A Lisbon Mail arrived this morning with letters
and papers to the 28th ultimo, from which we give
the following extracts

" All the letters received from the South of Spain

" On tht 12th a)161 15th of October, a division of

on the 14th and 15th set out for Talavera la Reina.
" Upon all these accounts we with much pleasure
give the lie to the reports, which for some days have

Madrid." '

" LISBON, OCT. et.
" The head-gutters of the 2d and Sd armies,

vho, by their conciliating manners with the natives,
lave not only removed every obstacle which might
have operated to the disadvantage of the recruiting
establishment, but won the affections, and secured
• that perfect confidence from the troops which ren-
ders obedience easy, and insures perfect discipline.
" Surgeon James JOIINSTON will accompany the
troops to the West'lndies. We have all benefited
highly by his rigid attention to medical discipline ;
nor can language do justice to the hutilanity that
characterizes every part of his conduct.
" We are abundantly supplied with fresh provi-
sions by the zealous exertions of Lieuteftant Quarter-
Master FITZGERA LD— an officer of considerable merit.

An Officer lately returned from off Flushing, re-
ports that the enetny's fleet consists of '2l ships of
the line, besides frigates and sloops, and is manned
with one-third French, one-third Dutch, and one-
third Danish, who by no means agree together. A
boat, with a Dutch quarter-master (14-merly master
of a merchant-ship), and 18 men, wits lately picked
up in the North Sea, who had escaped from die
three-decker. They say the Dutch are
deter mined not to fight against the English, and take
every opportunity ot deserting.

tention to the resort of foreigners to the sea coast.
Mr. Bitoorce, the Chief Clerk of the Alien Office, ar-
rived at the New Ship inn, Brighton, on Wednesday
evening, attended by a messenger; an active enquiry
was immediately set on foot, and several foreigners
were called before that Gentleman for examination,
though at ablate hour. It is said that, among others,
inquiries were made after three of the principal per-
formers belonging to the Opera, who had been re.
siding at Brighton for some time without the sanction
of Government, but they had quitted it about a week
since. t
