LATE FROM PORTUGAL
The fast sailing ship Fair American capt. Hobson, arrived yesterday, in 26 days from Lisbon. Capt. H. politely supplied the Editor of the Federal Gazette with Lisbon and Badajos papers, former to 8th October, and the latter to 26th Sept. together with an extract from a letter from a British colonel to his brother in Lisbon, dated Badajoz, Sept. 19, which speaks with some confidence of the ultimate success of the patriots, provided the war in Germany continues until permanent arrangements are completed for supplying the troops. The combined armies were receiving reinforcements: particularly the Portuguese divisions, a succession of small detachments daily arriving from almost every town in Portugal. The French were not advancing. The British head-quarters continued at Badajoz--troops extending towards Merida.
