PORTUGAL.

The accounts which arrived yesterday from Lisbon
co me down a fortnight later than any previously re-
ceived. General MOORE was still there, but wa ex-
pected to follow the army in the course of three or
four days. It is impossible that the forces can be
concentrated at Valladolid (the place appointed for
the intended junction with the troops landed at Co.
runna) at the time mentioned, the 15th inst. There
are no certain advices that anypart of General MOORE'S
army had reached Salamanca.
There was reason to apprehend from former ac-
counts, that the authority of the Regency would not
be generally recognized. The advices now received
from Oporto state, that the inhabitants of the Nor-
thern Provinces have come to the resolution of not
obeying any orders proceeding from the Regency at
Lisbon.

BENEVENTE, JULY 22.

Marshal Ecssieres, who entered this place with
from 10 to 12,000 men, subsequent to the retreat of
our army, marched out again in the evening of the
20th.

The country is entirely laid waste, for the enemy
eat down all the plantations, and fed their horses with
the corn.

Seignor Cuesta has retreated with the cavalry, and
has left the infantry at their own disposal. It is said
that he has gone to join Palafox.

VALDEVIEGAS, JULY 22.

Our head-quarters are at Manzanal, and the ad-
vanced guard has arrived at Astorga, where it remains
completely on the alert.
. _

. .
Seignor Cuesta has suddenly evacuated Benevente
and marched for Leon.

In consequence of dispatches taken by a serjeant
of the Regiment of Saragossa, from a French Aid-
du-Camp, whom he apprehended in the disguise of a
Spanish postillion, and which dispatches were trans-
mitted to Seignor Cuesta, who received them at ten
o'clock at night; he dismissed the peasantry belong-
ing to his army, ordered the cavalry to mount, and
with them and the flying artillery, he marched off
suddenly at twelve o'clock, saying, " Let those who
are able and willing follow me." This precipitate
departure has given rise to various speculations.—

There are some, who from the intelligence received
yesterday, predict some heroic achievement as the
issue of the plan which he had so suddenly adopted.

CORUNNA, JULY 23.

In the evening of the 25th, the English Captain
Carrol set off post from this place for our army, ac-
companied by a serjeant and a private soldier.
The vessels belonging to the English convoy con-
tinue to arrive here, and at the other per s of tl e
kingdom.
Yesterday morning arrived here, a pAze to a Bri-
tish vessel, a French galliot from Martinique, laden
with coffee, cotton, and other colonial productions.

PUERTO REAL, JULY 11.

In the kingdom of Seville we have 50,000 men in
arms. Of these, 30,000 are troops of the line, and the
rest, though newly raised, are pretty well disciplined,
having been constantly exercising for the last month.
The whole of this force is posted in the environs of
Andujar, where General Dupont has entrenched him-
self with 9000 troops, in expectation or reinforce-
ments, or in consequence of finding his retreat to Ma-
' drid entirely cut off.
We are in hourly expectation of hearing of an en-
gagement, though there are some who assert, that
General Castano's plan is to starve the enemy into a
surrender.

The English are received here in the same manner
as in other parts of the kingdom, They disembarked
a few days since, and about €2OOO of their troops are
slow quartered here.

CADIZ, JULY 12,

The accounts from the army at Andujar are very
flattering. They are unanimously resolved to beat the
Preach, who are e.tim:Lted at from eight to tea thcu-
sand.

There are some English troops here, and at ti,e
port of Santa Maria 2600 have !..!en disembarked
for the purpose of refreshment, after being so long on
ship-board.

which had already reached the environs of Albacettas
when Llamas and Cerbellon were pursuing, with
more than 50,000 men, the rear guard of Moncey's
army. These 7000 were the last reinforcemcnt sent

A report was circulated 'yesterday afternoon and
mentioned in part of our' impression, that General
DUPONT, after having made himself master of Cor-
dova, had in his turn been attacked by the Patriots
joined by General SPENCER, and driven out of Cor-
dova with great slaughter.—The report appears to
rest on no authority whatever.

A letter from very good authority at Corunna.l
dated the 3] st ult. confirms the reports we have re-
ceived as to the Victories of the Patriots in Valencia,
Murcia, and Saragossa, at least so fi.r as a repetition
of those reports can be called a confirmation. This
letter further adds, chit an insurrection had taken
place in Madrid, on the ‘23c ultimo. This insurrec-
tion, which is said to be the result of an understanding
with some part of the Patriot Force that was expected
to arrive at Madrid in the course of that evening,
must have been of a very hardy character, as JOSEPH
BONAPARTE, with a considerable .force, is known to
have reached that City on the 20th. The result of
the insurrection is not stated, but there is too much
reason to fear that it ca,nnot have been favourable to
the Patriots.

We have given a few more extracts from the Spa-
nish Journals; but they add nothing to the facts be-
fore known.

Wednesday the QUEEN and PRINCESSES took an
airing to Clifden Lodge, where they dined, and then
returned to the Palace to tea.

