By the burn cutter, arrived at Falmouth from
Lisbon, we have received Lisbon Papers and Private
Letters to the 7th ult. Vic•roa's army, after having
advanced so far on the A/ay to join SouLT, had again
retreated; and the Private Letters by the Joslyn
state, that Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY was closely pur.
suing the former. SorLT'S army, reduced to 8000 men,
had reached the North of Spain in a miterable'condi-
tion, and was threatened by the Patriots. Govern-
ment have also received dispatches from Sir A.WEL.
LESLEY, by the Josepl , but their contents are net
suppOsed to be of much importance. Upon the whole,
the condition of our British and Portuguese armies in
Portugal is evidently improving, while that of the
French is daily more hopeless. A fever is said to ha% e
broken out among the latter.
The following is an Extract of a Private Letter
from Lisbon, dated 6th June ;

A vessel arrived here this morning from the
Mediterranean, which-brings a report that the 411)4
bitants of Genoa had risen and massacred every
Frenchman in the city. It is also rumoured that Soult,
after having surrendered to the Marquis de la Ro-
mana, was shot while endeavouring to effect his

escape."

SEVILLE, MAY SS.

A division of 4500 men, commanded by General
Bonnet, has been entirely def'ated at Sahagan by the
division of the Marquis de Romana. In conseqbence
of this defeat the road to St. Ander is open.
The Duke of Albuquerque slept on the 17th at
Ronquillo, and followed Cuesta.
A great number of artillerymen will be imme-
diately sent to Callicia.

LISBON, JUNE 6.
The last aecou2N from- the frontiers of Alern-',Tejo
continue to speak of the retreat of Victor ; a consi.
derable part of his forces are, it is said, in the vicinity
of the Bridge of Almaraz.

COIMBRA, JUNE S.

• According to intelligence from Badajos of the
26th ult. it appears that the. army of Victor was re-
tiring towards its former posh on, abandoning Alcan-,
tara. The French column which w7.s stated in our
last to have been )eaten neat.- Lugo, Monp:ed to Mar-
shal Ney, , and not to Sonic, who, according to the
latesraccounts, was at Alhatiz. The Marquis or
Romana is preparing to attack him. •
General Victor is. ,:ucamped in Torryquiemada
and its ezvirens, with the grenadiers of the division of
Lai'esse, which consists of .7'UO infantry and 7(O
cavalry. General Vtlaqe is at Torre Orgas, where
he occupies the palace of the Marquis, with three
tiler Generals and the officers of his clivkion, which,
in number 8000, is encamped in that ncighhourLood.
In Torre Mocha and Rhanes there is another divi-•
sion of infantry. The cavalry of the vanguard is'
stationed at Truxillo, where, on the 21th ult. arrived
300 covered carts, and for which place the sick and
wounded had set out from Caceus. The whole of
his artillery is placed on the bridges of Torre Orgiz,
Torremscha, and Botija. In every town through
• which he passed, he has committed the greatest bar-
barities, killing all who attempted to escape to the
mountains.

Soon after our paper was put to press yesterday,
we received Dutch papers to the Z-th June. Their
contents serve to explain the cause of the firing from
the batteries on the French coast the night bef ,re last.
The commencement of the 19th French Bullptin is
theatric--"• The anniversary of the battle of Marengo
has been celebrated by the victoty of the Raab," but
we venture to assert that- a the victory of the Raab"
will not have its anniversary celebrated.
The bulletin is dated from Vienna the 16th ult. and
announces a battle between the Archduke JOHN and
the Archduke PALATINE, on one side, and the Viceroy
of Italy on the other. The French claim the victory.
The Austrians, they say, lefl SCOO dead upon the
field, lost :30(tO prisoners, six pieces of cannon, and
four standards. Their own loss they estimate at about
9M killed and wounded.

The French admit a loss of 9CO in obtaining this
victory. Our Readers will recollect that their loss,
according to their own statement, in the battle of the
21st and 2r.%! May, was only 1100, and from a com-
parison they will he able to form- some opinion of the
kind of victory they have obtained upon the present
occasion. We have no doubt that the eneniy has
given more importance to this affair than it deserves.
111? main- army undLr NAPOLLON seemed, from its
long inactivity, to require a little auxiliary bolster-
ing, and hence the labalred details of the battle of
Raab, which evidently was of much less importance
than that of the Piave of which mush less was said. '1
It is pleasing :Aso to observe, corps of Austrians,
which were -assorted to have been completely de-1
stroyed, starting up anew, and still giving the enemy
convincing proofs of their existence. Thus we find
J►z.r,nctucri's corps and the corps that was in the Ty.
rol have effected their retreat through Carinthia, and

.;.ar.

•.', • the arierorthe Archduke lowa The; ulxa-
kittens of Hungary are said to remain tranquil, but
this we de not believe, indeed from ten to l 2,000 of
the Hungarian insurrection are admitted to have been
in the battle.
We are strongly inclinedto believe that the rumours
which came so repeatedly from Holland of tbe French
having sustained a defeat, had its origin in the events
detailed in this bulletin and we expect when the
Austrian accounts 'shall arrive that they will be found
to claim the victqry.—ln fact the vessefby which these
papers arrived, has again brought the same report,
wkich chews very plainly what is the general senti-
ment in Holland respecting the present state of affairs
with the contending armies.
The private letters, which come down to the 28th
ult. *confirm the accounts before received of the King
of Wesrenaua having been obliged, in consequence
of the height to which the insurrection in the North
has been carried, to fly to Franckfort for refuge—No,r
are they free from apprehensions in Holland, that an
insurrection will soon break Out in that country in.
deed some of the letters assert that in some district,
the Dutch, oppressed by the severity of the conscrir-
tion, and irritated by the destruction of their corn.
merce, had actually broken out into open acts of hos-
_ _

This Dutch Papers mention, on the authority of
the Parisian Journals, that ALLXANDUR had not -quit,
ted his capital on the 30th of May. In letters dated
=►.he 7th-instant, no notice is taken pf his departure at
that time.

Last night a mail arrived from Heligoland, and
brotighi letters to the 27th instant. They speak fa-
vourably of the state of aiLirs, which were there un
derstood to look favourable to the Austrians. Some
of the letters state, that both Hamburgh and Bremen
had been abandoned by the French ; but they had
so few troops in' these cities, that the information is
not of consequence, otherwise than as is shews that
the enemy is under such embarrassment in the
South of Germany, that he finds it expedient for the
purpose of acquiring a trifling accession cf strength,
to withdraw his forces from these important situations.

The following setter, which has been received from
a very respectable quarter, confirms the statements
already given of the commercial policy maintained
by the Court of Russia :

" RIGA; JUNE 9.

" The riot severe• measures are resorted to, to prevent any
thing frcm England being admitted. Near 15 vessels and cargoes
,are already condemned; the Danish and French Ministers having
, severally declared the certificates' ces.nterfeit, which have been
e.,:tihited from Bergen and ports of HolMnd. A Commiodon, in
which all the Consuls are to sit, has been appointed to examine
tilt I.:trent of every vessel that enters any Russian port.. This
;:in a.ly causes much delay ;'and a large premium is to he held out
for every one that proves a fraud, in which the Captain and crew
tro to participate, if they favour the condemnation, which fol-
lows of course."

By letters from Heligoland, of the 10th inst. we
understand, that the quantity of rfp:Tchandize, at pre-
sent on the island, is immense. The beach is literally
strewed with goods, for whick it is.almost impossible
to find ware; on:c room ; and upwards of 40 vessels
scci-e waiting till the shore was clear to discharge
their cargoes.
