XLj' The following address breathes a fervour,
which is worthy of inspiring s more gallant
nation than the Spaniards. Where are these
“ admirable ' efforts” which it describes ?
Where is that wonder-working spirit, which
pervades the nation, determined to die or to
be free ? Where, that unconquerable resolu
tion, which defended the republics of Greece,
and the walls of Koine ? Where, but ut the
siege of Sarrsgossa and of Gerona, and on a
few other scenes of action ? The practice of
the Spaniard* is in contrast with the** precept*.
Tin re is aremissness and. coolness in the con
duct of their people, which is little in unison
with the mnifestoes of their public councils
This add dress only proves how much better
, they defend their principles by tbe pen than
by the sword. .The nation that knows how to
second their expressions by their intrepidity
and sacrthces, may obtain the independence
which they deserve The natipn knowing what
is right, but shrinking from the maintenance of
its principles, can neither expect, nor be Ut to
btfree.
From the N. T. American Citizen.
Tlic following elegant translation was done by a
?;entieman of New-York, who has obligingly
avored the editor of the American Citizen
with it.
SnviLi.E, 29th Nov. 1809.
His majesty has been pleased to publish the
following manifesto on occasion of the peace con
cluded between Austria and France.
Spaniard* ! Our enemies positively assert that
they have made peace in Germany, and the cir
cumstances which accompany this intelligence
give it •such an appearance of certainty, as leaves
little or no room for doubt They already me
nace us wit!) tiie powerful reinforcements, which
as they suppose,are marching to consummate our
ruin ; alieady tilled with pride on account of the
favorable aspect which affairs in the North hate
lately presented to them, they presume to ima
gine that base fear can find entrance into our
hearts, and with a pretended humanity exhort us
to save ourselves by a recourse to the clemency
of the Conqueror and by beading oitr necks to
his yoke.
Unheard of insolenoe I unequalled effrontery
which will be disbelieved by posterity' in des
pite of the evidence of history ! These barba
rians dase to impute to us the evils that this coun
try suffers from their unprovoked aggression «.
to m dee us responsible for those which may in
f ut^i z tall upon her, if we prolong our resistance.
Bui since when have innocent victims been ac
cused of the ferocity with which they were mar
tyred by an inhuman sacriiicer ? These de
claimed have soon forgotten at what lime their
armies enterad Spain, in what manner they en
tered, what posts they occupied, whr.t was the
signal of combat which they gave, and all that
ser.es »f unprovoked and unexampled atrocities
which they hive committed against us. They
tliinte that because their depraved hearts are
Susceptible only of baseness when they are fee
ble, and of atiocity when strong, the minds of
Spaniards will yield up their just and high ex
pectations, because support from a particular
quarter fails them.
\Yhobas toli them that our energy is so im
peri’rct ? Docs fortune interpose greater obsta
cles ? We will redouble our efforts. Are we to
encounter more toils and more dangers ? We
shall acq uire m >re glory.
Wo, slaves of Bonaparte, lose no time in vain
sophistries, which now deceive no one. Say
frankly, we choose to be the most wicked of
men, because we believe ourselves the most
powerful; this language although that of bar
barians, is consistent and intelligible ; but at
tempt not to persuade us, that forgetfulness Of
our rights is wisdom, and cowardice prudence.
-Although votir perversity lias placed us between
ignominy and death, what can a magnanimous
nation resolve, l,ut to defend itself until death,
rather than consent to a submission so disgrace
ful ? Plunder, kill, desolate and destroy j you
have been doing so for twenty months. And
what end have you attained l Yourselves know,
it is known in the provinces which you occupy,
where in proportion to the calamities which you
inflict on them, is increased the insuperable a
version with which they regard you, the venge
ful and eternal hatred which at every moment
they swear against you.
io yield ! do these soplnsters well know what |
they council the people, the most tenacious of!
their honor upou earth ? It would be a disgrace
unexampled in the annals of our history, were
we, after such udir:rable efforts, and such in
credible successes, to fall at the feet of the
crowned slave whom Bonapale sends us for a
K*ng And why should we ? That in the midst
ot his impious orgies, of the vile ruffians, who
flatter him, and of the shameless prostitutes who
acoo'.ipany him, he may point out with his fin -
ger the temples which ara to be reduced to alli
es, the inheritances which are to be divided a
mong Ins odious satellites, the virgins and mat
ropa who are to be sent as a tribute to the . ’rer.»,li
minotnur. No, he was not born to rule over us,
that impotent and contemptible being, who suf
fers himself to be called Philosopher, and per
mits such unheard of atrocities to be com
mitted in his name and in his sight; who un
bludiingiy pretends, at the cxpence of the blood
ot men who debpise him, to rule over a nation
who unanimously detest him.
