left the armament for she purpose of gaining' correct
infornration, and of judging for himself. The first
time he wept, as our Readers have learnt, to Cerunna.
On his return to the fleet, in the morning of the 24th
July, he issued General Orders as to the rendezvous
of the Shis, and in the morning of the 25th, the
fleet sailed with a wind so favourable, that before
nine at night of the same day, they were within a
few miles to the North of Oporto. Here they lay to
..-.-in the twilight the next day, Sir Antittra Weaass-
Lev changed from the Donegal into the Crocodile,
and the frigate instantly quitted the fleet under a
crowd of sail. It is supposed he went to the Tagus,
and had an interview with Sir CHARM COTTON. The
; - Beet, after lying to all night, made sail the next
I
day, and anchored in Moudego Bay. Sir ARTHUR
Warzinev rejoined them on the 90th in the after-
nom, when a signal was made fg to cook three days
provisibes"—that is, to prepare to land. On the
31st, however, it was impracticable, from the surf
on the beach, which even in the calmest weather
seems very high. It is a very uncertain and dange-
rous roadstead, and some loss was sustained in land-
ing. The Alfred lost from fifteen to twenty of her
people in.sendiug boats ashore, and some people be-
longing to the transports were drowned.
Theinhabitants received the troops with the most
enthntiastict expressions of welcome. The Marines
were encamped close to the town Fernigo • and the
debarkation was going on agreeably to the General
Order:: issued on the 21-th. We subjoin the General
Orders, which will give our Readers an idea of the
distribution and order of the force:
