A Cabinet Council was held at the Secretary of
'Rate's office yesterday, after the arrival of the Mes-
senger from Windsor with the Bulletin. It assembled
at three o'clock, and was attended by the LORD

till past six.
La Readers 'will have perceived with regret that

His Royal Highness the PRINCE OF WALES, who

terday at two o'clock, received an express at mid-
frnight. We cannot pretend to know any thing of the con-
tents of the dispatch received by his Royal Highness;

this morning, he set off for the royal residence, whence

LISBON, DEC. 3.
Extract of an Official Communication from Marshal General
Lord Wellington, to his Excellency Miguel Pereira Forjaz,
dated Cann°, December 1.
" The corps of the enemy's troops, the advanced
guard of which engaged with the troops commanded
by • General Silveira on the 14th of the last month,
moved to the left, and made its appearance on the
19th in the Subugal in the Coa, where it marched in
the direction of Belmonte and-Fundas, and taking the
two roads which lead to the Zezere through Lower
Beira, reached Cardegaik on the 25th of the same
month. •

44 The Militia of Lower Beira continually hung on
the rear of the enemy, and caused him a considerable
loss. The said detachment of the enemy's troops
consists of those which left Portugal with General
Foie, who went to Paris ; and of those, belonging to
the three corps of the army of Portugal which were
left !in Salamanca, Ciudad Rodrigo, and Almeida,
to garrison the said places; of three or four battalions,
detached from the Bth corps, by order of the Empe.
ror, under the coulimand of General Serras, for the
purpose of maneuvering on the frontiers, and of the
convalescents of the army of Portugal, composing in
The whole a force of about 2400 men.

66 It is difficult to ascertain the exaet number of
the said reinforcements, but in my estimation it does
not exceed 8000 men.

Theatroops who compose the 9th corps, form
the garrisons of those places in Castile whence the
troops were withdrawn. who lately entered Portugal.
" The enemy continues to maintain himself in
Santarem, the strength of which position has been
considerably increased ; he has also fortified a post in
Punhite, on the left bank of the riper Zezere, and
another in the environs of Peruer and Alcanhede, on
the right of the position of Santarem, and watches,
with the most careful attention, all our movements
in that direction.

The weather has been constantly very bad ever
since the middle of November, the cross-roads are
altogether impassable for artillery, and very difficult
for the passage of infantry, while aft the same time
the waters are out, and the low grounds overflowed.
All the accounts which I receive from Castile unani-
mously assure me, that the Spanish flying parties
continue to act with the utmost activity, and that
their operations against the enemy have of late proved
very successful. I have the honour to remain, with
consideration acid respect, &c. (Signed)
et WELLINGTON."
DEC. 5.—A number of deserters and prisoners
continued to arrive from the enemy during the last
week. The former are almost all Germans or Ita-
lians. By them we learn, that all the foreign troops
in the French service were at an allowance of half a
1 ration of bread, with scarcely any flesh meat, and
that a diarhisa prevailed through the whole French
army, of which many of the soldiers died daily.
The Gazette of Estremadura, of the 27th inst.
brings no particular account of the advantages
gained by the Guerrillhas over the French : they are
nevertheless certain, and it is to be hoped, that by
the next mail from Oporto, satisfactory details in this
respect will be received.
10.—There is nothing new from the army.
It is in agitation to fortify a line from Setubal by
Palmela to Moeta, which is generally belie►ed may
be rendered as strong as is necessary to defend the
opposite coast.

will not be able to cross. General Fane will prove,
that the French must not, as a matter of course, be
victorious. Condeira being only two leagues from
Coimbra, many people think they would have made
the attack yesterday ; some, however, think they will
wait for reinforcements, and till the rivet is fordable.

By a ship-from Rio Yaneiro, which has arrived at
Guernsey, a letter was yesterday received, stating
that some unpleasant symptoms of tumult had been
manifested in the Brazils. Several arrests had taken
place in the capital, and a body of trpops under the
CONDS DX ARCOT were on their march to Bahia, to
secure submission in that dependency.

A vessel, the Maria, from Dieppe, is arrived at
Ramsgate in distress. She has a Messenger on board
with dispatches from Mr. Russet., the American
Charge d'Affaires at Paris, to Mr. PINICNEY. They
are conjectured to relate to the determination of the
French Government ,on the recent proclamation of
the President of the United States. The Maria, it is
said, was not permitted to land ihe Messenger and
dispatches at Deal, off which port she first appeared.
Another vessel arrived at Cowes, from Norfolk,
Virginia, whence she sailed on the 94th ult. bound
for a Dutch port, brings accounts that before leer de-
parture General ARMSTRONG had several conferences
with the President of the United States, in which he
had disclosed the red intentions of NAPOLEON on
American trade. Mr. Mato!sok: is stated to have
expressed serious grief at his having too hastily issued
the Proclamation of the Ist of November, and the
partisans-of France, from the most clamorous of men,
art suddenly become the most sisent.

We were surprised to learn by this vessel, that in
America serious apprehensions were entertain-ea that
a national bankruptcy would take place here, and in
consequence of this expectation, it is asserted, that
Bank of England notes had been sold at public auc-
tion, at 94 per cent.

The Editor of a Federal Paper in Norfolk writes,
under date of the 22d November, that many of the
citizens of the Republic were tar from being satisfied
with the sincerity of the -assurances of France, and
doubted if the President had not too precipitately
issued his proclamation.
It is reported, that Mr. PINXNEY has sent over to
France to ascertain whether any American vessels have
been lately seized and confiscated in the ports of that
country, contrary to the pledge held out, that the Ber-
lin and Milan decrees would cease to exist subsequent
to the Ist of November last. This information is
considered indispensable towards the further progress
of any arrangement which might have been negocia-
ting between this country and the United States.

Yesterday orders were issued by Lord JOFIN
THYNNZ, as Vice-Chamberlain, for the mourning to
change on Sunday, the 6th of January.
Considerable alterations are making at the head of
the Serpentine River in Hyde Park. There is a new
conduit forming, to communicate with the river and
the basin beneath, and considerable improvements
are to be made near the bridge.
There was an error, we understand, in the state-
ment that an interview had taken place between the
Committee of American Merchants and the Marquis
WELLESLEY, respecting the repeal of the Orders in
Council. No personal communication was had either
on Friday or Saturday ; but on the latter day a Me-
morial was presented from the Committee to his Lord-
ship, and from the short lapse of tifneno official notice
has yet been taken of the communication.
Some doubts are entertained of the correctness of
the statement of the seizure of an American ship, di-
rect from the United States to Bourdeaux, and she
imprisonment of the crew, the letters of the Ilth inst
being wholly silent on the subject. .

BREAD.—There being no Court of Aldermen this
day, the LORD MAYOR ordered it to continue at pre-
sent prices.
The Wolf, which escaped a few days since in Rut-'
laftdshire, is still at large, and has baffled all the ef-
forts which have been made to take him. In addi-
tion to a great number of sheep that have been de-
stroyed by this ferocious animal, a fine filly feial was
found, on Friday morning, so torn and lacerated as
to preclude all pos4ibility of her recovery.
