PRIVATE LETTER.-ABRANTES, AUGUST 27.

is Are have had several skirmishes with the cavalry
of Regnier, in which we have been uniformly success-
ful. The Portuguese have improved in their Govern-
rent and in their army. In the latter, both in disci-
pline and numbers, almost every battalion is comman-
ded by British Lieutenant Colonels, and Majors.
,g Some arrests in Lisbon have lately taken place,
And in that city the cry is not so much,' Long live the
Prince Regent,' as Long live King Geotge and the
English nation.'
" We have met with no opposition but from the
:kb ; 0)e docility of the poorer classes has been ex-
emplar?, and much beyond any praise. The soldiers
have improved much faster than their officers.
The desertions from the enemy are constant, and
are nim'lst to an incredible extent. We have ocular
demonstration of the bad condition of his cavalry.—
We dread the inclemency of the season is the next
month."

At one period yesterday, Omnium was done as low
25 7 per Cent. discount—it left off at 6i. A descent
en Heligoland—an expected subsidy to Russia, and
other improbable causes, were assigned for this farther
depreciation. At one o'clock this day Osmium was
at 8 per Cent. discount.

The official details of the fall of Almeida, and of
Captain WHITE'S gallant affair with the patrole of
dragoons belonging to the enemy, were published in
the Gazeue of last night. They do not differ from
the accounts that have already been laid before our
Readers.

We have also this day given the enemy's narrative
of the siege of Almeida, copied from Paris. Papers
to the 15th instant, received last night. MAssitNA
admits that the fall of the place was hastened by
the blowing up of the principal magazine. "I'",
An article, dated Scala, gives a swaggering aC-
eount of an action between the French and English
gun-boats in the Strait; of Messina, the moult of which
is, that the enemy's troops on the toast are so exhi-
lirated by their countrymen's display of ralour by
sea, that they cry out 44 For Sicily, for Sicily." But
the al:surdity of this is, that the engagement in
question dil not take place till about a month after
the capture cif the Amanthea convoy, which MURAT
211 edges as an excuse for his not attempting the inva-
sion of Sicily.

This morning we received Dutch papers to the
17th instant, from which we present our readers with
the following extracts : They chiefly relate to the
hostilities which are now going on in full activity be-
tween the Turks and Russians.

FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER 9.
Intelligence from the frontiers of Turkey of the

ingt6 the ardir which the Russian General in chief,
Count Minsky, has addressed to the army before
Schumia, the corps of General Langeron marched
on the 9th August, to the camp before Rudsehuck,
to reinforce the..trithis efiriting on the siege of that
place.
Thera is, however, no appoint* of their intend-
to make another assault. It is, it is said, provi-
