LETTER IV.
To the Editor of the North American.
SIR, HAVING established, that a continuation of Federal principles in our general government, would have raised us to the first degree of national opulence, and that the democratic policy has been directly such as to invoke all the evils of our present political confusion, and the increasing miseries which must hereafter result from it, it now only remains to examine the cause of that unfortunate change from right to wrong.
It seems to be the melancholy fate of all nations, that their political matters cannot always be supported by reason and justice. The powerful effects of prejudice, interest and ambition in individuals, frequently bear away every just principle, delude the great body of the people, and sometimes make them become their own destroyers.
The effects of this complicated force, made an early attack upon the first measures of government. Men of grovelling ambition, disappointed in being the first choice of the people, others of uniform discontentment under any restraint, and still others willing to sacrifice every finer principle, to satisfy an avaricious thirst for power, constituted a force against those worthy patriots, whom the nation had rewarded with their confidence, by a promotion to public functions. In prosecuting a work void of principle, it is unnecessary to observe, that all measures, whether right or wrong, good or evil, were equally doomed to the same condemnation, by those office-hunting persecutors. Falsehood and slander, deception and misrepresentation, were distributed through every quarter of the union; and many of our fellow citizens, unmindful of these secret springs of destruction, were gradually led away into the most unfortunate belief of every unfounded charge against the government and the constituted authorities.
As this party became more formidable, by the acquisition of men seduced to false impressions, and a new stock of grovelling ambition, its secret promoters, in which class I hesitate not to place the immaculate philosopher, and our famous general, were encouraged to greater boldness. They pushed forward their dog-like emissaries, with ravenous cruelty, to complete the chase already begun upon those worthy patriots, who had been the first and best choice of American wisdom. Public printers, and political preachers, were hired to traduce and defame, without distinction. It is in vain to contend, that the true interest of our country formed any part of these views. There never was a diabolical junto but proclaimed truth for their guide, and liberty for their watch-word. But truth was not their object. To deceive and delude, could only answer their purposes. And here let the true American read; and read too, if he can, without a blood-boiling indignation, their language in relation to our illustrious WASHINGTON. It appeared in the AURORA on the day which closed the political career of that venerable father of our liberty, and must only be considered as the last paragraph in a large volume of persecution and slander.
FROM THE AURORA.
"Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, for mine eyes have seen thy salvation," was the pious ejaculation of a man who beheld a flood of happiness rushing in upon mankind if ever there was a time that would license the reiteration of the exclamation, THAT TIME IS NOW ARRIVED; for THE MAN WHO IS THE SOURCE OF ALL THE MISFORTUNES OF OUR COUNTRY, is this day reduced to a level with his fellow citizens, and is no longer possessed of power to MULTIPLY EVILS upon the United States. If ever there was a period for rejoicing, this is the moment. Every heart in unison with the freedom and happiness of the people, ought to BEAT HIGH with EXULTATION, that the NAME OF WASHINGTON from this day ceases to give currency to political iniquity, and to LEGALIZE CORRUP-

sion! A new era is now opening upon us, an era that promises much to the people; for public measures now stand upon their own merits, and nefarious projects can no longer be supported by a name. When a retrospect is taken of the Washington administration, for eight years, it is a subject of the greatest astonishment, that a single individual could have CANKERED THE PRINCIPLES OF REPUBLICANISM in an enlightened people, and should have carried his designs against the public liberty, so far, as to have put in jeopardy its very existence; such, however, are the facts, and with these staring us in the face, THIS DAY ought to be a JUBILEE in the United States."
In this infamous paragraph, we have a slight specimen of that kind of truth, which upset the principles of our government, and raised the present men to power. In the extent of their abuse, there seems to have been no limitation. It was not Washington, that brought only some evils upon our country; but he was the author of the whole. It was not some of his measures only, which had a tendency to jeopardize republican principles; but it was the design of his proceedings during the whole of his administration for eight years—from which it is evident, that the same persecution and slander was carried on for an equal duration of time; and that this being the day of final victory over him, it was matter of exultation; a day of jubilee for the democratic labourers.
In the work of detraction, there are a thousand grades. It generally commences by slight insinuations, and gradually progressing to false declamation, it ultimately arrives to the highest pitch. But it must be the last stage of human depravity, encouraged by the support of hidden prompters, of still more diabolical principles, that could venture to publish, in the face of the world, a lie of that magnitude, of which I have now given evidence.
