Dispatches were received, yesterday. by Govern ment, from Sir ARTIRIa WELLEsLEY. They were brought to Plymouth by the Plover sloop of war, Capt. BILOWNZ, direct from Oporto, where Sir WILLESUIT arrived. with the Expedition under his command, on Saturday se'llnight. 6e veral Portuguese of distinction, who have been ap pointed Commissioners, on the part of the Patriots, to the British Government, are arrived in the Plover. The Plover had lyte:t with our sytadrun off Cadiz, before she touched at Oporto. • We cannot undertake to say whether Sir AR- Tnua Wet.LEst.sv intended to land his troops at Oporto, and direct his operations from that qudter agaiust JuNcr. The hue of march from Oporto to Lisbon may be fairly computed at 130 English milts. The strength of JUNOT, we understand. has been much misrepresented. It is confidently said, that, having called in the detachments which occupied Elvas and Evera, his concentrated form consists at present of 17,000 men. On the other hand, we have reason to believe that the 5000 troops embarked at Ramsgate, and which sailed on Sunday sennight. under convoy of the St. Alban's, have been sent out to reinforce Sir Amnia WEL LICILEV. The army of the Portuguese Patriots, consisting of 8,000 regulars and il,OOO Patriots, had ad vanced beyond Coimbra. After the check whicD • General Loisos received, Julsor seemed to he doubtful what stepes to take.—LoisoN however had dispatched part of his force to join a division under General LABOADIt, whom JUNOT to San tarem, and who had advanced beyond that place to Leria, with a view, as was supposed, is give battle to the Patriots. ',aria is on the Lis, about 14 miles east of the ocean—Coimbra is on the Mon ilego—drey are about 50 miles distant from each other.—lt should seem as if .1c NOT wished to press an engagement with the Patriots before our troops arrived. Sir APITIMIL WELLWILItYi we believe, dispatched from Coruona • Messenger to the Pa triot army, with an account of his approach. A letter from Plymouth, received yesterday, mates, that Sir ARTHLa LLI.XSI.EY'II expedition had landed at Oporto ; and that Lotsox, at the head of 4,000 French troops, was Willis back to join Juircre at Lisbon. Lutsox is drarhed with exercising the greatest cruelties on his unarch. Jostea BONAPARTE. otherwise denominated King of SPAIN and the Imams, had arrived, as we hod by the Dutch hymn., on the 14th of July, at Burgos, the capital of Old Castile. The narrative of his journey or progress towards Madrid is, how. ever, confined principally to the personal motious of this Corsican adventurer; sad does not digress into any, even the most distant mention of Du ronv, LASALLE, or LEFEBVRE. We may safely in fer from this silence, that by the latest accounts received from the interior of Spain, Saragossa hod not repented nor opened its gates ; nor had Duronv advanced upon Seville. Smith events would not have been concealed from the French, nor withheld from the Dutch. Yet we know, if we may credit the preceding recount* given in the foreipi papeni, that all attack upon Saragossa was destined to take place on the sth of July ; that is, nine days previous to Ilon Joss-loss's arrival at Bur gos. If any mach attack had been mode, a•Ad that the French were massturo of the capital of All *goo, it to suppose that it wonLI not ion, been related,: in fact, th.s silence of the ;Volitive; and the husgeage of these Dutch Papers. equally concur to Forney the belief. that BOWAPARTC, fur the first time since his rebeat from before Acre, has no longer any vietolies to conontsinoriate. Let us, nevertheless, tallow Jotted Ou lits route, *slop ing the truth of the facts which are stated to have occurred ; we shell sill der,ve Irene them some information, and still spore ground, of belief, or of Conviction. " roe est et ib boobs dooroi." It would appear then that he remained two days is the capital of the province I,f Alava, that he went to supper *Caine o'cls.ck, assisted at the are-works performed in bowel of his arrival at Vittoria, received the Magistrates and Deputies with royal coadescension; and, above all, that he issued is Proclamation to the Spanish nation. That Proclamation is a paper by r means coutem ptil,le. On the contrary, it is draws up with consummate ability, and is calculated - to produce a very favour able impression of the man by whom it is. promul gated. If we may