When the French before, in the month of Fe brisary last, ventured to paw the Minho, they in like manner issued a paper with the ridieutrus title of Proclamation ; they were, however defeated, and panned to the frontiers of another province, snore open, and where he hoped to encounter fewer obstacles.4—They are mistaken, they will meet with a barrier of brass—they may occupy some small pert of the frontier country ; but all incessant and relentless war shall make them abandon their en. tarprize ; the whole of the country they can never conquer. " I do mot, therefore, expect that I shall tweet with say rceiatioicr, bit Ostler mayactr 1 shall be received with the lame cordiality with which we were received little wore than • year 1160." We received the French well iii November, 1807, because his Royal Highness expressly commanders it, and it was never expected that they would prove so creel and rapacious as we found them. Spain likewise then mode common twine with the French'. Hors not Marshal Sunk know how we were treated by Jusiot, who trampled on our in dependence and out constitution ; made slaves of our youth, violated our women, defaced the Mugs* of our saints. What horror! what des peration ! And can he Satter himself we will receive him cordially ? Ali! had such u proposi tiow heels made to our ancestors, what fury would have possessed their sands. Our utigiibours in their MISTS against us ever advanced and relied on sonic equivocal rights of succession ; and duoug the eight centuries our Nlomuchy hue lasted, no insolent stranger hos ever dared to say to us, 1 wish' to be Lord of your Kingdom), receive us cordially. But it was reserved for the present age to see and hear monstrous extravagances of every kind. " What effort caa resistance have ! What can you pre pare to yottreelves, shell all those arraire which frciiay hod asseutbleti Sc Spain are destroyed r This is n great falsehood ; the same armies exist which dal exist; and if they did rat, why, after having entered Madrid more than three mouths ago, have you nut been able to advance either to Castello-Branco or to &deka ? Besides, do you not kiwis' that Portugul contain* three millions of hiliabitants, and consequently 600,000 men ca petite of bearing arms, and all willing and eager to :war them. Perhaps you imagine we lime not arms; hut we have considerable quantities, mud our Govertiment has no doubt uplifted to England for more. Perhaps you think that our armies are separated, and cannot be united. This might have beeu the case under the old system, but cm - tainly is not under the new; we have considered, and are aware of the necessity of uniting our forces, or ut least making them act in concert. " That English army *hitt wads its appearance on the Coutiatut may to foment the spirit of disorder and rebeltiva, and indict all kinds of calamities, has been defeated, and forced to embeds fur England, after hash % lest sate-lialf of its soldier., its beat Geaerals, all its allOallaibaa. its horses and haggae." We are weary of so inuch repetition with respect to the English army. Bessieres, iu Junaary, said. that the English had lost 10,000 men ; and Stroll says they lost 17,500, the half of 35,000, of which the army of General Moore at lino isitisisted ; ue shall no doubt soon 1w teld that all the English were killed or taken, and not a single man re-tin barked. The French should know that several British divisions are already .downilmirking in the Tagus, and that more are expected; and, as the British Cabinet knows that its first interest is the interest of the peninsula, it is greatly to lw hoped that a British force will land in the t : Asturias, and, joioing these valiant mountaineers, agree/oil to take Ferrol mud Comma, and attack the of Souls.likewiselt willikewisebe very pro irctielt England should send efFeacioossuccours 'OW Cambium, to reconquer Barcelona, because *at place remaining iu the power of the enemy, greatly impedes the operations of the Patriots to SW South of Spain.

I offer yea, besides, an entire oblivion of the past, sad IS more that yea shall receive the ekassacy of His Ma .}al/ the Emperor." Clenteney from a man entirely a stranger to us, and from so vindictive and ferocious a tyrant. It is not possible either to wish it, or to hope it. " Yon shall enjoy the beisellt of the sublime lastitatioss of the same envoi Sovereign. It will tw easy fur me to deliver %MB from the calamities which you cannot dray this you emitter, rad assuage the evils which y o u have solfeetet. if I arrange vote administrations, and urgamire anew the Portegacse army." We have experietiei d the sublime government of your august Friend, and Lord proteet u. froin it! Of our calamitie4, you are the cause; for Portugal was rich and flourishing before your fatal arrival. Your presence, far front ussuaging, would moat miserably aggravate our evils.

If Marshal Soult means by these pure citizens any partizans of the French Gorerumuit, they sire a dreadful disgrace to their country. to say no more. " kedeet, Poitugucce, on your sitnatiou." It is the best way in the world fur defending our selves against onr enemies. " .toad consider well these parrot's offers while it is time but let year submission be prompt and sinuar, if pin wish to avoid the evils from which 1 wothl save yon."

