gal. Every effort has been made to bring them to

There' still remains a probability that they will be
s sale., forced to it. One thing is certain, that want of pro.
,e
1 visions has brought about this great and wonderful
change on the face of affairs. They have suffered a.
good deal on the retreat, and we have an immensity
of prisoners, besides 17 cannon, which they had con-
cealed, having no way of carrying them off. On the
other hand, they have done all the mischief in thlir
power, more perhaps than this country will be able to
repair in the course of a century. Santarem and
Coimbra are the only towns they have not burnt to
the ground. Every village affords most distressing
spectacles of their murderous dispositions. In one
house, I saw an old man with his head severed from
his body, and his fingers, &c. cut off ; in the next
room, his wife, an old woman, lay cruelly murdered;
and a boy, her grandson, lying beside her with his
throat cut. The Portuguese are so exasperated, that
they, on the other hand, murder all the Frenchmen
who fall into their hands.
" The enemy burn all the towns they pass through.
My favourite spot, Leyria, presented the most melan-
choly sight ; the magnificent palace of the Bishop,
containing one of the finest libraries in Portugal, was
in flames ; and when we entered the town nothing
but exterior walls were to be seen. The cathedral
was too massive to be burnt, but they did not omit
to destroy the altars and marble fonts, and to root
out the bodies of the bishops and canons. Alcobaca
has been destroyed, as far as fire could perform the
office, 13atalia, which any but savages would have
spared, has participated in the fate of Alcobaca ; but
the magnificent exterior chapter-house and cloisters
were fortunately out of the reach of the destructive
element by which they attempted their ruin : they
rooted out the bodiesof the kings, and destroyed
their tombs,"

PARIS, APRIL S.
On Saturday the 30th March the French and 'Dutch
Imperial Officers at Versailles, gave, in one of the
wings of the Imperial Palace', a magnificent ball, -in
honour of the birth of the King of Rome. A supper
was also given, during which the healths of the Em-
peror, of his august Spouse, and the King of Rome,
were drank. Each toast was announced by a discharge
of gainer:.
APRIL 6.—The King of Naples set out from his
&minions on the first intelligence he received, by te-
legraph, of the birth of the King of Rome, and has
arrived in this capital.
His Excellency Prince Schwartzenberg, charged
with the delivery of a letter from his Sovereign, the
Emperor, had the honour of being admitted yester-
day, after the Levee, to a particular audience of his
Majesty.
CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 26
" The Captain Pacha is on his return from Natolia.
It appears he was especially charged to effect a re-
conciliation between several of the Asiatic Chiefs or
Ayans, and that he has saccceded. He brings back
with him to Conitantinople, Achmet Bey, who was
formerly Pahonabey (Vice-Admiral), and who, in
the revolution of November, INS, when the Janis-
saries revolted, and burned in the Palace of the Porte
Mustapha Barractar, fled with the Captain Pacha,
Rhainiz Paella. This last saved himself in Russia,
but Achmet Bey took refuge near Calliandgi, with one
of the Asiatic Chiefs, a partisan of the new reform.
It is from them that the Captain Pacha has just
brought him back.
The Porte has just issued a finnan, stating that the
Raas of his Highness must not, in any planner, be
placed above the jurisdiction of the local Authorities
b the protection of foreigners ; and particularly thatl
none of them can be Consul or Agent to Foreign ,
Powers.
We cannot be surprised at these orders, considering
that for two years the Rajas of the Morea and the.
Archipelago Islands have passed for English, were,
as such, protected, and refused to pay the impo.-s.—
Many English Consuls, and among them that of Canea,
are Rajas of the Grand Segnior.
The uncle of the Captain Pacha is about setting
out for the uncivilized regencies, charged with many
• commissions by Government. Among others, he takes
several commanding the restitution of several ships
which the Regents had, and which must immediately
be given up as French.

read a letter to the Landamman of Switzerland from
his Majesty the Emperor of the French, in which that
'augu+t monarch informs his Excellency and the. Con-
federation, of the accouchement of her Imperial Ma-
jesty, and the birth of the King of Rome. This joy.
fUI intelligence was immediately announced to the in-
habitants of Soleure by the discharge of artillery.
TRIESTE, MARCHI9.
The wind which has blown lately with extreme vio-

On the 25th a grand mass was celebrated, and re

POR7 UGUESE PAPERS.

LISBON, MARCH 31.
Letters received last night fmni our army state,
that the head-quarters were about four leagues on
014 side of Celerico. It would appear that Massena
haa made a stand there. It is also reported, that the
enemy on the Alentejo side have made a similar stand
at Badajos, with about twelve thousand :men. Our
army in that quarter amounts to 22,000 men. The
cruelty, wanton havock, and destruction, committed
by the French in their retreat, exceeds all former ex-
amples ; they not only burned and destroyed all
houses lad towns near their route, but also murdered
the inhabitants with circumstances of such atrocious
barbarity as would have disgraced, Vandals—their
avidity for plunder was such, that in one place the
Royal Dragoons surprised a party of them digging
the dead out of their graves in a church, in search of
plunder.
General Slade, who commands our cavalry, has
greatly distinguished himself ; he did not for three
days during the pursuit quit his horse, and was al-
most always close upon the enemy. The Royals and
16th Light Dragoons have acquired great reputation
and honour by their gallant behaviour on all occa-
sions. •
The loss of the enemy.must have been immense, as
the roads were literally strewed with dead, and par-
ties of from 50 to 100 each, ape daily brought in as
prisoners. We still hope to hear of a much greater
destruction of the enemy.

INFORMATION FROM GENERAL BALLAsTESOS.
I hasten to commuuicate to your Excellency the
satisfaction which I have just obtained in the surprise
to-day, executed against General Ramon.
I took from him all his baggage, artillery, ammu-
nition, and horses, and made many prisoners.
Those which escaped are wandering dispersed, and
say troops are closely pursuing them.
The moment I can find time, I will give your Ex-
cellency a circumstancial detail of the action.
Field of Battle, Palma, March 2.
The enemy are dispersed, and retiring towards Se-
ville.—Lisbon March 2.5.

OPORTO, MARCH 36 .
On the 20th instant, near Folaccoza, we made 100
prisoners ; gre.tt deal of baggage fell into our
hands. On the 2lst ult. we also took a considerable

number.
The enemy has only 2300 cavalry left. It is said,
that in the whole upwarals of 6000 prisoners have

been taken.
A soldier of the 6:11 Cacadores says, they had a se-
vere skirmish at the I'uente de Vidher, in which an
English Major was killed.

Extract of a letter from OliVeira de l'Hopital, da- ,
ted March 22 :
" The enemy has retreated with the greatest pre-
cipitation, and hai in consequence lost a great num.l
ber of prisoner 3 from our forced marches. They have
laid waste and burned all the villages.
• " In some of the villages the inhabitants have been
able to extinguish the flames, when they have lodged
us in the remaining houses ; and in others, they have
Ihad the courage and the means to arm themselves
and repel the enemy.

In Avo, a small town to the south of Gallizes, the
enemy could not enter. The Captain-Major of that ,
town, Antonio de Millo Pinto Cardosa, with the Cap-
vain of Fusileers, Francisco Madeira da Costa, corn-
rnanding the ordenanzas of that district, repelle five
times the- attacks which the enemy, in number five
men, made, in order to possess themselves of that
place.
In like manner they did not enter Travanca de La►
gos, and Lagaus, villages half a league distant from
the high road of Piehttnus, because they saw some
peasants arrive.
The terror.which accompanies them is surprising,
and it is certain they have noteommitted with impu-
nity the crimes of which tilkyvtave been guilty.