Although it may be admitted that the Aurora has always been the most conspicuous vehicle for democratic principles, and has pushed its falsehood rather farther than many others; yet it did not by any means stand alone.—The press of Callender was another conspicuous organ of abuse; besides many others of less notoriety, and the host of retailers throughout the nation; all of whom played their part according to their abilities. A work entitled "The Prospect Before Us," published by Callender, was issued expressly on the occasion. In this infamous production the character of Washington has no quarters; and Adams is pronounced, without proof or equivocation, to be a hoary-headed incendiary .
Now let it be remembered, that these infamous writers have fully gained the ascendancy, and triumphed over the wisdom of our country; and that their secret promoters and hidden prompters, of still worse principles, are also the very men who now occupy every station under our government. Can it then be supposed that the change was effected by the radiance of truth? Or that our country can now prosper from a mass of corruption? No! Rather let us return to our true interest, and acknowledge the fact; that as the want of principle added to mercenary views, regulated their proceedings to acquire power, so it has also regulated their proceedings in the exercise of it; and no doubt but it will continue to regulate their proceedings in order to retain it. To delude the ignorant and to retain popularity is their only object.—For what can discover more hypocrisy, than a man, who but a few years ago, did every thing in his power, to bring the gray hairs of Washington to the grave in sorrow, but now, in order to cover his own measures and to raise his popularity, can weep over his tomb, and drink "the memory of Washington" on all occasions? Yet such a man is the President of the United States, and perhaps every leading democrat of our country.
Will it ever be denied, that the democratic prints were encouraged by the democrats of the time? Or that, Mr. Jefferson particularly was the warm friend of Callender and the Aurora?—These things cannot be denied. Then, the supporters of those prints must have been the supporters of the abuse of Washington; and as a secret enemy is more detestable than an open one, Washington well knew the value of their principles, as we shall presently discover from his own language.
A proof of Mr. Jefferson's friendship for the works of Callender, is found on the records of the United States Court at Richmond. A fine of 200 dollars due
to the United States, was remitted in his favour; but this not being considered a full remuneration for his valuable services in listing Mr. Jefferson to office, a dispute took place between them; after which Callender openly acknowledged, that he had received money from Mr. Jefferson at different times, as an encouragement to continue "The B—fore Us," and published a letter which enclosed it. He declared his determination to open the whole plan of intrigue which carried Mr. Jefferson to power; but was taken off by an untimely death, before he had made much progress.
But to prove, Sir, that I do not stand alone in my opinion of the democratic party, I will now give you the opinion of our GREAT NATIONAL PARENT, in his own language. It is an extract of a letter from General Washington to the honorable Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, whose name may be found affixed to the Declaration of Independence.
"Although (says General Washington) I highly approve of the measures taken by government, to place this country in a posture of defence, and even wish they had been more energetic, and shall be ready to obey its call, under the reservations I have made, whenever it is made; yet I am not without hope, MAD and INTOXICATED AS THE FRENCH ARE, that they will pause, before they take the last step. That they have been deceived in their calculations on the division of the people and the powerful support they expected from their party is reduced to a certainty, though it is somewhat equivocal still, whether THAT PARTY, who have been, THE CURSE OF THIS COUNTRY, and the SOURCE OF THE EXPENSES we have to encounter, may not be able to continue THEIR DELUSION. What pity it is the expense could not be taxed upon them."
It is universally admitted, that Washington possessed the power to penetrate farther into the effect of human occurrences than other men; and in this extract we have a striking evidence of the fact. He pronounced the democratic party to be the encouragers of impositions from France; and the event has proved so. He pronounced them to be the curse of our country, and the source of all our expenses, or in other words, our calamities; and the event has fully proved so. He also seems to have expected that they would be able to continue their delusion, and thereby extend the evils of our country; and this too is proved to be a lamentable fact. Our experience can speak for this.
Before I take leave of this subject, permit me to offer you further extracts from another of General Washington's letters, which I have now before me in his own hand writing, and will be handed to you with this communication. It is dated Mount Vernon, 18th October, 1798; and will show his opinion of the views of the rulers of France towards this country; which subsequent events have proved to be all along the same; and a further illustration of his opinion of the detestable principles upon which the leaders of the democratic party have acted.
