TO fiit PEOPLE OF PZMICB. • LErrE.R FRIEND; AND FELLOW COUVERYMEIST I j .-- 4 '• Trusting that the sentiments I have explsed in the letter, I had the honour of addressing tdyou on, the 6th inst. .have found some favour with the liberal and the enlightened, far there are those who witl never forgive past errors, I proceed with more confidence on the great subject, the deliverance of our country. I judged right when I said in my letter of the 6th inst. that " our prospects were not flattering, but yet . , that there was no reason to be dismayed," I judged so from the high opinion entertained of the illustrious Leader of the Austrian armies, who has given in the glorious battle of the Danube, such distinguished proofs of his superior military talents; and from the knowledge I have of the detestation universally pre vailing against Napoleon Bonaparte. That spell, which formerly opened so easily every country to the French armies, this great Magician has completely destroyed. Front Hispaniola to the Red Sea, from Cape Nord to Europa Point, he has rendered the French name odious. As I said in my former letter, " in what class of society shall we find the friends of Bonaparte ?" so I say in this—What nation shall we find that loves him i Is it Germany, where he has destroyed all its happy, free cities, suppresSed the states, and exhausted the country of men and money? Is it poor Poland, which he has perpetually deceived with false promises to make it again a nation, and by these deceptions took away her soldiers to perish in the vain attempt to conquer Egypt, and to subdue the betrayed inhabitants of Saint Domingo ? Hol laad, which he deprived of its ancient liberty, haras sed with loans and commercid restrictions—Switzer land, which he dictated his law, and who is to ex pect soon to be the appanage of some of the illustrious blood of the BONAPARTES, cannot certainly be his friends. How he is liked in Spain we have new proofs every day, where his disciplined troops are continually yielding some towns to the per:eveting courage of Cie brave Patriots. And even in Portugal, where there was certainly room for improvement, he con trived to render his government detested. Is it pos sible he should be liked in Italy, where he has, more' than in any other country, given full scope to hi's capricious disposition, and impudently violated all his promises ? • He began with our poor country—when he entered Italy in the year 1796, our too irresolute Senate gave him entrance into our frontier towns, on promise he would respect her neutrality, and supplied army with provisions at the daily expence, I believe, of 30,000 sequins, on promise of payment. In a short time he stirred up Brescia and Bergamo to insurrec tion. Whea our Senate armed to restore order, he called it going to war against him, and rejecting every pacific proposition made by our government, seized on all the Terra Firma ; but as the city of Ve nice is, by its position, impregnable, he made a treaty at Milan, which I have myself seen, in the month of May, 1797, stipulating to maintain the Republic, and to augment its territories. You know that in a few moans afterwards a part of our country he sold, another he gave away, and the ships in the islands he took to himself, and then, in a few years, he finished by taking all. Remember, Italians! one of his great promiie; was to make Italy a great nation—,see how well he has fulfilled it. He has destroyed its integrity—he has cut off some of its principal limbs, - Piedmont ' was the first that was made a department of France, then Parma and Placentia—then the Republic of Genoa, which, with the Cisalpine, Swiss, and Bata vian Republic, he was bound by.the Treaty of Lune- i ! ville to preserve independent. But when does he ever keep his word ? It was with 'Tuscany he carried to excess his barbarous caprice of disposing of nations like herds of cattle. He first deprived her of her be loved Sovereign, Archduke Ferdinand, and erected it into a small kingdom, but he soon pulled down this throne of his own making, and kicked out of it the Sovereign of his own creation, the Queen of Etruria, the unfortunate daughter of his good Ally, Charles the Fourth of Spain, and decreed, that the Tuscan: should be French. I should not be surprised if he made a decree that the language of Petrarch should be ftrohititrd on the hanks of the Arno. But his Im, penal Majesty again changed his mind, and finding that his august sitter, Madame Bacchiocchi, had not enough of the Republic of Lucca, be made the poor Tuscans over to her, though I believe she holds only as a lief from Napoleon, for this famous destroyer of feu dalism is creating every day new Princes and Dukes. Our poor country gives the title and revenues to 12 of