THE WAR IN THE NORTH.

. •

Two Anholt Mails arrived this morning, by which
we have received some intelligence of great import-
ance. By letters from Guttenburgh of the 2d inst.
we learn, than the French and Russian armies are
now in motion. The latter is described as consist-
ing of 400,000 of the best disciplined troops in the
world ; and it it added, that since the Peace of Til-
sit, no pains have been spared, on the part of Russia,
secretly to prepare the troops for another campaign
against France. The Emperor ALEXANDER, before
lquitting his capital for the Army, solemnly declared
to the Senate, that he would hold no personal inter-
course whatever with BONAPARTZ in future, but at
the head of his troops.
Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ has arrived at Gottcnburgh
with his fleet, and has inspired the Swedes with addi-
tional confidence in the good intentions of Great

Britain. The Journalists are very•clamorous on the
subject of the capture of Swedish merchantmen, by
French privateers, and seem to wish to excite the
indignation of their countrymen against France for
these depredations. They are silent, however, on
the subject of Stralsund and Rugen—aggressions of
a more deadly aspect.

LISBON MAIL.
A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, by which

we have received advices from that quarter to the
18th ult.. They are, as might have been expected,
of the most gratifying nature. Theifall df Badajoz
has palsied the whole of the operations of the French
Army in the Peninsula, and the different corps are
now wandering about without lny, other object than
that of obtaining a miserable and scanty subsistence,
fbr they dare nut return to France without express
orders of recal: indeed, it is evident, from the posi-
tions which they now occupy, that they anxiously

look for such instructions.
It is true that BALLASTEROS eritered Seville upon
the retreat of SOULT, who seems to have had it
in contemplation to unite with MARSIONT, but the
capture of 13aclajoz having frustrated their inten-

. •
Lions, SOULT returned upon Seville, and BALLAS-
TRROS very prudently retired without rlsquing a bat-
tle, in which he could have no chance of success, al-
though Soutep force does not much exceed 7,000
men. The Guerillas continue their vigorous and
' effective warfare; they lately intercepted one of MAR-
MONT'S convoys of provisions, which they instantly ap.
propriated to the use of themselves and their famished,
' countrymen. MARMONT'S, or rather BONAPARTE'S far-,
famed portable milis, which were to keepup a constant
supply of provisions for lois armies in future, were all
destroyed on this occasion. The barbarians, who
have the charge of conveying the unfortunate Spanish
prisoners, still continue the atrocious custom of shoot-
ing in cold blood, those who from wounds, hunger,
and fatigue, are unable to keep up with the escort.—
Four hundred of these miserable beings were lately

massacred in this way within the short distance-of a
league.
The following are extracts from our Lisbon letters:
LISBON, APRIL la.

" General Hill's division is at Almindralege '—
Generals Slade and Long are advanced to Villa-
Franca, observing Souk's movements, while the
Earl of Wellington, with the remainder of the army
through Portalegre to drive Marmont away, who had
advanced as far as Freyned4s, and pushed his parties
as far as Frendas and Celerico ; this diversion, on the
part of Marmont, %vas a good one, as it drew the
Earl of Wellington from the pursuit of Soult, if such
was his intention, raising the siege of Cadiz, and com-
pelling the enemy to evacuate the Andalusias. Our
cavalry, a few days ago, came up with that of the
enemy, near Usagu, killed 100 of them and took 300.
" A quantity of ammunition has been sent from
this place to Badajoz, sufficient to replace all that ex-
pended in the siege. In Badajoz we made 4700 pri-
soners. It is supposed that four of our divisions
crossed the Tagus at Vilha Vilha, on or about the
15th, so that by this time' Marmont must be off.
According to letters of the 13th inst. from Elvas,
Soult immediately retired from Estramadura, after
hearing of the fatal success against Badajos, •It ap-
pears certain that Ballasteros entered Seville, which
was almost'ungarrisoned, but was not able to -retain
possession of that city, because Soult's retreat was di-
rected upon it, he found himself again obliged to eva-
cuate it. However, as in that capital were the prin-
cipal establishments of the French; it is natural to
suppose he caused them great less.
" Letters from Beira Baxa state, that the French
remain making excursions throughout the country,
not being able to do any injury to Almeida, nor even
penetrate by the Coa. They descended along the
frontier, entered lower, and invaded Alpedrenka and
its neighbourhood, and it appears they have even
advanced as far as Freynedlts. Brigadier B. Luor
had previously ordered the flocks to be driven 9ff and
every thing possible removed, agreeably to the wise
instructionrof Government. Their objectmust have
