FROM THE SAME PAPER.

" All the French inhabitants on the island cf Porto
Rico, in consequence of instructions from Spain, had
been ordered to depart from thence as early pos-
sible.

" The GUERRIEREand SPARTAN frigates, of 38 guns
each, Captains Dans and BRENtON, and Joan brig,
of 16 guns, Captain the Hon. V. GARDNLR, were at
Bermuda when Thetis sailed.

Accounts brought by the Rhodian, from Port-
au-Prihce, state, that CHRISTOPHE was still before that
town, but it was-expected he would soon be obliged
to retire, as his force was much diminished. PETION'S
squadron had captured one of CHHISTOPIIE'S brigs,
and destroyed another. We are sorry to state, that
the last accounts from Mexico, via Havanna, repre-
sent the Insurgents to be still in great force."

The following law arrangements are said to have
taken place yesterday:

ed to the Bench.

Mr. GARROW to be Solicitor-General to the Km,
in the room of Sir THOMAS PLUMER.

Mr. JEKYLL succeeds Mr. GARKOW, as Attorney-
General to the Prince of WALES ; and it is reported
that Mr. RAINE will succeed Mr. JEKYLL, as Solici-
tor General to the same personage.

The following private letter from Lisbon she ws,
that Flour has risen there to an unprecedented high
price. We need not inform our Readers, that the
regraters in Portugal will be most miserably and de•
servedly disappointed, when the intelligence arrives of
our intercourse with America being re-opened :

" LISBON, MAY si:.

" Flour continues to sell in the Corn Market at £5. 53. per
barrel ; but the prices may be expected to be rendered free, or
the maximum to be extended, in consequence of an application
of the Administrators to the Government for their sanction to
such a proceeding, which seems to be found necessary to induce
holders to put their Flour in the Market. Wheat is put in there
at Os. 4d. per alquler ; Rice £3. 45. to £3. 7s. Cwt. ashore.—
Exchange 70d."

PRIVATE LETTER.

" Lissom, MAT 31, 1313.

" You have no doubt hear 3 of General list.t.'f victory over
the French at the Bridge of Almarez. The event was celebra:ed
here this day at noon by the Portuguese men of war; and at one
by the English.—The Beermwa, first-rate, Admiral BEREZ.
Lir, is the flag-ship.
" The 26th, or Cameronian Regiment, having suffered more
from sickness and fatigue, than from French hostility, has been
shipped for Gibraltar for recovery.
" The sth Regiment, lately landed here from England, march-
ed this day forthe Grand Army. They are a fine regiment, and
marched off with great spirit, amid the applause. and viva: of
the Pormguese —the Ladies throwing handfuls of flowers as they
I passed. The Regulation Dress for Officers, as well as privates,
is grey cloth trowsers, which, loaded as they were with accodtre-
ments, is toe heavy forsuch a climate as this; but I suppose it
has been found the fittest, as the Portuguese always put on more
clothing the hotter the day, observing, that what keeps out the
cold will certainly keep out the hear.
" Trade is extremely dull here :—the frequent arrivals of
goods'from England have overstocked the market—even at low
prices, there are very few purchasers. The Portuguese enjoy
thent,:elves with as much indifference as If the enemy were 1000
loigues from them*"
