Capt. FOSTER, who arrived hefelsst ey-
enng from Lisbon, sailed on the 18Th OF
March, informs, that on the 5lh the French
Army retrealed from S.Rtsrcm, lwherc
their head quarters lave been since Nov
and halle near the river Mondego on the
1lth. 1t was reported that Lord VEL
LIkcToN, following and watching the
French, was at Coimbrs on tine l2h. On
the 18Th an official account reached Lisbon
that Spanish and English force had enter
ed Seville, Spain.
The attack on Seville must have been
made by part Of the expedition from
Cddix, that was said to be destined a.
gsinst 81. Lncar, which is on the same
river as the first city.
Within 10 days Of Capt. F's sailing,
about 10000 additional British troops
arrived at Lisbon, and Immediately Join
ed the army. Numbers Of French pri-
soners were brought into Lisbon daily.
A letter from Lisbon, says, the Bri-
fish made 1900 French prisoners, Just
previous TO Massena's retreat.
The retreat of Massena created strong
hopes al Lisbon OF the speedy annihlIa-
ton of his army, and the confirmation
of the Liberty and Independence of
Porngai.
We were last night fasoured with c
Lisbon paper of March Ia, inclosed TO
a gentleman Of this town il conts aims
a column OF remarks On the retreat of
the French, in which is enumerated
the different projects of MasseHa,
which had been frustrated By Lord
Wellington.
The paper states, that it had been
extremely sickiy in The French camp,
there being many deaths daily; that
they had been nearly destitute Of pro-
visions, and had had so little forage for
the cavalry, that Of l4oOo horses bro't
into Portugal they had scarcely 5000
nj tor service /; that the loss to them Of
men, cavalry and equipPage had been
great.
