NORFOLK, August 20.
Captain Macnamara, of the brig Louisa,
bound to Alexandria from Lisbon, arrived
yesterday in Hampton Roads. Captain M.
left Lisbon as late as the fourth of July, at
which time there had been no action on
the’frontlers. It would seem that the com
mahder of the combined English and Por
tuguese army had determined to act on the
defensive. The in veaMoent of Ciudad Rod
rigo' by the French Jftes not appear to
have changed Lord Wellington’s plan, nor
is it probable that he will hazard a genefal
action to relievo that place. The difficulty
of drawing supplies for the French army,
will it is probable, incline General Masse-
Ina to force an action.

Jopeph has dismissed the 60 Spaniards
whom he had admitted into his horse-guards
directing them to proceed to their houses,
whence they will be allowed to apply for
other situations; and has done the same
with the whole of the guard of honour from
Granada, who accompanied him on his re
turn. It h;.s been reported that he thought
of going to Valencia, and had given it up
for fear of the light partks ; but with what
army he intended to set out upon that ex

5000 men here.
On the 15th many officers of the Dutch

It is already some time since the publick

Officer, the pride of bis country and a pat
tern of military virtue, has been poisoned
at Figueras, and that the effects of the poi
son were so violent and so conspicuous that
there was no concealing them; whatever
means were used for that purpose, and
whatever haste was madeto bury the corpse
in the dark of the night. It was also said,
that Bonaparte had first ordered him to be
executed, like a malefactor, on the publick
square of Gerona, that the theatre of his
glory might be that of his punishment; but,
from an apprehension of the effects such a
spectacle might produce, poison was pre

Tarragona, June 19.
With the com«jencemttU of the French
revolution, there oomsneioed inFrance*
war « /tolitical fanaticism g a war which
was accompanied, »s Mr. Potter ob
serves. with the overthrow and demolition
of every thing valuable In society, govern
ment, morals and religion. This war,
though Its object has been changed; though
it become rather a war of ambition than of
political fanaticism, still rages with in
creased fory, and unabated destruction.
Napoleon has sworn, and be employs
his immense resources to effect, the anni
hilation of republicks, the extirpation of
liberty, and the subjugation of the human
race to his despotick away. On the fairest
portion of the civilized world he has al
ready imposed his iron ynke; and the clank
ing chitins of slavery, silencing the songs of
freedom, attest the fraternity of Franco,
and the wretchedness of despotism. To
overturn the government, to subvert the
liberties of every country within the grasp
of his power, is the grand object for which
he contends, and deluges Europe with the
blood of her sons. To-effect objects like
these, to establish a military despotism co
extensive with Europe, the thunderbolt of
war has bunt upon Holland, cloven down
the liberty of Switzerland, and spread de
vastation through the Germanick Empire;
for this, his sanguinary legions have ascend
ed the Pyrenees, inundated with blood the
smiling fields (A Spain and Portugal, and
overwhelmed the dwellings of man and
the temples of God in one vast and mighty
ruin. By a thousand enormities, by
species of oppression, injustice and crnelty,
the fell hostility of this scourge of the hu
man race, is at this moment manifested
towards our injnred, insulted and degraded
country. But we cafinot enumerate ail his
crimes, or detail his atrocities. A voice, a
warning voice, Issuing (ram the dungeon/
if France, sadly swells in the ear ; it is
full of misery and death ; it is the last
groans that escape the bosoms of Ameri
can citizens, during their last conflict with
oppression and with nature. It slowly
sinks away on the breeze ; the heart has
ceased to throb nr glow for freedom, and
the silence of death succeeds. Does such
cruelly petrify-our hearts with horrour,
and should it not awaken our sympathy
and kindle our resentnfent ?
When we contemplate the character of
Napoleon, his immense resources, his
aspiring ambition ; when we consider that
his grand objects are every where to estab
lish despotism, every where to extirpate
liberty, we may realize the alarming situ
ttion of our country, and form some esti
mate of the all-important subjects that will
call for the decision, firmness and patri
otism of Congress; some Calculation of the
talents, wisdom and virtue necessary to
preserve the threatened liberties and inde-
pendence of the republick. There never
was a period in our history more full of
danger; an era when abilities; virtue and
patriotism were more needed in our Na
tional Councils, or more imiieriously re-
qulred by the menacing aspect of Europe.
If Congress are luke-warm and quiescent
in the cause of our country, when every
national right and honourable feeling Is
outraged by the vassals of Napoleon, well
may we invert the Roman maxim, and one
and all •• despair of the
