LISBON, JULY 13.—We have no authentic in, telliF.-,enCe from our army in Gallicia, subsequent to the last official dispatch. of the Earl of Wellington, in which he announced the cOnquest of Salamanca. This brilliant action, performthl in the presence of Manumit, at the head.of considerable forces, is one of the many which immortalize the great W-llington, cover his army with glory, and with admiration even the enemy who witnesses them. By it he has reitored to honour, life, and liberty, the unfortunate; inhabitants 'of that city, who groaned under the most severe oppression. Public reasons dos not allow us to analyse these and other advantages which may be expected from the future operations of the allied army in Spain ; we cannot-, however, avoid noticing, that fortune abandons the French arms whenever they come in contact with the allied legions, directed by the military genius of Great Britain.  OPORTO, Jvi.Y 18.—Our last accounts from the army are to the 10th. Every thing remained as can the Bth. On the Bth a French picquet, consisting of 25 men, were made prisoners by Don Julian's troops. General' Hill's arrnys'tationed in Llerena arkd Villa Gircia. Drouet has retired to Cordova. General Sir Thomas Grahani and Staff proceed to England in the Dotterel brig of war; the*General returns in consequence °tithe had state of his eyes. •  A letter from Stockholm says—" Four Swedish men of war have sailed for Dchroe, to convoy 25,000 men ; but, of course, it iS ached, their destination is not known."  Notice has been given from the Post Office, that in future the packets between-Great Britain and Sweden,..instead,of proceeding to Anholt, or any ,neutral territory, will clear out for Gottenburgh, as usual, when perfect tranquility -übsists between the, two countries.  Several persons who were suspected of having assisted General Philippon in his escape, have been apprehended, and underwent a private examination yesterday., at the Bow-street Office, and were remanded to-prison for further examination. It appeared froin the -evidence of one of these men, that a scheme hadbeen laid for entrapping Gen. SARIN,Wh o was to have been invited to an entertainmeat, and-then seized and gagged, and carried to the coast, in order to be transported to the French shore. The perpetrators were to have had a reward of 50001. sterling for this base business, which was only frustrated by the, apprehension of .one of the parties, that General SARRAZID; would be executed on. his arrival in France, and to that conscientious scruple he is now, perhaps, in for his existence.  It is a.-circumstance not a little remarkable, that Lorezzzo,_the assassin of the Count and ComAess D'ANTRAIGUES, was the intimate friend'of Sellis, who, after attempting to assassinate the Duke of CUMBERLAND, committed suicide. The Board of Agriculture has'adjuOged a pre:tniuni of 30.eguineas, in a Tece of plate, with an appropriate inscription, to the Rev. JAMESWILLISi of Sopley, near Ringwood, Rants, for his monoir on "the hest and surest means of enabling this kingdom to _supply itself with bread corn, as to cut off all the_ necessity or expediency of importing foreign grain. -Lincolnshire Snokes.—On Tuesday last six hundred snakes were destroyed at Roltham, near Lincoln. They were nestled in some Chi manure, lying.on One of the fields: The parish, according to immemorial custom, gave a•hallpenny for each of the -old snakes, and a farthing for every young one.
