Report of the War Minister to his Majesty the Emperor and King.
SIRE—I have the honor of laying before your majesty the state and situation of your majesty's armies in Poland, in Prussia, and in Silesia, in Denmark, in Dalmatia, in Albania, in Italy, in Naples, and in Spain. I annex to it that of your majesty's armies of reserve, at Boulogne, on the coasts, on the Rhine, and in the interior. Your majesty will perceive that France never before possessed more numerous or better appointed armies, and that they were never better kept up or better proportioned.
Notwithstanding, however, the different events which have taken place in Spain have occasioned a pretty considerable loss, in consequence of an operation as inconceivable as it is painful, the division under gen. Dupont; your majesty has notified the resolution you have taken of assembling more than 200,000 men beyond the Pyrenees, without, however, weakening either the armies in Germany, or that of Dalmatia. For the attainment of this end a levy of 80,000 men appears to be indispensable.—Your majesty can only take these 80,000 men from the four classes of the conscription of the years 1806, 1807, 1808, and 1809.
It is ascertained by the registers kept in my office that independently of the men who have married within these four years, the conscription for these years might furnish six hundred thousand. In taking from that number a levy of 80,000 men, your majesty will have called out only one conscript out of 7 and the vacancies in the armies will be filled up with soldiers of 21, 22, and 23 years of age; that is, with men fit and prepared to undergo the fatigues of war.
Nor has it escaped your majesty's foresight, that such an augmentation of forces would necessarily involve an increase of expense of several millions in the war department. It is not your majesty's wish that I should detain your attention with that object in this report—your finance minister has taken upon him to make good that charge without in any wise increasing the taxes established by the last law.
It is true, sire, that the custom observed of late years, might to a certain degree, in a part of your subjects to consider themselves as relaxed from the duty of the conscription from the moment that upon the total mass, they had furnished the complement required for the year; and under this point of view what I propose to your majesty might appear to require from your subjects a sacrifice; but, sire, there is no one but knows that by the words of the law, your majesty would be authorised to call to your standard the whole of the conscription, not only of the last four years, but even of the antecedent years; and even were the question of a real sacrifice, what sacrifice is it that your majesty has not a right to expect from the love of your subjects? Who among us is ignorant that your majesty wholly sacrifices yourself for the happiness of France, and that upon the speedy accomplishment of this high design, the repose of the world, the future safety and the re-establishment of a maritime peace, without which France can never enjoy calm and tranquillity?
In proposing to your majesty to declare, that henceforth no retrospective call shall take on an antecedent conscription, I only participate, sire, your paternal wishes.
I think it expedient at the same time to propose to your majesty to order out the conscription of 1810,
and to determine the amount of it, from the present instant, at eighty thousand men, to furnish the means as occasion may require, of forming camps of reserve, and protecting the coast in the spring time. This conscription would be raised only under the apprehensions of war with other powers, nor would it be called out before the month of January next.
Sire, it is a misfortune inseparable from the present state of Europe, that when one power exceeds the amount of the forces proportioned to its population, the other powers cannot dispense with increasing theirs to the same proportion.
England, independent of the immense number of her seamen, has on foot an army of more than two hundred thousand men; nor is she so much occupied in every session of her parliament with any thing as with the increase of her land forces. The armies of Austria have been considerably increased. France, altho' she has armies more numerous than all the other powers, has notwithstanding fewer men under arms than any of them, compared with her population.
Your minister for foreign affairs assures me that a strict alliance subsisted between your majesty and Russia. The armaments of Austria have often excited my solicitude. The same minister assured me that the best understanding was kept up with Austria, and that her levies should only be considered either as precautions, or as the effect of apprehensions, which are forcibly impressed on every court, by the numerous agents which England continues in pay on the continent.
But if it does not belong to the business of my department to dive into the views and interests of states, and explore the tortuous labyrinth of politics, it is at least my duty to neglect nothing to make your majesty's armies maintain, at all points, that just superiority which they ought to possess. The armies of Albania and Dalmatia, of Denmark, and of the Elbe, will not allow of any diminution, under the circumstances of the moment.
What I have to propose to your majesty will give the army of Spain two hundred thousand men, without weakening the other armies; so that, notwithstanding the augmentation of our force beyond the Pyrenees, when the conscription of 1810 shall be called out, your majesty will have increased your armies of Germany, of the North, and of Italy, by more than eighty thousand men.
And when, in order to escape the crisis into which she has been drawn by a false as well as angry policy, the English government, exerting every where its activity does not hesitate to combine with the resources it draws from its inexhaustible finances and its formidable fleets, the arts of intrigue and corruption, and imposture, would it be at all extraordinary that the immense population of France should hold out the spectacle of a million of armed men, ready to punish England and all those whom she may seduce and present every where the same huge mass of force, to protect with the same shield the honor and security of France?
What other result, sire, is to be expected from armies so numerous, and a position so formidable, but the speedy re-establishment of the tranquillity of Spain, that of a maritime peace, & of that general tranquillity, the object of your majesty's, incessant wishes:—much blood will have been spared, because a great number of men will have been ready to shed it. A durable happiness, prepared by the combinations of your powerful genius, will be the effect, sire, of the new proofs of affection and attachment which your people will afford you, and of the noble aspect of that nation which your majesty has pointed to posterity under the name of the Great nation.
War minister, and under this denomination, the organ of the French soldiers allow me, sire, to be the interpreter of their sentiments for you. Your majesty shall always see us ready to sacrifice our lives for your glory, which is inseparable from the national glory, to which you have so powerfully added and for the important interests of the country.
I am, with respect, &c. (This paper also contains the act of renunciation negotiated between the
prince of Peace and Doric, by which Charles the IV. and the prince of Asturias, abdicated their right of the crown of Spain to Napoleon.)
MANIFESTO OF THE JUNTA OF SEVILLE.
