LISBON, APRIL 11..

According to the accounts received here, Brennier
with his division appeared on the 4th near Almeida,.
for the purpose of making. a diversion °in favour. of
Badajoz, by attempting to take that fortres's by esca---
lade ; but up to the 6th he had not approached it.
sufficiently near, so as to invest it. Our troops are
now posted near that city; and the General who
commands theni Las been to communicate with the
Governor of Almeida. '

Seven Frenchmen have been made prisoners, acid
four have voluntarily surrendered themselves. These
men state that the enemy's army suffers greatly for
want of provisions, and that Brertnier brings with
him io waggons laden with ladders to take Almeida,
and artillery to undertake the siege of Ciudad Ito..
drigo.
Souk had arrived near Albuera ; our army march.
ed against him, but it is supposed he has retired.—
' The enemy's forces are calculated at 23,000 men.

were to invest Seville.
