A Lisbon Mail has arrived, bringing papers and
letters to the 2d iast. but they contain no intelligence of
any importance. The greater part of our troops had
then landed, consisting of 473 men of the 4th Regiment
of Foolt ; 650 of the 60th; 630 of the 83d ; 600 of the
3d Regiment of Guards,with SOO men of the Grenadier
Regiment of Guards. Sir W. H. Cuero* had also',
inived, as well as Sir H. Souvenir. Nome of the'
Cavalry had reached the Tagus at that date; and not
:a word is said of the service in which our troops may
be employed. The moral effect which their presence
had produced on all parties in that Capital—exlidiratiog

the loyal, fixing the wavering, and completely over-
awing the disaffected—was already known. The latest
uccousts from the theatre of hostilities are to the 26th,
at which lime neither party could apparently boast of
any decided advantage. The weather, indeed, must
have been so unfavourable for carrying on regular
operations, that we are only astonished how the Consti-
tutional troops could have kept the field; and we look
upon it as no slight compliment to their ardour and
discipline,that they had been able to endure the rigours
of active service at so inclement a season. The case
was widely different with the Rebels, who bad the
incitements of plunder, and of every sort of licentious-
ness, to keep up their spirits; and a large proportion of
them, consisting of the peasantry of the neighbourhood,
could retire to their homes when they found the service
too harassing, and repair again to their standards,
renovated by the short repose they had enjoyed. When
we consider these circumstances dispassionately, we
are only surprised that the latter had not made greater
progress, and had not already struck some blow, which
would have thrown a false halo round their cause,
and consecrated it in the estimation of its rabble adhe-
rents. Instead of this, they were alternately victors
and vanquished, if these names can be attached to their
feeble, desultory, and almost bloodless efforts. They
had net taken as yet a place of any importance.—for
we cannot except the Fort of Almeida, which had been
blown up in the last war by accident, and has ever since
remained in a dismantled state ; and even this advantage
they owe to treachery. The headquarters of the Rebels
wereat V.zeu, where the Marqdis Cnawas, their chief
leader, was stationed at the date of the last accounts;
but they do not inform us whether he meant to advance,
retreat, or remain stationary.
. Such appears to have been the relative situation of
the conflicting parties, before either of them could have
been apprised of the arrival of the British troops; and
we have, therefore, still to learn the effect which this
event will have on both. However it does not require
much penetration, to ascertain it pretty accurately
before hand; and is a country, where so many
trophies of British valour have been raised, and
when there are so many fresh recollections of what
that valour is capable of accomplishing, it may be easily
imagined what an impression the glaof our bayonets
will make. In all probability it wilrbe the immediate
signal for the dispersion of such of the rebels as have
been allured by plunder, or led astray by means of their
ignorance; whilst the remainder will scamper back
into Spain, much faster than they quitted it for
the purpose of proceeding on this execrable enterprise.
As to the Spaniards, who have volunteered their ser-
vices in this most unrighteous cause, they. will fly, with-
out even waiting to carry off their booty, at the very

name of our troops, and they will probably communi-
cate their panic terr9rs to the whole rate of serviks
in the provinces adjoining to Portugal. The latter
will then, if we are not egregiously mistaken in
their-character, shew themselves as abject, as they are
now insolent. To confirm their fears, they will ipagine
that the Constitutional leaders, and particularlyeMitb%
.that MINA, who bad so often scattered them like a
flock..of timid sheep—are marching with our troops;
and it is inspossible.to say to what dastardly extremes
