Dispatches were yesterday received by Govern.
ment, brought by the STATIRA, from Lisbon, announ-
cing that Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY had arrived there
on the 22d ult. after a passage of seven days.--When
the STATIRA sailed from Plymouth on the 15th ult•
it was believed she had gone to Milford, but she ac-
tually proceeded to Guernsey and convoyed thence
six transports with troops for Portugal.

The STATIRA left Lisbon on the 25th ultimo. The
French v.-ere still in possession of Oporto, but the
advance of Marshal VICTOR towards Portugal had not
been so rapid as was expected ; our troops had taken
the field, and rational hopes were entertained that
Oporto would soon be recovered.
The day before the STATIRA sailed from Lisbon,
the TRIUMPH, 74, and upwards of 70 sail of trans.
pprts, full of troops, arrived in the Tagus, and im-
mediately began to disembark.

Reports were current at Lisbon that the Spanish
Patriots had gained several signal advantages over the
French. These reports were so generally credited,
illuminations and rejoicirws took place at Lisbon for
three days and nights prior to the sailing cf the STA-
Trita.—Great numbers cf re.erchantrr:en and trans.
ports were lying at Lisbon, and the people were in
better spirits than they have been at any period since
the emigration of the Braganza Family.
A rumour had got jot° circulation, just before the
STATIRA sailed, th::: Opot to had again been wrested
from the hands of the French, but it was not believed
to rest on any good authority.
By the STATIRA we have received Portuguese pa-
pers to the l7th.ult. They con.ain no intelligence of
any decisive action, either in Spain or Portugal.—
The Spanish Generals URBINO, LA PENA, and Mo-
r.exa had been convicted of having, sold the army c f
Anchilusia, as well as that of CDESTA, to the French
Generals opposed to them. General CUESTA'S head-
quarters were at Mastaro ; be had been joined by
15,000 fresh troops, and daily expected to have an
action with the French. Accounts had been received
at Lisbon from Catalonia, stating that Generals RE.
DING, the Marquis LAZUN, and FRANCIS() PALAFCX,
had formed a junction with an army of 50,000 men,
and were driving the French before them. The Por-
tuguese papers are filled with fre;ll proclamations to
the inhabitants, calling upon them to exert themselves
for the defence of their country.

Letters from Sweden state, that the proposition
of the Emperor ALEXANDER for appointing the Duke
(4. OLDENBURGII to the RegenCy is acceded to.—ln
other words, the Court of Stockholm is in future to
be as obsequious to the purposes of NAPOLEON, as
any of the subjugated states of the Continent.
Last night a vessel arrived in the River from Hol-
land. Some letters by this vessel state, that it was
believed at Rotterdam, so late as Tuesday last, that
the loss of the French in the late engagements, was
not inferior to that of the Austrians ; and
:that a
report had got into circulation of the latter having
gained a subsequent victory over the left wing of the.
French army, and that the Duke of DANTzte had
either been killed or made prisoner. It was also ru-
moured, the same day, that Saxony had joined Aus-
tria.—By this vessel we have received Dutch Papers,
of the date of Tuesday, but the intelligence which they
bring from the seat of war, comes down only to the
28th ult. and consequently does not enable us to au-
thenticate any of the above reports. The following
is the news they contain: A division of the Austrians,
under the Archduke FERDINAND, had entered Poland,
and the Polish troops are in motion to oppose their
progress. The head-quarters .of the Archduke
CHARLES were at Cham on the 28th ult. This place
is 37 miles. N.E. from Ratislson. The Prince of Ponte
Corvo (BERNADOTTE), was marching by Egra, with
the French troops from the North of Germany, on

their way to the seat of war : mean time the Impeii
Horse and Grenadier Guards had arrived at I.
shut, where they were reivewed by NAPOLFON in
person, and another decided movement against the
Austrians was expected to take place every instant.
The King of SAXONY has issued a Proclamaticn
against Austria, which is given at length in the Dulel,
Papers : it is in fact a dechration of war, and of
course contradicts the reports in circulation, that
Saxony had joined Austria. This document is date)
Leipsic, 27th April.

MUNICH, APRiL 28.
Yes'erday, five Couriers arrived here from the head-quar,r,

The ccrps under the Archduke Charles has taken a

WARSAW, APRIL 17.

The Austrians pave already Coniniellced hostilt, ias against tb
Duchy of Warsaw. On tl r 15th inst. the Ar.:hduke Fertir
tratismitted to the Polish Minister at War, Prince Poniatet:ski, a
printed Declaration of War, dated Gallicia, the 14th of Apr?', ie.
gether with a letter, in which he informed him, that twt:ive Lour.
after the departure of the Messenger who was the hearer of tack,
he should advance into the Duchy of Warsaw wi•': the Aus;:ian
army. The enemy has taken possession of the crcntitr town,
Nowemiasto, on this side of the River Peiica, on the direct road
to Cracow, ten miles from hence.

After the receipt of the declaration of war by Austria an ex.
traordinary Council of State and War was held, at which tie
French Minister resident, De Sura, was present—three ho”rs
afterwards all the regiments of infantry and eavakry stationed
here, with a strong train of artillery, had already brcken up to
march against the enemy. In the night of the 15th, the Minis-
ter of War, Prince Poniatowsky, with his whole Staff, set out
for the army, in order to take the chief command. We 5 kortly
expect to hear that a corps of Polish troops, in consequence of
the Austrian declaration of war, and the viola:ion of the Polish
territory, has entered Gallicia.

Seveial skirmishes have already taken place hetivien tlic Aus-
trian and Polish advanced posts, and we daily expect a eue:,ll
battle in the vicinity of Newemiasto.

' day with his whole retinue.
AMSTERDAM ROYAL COURANT, MAY 9.
By letters from Poland we have received advice of a sznguinary
battle fought on the 19th ult. between the brave Poles and t!,e
Austrian army which was three times as strong as their;, b::t the
issue as yet Is not known. We only know that the 1.500 S.
ons, wko had joined the army of Prince Poniaousky fought
bravely, and did great injury to the enemy by their aruller;.
SUPPLEMfNT EXTRAORDINARY
TO THE PRIVILEGED GAZETTE OF PRAGUE.

" On the 23d April, at nine in the evening, Count.
AVERSPLRO, Adjutant-General to his imperial High.'
ness the Generalissimo, arrived at his Majesty's head.
quarters at Scharding. He was sent on the 2°.,d*:
from the field of battle. The two ChiAS and;
the two armies advanced oft that day to combat
each other—Success was on the side of the Aus.
trians. The Generalissimo caused the post of
Abbach, on the Leber, to be attacked, for which %v.:
had in vain contended the preceding evening, and he
carried it. The third Corps of the army.took Fairport.
Whilst the right wing of the Austrian army was' vic-
torious, the enemy succeeded in getting possession of
Echmuhl, but the presence of the Generalissimo re-
stored order, and thus ended a battle which had lasted
rive days without interruption.—We have in this and
other previous affairs taken a great number at pri-
soners, among whom arc a Lieutenant-General under
the orders of Marshal DAVOUST. The loss on both
sides has been great--We have several Genera's and
Officers of the Etat Major wounded—The first corps
of the army has advanced to Hemmenau, and toucliei
the grand army by Abbach."
