" T returnedlast night from Seville, after* having spent• eight days in that city. The Supreme Junta is perfectly organised in all its various departments. They are night and day employed, and go through an immensity of business. The army is on an highly respectable and formidable footing. The vanguard is at Carmona—it consists of about five thousand regulars, and as many volunteers. These, with what they have in other patts, are constantly at work, learning the use of arms, and to march In order—and as soon as they acquire a tolerable knowledge of these arts, they are incorporated in the veteran corps, at a certain mem ber per company. There will be a reinforcement of about ten , thousand more. Regulars march daily to the army from this place and its - environs, where they are no longer wanted, in con ' sequence of the surrender of the French fleet at discretion. " The repulse which the peasantry and about two thousand re gulars experienced, from about ten thousand French coming into Cordova, alarmed the people here very much ; but since the par tici:lW, have been well ascertained, every one appears in spirits. — The army has been well organized.

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE OF CADIZ. vm The commotion, more or less violent, which has taken place Is the whole peninsela of Spain, has been of eminent service to rouse us from the state of lethargy in which we indulged, r4l to make us acquainted with our tights, our glory, and the invio lable duty which we owe to our holy religion and our Monarch. We wanted some electric strike to reuse us Com our paralytic state of inactivity. We stood in need of a hurricane, to clear the atmosphere of the Insalubrious vapours with which it was loaded. Fortunately, the only effort which could save us has proved ea. cacious. It is, however, necessary to know, that if the use of he roic remedies be continued, after the good effect which was ex peeled from them has been obtained, they destroy, annlitl..! late, and kill; that excessive efforts bring qn indirect debility,' which is worse than direct weakness, because the very principle of strength is emaciated. Hence 4 is, that although the popular' ferment which has rer -^elcel all the provinces has been of condole-1 cable use, yet if not ck.ii, it will produce a state of putrefue lion; or, in other words, prove extremely destructive. It Is necessary to return to order, and to have confidence In the Magistrates, who, from their knowledge, studies, and expe- i rience, are able to deliberate, combine, and determine, as cir cumstanoes shall direct. Without the most intimate knowledge, the wisest are liable to dr, and how can a mob possibly steer clear of error, which is mostly guided by the cries of women and IS 10 secure boys. But not restricting myself to this city, I really believe, that all these observation: are perfectly weless, because the inhabitants of tkis city are more enlightened than any other, on account of their trade and intercourse with other nations. There are but few ideots in this city, who are merely guided, as it were, by in stinct ; and much smaller is the number of those, who,frons their vicious habits, can on;y exist in confusion and disorder. These few have been joined by others of the neighbouring districts, who neither enlist for the honourable and glorious service in which we are engaged, nor apply themselves to reap the plentiful crops with which Paovin elect has been pleased to bless us. These are the men who have not looked out for any other employment than that of disturbing the peace and tranquillity of this place, and of preventing therrest of the inhabitants, nay, the magistrates, from performing their duty. They are well known, and unless they amend their conduct, and all foreigners withdraw to their different habitations, they will certainly be punished. Well disposed persons will be obliged to take up arms,; they who arc not able to bear arms will be employed for other pur poses; ard boys neglected by their parents, and women who raise the hue and cry shall be punished. be troops, the whole town, the sword of justice, and above all, GOD himself, who avenges the wrongs of those who misuse his mercies, authorize and sueport me.

