I APRIL 13.—The war seems to be at an end in Es.
tremadura. Ballasteros having left sufficient garri-
sons in the Sierra, is falling back upon Zalamea, for
the purpose of more securely watching the motions of
Regnier. The latter, however, did not dare to ha-
zard an action with O'Donnel. His retreat to Calseza
del Boey indicates, that he has finally quitted Estre-
maduta, and is directing his march to Cordova, or
perhaps to the foot of the Sierras contiguous to La
Mancha.
All the letters received here state, that the enemy
' are committing the most horrid atrocities in their re-
treat. But let us tern away our eyes from those scenes
of horror, to fix then; upon the brilliant perspective
which Spain now exhibit, compared with her situa-
tion at the end of January. It seems as if a protecting

Alan le 16.—The ex:.reme secrecy with which all the
operations of Lord Wellington's Army are conducted,
and the silence that be invariably preserves as to his
future intentions, prevents us from giving you any
news but what relates almost immediately to our-
selves. The inhabitants of this city are as comfort-
able as possible. They have neither wants nor fears;
to-morrow they may have both. While the clanger
is out of sight, they fancy it noes not exist. For my-
self, I do not feel so secure ; because it would be vain
to imagine that Lord Wellington and his army could
resist all the power the French could bring against
him, did they think it worth while ; but they have at
present more important objects to engage them ; and
while the British Army continues inecive in Portu-
gal, confining itself to that country, until the enemy
have settled matters a little permanently in Spain, it
would be very unwise in them to attempt any thing
against Portugal. We do not hear that Lord Wel.
lington intends to move.

THE ARMY.

POI:fUGL ESE PAPERS.

The dispatches received yesterday from Lord WEL-
LINGTON, were dated the 13th instant. The enemy,
as we have more than once stated, have retired from
their fbrmer position into the interior of Spain, and
in their retreat are said to have suffered greatly from
the inhabitants of the villages. The Frenck are also
described as being much in want of provisions, and
in a very sickly state. No fears were entertained for
the safety of Portugal, and affairs, on the whole,
wore a very promising aspect.—The }lead•quarters
of the British still continued at Viseu.

ROYAL ACADEMY.—Yesterday the Nobility, Ama-
teurs, and Artists, were admitted to a private view of
the Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Among the
company were, the Bishops of SALISBURY, BRISTOL;
and CLOYNE ; Lord MULGRAVE, Lord and Lady
BRUCE, General PHIPPS; and the Hon. AuGusrus
Phttrvs ; Lord Mulgrave's Brother, Sir GEORGE and
Lady BEAUMONT, his Excellency the Persian Ambz-
, sador, and many othcr persons of distinction.
Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the
East-India House, when Captain JAMES TIM MEL&
was sworn into the command of the ship EXETER,
and took leave of the Court, previous to departing Ix
Bombay direct. The Court adjourned at six o'cla:
till Wednesday next.
It has been erroneously stated, that Messrs.
ZIE and DICKENSON had proceeded from Morlaix to
Paris. These Gentlemen remained at Morlaix when
o'2 laA letters from thence came away, and it was not
within the scope of their mission to advance further
into the country. It is hoped, that the whole business
with regard to the exchange of prisoners is adjusted,
and that a French Agent will soon arrive in England,
provided with sufficient authority to carry it into exe-
cution.

The accounts from the Peninsula have certainly
assumed a more interesting character of late than for
many months before. In spite of all the disasters
that have befallen the inhabitants ; in defiance of the
seemingly unresisted advances of the enemy—the
treachery of Spanish Generals and Spanish Juntas,
the native starnin.► of the lnwer nrrirrs seem to have
remained undestroyed, and all hope is not yet extinct
that they may yet maintain their independence. The
ground of hope is, we confess, but small ; the issue
would not be doubtful, if the French were to have
their principal weapon turned against themselves
Wherever they have gained a footing they have abo-
lished numerous abuses, by which the people were
kept in a state of wretchedness and poverty. Let those
who direct the operations against the French adopt
the same system—Let them hold out to the people
substantial benefits worth contending for, and they
will yet be victorious. But if they expect the hearty
aid of the people to be exerted in rivetting their own
chains, and perpetuating such abuses as have hitherto
prevailed, they will certainly meet with that diiap-
pointment and defeat which such conduct merits.
In the mean time we have great pleasure in recor-
ding the various instances which have lately occurred
of Spanis:i prowess. To the extracts which we gave
yesterday from the Portuguese papers, we have this
day added some others worthy of a perusal. But we
must again add, that all the late appearances of suc-
cess will prove perfectly illusive, unless such a change
of system as we have hinted at be speedily adopted.

A report has been in circulation, but en insufficient
grounds, that numerous seizures have been made in
the harbours of the United States, under the arrange.
ments enacted by the Non-Intercourse Laws. This
rumour has originated in a transaction, under official
authority, of a very confined nature. Three Ameri-
can ships, called the Stephen, the Packet, and the
Stirling, laden with British manufactures, have not
been allowed to be reported at New York, by the di-
rection of Mr. GALLATIN, who has sent to Washing-
ton for instructions. The ground of this proceeding
is a real or supposed infraction of the Non-Intercourse
Laws.

I3ADAJOZ, APRIL 6.
The brave inhabitants of the valley of Aran sup-
port the contest in the most heroic style. The French
have not gained an inch of ground upon them, and
their efforts are daily attended with considerable loss.
They lately summoned the inhabitants to submit; but
the latter replied, that they preferred death to French
slavery.
The enemy, irritated by this answer, made a furious
attack upon them, but were shamefully repulsed with
considerable loss.
Aram 7.—The division of Regnier occupies at
present the towns of Medellin, Villa Nueva de Li Se-
rena, and D. Benito, in which last are his head-quar-
ters. His rear-guard left D. Alvara and Valverde,
on the sth, and marched for Guarena, whete it re-

ilallasteros is retiring by Zalamea la Real, in the
county of Nuebla, leaving some troops under the
command of Brigadier Contreras, in Ronquillo, and
• different posts in the Sierra.
O'Donnel's advance entered Merida, the .sth in-
stant, and about a league and a half from that city,
he took 1.500 rations, which were to have been for-
. warded to the enemy at Medellin.
APRIL 9.—An English Expedition which was des-
tined for Catalonia, is said to have arrived in that
principality.
On the Gth, Regnier's division evacuated Guarena,
- Villa Gonzalo, and Medellin, and marched for Cam-
pagnario and Cabeza de Bocy. O'Donnel's advanced
parties are in pnrsuit of the enemy. A serjeant of Hus-
sars, belonging to the Crusaders of Albuquerque,
killed a French Lieutenant of Dragoons, on the bridge
of Medellin.