The Extract of his Letter. "—My opinion always has been, (however necessary to be in a state of preparation) that no formidable invasion is to be apprehended from France, while Great-Britain and that country are at war—not from any favourable disposition the latter has towards us, but from actual inability to transport troops and the munitions of war, while their ports are blockaded. That they would willingly and perhaps necessarily employ their troops in such an enterprise, in case of peace, I have little doubt; unless adverse fortune in their foreign relations; a revolution at home; or a wonderful change in sentiment in the governing powers of their country should take place.
"If any thing in the conduct of their agents could excite astonishment, it would be Talleyrand's effrontery—duplicity—and supposed diplomatic skill, in his management of matters with Mr. Gerry; but as his object, to those who are not determined to be blind, may be read as they run, it is unnecessary to comment upon it:—I have read Col. Pickering's letter to P. Johnston on the subject of the Prince Edward address to the President; and with pleasure [a democratic address from Prince Edward county to President Adams]. It ought to flash conviction of the impropriety of that address, on all minds that are open to it; but it is not easier to change the principles of the leaders of such measures, than it would be to wash a blackamoore white. Truth and infor-
mation is not their object. To blind and irritate the people against the government (to effect a change in it) is their sole aim. With much truth and sincere regard,
I am, &c. GEO: WASHINGTON.
Now, Sir, this valuable extract for "those who are not determined to be blind" requires no comment; but in evidence of my respect for the opinions of that venerable patriot, which are now valuable to us because they explain the manner in which we have been seduced into our present degraded condition, I cannot forbear some remarks upon his uncommon foresight. After commending a state of preparation for defence, the next idea to be drawn from this extract is simply this: That the United States, as well as all other countries, might expect no invasion from France, while she was unable to effect it; but as soon as France possessed the ability, no reliance could be placed upon her supposed justice and friendship, "unless a wonderful change in sentiment in the governing powers of that country should take place;" which Washington seems not to have expected. It is a remarkable fact, that the disposition for conquest, then visible in the rulers of France, has continued increasing to this day; and that there is no country within the scope of her power, but has felt its unjust oppression, since the date of that letter. Some have been subdued by force of arms; others have been openly taxed, and ruled by her influence, and still others, who have been made secretly to contribute to the unjust demands of France. In this latter class, I am sorry to place my own country; our contributions have been in cash and commerce.
This letter further informs us, that there are some persons amongst us, who are determined to be blind to the conduct of France; but if any thing could open their eyes (which Washington seems not to have expected) it should be the conduct of their agents, and particularly Talleyrand's effrontery, duplicity, and supposed diplomatic skill.—Here also the ideas of Washington are fully verified. The same darkness has continued with them.—Their eyes are not opened.
And finally we may draw this solemn conclusion from the last paragraph—That Washington himself despaired of making any impression on the minds of the democratic party—they were not to be changed by truth. "To Blind and irritate the people against the government (to effect a change in it) was their sole aim." The true interest of our country formed no part of their views; and since their arrival to power, all these things have been more fully confirmed. The darkness of all their measures, and their shuffling to maintain popularity, are the most conspicuous matters relating to them.
If Washington despaired of convincing the rulers of that party of the impropriety of their conduct, there is little hope for others. I have no hope to this effect. But, however pure may have been the intentions of many individuals of that party, I hesitate not to pronounce from experience, that which Washington pronounced before me; that their measures have been the curse of our country, and the source of all our miseries; and until there is a total change in men or measures, we cannot expect our former prosperity. A removal of the embargo will avail us little. There are still other and greater difficulties. We cannot expect redress out of those measures, which sold by slow degrees our national independence; but must return to the principles which made us a nation; which bought our liberty, before we can expect relief. This, however, is not now to be expected. It is not to be done by reason. We have suffered, and we must still suffer, before a change can be expected; if ever that change arrives before our final destruction. I must, therefore, be reconciled to a condition from which nothing but the dear school of experience can relieve us.
VALIUS. [To be continued.]
REVOLUTION IN SPAIN!