believe Josern, all the felicity of Span, wider lassait.s, of Castile, and all the glory of the Spanish Monarchy, under CIIAILLES the FIFTH, shall be renewed and combined under his beneficent reign. A new golden age shrill de. ticeuil upon earth. " Jam ours progenies cob dersittitur alto." FENELON, iu his Telemachus, could not have stretched out a more beautiful or seducing picture; nor /hum anTON, in Ilia Oceans:, hare imagined a more . perfect form of Government, cowhiuing freedom with energy, and the complete protection of the subject, with the Majesty of the Sbvereign, than arc delineated and promised by this Cuitiff; the sae tool of a flagitious Usurper, whose enor niitiesimein to increase a ith his power. Let us not, however, %%bile we reprobate and ex pose, allow ourselves to despise, this production.— It int itbly intendd to operate on the minds of every Spaniard, who, sensible to the imbecility of the -late Government, deprecating the continuance of such a despotism us that of the BOURBONS, and desirous; of seeing a free constitution estaulished iu its place ; may be induced to trust to these assur ances, and to forget on what occasion, as well as by whom, they are made. Josses liberally pro mises, die re-establishment of the Coites, inne bonded ; personal and political liberty to the sub ject ; the incorrupt administration of justice; the suppression of c; cry oppressive tax ;" in a word, all that TRAJAN or Msat us Auasttus could have done for the Roman people. He reluctantly ad `mils, hue ever, that the most deplorable anarchy peva& among his new subjects; some of whbm seem disposed, before they recognize this Usurper at second-hand, created by Smother Usurper, calling himself the representative of CHAPI.XSAnNE 3041 of CLOVIS, to ask how suds an intruder dares to out rage the Spanish nation, by laiing his plebeian hand upon the sceptre of CHARLES the Firm ? It would, nicked, in our judgment, have been not only more magnanimous in BONAPARTE, but more wise and able, to have proceeded by any other mode toaards the attainment of his object, than by that which he has chosen. The int:opacity of CH•RLES, and the ductilityof Femurs AND, may have justly weakened the affection or esteem of their subjects towards such Princes. If lie had declared them unworthy longer to reign, and had marched into Spain, at the head of 150,0c0 men, with the avowed intention of deposing them ; if he had suppressed the BOURIEN dynasty, as the Meaominzats and CARLOVINGIAN races were successively extinAuish eil in France; assuming those acts as precedents for his own conduct ; and if he had then placed the Crown on his brother JOSE:PIea head et Madrid, as he placed the iron crown of the Lombard Kings on his own, at Milan, only a short time ago ; if ha had acted thus, the sublimity, energy, and even the vio- lence of the proceeding, would have, in some mea sure, covered, and made it tolerable, if not vene rable. Men, oppressed and dazzled by such ex plait's, would have sunk under their lustre, and have forgotten their enormity. Ile would have seemed to be made for universal empire; and, as was said of Louts the FOUITLENT.I. by the adula tion of his Courtiers, " Lc Monde, an le roma, auroit recently sou maitre." But. happily fur mankind, Providence him not dispensed to him one ray of real greatness, or ele vation of mind. Ile may mimic, mistime, or affect it, in order to serve a purpose ; but his nature is ferocious, hare, and treacherous. By a combina tion of those qualities, he terrified, entrapped, de posed, and imprisoned the Kings of Spain, his allies. From that moment, in every honourable bosom, the errors and faults of those unfortunate Princes, were effaced or obliterated by their cila mity. Loyalty, even a sense of individual dignity, and of collective honour, forbid a whole nation to acknowledge a dominion, founded in outrage, per fidy, anti unqualified usurpation. Human nature would have been degraded by submission to so op probrious a tyranny, of which even antiquity, NO fertile in examples of enormity, could exhibit no parallel in PNALARIS, in Dtorsystus, or in NAIIIL It is, we repeat, Bou•raafs hiniself who seta limits to his own further career, and who, a e be hew, whatever transitory triumphs may attend his arms beyod the Pyrenees, will Si perish, the victim of his want of moderation, of good faith, and events. ,uf prtwlepee.
