PORTUGAL. , I COIMBRA, JULY IS. PROCLAMATION OF ADMIRAL COTTON. " The undersigned Admiral, commanding the fleet of his Britannic Majesty on the coast of Portu gal, loses not a moment to make known, that he has received an express from the loyal inhabitants of Sines, and to assure them, as well as every true and loyal Portuguese, engaged in a just, honourable, and glorious cause, such as the re-establishment of its rightful Prince, that all the support lying in the power of his Britannic Majesty's fleet shall be given. '. Captain Smith, commanding his Britannic Ma. jesty's ship Comus, is charged to deliver this express, and instructed to proceed to Sines, in order to lend a prompt aid immediate assistance. .. The British Admiral undersigned can assure the inhabitants of Sines, and the whole kingdom of Portu gal, that the most energetic, valorous, and decisive efforts have been displayed with the' completest suc cess to frustrate the perfidious designs of the French against the independence and even the existence of this nation. The French ships in Cadiz have been battered and compelled to surrender to the brave Spaniards- 7 -the people are in every part risen in arms and the result cannot fail of proving glorious. Simi lar energy mast be attended with the same success in Portugal, and thus will the inhabitants of both king doms hold an equal right to the esteem, applause, and admiration of Europe. " The undersigned has received deputations from the provinces of the North of Portugal, already hi arm" swearing to re-establish the Government ofl their legitimate Prince, and to resist their oppressor' At Oporto; Viana, in Entre, Minhote,Doio, and pait of Beira, 100;000 Portuguese have risen in arms—. and if their gallant countrymen k the South unite themselves to them, they cannot fail overthrowing the small band of Frenchmen now occupying the capital; but to vanquish, unanimity is requisite—let them not be intimida..ed by menaces, or colnipted by promises ' —let them bravely and resolutely de termine to rescue themselves from oppression, and to restore the Go- I vehement of their lawful Prince. General Junot has even in his last edict, of the 26th of June, fabricated the most sanguinary threats against the inhabitants of Portugal—they are threat ened with the destruction of the most loyal and popu lous cities, and their inhabitants doomed to the point of the sword by a handful of men, amounting at most to ten thousand, bearing no comparison to the popu lation of Portugal. Woe to the criminal oppressors, if the loyal Portuguese encounter them fearless—the righteousness of its cause must triumph. Noble en thusiasm pervading the ranks can never be daunted, if all access to. seclaction be precluded. A vigorous rezistance cppjo:ned to the energetic efforts now ex-, erring by your valorous neighboiirs and. friends, the Spaniards, resolutely engaged in the same glorious cause, must have the happiest issue—as yet there are thousands in Portugal anxious to emulate the deeds of their forefathers in loyalty and glory. I repeat it to each loyal Portuguese, that all the aid, of which his Britannic Majesty's fleet is capable. shall be given' s in behalf of a cause so just, glorious, and honourable • as the restoration of its lawful Prince, in whose nam2i the Standard ought to have been raised in the South, as has le en done in the North, for all the loyal to re- pair to.

MY Lonns—l have laid before my Sovereignthe Letter which you were authorised by the Junta of the Principality of Asturias to deliver to me, together with the powers entrusted to you by the Junta, en treating, in their name, his Majesty's assistance. His Majesty desired me to assure your Excellencies that he feels the warmest interest in the resolution of the Principality of Asturias, to sustain against the atroci ous usurper of Fiance a contest in favour of the inde pendence of the Spanish Monarchy. That his Ma jesty is disposed to grant. every kind of assistance to efforts so magnanimous and praisewoithy. 44 His Majesty has, therefore, ordered me to declare, that no time shall be lost in embarking for the port of Gijon the succours that you require, as being the most pressingly necessary ; he will besides send a naval force, capable of protecting the coast of Astu rias against any attempt whieli France may make. and of introducing troops by sea into the country._ His Majesty will make further efforts in support of so just a cause. " His Majesty has also ordered me to declare in your Excellencies his readiness to extend the same succours to every other part of the Spanish Monarchy which may be animated by the same spirit with the in habitants of Asturias, as well as his Majesty's sincere desire to renew those ties of friendship which subsisted so long between the two nations, and to direct his united efforts against any power which may evince hostile intentions against Spain, as well as Great . Britain. " I rnommend to yew ExcellencieS to communi cate, as soon as possible, to the Junta, the manlier in which his Majesty has received the proposals transmit ted by your Excellencies.

