EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LISBON, DATED APRIL 4.
. gs Lord WELLINGTON has ordered the cavalry of the
whole Army to extend itself in every possible direc-
tion all round the country ; for such is the scarcity of
forage, that it is utterly impossible for subsistence for
the horses to be found. The Household Brigade,
composed of the Life Guards and the Blues, is :ca.
boned at the villages on the banks of the Tagus, from
ten to twenty miles from Lisbon : forage is conveyed
to them by water regularly. You may conceive the
expence attending this method of finding food ; for
the hay and oats are ail 'brought in transports from
England, nothing being to be procured here of any
sort. The Hussar Brigade marches this day for can-
tonments, also, on the banks of the Tagus, which is
the only plan that can be adopted for feeding them.
The 18th Hussars march first, are followed by the
15th, the 10th bringing up the rear : they march in
divisions of three troops each. The 4th Dragoon
Guards, commanded by Colonel SHERLOCK, march
in this day, dismounted, for embarkation for Eng-
land. That officer is ;aid to be much annoyed and
mortified at what he considers a very degrading mea-
sure, by the regiment being dismounted for the pur.
pose of turning over their horses to the Germans ;
and in addition to that, it being a German-Officer '
who performed the duty of dismounting them. The
9th and 11th Dragoons follow successively, also dis- ,
mounted, to embark from the same cause. We have
nothing to expect at present in the way of opening ,
the campaign; for Lord Wscumarort, to the present
scarcity of forage, cannot possibly take the fi •1d ; and
he is perfectly safe, in his present situation, from all
attacks of the French, who.must be as badly of, fur
all their resources are drawn from France."

The following General Orders were issued at Fre-
nada, on the 14th ult. :
" Head-quarters, Frenada, March 14, 1819.

" The various Orders which have been issued at different I
times by the Commander of the Forces, to prevent the mlston.
duct and outrages committed by the soldiers of the aril's,. on- 1,
their marches through the country, have been generally occasion.
ed, immediately by some disaster that bad occurred, and by the I
fall of one or more soldiers, in contests with the inhabitants, for
the protection of that property, of hbich the soldiets were deli•
rous of depriving them.
" The Commander of the Forces, therefore, trusted that his
repeated Orders on this subject would have been obeyed, and
particularly as they contain directions for the adoption of a line
of conduct applicable to every ease that can occur, which, if
adopted, must prove a remedy for the evil, and mu,t prevent the
outrages complained of, and their consequent m%fortunes.

" Ensign Ross, of the 91h3, was brought befure a Court Ku.
tial, for neglect of those Orders ; and for which crime the Get
neral Court Martial, of which the Hon. Colonel O'Callaghan is
President, have s'entenred that he should be reprimanded; sod
he is hereby reprimanded accordingly.
" The Commander of the Forces trusts, however, that the
Officers of the Army will consider the object of the Orders, the

netlect of which is now under comideration, and will find mo.
titres for attending to them, ineheir desire to save t'e lives cf
their men, which might be wanting in the example betore them,
in the consequences of a neglect of those Orders."
