-circumstance, to give a proof of my est'oem for the
Deputies .of the 'Departmenits in the .Legislative
Body, by sending them the colours conquered with-
in a fortnight after opekling the Session. 'May the
Deputies of the Departments, and the 'ElettOral
Colleges to which they belong, discover' in this pro-•
reeding the desire I have to give them a proof of
my esteem. Thil letter having no other obje6t,
pray God to take you into his holy kaeping.

General Kellerman has arrived at Paris from Lis:.
bon. He landed at Havre de Grace on the 13th.--
Before his departure from LisbOn,. he had'dispatclmd
every thing necessary to the complete execution of
the Conirention. Some ditticultie, had' arisen- re-
speCting the evacuation of the fortress of Elvas, but

bah transports on their return to France.

ROTTERDAM,- Nov, 21.—Letters from Paris, of
the 18th, state, that the. King of Sweden had mades
proposals of peace to the Court of Den Mark, but it
was not known what reception they had met. They,
farther mention, that on the 12th, the Corvette La
Diligente put into the roach of L'Orieut, after an
absence of 92 days. She was put under quaran-
tine- Itmas, hoWeVer„ eurreutly reported, that she
had, a few days before, on her passage from Mar-,
tinique, fallen, in with and engaged an English brig
of eighteen 32-pound carronadei, which, she left
a complete wreck, and was only prevented by the .
badnessof the weather from taking possession of her.
-La Ditigente had 40 men killed and wounded,
Among the former was the Officer Buncheron.

They followed their' usual pra&ice of attacking 'O3
,with double or triple numbers, when deceit and in.
trigue failed to reduce our troops at Burgos, where,
scarcely one half of—them had arrived. They sns-
tained.a vivid fire of 13 hours, in which they detieJ
the efforts of 00u-infantry and 3000 cavalry. Tit'ey
retired in good order to unite themselves with rL
remaining -.divisions, and preme, to chastise the te-
merity of the enemy, after having.rnade thernalrearly
.repent of their blind confidne:.: of conquering wiat
their large number of foot and cavalry, before our
troops hideorne up.

ORDER OF THE SUPREME ,Tr..7NTA.

" Whilst the Supreme Junta of Government of
the Kingdom are actively employed, without inter-
mission, to grant every possible assistance to our
valt;rou aray, and whilst they omit nothing tltt'"
can contribute to the• success of So important' and so
just an enterprise ,as the defence of our country
against the tyrant
,of mankind; the Junta feels the
most pungent grief at the -scarcity of vehicles to con-
vey salted meat to the army, as all the military, and
a number
of private carriages are occupied in traits-
porting cloathing and other necessary and indispensa-
' bits articles. In ,such circumstances, the Supreme
Junta, fully sensible of the generosity and patriotism
'which the people *of Madrid have manifested at all
timea, but principally since the capital was occupied.
by the Prench troops, the Supreme Junta, and I in
their Royal name, .appeal to-the loyalty and lidelity,
the.people, by requiring all person's who possess
cattle of.burthen, covered or other carriages, -to de-
liver them, to be employed in this important sir-
vice, to Don- cayesano Rodriguez de Mora.