"The defence of our country and of our king, that of our laws, our religion, and of all the rights of man, trodden down and violated in a manner which is without example, by the emperor of the French, Napoleon I. and by his troops in Spain, compelled the whole nation to take up arms, and to choose itself a form of government; and, in the difficulties and dangers into which the French had plunged it, all, or nearly all, the provinces as it were by the inspiration of Heaven, and in a manner little short of miraculous, created supreme juntas, delivered themselves up to their guidance, and placed in their hands the rights and the ultimate fate of Spain.
"The effects have hitherto most happily corresponded with the designs of those who formed them. The provinces have armed themselves; some have formed large armies of veteran troops, and have united to them the enlisted peasants; all, or nearly all, have fought, and Ferdinand the VII. with a valor and constancy, of which neither Greece nor Rome, nor any other nation of the world, had any idea. The French are really amazed and terrified, and the hopes of conquering them are as sure as human certainty can reach.
"The only thing which can impair or frustrate them, is discord, and the want of union among the provinces themselves.—Hence the supreme junta paid its first attention to remove that danger, with which view, it printed and published the official paper entitled Precautions , which it communicated in every possible manner to all the provinces in Spain. The bringing this plan to perfection, and carrying it into execution, is now more than ever necessary. Our enemies are anxious to foment our divisions. Human passions, personal interests ill understood, the ignorance, the weakness, the blindness of men, may perhaps, without their knowing it, assist the evil designs of our enemies, and thus destroy a beginning so glorious and facilitate and consummate the total ruin of Spain. This it is that we are endeavoring to guard against, urged only by the most sacred motives, by our honor, by our loyalty, as affectionate subjects, by our duty as Spaniards, by our faith as christians; and here we protest, before God and man, whose aid we invoke with all fervency, that we will write nothing but what is dictated to us by the love of our country, the preservation of our king, and our rights, not mingling with it any thing that appears to partake of passion, of interest or of any other personal motives; but being always ready to hear the opinions of other provinces, and to amend our own errors, wherever it shall be shown that we have committed any.
"Be it the chief care to avoid every thing which is not absolutely necessary, and which may serve to sow the seeds of disunion in the provinces, and to excite divisions among them; and of this nature we esteem all conversation about the royal house, and of the order of succession in different families which derive a right from it. There is no person so ignorant of the history of Spain, and of the manner in which the throne has been occupied as not to know the changes which have taken place in the succession. It is also known what are the legislative proceedings upon this point; what the manner in which endeavors are used to introduce an alteration into them; the different pretexts for this alteration; and, lastly, the final settlement which was made by the Cortes of 1789, and which ought in future to be the rule.
"But are we in a situation to talk of these matters? Long live our king and indisputable sovereign Ferdinand the VII. and long live his august brothers, heirs of the crown, after his attested decease. Why then anticipate those enquiries which can only be necessary in default of these?—This anticipation may produce, by the diversity of opinions which it creates, a cruel disunion, which of itself alone will utterly ruin the only aim and object which Spain at present has
in view, and that is, its own entire and independent preservation for its sovereign lord and king Ferdinand the VII. and his undisputed successors; and with its king, the preservation of its own rights and laws, and the unity of the holy Roman catholic apostolical religion, which it has gloriously professed and defended for so many ages. It is therefore, both absurd and dangerous to dispute about the succession in cases evidently remote; all the provinces of Spain ought to confine themselves in this respect to this general expression—Hereditary succession according to the fundamental laws of the monarchy.
"Not so is it with the second question, moved by the various Juntas of the kingdom, which certainly keep the people in a state of disquietude and agitation, is the continual object of public conversation, and may produce divisions fatal to the generous design, and the virtuous obligations into which we have entered of defending ourselves against our enemies, and of preserving our country, our king, our monarchy, our laws, and our religion. This second question is—there is a necessity for erecting a Supreme government, which may unite the sovereign authority of all the provinces, till the restitution of king Ferdinand to his throne?
"This supreme junta declares openly, that from the beginning to the present time it has been persuaded that such a supreme government is altogether necessary, and that without it the country is in danger, and its enemies will find means of completing its ruin; and the reasons of this determination and declaration are so evident, and present themselves with such clearness to the eyes of all, that they cannot fail of convincing all who have the least notion of public affairs, or a correct insight into the nature of man, the passions which move him, and the order of human affairs in all ages. Various supreme juntas and military chiefs have expressed their convictions of this truth.
"A conviction of the same springs from the indispensable necessity of civil government in every nation whose duty it is to attend to the happiness of the kingdom, and to which the military may be subordinate. The confidence of the nation, and, consequently, the public funds and the capital of individuals, must, necessarily, have a civil government for their support. Without it the military power would, indispensably, be under the necessity of employing violence, with the view of acquiring that confidence which it never could attain, and getting a command of those capitals, which it would be equally impossible for it to bring within its grasp; and thus it would ultimately destroy that public prosperity and happiness, which ought to be the sole object of every government. Let us not vainly flatter ourselves with notions of Roman Dictators, and the other military chiefs of the ancient republics: they were placed under very prudent restraints and the duration of their authority was limited to a very short period. The dangers of complete despotism and usurpation kept them in continual alarm, and compelled them to take very rigorous precautions, which are very incompatible with the habits of modern times. Spain has derived a lesson of wisdom from the history of past ages; she has never thought of appointing a military dictator. Her military chiefs (and it is a fact most honorable to the name) have been the first to embrace, with the utmost cordiality, a system of things as ancient in Spain as the monarchy itself. The experience of our times—the confidence of the people in the Supreme Juntas—the facility and abundance with which pecuniary resources have been placed at their disposal—the heroic loyalty with which the military chiefs and the army have acknowledged and obeyed them, and the happy issue hitherto of their civil administration and the military enterprizes which they have directed, have placed in the most conspicuous light, and established beyond all doubt, this fundamental truth and most essential political principle.
