LATE FROM LISBON.

The various reports of the success of the
English general Hill, is now confirmed, by
his own official letter to lord Wellington, dat
ed Meridian, Oct. 80, and published in a Lis
bon paper of the 18th ultimo, received yester-
day BY the ship Canton in 80 days from Lisbon.
The substance of which is,
That the French were taken by surprizs,
on their retreat towards Meridan-That they
were followed up by Major General How
ard, and in every attempt to oppose, were as
often put to flight. That the 18th Light
Dragons took possession Immediately of the
enemy's artillery the Sd regiment hussars
and the 9th light dragons made most cou
rageous charge the last commanded by cap
tain Gore and the whole by Major Bussche.
/ should however have previously mentioned
that the British cavalry were delayed for some
time, in consequence of the darkness of the
night and badness of the roads; the Spanish
cavalry, commanded by the Count Villa Muir,
was the first that engaged with the enemy on
this occasion, till the British came up. The
enemy at this time were In full retreat, but the
column under Major General Howard having
gained the position which had been determine
ed upon, enclosed the enemy on every side,
and left them no alternative but to surrender
or dispense through the mountains. Prefer
ring the latter they were closely pursued by
the 2sth and Saith infantry regiments, whilst
they were surrounded by the seth Portuguese
regiment commanded by Col. Ashworth, who
encircled the mountain by the road to Truxi-
10, to turn the flank; and at the same time
the infantry of Brig. Gen. Morillo followed
at some distance on the left with the same
intention. The enemy's troops were, as may
be imagined, panic struck. The cavalry fly
ing attempted to escape; Gen. Howard max
ing prisoners at every pass but his men be-
ing few in number and much fatigued, he was
obliged to halt in order to secure the enemy
that had fallen into his hands and leave the
pursuit to the Spanish infantry under General
Morillo.
Since writing the dispatches, more prison
ers have been made the number taken will
undoubtedly amount to l3 or l4oo Gen.
Morilio has returned from pursuing the flu
gtives. He affirms that besides the killed, he
found in the mountains 900 wounded
The French General Giraud escaped in the
direction of Sierra, with about 2 or 800 men,
many without arms. 1t is said that he and
his ad jutant are both wounded.

We arc indebted to captain Pigot, from AL
geziras, for the subsequent translations -
The French troops entered st. Rogue on
the l4th of October, 1911, with view OF cut
ting off the Spanish division under the COM
nand of general Ballestero., who, with his
usual activity and ability, frustrated the enc
my's plan by retiring to the lines OF Glbral-
tar.
The French forces are estimated at about
10000 men, whereof 1000 are cavalry they
entered ST. Rogue in three divisions, COM
manded by general Burrois, brlgadier gent
Lescasagne, general Semele, and the general
of division Godinot.
Their Positions---General Godinot, Saint
Rogue and the country about it; general Sc
mele on the 9th passed BaIrios to the fields
of Tarifa and general Burrois followed on
the 18th.
On the 2lst October the enemy retired
Semele's division from Tarifa to Medina that
of Burrois from Barrios by Ximena and Go
dinot followed the same route. On the 10th
at quarter before 4 in the afternoon, general
Semele appeared on the heights of the Ala
rides, and his dragons pursued the patriots,
who were retiring through the Straits of Al
geziras to the road of Tarifa. At half past
five they retired without having done any inju-
ry whatever, although St. Rogue and Barrios
suffered severely.

CHARLESTON, December l6.

Nm Earthquake This morning, alta few
minutes before three O'Clock, severe shock
of an Earthquake was felt IN this city. It's du-
ration is supposed to have been between f7uo
and hree minutes. For an hour previous,
though the air was perfectly calm, and seve-
raj st,rs visible, there was at intervals OF about
FIVE minutes, ruUbling noise, resembling
distant thunder; which increased in violence
of sound, Just before the shock was felt. The
vibration Of St. Philips stceple, caused the
clock bell to ring about ten seconds. Two
other shocks were felt this morning, one
little before eight O'Clock, and the other ten
minutes after that hour both siighter than
the, first, and of shorter duration: the vlbra-
ton Of the second lasted probably rather more
than minute; and of the last two or three
seconds. Many of the clocks were stopped
and the water in the different wells was much
aeifated. We have not heard of any damage
having been done by these repeated shocks
nor have we heard how far they have extend
ed into the country except that they were
| felt at Rantowle's.
