when a fit of phrenfy or what we call mutiny feized them, and they rushed in one bo dy from their pofts and murdered several of ficers. The unhappy wretches were furrounded by a fuperior force, tried for their offence, and many of them fhot. The affembly of Jamaica has very wifely petitioned the governor for the removal of the black corps out of the island. At any rate it should not be permitted to receive any but those who were born in the Weft Indies.-In the Brazils the prince of Portugal is very happily fettled, and a confiderable trade is opened between that country and England. He has iffued a manifefto against the French. vindicating his conduct, and abufing the emperor. It conveys no new facts, and can not excite much intereft. Among the dinners given to the Spanish deputies in town, one was made by the merchants. At this fir Francis Baring prefided, and toafts were given fuited to the occafion. O courfe the fovereigns of the friendly powers took the lead, and the healths even of the kings of Sweden and Sicicily were received with very great applaufe; but that of the prefident of the united states of America was marked by hiffes and groans and other fpecimens of dilapprobation. Sir Francis Baring has justified himself in giving this health, in a letter in the public papers, on the plea that the occafion required that the health of the friendly powers fhould be given; but we with that he had added, that no one fovereign, whole health had been drunk, was more entitled to it, than the prefident of the united states: for, if the fame infults had been offered on our coafts by his veffels that the Americans have received from ours on their coafts, our return would have been very different. In the difficult crifis, in which he has been at the helm of governinent, he has conducted himself with wifdom and fortitude, which will excite the admiration of pofterity. LONDON, Sept. 4. YESTERDAY gave rife to feveral interefting reports, which we shall rejoice to find confirmed. They ftated, on the authority of letters from Oporto of the 28th ult. that the French and British troops in Portugal were engaged on the 24th, and that the enemy were totally defeated. The follow ing communication on the subject was poited at Lloyds Lloyd's, Saturday, Ona o'Clock, p.m. A gentleman of this houfe has juft received a letter from Oporto, dated the 28th laft, which states, that Junot and his army had desamped from Lisbon, to which he had retreated after the defeat of the 21ft, and was attacked on the 24th by the Brit army; that general Loiffon and 5, French were killed in the action, and th Junot and the remainder were made pri ners. Thirty-three waggons loaded wit plate and other valuables, of which th French had plundered the city of Lifbos, fell into the hands of the British army. Th Ruffian fleet in the Tagos had hoisted Par tuguefe colours.' ANOTHER ACCOUNT. A letter received by a merchant in city from his partner at Oporto, dated on Sunday, states, that the following norifica. tion had on that day been posted at the e change of that city, and that the greatf rejoicing haaken place on the occation: Loiffon, with five thousand men, killed; Funot and Laborde prifoners, on their way t Coimbra and Oporto, as the British ge ral would not concede to them any honours Thirty-three waggons loaded with the pl der, taken. The Ruffians, as foon as the French left the capital, hoifted Portugues colours. There has been a naval engagi ment, in which the English destroyed a Pres! fquadron, which was conveying to Portug prince Eugene (our king!) with feveral thousand men to reinforce Junot.' ANOTHER ACCOUNT. A letter from Oporto, dated the 28th Auguft, received this morning ftates, th general Junot and his army had evacuated Lisbon, after plundering the place of 25 waggon loads of the most valuable articks that could be collected, and, after different actions with the British, was ultimately de feated by our brave countrymen on the 14th. General Loiffon and about 5,000 of t French were killed.-General Junot and the reft of the French army were taken prifo ners.' This letter adds a very curions circun ftance, that the Ruffian fhips in the Ta gus hoifted Portuguese colours as foon as they heard of the defeat and capture of Junot's army. Thefe actions, which terminated in the ruin of the French army, were fought in confequence of Junot refufing the only term which general Wellesley would grant bimto furrender unconditionally" ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The Oreftes, arrived at Plymouth, from our fquadron off the Tagus, has brough advice that Junot, hoping that his offers of capitulation would relax the vigilance of our commanders, had attacked the brigades of generals Hill, Ferguson, &c. which had been pushed on towards Mafra, but was unable to make the leaft impreffion. On the following (the 24th) fir H. Dalrymple at tacked the enemy on the banks of the Carrociera, and obtained a complete victory, making Junot, Laborde, Kellerman, and our thousand men prisoners, and leaving Coiffon and five thousand Frenchmen dead in the field of battle, that the rest of the French army had fled to the mountains, eaving their cannon, baggage, &c. and vere purfued by the peasants, who had rought in feveral of them. Letters, both by the Oreftes and the Hinoftan, Rate, that the Ruffian admiral, on eing informed of the defeat of Junot on The aitt, had hoifted the Portuguese flag on he fortifications which he had constructed In the banks of the Tagus for the defenee f his fquadron, and fent to fir C. Cotton ftate, that he confidered himself under le protection