"'During these last days the enemy has made dif ferent arid many movements in the interior of the position he occupies, but I have not been able to discover with what obje& these movements have been made. " l'Lu picquets and four of the different corps which occupy many points of his position are the same, and I judge that the movements he has made are only for the purpose of relieving some of his de tachments. I continually receive information that the enemy suffers the greatest inconvenience for want of provisions, and that his difficulties in pro curing any subsistence whateVer daily augment. It" is certain that hitherto he has received no prOvisitins oth Spain—that he has no communication with the fluntier.—and that he cannot even send in that dilection a Courier unless he is escorted by a strung LISBON, FEB. lo.—Jo NOT IS ROC dead, but very dangerously wounded in the lace.

We see that those who have been un willing to contribute to preserve the independence • of the nation,. their religion, and their King, have nnw become, the vicoms of the'most.crnei tyranny, acid justly do they suffer from the enemy the pu nishment due to their avarice and mean self•in- serest." Some German and Danish Papers, containing in telligence to the .14th inst. hide been received since our last.

The Contingent formed by the States which compose the Confederation of the Rhine amounts. to 118,682 Men. A decree has lately been published in Denmark, the article, of which have been supposed to indicate a change in the politics of that Government. It is in the. following terms : 1. All Swedish vessels, detained on account of the bill of silo not being on board, shall be released without turther prrcesii. 2. Every Swedish vessel, detained merely because her destination was an English port, bur which is furnished 'with documents from the Swedish Go vernment, as well as Swedish Vessels now _returning from England, laden with s ilt, or Which are return ing in ballast, shall neither be detained nor con conderhned. a. Swedish vessels, which sailo.,l for England be fore the declaration of war was known at the Swedish port from whence the vessel wa. di;patched, cannot be detained, much less condemned. 4. A Swedish vessel cannot be condemned merely for haying used an English license. 5. Swedish vessels, suspected of having availed themselves of English convoys, canno► be condemned without proofs the must mcontesiible, We have learnt with much ,satisfaaion that 24 sail of shipping, laden with provisions and corn, arrived in the Tagus on the lath inst. frOm Atue MASSENA'S'army, it seems, is most distiessingly destitute of shoes, ,and also in a very unhealthy .state for want of a sufficient supply of medicines.

