MADRID, JAN. 31.—The Infant Don Sebastian has en-
tirely recovered from his indisposition. This Prince has
accompanied the Princess de Beyta, his mother, to the
Royal residence of Pardo. The 2d of next month, their
Majesties and their Royal Highnesses come to Madrid, to
be present at the festival of the Purification. The Royal
Family will immediately afterwards return to Pardo.
All the letters which arrive from Badajos agree in de-
claring that the fortresses of Yelves -and Campo Mayor
have been taken possession of by the English troops_ No
regard has been paid to the severity of the winter, or to
the difficulties of the road, in so great a hurry were the
• English Generals to take up positions at a distance from
Lisbon.
The spirit of the inhabitants of that capital produces the
greatest uneasiness. It is displayed daily in acts of discon-
tent, and even in the assassination of individuals. The re-
-medy, however, which has been, as is believed, discovered,
appears very ill chosen, for the appearance of the English
troops in the fortresses produces the worst effect upon the
Portuguese and upon the troops that remain faithful to the
Regency. It is even asserted that already a great number
of Portuguese troops have disappeared from the stations
occupied by the English.
The Spanish Government is making arrangements for
considerably augmenting the military force which has been
collected on the frontiers of Portugal, especially in the corps
d'arniee of Old Ckstille. The regiment of provincial mi-
litia of- Toledo has arrived at Zamora. Other regiments
which were cantoned in the interior of Old Castille, have
advanced towards the frontiers, in the neighbourhood of
Ciajdita Rodrigo and Alcanizas. A regiment from Burgos
is-expected at Madrid, as well as several corps which would
era tbis have quitted Catalonia, had they not been detained
by bad weather. The whole of these will merely pass
through the capital, and will immediately march towards
she frontiers,whither the sth regiment of light infantry will
precede them.
Lientenant-General Sarsfield, the Commander-in-Chief
of the Army of Observation, who has arrived here from
Catalonia, is to set out again to-day to go to his post.
This General, after having been admitted to pay his res-
pecti to the King, was present yesterday at the Council of
Ministers, held at Pardo.
General Monet, who, as was said, had been recalled, in
order to take the place of General Longa, in the com-
mand of Old Castille, is merely to csinunand in Ciudad
Rodrigo; he has set out for that destination, As to
General Longa, he does in fact quit his command, but he
retains permission to retire to Santona, Burgos de Osma,
or San Andero, as he may see fit.
The Marquis Monte-Hermoso is named Adjutant-Gene-
ral of the corps of Volunteer Royalists.
The new Ambassador from the King of Saxony, arrived
here two daya ago, with a numerous and brilliant suite.
It is asserted, that Mr. Lamb is to quit Madrid, and to
proceed to Lisbon, in order to take the place of Sir Wil-
liam A'Court, who is to proceed as Ambassador, it is said,
to one of the Northern Courts.

MADRID, JAN. 29.—(Private Correspondence.)—Mr.
Lamb quits this capital for Lisbon, whence, it is believed,
he will return to London. He, yesterday, gave a grand
farewell dinner to the Diplomatic Body. The Secretary
of Legation remains Charge d'Affaires until the return of
Mr. Lamb, or, what is more probable, the arrival of his
successor. His departure produces a great sensation.—
General Sarsfield is here, and refuses to take the command
of the Army of Observation, if the two commanders of
division, Sexti and Rodil, are not removed; but these two
Generals are powerfully supported by the Apostolical party.
There is a current report that the infantry regiment of the
Arragon volunteers, which was at 4lcantara, is gone into
Portugal. This report has been spread in consequence of
the arrival of two couriers, despatched immediately after
eachby General St. Jean. It is certain that, immediately
after, orders were given by the Ministry at War, to send
to Valencia One of the regiments' which, form a part of the
quarter general of Talaveira. The partial desertion from
aild the corps of the Army of Observation becomes every
day inore alarming, and thus that is verified which I stated
at the beginning of the formation of this Army—that is, it
will serve to reinforce the army of the Marquess de Chaves,
for letters from the frontiers of Tras-os-Montes announce,
that eery day Spanish soldiers are seen passing to join the
Portuguese Rebels.
The Comiliander of the Royalist Volunteers of Madrid
has been sent to the Palace, and interrogated by his Ma-
jesty, as to the servioes which could be expected from
those troops, in case of ari.; necessity arising for their use.
But the answer was not vary satisfactory ; for his Majesty
was informed that no reliance could be placed on man un-
accustomed to tight, and who had only become soldiers
to commit violence, under the protection of their uniform;
moreover, their services would be the most expensive;
for, being generally workmen, without other means than
their labont to maintain their families, the government
would be obliged to support them during the time of ser-
vice._
FBBIWARY 2.—This morning, Mr. Lamb had a very
sharp explanation with M. Zambrano, on the subject of
the re-entrance of the Portuguese into Spain. The British
Envoy reproaches our Government with having left open
eighteen leagues to the rebels, without taking any step
either for arresting their progress, or for disarming them,
as had been agreed an. The answer of M. Zarnbrano is
not known; but it is well known that M. Calemarde con-
tinues to enjoy the utmost favour; and that a diplo-
matic attempt, the object of Which was to disgrace M.
Salmon, produced no effect. Mr.
Lamb, for the third
time, is making preparations for his departure,
M. d'Ofalia, who was preparing to set out for London,
has received orders to defer his joutee..,
the presumed de-
parture of Mr. Lamb rendering the remove) of M. d'Ofalia
unnecessary.
