"MOST FAITHFUL INHABIT ANTS OF THE ISLAND OP CUBA. b " The insatiable and fatal ambition of the oppres le - sor of mankind, made us foresee that Spanish Ame- p rica would enter into the plan of his usurpation, as I b indicated to you in my Proclamation of the 12th of „ March last ; and I ought now to inform you, that he L. - has effectually begun to realize them by the same in- sidious means he practised in Europe. gg I am positively informed, that the intrusive Jo- seph Bonaparte, the faithful executor of his sangui- nary and subversive Decrees, has sent an emissary to a the United States, accompanied by incendiary satel- o lites, encharged with spreading the fire of division and discord among us, the favourite weapon of the P. treacherous tyrant, which has obtained him laurels 11 enamelled with robberies and innocent blood. " It is true, lila after his impious and atrocious operations, and in consequence of the sublime loyalty and patriotism inseparable from the Spanish name, he has not been tble to entertain the least hope of find- ing or gaining partizans in these regions ; bat the re- 2 sources of his infamous arts being incalculable, which a fatal el - since has shown us, it is to be presumed, aa: will take the oblique course of involving us in in- / testine dissentions, by means of impositions, calum- nies, 'and seductions, in order to benumb our co-ope- rations in favour of the glorious national insurrection, s to interrupt and diminish the advantages which the t heroic English nation derives from our commerce, and / applies towards the expences of the holy war, and by / this order of things, to prepare the subjugation of Spain, the conquest and desolation of England, and finally, the dominion and slavery of the Americans. In the knowledge thereof, we should be criminals of ' the most abandoned nature, if, by considering his de- signs impracticable, we were to forget taking the ne- cessary measures to apprehend the above-mentioned satellites, stopping the fire in its origin, and pc , ll:Ts preventing it only by taking anticipated and reason- able measures. Se Flatter myself, that the Chiefs, Magistrates, and all classes of inhabitants, will endeavour to excel each other in watching and prosecuting them, that they may not be able to conceal themselves under any , disguise, and in order to ensure greater success, I or- der and command, " Ist, That the Governor of Cuba, the Lieutenant. tind other Justices, shall make known by proclama- tions, or in any other way, not to permit any person , whatsoever to disembark in their district, who should ' come in a vessel proceeding from a foreign port, with- out his being first visited by the proper officer or per- ' son appointed to that effect, under the penalty of 1000 ' dollars to the contravener thereof, as well as the Cap- tain, to be applied to the expences of the war ; and if it should be proved that any person is an agent of the French, he will incur the utmost rigour of the ' law. 6 ' 2d, In the act of visiting, they will examine mi- nutely the manifest, roll d'equipage, passports of the crews and passengers, and endeavour to observe and apprehend whoever should come disguised. " 3d, They will enquire into the nature and object of the coming of the passengers, without permitting them to disembark, unless they give the necessary se- curity, answerable for their conduct. " 4th, They will collect the letters in their posses- sion, which they will deliver to the persons they are directed to, obliging them to shew that part which relates to the object of their arrival, to compare it with the verbal infcrmation of the btarer of said let- ters, respecting the motives of his coming. ee sth, They will give me information of said pas- sengers, their property, the object of their voyage, I and the ohz.ervations they may have made, in the act of visiting the vessel or afterwards. " 6th, T hey will enchatge the Captains of vessels to give them daily advice of the existence of the it crew, that in case any one should disappear, he may be taken up immediately ; al-io taking care that all should return in the same vessel. " 7th, As respe;ts vessels proceeding from out own ports, they will take care to examine the passports of Use passengers, inquire the object of their coming, nbserve their conduct, and advise n.e thereof, as or- dered in w tick sth. 4' Bth, They will endeavour to enforce, with great exactness, articles 82 and 83 of . the ordinance of po- lice, wherein it is decreed, that every person who p hires a house or ro,ni, or whoever takes boarders, shall immediately give the information thereof to the police officers.