.Think not, Spaniards, that the Junta uses this
langu .ge to you to excite your valor by artificial
expressions. AVhat need is there of words,
when things speak for themselves with such
powerftil energy ? Your houses are demolished,
your temples destroyed, your fields desolated,
your families either wandering dispersed over
the plains o- precipitated into the grave. Shall
we have made so many sacrifices ; shall the flame
of war have devoured the half of Spain ; that we
may shamefully abandon the othar half to a much
more fatal peace which the enemy prepares for
her? Tor we cannot flatter ourselves with the
expectation ot better tilings from the pompous
impostor than the French themselves declare._
'The Tartar who commands them has decreed
that Spain shall leave neither industry nor com
merce, nor colonics, nor any political represen
tation. A vast and solitary pasture ground
where sheep are reared,which supply the Fren h
manufactories with tlieir precious fleece ; nur
sery of men to be led to slaughter ; misery, ruin,
degradation in all parts of the peninsula ; such
is the destiny which he intends for the. country
most favored by heaven. And w<-re it possible
that our itulifl, rence should be so great as to
permit us to abandon such precious concerns,
could we consent to the total destruction of the
lioiy religion in which we were horn, fc in which
in all our civil and poetical acta, we have sworn
to maintain ? Shall we abandon the interest* of
heaven and tfu faith of our fathers to the sacrile
gious dws .sinn of those frantic robbers ; and shall
the Spanish nation, renowned for its refined piety
throughout the world, forsake the 'sanctuary
which, during seven successive centuries, anti at
the ex pence ofthousnds of battles, our succes
sors defended from the impious ferocity of the
Sartcsn* ? Should we do so, the victims who
have perished in this reefnorable contest would
ran* up their heads and cry . us ; perfidious,
ungrateful wretches! Shall our sacrifice be in
vam ! Snail our blood have been lavished to no
purpose ?
No, hrave patriots : rest in peace, and let not
this but/'r spprrhens on disturb the tranquility of
your sepulchres. You by your glorious example
h..ve taught ms our principal duty, and we are
v/ell convinced that the peace which we ought
ardently to wish for, is not beyond our reach, but
1 before us. Bv war and combats } by dint of
Ol avery and Intrepidity, is to be obtained that
tranqoihtv, that repose of which tlu-se perfidious
wtt tchcs bare deprived us. l>o we fear to die i'
others have died bt fore m sml have thus sealed
the great oath which we all took. Who has ah
solved us from it » Who Iihn destroyed that alli
ance ol glory and of dangers in which we all
bound ourselves ? Our country is devastated,
ourselves insulted, and treated "like a herd of cat
tle which are bought, s* Id and slaughtered at
pleasure. Our king—:—Spaniards, would you
have your breasts animated by that energy vyhich
leads to victory ? Call to mind the vile and
treacherous manner in which that abominable u
surpertore him from you. He called himself
his ally, his protector, Iris friend, and in giving
him the kiss of peace, his embraces are the folds
°f a * ♦pent which enchain lire innocent victim, &
carry nim ofiln captivity. Such perfidy, unknown
to modern civilization, and scarcely used among
barbarians, was reserved to be employed against
our monarch. Yonder is groaning in solitude,
devoured with grief, surrounded by sattellitek
and spies, the idolized object of your hopes, he
whom you destined to the throne, in order that
he might rule over you inspired with beniAcencc
and justice. Sec him incessantly turning his
weeping eyes towards his country, the only mo
ll er, unfortunate princ**, that he has known in
the world ; hear him in Ins trouble invoke the va
lor of his beloved Spaniards, and demand of them
liberty or vengeance.—Peace e>::sls not, cannot
exist while these tilings be. Let Spain be free,
was formerly the uni-.crsal sentiment: Let Spain
be fiee, is now the universal sentiment :if her li
b*r.‘y cannot be obtained, let her at least become
an immense dtsart, u vast sepulchre, where
heaps of dead bodies of Frenchmen and Spaniards
may shew to future ages our glory and their
punishment.
But fortune is not so inimical to virtue, a9 to
reserve for her defenders, such a melancholy ca
tastrophe. It is written in heaven, and the histo
ry of all nations demonstrates, that the people
who decidedly love liberty and independence, e
ventu.dly oblcin those blessings in despite of all
fhe artifices and all t e violence of tyranny.
Victory which is so often a gift of fortune, is
sooner or later the recompeiu e of constancy.
