Tug next advices from Portugal will probably
announce the surrender of Ciudad Ilodrigo., As
it was understood to be the determination of Lord
WELLINGTON nut to advance to its relief, its de.
fence,woult consequently depend on the strength
the works, and the valour and persevecagro of
the garrisun.

It is stated, that a Proclamation bad been is.
sued and placarded in all the conspicuous situations
n Oporto and Lisbon, commanding, that all
males, not in a state of debility from infancy, or
old age, should proceed immediately to the head-
quarters of the Portuguese army, to be Wore in.
spected, and appointed to the duty that they should
be competent to discharge. No profession or oc-
cupation was exempted, and manufacturers, and
even sailors, were required to pay obedience to this
mandate.

PAPERS from the United Stabs have been re.
ccired of the 19th ult. from which we have ex-
tracted some interesting correspondence between
the Marquis WELLESLEY and Mr. PI MENET, and
between General ARMSTRONG and Mr. Secretary
have letters from New York one day
later, mentioning that the Executive Government
will require the assistance of Congress, and that
either the embargo must be renewed, or a strict
system of non-intercourse be adopted. It is al-
leged, that it is impossible to bring the belligerent
Powers of Great Britain and France to any and..
cable acgociation, and that, therefore, it will be
expedient to spew them the imperious necessity of
such an arrangement, by depriving them of the
produce of the Republican territories.

WE understand there was yesterday a Meeting
of the principal Merchants and Bankers of the
City, and the Bank Directors ; and there was
also, we understand, a conference with the CUAN•
cet.Lost of the EXCHEQUER, the result of which
is, that an advance will bo given to houses in the
s.otne way as was practised on the former occasions
of distress.

A letter from Corunna, of the sth inst. men-
tions, that on the festival of St. Jowl*, a ball
was given its honour of the Usurper by the French
Officers in Santander, and that to this ceremony
were invited all the young ladies in the neigh-
bourhood. Some of them, it seems, did not
think fit to appear, and among these were three
English women. All the absentees were fined in
the sum of 4800 rs. or about 481. sterling. A
young lady, to whose brother we aro indebted fur
this information, was required to pay the same
amoonii not becauce she did tint attend, but for
appearing in the circle at too late an hour.
Sweden is divided and distracted'by a multitude
of !movies. The Russian party has been, till
lately, prevalent. The succession to the Crown
has given rise to parties in favour of Denmark, in
favour of the son of GURTAVUS, and of Gown-
yes 'himself. The party in favour of the son of
GurrAvus is considerable, end comprehends some
of the leading men in Sweden. There. is a patty
in thsintorist of Denmark *Lich is considerable,
particularly as it is supposed to be backed by that
of France, which is the most numerous of all. It
is probable that BONAPARTE Will endeavour, by
some manccuvre, to join the power
,anti induetice
of Sweden with that of Denmark, and thus to erect
a rival power against that of Russia, itisteid of
leaving the North, as hitherto, divided into seve.
rat minor States, dependant upon that predominant
isirereigoty. Time small party still attached to that
lunfortunate Monarch GusTvc., boasts of no per-

On Tuesday the tlisiress of the money-market
was aggravated by the. 'very unseasonable" absence
of a part of the Directors of the Bank, by whom a
degree of relief might have been afforded, upon
terms perfectly safe fur themselves. It is said, for
instance, that 100,0001. of Eschapier Bills were
offered to them at p.ir, which in former times they
had -always been in the hahit of taking in ; but
they were-refused, and sent back on the market.
Now 100,0001. of B ink-notes, in that moment,
would have been a seusible ease, and why the Di.
rectors did not grant the indulgence, we know not,
Oleo the present scheme is—to 'save by temporary
expedients !
