LISBON PAPERS.

Just as we were sending this Paper to press, we re-
ceived Lisbon Journals from the 19th to the 25th
ultimo, from which we give the only extracts that
the time will permit. The previous Journals from
the 3d to the 19th have not yet been received ; but it
appears by those before us that nothing of impor-
tance can have taken place, as active operations were
not to commence before the 12th instant.

si LISBON, APRIL 2s. •
" General Castanhas has his head-quarters in Al-
dea de Bispo.

" LISBON, APRIL 44.

64 Our army is expected to advance before the 12th
of May; all the divisions are .closing up ; the last of
the artillerrhnrses set off this day for head-quarters,
which are at Freyneda."

The tilkonny and Huntingdon Militias &seal-
barked% on the 19th ult. at Liverpool • and the ves-

Lida, which sailed in the 22d for Dublin.

The Roscommon Regiment of Militia has landed

The South Mayo Militia has sailed from Bristoi

A Detachment of the King's GermPn Lesion ;

The Detachments of the 9th, 1 kb, 26th, and 37'
Regiments, now at Hilsez, proceed immediately
join their respective Battalions at Gibraltar.
A Detachment from the 2d Battalion of the 92d

who are expected to be ordered for England.
The Ist Battalion of the 73d Regiment is to be

46th. now at Jersey, is under orders to be in readi.
ness to embark for that Colony.
The 55th Regiment of Foot have marched ii
Colchester Barracks from Canterbury.

The Spanish troops which lately arrived from Ca-
diz, in the Iphigenia Spanish frigate, and are des-
tined to form a part of the Body Guard of the Crown
Prince of SWEDEN, were lately reviewed at Ports-
mouth, by Major General the Earl of Five and Ma-
jor General Dowtite. Though the weather was un-
favourable, the sight much gratified a number of the
inhabitants.

Erroneous statements having appeared in the pub-
lic papers, respecting the part which the Foot Guards
took at the Opera House on Saturday last, we are
authorised to give the following true statement of the
case :—On the disturbance taking place, one of the
Police Officers ordered the eight sentinels behind the
scenes (who always have their bayonets fixed) to clear
the stage, which they in a quiet manner attempted to
do ; the Officer on duty on seeing this immediately
repaired to the spot to order back the men to their
posts, with the view of preventing mischief. The
statement that the guard was disarmed is untrue ; one
man, a very young soldier, lost temporary possession
of his arms, and two men lost their bayonets, whilst
in the act of unfixing them, being so directed by some
officer of their own corps. The arms which were
thrown into the Pit, and flourished about on the stage,
were those taken from the men who are hired at the
Theatre to perform in the Ballet. The remainder of
the guard, who were stationed at the outside of the
house, were not brought forward.
