DISPATCHES FROM PORTUGAL.
The DAPHNE man of war has arrived from Lisbon
after a very short passage. The Waliingbam packer
has also arrived, after a passage of 10 days.
By these conveyances dispatches were last night
received from Lord WELLINGTON, and from our Mi.
inister at Lisboa, the former dated the 27th and the
latter the 30th ult.
. From Lord WELLINGTON'S dispatches, it appears
that MASSENA had passed the Coa, and had posted
,his army in strength, having pushed his advanced
guard on to Almeida. Lord WELLINGTON states his
determination to be in Celerico on the 28th. MASSENA.
had persevered in the barbarous course of burning and
laying waste every place through which he passed, as
the means, no doubt, of impeding the pursuit of his
brave followers. His retreat was covered by Marshal
NEY ; and our most experienced Officers say, that it
was conducted with a skill and ability that made itquite
a lesson in tactics to every military eye. But, notwitb.
standing the sagacity and celerity of his movement, and
the horrible devastations to which he had recourse, to
deprive the Allies of all shelter in the pursuit—Lord
WELLINGTON had kept an incessant attack upon his
skirts, and had daily skirmishes with his cavalry.--.
One most brilliant affair took place in a plain, be-
tween the 16th Light Dragoons and a French regi-
ment of Hussars, in which the 16th displayed the su.
periority of • English horse in a manner most conspi-
cuous. They literally cut down a great number, and
dispersed the rest in all directions, taking two or three
Officers, and about 40 men, prisoners. Immense
loss was sustained by the flying enemy, bothin men
and baggage, notwithstanding the compact form in
which they moved; and the advantageous ground
which they had to pass, affording them strong posts
whenever they were pressed. Of these Marshal Ntx
never failed to profit with the most perfect science.
The dispatches from Mr. STUART confirm what we
stated a few days ago, that Lord WELLINGTON had
dispatched Marshal BERsiiFoßp in pursuit of Moarisu.
He also directed Colonels TRANT and Wu.soN with
their respective bodies of Portuguese to follow him by
forced marches, which they did, and joined him on the
23d. Dispositions were made on the 24th for the at•
tack, and on the 25th in the morning General BERES.

fill. He put him to the route on every point, retook
Campo Maior, and established his head-quarters at
Elvas, about fifteen miles from Badajoz ; 600 of the
enemy were left on the field, killed or wounded ; and
the main body fled with precipitation.
The substance of these dispatches were commtanica•
ted, at a late hour last night, in the following notice
