GIBRALTAR, JUNE S. • Deputations from the Kingdoms of Granada and Valent;a , and the Province of Barcelona, have ar nred here, soliciting the assistance of the English, and declaring their ports open to all English vessels, 2 10 at all hostilities against England had been or- deed to cease by the new Government. The Sc.ovr brig of war arrived from Lord Col. asnwoon last night, in eleven days, from Toulon, rith the accounts of his Lordship shortly intending to- proceed to this place. The AMPHION frigate, Captain Hosea, had driven a French frigate on shore in the Bay of Roses. • This morning arrived the CAMIRIAN frigelte, Captain Vl...vex:yrs, from the fleet off Cadiz. Accounts from Barcelona state, that the whole of the French troops in that neighbourhood had been killed or taken prisoners, after a bloody conflict with the Spanish Army, commanded by Count ESPI:LETA. JrNE 9.—Last night Lord CoLuvowoon arrived here with the OCEAN and MALTA, from off Toulon, to proceed to Cadiz. Arrived also the ACORN brig, with dispatches, from 7.nglan I. the accounts from Spain continue extremely fa vourable, many detached bodies of French having been cut off, or taken by surprize. The French sent to have been in no way prepared for this extra ordinary Revolution. A very mind scene is now opening in this neigh bourhood : the whole of Spain is in arms to drive the French out of the country, and the enthusiasm of the nation exceeds all bounds. I have great doubts whether BeAPARTE, with all his numerous armies, will be able to subdue Spain. The communication is open with Spain, and all their ports receive our vessels, as in time of peace, and all hostilities have ceased on our part. FALMOUTH, JULY 8. s Arrived the Stag privateer, of and for Guernsey, with a cargo of wine, from Gijon, in 10 days, and !.. has landed an English gentleman, with dispatches from Mr. }lv N taut, (the British .A gent there), and reports, that the French have been driven out of Ma drid, and that there had been a battle fought in that neigthottrh'ood, in which the whole of the French y force there were defeated with great loss, with the f.` exception of about 5,000 men, who had entrenched e themselves, and were waiting for reinforcements ; .e also, that the French Ships at Cadiz had surrendered to the Spaniards, after four day s bombardment from a ..,;r.e batteries, manned with British soldiers. it The lit.kcx JOKE lugger is also arrived from Gijon, , al, four days, and landed a Spanish Officer, who im le rnediattAy set of express for London, and reports that le the French had been defeated with the loss of 17,000 v, men near Arragon, and more ha other parts, the whole 4 to the amount of :35,000 men. 4- His Majesty's ship SCOAPIOY had arrived at Gijon ..; from Plymouth, with two British Officers and a sue r. ' rqy of ammunition, which were Joyfully received by 0 - tot patriots. ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. Arrived his Majesty's lugger 21.1.ACX .foxe, Lieu. tenant I.e.scx, with a Spanish Officer from Gijon, four days passage. Immediately on landing, they both went off in a post-chaise and four, for London. It is stated that the French army have been obliged to evacuate Madrid. MURAT, with 5000, the remains of his army, are said to have entrenched themselves in a strong position, hoping to receive reinforcements. Thirty-Eve thousand French are reported to have fallen in the different actions with the Spaniards, who have also, of course, lost a great number of men, but who are represented as Mcist enthusiastic in their ef foru to relieve themselves from the tyranny of the man whom they deem the most sanguinary monster that ever cursed the earth. She also brings an aczount that the Frcnch syn.. cltion in cactieliersorrattaria wit* abitiether suffering a bombardment.of four days. Also. the Stag privateer, of Guernaey, from Gijon, in nine dais ; she hat, brought over Captain PRATT; late of the brig Eliza,. taken some time since by the French. Captain P. is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. HUNTER - His Majesty's brig Scoanos had , arrived at Gijon, and landed Sir T. DYER and two other officeis, and a great quantity of ammunition. which they were much,in way of, and was most thankfully received. The Stag took a cargo of wine on board, which she took in at Gijon, and with ?Mich she is againsailed for Guernsey. TRURO, JULY 9. An express from Falmouth ; announces the arrival there of the Stag privateer of Guernsey, and also of the Black Joke lugger, both with dispatches from Spain. The latter is•only five days from Gijon, and brings over a Spanish*Officer of rank, accompanied by Lieutenant LEECH; of the navy, who snorts as follows :—Sir THOMAS DYER had arrived at Gijon, and was immediately waited upon by a Deputation from the Prorisional Government at Oviedo, by whom' he was received with a degree of pomp and enthu siasm difficult to describe. A letter from Mr. CAN NING, of which Sir THOMAS was the bearer, was im- • mediately published. It contained the warmest as surances of the cordial co-operation of the British Government, and had raised the minds of the Sna niards to a frenzy of joy. Two English ships had also arrived at Gijon with an immense quantity of muskets, pikes, artillery and ammunition.