intercourse with your states will resume

the American vessels and cargoes in Spain,
under seizure of Bonaparte's DEGREES, have
been liberated; and the English permit A

"The British forces under the command
of Sir Arthur Welleslev, consisting of TO-
600 men, have landed at Lisbon; and it is
daily expected that Gen. Juuot will be at.

troops that were here (about 900 under
