By the ship Good Hope from Lisbon we have re-
ceived sotre interesting particulars respecting the pre-
sent state of Portugal. The Good Hope left the Tagus
on the 11th ult. On the 9th General BERESFORD had
marched Northward with the combined British- and
Portuguese troops.—The Duke of Dalmatia (Marshal
Sons) had not been heard of south of Oporto. Ge-
neral Ctmsra had sent a detachment of 3000 men
from his army to garrison Badajos, which had been
twice summoned to surrender, and rejected with dis-
dain such a proposition. A considerable body of
French troops was within three leagues of that town.
When off Cape Finisterre, the Good Hope passed, on
the 16th ult. the fleet of transports conveying the va-
valry that followed Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY. They
were sailing under a fine breeze, which fortunately
continued, and must have carried them into Lisbon
within 4,3 hours. With this considerable accession to
the British force in that quarter, there will be no fewer
than 6700 British cavalry in Portugal.

By the Mail frcim Gibraltar several private letters
have been received from the South of Spain. The
Patriots are still described as occasionally obtaining
partial successes over their invaders. The following
letter from Gibraltar will furnish our readers with a
few interesting particulars :
_ _

" GIBRALTAR, APRIL 7.
The J.suatc), frigate sailed yesterday with the
convoy for England, to call at Cadiz.
" Two days ago, the BOMBAY, NORGE, and AM-
BUSCADE, passed through the Gut, with eighteen
transports under their convoy, crowded with French
prisoners, bound from Cadiz to Majorca.
The ELFIN brig of war arrived from Minorca
last night, in 10 days, with dispatches from Lord
COLLINGWOOD for England : Lord COLLINGWOOD was
at Mahon with the fleet, and all was then quiet at
Minorca—the Governor, and the French party in
his interest, who were but few, having all been ar-
rested and confined in the Citadel.

" The Prince Ernest packei arrived this morning
from Malta. •

" General CARTOCIAL'S army, who were in La
Mancha, after a series of skirmishes have been obliged
to fall back on the passes of the Sierra Morena. A
division of CARTOGAL'S army, under General URBINA,
surprised the Polish regiment of cavalry, at Yvennes,
and took about 100 prisoners ; but on the advance of
Marshal LASNES' army, the whole Spanish army re-
treated precipitately on Cuidad Rodrigo, from which
they were also driven back on the Sierra Morena.
" We expect the French Will soon attempt to pe-
netrate into Andalusia.

" Every thing is quiet here; the Garrison is
rnex-
treely healthy, and the e trade in a flourishing con-
dition."

A heavy Glint; was heard at Dover on Sunday
evening from the French coast, 'which lasted about
two hours—probably in honour of the victory gained
over the Austrans.

Just as the post was leaving Dover last night, the
brig Fair American, of New York, arrived in the
harbour from Dunkirk. Tht-passengers stated that
news had reached Dunkirk of the issue of the late
battle, and that great rejoicings had, in consequence,
taken place along the French coast.
We have this day inserted a copy of the correspon-
.dence published by the French Government as an
Appendix to the French Minister's. Report, of which
we yesterday laid a copy before cur Readers. 'We
need hardly observe that is an ex parte statement, pro-
mulgated for the purpose of persuading the world that
the war is one of Austria's own choosing ; that it was
not only unprovoked on the part of BONAPARTE, but
that both he and the Emperor of RUSSIA had exerted
every effort to avert this dire calamity, and that the
Court of Vienna alone is responsible for all the evils
attending, and the consequences likely to result from
it. It would be cagy to shew from facts of public no-
toriety the futility of the pretences set forth in this fri-
volous, though, in some respects, ingenious Manifesto.
—The great c:r:se of complaint is the Austrian arma-
ment—a coorpla:nt which is rendered somewhat ludi-
crous by imputing it to the instigation of the agents
of this country, when a British subject was not per-
mitted to enter the Austrian dominions, and when
Count NIETTERNICH talks of England as the common
enemy of the two empires. The dethronement of
CHARLES IV. is ascribed to the same cause, with equal
defiance of truth and reason. It is not, however,
without a sentiment of vanity that we read the reflec-
tions which are thrown out against Marshals Souls
and NET, for not having prevented the escape of the
British army from Spain—,a sentiment which the
compliment to 'BONAPARTE that his courtly Minister
contrives to found upon it, does not at all either ex-
tinguish or abate.
Private letters of the 3d inst. from Holland, state,
dila the carnage in the recent battles in Bavaria was
dreadful. There is hardly an instance on record where
so much valour was displayed on both sides.,“ The
loss sustained by the French themselves,"` sal the
letters, " might well be inferior to that of the Alto-

Mena, shim loynnt that Oley plated the troops
belonging to the Confederation of the Rhine in the
crest of the battle, who thus sustained the severest
loss, while the Freud) were comparatively but little
ezposecl to danger." .

• Letters of the 19th ult, from Riga state, that new
and very rigorous regulations had been established
there, for enforcing the commercial system which the
Court of Russia, no less than France, had resolved
to maintain. Among other articles, it is determined
that, any ship being seized, having a cargo, on board
proved to come from England, that cargo is to be.
come the property of the informer.

