the Ist inst. but there is some disagreement in the
Bulletins that were circulated in the afterneon--pet-
haps owing to their coming from different Offices.
One of them stated, that Generals WELLESLEY and
SPescsa bid formed a junction--another, ' that
they were preparing to form a junction the former
is incorrect, owing probably to the hurry of the trans-
cribing Clerk.
Dispatches were also received from Lord Cot-
.
LiNowooo, with an Official account of the ditrrender
of Duroat. In the battle of Baylen, which preceded
the surrender, the French lost 3000 men ; and it is
known that General CAirrA.Nos setoff immediately

The following are the Bulletins thM-were issued.
'The first was circulated to the Westward ; the other
was posted at Lloyd's :

', Dispatches have been received from Sir C. Cnnois: they
were brought by the ENCOUNTEa gun-brig, which lift Sir C.
COTTON'S fleet on the 3d of August. These dispatches state in
substarce,lhat Sir ART aux Wais.rsLey had landed at Figueira
ea the Ist of August, and had immediately commenced his march
, for Lisbon. •Genera SrEwcza joined Sir C. Cov•rom on the lit
of August, and proceeded, without loss of time, to form a junction
with Sir A. Weicaster.
'5 Dispatches have also been received from Lord Goatruc-
'woon, which contain an official account of the surrender of Ge-
neral Dv roam. It appears that the French had socv men kilkd
in the battle of Baylen, which took place the day previous to the
surrender. General CASTANOS was advancing with his army
.wards Madrid.'

BULLETIN.
" Mr. Bastuco, the Messenger, arrived this morning from off
the Tagus, which he left on the 3d instant. Oent rals WELLIS.
Ler and SPENCER had formed a junction, and landed all their
troops. A summons had been sent to lonoT, who prcpc.sed to
capitulate on certain conditions, to which, however, his brother
Officer, General Laboanz, would r.oL consent.—The Portuguese
were in arms, and bad joined the British in great numbers. ioNOT
had not been able to correspond with France for nearly ten

weeks."
Some of the private letters state that Genera'
SpaNcei had landed his force at St. 'Ube's ; but in this
we think there must be some mistake.
Oporto Papers to the Ist instant inclusive have been
received. They afford hardly any intelligence of mo-1
ment. General LWOW, we should suppose, must
have effected a junction with Jutior about the middle
'of last month. His force could not at most have
exceeded WO men ; and if it be true, as is stated in'
Sir CHARLES COTTON'S Proclamation, that the army
which occupies the city of Lisbon, and the forts in
the neighbourhood, do not amount to more than
10,000, the reduction of Jcnor will not be so tedious
or difficult an enterprise as we had reason to appre-
hend. It seems that Lorenz had been a good deal
harassed in his retreat.
As to the probability of Juror's surrender wlthnut
a battle, no man can speak with any thing like rea-
son. It depends on so many circumstances with which
we are unacquainted, that any opinion on the subject
mist he .vague. It woull appear to be his most judi-
cial proceeding to capitulate, as it would be Sir AR•
THUR WILLISLEY'S policy, to accept it, and to grant
him easy terms. His position is so strong that be
might hold out a long time, and it is for the interest
of the allies that our army should be speedily released
tfrom this 'service, that it may proceed on anotljer.—
But much must depend or: the character of JUNOT
-himself, and there is no drawing conclusions from our
views of the subject as to his probable conduct.
It is even not improbable that Sir ARTHUR WEL-
tastwx may .postpone any attack upon JuNoT till the
force under Sir HARRY BURRARD shall have arrived.
It is good to make assurance double sure.

Other dispatches were received this morning from
Liktt Coawnwoo.), off Cali;, brought by the RED- I
wow, of 19 guns, which arrived at Plymouth on I
Sunday. The Raowixo left the fleet off Cadiz on 1
the 91st ult. She was gfteen days. on her passage,
and came in under jury.masts, having suffered much I
in a squall ten days before her arrival. These dis-
patches add nothing to the accounts received yester-
day ; they are simply a confirmation of the sur-
render of Durowr.
The Spanishschooner Caroline, JOAQUIN DE MAY NA,
a Lieutenant of the Spanish Navy, Commander,
.bound from-St. Sebastian to Buenos Ayres, with dis-
patches from the Grand Duke of BERO, has also ar-
rived at Plymouth—whether sent in as a prize, or
brought in by the Commander from a 'sense of duty
to his country, we have not learnt.

From the'Captain of a vessel which arrived yester-
day from the Weser, we understand that the Austrian
army is in the highest state of preparation. The
Archduke CIIARLES is said to be encamped with a
considerable body in the vicinity of Suback.

for a considerable force immediately to proceed to

The extensive pottery on the Homber, near Hull,
has been engaged by Government for barracks.
The Ist Battalion, 61st Regiment, is to join Lietiter
nant-General Sir JeiN Moon's army. They are a
fine body of young men, and are 1030 strong I;
must be h pleasing circumstance to the Officers, Non-

that they should again join imieutenarn-General Sir
JOHN Moon, who unavoidably left them at Gibraltar
i when his expedition front Sicily was broken up.
The 36th, 87th, and 88th regiments, and four other

into the Local Militia.
The 2d Royal Tower Hamlets regiment of Militia,
in the King's duty at Deptford, volunteered their ser-
• vices on the 24th of last month, to serve in Spain.—
This regiment was one of the first that volunteered'
for Ireland last-war. It is composed chiefly of War-
wickshire, Leicestershire, and Gloucestershire men,
and will not, on any account, if they can possibly
avoid it, enrol a Londoner.
The report of the Cambridgeshire Militia having
volunteered their services for Spain, as stated in all
the papers, is not correct.
1 The letters received from Bencoolen by the WIND*
HAM state, that the Malays, on the night of the 234
December last, attacked the Government House, and
unfortunately succeeded in murdering Mr. PARR, the
British President, before a military force could he
opposed to them. We understand some regulations
had been recommended respecting the cultivation
of their vineyards, which would have proved bene-
ficial to their interests, but which they disliked, and
in consequence remonstrated on the occasion, which
Mr. PARR had attended to, and given orders that
their request should be complied with, but unfortu-
nately, the orders were not issued time enough to pre-
vent this unfortunate business. The weakness of the
military force of the island has long been complained
of, which will, it is supposed, now be augmented, and
put on a respectable footing.
The Company's possessions, we learn, are in a state
