" HENRY HALTORD,
A vessel, arrived off Plymouth, with fruit, from
Lisbon, has brought letters from thence to the 10th

instant, and from the head-qvarters of our army to
the eth. No movement of consequence had taken

place, up to that date ; bat a general expectation pre-
vailed in the army, that a battle would be hazarded
in a few-days. This expectation was founded on the
movements observable in MASSENA'S Army, and the
works he had erected. It was known that he had
been joined' by upwards of 20,000 fresh troops, and
that he was well supplied with provisions and every
other requisite. Another strong corps was also on
/he road to join him.—On the other hand, several
reinforcements ror, the British Army had arrived at
Lisbon, and others were daily expected. All the
British officers and men, as well as the Portuguese,
on leave of absence at Lisbon, or in a state of conva,
lescence, had been hurried off to join their respective
corps ; and every thing seemed to indicate that the
enemy would speedily put the strength of our lines to
the test.
Last night we received Paris Papers to the 18th,
from which we have given some Extracts. In one of
the *mite:ere there is given a letter copied from The
Time: of the 27th ult. with a comment which shews,
in spite of its affected coolness, how sore the enemy
feel on the affairs of the peninsula. The following
is an extract :
Lettes,--0” The ravages which took place in Portugal, and
which the Aloa;tese had the tlfrontery to describe as greater than
those of the Frenclw-,---"
Noniteur.—.4 This is very well for the English ;
but won't suit the inhabitants of the Continent, who
have every where had experience of th” French army."
Letter.--" These ravages were carried into effect by the lab*,
biiants alone "
lironifeur.—" If the inhabitants themselves had de:
atroyed, they wobld have destroyed effectually; es:
pecially, they would not have left magazines of grain,
wine, rice, which have placed the French army in a
ptate of the greatest abundance. On the contrary,
the inhabitants have concealed all they' could, as is
natural • and the magazines which have been with.
drawn from the English, have fallen into the hands
of the French."
Zokif.—.. If Lord Watts N °tom bad had so,noo British with
him at Talavera, and the Spaniards had been willing to have ex-
ecuted his orders, he would have driven the French to the left
lank of the Ebro."

THE ARMY.
I

The whole of the reinforcements for Portugal have
now sailed from Plymouth. The convoy got under
weigh on Thursday afternoon, and stood to the West-
ward with a gentle breeze from the -North-east ; they
are accompanied by the STANDARD, 64, (Captain
HoLl.F.s, Commodore) a frigate, and the Pzacocx
brig. The ships bound for Cadiz are laden with
stones; and'those for the Tagus take out troops for
Lord WELLINGTON'S army, all of which are remounts

for the cavalry, namely, 3d Dragoon Guards, Ist,
4th, 13th, 14th, and 16th Dragoons, and the Ist Ger-
man Hussars. Major M AYER, of the German Hussars,
commands the reinforcements.
We regret to state, that Captain HAWKER, of the
14th Dragoons, who was severely wounded at the
battle of Talavera, has been' prevented accompany-
ing his Regiment once more to the field, in conse-
quence of his wounds having broken out afresh when
on the eve of embarking, at Plymouth. Captain
HAWKER'S relapse was brought on by the extraordi-
nary exertions he made to be in readiness for service ;
he was preparing to embark, when countermanded by
the Earl of BRnaGewArEa, his Colonel, in consequence

of the report of the medical attendants.

the capacity of the deceased and the due execution of

the party 146 Opposed the same, and who appeared
. -
to have taken great pains with his client's case, and
to be completely master of the evidence, the Learned
Judge pronounced for the force and validity of the
will, and decreed Letters of Administration, with the
will annexed, to Edward Holason, Esq. the devisee
and residuary legatee. The Judge, in summing up'
the evidence, observed it was a fortunate circumstance
for William Wild, the plaintiff, that he had been per- I
mitted to sue in formapaufterir, as the case was of that
nature he would have subjected himself to costs.
