Yes, their ardour, their fervent courage, must be regulated by order, Intelligence, and prudeike, that it may produce tke resuhat which we all aspire. Above all things, it is absolutely necessary that we should act in concert, and meet sfui that purpose, by proper deputation.

Pazweirmin !—You possess no longer eithet laws or liberty, nor. any good whatever; with streams of blood shed by yourselves and your children, you have been compelled to enslave Europe. A family, net French, t eigns, through you, over several European nations, without the least be nefit: to France, or any other people. Spain, your constant ally, has contributed, you know, by a variety et means; to your triumphs; and yet she has been despoiled of bee laws, her Monarch, and her greatness, het very religion is threatened; and this has hitherto been achieved., not by gallantry andvalour, but by treachery and fraud, in which you are forced to co-operate; your valiant arms are defiled; you are made to assist In deeds of infamy, inconsistent with your generous cha racter, and with the name of the great nation, which you have acquired. Frenchmen, the Spanish Nation, your illy and generous friend, 'Mates you to withdraw from banners which are destined to en slave all nations, and to enlist under our's, which are raised for the best of causes, to defend our laws and our King, whereof we have been robbed, not by force of arms, but by frauJ, treachery, and ingratitude of the deepest dye. We all will die, and you should die with us to wipe off the stain which *ill otherwise in delibly disgrace your nation. The Spaniards tender you the just reward for such an action, with open arms will they receive you and fight by your side ; and when the war shall be terminated with that success which they have every reason to expect, land shall be given you, which you may cultivate unmolested,and pass your remaining days amidst a nation which loves and respects you, and where impartial justice shall incorruptibly protect all your fair enjoyments. Italians, Germans of all the Provinces of that great Nation, Po:. Landers, Swiss. a:-.d ye all who compose the armies called French, will you fiqbt for him who oppressed and despoiled you of what Ton held most sacred ? For hint, who has dragged you from your' families and homes, robbed you of your property, your wives, your children, your native country; which he has enslaved ? And will you fight against a nation, genernus like the Spanish, from whim you experienced the kindest reception, which loves you with the tenderest attachment, and which, at the zenith of its glary and dominion, respected your rights, because it looks urn all men as brethren ? Will you fight against a nation which it is intended to subdue and enslave, not by dint of arms, as brave men would do, but under the cloak of alliance and friendship, by fraudulent treachery, detestable and horrid beyond any precedent in history, even among barbarous nations. We hope you will not. Come to us, and you shall meet with valour, generosity, and true honour. We tender the same rewards to you as to the French ; and we trust, you and your postetity will enjoy them in happiness and peace. (Signed) DON JUAN BAUTISTA ESTELLER, First Secretary.

Seville. has learisred with consternation and surprise your dreadful catastrophe of the 2d of May; the weakness of a Government which did nothhig In your favour; which ordered arms to be directed against you and your heroic sacrifices. Blessed be ye, and your memory shall shine immor tal in the annals of our nation. She has seen with horror, that the authors of all your misfor tunes, and of ours, have published a Proclamation, in which they distorted every fact, and pretended that you gave the first provo cation, while it was they who provoked you. The Government was weak enough to sanction and order that Proclamation to be circulated, and saw, with perfect composure numbers of you put to death for a pretended violation of laws which did not exist. The French were told in that Proclamation, " that Frefah blood prjeuely 'bed, low cryiv ootfor opentedose!" And the Spanish blood. does not it cry out for vengeance ?—that Spanish blood shed by an army which hesitated not to attack a disarmed and defence elss People, living under their laws and,their King, and against whom crackles were committed Which shake the human frame with horror. We, all Spain exclaim—the Spanish blood dud in Mjdrid cries stool for revenge Comfort yourselves, we are your brethren ; we will fight like you, until we perish in defending our King and country. Assist us wire your good wishes, and your continual prayers, offered up to the MOST HIGH, whom we adore, and who cannot forsake us, because he never has forsaken a just cause. Should any f4,Vou rabic opportunity offer, exert yourselves as valiant Spaniards, to shake off the ignominious yoke, impased on you with the slaughter of so many of your innocent fellow. citizens, and with a perfidy horrid beyouad example.

