LONDON:

1111011111DAINt JULY 119, 11113.

A Malta and Lisboa Mail arrived thit morning ;
by the former we are concerned that our fears were
but 'too well founded as to the nature of the disorder
which so alarmingly broke out on that Island : the
mortality of it, however, as will be seen by the par•
titulars of its effects, has not beenso. great as might
have attended the usual ravages of a more pestilen-
tial disorder. '

The Lisbon intelligence, concerning the movement
of the pain army, mentions Lord WE/4,INOTON as
harlot' his bead-quarters et Gayeuta on the 11th in-
stant, and on the 12th advancing to Hunane, on
sehleh day the first parallel was opened before St.
Sebastian.r.
The Gioinale de Malta, of the nu Jude, con-
tains the following account of the progress of the
pegtilentiel disorder prevailing there during the
you'le of the preceding week :
" On the 9th June, died of the plague 24 persons,
and 2 i were taken ill, with suspicious symptoms.
6 On the 10th, 32 persons died, and 23 were
taken ill.

" On the 11th, 27 died, and 40 were taken
" On the 13th, the ttuqiber of those who' died
see the same, but fortunately only 14 were taken ill.
46 On the 1 Ith, 36 died, and 17 were taken ill.

46 Yesterday, the 15th, 19 died, and 15 were
taken ill. _

4 6 On the 19th of June, a Journal Extraordinary
was published, containing an account of the progress
of the disorder, from the 16th April, when it first
made its appearance, up to that time, and of the
measures and regulations adopted by the Magistrates
and Committee of Health, to prevent, as much as
possible, its spreading.
" It concludes as follows We may be permit-
ted; however, to make this short observation;—
con•idering that we inhabit a city of no great extent,
but overcharged with an immense population—con-
sidering also the extensive commerce there carried on,
the narrowness of some of the streets, and the close-
ness of the houses, in which the inhabitants are, as
it were, heaped one upon the other, it might well
have been expected that the plague would have caused
a much greater devastation on this island ; but,
notwithstanding its propagation is favoured by so
many circumstances, it appears that its progress has
been, in reality, blow and of little consequence.—
Since the 18th of April to the present day, we
reckon only 518 to have died of the plague ; a mor-
tality which, when compared with the vast popula-
tion of the place, cannot be considered as prodigi-
ous. The indefatigable cares of the Government and
the Committees of the Island have prevented it from
being greater."

Spanish troops, and was compelled to precipitately
retire from Calahona and Aldeaneuva to Tad**,
where it encamped on the 28th, at three P. M.; after
having set fire to the forts there, it marched with that
garrison in the direction of Saragossa, amounting in
all to about 10,000 infantry and 150 horse. •

We have expressed our belief throughout, that the
Armistice would be renewed. By our latest private
advices from the seat of negotiation, we have no
doubt but that it is prolonged for twenty days, dur-
ing which interval there is almost equal reason to be-
Here that the ground-work of a Congress will be
laid. Ministers, from their earlier and better in-
formation than our own, are, no doubt, in posses-
sion of this fact; but as it is in a great degree morti-
fying to their high spirit, and wounding to the
lofty tone they gave to the Speech of the REGENT,
they wish to conceal their humiliation. The vote of
the five millions of money by the Parliament, so freely
and unconditionally, has not produced the effect at
Vienna which it might be supposed capable of, at Ber-
lin) Petersburgh, and Stralsund. But the Ministers are
disposed to be silent upon this adverse event; yet
their devotees, knowing the secret must come out,
are deprecating the conduct of the Emperor of
AUSTRIA. They can speak of that Sovereign's
measures in the very language suitable to describe
those of their worthy patrons—they complain that
