LIsEoN, Sett. so.
The arrest of the Spanish general Gar
rosa, took place at St. Amero, on the might
of the 26th inst. St. Amero is a. suburb Of
Lisbon, and about as far from the CRY as it
is from Tenpie-bar to the middle OF Ficca-
dilly, and il SO happens that resideiat the
house OF an Enslistlraan, which is next door
TO that in which general Garosa was con-
cealed. This nan betrayed the Spanish
troops which were in the r4ighborhood OF
Lisbon when the revolution in their own
country commenced. Under false pretences
he made them march TO a position, where,
by a previous concert with junot, they were
surrounded by French troops, and coupsil-
ed to lay down their arms. They Were sllcn
hurried into boats, and imprisoned in the
hulks on the river, where they remained an
til our troops took possession oil Lisbon.
1t is generally said thar the traitor was dis
covered by a waterman lie one Of ths men
who are employed to carry water from the
fountains IN order to supply the ho,ls~s) but
i have been assured that it was Por,u-
guese who lived in the same house that IN
formed against him. As soon as his retreat
was discovered, two troops Of cavalry, and
two companies Of infantry, were Sent to
surround his residence, and to keep off the
enraged spania:.ds, who otherwise would
have torn him in pieces, and the Portuguese,
who threatened to pull down the house.
Perfect order was, however, preserved by
our troops. Garrosa, | understand, is an
Italian BY birth he is very uuch indisposrd
to-day, and, it is said, he has swallowed
poison.
