NO BATTLE IS PORTUGAL.

The Princess' Charlotte packet arrived at ral.
mouth, from Lithon, on Friday last, after a ilase
saga of 10 day.. And yesterday, a messenger are
rived in- toirti,•beiagiag dispatches from Lord WEL.
LINGTON, Whit!! • COMO down. to the Ist Institut,
inclusive. They state, THAT NO BATTLE HAD.
netti Ire TUE IST INSTANT, AND THAT THE
ARMIES THIN CONTINUED IN TILE SPIE STATE AS

We do nut quarrel with a dispatch con.
taining so Mad matter. On the contrary, it is
perfectly satisfactory as far as explanation goes.
We only wish, that my Lord AVELLINGTON had
more frequently sent us accounts of what he was
doing, or nut doing, even if only to say—all is
well I, We Imre, however, a word or two to sm. y,
to The Times, and Morning Post, severally,
respecting their comment. on this intelligencr. The
Times says-4' ilere is of course, therefore,' no
room for expansion Upon
.a subject so me.
Mcntons, but yet so devoid of itteideot.o_
void of incident', IVhat ! is it no incident, that
thousands who were driven into Usbon, ace shut

moved, Out is it no incident either, that the met..
chants and others of your opulent friends (we will
now forget the starving multitude), whom you have
detained in Lisbon by your fallacies, your pro Mises
of fighting and beating the enemy, or of keeping
him fer of by your strong positions, backed by,
military skill, want now to retire from Lisboa, and
their homes, to avoid an enrages' may, whom you
have enticed there, and cersook;Ses went of ship,
ping? Is it no incident that .444sittea is not
starsedt has not asked leave te..caPitulate, ises
reinforcements marching to enable hies the inert
surely to execute his purpose, and is in a con-
dition to wait for them, hemming in the
allied army in sits position, from which it cannot
move but by flight ? •Is it no incident, that my
Lord WELLINGTON may be on the eve of starving,
while brAsserrA can still eat ? And, finally, is it
no incident that the fate of one nation (not.of two, as
The Times says, may be the case, far Franco no more
depends on the fate of that battle than upon the
moon) may be determined by this eventful position
of my Lord WELLINGTON) and that the nation in
danger is England ? Why l if ono wished for loci.
dents, here are enough of them ! But The Times
says, IVIAISELTA has not attempted to execute the
purpose for which ha advanced. No I nor will lie,
till be is pretty sure of executing it ; and your sys-
tem of resting positions invites bim also to do things
with leisure, You are resting within your position,
and he is resting without. Is there any cause .of
triumph in that ?-0h ! but 7'he Morning Post
says, my Lord WELI4NOTON continues to present
a bold formidable front to the enemy ; and this
is to add to the triumph of the WELLESLEY system,
And are wo come to these straws, to save us from
drowning, at last. After all the promises.to bring,
us safe into habour, in sound and good vessels, are
we left to float as the winds may chola, .on straws
gathered up by the friends of the WiLcasczys ?

We this day received the following:letter from
Plymouth :
•• PLYMOUTH, Nov. la.

" An express was received last night from Fel.
mouth, giving an account of the arrival, at that
port, of the Princess Charlotte packet,. Captain
KERR, with a Mail from ',Mon, after a passage of
10 days, by which it is learnt that no action had
taken place when the packet left the Tagus, but
the armies remained iu nearly the same positions ;
and it was reported that MASSENA was much dis.
tressed for provision.. The reports which we I►are
rveliedfram Corunna must, therefore, be entirely
void of truth.

" It appears that on Thursday night last, off-the
Lizard, the Princess Charlotte fell in with a French
schooner privateer, which she beat off after a most
gallant action, and saved the Mail ; in which Cap-
tain KERR, his Mate, and two seamen, were slightly
wounded; but a Mr. M'Coomae, a passenger, was
killed, and two seamen severely wounded.
" A frigate is stated to have passed up Channel
this morning from Lisbon, supposed with dis.
patches.
" By 04e transport before mentioned from Gib-
raltar, the accounts of an infectious disader having
spread amongst the Crows of the ships there, is alto-
gether contradicted. There was a slight sickness
on board two or three vessels which were on the
quarantine ground, but the remainder, together
with the garrison, were healthy.
" The Dryad frigate brings an account that
the expedition from Comma, under Commodore
`AIENDs, had captured Gijon) and took large plun.
der from the enemy. •
"A neutral vessel arrived yesterday from France,
with iota and flour, the Master ofilhich states, that
„
DONAPARTZ was assembling an are of '300,000
men to march into Spain, for which Viipose an im-
pressment had taken place, which was etecited with
rigour. This vessel brought over a ficense, sigAed
by BON*PA LIT; about 14 days since, for the im.
portation of a cargo."

By a Gonne:llan who bus just arrived from Heli-
goland, re learn, that the Commanding gffieer on
that Station, in the Horatio frigate, with six Of
;eight gue.buati, and 400 men, were proceeding
to Nieuwark, to make an attack upon the French,.
who were collecting in that island. The comma-
cation' with the Ems, Weser, and Elbe, was de-
stroyed by the gtsts-bl+-bro,sght by the enemy
from the interior, and ranged at the months a those
rivers. There were between .70 and 80 In the Elbe
only. The merchandise on the ;bland had been
carried to the top of the rock, and the inhabitants;
were under no apprehension' :of .tholestation:

It is conceived that the letter of the Duke of

fectly conclusive as to their revocation, and it il
