MANILID. Inc. 3.

Thursday, after parade, His Catholic Majesty
was 4raClOWity pleased to admit to his table the
stile tili officers at prevelit su this capital, among
whom was General Laval, who rs almost completely
recovered from the wouod wilts* be received at
()cane.
The gang of the freebooter ,Ernpecinado, which
n have often made its appearance on the left of Ma-
dn.., and by its depredations and atrocities, of every
description, struck terror into the peaceable inha-
bitants of the couutry, happened, a few days since,
between Hoene and Cuenca, to get into the very
undrt of the cavalry, under the orders of Gen. Mil-
head; 100 of these hatnisui were killed en the spot,
and 50 inure, including three of their leaders, were
taken, together with tiO of their horses. It appears
eerteiu, that Empecinado, and his cousin Matiaus,
are among the slain.
The day alter (the 2351) another gang was also
cut to pieces in toe sauce wiener. Thus clop-de-
m/ON, on the part of Gen. Milhaud, war preceded
by the total dispersion of the rebellious Jsinta of
Molina iu Aragon, where Its found and destroyed
a great quantity of arms and storey. in every pl ice
tins division has passed through, 1,31 eXedlrat all-
reJnaCe has excited universal avisiirotom. The
inhabitants have net been less ast iiii Wird at the
rigid discipline to which these tromps are 6111.1.1111. ;
yowl All of them load Mein with I.slessings fur the in-
v.tlurble service which they have done them, in
clearing the country of those bands of robbers,
who, 'under the elalble of patriots, perpetually ra-
vaged their possessions.
At Hurcuja, a town in the mountains of Toledo,
near the sources of the Guarliana, a detieliment of
the Atli corps has destroyed a considerable maga-
zine of arum. Those to whose custody it was en-
trusted did nut west for the arrival of the Freuch,
before they took to night.
At an Garcia, in the province of Segovia, a gang
of 200 ruffians, that infested the highways, has been
cut to pieces. Of these 30 j,eru taken. and 60
tilled, and the rest, coveredospth wounds, owed
their safety only to the darkness o(tlw night. This
service was performed by Capt. Bourlsnn Ballet, of
the t7th horse chatacurs. Sixty horses fell into his
hairdo.

Accounts are daily received et the office of the
frvenerel Staff, of the destruction of soon new gang
of marauders.

•TITWIIIT. JAN. 8.
The following is a copy of a Proclamation which
has been published and placarded at Middleburgh :
Httadin..rt..-ra, at Middletturzle, Dee. 27, 1509.
" The feenerat of Divtaioo, Day, Ms.'', of the Empire,
Commandant of the Iwitoot of 110,Hatr, kuight of the
Ankr oldie Iwo to the eakalotatits of the
isle of ITairlaerea.
" Your isle forms a part of the French Empire.
You are called to participate iii the happy destioies
of forty millions of people, who, while they feel
proud of being governed by the greasiest Monsich
its the world, tujoy, with purity, under his almighty
protection, the fruits of his creative and vivifying
genius.
" Inbabitasts of Walcheree, spew yeti/selves
- worthy of this high favour, by your obedience to
the laws of the empire, end your devotion towards
its illtoArions Sovereign. Discontinue all mercan-
tile traffic with that nation which is the enemy of
all the tuitions of the Continent. Henceferth, every
connexion with the English would be a corer. But
how can it be supposed you would maintain any
relation with those who set foot, fur * few weeks,
upon your soil, only to spread tire and devastation
around them, at the moment of their flight ?
" The presence of the troops appointed for your
defence, will occasion no charge upon you. They
will he subsisted by mean, of the regular dis-
tributions. whirls will be provided for by the ad-
ministration of the army.
" Until further orders, the Administrative and
Judicial Anthorilies, estahlidied io the Isle a %Val-
charm, before the Inisding of the English, shall re-
. amine their functions. All acts of Public Authority
shall l:e executed ie the name of His linperiad and
Royal Majesty. Napoltami, Emperor of the French,
King of Italy." (Signed) " Gitt.tv. &c.
These Papers contain two Irg articles of a finan-
cial description. The lira is atlteport by the Mi-
nister of Finance to the Emperor, in which, after a
summary of the receipts and disbursements for the
years 1806.7-ti, occur the following passages:— •

,$ A sufficient time has not yet been afierdesi, to
enable me to submit to your Majesty a precise state-
ment of the receipts and disbursements of MO.—
It is, hoary, r, probable, that the war expenditure
for the last year cannot he under 640 million,, of
which sum only 350 millions are chargeable upon
the public treasury.
" The amount of this expenditure will excite no
anrprise, when it is considered, that, besides an im-
mense staff, your Majesty has. during 1809, main-
tained an establishment of 9taionou infantry, 100,000
horses for the cavalry service, ■nd 30,000 Int the
waggon and artillery train.
" if the year 1809 must thus have been, of ne-
osesity. expensive, the►e is every reason to conclude
that the year 1010 will admit of great retrench-
ments. In feet. year Majesty le►ied 2100,000 men
in 1809, and it does not appear to he your intention
to make any levies in 1810.