"But who is to create this supreme civil government? Who are to compose it? Where shall be its place of residence? What the extent of its authority? How shall it be established
without interrupting the public tranquillity, and producing disunion among the different provinces? How is the opinion to be so regulated as that, without opposing it, this tranquillity shall be attained, and all of risk of disturbance, obviated; These are the important and serious questions which we shall now proceed to examine; and upon which, influenced solely by the love of our country, and our anxiety to promote its welfare, we will enter into a frank explanation of our sentiments.
"In the various papers that have been published upon this subject, we are told that the Cortes should assemble; that they should elect representatives; and farther, that the old council of Castile should convoke them, and the whole of the proceeding should be executed under its authority.
"Most assuredly we do not understand the grounds upon which this decision rests. The council of Castile, though a lawful assembly, never convoked the Cortes. Why then should we give it an authority which it does not possess? Is it because it lent the whole weight of its influence to such important changes, with regard to which it had no powers, nor any authority whatsoever? Is it because it has acted in opposition to those fundamental laws, which it was established to preserve and defend? Is it because it afforded the greatest facility to the enemy to usurp the sovereignty of Spain, to destroy the hereditary succession, of the crown, and dynasty, legally in possession, and recognized and seated on the throne a foreigner, destitute even of the shadow of a title to it; for it is incontrovertibly manifest, that the renunciation of Charles IV. in his favor gave him no such claim? What confidence could the Spanish nation place in a government created by an authority invalid and illegal, and which had also rendered itself suspected, by the previous commission of acts of so horrible a description, that they may be justly ranked with the most atrocious crimes against the country?
"The council of Castile being thus excluded from all consideration—who should convoke the Cortes?—The authority to convoke them is a part of the peculiar and exclusive prerogative of the king. The provinces would not submit to any other authority; they would not unite; there would be no Cortes; and should a few delegates assemble, that very circumstance would expose the kingdom to division—the evil which all wish to avoid.
"Besides, the cities who have votes in Cortes have not undertaken the defence of the kingdom, nor of themselves, nor in their corporate capacity, have they made any efforts to defend it. We entertain the most profound respect both for them and their rights; but truth compels us to speak out.
"Most undoubtedly, however, the cities who have votes in the Cortes, in thus conducting themselves, acted with consummate prudence, and with a due observance of law. The kingdom found itself suddenly without a king, and without a government—a situation indeed unknown in our history and to our laws. The people legally resumed the power of appointing a government; and this truth has been openly avowed by various supreme juntas. The people created these juntas without paying any regard to the cities who have votes in the Cortes. The legitimate power is therefore deposited with the supreme juntas, and in virtue of that power, they have governed and do govern with real authority, and have been and still are acknowledged and obeyed by all ranks of subjects, and by all cities in their respective districts, having votes in the Cortes. Their situation has not changed; the danger still exists; no new authority has supervened; the lawful authority therefore resides entire in the juntas which the people created, and to which they confided it.
"It is, therefore, incontestible that the supreme juntas have the sole and exclusive right of electing those who are to compose the Supreme Government, as the only means of protecting and preserving the kingdom whose defence the people have entrusted to them, and which cannot be accomplished but by the establishment of a

Supreme Government. Nothing more evident than this truth.
"And whom shall the supreme junta elect? Most certainly individuals of their own body; for they alone derive their power from the people, and it is in their constituent members that the people have reposed their entire confidence. Should any other persons be chosen, they would possess neither the confidence nor the consent of the people, and all their acts would be null and void; and from this want of confidence, the nation would be exposed to intestine divisions the last and greatest of all our calamities."
"Hence, if there be any province in which the military power has alone been retained, results the absolute necessity of constituting supreme juntas, in which the power of the people shall reside, and by which they may act. Whether they shall be constituted by the petty Cortes or any other bodies, their appointment in some form or other, is indispensable, in order to the concentration of the legitimate power of the people, and proceed to the choice of persons who shall compose the Supreme Government, which under the present circumstances, cannot be legitimate, unless it has its origin in the free consent of people."
"It seems then to be indispensable necessary, that all the supreme juntas, meeting on the same day, should each elect, from among their own members two deputies to form the supreme government, and the persons so elected should, from that moment, be reputed, and actually be the Governors General of the kingdom; and that as such they should be universally acknowledged and obeyed."
"Their authority is well known, and cannot be subject to any doubt. The supreme junta of Valencia has most judiciously marked its extent and limits, in the paper which they published on this question, on the 16th of July. We shall, therefore, be excused going more at large into the consideration."
"We will only add, that the supreme junta ought to be continued with all their appointments and insignia, and be invested with the internal governments of their respective provinces until the conclusion of the present state of things, but at the same time under due subordination to the supreme government. In those supreme juntas resides the legitimate power of those portions of the people who have respectively created them. It is their duty to take measures for insuring the happiness of constituents, through the medium of a just government, and vigilantly to protect and defend the right of every individual among them. For this purpose they ought to give their instructions to their respective deputies, constituting the supreme government—and it will be the duty of the latter to observe them, and to represent and support the claims of their provinces, as far as may be consistent with the general prosperity."
"If there existed among us a royal personage, capable of presiding in this supreme government, reason and justice prescribe that he, and no other should be appointed to that office. But if there be no such royal personage, the supreme government must elect a president from its own body. To obviate every danger however, the presidency should be temporary, and continue only for a fortnight, a month, or any other term, agreeable to the supreme government upon the lapse of which period it should be incumbent on them to choose a different person."
"We have already remarked, and it is unnecessary to repeat it, that the supreme juntas should elect, as deputies to the supreme government such of their members as are most distinguished for their talents, and general knowledge of legislation, and all the branches of public welfare and government, recollecting that they are to be the depositaries of the hopes of the kingdom. This supreme junta, in full reliance upon the generous character of Spaniards, and their ardent attachment to the good of their country, assures itself that intrigue, party, or personal interest, or predilections, will have no influence upon this occasion."
"The supreme juntas will, in the first instance appoint the place which shall be the seat of the supreme government, who shall afterwards adhere to or alter that appointment, as they think fit, according to a plurality of votes. The seat of government, as has been most wisely observed by the supreme junta of Valencia, ought to be at a distance from all the dangers of war, and should as a claim to preference, possess other advantages of a local nature. Seville conceives herself to possess all these advantages, but has no anxiety to be selected, for she will most cordially sacrifice all her claims to what the other supreme juntas shall decide to be for the general prosperity of the kingdom."
The supreme juntas will therefore make known their pleasure as to this point, when they notify the election of their deputies. In the mean time we will frankly state, that La Mancha appears to us most convenient for the seat of government, and there we would particularly name its large cities of Cindal, Real, or Almagro. But on this subject we are no wise anxious, we leave it entirely to the free choice of the supreme juntas."
"It remains only that we speak of this Supreme Junta of Seville, upon which point we shall not say much. Certain persons, either ignorant or malevolent, have endeavored to spread the persuasion that we affected a superiority over the other provinces.—Any such thought has been far from us, although the general good of the nation has been our determinations. We possessed the only foundary for cannon in the kingdom, and arms and ammunition in a certain degree of abundance. Various captain generals acknowledge that from the commencement, our veteran troops were more numerous in our province than in other parts; and thus we formed an army in a shorter time, and have harassed the enemy, who have surrendered prisoners of war, with their gen. Dupont, and have capitulated for the divisions of gens. Vedel and Gobert, who are to be conducted to France, amounting altogether to 17,000 men, so that there does not remain a single French soldier in arms in the Andalusias, a victory most glorious and singular, which has been effected without the effusion of much Spanish blood, in which it appears we stand alone."
"The local situation of the Andalusias presents also a more probable mode of defence against the arms of Napoleon, if he means to attack us; and, with this view, we have united with us the Portuguese provinces of Argava and Alentexo, who have placed themselves under our protection; and the Canary Isles have sent us a deputy for the same purpose."
"The greater opulence and other peculiar circumstances of their provinces offer resources which the rest want; and we have thus been enabled to make provision for immense expense, not having received any money from any other part, or imposed any contributions."
"The marine arsenal of the Isle of Leon, perhaps the most considerable of all, obeyed us from the beginning, and with it the Spanish squadron off Cadiz, whose force is the greatest, and has since been augmented by that of the French moored in that harbor, and surrendered to us at discretion."
"Gibraltar, the famous English fortress, is in our territory, and one of the most numerous squadrons of that nation kept our coast in a state of blockade. We immediately, therefore, opened a communication with Gibraltar, and with the English squadron, which has given us all the assistance that was in its power, sent us a resident minister at the very first, and conveyed our deputies to London, to request subsidies, and settle a peace advantageous to the whole nation."
"We have transmitted all the arms which it was possible to transmit to Grenada, Estramadura has received a still greater number, and has experienced our protection, and so has Cordova and Jaen. We have offered arms to La Mancha, to Murcia, to Tarragon, to Gerona, who requested them of us, and we exerted ourselves to the utmost to fulfil the promises which we had made."
"We have not forgotten the rest of the European provinces and kingdoms, and we hope in time that the effects of our zeal and vigilance will be made clear and public."
"The Americas claimed at first a great share of our attention, in order to preserve that so important a part of the Spanish monarchy. We have sent envoys and commissaries thither, and to Asia, in order that they may unite themselves to us, which we could not do without qualifying ourselves as the Supreme Junta for the government of Spain and the Indies, and we trust that this title and our cares will not be found useless. So many labors, surrounded by so many dangers will, we trust deserve some consideration of our country, for the love and defence of which only we have done and suffer so much."
"With all this, we repeat, that we neither affect nor desire any superiority. Whatever we have done, we owed to our country: it was an indispensable obligation upon us. Our only object is, that Spain may preserve its integrity and independence, for our Lord and King Ferdinand VII. and for that object we joyfully sacrifice our lives."
"May God, who has so clearly and marvellously shewn his protection to
Spain, grant a safe return to its king, Ferdinand VII. and then, with the Supreme government, he will determine what may be his royal will, either commanding an union of the Cortes, or by such other means as his prudence may suggest, and will facilitate the reform of abuses, and the general happiness of the kingdom, securing it upon such foundations as are firm and subject to no change."
"If these hopes are vain, in which the clemency of God leads us to indulge; then the existing Supreme Government will itself determine what is most conducive to the interest of the kingdom, conforming itself to the fundamental laws thereof, defending it against the fury and malice of our enemies, and preserving this monarchy in which itself, the liberty of the nation, and the Catholic Church, the beloved Spouse of our Lord Jesus Christ, is so deeply interested."

The following has been translated for the North-American, from a Havana paper of the 28th September. It removes the rumor, that the viceroy had not followed the example of all other Spaniards, in adhering to Ferdinand the VIIth.
PROCLAMATION
Of his Excellency the Viceroy. To all the inhabitants of New Spain.
Most faithful inhabitants of these kingdoms, when on the 11th instant, I made known to you in consequence of the determination of the general council, held on the 9th, the resolution which it concluded upon in a meeting so wise and so respectable, I acquainted you that the atrocity without example committed against our beloved sovereign Ferdinand 7th, the the royal family and all Spain, of which I suppose you minutely apprised, by the information, proclamations and other papers, printed in this capital, would afford to the heroism of our nation in the peninsula, by its consequences, and the machinations of the enemy, which has overturned Europe, a progressive series of successes, which without doubt would require as many more provisions and deliberations.
On my part I have adopted and incessantly repeat all that in the actual state of things I thought could be necessary in order that the arms and cowardly seduction (considering the vile and deceitful manner in which Spain has been invaded) of the emperor of the French, and in whose favor many kingdoms have been conquered and betrayed, may never trouble your quiet, invade your property nor diminish in an atom the religion and conspicuous fidelity, that rivalled those of the whole world for almost three centuries, and constantly formed your character. I calculate on a respectable number of disciplined and obedient troops in different places of the kingdom, and many others full of enthusiasm and honor for their religion and king, all under the command of generals, the most prudent, valorous and disposed in the extreme to shed the last drop of blood, in obedience to the sacred interests of these precious dominions, the faithful adorers of the true God, and lovers of a protecting monarch, the father of his subjects, for his safety and love, who has been almost voluntarily immolated in the cradle of his reign, though he is the best that the world contains.
We ought then to draw more and more together the sacred and intimate union that by so many titles of religion, law and convenience, unites and constitutes exclusively, the entire basis of our reciprocal felicity and defence, inasmuch, that it unfortunately, in our view has been in the most powerful countries of the east the active cause of real slavery.
Let us live united, if we desire to be invincible and remove from us the misfortunes, which are the necessary consequence of all disunion and rivalry—If any should conspire against those wholesome maxims of safety, by means of seditious conversations, infamous libels, or in any other manner whatever, to dissolve the social ties which support our union and identity of sentiments; he without doubt ought not to exist among us—impeach him immediately, with truth and evidence to the judges, that being informed of the offence, by the summary means, which the cause demands, they may refer it to the respective superior tribunals—to the end, that on account of the scandal and ignominy,
he may suffer without reprieve the punishment of treason the most execrable.
Let us be prepared according to our respective faculties, at the cost of depriving ourselves and wanting what is necessary, to be able at the first opportunity to assist the mother country, our fathers, brothers and relatives, who in order to live in our beloved country, subsist in the midst of the threshold of blood, and perhaps under the privation of the most necessary articles of life, pouring with the last breath, vows for the altars, the throne and your own honor, on which would have been placed a blot the most dark and indelible, if with an heroism that has no example, they had not voluntarily delivered themselves up to fire, the dagger and death; removing by an instantaneous, and almost miraculous transmutation, the lethargy in the road of glory, which had paralyzed our beloved peninsula, to the disgrace of religion, majesty, and of that which Spaniards have always in the face of the world owed to themselves by their faith, valor and loyalty, ever uncontaminated and unequalled.
Often times assured of your perfect fidelity, I calculate with the most certain confidence, on whatever relates to the renown and comfort of our beloved sovereign Don Ferdinand 7th, all the royal race of Bourbons, and the sacredness of the laws that fortunately govern us, render us happy, and are the example by which we ought to regulate our proceedings, and even the smallest action; together with your persons, your fortunes, and what can be facilitated by the inexhaustible zeal that animates you. I confide in the opinions of the authorities, formed of the most wise and upright ministers, and flatter myself to find in all the professions, chiefs and bodies, even much more of the aid which I can promise myself; all to confirm the repeated proofs, which have been given of their estimable faith and honor.
Be ready, that at the call of that voice which animates you, we may fly to resist and confound the enemy, wherever and in whatever manner he may present himself, to preserve these kingdoms in peace and opulence for our beloved sovereign, and his royal line, with the inimitable wisdom of their own laws, being certain the Almighty, and the most holy, and our mother Maria of Guadalupe, patron of these dominions, assisting you, you will follow the road of the most complete triumph to the summit of the most honorable glory, to which a Catholic patriot and subject can aspire—you will transmit to posterity your memory, in a manner enduring to the remotest ages.
Dated in the Royal Palace of Mexico, 27th August, 1808. JOSEF DE YTURRIGARAY.

WASHINGTON CITY.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 31.
The British minister, Mr. Erskine, has arrived in this city.
The Hope brings dispatches of a late date from both France and England, which will, no doubt be laid before Congress, in detail, and be soon published, as that body meet this day week. In the mean time, it may not be improper to repeat, that the terms offered by our government, which, as far as we have been able to obtain them, have been faithfully given to the public, and which have extorted even the approbation of the federalists, are such as will, if not accepted, rally every American citizen round his government.
As it is now reduced to a certainty that Mr. Madison will have a decided majority of the electoral votes, it may be rationally expected that every republican elector will vote for him. There undoubtedly was originally a number of republicans, some of whom were more friendly to the election of Mr. Clinton, and others to that of Mr. Monroe. So long as there remained any chance of producing a general concurrence in favor of either of these gentlemen, it is not surprising that their respective friends persevered in recommending them to the favor of the people. But now, when all such chance is over, we are confident that every republican elector will consider it his duty to vote for Mr. Madison. Because, it is admitted generally by the republicans that Mr. Madison possesses the requisite qualifications for the Presidency, and because they will also feel it to be a duty, at this interesting crisis, to support the individual placed in that important office by the full strength of the republicans. The federalists have come out in all their might; foreign governments identify their opposition with that of the tories of old, or, in other words, consider that opposition as meant to play into their hands. It, consequently, becomes all-important for the republicans, or in other words, the whigs, to shew themselves in their full strength, and to prove, that however they may be divided on subordinate points, they are indivisible on whatever respects the solid welfare of their country; and that, above all, they will be unanimous in their resistance of that tribute and vassalage which are now attempted to be imposed upon their country. By centering all the republican votes in Mr. Madison, the vast preponderance of the republicans will be manifest; and this only will perhaps effectually dissipate the deceptions which have been spread in Europe. Every friend to his country must wish to see his government armed with the means of resisting the unjust aggressions of foreign powers. No means can be more availing than those derived from the decided and unequivocal support of the great majority of the people, which will prove that all the opposition, so vehemently urged to the measures of our government, is a party opposition, and which foreign governments will know how to appreciate. They will see nothing in it but the attempt of the outs to get in.
On the other hand, should the republican votes be scattered, they can answer no other purpose than that of diminishing, without destroying Mr. Madison's majority. He will unquestionably be President, notwithstanding. But foreign governments may still continue under a delusion, and suppose they have more partisans than they really have, and will be thus emboldened either to persist in their present, or in still more aggravated acts of injustice. As to the few votes given to Mr. Clinton and Mr. Monroe, they will serve to shew any thing rather than that they possess the confidence of their country.
The Constitutional Republicans of Reading, Pennsylvania, have determined to abandon the electoral ticket previously agreed upon by them, and to support that agreed upon at Lancaster, without any alteration. From this we infer that the votes given for Mr. Spayd as Governor will be given in support of Mr. Madison.
To repeal the false statements of the federal prints, the Editor of the Trenton True American has given a full statement of the votes in the respective counties at the late election for New-Jersey, by which it appears that of the aggregate votes given in the whole state the republicans had a majority of 3,293. The same print says there is no doubt of the republican majority being much greater for Electors. It is equally certain that every republican Elector will vote for Mr. Madison as President, as there is not the slightest division on this point among the republicans.

ELECTIONS.
South Carolina. We have received a letter from a very respectable correspondent at George Town S. C. dated the 16th inst. from which the following is an extract, which not only confirms the result of the elections in this state, but exhibits a triumph of republicanism, much beyond our expectations, and proves that the crisis so far from having dismayed, has only served to rouse the spirit of the south.
Extract —"Great exertions have been made at our elections, by both parties, and I am happy to say the issue has been much in favor of republicanism. Our Senate, composed of 37 members, will have at least 30 republicans, and the House of Representatives, of 124 members, about 100 republicans [making a majority in joint meeting, which chooses the Electors, of 99.] General Pinckney has therefore no chance of a vote in this state, and Madison will get the whole ten. Mr. Marion is re-elected by about two votes to Mr. Lowndes's one. Mr. Williams has declined, and two republicans have set up. I have heard nothing respecting the other districts. Republicans will certainly be elected in each, and Mr. Taylor one of them."
Pennsylvania. The following is a correct statement of the votes west of the Mountains, so far as received.
   For Governor Snyder. Ross.     Alleghany 2,118 1,249   Beaver 1,125 359   Washington 3,680 1,067   Fayette, wanting one district 2,234 911   In which majority of 50   Westmoreland 1,858 1,261   Armstrong 504 291   H Somerset, majority 1,124 297  
12,693 5,435 5,435 Present majority 6,158
The "Commonwealth" says from these returns, it is expected that Mr. Snyder's entire majority west of the Mountains will exceed 10,000. Every county from this district has sent republican representatives to the assembly.
For Congress.
   For S. Smith, rep. 3,296   Foster 1,643   For John Smilie, rep. 2,061   Thomas Meason 1,081   For Aaron Lysle, rep. 3,425   John Hamilton 1,053  
Although these are not all the votes given for members of Congress, we believe Messrs. Smith, Smilie and Lysle, all republican, are unquestionably elected. Most of those opposed to them are republicans likewise. Mr. Findley is said to be also elected.
We have received by the Hope a regular file of Paris prints to the 9th ult. inclusive. They do not contain any intelligence of much information. Such articles as are worthy of notice shall be given in our next paper.
We have likewise London prints to the 24th ult.; the most interesting contents of which are inserted in our columns.
Capt. Woodward enumerates seventeen American vessels condemned in France, three remaining under seizure at Bourdeaux, five remaining under the embargo, and two waiting trial.
In addition to the foreign intelligence under the New York head, we are enabled from various prints to add the following:
Napoleon had not, as was expected in England, left Paris on the 9th of September—nor was his having left Paris at the latest dates ascertained.
The French troops and those of the confederation of the Rhine were marching with great rapidity to the right bank of the Rhine. These movements were considered as strongly indicative of a war between France and Austria, although the official prints of both countries ridicule all such apprehensions.
All English residents in Paris had received orders to quit that place in 24 hours.
A report, prevalent in London on the 18th of September, of France having declared war against this country, had on the departure of the Hope entirely subsided.
Covent Garden theatre, valued at 700,000 dollars, has been destroyed by fire, and twenty lives lost.
A Copenhagen article of the 21st of August, says that a serious misunderstanding exists between England and Sweden, and that Mr. Thornton, the English minister at Stockholm, was certainly recalled.
The French Senate had agreed to the calling out of the conscription of 1810.
The latest London prints are full of speculations relative to an expected general action between the Spaniards and French. The armies of Blake, Palafox and Castalar were advancing
towards the frontiers of Navarre and Biscay, to give battle to the main French army, whose head quarters were at Lograno, the residence of Joseph Bonaparte. The English prints express the greatest apprehensions of the result.
New-York, Oct. 27.
LATEST FROM EUROPE.
Yesterday morning the packet schr. Hope, Captain Woodward, arrived at this port from France and England, with dispatches for our government.
The Hope left Havre on the 12th of Sept. and Cowes on the 28th.
Capt. Woodward, who is the bearer of the dispatches from our minister in France; and Mr. Atwater, who is entrusted with those from our minister in London, will proceed this morning for the city of Washington.
Capt. W. informs us, that the day before he left Havre, news reached that place, that the Emperor Bonaparte had directed the minister of marine to stop all proceedings against American vessels until further orders; that as far he could discover, our negotiations with France had not experienced any recent change;—that Bonaparte was sending a very powerful army into Spain; and that the other continental powers remained in a state of tranquility.
Mr. Atwater left London on the 25th of September; and informs us, that it was the opinion of the merchants in London, that the British orders in council would not speedily be revoked.
By the Hope, the Editor of the Mercantile Advertiser has received a file of London papers & Lloyds list to 24th of September, 7 days later than our advices by the Richard.
London, Sept. 20. That a number of Americans have escaped from France and arrived at Guernsey, under an apprehension that they would be imprisoned had they stayed longer in that country, is fully confirmed by letters received yesterday from Falmouth.
London September 22. A letter is said to have reached town from an officer in sir James Saumarez's squadron, stating that on his junction with sir Samuel Hood, at Baltic Port, the detachments of royal marines from the British squadron were landed on the island, at its entrance, where the Russians had taken post and erected heavy batteries; that after a most severe action with the enemy (who were far superior in numbers) our brave fellows succeeded in dislodging them, a part of the Russians surrendering & the others escaped in boats to their ships. At the time the letter was sent off, our men were re-embarking on board their ships, which being effected, it was the gallant admiral's intention immediately to enter the port, and give the enemy battle. The writer adds, "of the result no doubt could be entertained. Our loss in this service is stated to be very great, as our marines had to sustain a tremendous fire of grape and musketry, before a landing could be effected."
No intelligence of this nature has been received at the admiralty.
A gentleman is arrived from Paris, which he left a few days ago. It was generally believed that Massena would have the chief command of the army in Spain, if his health would permit him. Bonaparte and he were shooting the other day near St. Cloud, when Bonaparte fired his gun so close to Massena as to do considerable injury to his eye. It is apprehended that he will lose the sight of it. In the mean time marshal Ney has been dispatched to Spain. Within the last month, between 30 and 40,000 cavalry have passed through Paris.
September 23. —Mr. Atwater, the gentleman who brought the last dispatches by the Hope from America, sets off on his return to his native country on Friday next. This gentleman is not understood to take out any intelligence from our government that is at all calculated to allay the spirit of irritation prevailing in America, or to facilitate the complete reconciliation of the two governments. In fact serious apprehensions are entertained, and by persons, too, not likely to be uninformed, that there is no probability of an amicable termination to the discussions which have so long gone on between the two governments. It is said that our government decidedly refuses to rescind the Orders in Council, or make any modification in them favorable to America, and the American government therefore express their resolution, or speaking more correctly in the language of the American constitution, their opinion that the embargo will not be removed, or even relaxed, until the Orders in Council are rescinded; nay more, until the American flag shall be guaranteed from the molestation of our vessels upon any pretence whatever. Such is the representation that has reached us, and we feel inclined to believe it.
sentation that has reached us, and we feel inclined to believe it.
A mail and dispatches from Corunna reached town this morning, bro't by the Snapper schooner, arrived at Plymouth, and also dispatches from Gijon, brought by the Peruvian sloop, arrived at the same port. The vessel from Corunna brings a report that the four principal Spanish armies had formed a junction, and had nearly reached Burgos, where Joseph had taken up his residence, and where the French army were stationed, who had determined to give the Spaniards battle; but this is superceded by the Spanish papers to the 15th inst. which we received by the mail.
It appears in these papers, by an article from Madrid of the 7th, that Joseph and the French head-quarters were at the city of Lograno, on the borders of Old Castile, near Navarre. They had marched by Tudela into Arragon, but suddenly retreated, which is attributed to the intelligence they received of the movements of the Spanish armies. It is mentioned in one of the papers, that the Arragon army had been compelled to make a retrograde movement from Tudela to Borja. This took place most probably in consequence of the above-mentioned movement of the French army, whose object in making it appears to have been to prevent their retreat from being cut off by the Arragon army and other troops obtaining a position in their rear. The station thus taken by the French army is in conformity with the statement in the Paris papers, which we noticed on Monday, of their having occupied positions in the line of the Ebro, where they were throwing up tetes du pont , and seems to indicate their intention of endeavoring to maintain for a time at least, a defensive war. A letter from Gijon, of the 15th, states, that the French, after collecting the chief part of their force from Navarre and Biscay, to the amount of near 30,000, had suddenly made an irruption into Arragon, with the view of getting possession of Saragossa; but when within seven leagues of the city, they received such intelligence as induced them to retreat, and that their headquarters were then at Miranda del Ebro, in Navarre. This letter also states, that Palafox had fallen back to Borja, in consequence of the advance of the French army, greatly superior in numbers. The intelligence of 70,000 Spaniards being on their march from Madrid to Saragossa, is supposed to have caused the retreat of the French. The Spanish general, Blake, is supposed to have occupied Burgos, the last accounts having left him at Reynosa.
The whole of the intelligence is highly satisfactory. It appears clear that the French in Spain, with their present force, are wholly unable to make a stand against the Spaniards, unless enabled to do it by the strength of their positions; and if the French should succeed in keeping their ground and in reinforcing their army to any great extent, it is evident that the Spaniards will have ample means and opportunity, in the interval, of collecting and disciplining a very large army, to meet the increased force of their enemy. The most pleasing hopes may therefore be entertained of ultimate success to the glorious cause of the Spanish nation. Cuesta had established his headquarters at Aldea del Tornier.
The Russian ambassador at Madrid had set out for Lisbon.
The captain of a vessel arrived at Carthagena had stated, that the French were evacuating Naples, the whole kingdom being in a state of insurrection against them.
The second son of the king of the two Sicilies, and the duke of Orleans, have arrived at Gibraltar.
A letter from an officer in the expedition under the command of sir David Baird, dated Cork, the 15th inst. says, "We are this morning getting under weigh with 7000 troops on board, destined for Italy."
Several fire ships, we understand, have been prepared in the Baltic, for the purpose of an attempt to burn the Russian fleet in Rogerswick bay.
London, Sept. 23. —A treaty signed on the 8th inst. between M. Chamagnay, minister for foreign affairs, and his royal highness Prince William of Prussia, has put an end to all differences which existed between France and Prussia.
Sept. 24. —An extraordinary gazette, published by the Junta of Seville, dated the 22d ult. contains a detail account of the battle at Gerona, on the 16th, in which the French under Dumesne, were completely defeated, with the loss of their artillery and baggage.
Letters from Stockholm have reached town which state that subsequent to the 17th, the Swedes had another battle with the Russians in Finland between Bjornburg and Christienstadt, the result of which was a decisive victory on the part of the Swedes.
