SPAIN. last Some very important intelligence operations of the Spatiish.patriots has .--Captain TRENturrr, of his Majesty's !, is arrived from Corunna, which he 'th instant, and has brought with him of the States of Galicia, who arrived in ty at two o'clock. The following are circulated among the friends of Ad- main had gone with a flag of truce into respecting some sailors. He was received , st cordiality, and was invited on shore. ling, all the English prisoners, to thel other of 120, were liberated and given up to him, sa d he was requested to attend an Assembly ofth e t uts of the Province, which had unanimously dud the Asturians in an insurrection against the p ony of the French. He was informed in the sit, t ig of the Assembly, of the state of affairs, and as the turnost anxiety was expressed that Great Britain could make common cause with the Spaniards, they ! masted his opinion, whether he thought it prefem- Ile that the States should make their application to Great Britain by letter or by a deputation ? Captain Imam having recommended a deputation, two expectable Nobles were selected for the mission, who embarked with him in the ALCMENF. u The substance of the information brought by the A L o t rig is as follows :—That the whole North of Srinvrasactually in a complete state of insurrection ; o ut there were 350,000 men in arms ; that a body of 1 0,000 men had marched towards Madrid, of wh;ch NM, under General CUESTA, an experienced offi rr, were Spanish troops of the line. That the corps el Spaniards which were quartered at Oporto, in For *gal, had made themselves masters of all the French is that town and neighbourhood, had executed . the French commander, and marched towards Spain to their brothers 'in arms ; that the people of Andalusia lad also risen ; that they had put to death the Mar pis At SOLANO, in consequence of his having ordered *disgraceful submission to the French; and that the militia of Andalusia had taken possession of the passes of Sierra Morena, and were fortifying them. 6 Several other Noblemen; among whom are the Com ae ToRRE FRESNO, General Tituvu.t.o, and Baron AisaLa, have, on the , same account, fallen a ;wince to popular indignatiob. FILANGERI com mands the Patriots in Galicia, and, under him, anion other Officers of great merit and experience, • Mr. Vies, whom we understand to be an Englishman . Om had considerable rank in the army under the old Government, serves as Major-General. In the city' of Zamora upwards of 1000 French soldiers have sur rendered their arms. " The Deputies have brought with them the Ovid. Gazette of the 11th of June. This states, that the Governor of Carthagena, who was preparing to deliver the city to the French, had suffered the same fate with Don ALIVAIAs and that he was put to death at thevcritical moment when a large French Torte was peeparing to enter Carthagena from Ton. ion; that thia.force consisted of a squadron of ships of the line, and WOO troops ; but on their arrival off . Mlcant they were most fortunately attacked by a Pfladron of the sing of Great Britain ; that an ac tion commenced, which lasted two days, and termi sated in the destruction of two French frigates and ill the transports, and the capture of two sail of the line, but that the Dritish had lost two frigates in the conflict. This Gazette further states, that a large French vessel having entered the harbour of Cartha- Ma, laden with ammunition and money, upon the idea of finding the French masters of the place, had Mien into the hands of the patriots. " Other accounts add, that it was believed every rut of Spain was in a state of insurrection, except *le Particular places in which the French troops were Boned; and it was believed that our squadron had entered Cadiz, to assist in taking possession of the French fleet in that harbour. "A respectable Merchant, who left Lisbon on• 1418th states, that when he took his departure from gi ' d City, there was a report that Admiral PURVIS had ontrrcd Cadiz ; that a large division of the French army at Lisboa had actually marched for Madrid ; and that General Junor was fortifying himself, with the remainder of the French troops, in Lisbon." To the above we have to add the following para graph copied from a letter received this morniug from oar Correspondent at Plymouth : PLYMOUTH, JUNE 25 . " Yesterday arrived the RAVEN, of 18 guns, from of the Tagus, with dispatches for Government, which were forwarded immediately for London. It is cur featly reported (but with what truth we cannot affirm) that the Portuguese have massacred all the French men that were at Lisbon, and that the Russian men of war have been delivered up to Sir C. Corrow." Our Port Letters contain besides important intelli gence relative to other matters, and are deserving of Ar attentive perusal. • • • i. ?WE OF ST mob for Jut) PRICE err Cent. C. . s Red Ann.