" bixty thousand horses were bought and equip-
ped in 1909. It does not seem to be in your con-
templation to purchase any in Isle.
Your Majesty also expects to be able to make
a reduction of iOO,OOO in your military establish-
went, and to limit it to 700,910 men; one-half of
this force being intended to carry en the operations
in Spain, and the other to be employed in the de.
fence of the coasts, and in maritime expeditions.
l'pvisrds of 800.000 new muskets are depo-
sited 14 our arrenala. exclusive of the foreign mus-
kets, which the fortune of syst has throws into oar
hands; and your Nlajeaty has upwards of 40,0:.00
'Here, of cannon, with all their necessary equip.
intents."

The second Article to which we have alluded, is

Committee of Finance of the Legislative Body.

LONDON.
MONDAY, hisuAtv 29.

We have received Paris Papers to the 18th inst.
They tontaiu intelligence from Madrid to the Ist inst.
from which we Iwo, that the spirit of resistance
in Spain is as general and vigorous as ever. Neither
the surrender of Gerona, the defeat at eouria, the
disaster. that have befallen the Duke of PA2QUE'S
army, nor the uniform misfortune that has attend-
ed almost every military operation fur the last live
mouths, appear ►o bare abated the teal and deter-
mination of ►he Splash people. The patriots. ur
banditti, as the French call them, are every where,
in arms, and carry their irregular warfare almost
to the gates of Madrid. The formidable state of
the country is acknowledged by BON APARTE. He
intends to send 350,0M1 men into the Peninsula,
and, sorry we are to say. that the prostrate state of
the Continent enabler him to afford it.

The majority of the Opposition, on Friday, has
spread terror and dismay through the Ministerial
ranks. The most furious of their Journals have
already turned about Ind paid their obeisance to
the rising Suu. Among these The Courier stands
foremost in the list. We remember, on the evr of
Lord GILIAIV11.1.11:11 Adiniiiistration, that Print,
then the most furious of the Treasury Journals, ad-
vertised that it would soon find it its duty to sup-
port hie Lordship's Adinioistittion. The prophecy,
however, was never fulfilled. That Administration
was formed, and it despised the proffered service
of 71e Coarser. Thus slighted, it was condemned
to continue its filthy course of slander and invective
against Lord Gaenvitts, Mr. Fox, and their
friends. And the return of Mr. PIIRCIIVAL, CAS.
NINO and Co. to power, •of course confirmed it
in its system of loyalty awl ormitatency. It was,
therefore, without surprise, we last week read the
following paragraph in that paper, because it is
only trying the same ground again : " We must say.
that the Speech made by Mr. Porsonsx, on the
first day of the Session, the hest, confessedly,
that was made on that side of the House, fully
entitles him to be the Leader of the Party, nut
only in that House, but of the Party in both
Houses."—Such is the assertion of The Courier;
but how that print means to divide Mr. Punsounr,
and make him, at the same tune, the leader iu both
Homes; we do not pretend to say. The attempt,
however, if it does not originate, as we suspect,
in the signs and tokens of the full of the pre-
sent Ministry, certainly proves, that the Editor is
fully impressed with the merits of Mr. PosisoNee.
The talents of that Gentleman, his great and ex-
tensive family connexions, his political-integrity and
consistency, liar habits of business, ■nd his temper
and manners, equally amiable in public as in pri-
vate life, in emineutly qualify him far tin proud

station of the !ruder of -Opposition in the !loose of
Commons, and if he dues nut lead them to certain
victory, they will have only to blame themselves.;
but this tardy acknowledgment of the merits of
Mr. Ponsonav, in The courier, would never have
been made, had not the Editor of that Print been
fully 'convinced that the PERCEVAL Ministry is at
its last gasp. Vermin always desert the sinking
vessel.