DOCTOR DUfGELA'N. • • The first article ibserted in the Edinburgh Review of November, 1810, is intitled—" . The t,ubsiance of a Speech of Sir John Cox. HiPPesley, Bart. on svconiting the. Motion' of the Right Hon. Henry Grattan, to refer the Petition of th e Roman Catho lics of. Ireland . to a Comniiitee of the Home of Commons, on gricay, the 18th of May 1810." This Speech has, it seems, been published in a -pam phlet, and is 'now republished in the Edinturgh Review. The three last paragraphs of this article in the Review, contain an attack on Di% Duigenan, couch ed in rude terms of personal inveMive, and founded on the grossest roisreprestatioit. . . They state, that in a toter adilressedloy, Dr. Dui genan to Mr. Grattan, in 1798, the DoEtor gave the following opinion. " Tha: were we (the Irish' nation) one people with the British nation, the preponderance of the Protestant body in the whrife empire wonid be so great, that all rival hips and jealousies between Pro testants and flotnanists would cease for ever, and it woUld not be necessarpto curl) Romanists by any laws whatsoever."---Pag es 59, 60. The paragraph in the lettr alluded to, from which the above garbled and mutilated passage is i!xtraaed, and which is'to be found in pa: e 7H, 79, 'of the Irish edition of the letter, is in the words Jul- " ft has been the opinion of very great and able Statesmen, that an union with England, on just mid tqui'atde terms, would be very adt•antageous in ire land, would contribute greatly to increase her trade and hpr opulence, and conduce to the strength. of the empire at large ; and in any ev , :lit it could not be more,prpjudieial to the Romanist s t Ireland, than to any other of his Majesty's subjecls here, but much less, (if it 'could he at all prejudicial, which cannot admit) inasmuch as, we ,were one pt side with the British nation, the. preponderance of the PrOtestant b . ody of, the whole ,ernpire would be so great, that all rivaiship and jealousies between Pro testants and Romanists would ceaee for ever, and. it would not be necessary., for the safety of the empire at large,. to curb Bomanists by arty exclusive laws whatsoever." • The paragraph in the 'letter then proceeded to state Dr. Duigenan's riven opinion, and the reasons on which he g?ounded it ; in (fired opposition to what he had stated in the preceding pail of the pa ragraph; as the opinion, not al nimseU; but of some able Statesmen, together with the reasons on which they bad grounded their opinion, of the- effects of an union in reconciling Jrit Romanists to au En glish Protestant Governinent ; winch the Doctor, in that very paragraph, maintains .to be utterly im pra&icable on any terms whatsoever. • Dr. Duigenan never read a line ot .the pamphlet stated in the Review, as .the substaOce of a Parlia mentary speech of Sir John. Cox Hippesley ; the three last paragraphs of th-iltev,ew he has read these paragraphs charge the Doctor with inconsis tency ; with being an under agent of the G..ivern meta ; and (byinference at least) of being ail enemy\ `of the Roman C.itholics. • As to the first Charge, the misrepresentation of the • mutilated abstract ou'which it is totinded, is auwe exposed. As to the second charge, it,iS a well 'known fa& to all 'lrish Members of Parliament, that Dr: Dui genan al waysnpposed the coo,ce..sions of all political privilrges to Bornanists, though introduced•and sup ported by the Irish Government with . all its interest and power. That he never sat a s - Representative in Parliament for, what is stiled, a venal borough, nor 'for any borough under the patronage* Govern ment. That Ile never enjoyed any employment under Goiernment, save one, whieh was conferred on him from leis rank at the Irish Civil Law Bar, before he sat in Parliament, and which he yet retains as honourable, but the emolument of it is trifling, and to him insignificant,. being that of King's Ad vocate in the Court of Admiralty In Ireland, a Court dwindled almost to nothing. The Doaor's other employments in Ireland ire in the gift of the Irish Prelates, and not in the gift of the Crown ; they were conferred on him. before tile:Emancipation Question was agitated, and are all:tor:life, so that it is manifest that Dr. Deigenan never was an agent , or under -agent for.any Guv ern m ent • and that his support of any Ministry was, and is, only to be pro cured by his own-coevi6tion of the;r measures being calculated for the. .support of the Constitution in . Church and State. As to the third charge, the Do&in 'utterly denies it : he is not, nor ever was in enukny of the Romish subieas of the British empire, ner ef any of his fellow subjects of any description ; he is a Steady Loyalist, sod unaherAbly attached to the support of the Con stitution in , Clinrch and State, and, as such, a firm opponent of the political pursuits of. the Romanists and their abettors. If the other repregentations in the pamphlet, called The substance &it the , Speech of Sir John Cox Hippisley," be as unfounded as those contained itathe three last paragraphs of the RevieVr'of it, those, who may chance to r ea d it, w ill be. able to forefa pretty decisive judgment of the merit of the Ii is a curious - device for the circulation of a pamphlet which perhaps few have read, to.transfer it to a work which has an extensive see, such as the Edinburgh Review, ,and to place it in the fr9nt of But it may be justly - observed, that the Edi tors of that work, :professing themselves to be im partial critical Reviewers, should be cautious ho w they adopt and publish such gross ruisrepresenta tions of tatls, which a very slight attention would enable them to detea 'and expose.. As to "the incivility of the side, Duigenan can not gauss how he,merited .it from the Gentleman stated in the Review to be the author of th e re viewed pamphlet ; the Do lor is utterly 'unac9uaint vd with him ; he was absent at the time that Gen tleman spoke in Parliament on the Motion men tioned, consequently he could not have given him any offence by.answering or replying. All the Doc tor knows of the Gentleman is, that he appea rs i n the public registers to be Representative hi ;mut 01 the Borough of Sudbury.
