reeiproFal confidence between both nations, will, Without doubt,
suffice to calm the intinietude which momentarily was excited 1,
in the mind of your Excelieticy, by the rumours and wrisings
which ?tier occa-ion for, your Excellency's Note, and at the
same time, flatter myself will ensure the continuation of the aid
which the painful situation of Spain render so indispensible, in
order to happily conclude the heroic contest in which it is en-
gaged, And whose success must necessarily be favourable through
the unit. -ti efforts of the two united upions. I reiterate to your
ExcelLu o
ymy great tecin and consideration.—God preserve
your Excellency many years.

FROCLAMATION OF THE ENGLISH GFNEItA,L DOYLE,
DATED
.14 ATAIIO, JULY 8.
" CATALONIANS !--Suchet has spread a report that
nuonaparte has commenced to treat for. Peace with
Great Britain, and that he Palle so anxious it should
take effect, that he sent yrand to London,
and was himself gone to the vicinity of the coast, to
facilitate a prompt communication.
" Remember, valiant and unconquerable Catalo..
niansi that it is scarcely a year since this same Su-
diet asserted the British Government, in conjunction
with the Spanish, had made peace with France ; and,
in consequence of it, he recommended the Catalo•
iiians to retire to their homes, sinCe there would no
longer be any war,and what werethe means he adopt-
ed to give publicity and weight to this infamous tra-
chery ? He published a Proclamation, and forged
the signature of Captain-General O'llonnell—an
act till then unheard of and unknown But this
treason, this vile intrigue, did not produce the
effect Suchet had promised himself, in place of
retiring to their homes, more than 10,000 youths
joined the ranks of the army.
" I deceive myself much, or Senor Suchet wishes
(now that no other resource remains to him) to
impede the general rising of this indefatigable prin.
cipality, which never can be effected by his saying
France was treating for peace with England ; he
• foolishly. judges that you, Catalonians, will - allow
• yourselves to be seduced, and think that
the great efforts you now make, and will
contitine to make, and which the enemy so great.
ly fears, must be useless. He says the Eng.
lash are treating for peace, because he knows it
would increase your difficulties in receiving suc.
tours ; Senor Suchet calculates this consideration
ought to discourage and influence much—Cata-
lonians, he tells you nothing of French perfidy, or
of the little faith you shonld place in their promises
or information. Your own ground furnishes you
with undeniable proofs of the impossibility of join.
ing the words Ig good faith" with the French
Nation ; courage then, Catalonians, England will
never abandon you, but on the contrary redouble
her efforts, because you redouble your own. A gene-
ral effort then, oh Catalonians, and do not hearken
to the French, the French party , or the timid.

sometimes detachments are made from the divi.
sion which is in Thetbas, and the vicinity- to Be-
gan to procure provisions.
Don Carlos Hespatia is to arrive before night at
Vitegodeicho, where he expects Dun Julian San-

VALLADOLID, AUGUST 12.
A traveller who left Parts on the 20th, says, that
there was much talk of the imprisonment of several
Generals who had been in Spain, and that discon-
tent in the capital was general, and that the affairs
of Spain were talked of with -great freedom ; that
he had met with no troops on the way, and that
there could be but very few.
The 18,000 men who were collected at Bayonne,
are those who are to enter Spain, and it appears,
that 2500 had already arrived at Vittoria, at which
place there was the same garrison, amounting to
I'2oo infantry, and 300 horse.
The troops which escorted the last convoy,
.marched by Rio Seco, whence .have arrived 300
carts of wounded, and many others on foot.
The Regiment of Lancemen of Berg, who have
been so much talked of, are now reduced to only
40 men.
The contribution of this province, which was
estimated at 19 millions (1,900,000)0 will exceed
100 (10 millions of crusades). .
