:;tilej for tle English ii quite vanishes' in' the opi-
nion of the public, owing to their seeing the French
colours and authority continue to prevail here, though
it is three weeks after a battle that should have pro-
duced the reverse of a disgraceful capitulafon, the
articles of which we are not regularly informed of to
this day."
" LISBON, SEPTEMBER to.

le Yon will, undoubtedly, long ere this gets to hand,
have heard of the memorable battle of the 21st of
august, and cif the gloom cast thereon by the shame•
ful capitulation gritnted the French, too disagreeable
a subject to dwell on. Since the battle above-men-
tioned, the French hays been busily employed in
packing up every thing worth plundering. The
Church plate they melted into bars, being the most
convenient method of conveying the same to France.
The natives were not only insulted, but murdered in
the faze of open day. All this is well known to the
Br.tisli General, memorials from the Juiz de Soro,
and principal merchants of Lisbon having been given
in to him to no effect. Sir An•rnt.a AVELLm.r.v is
highly praised by his Army, the Navy, and inhabi-
tants, for his brave conduct ca the 21st ; but no sooner
was the battle decidei, than he was superseded by
some other General. In the skirmish of the 17th,
near Obidos, LAnottnE was wounded, and is now
nearly recovered. Two of the Russian fkei arc con-
demned; the others, it is said; are to be cenveyed to
nisland. 41t present we ate rather aukwardly situated
here, there being nn regular form of Covemnient,
either English, French, or Portuguese. The —rench
troops are elle. mp.:d in the F.ccio, Terreiro do Paco,
and St. Paul's ; p:- rt rf them are em',: rked The
French are still employed in melting down the Church
plate into bars, making mattresses of cotton, putting
up indigo and coffee in the form of crates of bottled
wine, &c. The Spani,h troops are still confined."
LtsroN, SEPTEMBER it.

" Nothing can surpass the indignation and surprize
of the inlii,bitants ~t :ceing the unaccountable posture
of things in the Tagus, where the English, tie For
tugaese, the French, the Spani. 11, and the Russian
'Lig.; arc all sun nyirg together ! Sir CIIA aLts
TON, when he citric over the. bar, placed his fleet about
two miles b.:ler: Pelem fart. The French ships and
the. Russian fleet are anchored iti.)tit a mile above the
fort. The Spani,ll prsoners who were released from
the /ans, are enear peJ on the southern side of the
r ter. The Okat li:zs bce produced by s^eing
the first detachment cf the French carer on board their
plunder with them, h ► produced many murders.—
Officers, either French or English, are careful of
walking alone, or of venturing out at night. Several
of the French have been dispatched, and it requires
the utmost vigilance to prevent insurrection. There
is a report that the French will not be able to carry
with them any part of their rapine. They are now.,
trying to convert it into articles that will stand muster.
They have been actually buying from the English i
Officers English horses at 100 giiin2as a piece, to
carry with them. It is said that the French to be',
carried away will amount to near 25,000 souls, and
transports for all this body must be found. There is
a rumour that they have committed great depreda-
tions since the Convention was signed—but I cannot
discover this to be the cdse. The. clamour and the
fury of the people however is at the height."

G. CAMP CASSO, NEAR LISBON, SEPT. 10.

00 Of the result of our campaign' in Portugal you
have been already of course informed. But I must
acquaint you with a good thing which happened yes-
terday : JUNOT had allowed his Generals and Officers
to plunder Lisbon—.in consequence of this permission,
the Bishop's Palace, the Public Offices, and the
Churches were exposed to the most open and bare-
faced pillage, after the Convention had been signed
with the British Commander. The Magistrates of
Lisbon and the principal persons preferred a complaint
to the Commander in Chief of the British Fortis.
About 8000 French had been already embarked—
but Jcsloy was still in Lisbon,—The British Com-
mander instantly sent an order to him to cau*
every thing to be restored that had been taken from
the Portuguese pr.-viol/4 to the Capitulation, and
down to yesterday. How astonished the Fretwh
who thought they should have carried off c very thing
quietly, I leave you to judge—Jtr.or and his
Generals and Officers are in the greatest rage ; but
it will avail them nothing. A Military Committee
has been appointed, to which all the property plun-
dered, wiether Portuguese or Engla, is to be de
livered. The amount will, it is said, be immense,
some say a million or two sterling."
