This event , there is every reason to i i ii . , , has before this time taken place ; but when *Dario Batp *rote, it had not : he was, how , on the point of joining Sir JOHN Moon:, whose w o d.quarters were then at a distance of about twenty "), miles. This intelligence is highly satisfactory. The com . pooication between the two armies was already esta blished ; nor did it experifnce any interruption : and t h e y might be said to have formed a line extending From Benevento to Torn. The Marquis DE TA Ro yoa, who had collected a well organized force of between 20 and 50,000 men at Leon, had marched from thence, for the purpose, it was supposed, of at tcking a French division at Burgos, and which, it u generally supposed, he would have very little iculty in subduing; and the position of the British o was at the same time so advantageous, as to the most favourable result from their future The French Army may prosecute their advantages l 2 line towards the South ; but whilst the British srces possess the means of pressing upon any }lard. ilar part of the line of their communication with ranee, ►he enemy must at all times be exposed to INe possibility of being cut off from those points berm they are to expect the arrival of reinforce tents. Besides which, it is said that such a commu- Aitation had been established with the army of Ito. r.t, as would enable the British and Spanish brces to effect a direct concentration, whenever such measure should be deemed necessary ; and thus Auld the Allies, in case of emergency, be able to oppose to the enemy an army of 60,000 men, induci ng 40,000 British troops, a force competent, we rust, to the task of maintaining itself against any fivision which the enemy can now spare to send tiliast it, and certainly capable of s"ccessfully en sauntring the reinforcements now on their march to ktio the French artny in the heart of Spain. The above accounts were brought by the SWALLOW, ef Visiuns, arrived at Plytnouth.

He employs his whole forte to avenge his Generals and his beaten and dispersed armies, put to flight or taken prisoners. Nothing ob structs the exertions of a tyrant, to dispeople Prance is of no moment to him, and he wantonly sacrifices all her youth to satisfy his ambition. Fired cities, de stroyed towns, fields covered with dead bodies, are sights perfectly indifferent to the lee ings of a despot who appreciates no other interests than those of a des perate family. " Such, Portuguese, is the character of him against whom we must defend ourselves. What would become of Portugal if the French armies, after the conquest of Spain, should enter our provinces ? If a twelve month back, when they entered the country as friends, they marked their steps with conflagrations, robberies, -and crimes the most atrocious ; if, after they had usurped the Supreme power without oppo sition, they spoliated the sacred temples, imposed enormous contributions, attacked the liberty of indi viduals, sacked cities, fired towns, and committed atrocities which only belong to barbarous nations, what will not those devastating armies perpetrate in a country, the inhabitants of which gloriously de clared with one voice in favour of liberty and inde pendence. a To arms, Portuguese ! to arms 1 Necessity ex acts the rising of the whole nation in a mass ; arms in the strong hands of a defender of his country, are decisive implements of triumph. Government pro vides for the maintenance of the armies ; and where the ordinary resources of the public revenue are not sufficient, the donations of subjects, who know ho nourably to sacrifice to their country the property it requires, supply the deficiency. " Shall it perhaps be said, that we are not the de scendants of those valiant Lusitanians who triumph ed over the valour and perfidy of the Roman armies? Were not the Arab's inured to war ; expelled from the kingdoms by our forefathers ? Was it not our na tion which struck. the coast of Africa with terror, and established in the East a vast Empire ? I lave we not known at times how to defend the Crown of our Sovereign and our National Independence? Eng land. generous England, whose invincible squadrons render every project of invasion an object of deri sion, have set us an example, which we must imitate. " Impelled by the noble stimulus of defending the liberty of Spain, and opposing a barrier to the gene ral dissolution of