Since our last, foreign journals to the 23d instant have arrived, from which we have given in a preced ing column some extracts relative to the affairs of Spain. This intelligence is not so recent as that re ceived by the Atcminre„ but it is highly interesting. The Throne of Spain has been transferred to JOSRPH BONAPARTE, and the Spanish - Deputies at Bayonne hove acknowledged him as their sovereign !—With what dreadful scenes is that unhappy Kingdom threatened! The Gazette de France of the 16th ipst. presents the following important Order of MURAT relative to American vessels : MADRID, JUNE 4. The Minister of the State dispatches, ad interim, has made public the following Order, dated May the 23d His Imperial Highness the Lieutenant General 4 4 of the Kingdom has been pleased to order, that " the ships belonging to the United States of America 46 which were detained in the ports of Spain, on the ground of their being visited by the English, shall 44 be set free. " In the absence of Don Minuet Jose DE AZ/ 4 n*, (Signed) " PEDRO DE CIFUENTES," This information is extremely interesting to com merce, for the recent arrival of American ships from 'ranee and Holland renders it probable that the mea sure it not confined to Spain, but applies generally to all the enemy's ports. Perhaps the representations of the American Minister at Paris, in consequence of the dispatches which he lately received from his Govern ment, have produced this relaxation in BONAVARIVS system of Commercial Restriction. Since writing the above, we have received some more Foreign Journals, containing most important Official Documents respecting the affairs of Spain. Our time and limits only allow us to lay the following before our Readers : ADDRESS OF THE DEPUTATION TO THE GRAND GENERAL JUNTA. a DEAR SPANIARDS, BELOVED COUNTRYMEN, Your inhabitants, ) our cities, your power, and your property, are as dear to us as ourselves ; and we wish to keep all of you in our eye, that we may be able to establish your security. 'We, as well as yourselves, aro bound in allegiance to the old dynasty—to he.: t..) whom an end has been put by that Godlike Providence which rules all thrones and sceptres. We have seen the greatest States fall under the guidance of this rule, and our land alone has - hitherto escaped the same fate. An unavoidable necessity has now overtaken our country, and brought tis under the protection of the invincible Emperor of France. We . know that you will regard our present situa tion with the utmost consideration, and we have ac cordingly, in this conviction, been uniformly concilia ting the friendship to which we are tied by so many obligations. Wi:h what admiration must we see the benevoldr.ce And humanity of his Imperial and Royal Majesty outstep oar wishes--Qualities which are even more to be admired than his great power He has desired nothing else than that we should be indebted to him for our welfare. Whenever he gives us aSo vereign to reign over us in the person of hii Magnani mous brother Joseph, he will consummate our pro sperity. a As he has been pleased to change our old system of laws, it becomes us to obey, and to live in tranquil lity : As he has also promised to re-organise our finan cial system, we may hope that then our naval and mili tary power will become terrible to our enemies; national credit will be maintained ; the chains which fetter our corn•7erce will be broken ; our agricultural resources will receive similar improvemoat, Lastly, knowing your attachment to your religion, and the uprightness of your character, no change will be made in your worship. He assures you, that you, as your forefathers have done, shall enjoy the Hold Catholic Religion, as the same is permitted in all the kingdoms under his dominion. " And what is the return which the great .listrtuou of the FnExcit requires from you, and from the whole nation, for such important blessings ?—that you remain peaceable ; that you watch over the interests of your households and your families ; that you do not blindly give up yourselves to that madness which is insepa rable frosn rebellion and insurrection ; that you re ceive the improvement of your lot .with becoming confidence, whereby you will experience the govern ment of a worthy monarch, who will watch over you like a father, and whose happiness is inseparable from yours, and of which his subjects will reap the benefit. gu Spaniards, think upon yourselves, your families, and your children ! What can you expect from re bellion and anarchy ? Think on the benefits you en joy and are likely to enjoy—a continuance of the blessings enjoyed by your forefathers, with the redress of every thing of which they had cause to complain ! gg Honest agricultuaists, who know the sweets of domestic comforts—lndustrious mechanics, who fill the cities, you know what is dear to ;our heart's— Merchants and manufacturers who owe your existence to your industry and diligence--Citizens of all classes who owe so much to the protection of the laws—' ....Let all keep in view in. what misery yeti la* involved if you suffer yourselves to be misled by those who wish to profit by your a.nimositieis 1--00 s tep will deprive.you of all 4 What can you boys to receive in return for so great a hazard ? Can any thing induce you to resist the powers which reign over you, or to abjure the wholesome safeguard of the laws ? " Anarchy is the greatest curse that GOD can bring itioti a .people—while it prevails, it breaks down, burns, annihilates, and