Some of the private accounts from Lisbon, we are II
concerned to state, rcpresent the combined force of the i
enemy to have become so formidable that Lord Wm...!
LTNGTON appears to have no alternative but that of re-I
treating from his present position or hazarding a ge-
neral battle against superior numbers.
It is reportei, hut we hope incorrectly, that Lord
Bonunensn who arrived on Wednesday from Portugal,
Was entrusted by Lord WELLINGTON with confiden-
tial communications respecting his army, the situation
of which is s.lid to have been rendered rather distress-,
ing ; not merely by the long continuance of unfa-
vourable winds, which had deprived them of the usual
supplies from England, but. by the positions of the
enemy, which made it a certainty that no military
operations would occur for a ruinous length of time.
The same report states that Lord BURGHERSH ascribes
the retreat of General GARDANNE to false information
which he had received of the force of the Allies, which
threw him into a panic, and made him Ay with the
utmost precipitation.
The account of the defeat of General BLAKE by

SCBASTIANI is, we are sorry to say, confirmed by the
letters received from Cadiz. This event occurred
before the latter joined the army before Cadiz.

A private letter from Lisbon states as follows
There are in the Tagus 14. sail of the line, besides
frigates. Lord WELLINGTON is fortifying the south
banks of Ole Tagus very strongly, so that in case
MASSENA should force our lines, these may be enabled
to play upon him, and that the seamen and marines
frt,rn the Fleet are to man them."

We were prevented yesterday by the length of the
debate in the House of Lords from noticing the ar-
rival of a Bag from Anholt, with intelligence from
various pot ts of the Baltic. The accounts by this
fonveyance, as for wile ume ra,t, are of a gloomy
character, and mention a number of confiscations. Ac-
cording to one of the letters, three American vessels,
bound direct from the United States to Revd, had

been put under sequestration.
It has been it.timated that the Cron of St. Peters-,
burgh had acceded entirely to theContinentalSyAent, '
lend that in consequence orders were expected at the
ports et Russia for the soizitre and sale of British
Enerchaediv.e, and for the augmentation of the ditties
on Colonial produce. No such measures, however,
I ad been a..!ttpted at the time of the departure of tLe
letters from the Eastern Baltic.
The advices by the same opportunity from Frank-
. *ln arc to the Sd, and from Hamburgh to the' 13th
instant. At the former place the Decree of Ram-
bouitlet had not been canted into-execution with the
leverity that was expected ; but at the latter, seyenty
thousand pounds of yarn, worth about five shillings
per pound, had been publicly burnt.

The restrictions (m the sale of colonial produce are
triken off in Bavaria and throughout Switzerland.
• ,By a Decree published at Hamburgh, the colonial
ped:. seireti at sea-ports in the North of Europe, are
:15 be carried op' the country to Cologne, there to re-
.
em depli Wail final confiscation. ' ,
