Tavern Lease for Sale.
THE subscriber being about to remove to the Indian Queen Tavern, in Baltimore, offers for sale, on advantageous terms, the lease of the House he now occupies, having eight years, from the first of December next, to run; which for convenience, it is believed, is excelled by none in the United States, and from the proximity to the seat of government, and the direct communication which will be opened between the city and Alexandria by the bridge across the Potomac and the Turnpike Road, bids fair to become one of the best stands for business in the country, as the distance to the Capitol over the bridge will be only about 7 miles. With the Lease will be sold, if wanted, the whole of the FURNITURE, as it now stands, together with a large stock of WINES & LIQUORS, There is a vacant Lot on the corner of Cameron and Pitt-streets, adjoining the stables, attached to the House, (which renders it particularly commodious, as by that means the property fronts on three streets) which will be sold in fee simple, or leased for the remainder of the time.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, in the centre of the square between King and Cameron streets, and fronting on Washington and Columbus streets, 107 feet, with a public alley on one side, and an open space that cannot be built on. on the other. For a public situation it is unequalled by any property in Alexandria.
ALSO, A LOT of GROUND, at the west end, about half a mile from town and fronting on the Little River Turnpike Road, 35 feet, running back 250 feet, more or less. There are improvements on the property adjoining it, on each side.
A handsome LOT of GROUND, on the George-Town road, about half a mile from town, in a very beautiful situation, containing two acres.
A handsome SQUARE of GROUND, on Washington and Columbus streets, within one quarter of a mile of town, well enclosed with a post and rail fence, containing some thing less than two acres.
A half acre LOT on the commons, about the same distance as the last mentioned.
ALSO, My interest in the lease of a FARM, containing between one and two hundred acres, adjoining the town of Alexandria, in a high state of cultivation, and enclosed with a new post and rail fence, (in one of the enclosures is the Alexandria Jockey Club Race Course) with a large crop of OATS and HAY, which will be sold in the stack or otherwise;—two waggons, four carts, eight ploughs, two double barrows, a large and elegant roller, all of the best construction, six good farm horses and every other article that can be wanted for a well managed farm, together with 12 choice milch COWS, a fine buffalo BULL, forty head of SHEEP, about fifty head of HOGS of the very best breed that could be procured. Also, some very VALUABLE SLAVES, if they should be wanted for the farm. ALSO, The two lines of STAGES between George Town and Alexandria, with a light HACK & four HORSES.

And on the third day will breakfast at the Half-Way house and dine at Petersburg. Returning, will dine at the Half-Way house and lodge at Richmond. Early in the morning, breakfast at the Oaks, dine at the Bowling Green, and lodge at Fredericksburg. Next morning, will breakfast at Stafford court house, dine at Occoquan, and lodge at Alexandria.
The owners on this line too, have to request that passengers will be as moderate as possible in the quantity of their baggage, as any thing more than a small trunk or parcel which will go within the body of the stage will be an extra charge.

A BULLY,
In the Intelligencer, who, no doubt, would upon occasion serve Mr. Smith, as a witness under a Federal disguise but who now calls himself FRANKLIN, bestows a great deal of foul epithet upon the Federalists. He has the unblushing hardihood to say, "The leaders of the opposition party have recently proclaimed sentiments, which amount to treason and rebellion against the laws and constituted authorities of the republic." He does not indeed prescribe any remedy for this, but we are to conclude from analogy, that the liberty of speech and of the press ought to be put under some wholesome Napoleon restraint.
Again, he says, "many of the opposition papers have for some time past been filled with inflammatory essays, calculated to excite local jealousies, and ultimately to prepare the public mind for a dissolution of the Union." If it is not enough to deny this imputation to be applicable to the federalists, we shall expressly prove it to have been a cool, settled, premeditated design of the heads of the ruling party, to dissolve the Union. We shall not give Wilkinson and Burr, as proofs to fix it upon the democratic party; though the former holds the important trust of commander in chief under Mr. Jefferson, and the latter has risen through all the stages of democratic dignity, to the penultima of rank. We shall take Mr. Giles for our example, a gentleman who has ever been a leading personage among them, and to whose talents and perseverance the breach first made in the federal power, is in a very considerable degree to be ascribed. Mr. Giles is a member of the Senate from Virginia, and gave Mr. Madison his suffrage and support in Bradleys caucus. Let me not, however, detain the reader too long from the proof, which I feel persuaded he will consider as coming fully up to the allegation, and otherwise unanswerable.
