'THE PRESS. LONDON, SATL;RDAV; JArit;:atir 14: We stated, on Wedieeelay, that a task bad been picked up, on the precediug Saturday, off Rams gate, tontainiegetteplicates of the Bulletins of the French army in Spain, previously received is an open boat from Boulogne ; and also some of lieW nuns, of more recent date. Well copies of some in tercapted letters (ten the Duke DI N TANTA 00, and other Spanish Ceuerals. %Ye stated, at the setae time. that it WWI utelerstood the Beduins. , did hot centain any muter of importance, mid are now aurprised that Ministers, to whom they were imme diately transmitted from Ramsgute, did not setter icily part nf their contents to transpire until iester day. 'rice iii I, 13uiletin is doted Madrid the 19th. —it states, that patroleS of !''reach cavalry had pushed on es far ns alla,lulid, sit the one side, and to the Frieitiers of .teetalnsie oil the other. That the endue which hal ad vaacial to 'falavera was still at that place ; that the cavalry had at length dis coverril the existeisce of the English, who had re nt:duce in so extraordinary a +winner immoveable tt Sahenauca.; that it was his intention to give his troops some days rest, after the ettraonlimary fatigues which they had aralerrne ; and it con cludeswith st*ting, that the eth division hind reached Burgos. We are cuufislent that these Bulletins are sent to this conntry, in this extraordinary and nuprecedeuted way, to deceive and mislead our Ministers. It is huniiliatiog to think. that ItottereaTE, 1 ' the atrocious Usurper of France," (as Nlr. C•N Ni NU dtsig itateal NAPoLloel, should thick so iniquity of the wisdom of our Minis ters, as to Ratter himself that there Bulletins could possibly iufluence their voltam t.—Yet we greatly fear that they are not without their !Otte.

" it is, important et,d estisl'aitniy to know, front the Bulletins, teat, as Lite as the Iptli, no matt of the French heny had Ineaan to march from Madrid, awl there is every rea son to believe that they did not continence their march (at least the infautry) till the J.l.e The kuewleslee of this facets siillicieet to remove the aleeehetisious which have been expressed by some of our contemporaries, for the safety of Sir JOHN Moo rts'i, Army. There can be no doubt that Ste Joux the start of BO NAP A RTE by siiedays, end of SOU LT by four die e and therefore it is almost impossible that either of their armies can come tip with him." %Ve wi.n the paw,: r.r the use which Nliaitters make of the eoth Voitletim They have kept it in their pockets for sternal clays, sad they now produce it, and for what purport ? We weever, for a similar purpose for which Boe Al Ante sent it to them. He seat it to the Mintsters to de ceive them, to keep them in the dark, and they publish it to mislead the pveple. Sir Jose Mouss's dispatches, dated ..stores, tile ;list of Urcellaber , bay. " tee Fiend, Mimicry has not yet crime up, hut is ricer, and the revelry isaraosel us i.e g reat aunstmra." The dispatches state a great deal more, which Ministers du not ciinotie to tell us. The dispatches give a definition of this Mani sear, sod Nliuisters know that 80% A tat ItTe. at the head of twenty sciustdrons of cavalry, was out the 31st within twelve miles of the rear of the British army. Why thou bring forward this :nth linlletiii, for the purpose of a delusion, which, although s.necessful, must vanish in a day It is well known that Botta tenet; Irtril V.ll the united cure of Marshal the Duke of DANTTIC ; " the united corps," that is, according to the oreonira lion of the French army, a force lint less than 40,000 meat, on the lath December, on tke roach to Sego. vin, cud that they marched for St:eerie oil that alice, to support Soet.t. Iltr wonitl, of course, be the last to leave the came. at Madrid. Having dispatched all the forces which he enema to march against the British army before him, he would sreulete upon placing himself at their head, just at the utomeut when his preseuce 'night be necessary. Of course he would not feel it necessary to leave Madrid until several days after the last of his troops had marched for Leon and Galliehe and even although he should have re niained in the neighbourhood of that city, until the eat!, it wits mot impossible for bins to hair readied the vicitiiry of Astute*, oo the thirty. Ora. Such it the reasoning which the Coth Uarninto, even upon the supposition that Hoes ea ear. was at ;Madrid so late as the But are A:Misters, who contend for, un opeosite conclasion, aware of the ceauetueners of thus setting up the authority of this Btilletin to im pcuch the solidity unit truth of the dispatcher, y have rr:c. iced from Sir .lonts.llootte, aiscrtine, that " the euetny's cavalry was arossail him Ur great rumbers, and that the iltriall- Efy ;is near."

