The Eliza nacket has arrived at Falmouth, from
America. She sailed from New York on the .sth ult.
and from HALlax oa the 27th. Our letters and i
pars were not del vexed out when this Paper was put
to press.

We have received a letter from an Officer on board
:!ie IMPLACABLE, of 74, which states, that Baron
de Kau has been executed in sight of our shipping
in Quiberon Bay, and the body left suspended for two
days.

This cii.cumstance does not occasion any change
is our sentiments, that this Baron 'vas an Agent em-
ployed by the French to entrap, it:l,l then to bettay
our Ministers—'' Dead men tell n 1 ta1,,,."

We have received Bombay news-papers tc the 9th
December last, from which we have given some in-
teresting extracts. All the late discontents among
the military have been happily terminated. A pira-
tical village, which had proved extremely trouble-
tome, has been captured and destroyed.

To the articles received by the Lisbon Mail, and
communicated in yesterday's STAR, we now add the
tiAlowing letter from a British Officer :
"tOIMBRA, MAY 5.

14 A variety of reports are in circulation as to the
cause of the late sudden movement. The most pro.
bible report is that Lord Wellington received advises'
cf Gmeral Loison having moved with 22,000 men
from Salamanca, where the French have an itatnense
'''pot of provisions and ammunition, toward Ciudad
Ro!rigo ; and this is said to be the advance of an
army undor Marshal Ney. Junot is endeavouring to
become master of Gallicia, tosecure his entrance into
Le North of Portugal, while another division of
30,000 is said to be on its march towards Castello
warm, while a fourth is to keep us employed in
Alentejo.

" Marshal Beresford's head-quarters were at Viseu
en the2d,but they expected to be soon more in advance;
he has 15,0C1 fine-look;ng Portuguese troops under
his immediate command.
" Our headquarters are at Cel erica, and our whole
army has clo.-ed in, so that it can be brought toge-
ther in a very short time.
"The Regiments lately arrived at Lisbon, vie. the
11 battalion of Royals, 2d of 9th, and 88th, are still
at Listion, as well as the 13th Dragoons.
" Gc;teral Hill moved last week with the Anglo.
I.usitanian army towards Albverierepe ; but the
ire:telt thinking it prudent to retreat, he returned to
'es old quarters atPortalegra,
Thearmyisinhigh spiritsandequipment. Though
the country is nearly drained, yet the army is well
lied; generally large quantities of flour, biicuit;
*ld corn going-up daily to It ;.and there is plenty of
green forage for the cavalry, which is much impro-
/fat of late.

The news horn Cadiz ;Aux very good ; .they are
4111 giarrelling among themselves."
One of our letters from Lisbon mentions that Mr.
)41714 the American Consul at that Capital, had
e'tained possession of the papers of eight or nine
embargo-breakers in the Tagus, and it was presumed
thel Would stiffer the penalties inflicted by tile laws
•l the United States against such delinquents. The
following also contains some particulars worthy of
make : •

" We have intelligence from the army to the 10th'
when there' had been no movement for some days,
but it Was expected the allies would advance. A re-
