LISBON, JULY 28.

According to intelligence received from Braganza
of the 20th inst. Kellerman had not collected his di-
vision in Benevente, nor made any movement. The
French on the side of Asturias, after having pillaged
Caitropol, retreated into the interior of the country.
Besides 15 deserters, who arrived a few days back, 15
reached Braganza on the 19th, and 16 more were
expected on the 20th. Letters from Almeida of the
'2sth, advise, that the Fort Conception was evacuated
because it could not be of any use to the enemy. On
the 21st inst. there was some skir►rishing at the ad.
vanced posts, and we took eleven prisoners. Part of
Regnier's division has joined Massena, but the rest
still remain in the neighbourhood of Coria.

We learn by letters from Manzanera of the sth inst.
that the celebrated Mina lawly attacked and defeated
a column of French troops in Riojas, and took 600
prisoners. Letters from Badajoz of the 23d instant,
state, that th eremy lost a treat number of men,
through desertion, on his retreat from the said pro-
vince, and that a detachment of Spanish cavalry had
entered Truzillo.

We have not any interesting intelligence to com-
municate. The state of our army, as well as that of
our allies, is excellent beyond description. Persons
who passed through a considerable part of the. posi-
tions which they occupy, and are well acquainted with
the military art, bestow the highest praise on Lord
Wellington for the energy he inspires, and the discip-
line he maintains in the different military corps which
compose those armies. The most perfect harmony
and the best order prevails among the military of the
allied nations. They love their Commanders as their
fathers, rather than their Generals ; and all the troops
manifest the best will and strongest attachment to his
