From the aurora. LATE FROM PORTUGAL. We have received files of Portuguefe and Wafc Gazettes down to the early part of «FJ)« and fome private advices of the mill- wry -fpc*6: cf things in that country ; from Watch we collect the following particulars, Principally deiived from an officer of the fr't'fft army at Lifbon, at the period of the Wfcture of tfca William P;nn. the head quarters of the Bntifh army, Jjder Lord Wellington, on the 4th of March, was at Cartaxo, near Villa Franca, «> the Tagus, 26 miles N.

The . It of the army under Gen. Prum- mend had its head •quarters at Torres Vedras, 2l3 mi!ej d\.e no th of Lifbon, and about io miles from the fca, commanding the lower load b t#eea Lifbon and Levira; the force confiding of 6000 Bruifh and 2000 Portu- guef., with fome auxiliary Spaniards. The head-quartets of the French comman¬ der ifl chief was at this time and on the eth March at Santarem, 22 miles N. E. of the Britifli head-quarters. The reconnoitring parties of the ri^ht wing under Gen. Bercsfard, had occalionally croiTvd to the rigttt lide of the Tagns, and had raale fome dcmonllrations on that fule, the poftion of Gen. B_resford being twenty miles above the French head-quarters ; but on the morning of the 5th March, it was found that the French had retired from this pofiti n, having left on their out polh a num¬ ber of uniformed effigies, as a deception ;— the next day, the 6th March, the divifion of Cen. Bedford croffed the Tagns, and form¬ ed a juniiion with the right of the divifion of Gen. Welled-v at Galaija. The Vvhole army wa$ now in pnrfuit of the French, who had made very lapid forced marchesi Santarem from its extent may be fuppofed to have contained about 15,000 in¬ habitants, but it now exhibited a heap of ru¬ in*—only about 5 or 6 houfes weie left hab- i:aUe, the rell without exception, unroofed and gutted, nor was there a door or window to be feen, fome had been confumed by fire, and ihe ruins were ft ill fmoking on the 9th.

At. the pofjt'on of Sa'Uarem the two great roads united, the lower leads to Leyuafrom which it is about 37 miles diftant, in a di¬ rection l'omethin-r weft of north ; this is the load to Coimbra, over which both armies had travelled as far as Leyira, afier the battle of Bufaco—Coin.bra is diftant from Santarem flbovii- 80 miics.

The rear guard of the French was over¬ taken and fome <l<ii miming tool: place, in which there were fome lives loft and prifon- ers taken on both iide.;; the Britifh light in¬ fantry are reported as having fullered very feverely, but. they compelled the French to fly. On the 7th the main body of the Britifh halted waiting for the divifion from Torres Vedras to join, and that day pufiied their advance on to Coldas. The French had retired in three columns from Thomar ; and the Britifh light troops came up with their rear guard, and fcveral levere conHicts took place. On the 8th, the whole army was in mo¬ tion, and it was then fuppofed that theFrench had occupied the ftrong pulition at the Font de Murcella, and that they meant to make a ftand there. A great number of prifoners were made, compofed principally of perfons exhaufted by fatigue, and apparently much emaciated from want of food, and feveral de- ferters alfo came in-to the Britifh. On the 9th, the Biitifhanny was forced to halt for want of provifious ; the French having deftroyed every thing of that defcrip- tion on the whole line of their march, and for feveral miles on every fide. The French had not reached Coimhra on the 9th. On the 10th a dragoon oft he guards, who brought difpatches to an officer at Santarem dated that the advance of the Britifh had come in contact the preceding day with one of the French divifions, about a ftage dif- tance from Thomar, on the Abrantes road ; he faid the French had been taken fo much by furprife, that they were feen leaping from the windows of the houfes in which they had gone to reft. The Britifh infantry were un¬ der orders for forced marches fince the pnr¬ fuit began, and it was not doubted at that time that the whole body of the French would be compelled to fight. The divifion of Gen. Hill was pufned for¬ ward with great celerity, to intercept the French in the paflage of the river. In the Britifh army, the fudden retreat of the French was attributed to the defertion of KeUti Burke from the Britim, as he was fuppofed to have carried a ftatement oi the reinforcements that had lately arrived from England* Among the prifoners taken by the Britifn in their puriuit, were fome de- ierters from their own army. expiration of feveral days. This unqucftiona- bly gave the French commander [Victor] opportunity to procure reinforcements ; and we mentioned on the 10th, that Sebaftiani had a confiderahlc body of light troops and cavalry, in ^he vicinity of Honda, about 30 or 40 miles diftant, and which could fall on the right of the expedition. Several accounts make it certain that the expedition had en¬ countered the French near Chiclana, (a few miles eift of the ifle on which Cadiz ftands) and that the objedt of the expedition had wholly failed.