Europe, she supplies us with arms, orderS her armies to march to the fold of honour, and liberally devotes her treasures to defence of our country ! " And, should sea, who are much more concerned in that defence, suffer ourselves to remain in inactivity and stupor ? Shall our children say, that our valour and our heroism existed but a few months, to pro voke the indignation and barbarity of the conquerors But you will not hear these imprecations . ; because they will go to linger out their lives far froM you ; they will go to remote countries to serve for involuntary tools of the oppression and misery of other nations ; but you will see them leave your homes, torn from your clasping arms, and invoking in vain the name of the country which gave them birth. Portuguese, against a powerful and watchful enemy, indolence and inac tivity must not be admitted. " If you do not wish to be slaves, if you do not wish to see your holy religion outraged, your honour defiled, your wives insulted, your innocent children stabbed with French bayonets, and the glory of Por tu4Tal annihilated for ever, let us all hasten to meet the common enemy ; let us join our armies with those of the brave Spaniarsls, and intnopid English ; let us show to Europe that it is not Swed..n alone who op poses an iron barrier to the oppressor of liberty. " Let us le, what rte always were, brave, intrepid, and invincible. Let our arms and property be the guaranties of oor independence. It is better to sacri fice our property to the liberty of the country, than to reserve it for the sp ,ilat'ot of our infamous oppr4s son. It is beaer to fight for the iwkpendence of the nation, than to become victims of the caprices of a tyrant. A nation determined to be free, caoot be enslaved by any power on earth ; a nation riling, in mass is an irresistible force. It is thus, Portuguese. that the Governors of the kingdom address you, in the name of that religion which they are bound to protect—in the name of the Sovereign for whom they are ready to sacrifice their lives—and in the name of the country-, whose in terests have been entrusted to them by the virtuous Prince, whose glory it is to have first of all discon certed the projects of the most perfidious of meu. By thus addressing you, they perform the first of their duties, sheaving you the ruc?ssity of opposing withent delay, to the efforts of a barbarous usurper, the whole mass of the forces of a valorous 'nation. They point outgo you the only way to preserve the independence of these kingdoms, and they will have the sweet conso latory satisfaction to reward, in the name of the Prince Regent our lord, those of his subjects who shall distinguish themselves by heroic and, patriotic deeds. . . . . . " Death, desolation, and grivirkrOisnat expect . . a& front the invasion otyotir barbatotlitoeray—,honeir, glory, and independeke, will reward your heroism. It .wnnld be an insult to a gallant nation to Propose the alternative to choOselet us hasten to the field of glory. " The Universe has fixed its eyes on you, yOur Prince observes, and your Nobles invite you !--:-Death or Victory ! if: the motto of our good neighbour.--A life without honour has no value !—.To have defen ded and libeiated ear native country, is the greatest of all pleasures ! (Signed) it Jos. ANTON(O. 4 ' SOHD. MANDOUZA." "Pstace of Government, 9th December, 1808..' . A Proclam a ti on from Lisbon, dated the Palace of Covernment, Dcc. 9. calls on the whole nation to rise in a mass to defend their country, and Oppose as linsurmountable barrier against the French. The Lisbon G:: Bette of the 13th of Dec. also con tans a decree issued by the Council of War, acid dated Dec. 11, requiring the whole Portuguese peo ple to arm theinselves in every manner in their power, and especially with pikes of six or seven feet in length. The Military Governors of the proVinces are requested to make out and transmit lists of such persons as, by their activity and abilities, are proper to receive a command. Their general arming is to include all persons from the age of fifteen to sixty. Letters from Lisbon, dated Decembei 15, men tion a rumour there, on good authority, that a large French corps had been again repblsed in an at tack upon Saragossa. This corps is supposed to be that of Marshal NEY, which is mentioned in a siery strange manner in the 16th Bulletin, as arrived at Guadalaxara, coming