risen to such a pitch that the Govcrnutcot was

obliged to interfere, and the rne.isures adopted in

t. icial documents, relative to the Convention con-

English and Erenckurinies in Portugal, according
to which the letter are to evacuate that kisigdoin.--•
These official documents are introdneed by the tot.
loaingailiservations
" Amonling to the papers received from Lon-
don, there is reason to think, that, shortly after the
battle of Vimiera, a fresh expedition from Ltiglewl
biaded in Portugal j, and that the Duke of Alt-
motes, notwithstanding the advantage he had oh-
tained, did not think Min:tell* in a condition to pro-
vide fur the defence of the country, nisd to dispose
of the English. He, therefore, preferred entering
into u Contention, rather than to occupy his en-
treldiell camp, mid the forts of Li.bon, and in ex-
pose to destruction that fine city, with the good dis-
position of which lie still had reason to iw satisfied.
The Duke way also have been ;minced to balsa this
step, by the uncertainty he was in respeetiug the
factotums taken is Franceimul whether the period
a hew he might receive * tendon:einem was near at
hind. It occurred to him, that his best course was
to carry lyiek his corps of troops to France, to
fo, in the rear guard of the Grout' Army iii
COI some tun- after to return into Portugal itself,
which lie now evacuates. The facility with which
the English could supply, their sirmy with proii-
situ's, sod recruit them with fresh troops, is an ad-
ditional reason for thinking that the step take* by
the Lake of Ahrantes was that which prudence
must strongly dictated."

Our newspapers contain several extracts from an
English- journal, from which it appears that the
Convention concluded in Portugal has trot met
with the approval of the English nation. The
.leisrmal de 1' Empire of this day affirms, that the
people of London have burnt General Dalrymple
in effigy, who ratifieJ the Convection.
Since the retaking of thlhoe, Nothing of any
importance has occurred in Spans. Upon the ap-
proach of the French, General Blake precipitately
evacuated that city ; this lie was induced to do
more speedily, in consequence of learning that
whilst Marshal Ney was marching with his troops
against Whoa, by way of Durango, General Mou-
ton was advancing with his division to Ealmaseda,
to fall upon his rear. It is confidently expected
that our inlay in Spiiiii w all maintain its present po-

GE2VEII.IL KELLER3LIN.

[ITN .treuunt 4.f tl,c laic Affairs in Patina]

Geueral Kellerman set off to visit the Bri-
fedi camp, to propose terms of capitulation, lie
ssys, he was sarpnsed to find that he met with no
out-posts of the British army.. Whet► he approach-
ed towithio a oak of the head-quarter~, l►e stopped
nearly half au hour, and motioned with himself,
whether he should go back, or go forward. The
consideration that he had not yet met with an out-
post, or a single British, soldier, impressed his mind
"with a belief that Cm British arm►• lutist he in a
had state ; and he determined to to forward and
otFer terms. lie, however, says, that the out-posts
that were placed, were at a sailicieat dirtatt.•s to
prevent the British camp from being urprised.—
When he entered the Britisl► vamp, he proposal!
terms which he would neve, have• thought of, bat
for the circumstance of there beiug no out-posts ;
those which he did propose, he had no idea would
he granted: but to his surprise and gratification,
nothing tem refuwd hint that lo: reflecting mind
psompted him to ;lA.

‘Viieu he first eauborked on hooni the ,rl,friegi4e,
to return to France, he slid, that in leKs than *ix

weeks he expected to lie at t'adix ! But his *pi-
nion urn rwards altered, in consequence of some
acemiutS resetting his ears of the determined spirit
of the Spaniards. lie does not expect to meet
with a very favourable reception in Fraaee, not-
withstanding his character stands high no a breve
and good officer, and his fame at the battles of A us..
terlite Nlarettgro bee never been tarnished :but he
has been griihyof signing an instrument which has
some marks of justice and !warily aliost it—the
appointment of a committee of officers to re-laud
the French baggage, and examine it foe plunder.
This is a crime about which helius some fears ; for,
as one of the French officers told Geneenl Beres-
ford, if you waist to discos the plunder, Gene-
ral, begin with the Commander-in-Chief, aud go
down. to the Asljetant."—This honest hint was not
cliregartled, and the next day 27,0001. in money
was landed, pert of Junot's, dies Duke of Abraii-
tell' baggage ! General Kellerman was tbe only
French officer agaiust whom crimes of the most
sordid, avericioas, end diabolical kind, were 'no
represented to the Cominittee--there were two
or three instances against hint, but they were not
worthy of marked reprekensiou. Junot, Duke
of A I.:mutts, and Getterel I.oisson, were primed to
be the most ferocious, hard-hearted, thiei Mg ras-
cals, that ever were head of. If their crimes did
not come to us se irrefragabry autlumticisted, we
&multi be disposed, from considerations of the
rank of the perpetnitor„ and the enormity of them,
to think them wife/ended, or greatly exaggerated;
but we ere no longer sceptics to French barbarity,
and their 4e:unable thirst for plunder.—The most
valuable of the plunder was found in the officers'
baggage; the men, generally speaking, had little
that was worth much. Kellerman never speaks of
the battles of the 17th and 21st of August ; he is
fond of talking of the Convention, and takes
great credit to himself for the terms he ob-
tained. lie would exonerate Sir Hew Dalrym-
ple from all blame, as nothing, it imps:artsl to-him,
was done without the concurrence of Sir Arthur
Wellesky : but, he says. General Beresford, in the
effuir of examining for plunider, ehewed more
shrewdness, but less liberality, than either; and he
is happy in tint haviug had to uegociate the terms of
the Cuuseation 'with him.