Noaxx CarrixxiaNs,—The common foe of mankind was the traitor who tore from our bosom our amiable Ferdinand VII. and the whole Royal Family. He carries his audacity the length of holding out to us offers of happiness and race, while he is laying waste our country, pulling down our churches, and slaugh tering our brethren. His pride, cherished by a set of villains who are constantly anxious to offer incense on hiirshrine, and tolerated by numberless victims, who pine in Ids chains, have caused him so conceive the fantastical idea of proclaiming himself Lord and Ruler of the whole world. There is no atrocity which he does ao► cote/nit to fawn that cad. The respectable nape of the 7 -!'7C74 ,1 ~: ~.~.. ~~. great Emperor of Russia ; the political dissimulation of befr man Emperor ; the titiorous condescension of the holy Fitber of the Church; the opinion of triie Frenchmen, exposed- more Than others to the seventy of their iron sceptre; in short, the most sa cred laws of humanity have been trampled under foot with the utmost contempt, to pronounce the detestable sentence of the extirpation of the House of Bourbon. Shall all there outrafes ' sU these iniquities, remain unpunished, While Spaniards, and Castile San Spaniards, yet , exist ? No, it cannot be. Your minds glowing with generous ardour for your religion and your etiktitry, have resolved to renew the heroic scenes, in. which eastillian valour shone with immortal lustre, saved the Country, and consolidated oar Religion. The stratagems which hitherto secured.victoriel to the '1 yrant, vanished the moment when Europe saw with her awn eyes the artful snares and devices by which he seduced the unwary, until he had bent their neck Under his yoke. Let us shed the last drop to resist that dominion. Let us all become gal lant soldiers, full of discipline and subordination. Let us breathe but obedience and respect for the great man by whom we are go verned, one of the best Generals of Spain, his Excellency Don Gregorio de la Cuerta. To arms, Castilllans, to arms ; let 11.1 die for our Country, our Religion, and our King. THE KINGDOM OF GALICIA. GALICIA N6—You have bewailed the fate of your amiable Fey. dinand—the horror of the perfidy by which he was seduced, still burns in your bosoms. You fear danger to our holy religion, you look upon our exterior worship as annihilated, upon our altars profaned, and the temples of the eternal and sole Omnipotent con verted into places of desolation by order of the Tyrant, who ar rogates to himself the title of Arbiter of Destinies, because he has succeeded in oppressing the noble French nation, without recol. iectiug that be himself is mortal, and that he only holds the r wzr delegated to him for our chastisement. You turned your eyes to wards the Municipal Authorities, and you even insulted them— b muse they did net animate the flame of your Indignation against the enemy. The time is come—your kingdom has assembled in Cones, and re-assumed the sovereign authority which under such circumstances devolves upon it by right, and of which its first ex ercise is In complying with your wishes so loudly declared; you have already a leader, and the most vigorous dispositions are taking—fly therefore to arras ! and let us march to defend the cause of GOD, the honour of our Country, our lives and our for tunes ! Will you be insensible to the voice of the nation, and will you only be found valiant in the streets of your cities Now that twenty thousand brave soldiers have taken up your cause for theirs, will you refuse to unite with their . generous battalions ?_ Will you hesitate to embody yourselves with these masters of the military art ? Do yott imagine, forsooth, that your courage with out discipline can be useful ? Such ideas avaunt—receive in your arms these heroes who are going to marshal your strength, and only from the common nmse of Spaniards, even without being Galician., feel a deep interest in your cause. The Kingdom sends them to you. You should obey their sovereign and legitimate authority. Let discord fly from us—we are brothers, and are going to sacrifice ourselves for the same sacred 'cause: Galician!—Enrol yourselves frben 16 to 40 years of age. it is, better to die In defence of Out' raigidn and firesides, and in your own country, than to be led bound to slaughter in order to satisfy an inordinate ambition. The French Conscription comprises you. If you do not serve your Kingdom, you will go and die in the North. We lose nothing. For even should we be unsuccessfld, we shall have freed ourselves by a glorious death from the galling chains of a foreign yoke. But there Is no reason to fear this peril —Death has alarm& only for Poltroonsand Goo, for whose cause we are going to fight, will witch over us, because, in the end, every mortal has a determined measure, and we ought to trust in his mercy, that When his wrath (which we so much de serve) is appeased, he will protect us. The Standard of your Holy Patron Saint James is now unfurled—let us follow it. Galicians !