LISBON, MAY IS.

According to intelligence received from Brafanza
of the 6th instant, Junot has not reinforced Ney in
Salamanca, but marched to Valadolid.

It appears by a letter from Badajos of the 12th in-
stant, some French horse have again made their ap-
pearance before that place.
Cadiz Gazettes have been received up to the 9th
instant, the Spanish ‘flying parties continue to inflict
severe lenses on the French in Arragon.
Intelligence from Catalonia confirms the report of
Angerean having sustained a very considerable loss
in his retreat from Rens, but state no particulars with
regard to the battle of Lerida, not being of a date
sufficiently recent for that puprose.

In Sierra da Ronda is a division of 2000 Spanish
troops, of known honour and military experience.
who have taken from the French many carts loaded
with plAte, provisions, and military stores, &c. Re-
port is this day current, that the inhabitants of Coiga
and C;l:mona have risen against the French, and that
a division of 5000 of the enemy's troops having
marched against that place, returned thence with
many carts full of wounded soldiers.
It appears that 30,000 muskets, whicb were re-
quired from England, have already been received in
Gallicia.

MAY 19.—Signals have been made for transports
in sight for some days past, but none have yet entered
the Tagus. The French have again, fallen back, and
our army continues to advance. We are in possession
of Cindad Rodrigo ; Lord Wellington is at Guarda.
The Portuguese brigade that were at Guarda, have
marched to Coimbra. The French force at Astorga
is only 1500; Junot arrived at Valladolid on the 2d
instant.

The brig Santa Cruz, from the Brazils, was last
on the 10th instant near Joas de Foz, with the whole
of her cargo—the crew were all saved. The Alge-
rine squadron, consisting of two frigates, two brigs,
and some smaller vessels, which has caused so much
alarm here for some time past, has been taken :And
destroyed.
Badajoz Diaries to the 16th instant have arrived.
The principal article of intelligence is, perhaps, that
the army of Augereau, in Reus, consists only of
10,C00 men.

VADAIOZ, MAY 15.

On the 12th instant the great body of the enemy's
cavalry presented itself before this city, and detached
various advanced parties through the olive grounds.
Our excellent General immediately maile those judi-
c:ous dispositions which he knows sowell how to make,
and the intrepidity and vigour of our cavalry, the
continued fire of our brave infantry, and the skilful
discharge pf our well-directed artillery, consisting, of
two flying pieces, threw them into complete confusion.
The situation of the olive grounds in which they were
i.osted prevented a complete triumph, and enabled
them to conceal their dead and carry ofr their woun-
ded, which must have been very numerous. We had
only four wounded. The enemy at night took the
i:rection of Talavera.

We have also received accounts from the North of
Spain to the 30th ult. brought by the GoLDFINcis brig
of war, arrived at Plymouth from Corunna.
When the GOLDFINCH sailed every thing was quiet
in that neighbourhood. A range of very strong bat-
teries towards the land side was nearly completed, in-
tmded to secure the town against any attack of the
t'aerny. A strong work, somewhat in the form of a
fortified bridge, has also been thrown over an arm of
the harbour, to prevent the approach of hostile vessels.
The Gnu:wise'', we arc sorry to state, has lost
two boats with the Purser, -Lieutenant NOREY (or
NORWAY), and two Master's Mates. They had taken
two chasse-marees, one of which got becalmed off
Gijon, where the row-bckats came out and captured
her. The other was drove off to sea without any
provision on beard; but the GOLDFINCH spoke one of

our cruisers, that saw them off the coast otPortigei
a few days since, and supplied them with provisions
—rat this time they appeared to be drifting at the
mercy of the sea, being all intoxicated. The chose.
marees were laden with wine and brandy. The crews
of the boats are prisoners at Gijon.

The prorogation of Parliament is Axed for Monday
next. The business before the Commons will be
completed on Thursday, when -the House will ad-
journ to give the Lords time to pass the bills pending
through their different stages.

The following Bulletiii was yesterday shewn to the

" (MAID H 0141."

Earl MoraA, as Constable of the Tower, has re-
ceived official instructions to direct that Sir FRANCIS
BURDETT be liberated from his confinement immedi-
ately on the Prorogation of Parliament. Mr. NEWSMAN,

notification. respecting GALE Jorms.
The High Sheriff of Berkshire waited on Sir FRANCIS

characters.

