The Aurora, PAISLEY, arrived at Cork on Friday
last. She sailed from Lisbon on the 16th, but does
not bring any Papers ; the Master, however, reports
that the Allied Army had advanced considerably
from their cantonments. We are sorry to learn that
there has been a very great number of Courts Mar-
tial in our Army in the Peninsula, (and not a few of
them oa Officers,) mostly relating, as we are infor-
med, to the late campaign and the retreat. Our il-
lustrious General is determined to keep up the strictest
discipline, not only among the British troops, but in
the Portuguese and in the Spanish armies, which are
now placed under his command.

had been captured by an American privateer. but was

afterwards recaptured, and sent for Bermuda.
Four American frigates were understood to be at
sea when the Chesterfield sailed from Halifax. The
