From the map you will perceive that we are now farther up the country than ever, and a- they fcem determined to purfne their retreat thro' Spain, 1 have no doubt but that by the time vou receive this, there will not be a fingle frenchman in Portugal. Every effort has been made to bring them to a general en¬ gagement, which as yei has proved in effect U- al. There itill remains a probability that they will be forced to it. One thing is cer¬ tain, that want of prcvihons has brought 4- bout this great and wonderful change on the fece of affairs. They have fuffered a good dea1 on the retreat, and we have taken an im¬ munity of prifoners, befide* 17 cannon which they lv*d concealed, having no way of car¬ rying ih-ni ofT.

During this time his Colors were twice (hot away, and then nailed to the mart. The enemy made three attempts to board, and were each time rcoulfed ;—the boarders being killed in the chains or fhrouds. or precipitated into the fea, where they were drowned.