The VENUS frigate, Captain CRAWFORD, is to take
out Mr. MORIER, Secretary of •Legation, to America,
and bring home Mr. JACKSON. She is expected to
sail shortly.

At all the Dock-yards the weakest ships of war are
fitting as troop-ship, it being intended to bring this
description of force into service as extensively as cir•
cnmstances will admit, instead of having transports.
The LEYDEN and VESTAL are fitting at Portsmouth ;
and Capt. TANCOCK has commissioned the MERCURY
at Woolwich. The ANIEUSCADE has been found very
defective, and is breaking up.
The Adventure brig letter of marque, Capt. INNEs,
arrived at Plymoinh on Thursday, from Guadaloure,
which place she lift on the 29th of April, with a cargo,
consisting of coffee and sugar. Mr. FtI)BERT *CA HT-
NET; passenger, died on the 7th of May. The Ad-
venture brought over two French Gentlemen. A few
days since she spoke an English sloop of war (sup-
posed to be the Timis), with a convoy bound to
Quebec, oil well.

Saturday afternoon, a hackney coachman, driving
his coach down St. .Andrew's.hill, Blackfriars, and
being in an extreme state of intoxicatkn, fell from his
box on the pavement, and one of the wheels went over
his head. He was taken to the hospital, but died
immediately.
Saturday evening, a fire broke nut at a cork-cutters,
in Couched-Friars, which destroyed the premises, with
six or seven adjoining houses, together with that of
Mr. HIBBERT, wine-merchant, in Hylord's-co.art.—
During the conflagration a stack of chimnies fell, by
which a fireman was severely hurt.
We have some time ago mentioned that the appren-
tice of Mr. FLINT, the printer, had been committed
to the House of Correction for disobedience to his
master. We have now to add, that this apprentice
was taken by Habra, Corm before Mr. Justice BAYLEY
on Saturday afternoon, on an ignorant supposition that
he had been illegally committed. The learned Judge,
however, determined, that the law respecting appren-
tices exacts obedience to the commands of the master,
who may order theth to perform his work wherever
and whensoever he pleases, allowing the proper inter-
vals for rest.

PRONIENADE.—The Sunday after the Birth-Day is
generally distinguished by a display of the fashions
which have previously prevailed at Court, conse-
quently the exhibition yesterday in Hyde Park was
not deficient in splendour. Rich costume, sumptuous
liveries, and handsome carriages, formed a couft d'ail
enirely new; White, the emblem of purity, appeared
to be in much estimation. The females of taste, whose
lily robes wantoned in the breeze, proved that
" Beauty is, when unadorned, adorned the most."
Many Ladies were decorated by a happy combina-
tion of pleasing tints, and they appeared to great ad-
vantage.—Among the variegated articles of dress we
noticed green scarfs, azure mantles, with apple blos-
som, yellow and lilac sarsenet pelisses, but the pha-
lanx of fashion was not confined to any established
mode ; variety was the order of the day, and the
dame from St. Catl3erine's, who had put on her best
habiliments in Whitechapel or the Minories, conctived
herself as genteel-as the Belle from St. James's. The
gay folks moving in state towards Kensington Gar-
dens, presented all the colours of a bed of tulips, and,
in short, we have seldom witnessed a more numerous
and elegant display.—Among the company were,
'The Prince-s of Wales, Margravine of Anspach, Duchesses of
St. Alhan's and Richmond, Marchioness of Stafford, Marquis
and Marchioness of Ely, Marchioness,of Hertford, Marchioness
of WeHesley, the Earl and Countess of Grosvenor, the Countess
of Westmorland, the Earl of Barrymore, Lord Yarmouth, the
Earl and Countess of Jersey, Lady Dungannon, Lord Hawke,
Lord and Lady Leveson Gower, Lord Milton, the Earl and
Countess of Cowper, Lord Palmerstone, and several of the Four-
in-I-land Club.

SlR—Having seen in the Tuts% this day, a speech
reported as Mr. BRNTLEY'S, at the Meeting held yes-
terday at Hackney; I think it due to myself to assert,
that what he is reported to have said as words of mine
is utterly false; for I never, to the best of my recol-
lection, was in company with•that Gentleman bat
once in my life, which was at Canonbury Tavern,
and the party thenAiresent consisted of Mr. Wm, Mr.'
WHEELWRIGHT, Mr. THWAITES, Mr. GIBSON, and
some other of the most respectable inhabitants of tha
neighbourhood.— I am, Sir, your humble servant,
Dartmouth street, June 9,1810.