of her most faithful majesty, e ally of his mafter, and that any operatias undertaken against the Ruffian flag, in neutral and friendly port, would be a viotion of the independence of Portugal, and a outrage against the law of nations. Our lymouth correfpondent, in reporting this count, adds, that fir C. Cotton had relied, that as the Portuguese government ad been fufpended on the Tagus, he could ot confider the Ruffian squadron other than a hoftile fleet in an enemy's port, and that is duty admitted of but one fine of conduct a the occafion; at the fame time, that he as convinced the British government, afr the neceffary furrender of this fleet, ould exércife in regard to it the most faDurable conftruction that the question ould admit of. Intelligence was yesterday received at the Imiralty from Sir Samuel Hood, ftating at the Ruffian fleet was actually at fea, aving left Cronftadt, with an avowed inntion of clearing the Baltic of the English ips of war. London Gazette Extraordinary. Downing Areet, Sept. 16. A difpatch, of which the following is a py, was received yesterday evening from eutenant-general fir Hew Dalrymple, comFanding his majesty's troops in Portugal, Idreffed to lord viscount Caftlereagh, one his majesty's principal fecretaries of ftate, d brought by captain Dalrymple, militaSecretary to fir Hew Dalrymple. Head-quarters, Cintra, Sept. 3, 1808. MY LORD,-I have the honour to inform ur lordship that I landed in Portugal, nd took the command of the army on Mony the 22d of Auguft, the next day after e battle of Vimiera, and where the enemy tained a fignal defeat, where the valour d difcipline of British troops, and talents British officers, were enimently difplayed. . few hours after my arrival, general Kel lerman came in with a flag of truce from the French general in chief, in order to propofe an agreement for a ceffation of hoftilities, for the purpose of concluding a convention for the evacuation of Portugal by the French troops. The inclofed contains the feveral articles at firft agreed upon, and figned by fir A. Wellesley and gen. Kellermann; but as this was done with a reference to the British admiral, who, when the agreement was communicated to him, objected to the 7th article, which had for its object the difpofal of the Ruffian fleet in the Tagus, it was finally concluded, that lieutenant-colonel Murray, quarter-mafter-general to the British army, and general Kellerman, would proceed to the difcuffion of the remaining articles, and finally conclude a convention for the evacuation of Portugal, subject to the ratification of the French geheral in chief, and the British commanders by fea and land. After confiderable difcuffion and repeated reference to me, which rendered it neceffary for ine to avail myfelf of the limited period latterly prefcribed for the fufpenfion of hoftilities, in order to move the army forwards, and to place the several columns upon the routes by which they were to advance, the convention was figned, and the ratification exchanged the 30th of last month. anchorage for the tranfports and other fhipThat no time might be loft in obtaining ed to great peril on this dangerous coaft, ping, which had for fome days been expos and to infure the communication between the army and victualles, which was cut off by the badnefs of the weather, and the surf upon the fhore, I fent orders to the Buffs and 42d regiments which were on board of tranfports with fir Charles Cotton's flect, to land and take poffeffion of the forts of the Tagus, whenever the admiral thought it proper to do fo.-This was accordingly carried into execution yesterday morning, when the forts of Cafcaes, St. Julien, and Bugio, were evacuated by the French troops, and taken poffeffion of by ours. I landed in Portugal entirely unacquainted with the actual state of the French army, and many circumitances of a local and incidental nature, which doubtless had great weight in deciding the queftion; my own opinion in favour of the expediency of expelling the French army from Portugal by means of the covention the late defate had induced the French general in chief to folicit, inftead of doing to by a continuation of hostilities, was principally founded on the great importance of time, which the feafon of the year rendered peculiarly valuable, and which the enemy could eauly have confumed in the protracted defence of the itrong ftrong places they occupied, had terms of convention been refufed them. When the fufpenfion of arms was agreed upon, the army under the command of fir John Moore had not arrived, and doubts were even entertained whether so large a body of men could be landed on an open and dangerous beach; and that being effected, whether the fupply of fo large an army with provifions from the fhips could be provided for, under all the difadvantages to which the hipping were expofed. During the ne, gociation, the former difficulty was overcome by the activity, zeal, and intelligence of captain Malcolm of the Donegal, a d the officers and men under his orders; but the poffibility of the latter feems to have been at an end, nearly at the moment when it was no longer neceffary. ། Captain Dalrymple, of the 18th drabons, my military secretary, will have the honour delivering to your lordship this difpatch. He is fully informed of whatever has been done under my orders, relative to the Tervice on which I have been employ. 1, and can give any explanation thereupon that may be required. I have the honour to be, &c. H. DALRYMPLE, The right hon. ford vif. Caftlereagh. Translation of the articles for a fufpenfion of arms in Portugal.
