bitter.

Don Bias de Manzi, Counsellor of State of his
Catholic Mije.ty, !loyal Commissary, Prefect of
this Province. Sce, His Excellency the Mur,tial of
the Empire, Duke of Dalmatia, has transmitted to
me the following orders, dated the 7th tust.:—
The state of the South ut Spam tutpeliously re-
quires that rigorous measures should he alopten
to encourage respectable people, soil destroy those
factious bands who endeavour to excite in this un-
happy kiugdom all the horrors of civil war': it is
therefore become necessary, in consequence of this
state of affairs, to rigidly tulorce the follo•inig or-

14 That there should he a necessity, in the pre-
seat times, to enforce by arguments, truths which
ire is themselves evident, is really melancholy ;
but such is the dread of the power of France
that has pervaded every rank and description of
persons in this country, that they dare no longer
trust, either to the dictates of their earn reason,
or to the evidence of their senates. Lct us, how-
ever, minnow., in compliment to their appro.
bensions, that on some dark winter's night, der-
ing the interval of a treacherous peace, a naval
force should be provided by our enemies, which
at break of Jay should 'nail a numerous army on
our own shores--Is there a British head or a British
beau, that in contemplating the schiestemenia of
our countrymen in Egypt. in Italy, in Spain, in
every Part of the glebe iu which they have beets
pieced in hostile arrey against the enemy. could
feel a doubt of the result! But if such have been
their courage and success in distant lands. what
would be their efforts on their own shores, against
an enemy who're power they have deCed, whose
superiority they acorn, and whose treachery they
would detest ? If under the supposition of an
event, the occurrence of which defies probability,
and noir es common sense--.the iamb* of Eat-
lard by France in a time of profound pewee•-••ive
shOuld for one moment de-pair of making an etc-
teal resistance, or of inflicting upon our invaders •
deserved and speedy vengeance, we are already
ripe for the yoke, and onght to submit, without a
murmur, to any fate that dray await us.
1. Few has, hnWeeer, no bounds, and national
feats act as as epidemic. It may therefore. per-
haps, be slid, that although uo 4 prepara-
tions may. eluting a itate of peace, be Made by
France for the destroetion of thii country. yet
that such a state will afford our enemies an op-
portuany of building a nary, in the various ports
now under their authority. to be ready for effect-
ing their purpose in case of a rupture. the causes
of which are always in the power of tither party.
This, however, Is, in fact, only a recurrence to the
former argument, and consequently admiti Of a
similar reply. Ships cannot be built and navies
formed In secret ; and if such preparatidas wens
made, beyond the extent which the exigences
• of a country in a state of peace might require,
they would first become the proper object of re-
eneuntrance, midi for want of explanation, of
hostile interference. upon the admitted principle
before stated: but, independent of this, it may
justly be °harm& that the period of peace is not
the time in which a navy can be formed. It is not
bulks, and ropes, and canvass alone that constitute
a navy: in order to render it complete and for-
midable, skilful commanders and hardy and ex-
perienced seamen are required, and these can
only be obtained by • lung course of hostile die-
tipline. That France should ever arrive at such
is degree of maritime power as to become formi-
dable to this country, there is but one chance,
sod that is, by our continuance of the peteent
cur. In the early periods of her revolt:Bon,
France was not less inferior to her numerous
adversaries iu military strength, resources, and
experience, than she is now 1:1 naval power to
this country; yet, being driven on by her m-
oires either to submission or resi-taitce, she has,
amidst dangers and calamities, internal dissen-
. ohm and external war, fought her way through
derision, defeat, and disgrace, not only to vie-
toil and indepenienca, hut to au unexampled
degree of military power and glory, In admitting
therefore with Lord Grey. that one enemy now
Fluids at his disposal the resources cf all those ma-
ritime powers, who, in former times, hare even dia.
paled with uarselres the expire the sect, let is
slot seauto ily and unnecessarily compel him, for
Lis Own defence, to cull those powers into action.
After having united with our allies to render him
great by land, let us now at least take core IND, we
do nut render him great by sea. At pros: rit his
navir%err growing in the woods, and his seamen
tilling the field., or tilling the ranks of his armies.
Let its be mullions how we compel them to op-
;kin in more foriniilolil-! situation_. Alen act
wit without motives; and without Mar 1100114 y,
out adversary eau have uo atlegni.te karma for tn.