Who defended the little epublics of Greece from
the barbarous invasion ol Xerxes • Who recon
structed the capitol almost destroyed by the
Gauls ? YVho saved it from the thundering arm
ot Hannibal ? YVho in later times shielded the
Swiss from German tyranny, and g*ve indepen
dence to Holland in despite of the powers of our
ancestors ? YVho in fine is it that has now inspir
ed the Tyrolese with such heroic resolution, that
though on ail sides surrounded w-ith enemies, a
baudoiicd by their protectors,and instigated sole
ly by tucir horror ol tyrants, they hare torn up
the trees and the rocks from their mountains, ar.d
with them destroyed the battalions of the conque
ror ot Lantzic ! Let u» fearlessly follow their
e-cample ; our situation is the same, the same
ardor animates us, the same hopes ought to as
sist us. The God of armies or whom we fight
w**l cover ps with his wings, and pleased with
the firm and noble manner in which we have
encountered adversity; will conduit us through
dangers and precipices to the throne of Indepeii
dense.
. Spaniards: The Junta candidly gives you this
information,because it is unwi'ling that you should
be fora moment ignorant of the new danger which
menaces the counuy : thejuata acquaints you of
it witli a confidence that instead of dismaying you,
as our enemies presume, you will raise new for
ces, and render yourselves more worthy of the
cause which you defend, and ofthe admiration of
the universe ; it acquaints you of it, because
constituted under the sacred obligation to save
the state, and certain that the unanimous desire
of Spaniards is to be free at whatever cost, no
means however violent, no recourse however ex*
traordir.ary, the aid of no person however privi
leged, will be omitted to be employed to drive
back tlic enemy. Treasures are thrown into the
sea to lighten the ship in a hurrioane, and save
her from siiipwieck i the most valuable effects,
the richest apparel are delivered to the voracity of
tile flames in order to pass over them, and eacape
the conflagration. In this situation we find* our
selves, the state is in flames, the country is sink
ing ,• strength, riches, life, wisdom, counsel,
whatever we posses* is hers ; and can we hesi
tate a moment to place every thing at her feet
for her salvution and glory ! Perish the vile ego
tist who compromise* with his duty, and hides
what he owes to his brethren for the common de
fence ? Perish a thtusuiid limes the wifetch who
abuses for ins private interest; this universal dis
ifUereatedness ? The state will persecute them as
traitors, fit where the flame of enthusiasm k'udles
not, fear and terror may pioduce prodigies—And
why not Our enemy omits no means to destroy
us, and shall we leave any untried to defend our
selves ? There are provinces which have been a
ble to drive out the enemy ; and some which have
been so fortunate as not to have suffered an in
vasion ; wid they not venture evc:r thing to ex
empt themselves from it ? Our brave soluiets
who exposed to the inclemency ofthe skies, suf
fer the rigors of winter, the hems of summer and
warning almost the necessaries of life, have al
ready sustained two campaigns and encountered
dangers and death in the hundred battles which
dicy have fought, will prepare to fight others
without being intimidated either by the number,
the skill, or the fortune ofthe cusmy ; and we
1 eposing in qi, et in our houses, we who owe to
their heroic self devotion and to their inexpres
sible toils oui security and defence : shall we he
anxious to preserve our riches, and not lose the
smallest of our enjoyments ?
Our. is the victory ; it is ours, if we caR conti
nue and conclude this undertaking with that sub
lime enthusiasm with which we began it. Of
the strength of ail, ol the sacrifices of all, must
be composed that coloss.d mass «f force »nd re
sistance which we must oppose to the efforts of
our enemy. . Ol what import is it in such a case,
if oe precipitates anew upon us the legions which
ne cun spare in Germany, or the * warm of con
scripts which lie is now about to drag from
1 ranee ! \V ith eighty thousand men less we
commenced the war : with tw o hundred thousand
more he began it. Let him replace them if he
can, let him send or lead them to this region of
t.eath, ns fatal to the oppressors as to the oppress
ed. We adding to the experience of two cam
paigns the strength of despair and rage, will des
troy those banditti as we (lid their predecessors,
and the soil fertilized by their blood, wi.i yield
us with interest the produce which they have
consumed. It the Monarchs of the north, for
getful of what *hey are and of what they may he,
consent to remain slaves of the new Tamer
lane ; if thej pure hate at such an expence the
tranquility of a moment, until the*r turn come
to he devoured ; of what import is it to us,
who are a great people, and are resolved to pe
rish or triumph ! When we have for twenty
months lilted tip the hi ir agairst tyranny• are we
now 10 at>k their consent ? Did we not enter into
the contest alone ? Ifi I we not sustain a cam
paign alone ? Europe at first refused to believe
it; when *he saw it, she looked upon it as a rash
and momentary explosion ; and on considering
at present the effects of our constancy and magna
nimity in the midst of the reverses which we
have experienced, site considers it aa a prodigious
phenomenon in the scries of political events.

None of the aids essential to our defence lias

well as generous assistance the mother country
owes so much, and on whose loyalty and zeal a
great part of our hopes rest.

LATEST FROM CANTON.
By the Brig Sylph, captain Daniel, from Can
ton, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has
received the following articles of intelligence.
