only what they carried in their knapsacks;
the distance from Fog de Aroace to Al
media being "a long Portuguese leagues.
Many Wagons of provisions have set out
for Figueira and Coimbra and admitting
that at Beira Alta there is great scarcity OF
provisions, yet with the whole of Coimbra,
and of Fog Dao on one side, and the banks of
the Douro on the other, it will not be very
difficult to supply our army.
The province of Estramadura was totally
exhausted, and completely ruined by the rob
berries, CONGREGATIONS, murders, and thou
sand other barblrities committed by those
cruel invaders; we hope for accurate intelli-
gence on that head, that Europe and posteri-
ty may be correctly informed efthe atrocious
conduct ofthis degenerate race of men, who,
like the Volce, appear DESTROYS to reduce
every thing to primitive chaos some Portu-
guese miscreants, who remained in their
habtations, for the purpose of aiding the
French, contributed most to the ruin of their
fellow-citizens. But the towns on the banks
of the Tagus, such as Sansarem, Thomar,
&c. are now sufficiently inhabited and suppl
ed-there are now shops in them, and even
m arkets of wheat, corn, &c. established
The former however is very much laid waste.
The central country, such as Leira, and the
whole of what is called the new road, which
cannot SO easily be supplied by water, are less
speedily organized and provided but tie en-
ergetic measures, which our government has
taken, the laborous habits of the Portuguese
and the zeal ofthe Parish priests, ofthe Min
isters of the Physicians, and of all the public
fnnctionaries especially in time of general ca
lamity, give us the most fiattering hopes that
the wounds of our country will shortly be
healed She is free--we are not slaves and
that consideration overpowers and effaces eve
ry other from our minds.

CAPTURE ef Marshal NE7, and 5000
= Of the FRENCH ARM.
Government have received the highly
gratifying intelligence of the capture and
destruction of the whole of the rear guard
of the French army under the command OF
Marshal Ney, who is himself among the
prisoners. The action which terminated
in this glorious achievement, took place on
the 3lst ut and was fought by the British
and Portuguese troops, under the com
rnand of Marshal Beresford. The French
rear guard, under Ney, originally con-
sisted of Is, 900 men, but by the previous
captures and skirmishes, had been reduced
to 5000, being the number taken on the
glorious S1st of March.
Marshal Beresford had co-operated in
so mastery manner with Lord Yelling
toms army, that Ney found it impossible
any longer TO continue his retreat, and
was therefore cut off from the main body.
The above intelligence was brought to
Guernsey by merchant vessel, and trans
mitted from thence to government by AID.
mrsl the Prince de Bouillon, the British
naval commander on the Guernsey station.
No doubts whatever as to the CORRECTNESS
OF the news, are entertained in the govern
mens departments. The vicinity of Opor.
to to the scene of action, is an additional
confederation of the statement.