NEW-YORK, July 22. We have received, by the Aurora, arrived last night from Trinidad, the "Trinidad Current" of the 26th June, containing the OFFICIAL DETAILS , from the Madrid Gazette, of the surprising events which have recently taken place in Spain: The old King of Spain formally renounces his right to the throne in the following manner: "I have ceded to my ally and dear
friend, the Emperor of the French, ALL MY RIGHT TO SPAIN & THE INDIES , having stipulated that the crown of Spain and the Indies shall continue independent and entire, such as it has been under my dominion; and likewise that our holy religion is to be not only the established religion, but the only one professed throughout the territories of this monarchy." &c. &c.
The Prince of Asturias and their Highness Don Carlos and Don Antonio, have also renounced their right to the throne of Spain.
Extract of a letter from a gentleman of the first respectability in Trinidad, to his friend in this city, dated June 27, 1808.
"Two revolutions have taken place in Spain since 15th March—One produced the abdication of the old king in favour of the Prince of Asturias—the other the resignation of the Prince in favor of his father; and as they could not agree among themselves, they went to Bayonne to submit their differences to the decision of Bonaparte, who has laid violent hands on the whole party, including the Prince of Peace and several of the grandees, and keeps them all prisoners. He has made the king appoint Murat Lieutenant general of the kingdom. Murat they say is in Madrid with 54,000 men, but I don't believe he has more than 30,000. The provinces have revolted against his authority, and against the authority of Charles, proclaimed Ferdinand VII. the lawful king, and called all faithful Spaniards to take up arms in defence of their religion and country. The supreme council of government is at Seville, and in Andalusia alone 150,000 men are in arms. It would appear that they rise en masse, and massacre all who do not wear the red cockade, which the council have ordered that every man shall wear. We are, before now I suppose, in possession of Cadiz and the Spanish navy, which the council have agreed to deliver up in trust to admiral Purvis and general Spencer, whose expedition it now appears, was sent out to favor the king's emigration to Mexico. Six French ships of the line are also in the inner harbour, but they are completely in jeopardy. Not a man dare go ashore, and Purvis is in the rear with 14 ships. The populace of Cadiz tore old Solano the governor to pieces, from a suspicion that he was in the French interest. The French merchants are all on board the French ships, and the only means of saving their lives is to surrender to Purvis; for, if they landed they would be hunted down like wild beasts by the people."
Another letter mentions, that about 10,000 Frenchmen had already fallen victims to the rage of the populace in Spain.
From the Madrid Gazette Extraordinary. ROYAL ADDRESS.
"Spaniards and beloved subjects."—Perfidious men are endeavoring to bring ruin upon you, and would fain supply you with arms, that you might turn them against the French troops, anxious reciprocally to stir you up against them, and them against you. What would be the result of such sinister intentions? No other without doubt, than the devastation of Spain, and calamities of every description. The factious minds, from which I had so much to bear, are as yet in agitation; and under circumstances equally important and critical, I am concerting measures with my ally, the emperor of the French, concerning whatever is connected with your happiness. But be sure not to listen to his enemies; they who exasperate you against France thirst for your blood, and are either the enemies of our nation or the agents of England. If you hearken to them, you will occasion the loss of your colonies the division of your provinces, and a long series of disturbances and evils to your country.
"Spaniards, trust my experience, and submit to the authority which I hold from the Almighty and from my ancestors. Follow my example, and believe that the friendship of the emperor of the French, our ally, can alone save Spain, and make her happy.—Bayonne, in the imperial palace of government, May 4, 1808.
I, THE KING:
Letter enclosing the royal decree to his imperial and royal highness (Murat.) Brother—My absence and infirmities not allowing me wholly to dedicate myself to the unremitted exertions required for the government of my states, the tranquility of my kingdom, and the preservation of my crown, it has struck me, that I could do nothing better than to appoint a Locum tenens , who invested with the supreme authority, which I hold from

God and my ancestors, should govern and rule for me and in my name, over all the provinces of Spain.
In consequence whereof, and having previously consulted the welfare of my people, and my wish to rescue the monarchy from the precipice into which the malevolent, and the enemies of the peace of the continent, were on the eve of plunging her, duly appreciating, on the other hand, the eminent virtues of which your imperial and royal highness has given us so many proofs, and the great services you have done us; I have resolved, with the consent and approbation of my faithful and greatly ally the emperor and king, upon appointing your imperial and royal highness my Lieutenant-General ; by the decree which I have just issued to the board of government, and which is here annexed, entreating you prince, to transmit it to them, and to accept of this appointment, which will restore peace to my mind. And so I pray God may keep you, brother, under his holy and worthy protection. Bayonne, May 4, 1808.
