BALTIMORE, October II.

The ship Dumfiies, captain Pratt, from
Lisbon (via Madeira) brings accounts to the
9Th September. No news from the Southern
armies in the Peninsula. Large reinforce.
men,s for the British continued to arrive at
Lisbon. The position Of the French army we
have not heard mentioned. But, as Lord
Welngton's head quarters were said to be at
Fuentes GuiIando, on the goth of August, the
former may have fallen back to receive their
reinforcements. Our previous accounts placed
the headquarters of the allies at Celerico.-
Fnentes Ginoldo (about 60 miles S. E. Of that
citv) is in Spanish Estramadura, near the
frontier of Portugal, aid 80 to 40 miles due
south of Ciudad Rodrigo This rapid advance
of Lord Wellington's headquarters into Spain
was not expected from former accounts but
he has been greatly strengthened by fresh
troops from, England, particularly of cavalry.
Markets at Lisbon glutted with American
produce, particularly corn and corn meal.
At Madeira, markets dull, Vintage short and
wine scarce.
Left at Lisbon, brig Lloyd, Davidson, for
Alexandria, Adeline, Stone, for do. 10 sail in
days.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Lis
bon, dated the sicth Of September last.
Fed. Rep.
Con the lst instant, by a return from the
corn market, the following articles (among
others) were for sale -
10000 barrels -four,
10000 bushels corn,
100000 bushels oats,
100000 bushels barley,
$4,000 barrels rye meal,
$4,000 barrels corn meal
Corn, corn meal & biscuit, of which there
is large quantity on hand, are almost unsafe
able at any price. The above articles are ex-
elusive of the army supplies which are very
abundant. Philadelphia -four is preferred to
any other, than that of n. York Alexandra,
and Baltimore, which last is in the worst re-
pute, as much of it has turned out very bad.
a difference of 81 Is per barrel had been
made between Philadelphia and Baltimore
-four in favor of the former. Prime N. York
beef has been selling at 50 per barrel
Salt is plenty at Sc so per moy, but the
dealers refuse to permit it to be measured "a
longside, observing that the boats are already
measured by the proper officer: they are
marked it is true, but falsely as the moy sell
dom holds out more than from 3 to IA BUSH
els, instead of "a bushels.
1t appears it is only Foreigners who are
thus imposed upon, as the Portuguese mer-
chants have their salt properly measured "a
longside, paying something additional
1t is particularly recommended to the mer-
chants trading to Portugal to be watchful that
no tobacco is secreted on board their vessels,
the law being very severe against its admlssl-
on, and the party discovered, made to suffer
its utmost rigor.

SuLtfi.ne Yellow Bark.
August 81.


THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly of
the cxtractive matter and reslnous portion OF
the bark, wherein its virtue as a medicine Is
known to reside, is separated in degree
from the hard hbrous and other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will, therefore, be
found preferable, on account OF Its purity,
strength. fncness, and the small quantity
REQUIRED, to any other form in which the
bark has hitherto been generally used.
The superiority Of this bark willbe partl-
cu,arlv manifest in the treatment of those
diseases in which, on account OF an irritable
state Of the stomach and bowels, the rcqui~
site quantity Of the imperfectIy ground bark
N common use cannot be administered and
as any of the watery or .spiritaous prepara-
tons are we'll known to be Intellectual in ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the present
orm will prove generally acceptable.
The proprietor thinks it unnecessary to
offer any apology to those Of his medical bre.
thren to whom he is personally known, when
he Recommends to them in particular this
elegant powder ofbark since many OF then,
have. in common with him, had so frequent
and painful occasion, in the course of long
practice, to deplore the want otso desirable

fearing the imputation ofimposition.
