PRIVATE CORRUPONDENCs..
• MADRID, Jas. 31.
The Infant Don Sebastian has entirely recovered
from his indisposition. This Prince has accompanied
the Princess de Beyra, his mother, to the Royal resi-
dence of Pardo. The 2d of next month their Majesties
and their Royal Highnesses come to Madrid, to be pre-
sent at the -festival of the Purification. The Royal
family will immediately afterwards return to Pardo.
All the letters whicliarrive from Badajos agree in de-
daring that the fortresses of Velvet and Campo Mayor
have been taken possession of by the English troops.—,
No regard has been paid to the severity of the winter,
,oe. to the difficulties of the road, in so great a hurry
were the English Generals to take up positions at a
distance from Lisbon.
The spirit of the inhabitants of that capital produces
the greatest uneasiness. It is displayed daily in acts of
discontent, and evenin the assassination of individuals.
The remedy, however, which has been, as is believed, dis-
covered, appears very ill chosen, for the appearance of
the English troops in the fortresses produces the worst
effect upon the Portuguele and upon the troops that
remain faithful to the Regeocy. It is even asserted that
already a great somber a-Portuguese troops have As-
appeared from the stations occupied by the gaglish.
The Spanish Government is making arrangeme
for considerably, augmenting the military force whi
has been collected on the frontiers of Portugal, est*
cially in the corps d'armieof Old Castile. The •regi-i
ment of Provincial Militia of Toledo has arrived at,
Zamora. Other regiments, which were cantoned in
the interior of Old Castile, have advanced towards the
frontiers, in the neighbou,rhood of Ciudad Rodrigo aid
Alcanivs. A regiment from Burgos is expected ate
Madrid, as well as several corps which would ere this
have quitted Catalonia, had they not been detained bt
the bad weather. The whole of these will merely piss
through the capital, and will immediately pass towards
the frontiers, whither the sth regiment of Light Infan
will precede them.
Lieutenant-General Sarsfield, the Commander.'
Chief of the Army of Observation. who has arrived
here from Catalonia, is to set out again to-day to go to
his post. This General, after having been admitted to
pay his respects to the King, was present yesterday at
the Council of Ministers, held at Pardo.
General Monet, who, as was said, had been. recalled,
in order to take the place of General Looga, in the
command of Old Castile, is merely to command id
Ciudad Rodrigo ; he has set out for that destination. As
to General Longa, he does in fact quit his command,
but he retains permission to retire to Santona, Burg
de Osma, or San Andero, as he may se! fit.
The Marquis Monte-Hermoso is named Adjutaat.
General of the corps of Volunteer Royalists.---The new
Ambassador from the King of Saxony, arrived hero
two days ago, with a numerous and brilliant suite.
It is asserted that Mr. Lamb is to quit Madrid, and,
to proceed to Lisbon, in order to take the place of Sir
William A'Court, who is to proceed as Ambassador, it
is said, to one of the Northern COurts.
FF.DRUARY 2.—This morning, Mr. Lamb had a very
sharp explanation with M. Zarnbrano, on the subject of
the re-entrance of the Portuguese into Spain. The
British Envoy reproaches our Government with having
left open eighteen leagues to the rebels, without taking
any step either for arresting their progress. or for dis-
arming them, as bad been agreed on. The answer of
Zambrano is not known; but it is well known that
M. Calonsarde continues to enjoy the utmost favour ;
and that a diPlomatie attempt; the object of which was to
disgrace M. Salmon, produced no effect. Mr. Lamb, for
the third time, is making preparations for his departure.
M. d'Ofalia, who was preparing to set out fur London, has re-
solved orders to defer hiv journey, the presransed departure of Mr.
Lamb rendering the removal of ftl. WWl' is wissoessasy.
The following is s copy of a letter received kiwi Ciudad Rodrigo :
Ctunas Essessao, Jaw 9.8.
" The Portuguese Royalists concentrated 'near Al-
meida, and who have been obliged to re-enter the,
Spanish territories, have met there with none of those
hostile demonstrations with which they were menaced.
They arrived at Sabradills wig.hout haring abandoned
their held artillery, in spire a the badness. of the roads.
They were seen, with admirable constancy, traversing
the mountains that separate us from Beira, carrying on
their shoulders• the cannons and caissons, which the
ruggedns ss of the route had compelled them to dismount
whilst their rear guard was protecting their retreat by
frequent skirmishes with the Constitutional troops.—
When they arrived in test Spanish territory they were
e'comed by the Autho'itics, b. th civil and mili.ary,
with all that kindi.e.s which the holiness of their cause,
4nd their courage, though unfortunate, merited. The
