PORTUGAL.

LISBON, JANUARY 28.

We have received the most satisfactory intelligence
from the Northern provinces of Portugal. The inha-
bitants of these provn 4er s no sooner learnt that the
French troops had entered Gallicia, than they took up
arms with the utmost enthusiasm. Orders were im•
mediately given to procure the necessary money for
repairing the fortifications of Valencia and Chaves ;
and we trust that should the enemy have the temerity
to attack them, they will meet with new Saragossas in
the Portuguese territory ; and although Oporto is al-
ready supplied frith all sorts of military stores, yet a
yacht was this day sent thithcr, entirely ladeh with
powder and balls to complete the armament in the
above two provinces. Yesterday another vessel set
sail for the same destination, and will this day be fol-
lowed by a third. The present armament of the pro-
; vince of Be'ra is as follows :

FL:slicers • • • - 30.975
Pitemen • • • • 39.1403
• Cavalry - - - - 118
The returns of the districts of Beira, Aveira, Cum-
bra, Pinhel, and Abrantes have nbt yet been received.
The above return doei not include either the troops or
the militia, but comprises only the inhabitants armed
in consequence of the arrangements made by Govern-
ment. Lisbon is also arming with the utmost activity
and zeal. The 16 legions, or 48 battalions, formed
by its nnmerons inhabitants, arc daily exercising ;
and 70 pieces of cannon have been taken from the
arsenal, to be mounted ea the most important points
ot defence. We tre,;. that whenever the enemy may
rnal:o his appear:.nce, he shall meet with the most vi-
vorons reslszasc.?.
