Edwards, from Lisbon, 38 days. --He informs, that when he sailed there was a prospect of an accommodation between Spain and Portugal; and that a courier had arrived at the Court of Lisbon, announcing the approach of an Ambassador from Madrid:--That the British troops and subjects were preparing to embark immediately; and that the expedition fitting out in England to aid Portugal had been counter-ordered.