these new Dukes. Even sonic parts of the Roman State have been annexed to France—the Alps, the Appennines, the Sea, ale no more the boundaries of Italy ; it is no more that fair country so aptly des-, cribed by our immortal Poet, II bel Che Appenine parte, II mar Cironda a l'Alpe. in all this conduct there is great features of madness, he puts down kingdoms and makes republics —then down with republics, and mvkes more king doms than ever—he drives the Pope out of Rome, then gives his estate back again, and calls him to Paris to crown him, and in return for this robs . him again of his dominions, and makes him a prisoner in his own city. Diruit, zdificet, mutat, quadrata rotundis. I beg yo -4 to observe, that I do not speak from pas sion—Bonaparte has done me no injury ; on the con. trary, from opposite men I haye suffered much, so that human patience was nearly exhausted, but a guaidian angel protected me ; he said, 64 Bona parte is a destroyer of your country, he is a tyrant in the true sense of the word • submit to the pressure of circumstances however painful, endure every evil, but don't disgrace yourself by flying to him for protec tion." I listened to the salutary voice, I have irre vocably committed my fortune, and perhaps .my life on his fall ; I have done my duty and feel happy. 0, Italians ! and above all, you Venetialisohe first victims of his perfidy, what a happy opportunity is offered to you now to free your country from your invaders, your plunderers, to recover your name, your rights, your freedom. The decisive check given by Prince Charles on the Danube bath paralyzed the motion of this hitherto fortunate Usurper. The infuriated Tyrant has called to.his assistance all his forces from every part of bis conquests. Our Italian aiii'Dalmatian provinces are nearly aripped of his troops. Follow the example of Mir tifkighipouTre ,pl i y.neet nOWstaymen,. ths : beisye li'yrolese. Arise all in a mas—,our Gondoliers alone with, their oars, our peasants with their forts and reaping -hooks - , are sditclent to overcome 'or Frenchmen left in your country. But no assassiiia thins, no Sicilian Vespers, they me unworthy of Chris tians, and disgrace 'an honourable cause. Arise ! instantaneously, be unanimous, and you will meet hardly any resistance. The Ministers of this country have declared In par liament, that any nation who shales e l f the yoke of Bonaparte becomes the Ally of England. As soon then as you have effected it, you are to expect Engli,ll vessels entering our numerous ports in Dalmatia, Istria, Venice itself, with military stores and provi. sions of every kind. The moment you have got your country free from the French, send immediately Deputies to the Arch duke Charles for his orders—obey implicitly his com mands, for he is ow only Leacler l the deliverer of our country and all Europe. I am convinced that our victory will be certain and complete. Never was Bo.! , naparte in so perilous a situation ; he is with his army not amounting to 200,000 men, at 200 leagues from the frontiers of France, on one side or the Danube ; on the opposite side is the Austrian Hero, with superior force. All around the Austrians are friends and loving subjects—Bonaparte is surrounded with enemies and reluctant slaves—Suabia, Tyrol, the Grisons, are all in arms, and soon, probably, Swit zerland will join. We, with our fellow-countrymen, the intrepid Sclavonians, may soon collect 50004* men. The North of Germany is also inimical; Mid' thus will close a circle of 4. or 500,0(X) hostile tioapi around him ; add to this a mighty expedition, which is going to sail from Englis:i ports ; its destination i s . wisely.concealed, but it will undoubtedly produce a powerful diversion. Every thing then promises the most complete success. I have only one fear, this is, peace—but, after ten years experience, it is impos sible they can consent to any peace, but that which will put it out of his power to disturb the world again. —Now then, my friends, is the moment to recover your name, your glory, the security of your property and of your families. Look around you, all other nations are breaking their chains; will you be the only one to kiss them i Impossible ! infamy and miser y would be your lot. Oh 1 that I had a hundredth part of that influence which my illustrious uncle possessed, the Chevalier Emo, the regenerator of our navy, and his not less illustrious brother, Alvise, whose voice in our great Council was as commanding z,s that of Cato in the Senate of ll e .ome. But my early years, miserably wasted, give me no right to form such an expectation —my c.nly hope is to obtain your forgiveness. I remain your faithful servant, And affectipnate fellow-countryman, (Signed) Cheltenham, 28th Julie, 1809. P. S.