" this ati.ocious•eiarper of France," would not insinu ate a falsehood, even in an anonymous Bulletin. We have received Mwirist Gazettes to the eth of December, from which we have extracted a copy of the capitulation of that city. The publicear has been abused by reports of the obstinate and perse veriug resistance of Madrid, of the repeated re pulses of the enemy before it, of their massacre, and final expulsion, after a coolest of many da... 4. Every vessel wafted to our shores, from Spain, re-echoed this news. The story, whether coming from Cadiz, or from Coruutta, was the same. The Capitulation refutes all these rumours. It bears date the 4th, the day after the main body of the French army came up, and is signed by Slams, the ve: swan whore NAPOLEON loaded with such groe, abuse, and treated with so much contumely and scoru. We find, indeed, from the terns* of this doeurne:d. that the inhabitants had adopted those means of resistance, of which only a city like Mu tirid is capable. Alllollg these they had breten up the streets, iu like mintier us the Sprutiards had done at Buenos Ayres; and as BA LEIA x I, who assisted Ge neral Lir:lets. is now in Madrid, it is probable that the precise plait was adopted which ails PO success• ful at Buenos Ay ma against Centre' 11 to Elate Hot the citizens of Madrid did neteraustil.Aleeinselves of these preparations. As soon as the Itrtiro. which COUIIIIIIIIIII4 the place, was taken. the town capitulated. Moat. s, in negotiating this treaty, appears to have been' lost to all private, as well as public feeling. It,tuay be said, that fur ther resiatauste could onlriesni:.ta the unprofit able effusion of math blectif,lllB bring down the venrstree of NAPOLEON upon the city. This may be true. To . maintain the place agama the formidable force before it, we be lieve, was impractiesible, but irTwees trot impos sible to preserve the •troops. Moat.* might, or critht to have eontrived au opportunity to enaLle them to evacuate it, atithitill thtte preserved them to their country. We ,64(1, on the' co'.trury. by the C'apitulation, that all the tortes in Nladrill, etneristinc, of armed peasants. tinned. inhatritaats. and troops of the line, shall be marched oat of the town, and be disarmed.; the, pea sants and citizens, and all new levies enlist ed. into the hoe, nitkia the last tour months, shall then di , perse w . rtllfuru to their respective lames, and the sigielea troairs of the liue shall re iutin prisoners of tear nail regularly exchanged. —Thus the whole tirtnents of resistance organ ised at Marine!, are completely dissolved, and have not a wreck behind. —We lately an urinated, that the Supreme Junta hart proceed ed to St. Alary's, and now timid, that from the Islam place, it has reached its we phi ultra ; at Cadiz. At these places it issued a proclamation, condemning, in strougi;rhis, the. capitulation of Madrid ; but we fear that its fugit.ve authority will not go far to remove the depre‘siorrof public spirit that mug attend the surrender of the Capital, and the total uegaieseeiree of its citizens, and the horse that deg :tided it, to the will of the invader. auy thing at the present moment could awaken att, utiun iu the public mind, except the destiny of the Fpwuish Monarchy. and the critical, uot to say perilous, situation of our army . iu Gallona, retreat- Mg before 800 APAIITS it would certainly he the legi,iative seta and commercial regulation,. already enacted. or in routenoiation, by the Goverumeot of the United States of America. However osten sibly these regulations may seem to be equally di rected agedett Foutee and against Urea' Britain, it is intones:dole not to perceive that their intention and their operation are really levelled, principally, we might perhaps say, solely, against us. Femme, destitute of eQOIIIIVrt7C, her ports and harbours closed, her productions prevented in a great de gree from lwi.ig exported. her youth comeribcd, and led successively over every portion of Europ. , , under the victorious standard of a foreign Usurper, mho enchains the nation. and subjugates the itrighleouriug states. France thus bent down, and already habituated to the privations which its Ruler's ambition or vengeance dictates, can be little affected by prohibition*, embargos, or non importation decrees of the American Legislature.— When, iie addition to the spirit manifested beyond the Atlantic, we reflect that all Europe now moron blies a %set prison, under the contemn of a fern civets keeper, who extends his girders to every part, and who shuts, with the slime facility, the ports of Prussia, Denmark, Italy, and Austria, .as he does that of Fruiter, oar reflection* cannot be other tlian serious, and even painful. Altona, Aleinel. Trieste, cu•! Leghorn, are as much under N.seci ttotte's cootroul. as Bourdesent, or as Marseilles. To complete the extinction of all commerce with the Continent, the Emperor of Rusoie, late our ally, Sucereign of the greatest empire on the globe, coodcsceuds to become the instrument and scourge of a Corsican revolutiouary Tyrant, with whom he has entered into the closest couneetions of friendship and policy.
