The bulletins Continue to be favorable, and
some of the prints supposed 70 be Particular
Nv devoted to the interests OF his royal high
ness the prince regent, have prepared tie
pubic for the speedy resumption OF the res.I
authority by his rilaiesty. liz oar last we cav:
tha Latest intelligence which has ;et arrived
from Lisbon, as.t appeared Iii lhe Ordinary
London papers of the l2th Instant, which We
received exclusively on Saturday morning.
The London Gazette has Stree supplied us
with the official details of the military oi.er&-
tons of which the substance OILY had preyi-
ously transpired. 1t now appears that the
disaster which bcfel the array Of Romano,
WAS more serious than had bctuat first repre-
sented. General Me,.d!xabel who command
ed it, suffered himself to be surprised in,lils
camp, though most advaLtageous!y pitched,
and his troops defeated, it should seem without
a battle, were dispersed leaving ali their bag
gage and artillery IN possession c. the enemy.
The loss of the Spani;.rds in men Was buttii-
fling. and it is some satisfaction to learn that

unaccoulltablc want of vigilance Oh tao part OF
the Spanish Commander Notwithstanding
this advantage obtained by the enemy ne has
not been enabled to make any impression on

good troops, and abundantly supplied, was de-

Baltic towards the interior of Germany, and
that some negotiations OF al amic;solc krd
have lately taken place between the Court OF
Petcrsburgh and the Porte. 1t is also stated
by respectable authority that in consequence
OF advices received by Government from the
North, the preparations for the sailing OF the
Baltic feet, to the command of which Sir
James Saumrez has been appointed, have
been accelerated. Ii is to consist, 1t IS Said,
of Is sal! of the line. (.
Accounts from Vienna state, that the late
negotiations between France and Austria re-
lated to Dallnati,, which it is said, bonaparte