There were upwards of two hundred sail of mer-
chantmen. principally Danes, at Lisboa and St.
Übe', when Portugal was evacuated ; when the
Portuguese Rag was rehoisted on their forts, a royal
salute was fired--the viserelumt ships did the same,
and hoisted their colours ; though it witathe opinion
of Sir William Scott, that Sir Charles Cotten might,
consistently with the laws of nations, take possession
of them, as prise, ; but he did not.
General Kellerman was close to Colonel Taylor,
of the 20th nragOttnir, when he was killed.—lle
speaks of him as a very brave man ; he says none
but a truly brave man would have adianced as he
tlid ;, and not !toying infantry to support WM. the
French cavalry surmunded him, and he lost his life
in cutting Ins way through them—Kellerman hail
possession of his horse, bat he handsomely gave it
up to the regiment, in atkniration of the owner of
it. lie says he does not understand why the peo-
ple of England should be so dissutitied with the
Convention; for if the tertus had not been agreed
to. it was the ioteutitui of Junta to have gone into
Lisbon, and, after having burnt the place, t• burn
all the ships iu the Tagus, pax o►er to Fort Elvas,
and strongly fortify it, where they could have held
out for nine months against an army of even Skimp;
Caen.

1 great part of which may be considered as
of rude simplicity, deficient in every re-
for expediting the march of British auxili-
scarcely intersected by any regular roads, and
by chains of mountains already covered
,now. Whichever of these two routes may
chosen, we anticipate the most injurious come-
. from the expe..iment ; which sill be far
fatal to us than the bayonets of the French
imiera ; or even than the attack of Lisbon,
the fortresses at the month 4,1' the 'ragas,

us now suppose, that this gallant army had
'harked by the staff of last mouth, or even
2Stii, a time wheat the first and the second
of JocoT'9 Inices were actually sailed fur
, from the Tagus. The distance from Lis-
Tarragona, in Catalonia, is not more by sea

than about le or 1900 miles, in the fiaest latitmles,
being between the 39th and 41st degrees, in sigh
of* friendly shore, trout port to port, having Cadiz,
Gibraltar, Malaga, Certbugetni, and kilt:tint, open
to theta for refreshment, or for shelter. We shall
not surely be told, that such a voyage is attended
with dan;,'er in the mouth of October, or could
possibly be liable to objections fru:n the hazard at-
tending it. No man could venture to inaintinu
such u proposition. The tune requisite for per-
forming it may be calculated at three weeks ; but
even if we allow a mouth to convey the troops to
Catalonia trout Portugal, every man might long
ago have been landed at Tarragona, or lu the llay
of Roses. And in what condition would they have
been set on share? Without previous fatigue of
any, kind, fresh, healthy, wild fit for service, having
always slept under cover, and having experienced
no ineoweitienee except sea sickness.

enough to undertake the defence of their errors and
mistakes, arising out of that fatal selection of
Conti:wailers, which led to the Conventions of the
30.11 of August. We trust that the mis-
fortnues still in prospect nut eves lie found

A vessel has arrived from the Canary Isheils. which

conveyance, we are informed, that the Island; were
not U.lanintous in their acknowledgment of l Kant-
NAND VII. The Governor of Groin! Canary, who
is elk fart a Frenchman, had prevailed over a great 1.
body of his adherents to resist all new doctrines ;
this was strongly oppo,ed by the loyal friends of
Foams 4!ID VII. 'hut the French had the advan-
tage ; they dissolved the Junta of the Island, nod
imprisoned some of the Members attached to the
new enure; the Island was u scene of confrtsion,
and the people were fearful the whole would end
in a civil broil.
