We ha* kin our inyiett443 extract an *oriel*
fact from intelligence, wh'iali we give with the fulkistl
confidence of its authenticity; and which is dated at
the head-quarters of the allied army in Portugal, on
the.l6th instant, the latest date from that country.—
On the day just stated, it was understood in Lord
WELLINGTON'S army, from, unquestionable circum-
stances, that MissemA would npt delay his grand
attack more than three or four days. The Allies ex-
pected it with feelings that" strongly anticipated vic-
tory, and therefore wished for it. The weather was
then unusually inclement, so as to prevent the possi-
bility of embarkation, if that measure had been me-
ditated, which, however, there did not exist the slight-
est idea of."— (Dublin Correspondent)

PLYMOUTH, OCTOBER' Is.

The INTELLIGENT gun-brig arrived this afternoon,
With dispatches from the Mediterranean ; she is un-
der quarantine, and the few letters that were sent on
shore, will not be delivered out in, time for this night's
post. A report was made by mistake, a few weeks
ago, in stating the arrival of this vessel, instead of
which it was the DititaexcE store-ship, from the Me-
diterranean.—Also arrived the Ann tender, from
Bristol, with impressed men ; the VALIANT, 74 guns,
from a cruize off Brest and Rock.fort, to victual,
water, and refit; and the Mullet schooner, from Fal-
mouth.—Sailed the Aga, Spanish 61, and the NAIAD
frigate, both for Portsmouth ; the FAVOURITE sloop of
war, on a cruize to the westward; and the WEAZLE
hired schooner, for Falmouth. The FAVOURITE is also
gone after the vessels that sailed on Friday and yes-
terday, to cruize in the track of the French ships, now
known to be near home from the Mauritius.
