LISBON MAIL sfet 401:f'i
Suit N this Paper !ras goiag,to press, i Lisbon
Marl arrived. By the 'letters it appears, that an the
11th oil, dip enemy at Burgos 'made a third seibie,
when they Were xgain driven into their works."'"."

The last dispatches from Mars:pis WELLINGTON
were dated the l lth, and mentioned two sorties—
the last of which had taken place on the Bth. 'This
third sortie must of course have' taken plice at an
hour subsequent to that at which the dispatches were
sentlff.
'the delay in the capture of this place is much to
be regretted. There is some talk of SOULT pressing
towards Madrid.

$g LISBON, OCTOBER it
" It Is supposed, in letters of the $d October, that
Souve would march by Jumilla for Almanza, and
that Suciirr would protect him to Hillen.
al Ballasteros was still in Granada, on the 6th of
October.

" According to intelligence of the 11th from Se-
ville, Soult's troops were in St Clement."
44 LISBON, OCTOBER 20.
" Qn the 11th instant the garrison of Burgos made
a sortie, and were repulsed.

a SouLT, it is apa confidently asserted, is march-
ing towards Madrid, and a battle is expected."

,4 MADRID, OCT. 12.

14 The French have collected in St. Domingo (De
Vitoria) 50 pieces of artillery, brought from Castile ;
they talk there of the retreat of the intrusive King.
supposing he would go to Pamplona ; and that Mas-
sena continued in Bayonne, where be was ford-
lying the points of St. Juan de Luz and Chrduna."

joined Suchet, the number of their joint armies are
estimated at from 50 to 60,000 men. Some suspect
that Soult will march towards the Tago, and that this
operation will retard the progress of the Marquis of
Wellington.

s, It would not be wonderful that should they even
collect from 30 to 40,000 men, that they may attract
the attention of the great Marquis of Wellington. If
we consider the number of the allied troops who are
upon the Tagus, those of the second and third army
in Tarancon, the army of General Ballasteros, in
Jaen, Ike. the expeditionary army from Alicant, and
the junction of the Guerillas,—lt does not appear
probable that two Marshals will attempt an opera-
tion which might cost them dear if Lord Wellington,
marching by Rioja, passed the Ebro."

Letters from Lisbon, dated the 17th ult. were te-
ceived by Government this morning, but they bring
nothing new from the Marquis of WELLINGTON; and
yet it is reported, on the authority of an arrival from
the French coast, that Burgos had fallen. We sin-
cerely hope that this intelligence may be correct, al.
though we do not know what degree of credit is due
to the rumour.

Letters from Cadiz were also received, dated on
the 2lst ult. Their contents are of a most gratifying
description. The Spaniards are every where recruit-
ing with great vigour.
The last accounts from BALLASTEROS stated that
he was in Granada with. 16,000 men. SOULT and
SticHay were in the vicinity of Chincilla and San
Clement. JOSEPH had quitted Valencia and proceeded
Ito Saragossa on his way to Fran ce.

A Lady, who lett the coast of Holland so late as'
Friday morning last, has furnished us with a heart_
rending picture of that once flourishing country. The
population now entirely consists of old men, females,
and children—the conscription having drained every
town, village, and hamlet, of the young ind active
part of the community. The degree of poverty and
wretchedness exhibited 'by the inhabitants of: the.
towns baffles all description ; after sunset, silt a
