DISPATCHES FROM LORD WELLINGTON.
a Downing-street, M.ty 15, 1811.

" A Dispatch has been received from Lord Wu.-
LiNuTox, dated Villa Formosa, May 1, in which he
states, that having received information that the enemy
were encreasing their force oa the Agueda, he arrived
there on the 23th. The enemy had, on the 23d,
attacked the pickets of the Allied Army on the
Azava, but were repulsed with great gallantry. On
this occasion Lieutenant PRITCIIA RD and 17 men were

wounded. The enemy repeated their attack on the
27th, and were again repulsed.
" The Ist May they reconnoitred the bank of the
Agueda with eight squadrons of cavalry and tlltee
battalions of infantry ; they did not make any at-
tempt to pass the river, nor did they attack the pic-
kets nn the bridge of Marialva. They have collected
a large force at Ciudad Rodrigo, and Marshal MAS•
SENA and the head-quarters of the army are at that
place. The river Agueda is not fordable for infantry,
but it is for cavalry."

A Heligoland mail which arrived this morning,
has brought us the following intelligence :

HELIGOLAND, MAY 1.

A Gentleman arrived here to-day, who was pre-
sent in Amsterdam at the time of the late disturb-
ances. He stated, that previous to his departure the
most strict measures had been adopted to prevent
any thing like a recurrence of insurrection. A suf-
ficient number of troops had been called in to over-
awe the populace, and police regulations inforced
with the utmost rigour. Not above three persons
were allowed to be seen together in the streets, and
the Magistrates were held responsible for any riot or
tumult that might take place.

A letter from Memel, received by the Anholt mail
of yesterday, distinctly says—"• Do not believe
word of what you hear of war between the two Em-
perors—there is no foundation for such rumours, but
in the hopes and wishes of ignorant and interested
parties."

The Swedes have been thrown into great conster-
nation by the appearance of our fleet in the Baltic, it
having been reported that there were troops on board
for the purposes of invasion. The batteries on the
coast have, therefore, been repaired and reinforced.
We are sorry to learn that British property has been
seized in the Swedish pot ts to a great amount. The
folloWing communication contains the particulars of
this event :

1 " CARLSHAMS, APRIL 2s.
" An order has come here to unload all the sequestrated ships
having colonial and manufactured goods on board, and to land
the cargoes, in order that they may be seat up the country to be
delivered at the King's ware houses. Military and labourers are
put In the vessels to enforce the order, and to assist in the prompt
execution of it."

Another letter adds, that 4, the Captains of all ves-
sels laden with British goods are sent off at a moment's
notice, without the payment of freight, or any thing."

The French have provided the fortress of Dantzic
with an army of 16,000 men, and very heavy contri-
butions of corn and wine Are levying in the Prussian
states and elsewhere, in order to supply the wants of
the forces in that city and the surrounding country.
The following relates to the operations of our Fleet
in the Baltic;

is GOTrENBURGH, MAY 6.

" Sir JAMr$ SAUNIAUIIL2, with the British fleet, still conti-
nues off this port. He has brought with him an Order in Coun-
cil dated the 13th of April, to detain ships, and it is singular that
those alio are incapable of obtaining sailing orders from the Ad-
miral which have licences of the 12th of that month, six days
subsequent to the order with which he is provided. These ships
have grain and timber on board, to which commodities thator-
der applies.

" We understand that matters are made up between Russia
and F rance:.

The speech of N.APOLEON to the French merchants,
Ahich was given exchitisids in the STAR of Saturday,
has excited a considerable degree of interest, although
doubts have been thrown out in some cotemporary
prints of its authenticity. We have only to tissure
our readers, that it cone to us in a most unquestion-
able shape, having been furnished by a British Mer-
chant of as high probity and honour as any man in
the kingdom, and we have reason to know that it is
of equal authenticity with any public document from
France that ever reached this country.
Accounts received direct from Paris, confirm the
intelligence which we communicated to our Readers
exclusively on Monday, of immense reinforcements
being on their way to the Peninsula. It is added, in
the same accounts, that NAPOLEON is more than ever
determined on pursuing the war in Spain and Portu-
gal, having, as it is said, dismissed the Minister CHANI-
PAONY for presuming to represent the difficulties of
continuing the war in the Peninsula.

Papers and Letters frrim Holland to the 7th inst. I
arrived yesterday, by which we are informed, that a
new Decree has been issued, the object of which
is, to prevent as much as possible, the marriage of
the young men, in order that more facility may be
given to the cr mpleuon of the conscription. All
men under the sage of 30, are prohibited from mar-
rying, arid all those above that age, must produce 14
witnesses to attest that the age of the claimant is full
30 years.
