Fahnouth in thirteen dart br.thelratinglrarlilli
Two Spanish couriers with diniatcheeitaveiutiffids"
the Wilsinglitin. .
Before the packet sailed they had heard of the
ire-
ported rupture between France and Austria. and the
intelligence received full ctedlt. Ie was reported' at
Lisbon that thS French had sustained' another d'efeat
before Saragossa, in which they had lost 7000-men.
The English troopi still remained at Lisbon amain
the neighbourhood, in all between • five and six i.thott-
sand men. They were under orders to •Itold thern-
selves in readines to embark at hours notice:—
An embargo is laid on all Portuguese shipping as (bey
arrive, for the purpose of conveying.awey all valuable
property, in the event of the French entering- the
country.
About 70,000 of the French troops that were expect-
ed at Lisbon remained in Gallicia, having been pre-
vented from advancing by a total want of necessaries
for their march. The country is, so completely ex-
hausted, that till they shall receive supplies from
France it will beimpossible for them to execute their
intended reoccupation of Portugal.. ' . •
Several passengers have arrived by the Walsing•
hard,' among whom are the Bishop of the Queen of
Portugal, JOHN Preme, Esq: WlCettet; Esq.
and JOHN tt:LKELEY7 Esq. and family.

Portuguese paper, the Li,bon Gazette, of the 14th ult
GRANADA, JANUARY 23.
A letter has been intercepted, sent by a French
Major-General to. Joseph Bonaparte. In it he endea-
vours to dissipate the apprehensions he might enter-
tain of the situation of the empire anti his army. He
expresses, at the ;erne time, much dissatisfaction at
the dispoSitions of the Duke of. Dantzic ; and men-
tions the loss which the Reath suffered near Bete-
vente. It is said that a Deputation went from Madrid
to compliment Napoleon when at Valladolid, (one of
the Deputies of which. was Geheral Min-la, well
known by the capitulation of Madrid) ; but itis said
that this Deputation was so insulted and ill treated
by the peasants, that it could not complete its journey.

Among the recent arrivals in England, is one which
we think curious. The late accredited Spanish Am-
bassador at the Hague, the recognized representative
of CHARLES IV. has been permitted to leave his post,
and is come to this country. His Excellency, it ap-
pears, refused to recognize Don JOSEPH NAPOLEON as
King of Spain, acknowledging FERDINAND VII. only
as his Sovereign.
The appointment of Lieutenant General the Ho-
nourable Jour HOPE to the command of the Kent
District, in the room of Sir GEORGE J. LUDLOW, is
officially confirmed ; besides •which, the following
Officer. are appointed to local commands in the same
District :—Major General the Honourable g,nwAßn
PAGLT, at Hythe and Shorncliffe—Major General

neral CAMPBELL—Major General JAMES LEITH, at
Ashford—and Colonel J. C. CRAUFORD, to the Bri-
gade of Infantry in Deal Barracks.

dered the price of Bread to be continued at Is. 31d.

Council at Guildhall, to consider the printed Report

It is the -Cf,AUDTA frigate which has arrived from
the Cape of Good Hope with dispatches of the 29th
of December. She was sent home very unexpect-
edly, and was directed nor to divulge on her arrival
the cause of her sailing with such secrecy.
We have ascertained that Some dispatches intended
for the French Governmenthad been intercepted by
one of our ships -trnizing off the Isle of France, which
were found of cOnsiderable importance; they state that
a very valuable' fleet of ships were about to sail for
France from thence; to ' intercept whieh,. Admit-Al
Bends had employed the whole of his disposable forte'
at the Cape, and very sanguine expectations'- *ere
entertained that the fleet' would 'be fallen 'in with
by them. Lest this •precstution',..however; might be
fruitless, the Admiral, with that juagmem for whieh
he is so celebrated, sent a fast-Itiling -slap with 'the
intercepted dispatches 'to England, for, the purpose
of conveying the earliest intelligence to the Admiral ty.
Yesterday morning advice vas received at Carlton
House from Sir Jolly STErnEY,larnionneing the death
of her Royal Highness'the DuChest Of CeutiEtttAND,
at her retreat in Switzerland.
On •Friday last, after resting one night,in Berkely- ,
square on' their way through town from Cornwal',
the remains of the Honourable EDWARD .W ALi AE,
GRA NM, who unfortunately perished on board the Dis-
patch transport, were deposited in the family vault at
Navestoke. The Earl of WALnEOItAVE, anxious to
pay the last. tribute of regard to the memory of a la-
mented brother, attended on the occasion, as Chief
Mourner, together with his brother-in-law, Mr.
MICKLETHWAITE, and other friends. It most have
been highly gratifying to his Lordship to have seen a
number of his tenantry voluntarily come forward to
mark their respect and attachment to him and his
family by joining the possession in deep mourning. •
Yesterday morning, at ten o'Cloek, the remains of
Lord OKI ORD were taken from his house in Bruton-
street, Berkeley-square, in a hearse, accompanied by
some of his Lordship's relatives and friends, in two
mourning coaches, and set out for hii seat at Wol-
taton, in Norfolk, where the body will be interred in
