Captain ANDERSON, of Plymouth Dock, has arrived
th, re from Lisbon, which place he left three days
subsequent to the list packet. At the time of his
sailing, it was know a that our army had returned to
its old position at Torres Vedras ; that Mumma had
received strong reinforcements ; and (it was said) was
on the point of again advancing. Captain A. de.
scribes the situation of Lisbon as most distressing,
owing to the many thousand of refugees, over its or.
dinary population, crowded into it from all parts of
the kingdom. He was in Lisbon when a large body
of French prisoners (those cut off from the rear of the
French army, when they retreated) were marched in;
many of the poor fellows, overcome with fatigue,
after marching several miles up to their middles in
mud and water, dropped down dead in the streets...—.
Trade of every kind was exceedingly dull, at Lisbon,
anti no market far any articles except provisions and
clothing, 'all kinds of which were excessively dear—
even wines, of a good quality, were nearly as dear as
in England ; and owing to the destruction of the vine-
, yards through the kingdom, there was every prospect 1
of a further advance.

Since our last trench pers to the 15th have come
to hand, from which we have given some articles,
with farther extracts from Dutch papers to the 19th
instant. The burning Decree has been carried into
effect with great ostentation at Bourdeanx, and we
are told that while the property was exposed to the

Eames, ti the people beheld with pleasure the execu-
tion of the law for the preservation of the eternal li-
berty of the seas, and for the maintenance of the sa-
cred rights of civilized nations."
An American ship which sailed from the United
States for France, in the confidence of the repeal of
the Decrees of Berlin and Milan, has been seized and

confiscated, and the crew made prisoners on entering
a French'port. The advices from France which men-
tion this fact, state it to have occurred within a few
days past, and that the seizure was made under the
old pretext of the vessel having submitted to be over-
hauled by a British cruizer.
