LISBON, JULY 14.

According to accounts received from the 6th Army
of Galicia, we find that the grand reinforcements ex-
pected from France are now reduced to a reserve of
78,000 men, which are to assemble in Bayonne,
through which town more than 30,000 have marched
for France during the last five months of this year ;
in addition to which, the enemy has suffered an im-
mense loss in killed, prisoners, and deserters. This
information is confirmed by other channels.
The army of Galicia continues to act upon the of-
fensive ; and by the possession of the bridge of Puente
. de Orbigo and Bantreza, cuts off the communication
between Leas and Benavente, and commands the

Banks of the Elsa.
AUGUST 18.—Head.quarters at El Badon on the
12th.—On the 12th Lord Wellington made a recon-
noissance on Ciudad Rodrigo, covered by General
Blade's brigade of hone, and the light division. The

garrison consists of 1600 infantry and a few cavalry,
and has provisions for three months. Marmont re-
mains in the vicinity of Placentia. Our movements
do not seem to have occasioned any alteration in his

plans. Two divisions and a brigade of cavalry re-
main in the Alentego, with General Hill. AU goes
on here as we could wish.
ASTORGA, JULY 29.
The famous chief Longa, after being briskly pur-

sued for some time, extricated himself, and succeeded
in making '2OO prisoners.

The 2d Legion of Castile is acting in the rear of
the enemy.

NOTICE PROM CASTILE.

The Lieutenant of Cavalry, J. Monhoz, Adjutant
to Don J. Sanchez, Commander of the troops and
part of the .sth district comprehended between theTejo
and Douro, informs his principal, under date of the
28d inst. among other things, of the state of block-
ade, in which, by means of the said cavalry, he keeps
the fortres of Ciudad Rodrigo, whilst a strong Eng-
lish corps, destined to besiege it in form, is approach-
ing. According to advices from his Excellency Cap.
• tain Gene: al Castanos, this army will shortly receive
a reinforcement of 600 horse.
VIM; CY OF CIUDAD RODRIGO, JULY 2.
The enemy, in number 5000, conducting a convoy
for Ciudad Rodrigo, set out to-day from Martin del
Rio, and marched by Calcada Real for the said place.

From Zamora to Salamanca and Ciudad Rodrigo
there are few troops, in the second place there is a
garrison of only 300 men, who keep in the fort.
The French expect no reinforcements from France,

(none have arrived for a considerable time) which

causes great disgust among the Generals. General
Santocildes has united to the cavalry under his corn-
mand more than 10 00 horse trom the different parties.
D. Juliao continues to inlist for the service, through.
out all the towns on the banks of the Tormes.
ZAMORA, JULY 26.
The garrison of this place consists of 600 infantry
and 30 horse. 7he Governor greatly persecutes the

inhabitants—every day be causes some of the most

respectable citizens to be imprisoned. It is reckoned,
that at present there are 104 of them confined in the
Castle. '

The privateleuers brought by the Anholt Mails
which arrived on Sunday, announce, that ailditional
measures of severity had been adopted by the French
Government at Hamburgh, for the purpose of pre-
venting commercial correspondence with this country.
Having succeeded in cutting off all communication
between Hamburgh and Heligoland, they had now
directed their attention to the correspondence between
that city and Gottenburgh, in order to discover whe-
ther any commercial intercourse was held with Eng-
land through that medium. Accordingly, three bags
of letters, which bad been made up at Hamburgh,
to be forwarded to Gottenburgh, had-been stopped,
and the letters examined ; when it was found that
some of them were ultimately intended for British
merchants. Such letters were detained, and the writers
of them punished. The Hamburgh letters are in
future to undergo an inspection, before they are al-
lowed to be sent off to Gottenburgh.
Dublin Papers of Saturday last, contain the pro-
ceedings and resolutions of the Catholics of the County
of Meath. The resolutions having been similar to
those voted at other meetings of the same description,
we do not think it necessary to copy them ; but we
have given, at full length, the speeches of two Prote-
-stem Gentlemen, Itho attended the meeting.

Thursday afternoon, the Royal Lanarkshire Mili-
tia arrived at Edinburgh from Dunbar, and next
morning they proceeded on their route to Ardrossan,
to embark for Ireland.

Several transports sailed from Bristol, Friday se'n-
night, for Irelands withdetachments of militia. At four
o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, one of-them,
the North Star, Connow master, having on board a
detachment of the Royal Westmoreland, struck on the
Monkstone Rock, about one league S.W. of the Flat
Holmes, and opposite Cardiff. The first shock heeled
the vessel so much, that if the people on board had
not instantly scrambled up to the other side, they must
all have perished. The vessel continued to strike ;
when signals of distress were made and guns fired ;
but no attention was paid to them, the other trans-
ports having got too far a-head. Shortly after the
ebb tide wore the vessel off ; but the water increased
so fast in the hold, that it was with the greatest diffi-
culty they could keep her from sinking. The pumps
were kept going for nine hours, and they happily suc-
ceeded in running the vessel on the beach nearPenarth.
The militia were next morning marched to Cardiff,
where they were' kindly received by the inhabitants.
The North Hants Militia embarked at Pill, on Satur-
day, for Ireland.