Nine sail of Grilisii Kust-lndia Company’s !
ships, a 64, a frigate and a gun-brig, were lay-:
iug at Chutnpee, being detained there by the
Chinese, until they received permission from the
Court of l’fckin, to proceed to Whampoa_This
was in con-equence of the misunderstanding ,f
| the affair which occurred lust year.
The Ladrones arc disaffected to the Chinese
Government, aivl are daily increasing in power,
ate very daring, making frequent excursions up
the rivers, burning and plundering the villages,
and maasacreing all that Rtiempt to resist them,
f heir force by sea, is estimated from 900 to 1000
Junks, of from 3 lo 23 guns, and powerfully
manned—their connexions and abettors on shore,
Rfd much more numerous and widely disseminat
cd titrough the maritime provinces, w ho amply
supply the rebels with provisions fc ammunition
The efforts to suppress them bv the Vice-Rov
of Canton, is feeble and of no effect, lie having
no confidence in those he sends against them ;
as they' are as often inclined to act with the La
drones as against them.—So wide is the disaffec
tion spread, that the lower order ofthe Mandarins
are not to be trusted with the executing the orders
of' government. Their mode of warfare, is
sanguinary to the highest degree, as they murder
the native prisoners on both sides, with all the
horrors of savage barbarity. Application was
made by government, through the sectr-ity mer
chants to the Americans at Canton, for their ships
to drop down the river for a few days, to protect
the passage from the Boga-Tygriss lo Whampoa,
which tlu* Americans could not consistently com .
ply with, as being defenceless merchant ships,
and not calculated to light their battles ; altno’
a number of American seamen volunteered their
services on board of a country ship that govern
ment had chartered for a cr< :ze of 15 days, to
act in conjunction with a fle^-t of men of war
Junks, to cruize between the Boga-Tygriss and
Maccow—the latter made off to a man, as scon as
they sa\v the enemy, and left the ship to sustain
the conflict afcinc, in case the Ladrones thought
it proper to engage her. They, however, slicker
ed themselves in shoal water, not wishing to
come near her. Previous to this, about the latter
enriof August, ;8 or 20 sail of L&drone Junks,
of the largest size, made a formal attack on the
ship Alahuaipa, captain Sturges, while at anchor
in Maccow roads. Captain S. notwithstanding
part of his crew were on shore, repelled then
united attack with the utmost bravery for a length
of lime, when taking the advantage of a breeze,
cut his cable, and run under the guns of the fort
at Maccow. The spectators of this affair from
the town of Maccow, speck in the highest terms
of praise of capt. S’s Conduct, by whose spirited
bravery, and excellent management, the Atahu
alpa was rescued from such t superior force j
the Ettack was ltd on the side of the Ladrones,
by tlie Ad. Junk, of 28 guns. The Ataliualpa
mounted C six pounders, and had her rigging
much cut, and.several shot in her hull, but fortu
nately, no p rson on board was injured. A short
lime before, they captured a Portuguese brig
from Goa, bound to Maccow, which they fell in
with among the Lena Islands ; two mr.sted ves
sels are much more the object of their attack
than ships. Measures have been taken to apprize
the Americans of their danger, that they maybe
on their guard. The Ladrones only attack a
single vessel at a time, and when they fall in with
more than one, they stand off. None of the A
merican vessels at Whampoa, would sail singly,
while the Lad ones were in the river, and there
is not the least danger to be apprehended for their
safely. The Sylph came down the river under
the escort of the British country ship Russell,
■ capt. Ferguson, who politely gave his protection.

Extract oj a letter from an American, dated Lon•
don Nov. 18, 1809.
The Emperor of all the Ruasias lias confer
red the title of Chancellor on Count Nicholas Ro
manzoff, of Minister of Foreign Affairs and of
the Board of Trade. That information induces
people here to believe that his party at the Court
of Russia is stronger than ever, and that England
has no favorable change to expect in the Cabinet
of St. Petersburgh.as lowg as this nobleman is at
the head of foreign relations.
This to me is most agreeable intelligence, as I
anticipate the great advantages that our country
will deriie from it, as he will not only facilitate
the commerce of our nation, but endeavor to be
with us on terms of friendship : this is fully cor
roborated by the nomination as Minister pleni
potentiary ofthe Count Von de Pulilen, who be
longs and is connected to the greatest families of
the Empire.
Count RomanzofThas a natural hatred against
the English,whose monopolising system he wish
es to drive from the Russian ports, which he
wants to sec replaced by our Hag, he hears with
pleasure the extraordinary progress of our coun
try and probably feels a certain ch irm or parti
ality lor the form of our government which in
duces him to act thus. At all events it is a po
sitive fact that the United Stales will stand in
their own light, if they do not seize with eager
ness the present favorable moment to get a res
pectable finning on the northern part of the con
tinent of Europe.. ..Balt. Amer.
