RAII TO THE Flik:liC/1 AND THE TVIIANTS.-PEACE AXD

A)ION ALL St. I,4IANDIL

The ewer memorable city or Tarifa anti its Island. inaccessible
to the conquerors of Attsterliu stud Jcna, has been the theatre or
the liras glories of the Liberating Artily. The city an.l die isle
have been taken by assault with the bayonet. without more iti-
jut y on our sole than two slightly wounded. All the garrison re-
main inlioners; and same miserable guards, that dared to lire, fell
dead m the act. as well as tbeem 1111 l artier of the castle.

31any piers of artillery, more than four thousand musket*,
and an innumerable quantity of ammunition, have fallen into our
posies.
This intereging point having been occupied, the army is or-
ganised and augmented eve:), moulent. M .ny Royalist sohlient
have acknowledged their 'nor, aotl pa..ed over to our ranks,
where they have been received with a corresponding warmth.
Many Liberals. of all classes, have rhsweml the cull of their
country ; and all united form a strong phalanx, which will speedily
cant, terror and e%termination to our enemies.
. . . . .

Other divisions of this army operate at different points, and be-
fire long we shall be able to announce new triumph.. Thepeopie—
the oppressed people—shall be assisted to throw of the hateful
furelic: yoke, as they repeatedly desire and express.

SECOND BULLETIN OF TIM I.IIIERATING ARMY.
The enemies of Spain and its liberty, who vainly boasted in a
moment to defeat our ranks,'and get possession of this fortress,
have paid very dearly for their iniagmaamt. The memorable actions
of the 7th and 9th inst. hare made them kitow the difference which
exists between the ranks of the free and those of slaves. On both
days they attacked the place, and contented every point of ground,
and on both they have left the field covered with dead, taking as
their resard terror rind our contempt.
The enemy has had more than slkt killed ard wounded, reckon-
ing among them Vatielli subaltern officers and their chiefs, without
any less un our side; and the free and glorious French, who
sought to give freedom and glory to the whole world, come to be
immolated as victims to fanaticism end tyranny. The place is
abundantly provided with every thing, by the supplies of men and
provisions, which the Supreme National Directory has not forgot
to send. The spirit of the troops and the people is the best
possible, and their valour and intrepidity, united to the efferts of
the exterior divisions, will make us rapidly triumph. In fine,
those who dreamed of occupying Tarifa on the 6th, have retired
shamefully front before it on the 9th, having paid dearly for their
hardihood.

The French naval forces on which they reckon are absolutely
useless at tlos point, on account of the situation of its straits;
and should they overcome this obstacle, and reach the island, they
will experience the effects of our arms, and give occasion to new
triumphs.
soldiers! Each triumph thews us the path to the accomplish-
ment of our hopes. The country expects all from you; and the
Supreme Notional Directory, and our worthy liener.dissimo,
doubts not that you will do your duty, and prepare the reward of
your labours.

PORTUGAL.
On Friday last (3d inst.) his Majesty's ship Genoa, Cap-
tain Sir Thomas Livingstone, Bart. arrived at this port
from the Tagus, after a tedious passage of three weeks,
having, till Tuesday morning se'nnight, seldom experienced
any but north-easterly winds. The Genoa left lying in
the Tagus, his Nl‘jesty's ships Windsor Castle (bear-
ing the flag, pro ten:pore, of Vice-Admiral the Right Hon.
Lord Amelius Beauclak, K.C.B. Commander in Chief),
Ocean, and Lively.
His Most Faithful Majesty and the Princesses generally
resided at the Palace of Betnposta, and the Queen at the
Palace of Queluz. When the Genoa left the Tagus, no-
thing of importance was passing in Lisbon ; and, excepting
naval and military preparations fur an intended expedition
against the Brazils, everything WO% a pacific appearance;
and there apparently existed that happy unanimity of all
parties which is the -basis of a good government, and tends
more to unite a King to his people than the arbitrary mea-
sures of a despotic administration. Every possible mark
of respect is paid by our squadron to his Faithful Majes.,
and the Princesses; and whenever they pass up or down
the river (which they generally do once or twice a 'lay in
the Royal barge), the yards arc manned, the ships' com-
panies cheer, and the flag ship fires a royal salute and
hoists the Portuguese standard at the main. His Majesty's
peculiar regard for the English, for the services rendered
him by our gracious Sovereign, is conspicuous on every
occasion, both public and private ; and at Court his mark-
ed attention to our naval officers was constantly the theme
of conversation, invariably receiving than with the moat
unaffected urbanity. During the Genoa's stay in the Ta-
gus, his M-jesty was graciously pleased to honour her with
a visit, accompanied by his three Royal daughters and
suite. Ills Majesty and their Royal Highnesses, attended
by Sir Thomas Livingstone and his officers, inspected every
part of the ship, awl expressed their admiration of her
warlike appearance, discipline, and order. His Majesty
and the Princesses afterwards partook of an elegant enter-
tainment, prepared for them by Sir Thomas and Lady Li-
vingstone. The august and Royal visitors, on leaving the
Genoa, expressed to Sir Thomas Livingstone, in the must
affable and flattering terms, the high gratification they had •
derived from their visit, and the des p sense they should
entertain of the respectful attention they had received front
him and the officers. Prior to her departure, the officers
of the Genoa gave an elegant ball and supper, which was
attended by Lord Ameliva Beaueletk, Sir Thomas and
Lady Livingstone, the Captains and officers of the English
and French ships of war, and some of the principal inha-
bitants of Lisbon.-IVmssas Journal.

The Pacific, Captain 11f•Guwan, arrived here yesterday
(Tuesday, 7th inst.) from Buenos Ayres ; sailed on the
241 of July, a week after the Wahhigham packet, which
arrived at Fahnonth on Saturday laid. She has brought
letters to the 2d • but they do not contain any news. No
recent accrnint of the state of the affairs in Peru had been
rectived at Buenos Ayres up to the lid July.—Lirerpuol

Letters from Port-au-Prince to the 29th July declare
that the alarm of invasion in St. Domingo had greatly sub-
sided. From the information of those most in the situa-!
don of Leing acquainted with the policy of the French
Ministers, we believe that r.othing so snail u an expedition
against St. Domingo is meditated by thou. The rupture
with the Haytian lhputies arose from the wish of France
to maintain the nominal au:era/uric or feudal superiority
orrr the island. The llaytian Deputies hail no power to
recede from the demand for perfect independence, in name
as well as reality.
Letters have been !revived from Alvarado, dated the
1 ith of July, at which time Mexico was tranquil. The
two Generals, Quintanar and liustamente, who had been
toroth(' at Guudalacars, hrtl beets rent to Mexico, where
they will be tried for attetnpting to excite an insurrection
against the existing Government. Letters from Clutha-
gcna confirm the defection of the Spanish General Gimlets,
who, it is pesitively rated, bad joined Bolivar.
