LONDON, September 8.
Thi» day’s Gazette contains lettev #
from Sir A. Wellesley (lord
ton) and Sir Robert Wilson, giving
account of the latter being defeated
the french corps of marshal Ney, r<
Bano9, after a desperate action of n ; ;
hours, in which the enemy suitt.r:
great loss in killed, especially of iht
cavalry.
September 11.
Portuguese papers and letters a riv
ed this morning to the 30th ult. lft
following is an extract of a prints
letter:
“ Jhe whole of our army bos ’J|
Spain. Sir A. Wellesley has his lie-'M
quarters at Elvas, from which plac 1,«
will march to Abrantes Gen. Bercs
ford is at Caste Branco. They arc mid
to hate been c-bliged to retire for want
of provisions. The French have retire 1
to Madrid.”
The Earl of Chatham is not yet ar
rived, and it is reported that he i 9 ex
tremely indisposed at Middkburgh.
It is with much concern we state,
that all the accounts received from the
Scheldt, concur in stating that a great
degree ot sickness prevails among the
British troops in that quarter, and some
mortality.
Gottenburgh mail arrived last night
with an account ol a severely contest <1
battle fought by the Swedes and Res
sians, near Umca, in West Bothnia,on
the 19th ult. in which the former was
defeated; But the opposition which the
Russians experienced Was so great,
that, instead of attempting to advance
they retreated from that position, which
was •ccupicd on the 24th by the Swedes.
A private letter received at Gotton
burgli, on the 4th inst. states, that peace
had been actually signed betwetn Swe
den and Russia, by which Russia was
to retain Finland, «nd the isle of ALud,
and the demand of shutting the Swed
ish ports against England was abandon
ed. A private letter, dated Stockholm,
the 30th last, gives a still more favo
able account of the military operations
in the vicinity of-Umea, than that pub*
i bshtd in the Gottenburgh papers.—
It says, “ the enemy has been forced
to evacuate Umca; but I am sorry to
say, that exploit has cost us dear. Thfc
Joss of the Russians is, however much
greater.’*
September 15.
Dispatches were received last night
at the War Office, from the cotmuan
dcr in chief in the Isle of Walcheren.
They are dated Middleburgh, the 12th
instant. The enemy we understand are
collecting a consumable force in South
Beveland; but it is not probable, altho’
there was a report last night to that ef
fect, that they will make an immediate
attempt on Walcheren. They must be
perfectly well acquainted with the state
i >f our army there, and of course know
that any such attempt would be a work
of supererogation. They have only to
sit down quietly, in Beveland, until their
allies, the climate and its disease s, have
driven our remaining troops out of the
island. According to the most recent
accounts, the number of men in the
hospitals amount to 9,670. So sudden
and powerful is the effects of tne pre
vailing disease, the men, when on du
ty, frequently drop down, who had been
in apparent good health the moment
before they were struck by its pestilen
tial influence.
September 16.
An order from the Admiralty reach
ed Portsmouth yesterday, for the whole
of the copper-bottomed transports, as
sembled at Spithcad,to proceed to Lis
bon with the Ajax man of war, which
takes convoy to the Mediterranean. It
is hence inferred that government have
at length determined to evacuate the
Spanish peninsula, and that the empty
transports are sent to bring away our
troops. The ministerial papers, how
ever, continue to assure us, that Portu
gal is and ought to be retained, and that
Viscount Wellington is to receive, im
mediately strong reinforcement for that
! purpose.
