LEIPSIC, JULY so.

LISBON MAIL

It is said that 13,000 of the Imperial Guards have
arrived at Burgos; these it is supposed must be the
force which was at Castrol Pol, and that they have
retrograded to Burgos. We may shortly expect to
hear of their being at Ciudad Rodrigo ; no doubt
they will be sent to the southward to assist Regnier.
Loisson is at Gillegos, and Sir B. Spencer at Al-
' versa.

Count Von Gottorp, Gustavus Adolphus, arrived
here to-day—he continues his journey by way of Ber-
lin, where I.e will arrive to-morrow.

JULY 29.—1 t is reported here, that 25,000 men are
on the route for Braganza to enter Tras os Montes.
The Portuguese troops are ready to march at a mo-
ment's notice. We every instant expect to hear of a
battle having been fought. Porlier has been obliged
to embark his band of Patriots from Biscay.
JULY 31.—The campaign was opened last by Lois.
son attacking, on the bridge of Coa, the light brigade
under the orders of General Crawford. Loisson had
20b0 infantry, 12 squadrons of cavalry, and fourteen
pieces of artillery ; Crawford the 52d, 43d, and 95th
British, and Ist and 3d Portuguese light infantry.—
The action commenced at five and lasted till half
past nine. It was extremely sharp, and more resem-
bled a general battle than a skirmish. We lost 250
men and 23 Officers. The Portuguese fought like
lions, more particularly the 3d, Colonel Elder's regi-
ment. On the 20th the enemy entered Pinhel ; on
the 28th, Francoza. We are therefore now in hourly
expectation of hearing of a general action ; and
Guarda appears to be the most desirable and best
position for our army.
Our last letters from Celerico are of the 28th, at
which place General Beresford had his head-quarters;
and our army was to march on that evening for the
Pass of Ponte de Marcello, close to Guarda. Junot's
division, about 21,000, will enter by Braganza; and
as the left of the militia (Northern) division was only
nine leagues from the enemy, probably, ere this,
some fighting has taken place.
General Hill was at Astorga on the 24th. It is
thought that Regnier only detached a part of his
troops to the northward.
BADAJOZ, JULY 30.
A letter worthy of credit states, that the enemy
fired the town of Almazan. Our light parties killed
500 of his troops on the bridge, but, having been re.
inforced from Serca, the French entered the place,
sacked it, and committed all kinds of excess.
LISBON, AUGUST s.
The most recent intelligence from Spain states,
that the French force which attacked General Craw.
ford's division, near Almeida. consisted of 10,000
men ; that Massena was present, and that the troops
commanded by General Crawford did not exceed
4000 men. The combined force there repulsed the
enemy with the bayonet, who endeavoured to force the
bridge. The artillery of the British inflicted a severe
loss on the French. Some French parties that ad-
vanced and entered Pinhel, are said to have left it
again, as they found it deserted by all the families
which had any valuable articles to save.
The place of Almeida, which the enemy has now
invested, is not one of those which surrender at the
mere appearance of an enemy's corps, but is, in every
respect, able to sustain a long siege. The Governor
of Almeid,t is Brigadier-General Cox, an Officer of
distinguished talents and valour, and who for that
reason was selected t% command, in that important
place, a brave garrison sufficient to defend it. He
it supported by a numerous army, composed of the
troops of two gallant nations, which are strangers to
pet fidy and treason, love honour, detest cowardice,
and are commanded by a General who is respected
by the enemy on account of his great tried military
talents.

AUGSBURGH, JULY 26.

This morning at eight o'clock arrived here Gustavus'
Adolphus, under the assumed name of Count Got-
torp ; he took the route for Saxony.
The Count was chearful and polite with every one.
Before setting out he walked through the principal
streets of the city, dressed in a grey coat ; he travels
in a four-seated carriage, and his whole suite consists
of ts'o livery servants, who sit on the box.

Paris Papers to the 13th instant arrived last night.
They contain some accounts from the East of Europe.
According to these, the general action between the
Turks and Russians, which took place near Schulma,
as we stated yesterday, Listed three days. On the
two first (the 11th and 12th ultimo) the Turks had
decidedly the advantage ; but the Russians are said
to have renewed the engagement on the 161 h, when
they totally defeated the former. This final result of
the operations is, however, given on authority which
is acknowledged to be rather questionable.
An Envoy from the United States, to succeed
General ARMSTRONG, has arrived in France.