gaging in the fish of forming a *swat establish-
meat that may rival that of this country. In the
prtfetal situation of the globe. he is already su-
perior to every other naval power. and can there-
fore entertain no fear bid from auywisei. Even
our maritime strength is to him nn lezitimate
abject of envy. Ships, cninnies, and commerce,
•

which are to n s of iatlisprntible neceotity, are to

him only of sece.idery imp•irtanee. The attempt

to attain them would only involve him in new
contests. which it is his true interest to avoid ;
and notwithstanding his memorable language re-

specliag them, which produced such a
_sensation

in this couutry, there is little probability of his
directing his efforts to this purpo.e ; otherwi.e,
he would nor, in the negotiations of mid, hive
proposed to divest France of an important a por-
tion of her colonial pnseessiona in both the East
and West Indies. It is therefore apparent, that
if France ever become a great naval power, Eng-
land most not only censorl her to the necessity
of it, but mint undertake to be her instructor ;
and that for making an attempt which must tic-

cessarily employ so large a proportion of her re-
sources, she can have no motive but the expec-
tation or terminatinpv, a war, the continuance of

which cannot fail, from the nature and extent of

mar strength, to be the perpetual object of her
vigilance and her apprehension.
" Dismissing, however, the vague and chimerical
fears which we have hitherto continued, it may
be reasonably itthaittea that France, although
•nslsle to reduce this country to the condition
of a dependant State, may yet, during a season
of trasguillitye interrupt her progress and en-
croach upon her prosperity; and that it is there-

fore.etvr ioterest, at ell event. and by every por

obi* exertion, to diiitinish that power which we

shall otherwise have perpetual reason to dread.
in reply to this. it might be observed. that the
Creator of the nuirerse has not so di.posed his
wort•. that the prosperity or aggrandizement of
one State must necessarily imply the debasement

or misfortune of another ; and that the two great
communities of Great Britain and France are not

less catewlated to assist each other in the cause of
national hnuau► sal felicity. than they are to op-
pose each other by arms and violence. It most,
however. unhappily be admitted, that so fortunate
a result must be the offspring of more gene-
rous sentiments. and mare ealightenel views,
than are et present to be expected from the recent
conduct of either of these two powerful countries
and that until inch an event tapes place, it will he

incumbent upon us, by every fair and instiflable
effort, to maintain ourselves upon an equalit►, at
least, with our rival State ; but it would be no leis
eriminal than it would he Owned. to suppose that
the mere superiority of one State is a sufficient
ground for the pe►manent hostility of another.--
In the community of nations. as in that of ind -
triduels. providence has determin►d that there
shall be degrees of pre-eminence ; and it is no more
justifiable to attack a natina by war. on account
only of its superior strength or greatneis, than it
would he in private life to assassinate every person
of higher rank than oureelves. It is only by in-
dustry.• by integrity. by knowledr. by the encou-
ragement of enlarged ■nd virtuous sentimentl,
by the cultivation of the human mind its every
department of science and or art, that we ought
to contend for superiority over others. It is bf.
Such contexts only, that the human race can be ef-
fectually improved, and it is these clone that coun-
teract the calamities which the brutal struggles
of physical strength have hitherto indicted upon
mankind.
These sentiments are given to the winds.—
Jealousy will continue to exasperate, and war to
decide, the coutests of r:val States. We will there-
fore suppose, that it is. in itself, highly expedient
fur this country to humiliate the pride, and diminish
die power of France. Vet we most at the same
time be permitted to doubt, whether to desirable
an event is likely to be obtained by a further pro-
accolinn of the war. To what is the present mg-
eandizement of France, so amply dwelt upon by
Lord Grey, to be attributed ? or why have we to
lament the more 'formidable position which she
has now aeinmed with respect to the rest of
Eurttie ? Is it because we made au nuoilvised
and imprudent peace aith her. and thereby gave
her an opportunity of taking measures for her pre-
sent aggrandiiement ? Or have we not, on the
contrary, exerted all our earls to oppose he► in
every part of the globe where there was any
prospect of success ? Illid his Lordship been
fortunate enough to have restored peace to Eu-
rope in 1806, what would probably have been
the situation of France ■t tnis ino.nent ? Is it
certain, or is it even probable, that Austria
would again have been compelled to bite the
dust, and Proteins have hren destrered• as on in-
dependent state? Is it likely that Rossi'. See-
den, and Denmark, would have been found at
this time in strict alliance with Ermice ? Is it
even certaiu, that if Bonaparte had not found an
inflexible enemy in this country, against whom
he wished to obtain new resources and new points
of attack, ht world have attempted the subjuga-
tion of Spain and Portugal ? Would he at this mo-
ment have found himself the undisputed dictator
of the Continent of Europe ? Or would a daughter
of the House of Austria have been the partner of
Isis throne ? It is then, in all pretpel.ilits:, because

a recenteiliation with France di I not take place, that
we have now to regret the extended authority V.
tsar enenty,and the mere formidable attitude which
he has assumed with respect ta what remains of the
independence 6f Europe. Whist might have been
the present posture of affairs. in case of such a
pacificatioti, cannot indeed I.c precisely determined;
lint we may with confidence assert, that no cireuai-
stagers could have occurred, which could: have
contributed to the aggrandizement of the French
ruler, in any degree to be compared with what
has actually taken place. It is indeed. true, that
from the origin of the present contest, eve'', effort
that has been made to limit the dominion and
repress the -power of France, has tended only
to increase them ; yet the period iu which this
extraordinary arcesion has taken place, is, pre-
cisely that, between the nriotiations in lao6, end
the present time. ILuetia, Prussia, Austria, Swe-
den, Denmark, Spain. and Portugal, with a very
considerable portion of Germ nay and [.sly, might
have been rescued from the authority, or secured
from the influence of the enemy. E'..en Hanover
might yet have been under the dominion of the
House of Brunswick; and the French Emperor, al-
though greatly aggrandized by the folly, the per-
tinacity, and the weakness of former Ministeta of
this country, would have found a termination. if tint
of his ambition; at least of the means if gratifying
it, in the tranquillity of a general peace.

LON DON,
SATURDAY, SEPTCYCIIII 13.

No further al:likes have been received from I.nrd
WELL! NUTOK ; but a greet mass of intelligence
has been communicated in private accounts and
letters from various parts of the Spanish Peninsula.
Now that the attention of the Crand Army of France
is occupied by the Allies on the Portuguese frontier,
the people of Spain have an opportunity Of shelving
themselves. If ever they can make an effort for
their deliveraoce, she present is the moment; rod
we are happy to find that the inhabitants are aware
of this situation, and eve ry where appear obedient to
the call of their country. The gallant conduct of
Tortosa we have already bad occasion to notice.
Barcelona we find is so closely watched, that not a
man nor an ounce of provisions can en' r it; and e,s to
C uliz, it is almost soy thing but a besieged tea n.—
Nothing can more distinctly shew the security
which the inhabitants feel, than the late drafts made
from the garrison to reinforce Lord W ELLIN GTO
army; and the Expedition which lately sailed from
it, the militaiy part under General LACK, and the
naval under Capt. Commas of the Implacable.
This Eapeditioo was considered only part of a cons-
hilted plan of operations. Its first object, it was
supposed, would be the defeat or dispervion of
Duke of D'Annemotaa's corps, about fiftien
hundred strong, which was committing every spe-
cies of depredatioh in the neighbourhood of Huelva.
Having performed this service, its next object would
probably be to form a junction with • co rr of the
•rmy of BA LLASTEKOS, in the vicinity of Seville',
which had defeated the army of Mamie. fix
this action, Morrten, who bad falleo in with Bat..
LASTIROS at the foot of the Sierra Morena,attacked
him with great impetuosity. The latter made a gal-
lant resistance ; but the French having turned
one of his wings, the fortune of the day was likely
to be in their favour, when Caaaaaa arrived with
a body of Spanish cavalry, and, dashing in among
the enemy's ranks, pas them to flight, forcing
them to retreat to Seville in great disorder.—
The French army left to carry on the siege of Ca-
dii, is not estimated at more than 18,000 men, and
its weakness and embarrassment {oust be apparent,
when sa small • force as that under Lac, could
venture to throw itself iu its rear, and penetrate
to Seville ; while the •rmy of BLAKE was ad-

yawing into Andalusia from Murcia. These
combined operations. if executed Math success,
world probably have the effect of ralsing the i
siege of Cadiz. With the united armies of BLARE. I
HALLAM/LOS. aid LAct, acting in the rear of
the besieging army, and cutting off all its supplies
and rerources, it would be placed in a most perilous
situation, without any hopes of safety but retreat. I

A violent storm was experienced nn the Postern
coast. on Wednesday last. The fleet bound to the
1311:tie. nbout seventy sail. under convoy of the
Pandora sloop of war, and Starling gun-hrig, lying
in 11.i7eley lisy, sustained considerable dainsge,
try sown of the ships drifting, anti obliging ntlit•rs
to cut ; about SO ships lost their anchors. Several
vessels also lost their anchors in the Downs.

A German paper states, muter the head of Milan,
Afloat 1, that the Duke of OTRANTO (Fouoir)