The Spanish Commissioners appointed by the Su. preme Council of Seville, to conclude a Treaty of Peace and Alliance between Great Britain and Spain, are arrived. The Commissioners are Admiral Don APODACA, and Major General Don JACOMIE. They are accompanied by two other persons of distinction, in the capacity of Secmaries. They landed at Ports. mouth on Thursday, amidst the acclamations of the, populace and the• ringing of bells. His Majesty's ship REVENGE, which brought them from Cadiz, was . , decorated with the Spanish flag, and her Commander, Sir Joror GORE, wore the cockade of the Patriots, l , with the inscription " Long live Ferdinand the Seventh." He was frequently on shore at Cadiz, and, when he first landed, such was the enthusiasm of all ran ks and descriptions, v;-d their high esteem for the Pritish character, that it was with great difficulty he could get excused from being carried by Ladies along the streets. The Commissioners reached town yesterday, and have already Iliad an interview with. Mr. Secretary GANICING. The accounts they bring confirm all those we haVe froin time to funk published, relative to the enthusiatic determination . of the braie Spaniards to extirpate their vile perfidious oppressors. Upon, this interesting subject Iteacbiti:s will find an import - as l'eteir from Cadiz dated the 18th June, an 4 other foal i 4 4 =lOl n a preceding column. , . 4 to add to the above, that the gale effective Ovulation were in arms on the arture oldie Conimiiioners, and in full march to Cordova, where the enemy, according to a variety of accounts, have long ere this been totally defeated. The frank confession of the Patriots of the reverse they experienced in the first inttapce, and their avowal of the causes which led to that event, are so truly ho_ nourable to their charactef, as to interest us more warmly, ifpossible, in their fate, and in spire more ardent hopes of the ultimate success of the glorious and God_ like cause in which they are engaged. The people will be taught the salutary lesson, that to be victo. flow, they must not only be united it their sentiments,' but steady and subordinate in their ranks and opera-" tions ; and obedience to these dictates will render them proudly invincible, and gloriously immortal. When the Commissioners left Cadiz, the contribu tions in aid of the war, notwithstanding the actual distressed state of Spain, were productive beyond all expectation. In Cadiz alone, themerchants furnished the sum of 350,000 hard dollars. Eight Thousand men were also raised in that city, completely armed, and on their march against the enemy. The re gular force and Militia in Seville and its vicinity, amounted to 40,000 men. There were, besides, 60,000 Vaunteers in arms. ,On the 13th of June the inhabitants of Cadiz were in hourly'expectation of official intelligence of the surrender of DUPONT. The Governor of Malaga, at the head of 18,000 men, had marched to co-operate with the Patriots, by whom he was surrounded at Cordova ; 'and no doubt is en tertained of the utter annihilation of the enemy's force in. that quarter. From Valentia, it is stated, that such was the inveteracy of the Spaniards towards the French, that upwards of 150 merchants resident in that province had fallen sacrifices to the indigna tion of the noble Spaniards at the attrocious perfidy of their Gallic oppressors. A few letters from Spain, as might be expected, express less sanguine hopes of ultimate success, than the generality of the communications from that country have expressed. Their fears rest upon the position that a people, however ardent and determined, is in capable of withstanding a regular army. The writer of one of these letters refers to the business at Cor dova, in support of his position. He states, that there are but few regulars, and that the militia, though numerous, are very ill organized. This writer adds, that threelears pay was due to the troops mho occu pied the camp of St. Roche, and that the pecuniary contribution from the Merchants of Gibraltar, was applied to discharge that debt before the troops marched- According to a letter from Cadiz of the 16th, this force, amounting to 24,000 regulars, was under General CASTANO4 at Carmona, together with about 50,000 armed peasantry, while General R.zmNo was with 9000 regulars and 11,000 peasants at Yaen. From the position of those two corps, the situation of DUPONT appears to be extreme, critical, Indeed, if the amount of his force be correctly stated, his sur render or destruction may be hourly looked for. Casrmase was, when the letter we cite was written, not above 18 leagues distant from him, and Remota was scarcely SO leagues, and both were rapidly march, ing towards Cordova. A letter from Madrid of the 20th ult. contains the following passage We are hemmed .in here se closely, that this is the last letter you should expect from me under the present circumstances, and I caea. not look fcr any communication from you, unless it comes by the way of Holland."—This letter implizi a most rigid and vigilant Government at Madrid.—] MURAT, and all the agents of BM...APART/4 are well acquainted with the organization of a rigcrous , We have seen a statement, in a letter "tom Cadiz of fee lEta, that above ;0 ) I roacl tam, as ha had been Imprisoned by the Constituted Autl orities atValencia, were taken out by the populace and murdered. We anxiously wish and hope that this statement may prove unfound-d; for however little compunction every man ough to feel in destroying an invader, armed for the conquest and subjugation of his country—when once d'sa.meci r -when once made, a prisoner—no matter under whnt eircursastances, he ought to be treated with hlunanity. At Cadiz, the French have been treated with the utmost liberality. All who have taken the oath of allegiance to the new Government, have been allowed to remain perfectly unmolested. Among .the number killed on board the French fleet, in Cadiz harbour, was Captain MARTINIQUE, of the Algesiras (formerly the Hannibal). The French Consul at Cadiz, Lzaoy, thought proper to fly for protection on board the French fleet, and has not since been heard of. PORTUGUESE PATRIOTS. The ship Brothers, Captain ISAACS, arrived at Ply mouth on Thursday from Barcelona, but last from Oporto, which place she left an the 26th ult —The intelligence brought by this vessel is in substance to the following effect That the Portnguese were in full possession of Oporto ; that they had 250 French soldiers in prison; that their commander was put on board of the Bri tish Squadroti off Lisbon ; that every straggling Frenchman that is foind, is sure to lose his life.