On the 24th of last month General Loison, who
commands the investing army, mistaking the Gover-
nor of Almeida for a Portuguese General, sent him' a
fulminatin (intimation) to surrender the place, full of
invectives against the English, and of attempts to
prove that the English despise the Portuguese—con-
sider Portugal as an English province, and will cer-
tainly betray her cause, as fey have done that of
Spain.
It does not appear that the enemy has made any
progress since, nay it seems probable that he means
to raise the investment of Almeida. The last intelli-
gence from Spain does not mention any military ope-
ration of moment in that quarter.
AUGUST 4,
We have received intelligence by the telegraph,
that the enemy have retired from Pinhel, crossed the
Coa, and taken the road to Val de la Mula, and
thence to Val de Almeida. We expect a confirma-
tion of this by a courier. It is certain that the corps
of General Beresford having joined that of Marshal-

In another part of our publication we have given
ample extracts from these journals.
By letters from Holland it appears that the Dutch,
so far from expecting any relief to the oppressions un-
der which their commerce has so long groaned, are
apprehensive that the new arrangements, so far from
ameliorating will increase their sufferings. Napo-
Leon was expected to be at Amsterdam as yesterday ;
and domiciliary visits are expected immediately to
follow for the purpose of ascertaining the quantity of
colonial produce subject to di, new duties.

OPORTO, JULY 27.. _ By accounts from Badajoz, dated 31st July, we

learn, that 400 French of the corps of Regnier, who
passed the left bank of the Tagus in the boats of Al.
canete, in order to reconnoitre, were totally routed
by Brigadier Don C. Hispanha, who had left Albu-
querque for that point. The Spanish division of Ot.
neral O'Donnell likewise marched from Albuquerque
for Caceres on the 29th inst. To-day he will be in
Truzillo, and thence march to Almaraz.

The day before yesterday accounts were received
that some enemy's cavalry had entered Ronquilho.—
It is said to be the advanced guard of a corps of 8000,
which, under the command of Mortier, have entered
Estremadura.
Fifteen hundred men, infantry and cavalry, from
the army of the Isle of Leon, have disembarked at
A yamente.
According to accounts from Badajos of the 81st of
July, the French have sent 5000 sick from the Isle
' of Leon to Seville. They have a great number of sick
in that city, almost all of malignant fevers, and mut.
bens die daily.

The remains of the late Earl BIRIRLZT were depo-
sited in the family vault at Berkeley, on Wednesiay.
The funeral procession consisted of the present Earl,
two gentlemen leading two of the younger children,
the Corporation of Berkeley, and his Lordship's te-
nants.

Letters were yesterday received by a ship from Tar.

rid Donx.
Letters.from Bilboa and Santander state, that se.
rious consequences had resulted from the late daring
expedition under POHLIER. The French, as a punish-
ment on the Biscayans, have levied a contribution of
3,500,000 reals, and twelve thousand mea have been
marched from Victoria, to occupy the different towns
and ports cf that unfortunate province. A person
who left Santander on the 4th instant, describes in
painful terms the condition of that town and the ad-
jacent country, in consequence of French exactions
and oppressions.
Letters received from the Baltic state, that the ves-
sels which were detained in the ports id Prussia, on
suspicion of being laden with English property, are
likely to be released on paying 50 per cent.
A Gentleman from Gottenburgh, who qaitted that
port on the Bth of the present month, states. that
previous to that time intellgence bad been received of
an order at Christiansand for the release of all Ame-
rican vessels brought in there, which had not been
taken when under the guard of a British convoy. In
consequence of that regulation three ships of the unit.
ed States, with valuable cargoes, had been released,
and it was hoped that this concession would be made
throughout all the ports of Norway. An opinion ge-
nerally prevailed, that the King of DENMARK would
be the successful candidate for the succession to the
Swedish Throne.

A letter from Rostock gives unfavourable accounts
of the state of affairs at that port. It appears that
measures of great severity had been resortei to in
that harbour against all American ships, and that
none of them were permitted to land any part of their
cargoes.
Mr. Mtmao PARRS.—We mentioned two days ago
that accounts of the safety of this intrepid traveller

municating the intelligence contained in the following
extract, and trust that the hopes which it holds forth
will be speedily realized :
Extract of a letter from Colonel MAXWELL, dated Government.
House, Senegal, 4th July, 1810, to the hetet !Aar of the
AFRICAN INSTITUTION. _

" I have just received information from Guree, that
Mr. LaPoarn, of that Island, was, on the 27th of
March last, at C-, and had there met with $
Toucaloor, who informed him, that a month before
he had seen Mr. MUMS* PARKE, in a village, the name
of which has escaped the memory of Mr. LAPORTE;
that he was very well, but alone, having lost all his
companions ; that he intended to return to the coast
by Galam to Senegal, it being a shorter route from
where he was than by the Gambia. If he is really in
existence, and has been seen by the Toucaloor, he
probably adopted this resolution owing to the dis
curbed state in which the upper part of the Gambia it,
on account of war between the

" It is much to be lamented that Mr. LAPORIi
was not more precise in his inquiries; there WAS ano-
ther inhabitant of Goree with him, who, he says, has
more particulars than himself, as he speaks the IMP
guage of the Toucaloor ; this person, Mr. PIONANDs
has not yet returned from Gambia. I will transmit
to you the earliest intelligence on the subject which I
receive. If this rumour is true, I shall feel parties•
larly delighted to have the pleasure of receiving
PARKS, and to forward h:m to his native land."
Fmar.—Saturday Camberwell Fair commenced
