dajosi they have also a great numbei of deserters

are put under qdarantine, having come under convoy
of a sloop of war that has been in the Xlesliterreaeao.

lisllON, MAY v 7.
44 Lord WELLINGTON'S bead-quarters still cond.
nued on the 23d, I hear, at Puente Goimildo : hut a
general movemen. in some direction was
ately expected, after so long a cessation from active
operations, contrary to Ms Lordship's usu d practice.
Indeed, for himself, they do not believe &cod(' long
exist without being on horseback 16 hours (an at
every 24.. In default of other employment; he oft**
lamuses himself by hunting.
While the hems, who conquered Bad:+ve, are
.hus a joyi.zlittle repo,;,, which they have .c) well
curia., the gallant Sir ROWLAND HILL and his divi.
sion have achieved a conquest scarcely inferior it;
consequence, and what is still more gratifying, wit's
a loss comparatively trifling indeed.
On the 19th, General HILL'S division, con.iring
of one British and one Portuguese briga.h, su•prised
and captured by escalade, in less than an hour, the
town of Almazez, with an immense depot of I)rovi.
sions and stoles of every kind, belonging to SouLti'e
army.
The united British and Portuguese loss in k;lled
and wounded, consists of only 110 men ; and these
principally of the 40th and 71st Btitis).4 and 4th and
9th Portuguese. The only officer I have heard of as
killed, is Captain CAMPBELL, of the 50th.
44 It is the universal opinion here. tha: Portugal
being new completely clear of the enemy, I.oi d
LINGTON will very shortly push into Spain, eitticrAtter
MAUMONT in the Nunn, or SOULT in the South. in
the latter case, he will endeittour to drive the French
.tram before Cadiz—thither, it is reported, two divi-
sions are to proceed :rom hence Orem. 'l'be
who have been here a considerable time, sickly, have
sailed for Gibraltar to relieve a regiment thae,l2oo •
strong, which are expected here."- .