In the Calabrias the mass of the people are in full insurrection against the invaders, and the same spirit is spreading itself over the whole Neapolitan territories. The pretence for JOSEPH BONAPARTE leaving the seat of Government, to which he had been called, not by the voice of the people, but by the mandate of his brother, is the inzalitbrity of the air of Naples, which renders it necessary for him to accompany hi s ' wife, who suffered from it, to Milan. Let it be ob. served, that on publishing the proclamation alluded to in the letter, he set out not only for Milan, but for Bayonne, and that his real object was not the restora tion of the health of his wife, but their joint accession to the Throne of Spain : " PALERMO, MAY 31. • 4 You were informed in my last letter of the loss of Scylla and Reggio. This however is of little con. sequence, as the mass in Calabria have since that pe. riod had continual' skirmishes with the French in every quaker of both Calabrias. A few days ago, intelligence was received that the Calabrese mass had landed on the shore of Gijoa, after taking possession of the little fort, and killing all the garrison. They afterwards marched to the woods of Rosanna, where the French artd Neapolitan force attacked them. The action was bloody, and lased for several hours, but terminated to the advantage d the mass, many hundreds of the French and Neapo. litans were killed, and many of them taken prisoners, amongst whom, it is reported, is the Prince Strongoli Pignatelli. 64 It is clearly ascertained; that the French have conceatred themselves in Reggio, Scylla, and Monte. leon, and are beaten by the mass in every encounter, At Cosenza, both those who have been hitherto French partizans, and the mass, .have. revolted. This cam. pelled the French to-quit their I=cl quarters, and barn the hospital with 200 wounded French. The French partizans in general are believed, in cons.. quence of the cruelties and ill usage they have re. ceived from the French, to have repented, and to be disposed to make common cause with the royalists. - Should this be the case, the kingdom of Naples, to. gether with the capital, must revert to its legitimate master. “ The mass in the Abrnzao are very near Venasco, which is not mum than 40 miles from Naples. Not a month elapses, but they intercept the French mails anti dispatches from and to Naples, which they bring to Palermo. They lately intercepted a mail, and killed four French dragoons who escorted it, together with the courier. 64 It k seal oe'ly possible to express the fear with which the French in both Calabrias are actuated at this moment suffice it to say, that no one is allowed to be out of his house after nine o'clock at night, under pain of death. No one is allowed to go to church except on Sunday. Only one mass is allowed to be celebrated at a time, and then only in the presence of a sentinel, for fear the inhabitants should converse together. In the same manner they are prevented, as far as possible, from conversing together at home. The Cathedral alone is allowed to be opened on Sun. day, the other churches are shut. It remains to be seen, whether the Calabrese will suffer such a govear meat to exist. " From the news brought from Naples it is known that great want and misery prevail there.. The pa pulation are in despair, and are ready to revolt, but they ire not yet quite ripe for it, because our King does not wish them to carry it into practice at pre. sent. The poor people, therefore, suffer, in the hope that the King will at length send them succours, to enable them to carry such a project into effect. I doubt, however, whether the Neapolitans will any longer bear their sufferings. " Joseph Bonaparte has issued a Proclamation, sta• ting, that he had been obliged to accompany his- •e to Milan for the benefit of her health, the air aNs• ples not agreeing with her, and therefore recommen.
