The editors of the New York Gazette are indebted to a Boftonian gentleman, lately from Lifbon, for the fubfeqtient intertlt- ing account of the duration, &c. of the contending armies in Portugal. The in¬ formation is derived fiorn official {burets, and its accuracy may be rel^d on. After the battle of Bufaco, lord Welling¬ ton retired with the Britifh army fionj Al¬ meida to the heights of Torres Vcdras. Of this retteat, being about 40 leagues in dif- tance, there can be little laid, as it was ac¬ companied with no military movements of any importance-------The rear guard of the EngliJh and the advance of the Fre:<ch,were cohftantly engaged in fkirmifhing, but not to an extent productive of any important con- fequences. The town of Almequcr, near the firft Itffcs of defence, and not far diflant from the Tagns, was the cnlv place where the infant:;, of the French came up with the EngUih wctpfi There a fmait (kirmifli took place between the French and a flight divil- ;on commanded by brig. gen*.Crawford.— This was the on!/ rencoumre which took place until Lord Wellington's army was cantoned at Torres Vcdras, within the Brit- rfn lines* and at about five leagues diltance from Lifbon, towards the lhore of the Atlan¬ tic, and gen* MafTena pnflcflincj himfclf of a itright running parallel to riirt place. Of the three iines of defence, which have been thrown up by the Engllfh and Portuguefe, there can be no adequate deTcriplion [-ivm. The firft, or molt eallern one, pafTes thro* the town of Torres Vcdras, extending bom the Atlantic to the river Tagns=, 2nd m about 20 miles in extent : the fVeo-d, puf&njj thro* Mafra is about 13 milts in extent; mid the third pa fling between Mafra and CiiUia, occupies a diihtute of a!>out »2 miles. Gen, Mafleua continued in the pofition which he fii ft occupied, nppofily to Torres Vcdras, for more thai'fix \vcc':s, continually Itconnoitnng the pvhMon of lord Wci'nig- toV» army, ace ifuptHtifd by hwi Ibifl and etv pinecr officers. The difficulty pf fupplyhig his army with provisions the country about him not be.Mijj Juml\il, and the mills having been principal1;' dellroyed, induced gen.Maf- fena to rctiie fumi before Tones Vcduis, and he accordingly fotriiWd and retreated to the town of SanUitcm, his prefent head quaitcrs, which lies upon the river Tajjtxs* about rs leagues above Lifbon. He had previoofly formed depots of provifiortg and forRjje at this place to a very large extent. He com¬ menced his retreat on the night of the 1 5th of Nov. and conducted it in a very m utterly manner. Ke took with him ail hU baggage, caits, &'C. leaving his fiek aftd wounded to lh- mercy of an advancing army. The ad¬ vance guard of the Erigliib came up with the tear of the French army at Cartaxo, at which place the French drew up 3 regiments of cavalry upon a plain extending towards San¬ tarem, The 95th regiment of Fngliih ri¬ flemen were ordered to commence a fue to induce them to retreat. This produced, no efftft ; and gen. Crawford drew up the light diviuon in fight, and would have immediately commenced th* attack, but, it is laid, wrafl checked by Lord Wellington, who remind- fell him that he had only 4000 la his advance, and that he was about to attack gen. Juno't with 14,000. Gen. Crawford according1}' advanced no farther, but retired to Cartasco, at the fame time that the French cavalry moved off to Santarem. The following morning, at day break, gen. Crawford's diviiion advanced oil the road towards Santarem, the remainder of the army being immediately in his rear. A general engagement was fully contemplated, every divifion taking its pofition according to general orders for attack. Every neceflary arrangement having hern made, the whole army was anxioufly waiting for an order to advance, when an aid belonging to Col. Pack, who commands a brigade of Portuguefe, ar¬ rived, informing tint his commanding officer was adancing on the road to Cartaxo, dia¬ metrically oppofite to the orders of lord Wel¬ lington. This circumftancc retarded the ad^ ▼ance, and i:i all probability prevented the attack that day. The evening was employ¬ ed in reconnoitring, and the refult of a con¬ futation wis, a relinquishment of the plan of attack, and an order ilii-.t the army ihould I'*two to it. cantonments, where it ftiU rc- BKiiljH.

The rear of the French army in not confined to San. tarem, but occupies the grand military rond towards Abrantes, for feveral leagues. The town is very ftrohgly fortified. Gen. Mafic* naf having caufed to be ereftcd around the hill three regular rows or trees ofgrofs lira*. ber, forked, to prevent afcending, as well as for a cover in the event of an attack. Oppo¬ se to Santarem, on the fouth (hcSre of the i'agtfs, the country is occupied bv general Hill's brigade, he being Rationed at a .place called Chamufco, and the Spanifh and Port- uguefe further to the wefivvard, in a valley- called Cavalos. Further up the river, and oppofite to Abrantes, there are alfo two brig¬ ades of Portuguefe, who prevent all commu¬ nication with the French army from the follth fhore of the Tagus. The main body of the Portuguefe army under Marfhal Bercsfdrd, k ftationcd farther to the weft ward, immediate. Iy oppofite Cartaxo, the head quarters of lord Wellington; Thus are fituated the two great contend¬ ing powers in Portugal ; and the event of the contelt is anxioufly looked for, as it may in one cafe cornplce the entire fubjugation of continental Europe. The war in any event will be carried to the fouth fliore of the Tagus : for, it muft appear obvious, that the prtfent lines of de¬ fence ate impregnable to any force by which they at prefent can be attacked. An examination of a chart of the country on the fouth fide of the Tagus, will fliow that a length of time mult tranfpire, and much hard fighting mult take place, before the ar¬ mies of France can poflefs the heights oppo¬ fite to Lifoon, and which are the only places commanding the city and river.
