenced ;. there is indeed a
report that it had surrendered. The other news
in these Papers is not very important. SOUL? had
made a halt in his retreat, for the purpose Of re-
freshing his A my and securing his wounded.

A Proclamation has been issued by Loki Wit.-
LINGTON ►o the people of Portugal, in which, after
mentioning .the retreat of the French beyond the
Agueda; he says, that although the danger which
threatened them has been removed, it has not en-
tirely disappeared, and cautions them to take
early and etfe:.tual measures for the removal of their
property arid provisions, in case of another invasion
of the French. His Lordship refers them to a Pro-
clamation which he issued last year upon the s ime
subject, and there can be no donut tha► if his Lord-
ahrip's had been implicitly obeyed, the loss
snbtaioed by the inhabitants of that kingdom would
not 1 avo been so great as it unfortunately has
been,

We this morning received the following letter
from Heligoland, dated 3 tit May
We have had lately ietue arrivals from the op-
posite coast, which bring no intelligence of im-
pot lance. From this it appears that articles of Ca
toaial proddce are advancing in price, and hopes are
held out that ,13UONAFAIITE'S system of Continental
exclusion may be a little relaxed.
" Thu account of the French troops having
marched for the interior is confirmed. A sufficient
number, however, of soldiers and douatiiers have
been lett at the different ports and depots, to ob.
serve what is passing on the coast, and thke care that
no correspondence with a British port be carried on,
and no articles of .British merchandixe introduced.

" In Emden there are stationed QOO troops, at
the island of Notdery 50, and proportionate num.
hers at other points, according to their supposed

importance.
" The King o(SWE.DRY remains at the residence
Of EDWARD MenaLs, Esti. How long he nay
prolong his stay is uncertain."

Just as the last packet sailed from India, Admiral
DitUKY, with a considerable naval force, and 1500
troops on board, had gone against the Island of
Java; which, therefore, may be reckoned at this
as another of our newly acquired possessions in the
Eastern world. . ,

General liattaladim was several limes, during the
battle of Albuera, in the most imminent danger, so
atttive a part did be take on that memorable day.
Whilst encouraging a part of his army, he rode very
near to a Frenchman, who was armed with a pike.
This Frenchman aimed his pike at the Marshal ;
but he averted it by the natural strength and skilful
use of one arm, and with the other he seized the
pikeman by the throat, dragged him from his horse,
and threw him upon the ground ! The pikenm,
however, recovered from his fall, and in the very
ad of repeating his atm at Marshal iIIikESFORD, he
was shot by a dragoon.
Another pct of great bravery is related of an En.
sign; this brave man, after having been surtound•
ed by the enemy, was requested to surrender his
colours—" neve surf' MY 1.11,31 !" exeliti,nel the
hero. But his gallant reply cost him his life—he
was immediately put to death, and his colours torn
item him.

Another Ensign, who was desperately wounded,
and of which wound he afterwsrds died on the field
of battle, bad contrived to sepsnye his cg lours from
the stairo
,and to deposit ttietn in his bosom ! So
secreted were they found when his body was oisco-
vered s end it tiftetvs that with his parting life be
thought *1 the trust repthett in him.