(Signed) CHARLES.
Appointment of the Grand Duke of Berg to the high dignity of Lieutenant-General of the kingdom.
TO THE EMERAL BOARD OF GOVERNMENT. Having deemed it proper to give the same direction to all the forces of my kingdom, with a view to the security of the property of individuals, and to the maintenance of public tranquility against both internal and external foes, I have thought it my duty, in order to attain that object, to appoint lieutenant-general of the kingdom, our beloved brother the grand duke of Berg, who, at the same time, commands the troops of our ally the emperor of the French.
And therefore we command our supreme council of Castile, and the councils, the chanceries, audiences and justices of the kingdom, the captains general and governors of our provinces and places, to bear him obedience, execute and enforce the execution of his orders and dispositions, such being our will, as likewise that, as lieutenant general of the kingdom, he shall preside over the board of government. Let it be so understood for the due fulfilment of my present supreme determination.
Bayonne, imperial palace of government, May 4, 1808.

LATEST FROM EUROPE.
The ship Thalia , captain Silliman, arrived at this port yesterday from Falmouth, from whence she sailed on the 8th of June.
Capt. S. informs that a few days before he sailed about 10,000 of the inhabitants of Yorkshire, principally weavers, had assembled in a tumultuous manner on account of the high price of Provisions, and to demand an increase of wages. The troops in the town were employed to quell the riot, and the people at length dispersed, but not until several of them had been killed by the military. It was said, also, that 50,000 looms in Manchester and its neighborhood were without employment.
A small vessel arrived at Falmouth about the 8th of June from Bilbao, having on board three Spanish deputies who had come to solicit assistance in arms and clothing from the British government, in consequence of the revolution. They reported that every Frenchman found in the province of Biscay had been massacred.
It is said Admiral Berkeley had been appointed to the command of the channel fleet.
Capt. S. is the bearer of dispatches from Mr. Pinckney to the Secretary of State.

From the Norfolk Ledger of July 27.
REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. This Intelligence which has reached us by a variety of uncertain and unofficial channels, is now confirmed. This morning an officer came up to town from his Britannic majesty's brig Emulous , commanded by lieutenant Stupar, in 17
days from Barbados, having dispatches from the British admiral at that island, for Mr. Erskine, the British minister near this government. Subjoined, our readers will find some notes on the present state of Spain, which will enable them to form a tolerable idea of the state of that country, with some other interesting matters.
We learn from letters (which we have not room to insert) that this revolution has been produced by a variety of circumstances. The Spaniards were persuaded that Buonaparte intended to place a king of his own family on the throne of Spain. He had got into his possession at Bayonne the old king and his son Ferdinand the new king—Buonaparte then dethroned Ferdinand and restored his father, who immediately surrendered his crown to Buonaparte. This information having reached Spain, the provinces formed themselves into a kind of provisional government, which is termed the Junto of each province, that of Seville has taken the lead. Nothing can exceed the enthusiasm and unanimity of the Spaniards. The French were attacked in all parts of Spain, without the means of communicating with each other. At the head of the present government is Don Pedro, the uncle of Ferdinand, by whom he was left Regent, when that ill-advised prince set out for Bayonne. He was the first to resist Murat, who it was said was prisoner at Madrid. Among the first objects of the provisional government of Spain, a good understanding with the British commanders was deemed essential—this was soon effected, and assurance of co-operation, when required, were instantly given. The French fleet consisting of 5 sail of the line and 2 frigates at Cadiz, were summoned to surrender to the new government, but refused; in consequence of which they were bombarded four hours, when they surrendered.
All hostilities between England and Spain had ceased and commissioners for the conclusion of peace, and other objects, had sailed from Cadiz for London.
Many other particulars, of which we had taken notes are omitted in order that we might hasten to lay this important intelligence before our readers.
The state of affairs in Portugal will be found detailed in the following extract of a letter which has been obligingly communicated to us.
"Oporto is in possession of the people of Portugal, after making prisoners of the French troops. The Port is open to the British and Spaniards."
"General Junot and the French garrison at Lisbon are almost in a state of siege—all the French force now remaining in Portugal is 9,000 men, of which 6,000 are in the capital."