—The Asturians and Alouese have 80,000 men en listed, and already iio,ooo under arms--let us go and relieve our brethren, these intrepid men. We shall thus save our country from becoming the theatre of war. This kingdom, which has assembled through your instance, expects it from you—this king dom will reward t hose who distinguish themselves, with every thing in its power, and at the conclusion of the war it will immediately give you your discharge, and enable you to enjoy the fruits of vic tory under the shade of the laurels you will have won, and con. sign to your children at your ease, the example of your glorious deeds. DOMINGO VALADO DE PARGA, Sec. ' Corunna, June 5, 1808. PRIVATE LETTER.-BAYONNE, MAY 8. This town has seen with an astonishment from which it has not yet recovered, the conclusion of a business which, in the first instance, presented so fa vourable an appearance, by the arrival of Ferdinand VII. and what subsequently occulted in the succes sive Sittings up to the memorable Congress of the sth. —When the new Sovereign arrived here, he was re ceived at a league distant from Bayonne, by the Prince of Neufchatel, the principal Major Domo Du roc, and other personages of the first ccnsequence, General ,Aid-de-camp, and a brilliant assembly who accompanied the King of Spain to the apartments de signed for him, leaving at the residence of his Majesty an Imperial Guard of Honour. Half an hour after the Emperor Napoleon arrived from his Palace of Murac, accompanied by a numerous suite of person ages to visit Ferdinand VII. who immediately re paired to the gate to receive his Imperial visitor Na poleon alighted from his horse, threw his arms round his august guest, saluted him, shook him by the hand, and assured him of his sincere friendship. After this first meeting, Napoleon invited Ferdinand to dine with him at five o'clock, but - previously sending to him a state carriage, drawn by most beautiful horses, :hewing to him then, and afterwards, every possible attention. So that the three first days of his arrival in Bayonne were daya'Of rejoicing , td and the people really believed that It was in in good earnest to honour and respect the royal visitor. After this there were .a number of private inter views between Ferdinand and Napoleon ; in the first of which Napoleon offered to him the crown of Etrru= ria; and his niece in marriage. some of these conic rences were held in the presence of the First Minister, M. Zevallos, who distinguished himself upbn the oc casion, as will be remarked in the Junta of the sth May, and at these conferences there was much alter cation. Subsequently to them, however, Ferdinand was deprived of his carriage and of his guard of ho nour, remaining only with the Commandant of his private guard, a Jewish officer if the National Guard of Bayonne. From this moment the state of things became changed, .and Napoleon now assumed towards the Prince a different and an angry aspect ; Lain:a:nig to the Noblemen who accompanied Ferdinand, that they should answer with their heads for the security of his person, which produced amidst thein a sudden dejection. The object of these conferences seemed to be that of gaining time for the arrival of Godoy, and of the King and. Queen. But in the mean time Napoleon intimated to Ferdinand that the reign of the Bourbons was at an end- , -adding, that his and their interests were at variance, and that the continuance of the sceptre in their hands could no longer conduce to the . devel ent s f his plans, and le vast polit;cal objects he had in view. Notwithstanding this, how ever,lr pressed Ferdinand to accept the - kingdom of Etruria, and directed the Grandees to counsel their Prince to accede ta his proposal. Ferdinand an swered boldly, " I will not accept the Crown of Etruria, nor any Crown in the world, whilst Nature gives me a rightful claim.to that of .pain. My only ambition is to render my people happy • and I would choose to die in the midst of My faithful . Spaniards, though it were my fate to wear the chainsof letvitodo and to resign whatever would most attach one to life's 1 ~',l PkIVATE LETTER.