SATURDAY; OCTOBER go:
ThPritiosss of Wales and Princess Elizabeth
-pickets have both arrived at Falmouth with mails
from Lisbon to the 7th instant, but the acct±unts
_ _ _

brought by them are rendered comparatively unim-
portant by the arrival of much later intelligence.
Yesterday, the APOLLO frigate, Captain TAyton,
and the LAVINIA, Lord Witztast Srawaar, arrived
at Portsmouth from Portugal. The LAVINIA has had
a tedious passage, the APOLLO only four days; she

has brought dispatches from Lord WELLtNotort dat-
ed Memday last.

We find that Lord WELLINGTON thought it neces-
sary to retreat, being hard pushed by-Mamma ;, but
that MASSENA was still farther pushed, being destitute
of forage for his cavalry, and hii army, literalli
starving. ROXANA by some masterirmsevenles4fiai
got in his rear with 10,000 Srani'aids, and has corn-
pletely cut of all his, communications with France
' and with JosOtt BONaratti'z's army in Spain ; but
he is desperate now, and so are the French troops;
and we are not without fear of his meeting Lord,
Wra.taNwrow, who, though we esteem him a very
superior officer, has to contend with a General who
is held to be the first in the French service ; and
though, Portuguese included, the numbers of the con-
-1
tending armies are nearly equal ; and though thel
Portuguese on the mountains have behaved well, yet
such is the crisis that we are not without our appre-
hensions. The Allies Army is now within 27 miles
of Lisbon. In his retreat, Lord Wattaxarox's Ca-
, valry and that of the enemy have had daily rencon-
fres, which, we are happy to hear from authority on
which we rely, uniformly terminated to the honour
di the British. The French are !confessedly inferior
to us now in artillery and cavalry, and in the present
instance their cavalry is impoverished from want of
forage.
Lord WELLINGTON'S present position is very strong;
and nothing but a very strong force, able manceuvres,
and a desperate enemy, can dislodge him : his head-
quarters are at Torres Vidr Is, a nd the army is in 'a
line from thence to the sea.

By. the Aroz,Lo there have come over General Sr.
Snots, several Colonels, and many French Officers
of the higher ranks, ao prisoners ; Major-General
aNt, Lieutenant-Colonel SAUNDERS, 61st
; Lientenant-Colonel BARCL AT, 52d regi-
very badly wounded ; the Hon. Major sl'
52d regiment, and some other sick and wound.
Officers : the Lady of Sir THOMAS HARDY, and
• Lieutenant Him?, late of his Majesty's ship
; the French General Sr. Siszox, and seve-
French prisoners : Major M,Gacaon, and
others of the wounded Officers of the action of
Bth, were so ill, that they could not be con-
board of ships.
English army was in the highest state of
haakth, order, and discipline ; and all expressed a wish
tolurts another doter with the French. Previous to
the *action, great numbers of men had been sent up
from all the hospitals to join the different regiments :
and & healthy vns the army, and so well supplied by
the Commissariat Department, that there was little
to doin the hospitals for the numerous medical staff
with Lord WRI,LINGTON.
In addition to these particulars, we give the sail'
joined articles.-.which also present short details of the
accounts brought by the Armo :
GO: WORT, OCTOBER 111.
" The APOLLO.is just arrived from Lisbon, and
brings the following intelligence, with five French'
Officers, including a General Officer, made prisoners
on the 27th ult.4-,That Lord WIILLINOTON had crossed
I the bloadego, Simi fixed his head•quarters at Tor-
ridos, and that. part of his Army reached the
Villa Franca, oily five leagues from Lisbon ; that
General Rosana, had joined him on the left with
10,000 Spaniards, and the British troops sent from
England had also joined the Army. All the deser-
ters, of whichthetz are many daily, agree in stating,
that the French hate not more than ten days provi.
stone in -store.
“ illuminations and great rejoicingi took place at.
Lisbon before the APOLLO sailed, and it was expected.
another battle would be fought in a few days."

LISBON, OCTOBER .4.
The most revered and most excellent Patriarch, has
been pleased to direct, that in all the Churches of his
Pairiarchati public prayers shall be offered up to the
Most Himi, for the success obtained by our armies
.!On die 2/th ult.
The Superior Junta residing in Meant, having
found that the measures adopted by them to succour
,Tarragona and Tortosa, have been productive of the
Most acin:inageous results, have resolved to grant to
Masters of ships a gratification of one dollar for every
cahiz (a measure) of wheat or Oise, which they take
on board for the above places, and which gratifica-
tion is to be immediately paid by the above Junta, on
the. production of a certificate of such grain or pulse
being duly landed.
OCTOBER s.—The enemy, warned by the reception
which the combined army gave him on the memora-
ble 27th of September, when he left more than 2/000
killed bri the field of battle, and had ail immense
number wounded, which he barbatously abandoned,
endeavoured to get round our positions, crossing by,
Mortagoa in the direction of Sardao, and then turn-
ing to the South. The able movements of Lek
Wellington, however, frustrated this plan, find oto4
nriny continued to cor.centrate itself, acquiring every
moment greater superiority, not only by the large re-
inforcements it successively receives, bUttiecause Mas-
sena contiuttally finds himself involved in neva:diffi-
culties, hailing his comMunication with the province
of Beira cut off, -and every day losing troops from fa.
he stiffen the igredteSt distress from the

The tried valour of the allied troops, and the bad
condition of the entity, which every clay grows MAW,
give us every reason, to hope the most fortunate
sults. trench temerity Will ;pay dearly kit having
penetrated into the tettitdry of ramp].
OCTOBER 6,—According to the last aetoitnts froth
our army, the head quarters of Lord Wellington were
still at Leiria, and it was tibt certain that the enemy
bad yet advanced beyond Coimbra. The tegislarity
kith which the corps of the combihed armies have
Performed irrnements so complicated in )sitesente of
the enemy, without the least confusion, and their teal-

General who commands, and it is not possible tb de-
scribe the confidence which the whole army has in him.
