LISBON MAIL.

A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning, brought to
Falmouth by the Lady Arabella Packet, which left
the Tagus so late as the 27th ult. The prospects
now held out of the state of affairs in the Peninsula
are every where brilliant. No great battle has been
fought it is true, but the enemy is harassed in every
direction, and we do not see how it is possible for the
French troops to retain possession much longer of any
portion of the Peninsula. The Dispatches froth Lord
WELL INOTON, brought by the above Mail, are dated
at Fuente Guinaldo, on the 20th ult. their contents
will be found in the subjoined extracts:
