1'JiOU THE Los HOS “ 'i'E.ULLLEU” OF
Nov. 24.
The following proclamation of General:
Li lifers. Gov. of Buenos Ayres, was issued
on iiis receiving the first account of the pro
ceedings of Bonaparte ut Bayonne, to^etiici
with Ins institutions from Murat. Of the
complexion of the man’s mind who wrote
this proclamation, nobody can entertain a
douu lie was evidently preparing the
waV-for the acknowledgment of Joseph, «>r
pet haps the surrender of the line colony lie
■governs, into the arms of Fiance herself.—
buice that period we learn, that he has per
mitted the proclamation of Ferdinand the
?,li, in obedience to the orders from Spain,
and in conformity to the wishes of the peo
ple of ids province. On this subjective give
l.ie following extract from a fetter from
Buenos Ayres, of th. SOtU of August, 1808:
“ A Trench brig arrived here, a few days
si no: irom Bayonne, in France, which place
she left on the first of June. The news she
firings (though not particularly known,) lias
diivuu the CuuuiciiniiCV'S of out politicians
—their opinion, respecting strangers is so
far ncult ailized, that it is no longer a crime
to.speak English, audit' a crime, it isequal
ly so to speak French.—Nothing but good
management is necessary to secure a free
• trade between tiiis country and England —
'The public conversation is very loud against
N apoteon Bonaparte.
“ ’l'o-morrow will be a great day with
U5. The unfortunate Ferdinand the ?tli ha
ving been some days before the arrival of
the brig from France declared. King is to
receive the oath of fidelity from Ids subjects
hero.
“ The envoy of Bonaparte, and crew of
the brig, are under arrest. All is at pre
sent perfectly quiet, but it is consider eel pos
sible, though nut probable, that a revolution
may take place, w ithout die interference of
G. Britain.’'
Different opinions seem to ue enterta li
ed concerning ilie sincerity of Linjcrs.
For imriehts, it appears sufficient in or
der to pronounce upon him, to know that
lie is a Frenchman, and :yi officer of Bona
“part’s Legion of Honor. It would require
very strong proofs to change our opinion that
in the Proclamation of Fcidinand it is pro
bable that he onh temporises with die ne
cessities of the hour. An order from Spain
tor his removal might, perhaps, be a deli
cate matter, it he has much popularity at
Buenos Ayres; but he ought to be removed
before he is able to do irreparable mischief.
Fortunately, it is not very iikeiy that iic wiii
toon get French succours; but really we
shall not feel the least surprise in the event
of any French squadron getting out of port,
and eluding our navy, to hear of several
thousand French men being landed at Buenos
Ayres, under the appelation of Spanish
.troops, sent by his Catholic Majesty King
Joseph to defend his coiony of Buenos Ayres
against the attempts of the English. We
are convinced, on every principle of sound
policy, and of the justice one owes to one’s
self, that the Supreme Government of Spain
oaght, without delay to take all power out
of the hands of this active, clever, ambiti
ous Frenchman.—True, he dc.ended Buenos
Ayres with ability and success against the j
English ; but was it a Spanish feeling that I
animated his effort i Would he defend it j
thus against France ? We may be under j
the influence of unjust prejudices against !
this Liniers, but when we consider* that he ,
is a natural born Frenchman, that conse- :
quently Napoleon Bonaparte claims him as
his subject, and when connected with this,
we lead his artful and not Spanish Procla- ,
unation, (so different from every thing else •
that has been published even in Spanish A- j
xierica excepted ;) and when we consider i
the French honors and rewards that would j
await a fortunate treachery, which Ilona-1
paitc would call loyalty and virtue, we can- ,
not but persuade ourselves, that if he can, '
he will put the enemy ot Spain into posses
sion of that rich and important colony. It is
suul by some that “ the correspondence be- !
tween him and the Brazilian. Government!
proves him to have become friendly to the
cause of the Patriots.”—We do not so rea
dily admit such proofs as conclusive evi
dence in favor of his retaining a situation in
which lie may do so much harm. Recent
accounts brought by the Waidemaar, in 62 (
days, say, “that an arrangement had taken ;
place between the Portuguese Governor of
Buenos Ayres, by which the Rio Plutua was
to be free to all British &. Portuguse ships.” j
We shaft be happy to have this confirmed.
While we are thinking of the dangers of Bu
enos Ayres, it is with heartfelt pleasure we
mention that the Floridas have declared for
Ferdinand, and that Mexico lias voted a pa
triotic gift to the great amount, it is said, of
fourteen millions *.f dollars. In other coio- ;
nils the same spirit of attachment to the '
cause of the mother country is represented
to be general and ardent.

aider you as anxious to fix your opinion upon
a matter in which your loyalty is so deeply

for this supreme government. The clamors
of the unthinking have reduced yaur ac

“From an examination of the contents of j
all I he dispatches it appears that the em
peror of the French lias been compelled to
recognise the absolute independence ot the j
fp uish n\on.iirhy, and also that of all its

ot dismembering the minute it portion of Ls

the fidelity of this city to its lawful Sovcp
reign, is the character w hich chiefly dis
tinguishes it, and that 1 shall thankfully ad
mit every description of aid, consisting ‘ of
arms, ammunition and Spanish troops. In
times so calamitous, nothing can n much
contribute to your security, .\s union and co
incidence of south.ien. on a point so inter
esting to the public happiness. Let us im
itate the example of our ancestors in this
happy land, who wisely escaped the dis
asters that afflicted Spain in the war of the
succession, by awaiting the fate of the nio
her country, to obey t he legitimate autho
rity which occupied the sovereignty.
*• Mean while not possessing orders suffici
ently uuthnrative to countermand the royal
Cedulas of tire Supreme Council of the la

to Don l erdinand VII already announced
in my Proclainuli n of the 31st July, 1 have ’
resolved that those measures shall be pro- ;

already agreed upon, flattering myself that
in the midst of the public rejoicing and hap
piness, we shall prepare ourselves for the tri
umph.
*• I communicate this by special couriers
to all the heads of provinces on this continent,
that by adopting one uniform system, they
mar make the greater efforts to facilitate
the succours necessary to preserve the glory
acquired by a city, which from its local si
tuation and its energy, has been, and will
continue lobe, the impregnable bulwark of!
South America. But 1 cannot conclude I
without impressing upon you, and yourselves
cannot but know it, that no force is compa
rable to union of opinion and feeling, noruiiv
means more effective to preserve you and
the Constituted Authorities, who attentive
only to the public interest and benefit, will '
sec with dissatisfaction & abhorrence, every
thing that opoose or separates itself from !

POLITICAL.
COUP LFOEIL.
It is said that the French army that has enter
ed Sprin, oonsistsof eight legions; commanded
as in 1805-6. and 1807, by as many marshals_
I h< se are, aVey, Aioncty, Bess it res, AI or tier, Le
frovre, Victor. Sauit, and #ne other, whose name
does not appear ; hut from the cnteniporuneous
advices, we find that Bert/tier, liav.tusr and yu
not, wil l on ttie march ; the first, no doubt, to oc
cupy liia.important position, ms chief of the gene
ral start'; DhVoust, with his select grenadiers,
and Juuot, \v:lii bis Portuguese capituianta the
latter bad entered Spain about the date of the
battic of \ altnescda. Taking the coi ps named,
as the only corps, which was the course pursued ,
in 18u6-7, each corps completo, may be ei.tim .ted
at 25,000effectives, which alose gives 2t)0,U00
men. But we also learn, that there is to be a re
serve-, and unquestionably this will he the course, i
Perhaps the general rendezvous will be Touloust,
in the department of Upper Garonne. It stands
in much the same relative position to Spain that
Bejos served for Germany and ludy, it is equally
convenient to supply the’y»<me* (orkevs) of the
Pyrenees, which, fiir the benefit of those editors
who have not the requisite knowledge for their
stations, we state to he between Orthcs and O
i ogne, aiul St yean de Luz, on the Bayonne side ;
Inin being within the pass, and Pampeluna about
55 miles farther advanced into Spain, fit the chief
place of Navarra.
On the other coast, that is to say, of the Medi
terranean, tlie principal jfass (or key,) is between
Belle garde on the French side, and Jonquiera on
the Spanish side ; Figueras, a strong position, is
in Spain, a few miles from Jonquiei'a, and Hoses
is a bea-pnrtof Spain, farther from the key.
There is a pass in the mountain# called Saint
Louis, between the sources of the Lsgre, which
runs into Spain, and the 'l et river, which fulls in
to the Mediterranean near Perpignan,-liter which
place it is sometimes railed, as well as utter Col
lioiire a few miles further south.
There is another which leads by the sources of
one of the fin ks of the Garonne, through the val
ley d’Aran, which presents milituiy.routes cover
ed by the rivers Cinaa, /fog me ret and Palojarra ;
but as Catalonia is already occupied, and the
roads by the two coast passes me equal to any in
K.irope, on the French side ; it is not to be sup
posed that they would, witiiout necessity, resort
to any other, nor to two smaller mutes which un
to be found in the neighborhood of ip-yc-ges and
Kunccvidles, which lead directly into'’ Alta
gun.
It is now evident, that the Sqianiards are be
hind their neighbors in tlo* science of war, as bi
det d they appear to be, as a nation, behind every
other in Europe two centuries. They have du
played their incapacity for a contest against too
conquerors ot Europe, in the whole conduct of
their measures.
They appear not only to be destitute of disci
pline, but of the knowledge lio w particular troops
should he employed. Among; other strange mis
takes, they threw a corps of riflemen inti# regu
lar fortification to defend a singe with cannon and
an altork by sap—Instead of forming ■ plan of
campaign, and employing able men to execute it
—they have sent commissioner* like the French
X rocoiiMils in the early pai l of their revolution,
to push their generals forward ; they have not
indeed sent (.tit nott itui | J/tr/j in, nor /.cant# ; one
counsellors of the inquisition, and generals of the
CiOjslc, , wh.su supers!U.on was to si ppiy am