if any speech, ever pronounced within the walls of
the House of Peers, during the course of a reign
which already embraces near half a century, may
lay claim to the praise of being that of a States-
inn; and peculiarly of a Statesman, whose informa-
tion extends beyond the immediate interests of
Great Britain, and comprehends all Europe in its
calculations; it was the speech of Lord GRES..
VILLE, on the first day-of the present Session.—
Animated, and even indignant, when he depictured
the calamities produced by Ministerial imbecility,
or ignorance, and want of enlarged views or concep-
tions; he was equally solid, calla, lucid, :and ir-
resistible, when he sheered where and how the forces
entrusted to them might h.tve been directed, so
as to have disconcerted, if not to have overturned.
the plans of BONAPARTS for the subjection of
Austria. We may. indeed, indulge a degree of
menial. and of pardonable pride, sae may be al-
lowed to feel a peculiar gratification, at finding that
the opinions which we glee, and the statements
which we offered, are adopted and maintained. in
his place, by a Peer, at the distance of many
months, on full consideration, to whose knowledge.
judgment, and experience; even his opponents do
justice. Lord Gaxxvit.t.s unequivocally declared.
that, •' we not only peemeaed. lsyr our areal superi-
ority iu tfie Mediterranean, the means of trans-
porting finch a force to the Adriatic, as might have
contributed to alter the fatal issue of the late cam-
paign." He named T ' as the place and point
to which our exertions ought to have been prima-
rily directed; and where, if we had *eat the troops
empluyed in Spain and Portugal. we might have
prevented both MAgsIoNT and MALCOONALD from
detaching those reinforcements to NAPOLEON,
which enabled him filially to dictate the peace of
Vienna. Now, though our readers may not recol-
lect, we may be pardoned for reminding them, that.
so long ago as July and August last. we repeatedly
endeavoured to sliew, and we stood alone in so
doing, that Ministeri had manifested equal incapa-
city. and weut of enterprise or sound discernment,
in not directing. at an early period pf the campaign,
the principal effort of our military strength. to the
head ef the Adriatic. We named Triexte and
Flame, as the two plates. particularly the former,
where we should have landed the armies which
were wasted. slaughtered, or destrored. in the ex-
peditions against Castile, and apical Maples.-.
Aud we then endeavoured to demonstrate the faci-
lity with which this enterprise might have been
undertaken and accoinplished. Nothing was in
fact more practicable, nor the beneficial results of
which were more palpable. and incontestible.

It is not with less satisfaction that we see the setw
thnents of Lord Gum/mut, upon this tricot im-
portant subject, were •pproved, and even reiterated,
by Lord MOIRA, and by Lord CAI:Ts in the pro-
gress of the same debate. In the speeches of
Ministers, and of their friel:da or adherents, we
vainly seek for any satisfactory explanation, or jus-
tification of their conduct. Lord Mutoasva and
Lord LtvitaPou• seem to have been almost, if not
altogether silent, respecting so serious a charge.—
Not so however. the Earl of ilsaitownY, who, as
having replied to Lord Gaxoeitt.t's accusation,
rosy, in this instance. we presume, be fairly sup-
posed to constitute the organ of His Ms./mei
Cabinet and Adiniuistratioo, of both which, he is,
indeed, a member. Now, what does this Noble-
man assert That the expense and difficulty of
conveying. or transporting the troops to the head of
the Adriatic, rendered it impracticable; and more-
over, that if it had been practicable, it would have
been still imprudent, to send so large a force to so
great a distance from this country, ignorant as we
were, what attempts France might make oa our
own shores during their absence; or what chaugas
on the Continent might take place in the interval."
We wish to do full justice to Lord Hanitowaeo
objections; the futility, inanity, and, we must be
pardoned for adding; the ignorance, or utter ab-
surdity of which. require no superior talent sr in-
formation to expose in the strongest light.
Where, we would ask, was the expense, or the
difficulty? Were there not transports Ding rei.dy
in the Tagus? Let Admiral HILIIKetuy he called
to the her, and asked. He will inform Lord llAR-
lowly, that the vessels which had just brought
over Sir ARTHUR WIILLIZSLRY'S forces, in April.
would have conveyed them from Lisbon to Trieste.
with the utmost facility, and at little expense.
The season was most propitious. If they had em-
harked, as they might sad ought to have done, by
the Ist of May, they might have been landed either
at Trieste, or at Fiume, accordiog to circumstances,
between the tOth and the 3oth of Jane. Sit
