These are the Gentlemen Officers. And what Shall we say to such insolent falsehoods ? The nation, from the lowest to the highest, think only of revenging the outrages sus. rained from French perfidy.

But, Spaniards, do not jcdge of the guiltless by the guilty. In France there are men who have not bent the knee to Baal.

Curficc, of . the Eclipse, dated Oporto, 20th June, it appears thin, owing to . the treachery of Don Otdvamt, Governor of Oporto, (now confined as a Traitor), the French wine ena: bled to re.establish their authority, which they main. tained until the 16th of June, the day of Corpus Christi, when an attempt was made to carry the French Flag in the procession. This incensed the po pulace to such a degree, that under the countenance of the Priests, they rose in a mats, broke open the I)epots, supplied th,:aselres with 25,000 stand of arms, and togeher with the Regulars formed a most 'determined and enthusiastic 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 OPoirro is elected Governor. An Army of 90,000 men was sent to meet the French, who with a corps of 900 men had marched within six leagues of Oporto.—The Provinces Tres Monte% Minho, and the Northern Parts of Beira, have risen in arms to the amount of 100,000 men, inclusive of the force in Oporto. 66 GCtleTal SPEWER arrived off Lisbon in the Scour brig, on the 24th of June, and after comm. nicating with Sir CHARLES Corrow, returned to join his Forces off Cape St. Vincent. 66 A disruch has also been received from Admiral Lord GAMBIER, inclosing a letter' mm Captain Dio. SY, of the Co..ssace, dated off St. Andero, 25th June, by which it appears that on the 23d the French en tered the place, previous to which, however, the boats of the CossacK and the COMET spiked all the guns in Fort St. Salvador De Ano and Fort Sedra, and completely destroyed the Magazines, with 500 whole barrels of powder, and a quantity of dther stores.— The boats had just returned rsund Point De Ano; when a considerable body of French dragoons ap peated on the hill." . ..- 'LITTER FROM AN OFFICER IN OUR rumr CRUIZINO OFF ids TAGUS, DATED JUKE 25.

A notice was posted up at Gottenburgh on the 30th ult. that the Swedish Fleet off the Coast of Finland had succeeded in capturing four Russian fri gates, four zebecks, and eight gun-boats, and also sunk four gun-boats. A Bulletin from the Admiralty made its appear., ante yesterday, grelative to the surrender of the French ships at Cadiz, and t'..e progress of the Portu guese patriots in following the animating example that has been set before them by the Spaniards. As a small part of yesterday's impression was printed before the Bulletin reached us, we have this day in serted a full copy. In the preceding columns we .have also glrw. -in addition to the ample, and interesting details which we yesterday laid before our readers, a number of valuable documents from the Spanish papers to the 2d inst. receivedyesterday, and from others which reached us this morning. The latter were brought by the Whim merchant man, which was, sent from Gibraltar on jhe 15th ult. with dispatchm for Governmen!. The dispatches have reachid the Secretary of State's Office, but their contents bavemot yet been made public. The following letter is from our regular corres ponded. Though part of the details which it pre sents are previous to the grand victcry ebLainaki over DUPONT, they are interesting : " GIBRALTAR, JUNE IS. 6 . 4 • The insurrection against the French in Spain is general through Out the whole country on this side of Madrid, and there areliotiveen 2 and 300,000 asps in arms. • . . 1! .“• The only action of any consequence that has as', . yet taken place, was at the bridge of Medea, near toiticva—the French under Gen. DUPONT, amounted tin. 0,000 men ; the Spanish General Cu kVANCE had only n thouland regular troops and 9000 peasantry, with which he engaged the French warmly for near iiiiii - bOurs before he was obliged to retreat ; which he did . siith very little loss. Meowv had between four and ite killed and wounded, as they were twice re-; . pulsed. with great loss in their attempt to cross the j ? bridge of Medea. "General pUPONT entered Cordova after the action; ' btse . hainot.thought fit to adiance any further till he recei4s..reinforcenients. " General; Sizmoca's army had landed near Ayn , motite, with, the intention of cutting off a corps of 5000 of the ea6ty, on their march to join General DUPONT. a , All the ports •of Spain in the Mediterranean are now open to English vessels ; which are every where received with the utmost cordiality—Sooo bar. rels of powder and several thousand musquets, have been sent to the Spaniards, from this Garrison ; but they are still much in want of arrns.

We have. a large f nein Sicily, and by the late measures in that island, we have reason to belie. that a considerable part of our trx , r might now tx. safely employed in an expedition t' some point of the opposite coast to assist the patriots. The German Papers speak of the probability of a war between AnOtria and Fnutee (an *vest by no means unlikely), in consequence of the anptincipied proceedings of BONAPARTE in Spun, against which , the Court of Vienna is stated to have remonstrateo. A French corps has entered Gluckstadt ; it is ins pected that BONAPARTE entertains similar designs to wards Denmark to those which he has in vain at tempted to execute iu Spain. The oppressed lsaues now begin to see their true interests. The most ge neral discontent prevails among them, and they do not hesitate openly to express their regret at the con duct of their Government towards England. Indeed, we do not despair of very shortly witnessing a total , chine of policy in all the principal Courts of Europe. The articles which respect the countries of the North have less interest, now that our attention is di- teeter to the South; yet there is one which ought not to be overlooked. The French are strengthening ' themselves in Silesia ; and it is added, that in order to relieve .the inhabitants of Silesia, the French soldiers are to occupy the fortresses in that province which tLe Prussians have hitherto retained. We think the effect of such an intimation is rather strengthenened than weakened by the observa tion that it is only a report ; for such a suggestion,' . given without authority to the public, is an indirect an. nunciation'of the general feeling, that peaceis itill • uncertain; and the War likely to be renewed. The Austrian intelligence certainly does not run counter' to this opinion. _ A Telegraphic Dispatch reached the Admiralty this morning, announcing the arrival of the BITTERN at Portsmouth, from the Mediterranean, with two Envoys frcin Turkey on board.