From the Virginia Gazette, of March 1799.
MR. DAVIS,
It was with reluctance that I appear in a newspaper. Observing in yours of the 8th instant, a publication of William B. Giles, Esq. in answer to one of Major Nelson's, of 24th January, I am compelled to publish the following facts, respecting a conversation which passed at my house, and which has been the cause of these publications:—After much had been said respecting the reports of the secretaries of treasury, war and navy, and condemned by Mr. Giles, as he acknowledged; Mr. Giles, rising to leave the company, said, without any reserve, I AM CLEARLY FOR A SEPARATION, AND HOPE IT WILL TAKE PLACE. A gentleman present, getting up to go away also, said, I am d—d glad, old fellow, to hear you say so; it has been my wish these three or four years past. Mr. Giles replied, it is a late opinion of mine, and I hope it will take place. A third gentleman in the company, whose opinions, generally, coincide with the before mentioned, declared that he differed from them; that he did not wish a separation. This gentleman had made the same declaration in the early part of the conversation, and mentioned having received a letter from a friend of his a member of congress, in answer to one he had written to him, and expressed a wish he had brought it with him to Richmond, wherein was the opinion on this subject, of a person who is held in the highest estimation, by those who have generally disapproved of the acts and measures of the legislative and executive of the federal government, wherein he says, he by no means approves of a separation; that it cannot be long before there will be a majority in Congress, who will think with him; that the increasing population of the Southern States must produce this effect.
I have been thus particular in stating the above conversation, supposing it may bring to the recollection of the gentlemen who were present, the precise words that passed on this occasion; I declare most solemnly, I believe what I here state, to be the very words made use of at the aforesaid time, and by the aforesaid persons—this. I am sure of, that it was the express meaning of what did pass; and I trust, those to whom I have the pleasure of being known will credit this assertion.

COPY OF A LETTER.
U. S. Brig Argus , North River, off New York, Aug. 7th, 1808.]
CEN. EATON,
SIR,
Be assured it is with sincere regret I in-
form you of the death of my friend Eli E. Danielson. The circumstances attending it are truly lamentable; and from the information that I have been able as yet to obtain, the dispute or difference originated from the most trivial cause; and the only satisfaction that I have is, that he preserved his unsullied and unblemished character to the last moment. I am informed that the friends of the parties (Mr. Boyd and Evans) have written you, and have no doubt given you a correct circumstantial account, I shall therefore defer it, as I perhaps, having had them related to me by others, may not agree with them; they however, with Schuyler, left this state last evening. At 5 P. M. yesterday I followed and interred his remains in the church yard at Brooklyn, attended by the principal part of the officers at this station; and feel confident in assuring you, that more sincere regret was never felt by any officers or men on a similar occasion, than by those who attended the funeral of my friend.
But, sir, it will be useless for me to take up your attention by delineating on this most unhappy affair; for you must be very sensible (from my long intimacy with my unfortunate friend) of my attachment to him. He was buried with as much decency as the nature of the case and shortness of the time would admit. His wardrobe, &c. he left with Mr. Boyd—he leaving this last night, and this being Sunday, prevents me from going to the navy yard, but shall proceed to-morrow to collect and place in the N. Store, or some other proper place, his effects until I may hear from you; and permit me to solicit you to write—and any services I can render to the memory of the deceased, or satisfaction to yourself and family will give me great pleasure—I have reserved for his mother and sister, some locks of his hair, which I shall retain in my possession until I hear from you.
I remain, &c.

Lieut. U. S. Brig Argus
ANSWER.
BRIMFIELD, August 14.
DEAR SIR,
The sympathy you manifest in the event which occurred on the 5th instant, so afflicting to myself and family receives our unaffected acknowledgements.
