LISBON MAIL.

LISBON, MAY 10. •
Our head-querters are at Fuente de Cuenaldo. The
epemy, according to the most• authentic accounts,
are situated as follows :—Marmont, at Salamanca;
Drouet, at Ozuaga ; and Soult, at Seville, part of
•svhose corps is still inclining more to the southward.
—lt it said that General bir Thomas-Graham is to
leave the first division, and take the command of
- three divisions upon the Donro.
•rfseo 'divisions have gone to Almendralego to re-
place General Hill, who has moved to Merida, and,
has,with him 26 pontoon's, a number'of ladders, and
a new formed brigade of iron 24-pouraler. howitzers.
Very large depots are forming at Filvas and Badajoz.
' It is a very generally-received opinion, here, that
Lord Wellington will, in the course of the criesent
cameaign, 'completely clear the South of Spain of
• the enemy.
. MAY 4.,-We have no intelligence of insporrance,
either from the North or South of Portugal.
tila/ 9.—Accoiding to letters from Polis, General
Mendizabel had set-out upon a secret expedition.
On the 6th instant, General Trant was expected
at Oporto. .
Athem 9,—Acceirding to letters from the Alantejo
of the 6th instant, Soult has set out from Seville for
Los Porlos, with 800 horse. Four regiments from
Cadiz have arrived at Bad:hoz, among thorn the
regiment of Jaen Nartles, to form thf_ garrison of
that place, or be othetwise employed. Field MArshal
Dan G. Marteros, who served with the Marquis Ito.
snana, and was chief of the staff of Gov. Menacho,
is the Officer named as Governor of Badajoz.
- Arm s.—We yesterday received Arragon Ga-
zettes to the 4th April ; they announce many advan-
tages obtained by General Villa Campo over the ,
French. This General, with the remains of the
division whirl( was preserved from the catastrophe
of Valencia, has caused so much injury, that in
prisoners.alone, they have sent to Alicant 900, which
added to the number of the killed and wounded,
increases the loss of the Frolch in that Province to
1500 men. -
General Ballasteros, equally skilful as a warrior
and politician, has circulated man,/ Proclamations
through the Andalusias, inviting, on condition of
pardon, the juramentadoes to abandon the colours
of their perfidious enemy ;—their effect was such as
might have been expected ; it appears that more than
1500 haye deserted to the Spaniards with their arms
and many horses. It ii certain that in Ayamonte
Lsome 900, including dispersed and recruits, have beau
cmbaxked for cad 4, - - ..

The arrangements respecting the New Adminis-
tration are not yet definitively settled. Various and
contradictory rumours have been afloat ever since
Friday night, On Saturday it was reported (and
we introduced it into our columns after our Paper
was at press) that no overture would be made either
to Lord GRENVILLE or Earl GREY; and that the new
arrangement would proceed upon the principle that
none of the late Cabinet should be included in it.—
We should have added, however, that this report
was credited by none.. Indeed, the whole of our re-
marks on Saturday were intended to shew that the
leading Members of both the late Adn3inistrat;on
and the Opposition, might be beneficially included in
the new arrangement.
We imagine that the report to which we have just
alluded, arose from this circumstance : no direct
command was given by the PRINCE REGENT 1.4 Mar.
quis WELLESLEY to make any proposition to Earl
GREY and Lord.GRENVILLE ; but this was not neces-
sary—general instructions having been given to his
Lordship to form an efficient Admini.,tration.

However this may have been, we know that a com-
munication has actually taken place between Lords
GREY and GRENVILLE and tho Martinis upon cer-
tain principles proposed by the latter as the basis
for forming a new Administration ; and we can add,
that what we stated on Saturday respecting Lords
GREY and GRENVILLE, is perfectly correct ; and fur-
ther, that no actual negociation for forming :4 new
Administration has taken place with these Noble
Lords.

It is also, we believe, certain, that since our last,
Mr. CASSINO) by the direction of Mai quis WELLES.
LEY, made propositions tu, the Earl of LIVERPOOL and
his colleagues ( Members of the late Cabinet), and
that none of them have yet agreed to take places
in the new Administration.

We ought to add, that in some well-informed circles
it is, however, affirmed that a negotiation has been
opened with Earl MOIRA, the Marquis of LANSDOWNE,
and Lord HOLLAND, and that the treaty is in pro-
gress, it being explicitly understood that its bases
shall he—emancipation to the Catholics, under due
restrictions, and extended operations in the Peninsula.

Should this last statement prove well-founded, it
is possible that s.)ine such arrangement as the fol..
lowing may be the result :

Marquis Wei ees tee, First Lord of the Treasury.
Warquis LANSDOWNE,
Lord 110 LLANO, Secretaries o 1 State.
CANNING,
Duke of BEDFORD, President of Council.
Mr, W. Poet:, First I.ord of the Admiralty.
Earl MOIRA, 1 ord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Mr. HU.IRISSON, Chancellor. of the Exchequer.

The Chancery Seals to be put into Commission.
But the more prevailing opinion is that, with per-
hips one Or two exceptions, the Opposition will pre-
serve their ranks unbroken—resolved to come.into
office, if they_ come in at all, only as a compact and
'united body. •
We shall not abuse our readers with idle conjec-
tures of our own. 'ln fact every thing is still in an
unsettled state; but this cannot long be the case—
and as soon as any thing is definitively arranged the
readers of the STAR may depend on au early and
accurate statement.

The Marquis W!ML SLltlf had an audience of the
PaixcsAtizasir last night.

WINDSOR, May 23.—Yesterday the Qualex and the
PniticEssis, and Pri.ncesseummormOk WALES, went
to Flogntore, where, they were met hy the Earl of
Avi,Esroxo and a select party, who had the honour
to dine with the Royal ramily,.in-celebratipn of the
birth-day oT the Princess ELIZABETH, Vi4o. completed
her 42d year.—This morning, after breakfast, the
Princess CHARLOTTE of WALP.S set off for London.
On Saturday, at three o'clock, his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT held a Privy Council at Carlton
House, which was attended by ViscoUnt Srostourn,
Mr. RYDPII, and sever-al others, for the pur.)ose of
swearing in the Earl of BUCKINGIIANISIIIRE Chancel-
lor of the Duchy of Lancaster, in the room of the
late Mr. PaCEVAL. At first sight this will naturally
astonish the public, but the fact is that it became
necessary to appoint a Chancellor of the Docliy ad
interim, as the precepts to summon a jury and wit-
nesses for the trial of the rioters could not issue with-
.
out one.

Yesterday the Duke. of YORK and Lord ELDON
had audiences of the PRINCE REGEN T.

Saturday morning Earl Fi TZWILLIAht transacted
business at the Secretary of State's Office for the
Home Department, in consequence of some accounts
he had received from Yorkshire.
The weather was not so agreeable yesterday as the
Sunday fashii nables could have wished, yet Hyde
Park.was the rendezvous of elegance amd magnifi-
cent equipages.
Last night the Dowager Marchioness of LAITB7
uoyiN gave her usual banquet to a number of distin-
guished fashionable', at her house in Albemarle-
str9et ; among whom were his 'Royal Highness she
Puke of CLARENC; W. Miss FiwzcuLartnE.
