LATEST FROM LISBON.

Yesterday arrived the brig Julian, Capt.
Williams, 10 days from Lisbon. The French
had not made any movements towards Lisbon.
Sir David Baird had Just arrived with 1000
troops from England, which encreased the
British forces OH that station to 25,O00--the
Portuguese army was $4,000 strong, well e.
quipped, and in high spirits.-The combined
forces had got possession of all the heights
and passes for 25 miles round, completely
fortified, and were determined to make a
stand against the French, if they approached
Capt. w. confirms the report eff the capture
Of Vigo by the English.-Also, the capture
Of Oporto by the French After the surrcn-
der of .Oporto, it was given up to the troops
for plumber. during three days, wherein the
most horrid excuses were committed.
The accounts from Spain were contradicto-
ry and but little dependence relied on them.
Erfrcct ofa Letter from Lisbon, dated .1fril
%, 1909.
Our political situation seems to be
strengthening daily, as reinforcements arc ar
irving, and no means spared to defend this
place; the enemy seems shy of making adj
vances, which is descriptive of weakness i'm
numbers on his part. The rise or fall in val
Tie of produce from your country materially
depends upon the turn of army affairs"
.fnother extract Of the same date. :
Trade promises assuming great degree
Of activity in this port, if the French are kept
out of the country, which we have now great
hope of, as we have had important reinforce
ments from England"

lit is but a very few days since these same
7 idcntitaf men made the " welkin ring" with
dcnunciations against him for being under
" French influence" being "a /" citizen Of
France SC. These falsehoo6s were harm
less then, and will continue SO how. The
exalted fame of Mr.. Madison is not to be
destroyed by such flimsy articles. Repub-
iicans need give themselves no uncasiness a.
bout such spurious allegations. Mr. M is
now the same consistent republican and
friend to his country that he was whilst se-
cretary of state, and ever was. Most hearth
ly we wish the federalists generally were such
ones rs Mr.. Madison is. We should then
command more foreign respect, and be less
convulsed with domestick treason.

We copied in our paper of May %, from
the Boston Pailadiun, the death of Miss
CLARK, at Dedham, Mass. The Ihiiudinss
of May 80, contains the following communi-
cation:--
Having noticed in your paper hast week,
the death of young woman Of the name OF
Clark and her infant child, who were placed
at DGdham twelve month since, by gen.
tleman, and left I" unprotected and deserted"
The writer of this hasbeen prompted by mo-
tives of humanity to make some enquiry re-
lativc to the subjest and is induced to believe
the whole proceeding one of those IRE in
stances of depravity seldom, if ever, equalled
irrthis country. Her friends having been
kept ignorant of her fate, (ti!l very lately a
scncc Of justice to their feelings ought TO
impel the gentleman who has SO long kept
her concealed, to give them every informa-
ton respecting her. He is invited to do it,
and is assured unless he comes forward, and
ntakes the explanation required, the most
rigorous measures will be pursued to hold his
name up to publick indignation andcontempt,
and bring his abettors at Dedham to tho pun
ishmcnt they deserve, for being acce ssary to
his cripinal purposes.

ANECDoTE.

Every one must allow, that, notwlth.
standing the extreme modesty of the amla-
bic Thomson, thar poet understood, and
must have felt, all the force of the tender
passion. The following anecdote gives US
reason to believe that he drew the charming
portal, OF Mxsidora from nature-and in
deed from whence could ne draw such an
Enchanting picture, but from the source of
perfection Thomson was on a visit to
friend, with whom at the same time lived
a levely young female relation. The poets
bed-chamber was immediately above that of
the young lady, circumstance which it
seems, Thomson was some how or other
appraised of. The son of Apollo soon found
means to peiforate the floor of his room.
and through this ,ori6ce nightly admired the
loveliest of natures works, drank deep
thoughts of inspiration, and, we cannot
doubt, raised his pious thoughts from the
contemplation of g Natures works, up to
Natures Cod"
One night as the unsuspicious nymph
was undressing, she heard an UNUSUAL noise,
and desired her maid to find out the cause.

drowsy god. 70 drop anegory-he was

From the extensive coast of the Pennsu-
la, vessels arrive almost daily. From Gil
ion we learn that Asturias and Gallacia, en-
Joy a temporary tranquility by the absence
of the enemy. From Portugal, We lament
to say, letters concur in stating, that by the
sword, by famine, and by disease, that ar
my which left England in such gallant gay
array, is reduced to fewer than II 900 effec-
tive men. 1t is now Impossible to doubt
the evacuation of country which has been
the grave of two Of the finest armies that
ever left the British shores.
From Wacheren the adyices are if pos
sible, still less favorable. Disease is conf
IDENTITY asserted to resist the utmost Of edi-
cal science and practical skill, in that me-
phetic swamp. Whilst our force is thus
hourly diminishing in that deadly place,
Napoleon is making rigorous preparations
to attack the Island. Ofinquiry into the
causes of the failure of the Antwerp expedi-
ton, we now hear not one word. The late
commander has a seat in the council board,
and is understood to enjoy the especial ia
vor and protection Of his majesty, who as
report says, is satisfied with the written
statement of thas noble commander. Whe-
Their his majesty has also received that of
! the gallant sir Richard S.rachan, we know
not. In many Cases, to nave the last word
is highly important but it may be appre-
hended, that 10 the present instance the first
word, like the first blow in battle has the
best chance.
