a / ids in this beautiful tows four years age
with Sitionw Moose's army, and on entering it at
elision I was shocked to see the change. All the i

obit public buildings, with the nunneries destroyed. 1
floret had the most heartfelt pleasure, and my
wind pride was gratified to the utmost by the re-
*et we got on marching in—a reception so dif. :1
{cost from what the army met when marching in i '
with Air Jona MOORS: it was then civility from .
inhabitants, but it was but cold civility and po- 1,
lastm, and the haughty Spanish character was seen
livery thing. A residence of three years of the ,
Meth among them has wrought a wonderful
doge. You cannot conceive any thing equal to
de exultation Of the inhabitants, of all classes, an '
or matching into town. The whole town came I
out to meet the Earl of WELLINGTON, they followed i
hint every where—the women, of all ranks and ages,
followed and hugged the General and those whom '
they considered as the General Officers. In two
days accounts arrived that the French army had re-
turned ; all were (unless our division) turned out,
end have been drawn np in lnre opposite to them, until
today, when we learn that the French scampered
of, after having lost a considerable number of men.
's Our army was placed •by the Earl of WELLING•
ton in an admirable position, which, had the enemy
fortunately attacked, we must have annihilated their
army; be coaxed them to fight—allowed them
int to tale one village and then another, but it
weekhrot de, they would not come on, to the great
naificaticn of our officers and men, who foresaw a
compkte victory. But the ground, though strong,
tram people suffer much, without tents or huts,
m the ridges of hills very bare, they were exposed
%cold damp nights, and a burning sun in the day—
tere was neither wood nor water within miles of
emend for the first 36 hours not a man tasted a
boxid:—however the good nature of the inhabi-,
law did all they could, men, women, and children •
We employed incessantly in carrying out to them
hisof wood and pitchers of water ; and those who ,
lad it, brought them out wine, spirits, bread, and
chem. In the town, when they saw our wounded
knight in, they crowded to the hospital, carrying
their beds to our men, bringing them shirts, and in
ant instances wine, honey cakes' the women dressing
ad washing their wounds. In short, they said they
told+) any thing, to give all they had to us, if we
told keep the French from them. ,
" You will have a Gazette account of General
Cuasoa's gallant and judicious attack on the for-'
tiled convent here. This, with General SLADE'S fine
affair wi .. , cavalry in the Alantejo, is the conver-

N As the rapture of the strong fort here war, by
-Earl WELLINGTON, assigned to the 6th division, we:.
remained in this beautiful city, now. alas, left in ruins
by these modern Goths, the French.
" It is the Oxford of this part of the world, had
twenty colleges, and twznty convents, besides nun-
-I'''esi churches and many magnificent public build-
-1°8a• Insure you, fine as the city is, our situation was
I
°et tilt most pleasant: the villains in the convent of St. ,
Vincent wantonly fired shot and shells into the town,
elicit killed several of the poor inha.bitants; a shell
`lee through the house I lodged in and burst in the
telbr• On the 2Gth the fort surrendered, the villains
vfle marched out almost all drunk, and the Portu-
!'el.e and British troops had the greatest difficulty to
tett) the town's people from tearing them to pieces.—
lithe afternoon all the bells rang a merry peal, at
ii;ia there was a general illumination, and all the
ire fan'll T
es gave balls. Yesterday morning, when
INEttiso.ron came in from camp, was ushered

IleiPality and Magistrates, the I leads of the Colleges,
led the Ecclesiastical body of the Diocees, each went
!Mutely with addresses of congratulation to the pa-