The surrender of Fort Bourbon by the French, and the consequent complete possession of the island of Martinique by the British forces, were yestridny announced to the public 'by the follow ing letter to the Lord Mayor:— " Adwiraltyo6ice, Alunclay, April 10, 2 p. m. "Lord Mulgruve has the honour to acquaint the Right Honourable the Lord Mayor that a tele graphic communication, from Plymouth, just re ceived, announces the surrender of the iiland of Martinique." The Dispatch packet, Capt. HARRIS, arrived on Friday at Falmouth, in thirteeu days from Lisbon, with letters and papers from that city to the 25th taste... The sub►tance of the public papers we gave yesterday ; in a hich it is statedthat the French un der Marshal Semr bad advanced into Portugal to Braga, on their way to Oporto, but had been beaten and driveu back in two div6ions, au the loth unit by the Portuguese. Little credit, we fear, is doe to his account; for, the day before the packet left Lisbon, advice was received there that a body of eight thousand French had advanced to Braga, and were expected to enter Oporto in a few The greatest ■pprehcusious were en tertained for the safay of the shipping at Oporto, which it was feared would ant be able to get out, owing to the very heavy sea on the Bar. On entering the Portuguese territory, Marshal SOUL?, the Commander-in-Chief of the French Army, issued a Proclamation, in which he offers to the inhabitants protection of their persons, pro perty and religion, and an amnesty, on condition of their surrender without resistance. The Procla mation, and the notes of the Portuvese Editor upon it. arc given in our preceding column". — e The British army at Lisbon, miller Sir JOHN CHADOCK. amounting to about 15,000 men, were encamped round Lisbon, where the cannon had been remounted on the forts, and every other-pre paration made for a vigorous defence.—The bri gade of General HILL, which sailed from Coil: on the 27tb ult. would probably reach the Tagus about the 3sl instant. The Packet left a t Lis bon Ills Majesty's ships • Ganges, Semiramis, INCIZOta, Esprit, Intelligent, and Nile. If it be fact, as various of the Continental Pa pers have asserted, and as no reasonable doubt re mains, that General DVPONT has been shot by his Corsican ruler, nearly in the same munuer, and with the same accompaniments, as attended the execistiou, or, more properly, the murder of the Duke D'Estmatm ; we have to rework, that we believe this is the first instance of the tyrant's adopting such a jerlicial mode of proceeding to wards any of his offending .Generals. For, howe. ver the punishment may have been pre-determined, some ostensible form of trial, and of condemna tion, must, we presume, have preceded the sill- . fence passed on him. The Emperor is, apparent ly, no longer to be restrained by those considera tions and attentions, by which the lira Consul, or the Commuusder4N-CAief, were withheld. Hither- to, as far as history or report can penetrate the dark recesses of his flagitious policy, only two of his fUeneral Officers have been withdrawn front ' life; and both those by unascertained modes, ei. tiler as to the hand that inflicted the blow, or the time and place where the victim fell. Theifest of these unfortunate men was, Admiral VtuLasi novo, who, early in 1806, having obtained of this coun try the periniceion to return, after the battle of Tra falgar, to France, on his parole, ventured to avail himself of that fatal licence. Conscious of having done his duty, however unfortunate in the result, he was eager to justify his honour from the imputation. thrown upon it by his enemies; and he had, iu de fiance of repeated warning. given him by his friends, ,ant to approach the furious N•Pot.aos, the im prudence to set out from Morlaix for Paris. Di GRAUi, who wet made prisoner by Lord Rosins in 1783, had been graciously received by Louts XVI.; and NlLLEssuss demanded a trial. Dot BOParaaTtt, who had dispatched the Vicomte I DC RUSILLT to Catillt, to asperse& him in the commend of the French and Spithibli fleets, revtr forgave him for not waiting the arrival of his MilC ertnor. VILLENEti•E 'arrived at-Rennes in Bin. but war found on the following mornin g murdered in Ilia brd. He sould 'have beim at 111 lour (hips more, and It WWI doubtlrss ue. cessary to atop his farther advance towards the cspitul. Over the exit of the second, General Banta, a still more impervious veil is drawn. Whatever ass the peculiar nature of his crime, it was mysteriously concealed; but, his not having captured the King of SWEDEN himself, when he took Stralsund, ass the cause commonly assigned by the French them selves, for his arrest and disgrace. He was con veyed in a close chariot from Stettin to Paris, iu lair.

The crime of DOPoNT, a capitaliitioi: which laid French army at the feet of Spain, was irremissib : and Decor:l., after the experience which lie eii:e.! must or ought to have had of his Corsican Master,' appears to have acted 4 least with dangerous teme rity, in trusting to his clemency. It is, however,' unquestionable, that he was allured back to Fratit e, hr assurances or the most cordial reception. A species of Princess, accerding to the revolutionar„. jargon of the time, was to have been given him in marriage.