loosens every thing—the best people, in such circumstances, are generally the greatest sufferers. This state of things is as ungo vernable as the waves of the sea. " Let us recollect the ties that bind us together as one people ; that we have always fought under the same standard ! Ah, how dreadful is civil war I For this century past Spain has enjoyed tranquillity—. Why change the scene, and turn away from our fra ternal advice ? • ‘4 No man doubts Spanish bravery. You can do wonders. But, without system, and without leaders, your effcrts would be in vain. The most numerous bands of undisciplined men dwindle before a regular army, like chaff before the wind. “ We have been placed in a most critical situation, but we now present you with a new and well orga nized government, which secures the liberty, the rights and the property of every individual. This was to be expected of the invincil! Napoleon, who has been occupied in matters that relate to our happi ness, and who has shewn himself anxious to deserve well of our country by becoming her restorer. Let us throw no ob.tacles in the way of the great benefits which will result from our new union. " Thus you Fill fulfil the most ardent wishes of his Imperial Highness the Lieutenant General of the Kingdom (Murat ), of the Junta, and of the Council of Castile , —the hi,7hest powers in the nation. Thus also will'you desery e the countenance and protect . ° of him in whose mighty and benevolent hand is our lot. " May_ HEAVit2?) which has hitherto guarded cur country, incline you to repose your confidence in these our councils." (Signed) &c. " Bayonne, June 6." The proclamation of the Junta of the Government inviting NAPOLEON to appoint his Brother Josrrit as King of Spain, &c. will be given to-morrow.—lt is dated Madrid June S. Since our last three . Mails have arrived from Got. tenburgh. We are sorry to announce that our troop s stiil remained on board' the transports when the latest accounts came away. A Swedish army: it is said, is collecting in Scania, to consist 420,000 men, which it is said is to act with the force under Sir JOHN MOORE against the Island of Zealand. In the mean time parties of the troops arelanded and exercised every day, which tends to preserve the health of the army. Rear, flay cr he ~ ve ha• We are much concerned to state that the convoy at Malmoe, the critical situation of which was men tioned in our Paper of Saturday, and respecting which we have given some further particulars in our extracts from the German Journals, having sailed a second 1 time on the 9th inst. was attacked by. the Danes on 1 the 22d, when, after an obstinate engagement, the I enemy succeeded in capturing many of the ships. The convoy was under the protection of the TURBU- I LENT and TICKLER gun-brigs, and consisted of seventy -1 two sail, of which seventeen were captured, and five sunk. The TURBULENT fought from six in the even ing till three in the morning. The Commander, Lieutenant -Non's, and a few men survived. The Lieutenant of the Trouts, and the wholC of the crew, except about ten men, were either killed or vzoandcd. The Danish force consisted of a number of gun boats several armed ships, and two floating batteries, Four teen of the vessels captured were Swedes, some o' which were burnt, but the crews escaped in their boats. We have this day received Newspapers and Letters from New-York to the 25th ult. brought by the Eli zabeth, which arrived at Derry on Monday last, hav ing been permitted by the American Government, to be purchased by a number of Irishmen, for the sole purpose of conveying them to this country. The I most rigid measures were adopted that no merchan dise whatever should be received on board, and for that purpose Custonalouse 0 ffic as were kept on board with the moment of her sailing. ne embargo had in a great degree lost the unpo pniasity which at the outset attended it, and the pub lic mind was completely made up to the necessity of its continuance, ur.til the Orders of Council were re pealed by Great Britain, and the French Decree re- 1 scinded, so that in fact both those countries and France must naturally agree before the trade with America is resumed by either ; other accounts state, that Ame rica was re.sdy to renew her former relations with the first of the two powers that annulled their obnoxious measures; latterly greater precautions than before have been taken to enforce the embargo. A considerable trade had been carried on between the Northern States and Canada, since the passing of the Non-importation and Embargo Acts, by smug gling British goods into America, and exporting their produce through the lakes ; but this practice is now at an end, as American brigs of war are sta tioned, in the narrows of Lake Champlain and the upper lakes, purposely to intercept all vessels engaged in that quarter. Owing to the Elizabeth being in ballast and without cargo, she made her passage in the short space of 17 days, with 56 passengers. The CALEDONIA, of 120 guns, was launched on Saturday evening from Plymouth dock-yard. She is the largest ship that was ever built in this country, and is pierced for 132 guns. The .concourse of people to view this grand spectacle was much greater than was ever seen on such an occasion there, as they had arrived from all parts of the country in such numbers, that not a lodging was to be obtain ed in Plymouth or the adjoining towns, nor a horse or carriage of any sort to be hired, within many miles of that place.