Here he was attacked by Marshal NEY on the 7th ult.. with a superior force, but he succeeded in forcing him to retreat with disaster and disgrace. The following are the details :—. ADMIRALTY OFFICE, JULY 4. Copies of two Letters from Captain M 4 Kibley, of his Majesty's Ship the Lively, to the Hon. William Wellesley Pole. Lively,'Vigo, June 7. Strt—Be pleased to inform my Lords Commis sioners of the Admiralty, thau yesterday evening, an express arrived from a Spanish officer at San •-Payo to Commodore Don Juan Carransas, that the Conde de Norona was retiring with his division of the Galician army from Pontevedra to that place, and desiring boats might be there to convey the troops across the river (the bridge having been broken down on the 7th of May), Commodore Don J. Carransas request ing assistance, Captain Winter wit's the Cadmus ( who had been obliged to put back from stress of . weather), immediately sailed up the river with the Portuguese schooner Curiosa, under my orders frop the Hoponr ) able Vice-Admiral Berkeley, - the Tigre Spanish' schooner of war; ..ar)d as many boats and vessels as. could possik t ,ly be collected. • . 1 _ This retrogrult-merernent caused me math "mi. ety, and I very early this morning scent .. up in ti,- barge to Sari Payo, where I found Brigadier Genera! •Carrera strongly frosted on the south side of tl.- bridge (The Conde de Norona being at Redondela',, and in my interview with him, I. learnt that {enemy, after the Brigadier General had taker. Sant,. ago, united his forces from Lugo to those of Cony , na; amounting to eight thousand men, two thousand five hundred cavalry, with several field pieces and some 12-pounders. force,being very much superior to the Brigt• dier's, he retreated to Caldas and Pontevedra, where the Conde de Norona joine..l. From the excessive and continued heavy rains we have had of late, much of the ammunition was unavoidably damaged, and Pontevedra being too distant to receire any snore when attacked, the fidlirg back on such a stroug po • sition was well conceived and moFt ably erecuted:.=. On a height above the bridge they had a battery of two eighteen pounder:, and this army war increased to' between six and seven thousand men armed, and-three thousand fine young men without arms, one hondrei - and twenty horse, nir.e field pieces, act;ng under the immediate direction of the Brigadier General. At nine the enemy appeared on the other side in great force, and although the Galician troops had undergone much fatigue, and suffered greatly from 'the inclemency of the weather, to which they Lad beer; constantly exposed, yet, on the approach cf the enemy, nothing could exceed the animation and., spirit of the soldiers, all was alacrity and confidence, • and I left the Brigadier General, and was saluted by the enemy from their field pieces, but without hurt. ing us, although nearly within musket shot ; at half. past nine they opened their fire on the Spaniards, Iwhich was most spiritedly returned, and their field. artillery was moved with great alacrity, and well served. On my return on board I landed my marines and twentyfive seamen at the castle (having taken them on board some days past) ; and Lieutenant Colonel Carroll, in the most zealous and handsome manner, offered his services to assist Captain Crawford in de fence of the castle. Sixty soldiers, whom he brought from Gijon with him, (part of nut army) at his ear nest request were lanciid, and 1 supplied them with arms ; and every thing was put in the best possible grder of defence by ComModore Don Juan Carrin sas, Don Bernado Gonsalez the Governor, and Cap tain- Crawford, of his Majesty's'ship Venus. • .1 have the honour to be, &c. (SigirA) GEO. Ne Lively, Vigo, June lq, Sir—l concluded my letter of the 7th instant, which I did myself the honour of writing to acquaint you, for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, tle:t the enemy had begun an attack ' at half past nine that morning on the Spanish troops under tae command. of Brigadier-Geaeral Carrera, on the south side oft)* bridge of St: Pays. "haste to request you will be pleased to make known to their Lordships, that the enemy, having taken post on the north side of the bridge, 4 below it, shot across, in houses, and in a wood a little below it, kept up his attack, supported with field.atair g ery and three twelve-pounders, with great vivacity during the whole of that day (tLe 7th), whickWas, sustained by the Galician army with great coolness and bra very.—During the night of tht.' , 7tit, the enemy erected a battery. Commodore Don Alan Carransas sent up 'three gun boats, one of which' Captaio 'Winter *an-, • tied, under the charge of Li eu t enant Jefferssqk his s _..` First Lieutenant. At daylight in the morning of.tik Bth, the enemy opened his tire, both on the GaliOrt , troops and the boats ; the latter of which, fro* tie tide being up, got near, and destroyed the eneirqrs batteries. At the fall of the tide the engto to l ifle two desperate attempts to cross below the bridge with ( his cavalry and hif:Antry, but the greaf courago,oo spirit displayed by our friends repulsed thewpith great slaughter. A body of them went highei up the river to the bridge to SOttomayar, and that active and brave officer Don Pable Murillo tea l s detached with a division to oppose them, and the enemy, after persevering for an hour and a helf, were obliged to give way to the superior gallantry of the Spaniards, and retreated to San Payo, where another attack, during a thick fog, was again made by the enemy, who, as in the former ones, was driven back, and Marshal Ney, who commanded the French troops, consisting of eight thousand Men, two thousand five hundred cavalry, with field artillery and two twel#e. pounders, experienced a defeat from a new raised army consisting of six thousand armed men, and three thousand without arms, and some small field artillery, with, two eighteen-pounders, and in the night they re treated, leaving some of his wounded. The enemy burnt* many of their dead, and in one pit has been dis covered thirty buried ; his loss must have beengreat. The loss on the side of the Spaniards has been trifling, only one hundred and ten killed and wounded. Cap tain Vynter, who was some time at the Camp, and who had a narrow escape, a grape shot having graz. ed his hat, described to me that such was the anima : tion of the Spanish troops, that it was with difficulty 1 they were restrained by their officers from pushing across. Thus, Sir, the spirit and good conduct of this di vision of the Spanish Galician army who, though - without almost every part of clothing, and exposed to heavy rains without shelter, had shewn to their • We suspect this to be a typographical error in the Gazette -rpe^hape - the ward should be ,` ioried."• ..• 1 .'• D.:, . •• • r A
