By the Matchless, from Corunna, the arrival of
which schooner at Plymouth we announced yester-
day, two Englishmen, and a Spanish Gentleman came
passengers, who have since reached town. They re-
port that accounts had been received of JuxoT being
a prisoner at Lisbon, of which place the British were
in
-possession. They know not on what authority this
intelligence rested, but it was so generally credited at
Corunna on the 7th instant, that great rejoicings and
general illuminations had taken place, not only there,
but along the whole of that coast.

One of these passengers, a Mr. BItOCK, apprehends,
however, that the report did not rest on any official
authority, he himself having left Oporto on the 3d
instant, up to which date nothing authentic, later
than the battle of the 21st, had been received there.

It was reported at Oporto before Mr. BROCK quit-
ted that place, that Admiral SINIAVIN had landed all
the Marines from the Russian fleet in the Tagus, and
had, dispatched them to the army under JUNOT, who,
with a considerable number of the people of Lisbon,
adherents to the cause of France; had marched in a
considerable body to reinforce the French army. This
MIS believed both at Oporto and Corunna, at both of
which places Mr. BROCK was consulted by the heads
of the respective Governments.

General Sir H. BURRARD'S army, after having
commenced their landing at Figuiera, were ordered
to re•embark, and proceed to Mafra, where they ef-
fected a landing about the 31st of August.—Mr.
BROCX is not the bearer of dispatches, but he, *ever.
theless, had an interview yesterday with Ministers, by
whom he was very politely received. Having seen
General MOORK several times, he is supposed to have
made some very important communications.
An Officer at Oporto, who was wounded in the
battle of the 21st, writes, under date of the .50th ult.
—" That he had just received an account of the sur-
render of JusoT's army, and that Lisbon was in the
possession of the English. He directs, therefore,
that all communications may, in future, be addressed
to him at Lisbon."

This litter, however, was written by an officer con-
fined by his wounds, and perhaps repeating merely
the floating rumour of the day, which he might have
been easily induced to believe.

Accounts have also been received by this vessel an-
nouncing that the French who occupied Burgos had
retreated from thence. The enemy withdrew from it,
in consequence of the approach of General CASTANOS,
at the head of a strong force.

General BLAKF. had broken up from Astorga, and
advanced as far as Rio Sequillo, on his march to
Burgos.
Other accounts from Oporto, but only to the same
date, the 3d instant, were also received yesterday, but
noth;ng official, and the rum _airs inconsequence are va-
rious and contradictory. One, believed to be circulated
on the authority of the Portuguese Ambassador, but
still not held to be official, states that a capitulation
has been concluded by the British, French, and
Russian Commanders, which declares that Lis-
bon shall be a free port ; that the French troops
shall be permitted to return home with their arms
and their private property, (their plunder) ; and
that the Russian squadron shall be allowed a start
of 43 hours, to enable them to withdraw unmo-
lested to whatever place they may think proper.
When the nature of these terms is duly considered,
who would believe that any British Officer would ven-
ture to set his name and seal to conditions in Avery
respect so inadmissible? This report, which by the bye
was circulated in substance a week ago, is not credi-
ted. But the very circumstance of no official accounts
having arrived, which delay may have been occasioned
by a prevalence of northerly winds on the coast of
Portugal, has occasioned some uneasiness, and given
rise to an opinion in the mind of some, that Juror
has probably succeeded in securing some strong posi-
tion (as the Rock of Lisbon) where it would not he
prudent to hazard an attack upon it by assault.—We
hope a day or two will remove the present state of
suspence.

NF.W YORK, JULY 22.
The —, Captain SIIELLINS, arrived at Bos-
ton, front the Isles of France, sailed the 19th of
April. He states, that English Indiamen, some very
valuable, and other prize vessels were carried in every
day. The noted Surcottf was nearly ready for sea.
A French frigate arrived from Europe on the 17th
April, and was watering for a crnize. The Can-
noniere frigate was out cruizing. The Semillante
sailed the 17th April, for Bourbon, to convoy a va-
luable English Indiaman, which had been captured
by a French latten rigged vessel, of one gun, and 65
men. The Indiaman bad 500,000 dollars, besides
indigo and goods.
