cacti hem General HILL."

*Mar 9.--The Royal Highlanders, 1000 strong,,
ebb lately arrived, are the admiration of every person
here. An equally line body of men, and certainly as
effective, are the 4th, or King's Regiment, 1000
stung also, are arrived from Ceuta. The sth and
sethi ant2Oth regiments arc daily expected front I
Wand, and more cavalry from England. The rein-
loseetnents already arrived will increase Lord Wet..
sauna 9000 men. The 77th regiment has come
awn lately from the army with only 80 men, all the
se being in hospitals or dead. This regiment came
althorn England, within thesetwelve months, 900
1080 g. The Cameronians are recoverilig their health
era they came here, and hope they will in a little
Otte be able to return 'to their duty with the army.
*Baclajos, Estremoz, and Elvas, have for some
fee been crowded with about 5000 officers and men.
operations have been performed, but the
wended ate doing well, particularly General KEMPT.

some wheys are going to England, as well as Gene-
rals &arson!) and STEWART, the brother of Lord
(AIitEREACIII."

" Mat 10-- Of late we have received nothing impor.
tint from our armies. Lord Wea.LiNGTON is, however,
constantly on the alert, and keeps his troops in con-
stant action. We are informed that he intends mov
log on towards Cadiz. General HILL is going in the
direction of Almarez, probably to attack it. The
trench in Spain are represented as being much dis-
iitisfied, and the soldiers desert very frequently.
a The rumour of an embargo in America has
piled the prices of grain and flour ; the latter article
has been sold so high as twenty. mitres (or twenty.
Awn dollars) per barrel, an almret unprecedented
price, but within the last four day, we have had a
great many arrivals from America, in conseqdence
of which flour has fallen again very considerably."

Our Nal continues in excellent health and spirits.
Mach to the satisfaction of all ranks, the Ligtat Di
vision, which was commanded by the late General
CRAWFORD* has been given to General CIIA KLEE
ALM, one the ablest Officers in the Peninsula,
and highly popular with the army. The fourth di-
vision has been given to General ANsoN until Gene-
ral Cots goes out. Generals Horn, PRINGLE, and
GOLDIE have joined • the army ; but several more
General Officers are expected from England.
The effects of the American embargo had already
been felt in the market of Lisbon. The first arrival
of the intelligence occasioned an immediate advance
in the price of grain and flour : the latter, at one
tome, as sold as high as 22 dollars per barrel ; but
succession of fariher arrivals from America had
%raja considerably reduced the price.

FROM THE WEST INDIES.

*ft have afratiihad occasion to stte, that there
.vas every reason to believe that the French Revoca-
tion of the Berlin and Milan Decrees had been anti•
dated for lotne nefarious purpose. This we think
witl appear Undeniable, when we cgn prove that the
French have been acting updn these Decrees ever
since the commencement of the present year, as is
too evident from the subjoined letter :
PLYmoLnu, MAGI 24.

•' Arrived this morning the ship Patent, of Lon-
don, Captain M‘MAsrens. She sailed from hence
a short time since for Jamaica, but on the 17th inst.
in lat. 30$ long. 14. she fell in with the enemy's squa•,
dron, consisting of the Ariane, 44 guns Andromache
44 gun 4 and the Mameluck, of 16 guns, under the
command of Commodore Flamm This squadron
left Nantz, 9th January, and a few days after chased
the SURVEILLANTB frigate into Corunna, since which
they have been to tke West Indies, but did not touch
at any of the islands. The object of the cruize ap-
pears to have been wholly plunder, in which they
have unfortunately but too well succeeded, as will
appear by the following List of Vessels captured, the
greater part of them had valuable cargoes; the
enemy either burnt or sunk all of them, after taking
out the most valuable things on board :

" The first vessel captured by the above squadron
was the Nancy of Guernsey, Captain CHILDS, from
the Brazils bound to Guernsey. They captured,:
also, two other American ships, whose names I can.,
not learn., The ship Patent, who beings the above'
news, was given up as a cartel, and has on boardl
about 150 of the crews of the above-named vessels.
The Patent left the enemy's squadrofi on the 18th
inst. in lat. 40. long. 14. Next day fell in with his 1
Majesty's ship ACHATES, and gave her intelligence.
A few days after fell in with two frigates, the Sxlu-',
tt*uus and the ANDROMACHE; and since that with,
the HELICON gun-brig.—So that if the enemy atH
tempts tt: get into any of the Western Ports, it is to
be hoped they be intercepted. Some of the
Masters think they w ill proceed north about, and en-
deavour to get into the TL eel or Norway : others of
the Masters think they w•ijl keep to the southward,
to await a gale, and rup fur Bourdeaux, or some of
the Western Ports."

Letters to the 20th instant were yesterday received
from France. The arrival of General LSFESVRE was
no longer attempted to be kept a secret. That officer,
after his disgraceful breach of parole, was landed at
Boulogne by one of our own countrymen.
Peukerntalussr.—A Mr. Pall undertook on Satur-
day, for a wager of 100 guineas, to go on foot from
London to 13eaconsfield (24 miles) in three hour.-....-
He performed 16 miles in two hours, when he began
to flag, and was beat by time in the next mile.