—Sir TNo- MAS DYER had sent a vessel to cruize off Ferrol, for Sir ARTIIUR WELLESLEY'S Expedition. The news of the French General DUPONT'S defeat is 'confirmed : and similar affairs happen daily. It is computed that not less than 35,00 Q Frenchmen have already been destroyed. Wherever one appears he is ' put to death, and any Spaniard who seems inclined to favour the French ia treated in the like manner.— MURAT is beaten out of Madrid, and is entrenched at Retiero : he is said to have not more than 10,000 men with him, and is waiting reinforcements. Madame MuaAr has fallen into the hands of the patriots, and is detained by them as an hostage. The rumour of JosEpo BONAPARTE'S death is not true. He had ad vanced into Spain on his way to Madrid ; but per ceiving his danger, very prudently returned again into France. NAPOLEON has left Bayonne on his re turn to Paris. It is understood at Oviedo that Gene. ral JuNcer is wounded and a prisoner at Lisbon ; but for the truth of this article our informants do not pledge themselves. They state positively, however, that the French ships at Cadiz have at length sur rendered to General. SPENCER, after a bombardment of four days, by the batteries. Lord COLLINOWOOD has arrived off Cadiz, to resume the command there. PLYMOUTH, JUNE 9. Last evening arrived the Pierre Caesar, a very beau tiful. French brig letter <marque, pierced for 18 gnus, from Martinico, laden with sugar, cotton, &c. fir Bourdeaux, captured by the SEINE, of 36 guns, after a smart chase, off St. Andero. Letters have been sent by this prize as late as the 4th instant, by which it is stated that the French have pcscession cf the coast from Bayonne to St. Andero inclusive ; and that there has been dreadful fighting, the nobility being in favour of the French, and disputing every inch of gruund with the populace in that limited district, who, it is stated, are in want of Generals, arms, and ammuni tion ; they marched int, St. Andero on the 23d ult. with 5000 men, and it is said that the boats of the COSSACK and COM rr slooiN of war were ashore at the time ; and that before they left it, they spiked all the guns, and blew the magazines. It is also report- 1 1 ed that BONAPARTE is marching to Madrid, at the i head of 100,000 men. This morning arrived the rIZIMROSE ship of war, from off Lisbon, with dispatches of importance. She kit the station the 25th ult. and it is reported that she brings an acco ent that the Portuguese had risen en mate, and that General JI;NOT, with 10,000 men, were shut up at Fort• St. Julien, and cut off from all supplies ; that he had offered to capitulate on certain conditions, but that it was riot known whether they were accepted. - The French fleet at Cadiz are stated to have sur rendered to the Spaniards, and that their crews have been landed and made prisoners. 1 . The PIUMROSE is said to have accompanied the !Ural gun-brig into the Tagus, a few nights previ ous to hei sailing, to cut out two valuable merchant ships, when a shot from a batteiy struck the RAPID between wind ind water, and sunk her immediately : it being quite calm, the boats of the PRIMROSE were enabled to save the whole of the crew. Thursday evening all the Spanish prisoners at Ply mouth, amounting to about 1500, were liberated from their long confinement, and embarked on board eight transports, for Ole purpose of being landed on the Spanish coast, to which it is expected they will sail to-day or to-morrow. The ALestENz frigate on friday sailed from For. mouth, for Colunna, with 730,000 - dollars, for the, use of the Spanish Patriots; and a Spanish Officer, who carries out to his gallant countrymen assurances of the farm and zealous partioipaCon of our Go vernment in the arduous struggle they are engaged The ALCMENS was to have carried out a number of liberated prisoners, but the importance of the dis . patches with which she was charged did not admit of the delay necessary to their being received on board. 1' k . ziminow.

