Last night we received Portuguese Papers to the
11th instant, from which we have given extracts in
ot.r front page. By these papers it appears, that the
storm which did so much damage at Cadiz extended
also to the Tagus, where several vessels were wrecked.
At Oporto the bridge was thrown down, all the lower
part of the town overflowed, and thirty people lost
their lives.
This day we received other Portuguese Papers to
the 18th instant.
They mention a report that Marshal VICTOR (the
Duke of Bzu.oxo) had been killed in some late affair
in. Spain, but neither the time nor place is mentioned;
and therefore it deserves im credit.
From Galicia it is stated that the Junta have been
active in putting every place in the best state of de.
fence ; that they are in daily expectation of. 30,000
stand of arms from England ; that' they have levied
heavy contributions to defray their expences ; and
that the church plate is to be sent to England imme-
diately. The City of Astorga has lately been strongly
fortified.

The French are about 15,000 strong in the neigh-
bourhood of Salamanca, their foraging parties have
lately plundered several villages on the frontiers, and
driven off the cattle. Skirmishes take place between
the advanced posts almost daily, and we are in ex-
pectation that a general attack will be made ere lOng.
The British have, at Almuda, ten days provisions
for 30,000 men ; at Oporto, six weeks provision for
10;000 ; and at Coimbra, two months provisions for
15,000 ; they are collecting at Leiria.
