FROM LISBON


BY the arrival of Captain Rowland, from
Lisbon, who left there on the Sd of June,
we learn, that success still attended the eff
forts OF the Portuguese, Spaniards and En-
glish, against the French. Portugal had
got rid OF the invaders, and the greater part
of Soult's army had been DESTROYED or ia
ken prisoners. 1t was rumored the general
was among the prisoners
The patriots Of Bilboa were stated to have
risen on the French garrison at that place,
subdued them and recovered their liberty I;
and there was rumor of a rising at Corun
ma against the French. The French had
made shew OF advancing, on The south OF
Lisbon, but had retreated again
Reinforcements of troops continued to ar
rive at Lisbon almost daily from England.
Al soldiers who were in health were march
ed othe frontiers, and garrison duty was
performed by invalids
report Of the taking Of Ferrol, is suppo-
sed to be founded on the capture of Vigo,
some time since. Captain Rowland favor
ed us with Lisbon papers to May 30th. A
paper OF June 2, was given to a vessel at

Last evening arrived captain Mafiit, from

treaty of alliance, was concluded between
England and Russia, from whence it is con-
Guided the Russians will take part against
France. II was further said, that after the
first defeats of the Austrians, Bonaparte adj
vanced towards Vienna, and when within
SO leagues of it, was attacked by the Austri-
ans, who in turn, obliged the French to re
treat.
b Captain M. further says, that Marshal
Wellesley, having Incorporated the English
and Portuguese troops, by putting them by
companies alternately, to make up his regi-
ments, marched to Oporto, and demanded
the surrender of the town, which Soult OBJ
stinatciy and peremptorily refused, when
Wellesley prepared for an assault, which
Soult perceiviug, fed from the town and
crossed the river on bridge of boats. which
was prepared to be blown up as snon as he
had crossed. but by sorre mistakeor accident,
fire was put to the train and blew up about
1000 az the rear of the French army. and 500
OF the citizens who were taking their fiisht
with the Preach. Souit and the remainder
made their escape. rs the English could not
cross the river for some time.
