LONDON,
THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH VI, ISV7.

Dispatches were received this morning at t!
Foreign and Colonial Offices, and at the Muir
ralty, from Lisbon, by his Majesty's cutter the
Vigilant, which sailed from the Tagus on the 19th
inst. We understand they do not contain any cell'
&illation of a report which occasioned consider
ble alarm this morning in the City, originating
a letter received at Lloyd's, from their Agent, et
Falmouth, which stated that the Vigilant 11$'
brought accounts that an army of 24,000 Spa'
wish and French troops had entered the Porto'
guese Province of Alenteje. -
The despatches from Lieut.-General Sir 'CC'
CLINTON, are dated the 19th instant, at whiell
time the Head-quarters of the British Arnif
were still at Coimbra.

We received, at an early hour this mornitigt_'
Lisbon Papers to the 18th instant, from which
we make the following extracts. While it
evident from the contents of these Papers tllO
the Rebels have been defeated and dispersed
every direction, it is also evident that the repre'
plantations from Madrid, in the French Paper'
have been greatly exaggerated with respect to the,
numbers of the Rebel troops who have retreated
into Spain, and been disarmed by the Spaniel'
Authorities. Instead of 3000, these Papers stag'
that they know for certain that not more than
1000 entered Spain

(From 0 Portuguez.)
