with the.utrtaost activity, to sail for Figueira, to join

Sir ARTHUR.

JUNOT had marched out of Fort St. Julian, with
about 8000 men, but for what object we have not yet
learnt. It appears, however, that his friends the Rus.
:ions were undqr some apprehensions respecting his
designs ; for it was known before the Encounter came
away that the officers belonging to the Russian ships
had landed the principal part of their crews, who were
then throwing up works on the opposite side of the
river to that on which fort St. Julian is posted, to
cover their fleet, should the French make any attempt
to attack them.

There is something very strange in all this, but it
is more than probable that a good understanding does
not subsist between the French and Russians. This
conjecture receives some degree of probability from
the following circumstance :. —The Russian Admiral
I had actlally sent a flag of truce to Admiral Sir
1
I CHARLI3 Corroer, commanding the British ships off
the Tagus, for the purpose of enquiring 44 what news
, from England, as he had not heard from his Court
for four months ; nor had the French received any
1 instructions for three months." •

Mr. BASILIC:Op who lately • carried out dispatchet
for Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY, came home in the EN-
COUNTER, and was the bearer of dispatches from Sir
ARTHUR with which he arrived at Downing-street,
this morning.
The next arrival may be expected tb trtng ac'.
counts of the surrender of JUNOT, and also of •the
Russian fleet, as it was understood that Sir ARTHUR
r was determined not to lose a moment in his operations
11 after being joined by General SPENCRR.
All doubts, if any were entertained, respecting the
surrender of DUPONT, may be considered as now at
an end. The Polly. from Gibraltar -for Gueraiey,
which sailed from the former place on the 24th Olt.
and has arrived at Plymouth, states, that at the time
she sailed there was a general illumination at C;112..
raltar,- and on beard the ships of war in the bay,
official accounts having been just received by the Go-
venor of the surrender of DUPONT.

We have given, in our preceding columns, a Pro-
clamation issued at Lisbon by Juxor, signed under
his new title of Duke of ABRANTES. Every line of
it breathes the imminent danger of his situation, and
his terrors at the rising spirit of the Country. The
'ferocious threat with which it concludes, is the lan-
guage of a barbarian driven to despair.
The Gazette of Saturday night contains Addresses
Ito his MAJESTY, from the cities of Dublin, Norwich,
land Bristol, and the Merchants of Glasgow, and the
Presbytery of Kircudbright, in congratulation of the
glorious cause of the Spanish and Portuguese nations.
The troops which lately arrived from Gottenburgh
under Sir Joni; MOORS, but now under the.command
of Sir HARRY BURRARD, and which sailed from Ports-
mouth on the 2d inst. for Portugal, did not get down
off Falmouth till Monday last, when they were in lull
view from Pendennis Castle. They amounted to about
24.0 sail, ender convoy of the AUDACIOUS 74, &c. and
carried one of the finest arm es that ever sailed from
England, amounting to 14,000 men. It then blew
fresh from the south-west, and in the evening great
part of them were lying-to in the bay between Fal-
mouth and the Manacles. Early on Tuesday morn-
ing a fine breeze sprung up to the Northward, and at
SA. M. they were all out of sight. Four or live of
them had sustained damago by running foul of each
other in the Channel, and one of them was observed
to be in tow of a frigate. The wind continued to
blow smartly from the North, till about ten o'clock
on Wednesday morni.l;, when it changed to West,
and from thence to South. But there is reason to be.
lieve that they carried the fair wind far with them s
by this time, we trust, they have made Cape Finis.
'tare. There can be no doubt, however, that the 2d
and 20th regiments, which left Falmouth for Porta•
gal under General ACKLAND, after this expedition
had sailed from Portsmouth, will be there nearly a
week before them. So tedious to a large fleet is the
navigation of a narrow seal •
Ritviaw.—The whole of the military force in Sus-
sex and the nighest parts of the adjacent counties
were reviewed on Friday at Brighton, in compliment
to his Royal Highness the Prince of WALEs, on his
natal anniversary.
So early as seven o'clock all the windows in front
of the Pavilion, Marine and Grand Parade, were
filled withladies and gentlemen, provided with glasses,
and all eager to have a complete view of the scene.—
About nine the Prince's band, dressed in new uni-
form, began playing on the lawny where .they con-
tinued until eleven o'clock, by which time every
avenue to the Pavilion was surrounded with company,
to see the Royal party proceed to Newmarket Hill.
At half past eleven they yrere gratified by the appear-
ance of the cavalcade ; it consisted of near fifty per-
sons. His Royal Highness proceeded to the Hill
I mounted on a grey charger, richly caparisoned, the
saddle-cloth being of scarlet, richly embroidered in
gold ; the bridle was ornamented at the horse's bead
with bullion tassels, covered with shells; the stirrups
were of solid gold. His Royal Highness was dressed
in the uniform' of the 10th, and wore a superb dia-
mond star on his bouts& The Duke of YORK was
on the right side of his Royal Brother ; alltke Royal
Dlifei," who iiere—Wrifisa imiforin; followed on
horseback, except the tluke of Sussex, who sat in
one of the carriages. They proceeded to Newmarket
Hill, which of the grandest military
'spectacles ever witness!' sit that, part. The line was
formed of near 12,000 men, and extended near three
miles. The fineness of the day gave full effect to the
scene, which exhibited near 0,000 spectators, and
the ntost numerous display of equipages ever collected
rtogether on that coast. As soon as the Royal Party
arrived, a salute of 21 guns w...s fired from the artil•
lery, which was on the right of the line. The Royal
Party proceeded down the line, and returned to the
. centre. The men then fired a flu de jut in honour
of the day, which was answered by the 'shipping.--