The Russians left 2000 dead on the field of battle. The Swedes had 22 officers, and upwards of 800 privates killed and wounded. General Constedt fell as he was charging at the head of his corps. The Russians in consequence of this defeat, are stated to have fallen back from Abo to the distance of between thirty and forty miles on the road to St. Peterburgh. The Swedes had on some points marched upwards of fifteen miles beyond the Russian frontiers.
Liverpool, Sept. 17. —Marshal Ney has already passed through Bayonne on his way to the French army at Burgos, and it is probable that he will be appointed commander in chief of all the French forces intended to act against Spain. He is certainly an officer of consummate ability, very superior to any of those who have hitherto been employed in that country. The conflict is now about to assume an aspect truly formidable. It will present a field for the exercise of patriotism and bravery, almost beyond any that has ever been exhibited in the page of history. To resist the torrent of force which is now preparing to overwhelm the Spanish nation, will require all the resources of courage and conduct, fortified by invincible perseverance and prepared for every sacrifice. If the Spaniards shall finally triumph in this glorious cause, they will present the most august spectacle to the world which has been exhibited since the invasion of Greece by the monarchs of Persia.
The confident expectation of an approaching war between France and Austria, is at present greatly abated. That nation has either been amused by Bonaparte or awed into submission, by the concurrent threats of France and Russia. Whatever be the cause, it is much to be wished that her inactivity may for the present continue. Austria must still be considered as the sheet anchor of Europe, and in happier times and under other circumstances, may yet be found competent to effect her salvation. But it was not the time to rush upon war when the best generals and armies of France were hanging upon her frontiers. When all the positions most favorable for an invading force, were actually held by the enemy, and her own armies were incomplete and unorganized. The time for the interference of Austria is not yet arrived. If the Spaniards should be enabled to make such a stand, as to compel Napoleon to draw off the strength of his armies from Germany, and (which has already happened in part,) to leave Prussia without much control, then will be the time for an active, vigorous and simultaneous movement of all the remaining continental powers which can be brought to act. This is the way, though perhaps not the only way which presents a hope of reducing the overgrown power which Bonaparte has been suffered to establish.
The patriots have now had full notice of the intention of their enemy, and have time for preparation. They are now aware of the impending storm and it is said no longer decline the co-operation of the British troops. This is, indeed, indispensable to the success of the common cause, and no jealousies ought to prevent the most intimate union of the armies of the two nations, if prudence and necessity shall be found to require it. From Bonaparte's late Expose thus much at least may be learnt, that the aid of regular troops, proper artillery, and disciplined cavalry, are of the highest importance in the present contest.
New York, October 27.
Extract of a letter from Bordeaux, dated Sept. 5, received by the Hope.
"The position of the United States as far as respect the two great belligerents is not likely to be changed. A considerable number of American vessels and cargoes have been lately condemned here, and will be sold in the course of the month. Remittances can be made in any manner directed."
PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE OF THE REGISTER.
"London September 22, 1808.
"I am writing by the Hope that carries out the American dispatches—when Congress meets, I presume the answers of England and France will be known and published. Were I to conjecture an opinion, it would be, that the whole system of decrees, orders of council, and embargoes will remain, until a general peace can settle greater points—Differences proceed more from the state of politics, than as contests between the two countries."
Private letters from England, per the Hope, do not breathe the most conciliating spirit. So far from G. Britain relaxing her maritime orders, she is giving additional rigor, and extent to her restrictions. It is said, that she has absolutely and peremptorily refused to rescind or modify her
orders in council. Our trade to India is to experience new restrictions. American vessels are not to be permitted to clear out for India from any other than a port in the United States, nor will they be allowed to touch at any intermediate port on their passage, except through necessity, which must be proved. Double duties are also to be exacted.
From France, we do not learn that any material change has taken place in her conduct towards us. Nothing definitive has been done on the subject of American property under seizure; although in some particular cases, indications have been shewn of a disposition to compromise.
The London Times of September 24 contains a particular account of a battle between the French and Spaniards at Gerona on the 18th August, in which the French under Dumesne were completely beaten, and driven into their only remaining strong holds in Catalonia, viz. Barcelona and Figueras.
Relph's Gaz.
Trenton, Oct. 25.
The Legislature of this state met this day, and both Houses formed quorums. In Council, Ebenezer Leek, Esq. was chosen Vice-President and James Linn, Esq. Secretary. In Assembly, Lewis Condit, Speaker; and James Wilson, Clerk, all republicans & without opposition. Our majorities are as you have stated 6 in Assembly, 1 in Council, and 7 in joint meeting. A committee was appointed to enquire into the validity of the congressional and electoral law of last sitting, and to report by bill or otherwise. This is in order to remedy a defect in the law which was overlooked when it passed. The law of Congress requires the Electors to be chosen within thirty-four days preceding the first Wednesday in December; whereas by our law they were to be appointed 36 days preceding said Wednesday. But whether the people or the legislature choose the electors, you will see the republicans are safe, unless they play the fool as Sampson did, and are like him shorn of their strength while asleep.
The gun-boats stationed on Lake Barataria have been very successful in capturing vessels engaged in violating the embargo laws. A letter from a gentleman on board No. 19, dated at New Orleans, August 26, states, "that the amount of prize money to each man belonging to her will be upwards of 2,000 dollars." He further states "we are erecting telegraph houses along the river, and shall sail in a few days for our old station, where we confidently expect to meet with a repetition of our former good fortune."
The Legislature of Vermont have re-elected Moses Robinson, a republican, Senator, and likewise the old Judges of the Supreme Court. They have rejected a motion for filling the vacancies occasioned by some of the members of the House being elected Councillors.
On the 18th of August a fierce contest took place between the Spaniards, under Count Caldaques, and the French, under general Dumesne, occasioned by the effort of the former to compel the latter to raise the siege of Gerona. The force of the French is said to have been 8,000—The Spaniards were completely victorious, and routed the French after great slaughter.