"The Spanish troops that had been sent to act in conjunction with the French garrison had been disarmed by general Junot, consisting of about 6,000 men, which was done by the treachery of their own commanders, and by being placed in a situation where resistance was impossible."
"An inspection of the Spanish troops had been ordered in the great square of Lisbon. The French army were silently got under arms, and posted with numerous field artillery in every avenue leading to the square, and in this situation they were ordered to lay down their arms—resistance was ineffectual, and the order was executed. Several of the officers made their escape either to Spain or to the British fleet off the Tagus. It is expected that general Junot will surrender to the fleet, consequently the fall of the Russian squadron is certain."
Extract of a letter from Admiral Cochrane to his Britannic Majesty's Consul at this place.
"I have forwarded a copy of this intelligence to the Captain General of the Carracs, and have stopped all hostile proceedings against the Spanish provinces and colonies."
The officer who came up to town informed us that the Acasto frigate went with the dispatches of admiral Cochrane, and took with her all the Spanish prisoners that were at Barbados.
CADIZ, June 19.
Extract of information from Spain. Note 1.—Every day circumstances took place to confirm the friendly disposition of the Spanish people as well as the provisional governments towards Great Britain. At Algeziras about the 15th June, a valuable British merchant ship, taken by a French privateer, was sent with a prize crew into Algeziras, but no sooner did she arrive in that port, than the Frenchmen were drove out of her, the British sailors were released, the ship returned to them and sent to
Gibraltar—indeed, every hostility between Great Britain and the Spanish nation had ceased, and was succeeded by the most friendly intercourse.
The Spanish fleet of six sail of the line in Minorca, had made arrangement with Lord Collingwood to remain there until they should receive orders from the Junta of Seville.
Note 2.—On the advance of General Dupont with a detachment of the French army near Madrid towards Cadiz, to support the cause of Buonaparte there, suspicion arose amongst the people of Cadiz that the captain general of Andalusia the marquis de Solano, and also governor of Cadiz, was in the interest of Buonaparte; the correspondence between him and the duke of Berg was finally intercepted; the people of Cadiz surrounded his house, and having got the marquis into their hands, tore him to pieces, his house was levelled to the ground, and completely destroyed. In Cadiz a provisional junta was immediately formed, dependent on the junta of Seville, and Don Thomas Morla was entrusted with the government of Cadiz in the room of Solano.
At Barcelona Don Pedro Truxillo was at the same time destroyed by the people of Barcelona, for aiding the French general in that place, and the people discovering that he was in correspondence with the duke of Berg.
Note 3.—When the royal family of Spain went to Bayonne, they were escorted by a regiment of Carabineers, consisting of 800 men, that had done duty as the royal guards—On the fate of the royal family of Spain being made public, some disturbance was apprehended by Buonaparte amongst the Spanish nobility and soldiery. The commanding officer of the Spanish regiment of Carabineers was ordered to parade his men the same evening for the purpose of their being disarmed. This order he evaded, under a promise of executing it on the following morning; however, on assembling his men on their usual parade, all mounted, he informed them of the orders he had received, told them if they would follow him he would lead them into Spain; they at once agreed to the proposal, and following their commander took the road for their own country, and notwithstanding every attempt to overtake them, they made good their retreat.
Note 4.—Certain accounts had arrived at Cadiz of the death of the duke de L'Infantado at Bayonne—In some discussion with Buonaparte, relative to the fate of the royal family of Spain, the prince it is said remonstrated in the severest manner against the conduct of Buonaparte; and at last either drew his sword, or on the attempting to draw it, was cut down by Buonaparte's guard in his presence. The French say that before he was destroyed, Buonaparte received a wound in the arm.
The intention of Buonaparte was to place his brother Joseph on the throne of Spain, and the duke of Berg on that of Naples; there was no doubt that Joseph Buonaparte had left Spain; and it was currently reported, tho' not officially confirmed, on the 19th of June, that on his way to Madrid he, and all his attendants were destroyed by the armed peasantry of the country through which he attempted to pass.
Note 5.—The intelligence that reached London from the Baltic in the beginning of June informed, that the Spanish troops sent by Buonaparte to the North of Europe were at Lubeck and Altona, the greater part at Lubeck about 25,000 men; it was then intended by the British government, if these troops wished to return to Spain, to afford them means of transport. The British transports in the Baltic that were employed to carry the army to Sweden, would greatly facilitate this measure. At Cadiz it was understood that General Apodaco, and the commissioners sent to London by the Junta of Seville, had in charge to request the aid of the British government to the return of these troops to Spain.