—CORUNIsIA, JUNE 21. You, ne doubt, have been informed of the treachery of Napoleon; but this generous nation, inflamed with a spirit of loyalty to their legitimate King, and an ardent love of their rergion, is determined to assert its lights, attd is actually rising en mute to avenge its injured honour. We reckon that 300,000 men are already raised in the various armies, well appointed, and commanded by our best Generals. Within two months we shall haste above 400,000 soldiers iu arms ; for there is only one voice and one wish throughout the country, and all fly. with alacrity to its service. Nothing can arrest our progress but the want of money. It will be a most fortunate circumstance, if the British Government should assist us by making a diversion in the North, and contributing those supplies in money and arms of svtue.li we stand is need. Within the , space of eight days Galicia has organized a formida ble force of 45,000 men. I include in this number 20,000 veteran troops, which were divided between ' these places, Ferrol, and Oporto, and which have now formed a junction in Lugo and Orense, with a power- Jul train of artillery. • Two divisions of these troops, consisting of 11,000 men each, are in full march to , wards Castile, a- d the remainder will follow imme- ' diately. We are employed in forming another army of 40,000 men, to def.nd our frontier towards Castile, already so difficult of access, by the mountain; which separate us.—ln Madrid and its vicinity, the French have about 40,000 men, and at Burgos and its neigh bourhood 10,000 more; but pressed on all sides by large armies, they will have the choice only' f perish ing or surrendering. Our most ardent wish is, to free the capital from the authority of the French, so that our Government may resume its functions, and treat formally for Peace with Epgland. For the present, the Supreme Court of Galicia has entered into a nego • elation with the British Commodore on this station for an exchange of prisoners, on condition that he shall not molest onr coasting trade. By that channel you will receive this letter, and by the same means we shall have a constant correspondente ; or by the flee; >on the coast of Asturias, which has also opened a di rect communication with your country. • • FROM THE DUTCH PAPERS.

And he finished by saying, “Napoleon, I am no longer an Infant of Spairi, but I was born one !" The Minister, Zeval los, then began to speak ; and with a flowing elo quence, apostrophising Godoy, he said, “ Infamous man, unworthy the name of a Spaniard ; you have sold your Country and your Prince. -But the same Emperor who now appears to protect you has decreed within himself your punishment, and that of the pa rent King. Do you not behold, traitor, how he is taking ad - vantage every moment of these contentions ? Ah ! how could you have influenced the minds of these miserable parents towards their children ! But , your error—your crimes—You ought to have done your duty towards them, though it were only in return for having saved your life from the fury of the popu lace. Answer! But I believe it impossible. 'Tis not so with me, who am a loyal Spaniard, the second person in the nation, and first subject of the King. But Zevallos has religiously fulfilled his duty ; and you have always trembled before Zevallos." He continued speaking thus for near an hour and a quar ter ; so that the Emperor knew not what to answer in refutation of the arguments he advanced. In this predicament, recurring to his authority, he ordered tobe taken from his presence this phenomenon, saying, " 'twas impossible that the earth should subsist a man of so much freedom before the Emperor of the French. But I'll reward you for it." M. Zevallos went out ; and M. Gomez spoke afterwards. But it was finally decreed by Napoleon I. • and Charles IV. that Ferdi nand VII. should renounce the Crown to his father in the space of six hours. Under this violence, he was compelled to do it ; but with certain restrictions, which Napoleon was ready to admit, and which he did agree to with Charles IV. The latter finally con sented to abdicate and cede his Crown to Napoleon, who in turn transferred it to his brother; Joseph I. at Naples, nominating, in the meanwhile, that the Gland Duke of Berg should be Lieutenalit of the kingdom.

It was necessary, how ever, to alter the position cf the arrieudment in the Bill. There was another amendment also, which it would be necessary to alter, which authorised an ap plication to the Court of Session in the cases of appeals to the House of Lords, which were withdrawn or dis missed. This amendment, his Lordship observed., was not consistent with the roams of proceeding in that House, and in effect made the Court of Session a Court of Appeal front the decision of the linuse, Ih therefore proposed to confine the effect of the amend. ment to Appeals dismissed in consequence of not being prosecuted. He thought it better, however, to post- pone the consideration of these amendments till to morrow, and moved accordingly.
