LON DON,
TUESDAY, AuGusr 2.

Dispatches were received, yesterday. by Govern-
ment, from Sir ARTIRIa WELLEsLEY. They were
brought to Plymouth by the Plover sloop of war,
Capt. BILOWNZ, direct from Oporto, where Sir
WILLESUIT arrived. with the Expedition
under his command, on Saturday se'llnight. 6e-
veral Portuguese of distinction, who have been ap-
pointed Commissioners, on the part of the Patriots,
to the British Government, are arrived in the
Plover. The Plover had lyte:t with our sytadrun
off Cadiz, before she touched at Oporto.

• We cannot undertake to say whether Sir AR-
Tnua Wet.LEst.sv intended to land his troops at
Oporto, and direct his operations from that qudter
agaiust JuNcr. The hue of march from Oporto to
Lisbon may be fairly computed at 130 English
milts. The strength of JUNOT, we understand.
has been much misrepresented. It is confidently
said, that, having called in the detachments which
occupied Elvas and Evera, his concentrated form
consists at present of 17,000 men. On the other
hand, we have reason to believe that the 5000
troops embarked at Ramsgate, and which sailed on
Sunday sennight. under convoy of the St. Alban's,
have been sent out to reinforce Sir Amnia WEL-
LICILEV.

The army of the Portuguese Patriots, consisting
of 8,000 regulars and il,OOO Patriots, had ad-
vanced beyond Coimbra. After the check whicD
• General Loisos received, Julsor seemed to he
doubtful what stepes to take.—LoisoN however had
dispatched part of his force to join a division under
General LABOADIt, whom JUNOT to San-
tarem, and who had advanced beyond that place to
Leria, with a view, as was supposed, is give battle
to the Patriots. ',aria is on the Lis, about 14
miles east of the ocean—Coimbra is on the Mon-
ilego—drey are about 50 miles distant from each
other.—lt should seem as if .1c NOT wished to press
an engagement with the Patriots before our troops
arrived. Sir APITIMIL WELLWILItYi we believe,
dispatched from Coruona • Messenger to the Pa-
triot army, with an account of his approach.
A letter from Plymouth, received yesterday,
mates, that Sir ARTHLa LLI.XSI.EY'II expedition
had landed at Oporto ; and that Lotsox, at the
head of 4,000 French troops, was Willis back to
join Juircre at Lisbon. Lutsox is drarhed with
exercising the greatest cruelties on his unarch.

Jostea BONAPARTE. otherwise denominated
King of SPAIN and the Imams, had arrived, as we
hod by the Dutch hymn., on the 14th of July,
at Burgos, the capital of Old Castile. The narrative
of his journey or progress towards Madrid is, how.
ever, confined principally to the personal motious
of this Corsican adventurer; sad does not digress
into any, even the most distant mention of Du-
ronv, LASALLE, or LEFEBVRE. We may safely in-
fer from this silence, that by the latest accounts
received from the interior of Spain, Saragossa
hod not repented nor opened its gates ; nor had
Duronv advanced upon Seville. Smith events
would not have been concealed from the French,
nor withheld from the Dutch. Yet we know, if
we may credit the preceding recount* given in the
foreipi papeni, that all attack upon Saragossa was
destined to take place on the sth of July ; that is,
nine days previous to Ilon Joss-loss's arrival at Bur-
gos. If any mach attack had been mode, a•Ad that
the French were massturo of the capital of All *goo,

it to suppose that it wonLI not ion,
been related,: in fact, th.s silence of the ;Volitive;
and the husgeage of these Dutch Papers. equally
concur to Forney the belief. that BOWAPARTC, fur
the first time since his rebeat from before Acre,
has no longer any vietolies to conontsinoriate. Let
us, nevertheless, tallow Jotted Ou lits route, *slop-
ing the truth of the facts which are stated to have
occurred ; we shell sill der,ve Irene them some
information, and still spore ground, of belief, or of
Conviction.

" roe est et ib boobs dooroi."

It would appear then that he remained two
days is the capital of the province I,f Alava, that
he went to supper *Caine o'cls.ck, assisted at the
are-works performed in bowel of his arrival at
Vittoria, received the Magistrates and Deputies
with royal coadescension; and, above all, that he
issued is Proclamation to the Spanish nation. That
Proclamation is a paper by r means coutemptil,le.
On the contrary, it is draws up with consummate
ability, and is calculated-to produce a very favour-
able impression of the man by whom it is. promul-
gated. If we may believe Josern, all the felicity
of Span, wider lassait.s, of Castile, and all the
glory of the Spanish Monarchy, under CIIAILLES
the FIFTH, shall be renewed and combined under
his beneficent reign. A new golden age shrill de.
ticeuil upon earth.
" Jam ours progenies cob dersittitur alto."

