A loan of 50,000 dollars was opened here this morning by
General Castanos, for the payment of the Spanish army, and
such is the patriotic spirit of the inhabitants of this place, that
this sum was subscribed and raised in the course of a few hours ;
the subscribers refusing any interest upon the same, though ten
per cent. was offered. The communication between the Garri-
son and Spain was opened this day, as in time of peace.

Extracts from the Seville Gazette, called Gazeta Ministerial
tie Sevilla :
" Letter 4 received by the Junta from Fuente de Cantos, state,
that Proclamations were publishing by the Portuguese, and
there were great hopes of the total disorganization of the
French army in Portugal. The people of Fuente de Cantos
were taking oaths of allegiance to Ferdinand Vll.—the spirit
and patriotism of Badajos %las excellent, and the organization
was going on rapidly in all parts of Estramaditra. A Partisan
had marched with a corps from Rufra to Batlajos, and such was
the ardour by which they were animated, that they demanded
to be led directly against Lisbon. The addresses from Seville to
t►e People of Aladrid, to the Spanish Nation, and to the Por-
tuguese, are in the most enthusiastic st)le."