Yesterday morning his MAarsrv, the Princesses So-
PHIA, AUGUSTA, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lord
WALSINGHAM, Lady GEORGE MURRAY, and Generals
CARTWRIGHT and FITZROY, rode in Windsor Park,
...nd returned to the Palace at twelve.

The QuEzt4 and Princess ELIZABETH took an airing
to Frog:note Lodge, and walked in the gardens a
considerable time.

SANDGATE, JUNE 3.

The harbotw at Folkssone goes on with much icti
vity, and the hopes of the share-holders appear pro-
pdi-tionably to rise; but It is certainty much to be
regretted that the Proprietor:, with the assistance of
Lord RADNOR, had not undertaken that on the larger
scale.

There are some accounts of the workmen on
Folkston harbour having, a few days since, struck
for more wages, but the business i 3 said to be ami-
cably settled.
Some curious experiments have lately been made
at Folkstone, by Officers of the Navy. stationed there,
the object of which is to make a vessel, under every
circumstance, preserve an upright position, so that: ,
by an improved apparatus, the pumps may be worked
with only half the usual labour of the crew. This
invention has for some time been wrapped up in a
mystery, which the different experiments making by
the Naval Captain at that place has been exceedingly
favourable to ; but it seems the necessity for secrecy
' no longer exists, for some of the most respectable
inhabitants were allowed to embark on Tuesday last,
when the last experiment was made, and many
exa-
mined the work previously to their sailing ; from all
whose accounts it appears, that nothing can be more
simple or efficacious than the whole of the apparatus;
and according to report, there does not exist a doubt
that this invention may prove the means of saving
many lives at sca.

MADRID, MAY 13.

The Grand Duke of Berg resides now in the Pa-
lace. The public service goes on as usual. Perfect I
repose reigns in the city. We expect every moment
tidings of the choice of our new King. The abuses
of every kind which exhausted our country, would at
last have brought it to destruction, and without doubt
we should not have escaped the horrors of a bloody
revolution. Now we entertain the hope that our new
Sovereign will gradually, and without violence, re.
store our old Monarchy to its youth again, and that
our longing for amelioration and reform will be at
length gratified.
PARIS, MAY 22.
Yesterday the Senate assembled in order to hear the
proposal of a Senatus Consultum, uniting Parma, Pia-
cenza, and Tuscany with the dominions of France.
MAY 23.—0 n the 13th instant the Emperor held
a review of several corps of infantry and cavalry, near
the castle of Marrac at Bayonne. In the evening, at
six, their Majesties went on board their barge, accom-
panied by several Generals, and visited the Dock-
yards. A vast number of people were present to
witness the disembarkation, and testified their joy at
beholding their Sovereigns, by exclamations of " Long
live the Emperor ! Long live the Empress I"
MAY 24.—Their Spanish Majesties are daily ex-
pected at Fontainbleau, where every thing is in pre-
paration. Several baggage-waggons have already
been sent from hence thither, and a squadron of Chas-
seur Cavalry of the Imperial Guard arrived yesterday,
which will be followed by a detachment of the horse-
guards. According to letters from Tours, his Ma-
jesty was to arrive on the 21st. The Queen, Maria
Louisa, was not expected till the 25th.
On the 18th instant, Baron Vincent, Major-General
in the Austrian service, passed through Nancy, on his
way to this city. M. Alopeus, lately Ambassador of
Russia at the Court of London, passed through the
same town on his return to Russia.
At Argen ton, at Limoges, and all the towns on
the road from Toulouse to this Metropolis, guards of
honour have been raised for the service of his Majesty
the Emperor and King, on his return from Bayonne.
The Funds are 87 fr. 30 c.: the Bank Shares 1348

GHENT, MAY 8.

Pursuant to the commands of his Majesty the Em-
peror, the National Guards in the districts near.the
coasts of the department of the Scheldt have been
put into active service, to the number of 500 men,
from 20 to 40 years of age. • Their destination is the
island of Cadiaat. This town is to furnish 103 men.

FROM THE FRONTIERS OF TURKEY, APRIL 90.
'The change in the Government of Moldavia and
Wallachia has been proclaimed at Jassy, by a procla-
mation from the Russian General Prince Prosotowski.
It appears to have taken place in consequence of a
treaty between the Russian Government and Prince
Ypsilanti. The preparations for the opening of the
Campaign are altogether suspended on the part of the

Russians. The Mussulmans also are quiet; and even
that lover of war, Mustapha-Bayraktar.

GENOA, MAY 4.
A man of war of 74 guns, called De Breslau, was
yesterday launched here, on which occasion the Sea-
prefects gave a splendid breakfast. With inward joy
we see, that in this manner the French marine is
every where tranquil and increasing, while that of
our enemy is wasting in useless blockades. A few
fortunate Expeditions like that of the Toulon fleet
latterly, or a peace which England will net long be
•able to resist, are sufficient to furnish us with a num-
ber of experienced sailors, and to put our fleet on a
balance with that of the oppressors of the ocean. We
already meet with assistance in the mariners of Den-
mark, whom the English have forced to be their ene-
mies and our friends. Again a strong detachment
of sailors of this nation have mar( lied under the direc-
tion of a Lieutenant from Italy, and arrived here
yesterday, on their way to Flushing.