Note 6.—By the latest intelligence that had reached Cadiz on the 19th of June from Portugal, general Gomez was on his march with an army of 30,000 men to attack the French general Junot in Lisbon; this army was composed partly of Spaniards and part of Portuguese. The Portuguese required the assistance of the British forces under general Spencer, then at Aymonty, and the fleet off the Tagus. It was understood that on the surrender of general Dupont with the French army at Cordova, that general Spencer would move towards Lisbon for that purpose. The troops remained on the 19th of June on board the transports.
Note 7.—To secure Cadiz for the interest of Buonaparte, general Dupont was detached from Cadiz with 12,000 men; but he had only reached Cordova, when he found that the French fleet in Cadiz harbour, consisting of five ships of the line and two frigates had surrendered, and the officers and crews made prisoners of war, to the Spanish Junta at Cadiz; to return to Madrid was impossible, the armed peasantry had already seized the passes in the mountains through which the road went; and a large force lay between him and Cadiz—In fact the French army found themselves in a state of siege.—On the 19th of June a courier arrived at Cadiz to inform the Junta, that general Cordova who commanded the Spanish army near Cordova had been joined by 9,000 troops of the line from Algeziras, which made his force amount to 20,000 troops of the line, independent of the volunteers and peasantry armed with pikes. The French army by deaths and desertion was reduced to 9,700 men.—On the 19th of June a courier arrived early in the morning informing that the two armies were engaged; and on the afternoon of the same day a second courier arrived to inform the Junta of Cadiz, that General Dupont and his whole force had surrendered prisoners of war to General Cordova.
It was understood that the victorious army would immediately march towards Madrid to act in conjunction with the armies marching from Biscay, and other parts of Spain to besiege the French in Madrid.
To the honor of the Spanish nation it has been found, that since the declaration of hostilities against France, by the Provisional Government, in no instance has a Spaniard been induced to carry any letters from the French officers to the other parts; by this means every communication between the commanders of the French armies has been cut off.

PROPOSALS for printing by SUBSCRIPTION, The Armenian Skelton, By WILLIAM HUNTINGTON.
THE publisher has been induced to offer a new American edition of this work to the public from the scarceness of it, (it being almost out of print) and with the hope that its circulation will be a great public good, and have a tendency to point out to searchers after righteousness the true path in which it may be found. He trusts that it will richly repay those for its perusal who are in search after Divine truths; all who wish to see the glorious Gospel promoted and spread through our land, he doubts not, will feel a disposition to encourage this scarce and valuable work.
The publisher is not actuated by interested views in offering this work to the public; his sole object is the dissemination of truths necessary for every human creature to be acquainted with; he only wishes to obtain as many subscribers as will pay for the printing, his own situation being such as to put it out of his power to have it republished without the aid of others.
The work will probably make from 250 to 300 duodecimo pages; it shall be well printed on good paper, and the price, half bound, shall not exceed one dollar; those who wish them bound in leather can have them at the additional expense of binding; if the number of subscribers should be equal to his expectation, the price in all probability will be less.
The work will be put to press so soon as a sufficient number of subscribers are obtained to pay for the printing.
Subscriptions received at the office of the Intelligencer. JOHN HUTCHINSON. June 3, 1808.
BATH.
THE subscribers, appointed at the last session of the General Assembly, Trustees for the town of Bath, Berkeley County Virginia, are informed that a number of persons who have been advised to use the waters of this place, are deterred from visiting it, from an apprehension of its unhealthiness. They deem it their duty to state to the public, that the mill-pond, to which the former sickness of persons at Bath is almost exclusively to be ascribed, has been long since entirely dry, in consequence of the dam having been taken down, and that the inhabitants of the town have enjoyed their usual health for more than a year past, and of course, during the summer and fall of the last year. We are entirely satisfied that these Springs may be resorted to as formerly without any risque to the health of visitors, from the cause above mentioned.
The Commissioners have had the Baths repaired, and are taking measures for cleansing the streets, cellars, &c.—They intend, as far as the powers given them by law will permit, to fit the place for the comfortable accommodation of those to whom the use of the waters may be necessary.