Letters have been received from the Leeward
Islands, which state- that Guadaloupe had offered' to
surrender to the British, but that we could not spare
a sufficient number of troops to garrison the island.
One of the prizes recently taken by the Vinomix,
Captain BRACE, arrived at Plymouth on Saturday ;
she proves to be la Columbo, a large French ship,
laden with coffee, cotton, and indigo, from Guada-
loupe, bound to Bourdeaux.
Saturday was the second day of the Court-Martial
at Chelsea Hospital, on. the Hon. Capt. \V&. Coo-I-
RAN; of the Isth Light Dragoons. The Court went
through theexamina tion of Lieutenant.Cnlouel G RANT,
and Lieutenant-Colonel COLBURNE, as the second
charge.
We are expressly called upon to answer a paragraph
in a Morning Paper, intimating that Mr. DaNteu.,
Candidate for the India Direction, is a Partner with
Mr. BRICRWOOD, one of the Dutch Commissimers.—
Without entering into the merits of their case, we are
authorized to state distinctly, that Mr. DANIELL is a
Partner in the Mercantile House of BRICKWOODS,
DANIELL, and Co. of Ailliter. square, but that he never
was connected with Mr. Bezcxwoon the Commission.

KING'S BENCH. Saturday Mr. Justice GROSE
passed sentence upon George Beaumont, convicted of
publishing a libel upon his Majesty, in a letter signed
TIBEIUUS GRACCH Us." The prisoner is to be con-
fined two years in Newgate, to pay a fine of E5O, and
give security for his future good behaviour in the sum
91E500.

BREAIL—To-day there was no Court of Alder-
men. The LORD MAYDR, after inspecting the returns,
ordered it to continue at its present prices.
THE LOAN.—Yesterday the following parties went
up to the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER—
Messrs. ROBARTS and Co.
Messrs. GOLDSMID, SON, and MozoN.
Sir F. BARING and Co.
Messrs. BARNES, STEERS, RICARDO and Co.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated that he
proposed to borrow—
For the service of England - 11,000,000
Ireland 3,000,000
Prince of Brazil - 600,000

Making topther

•C I ,600 ,000

He said that, in addition, there would be wanted
for Ireland, to be raised in Ireland £1,250,000, either
by loan or by Bills on the Irish Treasury. But, if
both these should be found inconvenient, there would
be an issue of Exchequer Bills in England to the
amount of £1,150,000, to produce► this sum for the
use of Ireland.

He said, that there might probably be required a
further aid of 3,000,0001. by an issue of Exchequer
Bills to that amount beyond the usual vote or credit,
to answer extraordinary demands by our allies abroad.
—Of this sum, a part was for the use of the King of
Sicily, and part for the service of the King of Sweden.'
Advances had already been made in part to both of
these Sovereigts ; but the sum of 3.000,0001. would
cover all the probable demands of our allies, and he
pledged himself that that would he the extent of the
issue of Exchequer Bills beyond the usual vote of
credit.

He then proceeded to state, that of this sum of
14,600,0001. he wished to raise the 600,0001. for the
service of Portugal, in a separate Loan, to be taken
in the Three per Cents. Reduced, the price of which
for the day was 671; but he would say 67. And at
that rate he wished the Loan to be taken, that he
might be enabled to treat specifically with the Por-
tuguese Minister. The Prince of Brazil was not
mtrely to pay the dividend on this Stock, but also
five per cent. thereon as a redemption fund.* The
security of the British Government to be given to the
lenders, who again were to receive security from the
Prince of Brazil.

He proposed that the parties should take 601. of
Four per Cents.-501. of Three per Cents. Reduced,
and the bidding to be in Long Annuities.
A conversation took place on these proposals. The
Gentlemen said, that the division of the Leans would
create counteraction—as one party might have one
Loan and not the other, in which case the smaller
might very much embarrass the greater—and even if
both were taken by one and the same party, yet if the
smaller consisted but of one stock while the larger
was composed of different stocks, there would be great
difficulty in the distribution among the Under-Sub-
scribers.—After considerable discussion on this point,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer agreed to merge the
Portuguese in the Britith Loan, he undertaking to
make the best arrangement with the Portuguese Mi-
nister that he could.

The Gentlemen then expressed their wish that he
would take less of the Loan in the four per Cents.
which was a heavy stock ; but this he positivbly re-
fused ; and it was finally agreed that they should take
601. of 4 per Cents.
601. of 3 per Cents. Reduced.
And make the bidding in Long Annuity. The De-
posit of 10 per Cent. to be made.on Tuesday the 16th
instant, and the Discount to be at the rate of 3 per
Cent. per Annum ; which is worth 11. 15s. 7d. The
Property Tax not to be charged on the first half year's
dividend.

The payments to be—,
10 per Cent. 16tk May, 15 ter Cent. 20th October.
10 16th tune. 10 -- 17th November,
15 -- 41st July. ;o—•• 18th December.
10 16th Anima. 10 ------- 12th January.

The bidding to take place on Friday next.