CI.ERKENWELL SESSIONS, MAY 31.

~GilJiam
Buller was indicted for an assault on Mary
Milgram, with an attempt to commit a rape.
The Prosecutrix stated, that the Defendant is a
married man, and of the profession of a surgeon, at
Hoxton, in the 'County of Middlesex. On the day
mentioned in the indictment, she was in the kitchen,
being a servant in his family ; about six o'clock in the
evening he began to take some indelicate liberties with
her, which she indignantly resented. He then pro- '
ceeded violently to attempt the crime imputed to him
in the indictment, and would have accomplished his
purpose, had it not been for her misttcss, who called
the Defendant up stairs to attend one of his patients.
These facts were sworn to by the Prosecutrix ; and
she further stated, that on the Sunday following she
informed her uncle,of the circumstances, and he ad-
vised her to prosecute. In answer to this charge the
Defendant produced several of his neighbours, who
gave him a most excellent moral character ; but a ser-
vant girl, who had formerly lived with him, of the
name of Mary •Halt', being interrogated as to his con-
duct towards her, stated that he had never actually
insulted her modesty but one night; when she was
going to bed, he asked her if there *as room for him
in the same bed ? This untoward circumstance im-
mediately removed the favourable impression of the
Jury in favour of the Defendant, and they found him
Guilty. The Court sentenced him to pay C2O, half
of which was given to the Prosecutrix.

CHING'S PATENT WORM LOZENGES.

MO Parents, Guardians, and others who have the
care of Children, this valuable medicine cannot be too strongly
recommended. Worms are a-disease few children escape. They
destroy the appetite, weaken the orgrs of digestion, produce pains
in the itximach anti vwels, deprive the body of its nourishment,
occasion esnaclatiop and paleness, stop the progresi bf grbwth, ind
are the cause of the most alarming convulsions, which too often
terminate in death. Nor are their effect& less severe on grown per,
sons; by ulcerating the stomach and bowels, they are often thi
cause of lingering complaints, which prove fatal at last, and subject
I the patient to the twist excruciating fits of agony and istress. la
childhood, every disease with which a child is ailikted is also hig.l,4
ly exasperated by them. The certainty and safety both of their
prevention and cure, by the above medicine, is so fully established
to the satisfaction of the Public, by the testimony of the first and
most leading characters of the Noblaft, and of others of high
spectability, who have witnessedits remarkableOffects in their own
families, that it is only necessary to observe, this is the period of
the season when such a' medicine ought to be given to children and
others, to prevent any attack of this complaint.

quencer of youthful imprudence, or the enervating indulgences'of
maturity in warm climates, their mode of treatment ensures a safe

TI- E CELEBRATED VEGETABLE SOAP PASTE.
THE Nobility, Gentry, and Public are respectfully
inforMed, that J. DELCROIX has prepared the above va-
luable Soap Pute from a recipe of Mr. Prof funky, his friend, an
eminent Chemist at Warraw who is the sole Inventor and Pro-

and frozen country, for softening, nourishing, and whitening the
skin, and allowed to be a certain preventive against the cold air
chopping the face and hands, and also a most pleasing and edicleit
Soap for Shaving. Nothing can be offered to the admirer of ex-
quisite &Ileac), and fairness equal to this incomparable Paste, whets
a trial of two days will convince of its superior virtues, as well as
superiority over any discovery of the kind ever presented to the
public.

DISTURBANCES AT MANCHESTER:

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM MANCHESTER, JUNM
I am sorry to inform you that the numerous h ~Iv
of cotton-weavers in this town and neighbourhxxi are
yet still dissatisfied with the proposals which the m
ter-manufacturers have agreed on at their meeting List
night at the Bull's Head inn here, which is 10 per
cent. advance on all kinds of cotton goods weaving,
to take place this day (June 1), and 10 per cent. ag tin
advance, to take place on the Ist of August next---:his
makes a full 20 per cent. which does not meet the
approbation of this great body of useful men. Their
demands are, and they do stand out and persist in
having 6s. Bd. to the pound sterling advance, an advance
which is 33 1-3 d per cent.—so that between the m
t-
nufacurer and weaver there is just 13 1-3 d per cent.
and I am sorry to add, at this moment, not any of
them will go to the loom, neither here nor in any part
of the neighbourhood, and upon a moderate calculation
there are not less than 60,000 looms, in the cotton tral.!
only, standing still in this town and neighbourhood
of twelve miles. If any of them are at the shuttle,
parties rush into the house, cellar or garret, and take
it from them. This, lam sorry to say is too true.—
Great numbers of weavers walk in small parties about
the streets, and in a peaceable manner.—l am happy t
say all is regularly quiet. Past 10 o'clock, Wedneazi
night, June 1.