FENELON, iu his Telemachus, could not have
stretched out a more beautiful or seducing picture;
nor /hum anTON, in Ilia Oceans:, hare imagined a
more . perfect form of Government, cowhiuing
freedom with energy, and the complete protection
of the subject, with the Majesty of the Sbvereign,
than arc delineated and promised by this Cuitiff;
the sae tool of a flagitious Usurper, whose enor-
niitiesimein to increase a ith his power.
Let us not, however, %%bile we reprobate and ex-
pose, allow ourselves to despise, this production.—
It int itbly intendd to operate on the minds of every
Spaniard, who, sensible to the imbecility of the
-late Government, deprecating the continuance of
such a despotism us that of the BOURBONS, and
desirous; of seeing a free constitution estaulished iu
its place ; may be induced to trust to these assur-
ances, and to forget on what occasion, as well as
by whom, they are made. Josses liberally pro-
mises, die re-establishment of the Coites, inne-
bonded ; personal and political liberty to the sub-
ject ; the incorrupt administration of justice; the
suppression of c; cry oppressive tax ;" in a word,
all that TRAJAN or Msat us Auasttus could have
done for the Roman people. He reluctantly ad-
`mils, hue ever, that the most deplorable anarchy
peva& among his new subjects; some of whbm
seem disposed, before they recognize this Usurper at
second-hand, created by Smother Usurper, calling
himself the representative of CHAPI.XSAnNE 3041 of
CLOVIS, to ask how suds an intruder dares to out-
rage the Spanish nation, by laiing his plebeian
hand upon the sceptre of CHARLES the Firm ? It
would, nicked, in our judgment, have been not
only more magnanimous in BONAPARTE, but more
wise and able, to have proceeded by any other mode
toaards the attainment of his object, than by that
which he has chosen. The int:opacity of CH•RLES,
and the ductilityof Femurs AND, may have justly
weakened the affection or esteem of their subjects
towards such Princes. If lie had declared them
unworthy longer to reign, and had marched into
Spain, at the head of 150,0c0 men, with the avowed
intention of deposing them ; if he had suppressed
the BOURIEN dynasty, as the Meaominzats and
CARLOVINGIAN races were successively extinAuish-
eil in France; assuming those acts as precedents
for his own conduct ; and if he had then placed the
Crown on his brother JOSE:PIea head et Madrid, as
he placed the iron crown of the Lombard Kings on
his own, at Milan, only a short time ago ; if ha had
acted thus, the sublimity, energy, and even the vio-
lence of the proceeding, would have, in some mea-
sure, covered, and made it tolerable, if not vene-
rable. Men, oppressed and dazzled by such ex-
plait's, would have sunk under their lustre, and
have forgotten their enormity. Ile would have
seemed to be made for universal empire; and, as
was said of Louts the FOUITLENT.I. by the adula-
tion of his Courtiers,
" Lc Monde, an le roma, auroit recently sou maitre."

But. happily fur mankind, Providence him not
dispensed to him one ray of real greatness, or ele-
vation of mind. Ile may mimic, mistime, or affect
it, in order to serve a purpose ; but his nature is
ferocious, hare, and treacherous. By a combina-
tion of those qualities, he terrified, entrapped, de-
posed, and imprisoned the Kings of Spain, his
allies. From that moment, in every honourable
bosom, the errors and faults of those unfortunate
Princes, were effaced or obliterated by their cila-
mity. Loyalty, even a sense of individual dignity,
and of collective honour, forbid a whole nation to
acknowledge a dominion, founded in outrage, per-
fidy, anti unqualified usurpation. Human nature
would have been degraded by submission to so op-
probrious a tyranny, of which even antiquity, NO
fertile in examples of enormity, could exhibit no
parallel in PNALARIS, in Dtorsystus, or in NAIIIL
It is, we repeat, Bou•raafs hiniself who seta
limits to his own further career, and who, a e be-
hew, whatever transitory triumphs may attend his
arms beyod the Pyrenees, will Si perish, the
victim of his want of moderation, of good faith, and

events.