We have seen several letters from the English pri soners in France, (brought by the cartels, the arrival of which we announced yesterday). They all speak in confident terms of the speedy restoration of Peace between the two countries—an expectation -which is at this time very generally entertained throughout the French empire, and most anxiously desired and wished for by people of all ranks throughout that country. In consequence of this expectation, the situation of our prisoners had been for some time past greatly ameliorated ; their confinement is now by no means rigorous, and eatra allowances of provisions have been granted. Such of the women and children as are able, are permitted to work, and, provisions of all kindSbeing plentiful and cheap, they are enabled to live tolera bly well, and to render the captivity of their husbands less irksome. The prisoners who last came over ex perienced the most marked kindness from the inha bitants of the places through which they passed, many of whom would continually shake them by the hand, congratulate them on their return home, and ex press the most fervent wishes for the return of peace. A French General, whose name we believe is SER ROHM, was picked up at sea, on Monday, by one of our cruizers, off the French coast. He was accom panied by a black servant, and had escaped in a fish ing-boat from Boulogne, where he was second in corn- mand. He was brought on shore at Dover, and con ducted by the Agent for Transports to the Ship Inn, where he remained without being allowed to hold a communication with any person until yesterday at eleven o'clock, when Mr. SHAW, the Messenger, arrived from London, and proceeded immediately to town with the General and his servant. It was at first rumoured that General SERRURIER was the bearer of dispatches to Government, but this report does not seem to be correct. He is said to have fallen under the displeasure of NAPOLEON, and has taken the sin gular resolution of coming into this country to save his life. The following letters from Galicia were brought by the GOLDFINCH : " H. M. ARZTRUIIA, Corenna, May 29. " The peasants in the Province to which Corunna belongs [Galicia] manifest a most zealous attach ment to the cause of their country, and the utmost zeal for its success. If we May credit the statements which reach us, many thousands are anxiously ex pecting to receive arms from the British, to enable them to take the field against the enemy. • " A British Officer and six seamen have come in here from the enemy ! They enlisted into the French service from the prison at Verdun, in the hope of finding some means to escape. They deserted some days ago from the French army, at Gijon, about 170 miles from Corunna. When they quitted the enemy's quarters a general expectation prevailed that the troops would soon receive orders to march from Gijon to Cadiz. THE ARMY. We believe there is no truth whatever in resorts that have been circulated ah)ut intentions to withdraw our troops from Portugal. • At this moment there are about 40,000 tro6ps, composed of Portuguese, com manded by British Officers, and so well disciplined, that it is thought some real service may be effected by their means; but to prevent accidents, the British force in Portugal is immediately to receive a consi derable reinforcement by drafts from different regi ments at home. The 18th Hussars marched on Monday from Arundel to Deal, to embark. The South Devon regiment of Militia marched in to Brompton Lines, from Exeter, on Thursday and Friday last. This regiment has been five weeks on its march, during which, its route has bees changed several times. Monday last, the North Hants regiment of Militia marched from Berryhead for Kingsbridge, and the South Hants from Kingsbridge for Maker Heights, in the room of the Dorset, the first,division of which regiment marched the same morning for Weymouth, and was to be followed by the second division next morning. A few mornings since, the Loyal Whitechapel Vo lunteers, Lieutenant-Colonel HARDY Commandant 4 mustered 400 strong in Hackney Fields, and were inspected by Colonel ADDENBROOK, District Inspect ing Field Officer, and had a grand field dap, when they went through the' different evolutions with great satisfaction to the Field-Officers, and a number of spectators ; after which they marched in good order to the Tenter-ground, Goodman's-fields, where tents were pitched on the occasion, and partook of an ele gant dinner, after which music and dancing succeeded till nine in the evening,. when ten silver medals were delivered to the respective Captains, to be fired for at targets some future day. The Ist Regiment of Wilts Local Militia, com manded by Sir C. W. MALET, Bart. closed its period of duty at Marlborough, on Tuesday, the 28th ult. The steadiness and good discipline of this regiment were warmly commended by Lieut.-Colonel BAL COMB, Inspecting Field Officer, who inspected it pre vious to its separation. Friday evening previous to their separation, the regiment paraded in the Castle Inn-gardens, where, being formed into a circle, a su perb sabre, voted by the corps of O ffi cers to Sir C. W. MALET (who had been theirCommandingofficer many years as Volunteers) was presented to him by Lieut. Colonel HINXMAN, in nearly the following words : SIR CHARLES—In the name of my Brother Officers and my. self I beg leave to present you with this small token of our respect and esteem ; and at the same time permit me to assure you, with the greatest sincerity, that it adds not a little to the satisfaction we feel in the performance of the sacred service we have under taken. That it has fallen to our lot to be again placed under the Command of an Officer whose whole life, civil and military, at home and abroad, has been devoted to his country , and whom many years experience has taught us It is no less a pleasure than a duty to obey." The loss of a beloved nephew (who fell in defence of his King and Country, the intelligence of whose death had only reached him a few hours before) pre vented Sir C. MALET from replying so much at large and so audibly as he wished, but he assured the Offi cers of the inestimable value he placed on so flattering and unexpected a mark of their esteem, of his deter mination to wear it as long as nature would allow him, and when he could no longer wield it, to trans mit it to his children as in incitement to the laudable ambition of becoming like them defenders of their country. Sir CHARLES concluded by thanking, in very handsome terms, the Lieutenant Colonel and Officers, for their uniform and zealous co-operation, " We have received certain accounts here that and retired amidst the loud and repeated cheers of JEPFERY, who was left on the island of Sombrero, is the whole regiment. certainly alive. I dined yesterday with the Master of The men then filed off to a separate part of the garden, and partook of bread and cheese provided by the Henry transport (Mr. LESSLY) in company with Sir CHARLFS, and drank the healths and lor)g life to a Mr. DENNIS, the very person who took JEFFERY their King and Colonel in good old Marliyirough ale. off Sombrero. After reaching America, JEFFERY CORK, JUNE 2, 1810. took to his original trade of blacksmith.

On the 29th ult. the Roscommon Regiment of Mi litia was reviewed in a field, near Wexford, by Major- General GROSE, when the regiment went through n variety of evolutions and firings, with a steadiness and precision that would do credit to veterans, and which was noticed by the General in a very handsome com pliment to their commander, Colonel CAULFIELD. On the 31st, the Duke of BRUNSWICK OELS troops, consisting of dismounted Cavalry and Light Troops, (the Cavalry a fine body of men, 600 strong) disem barked at Monkstowu, and passed through this city on their way to the new barracks. The light troops landed at Cove, and proceeded to Middleton, &c. " CORUNNA, MAY 2q. We shall have finished our fortifications here by l the next week, and aFter these are completed, we are to proceed to the works intended on the Hill of St. Marguerita, at the distance of half a mile from the town. A citadel is there to be erected, because if an enemy occupy that elevation, the fortifications at Ccrunna might be destroyed in a few hours. a There are at Astorga about 1500 of the - enemy, =kin Asturias 5000. The French have four Mar. shals on the frontiers of Portugal, among whom is MASSENA. We are under no apprehensions here, for before they can attempt any thing against us, they must beat the English and Portuguese."
