In the town had permission of the Governor
To depart. On his arrival at the English
lines, he was searched, and there was
found, sewed up in the collar of his coat, a
small note directed to the French Gen.
Soult, informing him that the garrison had
only ten days ammunition left. The writer
adds, that IN consequence of this informal
ton, it was thought that the Governor OF
Badajoz would not stand an assault, but that
If he did, it would cost number Of lives. liz

Disturbance az ShcGfeid.-Itis with ex-
treme regret that we communicate TO our
readers, another of these instances in which,
a misguided populace commit acts of out
rage, thus aggravating the evil which thew
would remove or alleviate. The following
Letter was received tbs morning by one f
the first Sheffield houses in the city. 1t is
written in pencil, the reason of which will
be found stated in the letter itself-The
fSheffield paper of the same date as the let
ter is totally silent upon the subject ; but
this is accounted for by the circumstance Of
the paper, though dated and published on
the 18th, being printed and made up for pub
LEGATION Che day before.

"Since Wednesday evening the town has
been peaceable and free from alarm but
the more eflectually to preserve good order,
and prevent the renewal of the shameful
conduct of Wednesday, the constabes sent
a circular letter (of which the following is a.
copy to every publican in the town:
