On Saturday, Government received

3d inst. DROUET has joined MAISENAs With Wei
reinforcements and plenty of provisions, he.—
fie is to be followed, 'it 'ie itaid,• by GAGOstli.
SE'S division ; and that -by • third, consist.
ing of Artillery the whole 'amounting t*
,twenty-two thousand men. We have given.
ortracts from the Papers; and among them a dia.
patch from Lord WELLINGTON to the Portuguese
Government. Upon the whole of these documents,
&c. a great deal might be said; but we shall only
observe now, that Lord WSI.LINGTON remains
where he was, not thinking it prudent to attack the
French; and that the latter pre at liberty (se we,
stated they would be) to receive reinforcements
and supplies, and prepare and attempt any
operation they may thitik 'proper to adopt.—
Lord WELLINGTON is espected to fall beak
to his old position, as appears by oriters issued by.
the Portuguese Government to the proper oaken, I.
collect and bring in, within the lines dike old posi.
lion, all provisions, straw, gm tbAlmay be found io
MASSENA'S late lines, *reigning ass reason, that the
French may return tip their old position !«.41nd
toy Lord WeLitsirrow has this meatkablepessege
in his dispatch to the Purtaguese GroVernment (not in
opr Casette, nor even in the Ministers' ftstletin):
" The French army may be reinforced, and he
may once more be induced to return to the some
position, in the present state of the Peninsula."...
Our Readers may do us the favour to recollect,
, what we said op those topics.)'

A Ministerial Piper of Saturday evening, ant-
tains the following paragraph relative to the sr.
rangemeat of the new Government, its the event of a
Regency being appointed :—." The Regency will
be aviiimileted to that of 1789, as tar as circus°.
, stances will permit; but the Bin will contain :a
Iclause, giving authority to ropes', &Wry or emend.

rand loyalty, which has distinguished his abets coo.
1 duct la Mt bertilleSe, has signified his graoions plea:,
ante to continue the present Ministers in office, with
. the exception of introducing 'one Member only Into
the Cabinet.- The Casi of Monk is the person'
named on this tmeasieu; and it is supposed he will
hold a high oface..in the military' department. The
present system 'of Administration will be continued,
unless circumstances require a change. This arrange:
ment, which icentirely calculated for the gratifica.

coverylwill tio ennAnued -till the probability of that
event can be ;decided epon, 'inlets circumstances I

%Ire heard this mina report more than a fortnight
since ; but gave it no credit. We should hare on
, doubt of the purity of his RO VAL HMII 11 1141'
motives, if he should accede to any other 'Sr:
rangernent, than that of being sole and unfettered
REGENT. But NC cannot believe his ROYAL Ui.n
NESs would make so dangerous an experiment as
that stated in the above paragraph. Press of mat.