I wished Danielson might have lived to the usefulness of which he was capable.—But who can parry the arrow of death! The when and the where we receive the shock is of less consequence than the how. I have always flattered myself that your friend could not die unlike a brave man; but it pains me that the ground of his fall had not been marked with more usefulness to his country—Brave, great, and experienced men may sometimes find it necessary to their reputation that they meet in personal contest; this may be justified where the fate of a nation is depending; such occurrences are rare; but the trivial disputes which excite ardent young men to put life up at a game of hazard cannot be reconciled to principles of morality, patriotism, or character. Danielson wanted no tests of his bravery; young as he was, experience had tested this. I lament more the absence of his prudence than I should the loss we feel had he fallen in the legitimate field of glory—The manner of Hamilton's death added nothing to the lustre of his fame; and the circumstances of Burr's killing him gave no man the more confidence in Burr's honesty nor patriotism; the catastrophe satisfied no one on the merits of the cause which produced it. Individuals may slaughter each other honorably by the laws of chivalry—all that society can pronounce on this exhibition of courage is— Alas! The absence of commodore Rodgers at that eventful moment is much to be lamented: His presence would have overawed the extremity which has bro't affliction to the concerned for the deceased, and a loss to the service of our country. I most devoutly hope that this unhappy incident may prove a caution to the young gentlemen of your profession, against sudden sallies of passion.
Any thing in detail which you can state concerning the melancholy death of my son and friend, will confer on me a peculiar obligation. I have received no communications from Mr. Boyd nor Evans on the subject.
I am, sir, &c.

GUNBOAT TYRANNY. —We have read the following statement of facts with no ordinary emotions. The oppressive system, by which the citizens of America are now governed must be speedily arrested, or the rights and liberties of the people will be lost forever.
MR. LEWIS,
Let those who read (as I trust they will with abhorrence and detestation) the following statement of a few of the most wanton acts of cruelty inflicted by a petty stippling in command who "feels power and forgets right," upon one of our own citizens in the peaceable pursuit of his lawful business within a few miles of his own door, now answer the plain question, whether they are
yet satisfied with the embargo and gun-boat policy of our administration. I am informed that divers other acts of wanton abuse as well as cruelty also ensued, which are not detailed in captain Petty's protest, as irrelevant to his purposes. For myself I want language to express my regret that such acts of oppression can with impunity be practised upon our fellow-citizens, without a speedy and adequate resistance. I trust, however, that in this instance, but one voice will be heard, and one general wish be expressed, that the culprits will without delay, be removed from office, and that the abused captain Petty will speedily be remunerated with ample damages by the verdict of a jury of his country, to which I think he may safely appeal.
A CITIZEN.
By this public instrument and declaration of protest be it known and made manifest to all whom it doth or may concern. That on this second day of September in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred & eight, before me, George W. Strong, a public notary in and for the state of New York, duly commissioned and sworn, residing in the city of New York, personally came and appeared David Petty, master and commander of the schooner Speedy , of Brookhaven, who being by me duly sworn upon the Holy Evangelists did depose, protest and say, that on the 19th day of August last past, he was sailing in the said schooner on the south side of Long Island, bound from N. York to Moriches, in Brookhaven, and when opposite Gilgo Gut he was fired at and brought too by gun-boat No. 40, commanded by James Renshaw, who sent a barge on board the deponent's schooner, and after examining her, permitted her to proceed on her voyage. That after she had proceeded about one mile to the windward he was again fired at and compelled to bear away and come under the lee of the gun-boat, when the commander demanded the deponent to come on board and pilot him into Fire island inlet, which the deponent consented to do for ten dollars; to which the commander replied that "he would be damned if he would give him ten cents," and added that if the deponent did not obey, his schooner should not be permitted to leave the gun boat. Whereupon the deponent persisting in his refusal, the said commander sent his barge on board the schooner, with orders to take by force the deponent or one of his men out of the schooner and bring him on board the gun-boat. That the deponent was thereby compelled without his consent, to leave his own vessel and go on board the gun boat, where he was kept and detained three days. That not being able to beat up to Fire inlet, they were obliged to go into Gilgo gut, with the navigation of which the deponent was totally unacquainted, and on his mentioning the circumstance to the commander, was told by him, "that if he the deponent run the gun-boat aground he should be shot." That having passed the gut in safety, and the gun-boat anchored in the bay, the deponent was on the following day, by the orders of the said commander, put in irons with handcuffs on his wrists and shackles on his legs , and kept in irons for one whole day and night, during which time he had very little refreshments and was treated with much abuse by the said commander. And the deponent did further protest and swear that he knows of no reason for such treatment from the said commander, except his wishes to detain the deponent on board until such time as he should see fit to go to sea, and require the deponent's aid in navigating the gun-boat out of the gut: that on Sunday, the twenty-first day of the aforesaid month of August, about noon, some persons were coming on board the said gun-boat while lying at anchor in the bay, and before they reached her, the said commander ordered the irons to be taken off the deponent: that in the afternoon of the same day the said commander, wishing to go on board of a brig that lay at no great distance on the beach, the deponent requested and obtained leave to go with him: that after visiting her, he was ordered by the commander to return on board the gun-boat, which the deponent refused to do—whereupon the commander presented a sharp pointed cane at the deponent's breast, and thrust the same at him several times, in order to compel him to go. He then ordered two of his men to seize the deponent, and to tie him on board the gun-boat. That they did seize and throw him down; whereupon a person belonging to the said brig interfered, and took up a large Maul with which he threatened to strike them unless they would release the deponent: that they then let up the deponent; after which the commander abused him with very insolent and profane language, threatening that he would cut him into mince meat and destroy his schooner. He then ordered one of his men to stand by the deponent with a loaded musket, and to shoot him
through in case he offered to stir, while the commander, could go on board the gun-boat and get a reinforcement of men, in order to compel the deponent to go on board, that shortly thereafter he went with his men on board the gun-boat, taking the said deponent with him, and while he was gone the deponent procured two men of his acquaintance from the said brig to carry him in a boat on board his own vessel, then lying at Fire island, about twelve miles to eastward, & so eluded the said commander.
Whereupon I the said notary, at the request of the said David Petty, did protest, and by these presents do publicly and solemnly protest against the unlawful detention of the said deponent by James Renshaw, and all damages, losses and injuries which thereupon ensued. In testimony whereof as well the said deponent as I the said notary have subscribed our respective names to these presents, and I have hereunto set my seal of office the day and year first above written.
(Signed) GEORGE W. STRONG, Notary Public. DAVID PETTY.
BY THIS DAY'S MAIL.
BOSTON, Sept. 5.
IMPORTANT. —A letter received on Saturday, by an arrival from Halifax, contains the following important postscript: "A vessel arrived at Pictou, on the 15th August, in 29 days from Glasgow, the captain of which informs Great Britain and Russia had made Peace! " The date of this news must be several days later than our present accounts from London, which gave some presages of such an event.
Summary of Spanish News, By the Arcturus.
LATEST FROM SPAIN.
On Saturday arrived the fast sailing ship Arcturus , captain Main, in 48 days from St. Sebastians. Among the passengers in this ship, came P. R. Livingston, esq. who is the bearer of several sets of dispatches from the French government to our own. Mr. Livingston reports, that a few days before he sailed, he was at Bayonne, where a private interview took place between the French emperor and himself; that on taking leave, he was entrusted by the emperor, with a verbal message to the president of the United States; but which he was not now at liberty to communicate. It is understood, however, that the French decrees against neutral commerce were not to be relaxed at present; of this we have ample evidence in the subjoined list of condemnations. No American vessels had been released under Murat's decree.
The general complexion of affairs in Spain, is said, by several of the passengers, to be highly flattering; that no doubts were entertained of the final success of the Spanish patriots; that the armies were filling up with great alacrity; that arms and ammunition were continually arriving, and the collected force when arranged and supplied with military stores, would far exceed any force or body of men, Bonaparte could bring against them; that at present the steps of the Spaniards, were precautionary, although in every instance, where they have been brought into action, they have succeeded in repelling or destroying their enemies. The following summary presents a number of instances of this valor and intrepidity. It was furnished by one of the passengers in the Arcturus , and may be relied on as containing facts:
All the provinces of Spain are in a state of revolution, and have actually declared war against France, except Guipusca, Biscay, Alava and Navarra—these being so near and immediately under the power of France, have not as yet taken up arms; but only wait for a favorable moment to join in the common cause—having the same sentiments as the other provinces respecting France. However many of the inhabitants have gone to Saragosa, and all the soldiers of two regiments, which garrisoned that town, with some of their officers have also deserted. This desertion was winked at by the Spanish commander. The French troops, under general Lefebvre, who made repeated attacks during 30 days on Saragosa, were always beaten with great loss. The Spaniards fought on those occasions with unheard of bravery; and feel confident of success in their just cause. The annexed letter of general Palafox, will shew the spirit which actuates the patriots of that brave people.
There is but little doubt but that general Dupont, with about 17,000 men, who passed the mountain of Sierra Morena, towards Seville and Cadiz, has been entirely defeated at Cordova and Andujar. General Morcey who went against Valencia has also been defeated.

In consequence of the disasters of the French, a rendezvous of 70,000 men had been ordered at Burgos, and 3 or 4000 men [French] had abandoned Santander, after being in possession of that town some weeks. The French continued in possession of Madrid, when the Arcturus sailed, as well as of Valladolid, Burgos, Victoria, Pamplona, and St. Sebastians; but a considerable army from Galicia and Andalusia, was said to be marching towards Madrid. The lieutenant king, prince Murat, had returned to Bayonne, and had left gen. Savary in his stead. The new created king, Joseph Bonaparte, with most of the Spanish grandees and the delegates with the new constitution, a copy of which has been received, had set out for Madrid; by the Arcturus, on the 9th July, where were at St. Sebastians on the 9th July, where their reception was as cool as it possibly could be. Not a shout or cry in favor of the new king. Nothing was done but what the authorities were obliged to do. It was doubtful whether he would reach Madrid, under such unfavorable aspects. Most of the Spanish grandees did not hesitate to declare to their friends, that what they had done was forced on them; that they should, on the first occasion, join the patriots with their persons and property.
Palafox the commander of the Spanish troops which took up arms against the French, is unmarried, about 32 years of age, youngest of three sons of a marquis of that name, a family distinguished in the annals of Spain; he was a brigadier in the king's body guard, and went with the young king Ferdinand the seventh to Bayonne, where foreseeing what was to pass, escaped to Saragossa in Arragon, his native town, and put himself at their head.
Although the citadel of Barcelona is in possession of the French; the province of Catalonia is mostly under arms, and have had several successful skirmishes.
There appears great mortality at Madrid among the French soldiers, as well as desertion to the Spanish side. The French officers have on various occasions expressed their dislike and regret to march against the Spaniards, in so unjust a cause. Almost all the French troops, now in Spain and Portugal, supposed 120,000 are young, and of the last conscriptions, and let the issue be what it may, many cannot in all calculation return, or escape from slaughter. All the French at Oporto have, with the general who is in the castle at Ferrol, surrendered to the Portuguese; but general Junot was at Lisbon at the last dates. All the proclamations of the provinces are warm & spirited, declaring that Spaniards war not against the French people, but against the Tyrant and Usurper.
Some days out from St. Sebastians, passed a convoy of 75 sail from Cork, with 10,000 troops on board, under gen. Wellesley—was boarded and informed they were bound to join the Spaniards and Portuguese against gen. Junot.
It appears from the latest accounts that the Spanish war is exceedingly unpopular in France; that the Spanish royal family had been sent into the interior of France; that the troops lately sent into Spain by Bonaparte's orders, were principally new and beardless conscripts; that Murat was still at Bayonne, and much indisposed; that the direct road from Bayonne to Madrid was in possession of the French; but was the only communication they had between the two countries.
MILAN DECREE ENFORCED. —We have received by the Arcturus, three of the first condemnations by the council of prizes at Paris, of American vessels and cargoes, taken under the Milan decree of the 17th Dec. The first on the 8th June, (the first sitting) is the brig George, of Newburyport, captain Bray, (late captain Hale) from Labrador, to Bilboa, with fish and some oil, papers endorsed by the British, and being far north, and in want of provisions and water, put into Falmouth for supply, where the British government, seeing the unjustness of the endorsement, granted a pass for the original destination, and from further detention by British ships. No duties were required or paid at Falmouth. A few miles from the entrance of Bilboa harbor, was taken by a French armed boat off Bayonne, and sent into St. Sebastians in Spain.
The second is the brig Vengeance, of Salem, captain Waru Chipman, owned by William Gray, esq. condemned on the 15th June (the second sitting) bound with a cargo of tobacco from Norfolk (from whence she sailed the 4th Dec.) for Bilboa, was endorsed on the 30th same month by the Iris frigate, captain Tower. On the same night escaped and bore away for Bilboa. On the 6th Jan. came to anchor at San Antonio; lost an anchor and run for Bilboa, and was taken by the same boat off said port of Bilboa, on the 7th, and sent into Passage in
Spain. The cargo was worth 180,000 dollars, at the time of condemnation. Her cargo consisting of about 180 hhds. tobacco, would have brought one dollar per pound.
[An official copy of the above condemnation has been received at this office, a translation of which will be given in our next.]
The third is the ship Mars, of N. York, Charles Henry, master, condemned on the 15th June, bound from Savannah, from whence she sailed the 4th Jan. for London, laden with rice and cotton. On the 4th Feb. about lat. 49 18, n. long. 11, w. was captured by a French privateer of Rochelle and sent to Passage in Spain. Capt. H. had not his papers endorsed, nor did he see or speak with any English or other vessel.
Captains Henry and Chipman are passengers in the Arcturus.
All the foregoing are facts and may be relied on.
It appears that after the date of the Milan decree, and perhaps at the time of Mr. Chamagny's letter to Mr. Armstrong, an order was given to the council of prizes, not to proceed on American cases; but soon after the arrival of the Osage, a counter order was given; and the three cited vessels were condemned with many others, at the first and second sittings, being every Thursday, weekly. Most of the valuable vessels and cargoes were condemned on those days.
It was rumoured that a suspension took place in the council of prizes; but two gentlemen passengers per the Arcturus, saw a letter from Paris, the day before their sailing, to a French gentleman at St. Sebastians, saying, that although it was supposed that the council would not condemn any more, yet since the 15th June, six more American vessels and cargoes had been condemned.
Among other remarkable cases, one is worthy to be noticed.—A Salem brig, the Hipsy and Jane, was endorsed off the Cordivan, on the 3d Dec. escaped the vigilance of the English, and run into Bayonne on the 5th, unloaded, and the capt went to Bordeaux to consult and sell his cargo. On the 25th same month, the government seized vessel and cargo, under the Milan Decree of the 17th December 12 days after the arrival of the vessel in port; and will no doubt condemn her—valued at 60,000 dollars.
PARIS, June 20, 1808.
CAPTAINS BRAY AND CHIPMAN, Gentlemen—It gives me much pain to inform you, in answer to your letters of the 6th instant, that on recurring to the proceedings of the Council of Prizes, I find your vessels and cargoes have both been condemned.—The one on the 8th and the other on the 15th instant. The reasons assigned for condemning the George, are, 'because having been stopped by a British cruiser, she was carried into Falmouth, from which place she sailed with a king's licence.' For condemning the Vengeance, 'because she has been visited by British cruisers.'
It is the duty of the agent of prize causes, to give you all necessary information on this subject. Permit me therefore to refer you to him. I am, gentlemen, your obedient humble servant,
Signed, JOHN ARMSTRONG

Extract from the Gazette Extraordinary of Saragossa, of the 20th June.
On the 17th a Spanish soldier, who had been a prisoner to the French, delivered a letter directed to the administrators of Saragossa, which had been given him by the French general Lefevre to be placed in the hands of his excellency Palafox. The same soldier brought with him seditious proclamations printed in Bayonne in the Spanish language which were delivered to him by the French general. The letter was sent without breaking seal, to his excellency, who has given the following answer, which was sent this day to the enemy's camp.
SARAGOSSA, at my Head Quarters, June 18th.
If his majesty the emperor, sends you general, to establish the tranquility of this country which it has never lost, the cares you take are very useless. If I ought to answer the confidence placed in me by the valiant people of Aragon, who drew me from my retirement to place their interests in my hands; I certainly should not fulfil my duty by abandoning them at the appearance of a friendship so deceitful. My sword guards the gates of its capital and my honor is answerable for its security. This labor should not be the lot of those troops, who are yet fatigued from their exertions on the 15th and 16th, they will be found, however, active in their ranks, I shall be so in my exertions.
The spirit of the Spanish nation roused by their numerous wrongs is far from being appeased, it continues to rise. The spies paid by your excellency are faithless: A great part of Catalonia has placed itself under my command; the same has been done by not a less part of Castile: The Captains General of this and of Valencia are united with me: Galicia, Estremadura, Asturias and the four kingdoms of Arragon are resolved to revenge their sufferings: The French troops commit atrocities unworthy of men; they rob, insult and mur-
der worthy people who have done them no wrong; they outrage religion burning the sacred images in an unheard of manner. Neither this, nor the tone your excellency adopts even after the days of the 15th and 16th, are proper to satisfy a valiant people. Your excellency may do what you please, I shall do what I ought.
Y. H. S. JOSE PALAJOS Y MELET, General of the troops of Arragon. PAMPALONA, June 29. ARRAGON.
The Gazette of the 20th, announces that the French army had lost 4000 men, killed, since its entrance into that kingdom, independent of wounded, prisoners and deserters. The Gazette of the 24th, assures that a detachment of 2000 men, who were marching towards Epila, and who indeed entered, were so completely destroyed that there only remained 400 who could flee. That of the 25th relates another famous action in Saragossa, whose result has been so favourable that we are assured that Gen. Lefevre, can have at the most only 2500 men, of the 12000 who marched for that place and Logrono. Indeed God protects our cause, since the Spaniards perform miracles never known in a people so undisciplined. A Courier from Gen. Lefevre has been intercepted, in which he declares to the emperor his want of men, but requests all the kingdoms might be declared already reduced to obedience. Notwithstanding this news, formidable trains of artillery continue to leave this city, destined for Arragon, as well as bombs, &c.
A letter of the 3d of July, states, that in Saragossa, on the 26th ult. a shell from the French camp fell into the square of St. Domingo, which so enraged the inhabitants they rushed to the field of battle, routed the enemy, pursuing them 7 leagues, and became masters of 27 pieces of cannon with all their baggage.
On the 28th, 29th and 30th, there was a violent cannonading, but the result is not known, a person however, who came yesterday from P. assures us that Gen. Lefevre, with the few men left him surrendered, and that the escort with provisions and ammunition, destined for his camp, had been taken by the Arragonians with 45 baggage waggons.
"Gazette Extraordinary,"
Saragossa, July 3.
The day before yesterday, the 1st, at midnight, the French camp in the neighborhood of this capital began the bombardment of the city, this was continued till the evening of the following day, in which they expended more than 1400 balls and shells. They attacked some of the gates, but the valor of the troops and inhabitants who guarded them, resisting a galling fire, destroyed all who presented themselves, strewing the field with French bodies. In the evening of the same day they continued the attack with their infantry and artillery, and were again repulsed with considerable loss. At day break yesterday they renewed their attack on all sides, and after suffering great loss, and convinced of the obstinacy and valor of our troops, they retired, having suffered from a continual fire of twelve hours. The shot and shells of the enemy have not only done little damage, but have served to excite a greater hatred to them, and impress us with the sacred duties of Religion and our Country, of our honor and our king. (Here follows a long list of promotions.)
A great many arms have fallen into our hands, and among the slain have been found some of the ornaments stolen from the churches and houses of individuals: We have made many prisoners.
In all parts the French army have been routed and intrigue and deceit are the only resource remaining to save them from the total extermination with which they are menaced in Spain.
By an express which left Valencia on the 30th of June, we receive officially the agreeable news that the French army commanded by General Moucey, having attacked that city on the 28th of the same month, were received by such a dreadful fire from the batteries, for the space of seven hours—that after having been routed, and their bodies covering the ground in the neighborhood, they precipitately abandoned the field, and in the utmost confusion, without provisions and without force, took the route to Madrid, in which the main body of the Valencian army is waiting to cut off their retreat, so that not one of those who remain can escape.
We have also received, by the Courier of to day, information, that the remains of the army of 16,000 men, who entered Andalusia under the command of General Dupont, has retreated to Andujar, and that it is reduced to only 6000: that on the 22d of June they were within the distance of two leagues from the first division of the vanguard of the Spanish army of that kingdom, commanded by General Campigni, and that the day following it would be joined by the second division under the command of General Castanos, for the purpose of attacking and entirely destroying Dupont.