The Dispatches from Sir CHARLFS Car Tow, clowti to the 14th of June, confirm the rpeirts of a general spirit of detestation of the French Govern ment in Portugal, in many parts of which it has been formally abolished, and that of the Prince Regent re-established. " By a letter from Capt. CREVKA of the Eclipse, dated Oporto, 20th June, it appears that, owing to the treachery of D'Ouviana, Governor of Oporto, (now confined as a Traitor), the French were ena bled to re-establish their authority, which they main tamed until the 16th of June, the day of Corpus Christi, when an attempt was made to carry the French Flag in tl e proctssiom. This enragel the po- ' pUlace to such a degree, that under the countenance of the Priests, they rose In a mass, broke open the Depots, supplied themselves with 94,000 stand of arms, and together with the Regulars formed a most determined and enthnsastic army. From this mo ment all French authority ceased, and every man, ei ther French or suspected of being inclined to the French interest, was arrested. The Bishop of OroaTo is elected Governor. An Army of 20,000 men was sent to meet the French, who with a corps of 900 men had marched within • six leagues of Oporto.—The Provinces Tres Mantes, Minho, and the Northern Part of Beira, have risen in arms to the amount of 100,000 men, inclusive of the force in Oporto. . 4. General SPENCER arrived off Lisbon in the. Scorr brig, on the 21th of June, and after commu nicating with Sir CHARLES COTTON, returned to join his Forces off Cape St. Vincent. A dispatch has also been received from Admiral Lord. GANintEn, incicsing a letter from Captain Dm sr, of the CossAcK, dated off St:Andero, 25th June, by which it appears that on the 234 i the French en ' tem:. the place, previous to Which , ho w e ver, the boats I of the CossAcx. and the COMET spiked all the guns in Fort St. Salvador De Ano and Fort Sedrea, and completely destroyed the Magazines, with 500 whole • barrels of powder, and a quantity of other stores. — The boats had just returned round Point De Ano, when a considerable body of French dragoons ap peared cn the left."

The boats were set on fire, and there is reason to fear that some of the crew became a prey to the flames, as only 12 have got ashore, who saved themselves by swimming. •. AMSTERDAM, JUNE M. From the latest advices from the Turlcish frontiers; it would appear that the Turks have resolved to crush the Servians completely.. It is said that they intend to enter Seriia at three points, with a force Oat least 150,000 men. . - The Austrians still have a cordon of 60,003 troop‘ on the frontiers towards the Ottoman territory. • ' Accdrding to letters from Munster, detachments of French troops'are daily passing* through that place, - on their march from theuiterior of Germany towardS Spain. In the Prize Court at Paris several American ves sels were condemned on the 7th inst. for having put into English ports, or having suffered their papers to be examined by. English cruizers.

Letters from Vienna of the 11th instant,' mention that the course of exchange had fallen corisideralAy within a &w days previous to that date. Cottons had begun to rise imprice ;. the Swiss and French were. the chief purchasers. There never was so great a. scar city of money felt in this, and other places where 'et- Changes have been usually done, asthere is at present. This is attributed to the great speculations which , ate making in colonial products.
