LISBON PAPERS.

Lisps, Sri. 13.—Dreadful disputes have ariren
betweep the French leaders. Soult directed Sue,*
to make tome movements ; Joseph seconded St,.:!•N
orders but Sachet flatly refused, saying he wu..
only obey the Emperor.

tants of Malaga were delivered from the French.
According to the latest letters from Seville, Soult
was marching by Baza, in the kingdom of Jaen, for
Granada.
We learn by private letters, that flea. Hill on the
3d inst. had united the greater pa't of the limy in
Serena (to the north of the Sierra Mareu4).
It is said, that Joseph Bonapare was in Chin.
chilla (in Murcia), and expected to join Souks who
was marching in the direction of granede.
LISBON, Sao?. 9.—While our attention is directed
1-to the retreat of Soult, It becomes interesting to
know the names of the principal Chiefs Roder him,
aad-the organisation and amount of his force.
By the abeence of Victor and Mortier, the two

and this that Marshal is in the Command of three
corps, which, however, scarcely complete one. The
Ist corps is composed of three divisions, and cern,
waded by the General pf Division Vitiate, who di,
rested the siege of Cadia ; the lit division was under
the command of General Comore, who had under

this corps the cavalry of Brigadier Eannemain, the
artillery of Brigadier Abarilie, the engineers and
sappers of Brigasiler Gerbert, and the marines of
Colonel Cerieax, This corps * been latterly re.
duoed to about Ilioop man.'

The 4th corps in name, and the 2d in order, WO
commended in chief by General Laval, and charged

with keeping up the communication with Suchett

Rey; the former rendered unfit for active lieffiCe
since the wounds he received # Albuera; the 2d, the
wont General of &mit, always beaten by Rallasteros,
commanded the moveable column of the Serranea of
Ronda; there likewise belonged to these corps the
cavalry attached to General 14'Allernand's division,
and Colonel Bonehe's artillery. This corps was the
weakest, scarcely amounting to 700 Q men:
The sth corps (or 3d in order) was commanded in
chief by Drouet, General of Division, and composed
of two divisions • the IK, commanded by Brigadier
Baron St. Poi; the 2d, by the GetiPral of Brigade
Darricand, having under his orders Colonel Aaron-
goe, and Brigadier 13,tehe's cavalry, which was for-
' merly commanded by General lotour Maubonrg,
now in Russian Poland; Brigadier Run's artillery,
which suffered greatly in the reconquest of iladajos;
Red's engineers, the greater part of whom were
killed In Badajos; and, lastly, Colonel l),tmoyer's
marines. This corps was the strongest, and pro-
lbably now may be reduced to about 15 or 16,000
-men. From this it is coneinded, thet on the 536th or
27th of August, Sonit would itisre a force of from 34
to 35,000 men, purely French, without including
snore than 2000 Juramentados, who by this time must
have abandoned him, and the civic Guards of Cor-
dova and Cannot*, whom the French themselves will
have dlaarieedt
Limiest, San. B.—We have received the Madrid
Casette of the 27th of August; the following is the
Iprincipal article It contains
" Corral d'Aimageer (in the road from Aranjaer
to Ifalaseis), Aug. W
sr On the 16th instant, at ten in the morning, ar-
rived at this place General d'Ansaguac, with 12,000
men, escorting a large convoy, which consisted of
5000 carriages. The disorder and want of discipline
in these troops are inconceivable. The soldiers be-
longing to the different corps march indiscriminately
mixed, and in the greatest disorder; and do not
even know their respective Chiefs, or own General.
The following fact will give an idea of their disunion
and discontent. On the read from Villa, the dra-
goons attacked the eentiaels and guards of Nassau's
division; the latter formed in order of battle, and
fought the cavalry for two !marl, suffering a loss of
five killed and 36 wounded. Generate' Nassau a

and other Generals, were obliged to mount on horse-
, back to appease this tumult. Two pistols were fired
upon D'Artnagnac's Major, as *ere two upon
O'Farrell„ to whom, besides, insulting language
was addressed. Perez de la Castellani also received
a *bet. The Chiefs at last aucceeded in qaietin g the
troops, and ordered the cavalry to encamp a
league and a half distance.
The city suffered, the consequence' of the most
horrible sack ; the sanctuaries were broken open,
nod the holy vessels mien ; the images of the
churches mutilated ; the convents rained, and the
nail ill-treated; in short, the unhappy inhabitants
reaseined quite nated.”