from Saragossa. THE ARMY. The Troops erribatking at Ramsgate with those ordered for embarkation at Cork, will amount to about 15,000 men, and their destination, should no ulterior circumstance intervene, is certainly Cadiz, in order to co-operate with the Spanish forces in the defence of the passes of the Sierra Morena. Sir AR. TIWIL WELLastEv, who is gone to Ireland for the purpose of urging the embarkation from that point, has the command of this division, with Major-General SPENCER as his secoild ; and mach may be expected from the talents and combined powers of these Officers. Every exertion is making in the diTerent depart ments to equip and scad off the first part of the new Expedition to Spain. It will consist of nearly 11,000 men. The zealous .exertions of the Admiralty, Transport, Army Medical, and Naval Boards, 'on the present occasion, are really praise-worthy. The utmost exertions arelikewise used in the department of the Store-keeper-General. The German Horse Artillery, a brigade of Foot Guards, the 2d battalioh Bth Regiment, and Ist battalion Kith Regiment, are embarking at the same moment in this country, that the Royals, and 2d battalion 83d, and some other corps, are embarking in Ireland; and the 73d High landers, undefCclonel M'QuAttatte, and several other corps, in Scotland. -• The Royals are the only heavy dragoons to be sent off with the first part of the expedition : but it is understood that all the cavalry regiments, formerly intended for this service, and which were lately enumerated in the STAR, will follow the first part of the expedition immediately ; and that the two fine regiments of German Light Artillery, the 16th Light Dragoons, the Blues,and 4th Dragoon Guards, will be the first to go. The first part of the expedi tion is under the orders of that very excellent and po pular Officer, Major General SPENCER. He has under him : :Major-General MVARAT, of the Maltese Corps (formerly of the Guardal. tAMPRZLE, of the Guards. Titsox, of the 44th t cement. Lieutenant. CCIOTIA TUCKER, DeputylAdjutant-General. 'l•he Rt Mr. Owts, Deputy Chapiain-General, with many OGicers of the Generals Staff, gu off with this branch of the -_aprdit ion. Tr. Homvt, Physician, Mr. Bit Lt. Staff Surgeon, JAMES, Purveyor, and "Mr. GRAHAM, Apothecary, are attached to this part of the Ix2edition. The 4th battalion of the Scnts Royals, and the 2d battalion of the Connaught Rangers, embark with the next division of the expedition—as well as the 68th and 77th regiments. The 77th is commanded by that able Officer Colonel WHIT ELOCk. Mr. JOHN Tnormn, jun. the Deputy Store-keeper General, and Commissioner BROWN, of the Transport Board, have joined the army in Spain, to superintend , the bils;ness of their different departments, with the iatge 1 5 ,ritish army now collected in that quarter; and Cae Physician-General is to be sent from the Medical Board to the same quarter. This is laudable atten tion from the different Boards to the public service. Yesterday the UNDAUNTED frigate, Captain MA- ! LING, arrived at Portsmouth from Lisbon; several officers of the army came home by her; and the ac counts which they bring are the most satisfactory.— Perfect tranquillity and the best understanding have been restored in Portugal. The whole of our army I left in Portugal were on the march to Spain, accompa nied by four brigades of Portuguese troops, to assist Me " Patriot Spaniards." General MooßE's army will, therefore, long before this time, exceed 60,000 men.

We stop the preii to state; that PriThite Letters haire been received this morning from Spain, stating that Marshal Som.? was at Stklanha, with two divi: sions of the French Arthy, amounting to about 20,000 Men, and it was also knosvn that he had re. ceived orders to advance With this force, for the pur pose of attacking the Province of Galicia. This important fact was ascertained by means of an intercepted letter, which seas fouud in the pocket of an Aide-de-Carnp of BONAPARTE% who was killed by the pea.-.nts. ~. _ . tioLi.AND. . .

All the doggers that took goods from hence have been seized, and their crews sent on board ships of war; "A large lugger priiateer, manned with 40 French and 20 Dutchmen, is just ready for sea at Rotterdam, and will be out in a week. We sincerely hope that some of our cruizers will intercept this lugger in he career, and transfer her to a British port.