One of them stated, that Generals WELLESLEY and SPescsa bid formed a junction--another, ' that they were preparing to form a junction the former is incorrect, owing probably to the hurry of the trans cribing Clerk. Dispatches were also received from Lord Cot . LiNowooo, with an Official account of the ditrrender of Duroat. In the battle of Baylen, which preceded the surrender, the French lost 3000 men ; and it is known that General CAirrA.Nos setoff immediately after with a strong force fer Madrid.' , f i. The following are the Bulletins thM-were issued. 'The first was circulated to the Westward ; the other was posted at Lloyd's : BULLETIN. • ', Dispatches have been received from Sir C. Cnnois: they were brought by the ENCOUNTEa gun-brig, which lift Sir C. COTTON'S fleet on the 3d of August. These dispatches state in substarce,lhat Sir ART aux Wais.rsLey had landed at Figueira ea the Ist of August, and had immediately commenced his march , for Lisbon. •Genera SrEwcza joined Sir C. Cov•rom on the lit of August, and proceeded, without loss of time, to form a junction with Sir A. Weicaster. '5 Dispatches have also been received from Lord Goatruc 'woon, which contain an official account of the surrender of Ge neral Dv roam. It appears that the French had socv men kilkd in the battle of Baylen, which took place the day previous to the surrender. General CASTANOS was advancing with his army .wards Madrid.' BULLETIN. " Mr. Bastuco, the Messenger, arrived this morning from off the Tagus, which he left on the 3d instant. Oent rals WELLIS. Ler and SPENCER had formed a junction, and landed all their troops. A summons had been sent to lonoT, who prcpc.sed to capitulate on certain conditions, to which, however, his brother Officer, General Laboanz, would r.oL consent.—The Portuguese were in arms, and bad joined the British in great numbers. ioNOT had not been able to correspond with France for nearly ten weeks." Some of the private letters state that Genera' SpaNcei had landed his force at St. 'Ube's ; but in this we think there must be some mistake. Oporto Papers to the Ist instant inclusive have been received. They afford hardly any intelligence of mo-1 ment. General LWOW, we should suppose, must have effected a junction with Jutior about the middle 'of last month. His force could not at most have exceeded WO men ; and if it be true, as is stated in' Sir CHARLES COTTON'S Proclamation, that the army which occupies the city of Lisbon, and the forts in the neighbourhood, do not amount to more than 10,000, the reduction of Jcnor will not be so tedious or difficult an enterprise as we had reason to appre hend. It seems that Lorenz had been a good deal harassed in his retreat. As to the probability of Juror's surrender wlthnut a battle, no man can speak with any thing like rea son. It depends on so many circumstances with which we are unacquainted, that any opinion on the subject mist he .vague. It woull appear to be his most judi cial proceeding to capitulate, as it would be Sir AR• THUR WILLISLEY'S policy, to accept it, and to grant him easy terms. His position is so strong that be might hold out a long time, and it is for the interest of the allies that our army should be speedily released tfrom this 'service, that it may proceed on anotljer.— But much must depend or: the character of JUNOT -himself, and there is no drawing conclusions from our views of the subject as to his probable conduct. It is even not improbable that Sir ARTHUR WEL tastwx may .postpone any attack upon JuNoT till the force under Sir HARRY BURRARD shall have arrived. It is good to make assurance double sure. 0 , - Other dispatches were received this morning from Liktt Coawnwoo.), off Cali;, brought by the RED- I wow, of 19 guns, which arrived at Plymouth on I Sunday. The Raowixo left the fleet off Cadiz on 1 the 91st ult. She was gfteen days . on her passage, and came in under jury.masts, having suffered much I in a squall ten days before her arrival. These dis patches add nothing to the accounts received yester day ; they are simply a confirmation of the sur render of Durowr. The Spanishschooner Caroline, JOAQUIN DE MAY NA, a Lieutenant of the Spanish Navy, Commander, .bound from - St. Sebastian to Buenos Ayres, with dis patches from the Grand Duke of BERO, has also ar rived at Plymouth—whether sent in as a prize, or brought in by the Commander from a 'sense of duty to his country, we have not learnt. From the'Captain of a vessel which arrived yester day from the Weser, we understand that the Austrian army is in the highest state of preparation.

The Stewartry of Kirkcudbright Volunteers, corn ' man" tided by Sir ALEXANDRA GORDON, of Culvennaa, -have unanimously agreed to transfer their services into the Local Militia. The 2d Royal Tower Hamlets regiment of Militia, in the King's duty at Deptford, volunteered their ser • vices on the 24th of last month, to serve in Spain.— This regiment was one of the first that volunteered' for Ireland last-war. It is composed chiefly of War wickshire, Leicestershire, and Gloucestershire men, and will not, on any account, if they can possibly avoid it, enrol a Londoner. The report of the Cambridgeshire Militia having volunteered their services for Spain, as stated in all the papers, is not correct. 1 The letters received from Bencoolen by the WIND* HAM state, that the Malays, on the night of the 234 December last, attacked the Government House, and unfortunately succeeded in murdering Mr. PARR, the British President, before a military force could he opposed to them. We understand some regulations had been recommended respecting the cultivation of their vineyards, which would h av e proved bene ficial to their interests, but which they disliked, and in consequence remonstrated on the occasion, which Mr. PARR had attended to, and given orders that their request should be complied with, but unfortu nately, the orders were not issued time enough to pre vent this unfortunate business.
