LISBON, DECEMBER 1.

We have the satisfaction to,inform the public, that
the reverse of fortune experiented by the andy of LI
Mancha, is not so considerable as was at first repre-
sa,ted. The Spanish artillety made a dreadful haioi
among the French, whose loss is ♦ery great. General
Paris is among the killed, the loss in prisoners is fai:
less considerable on the part of the Spanish army,
than it would be in another nation less ittachedlo its
native land, because they all rejoined their differmit
corps. This event protracts,- but alters not the
mate results of our triumphs. nit net the spasjiard§
lose the batik of Medillin,, and along with it all Est
tremadura; and yet a short time after they tendered
theinseltes masters of that province • 'without any
witched battle ? Did they not lose the battle of Ciudad
Real and Almonacid, and in-consequence thereof the
Mancha, and yet they retook the Mancha ? Did they
lose the battle of Ucles, and are they not at pre-
.sent masters of the whole track of ground which
stretches from Cuedta through Ucles to the Tagus.

otre days aglb intelligence was received in this
:aptal of an action having taken place between the
crari;sh and Prench armies, and at the beginning the
!lcs of the Allies wns represented to have been very
severe, without any documents being produced which

rected fire of the Spanish artillery.

Neither the army of the Duke del Parque, nor the
(livisimi of the Duke of Albuquerque, had a share in
the action. The allied array had completely rallied,
and another engagement was expected.
A letter from Caceres, of the 15th November, has

ZACA, by Dri. Panora, and by ALBUQUERQUE, were
to join in La Mancha, and proceed to' Madrid. The
fate of the first is now officially announced, arid we

:,:counts received from Lisbon on Wednesday, and
already published iv this Paper. which stated, that

during the embarkation the enemy tried what his
shells could do from Soups Beveland, but they all
