WE have this day submitted to our Readers some
further ExtraZts from the Foreign Papers, the arrival
of which we-announced yesterday, and we are con
vinced that they will peruSe with disgust and indig-
nation the Proclamation which has been addressed to
the People Of Spain, in the name of the Supreme
Junta of the Government-, but which, in its style
and sentiments, bears indisputable marks of French
origin. In thii Proclamation it is at length confessed,
that several of the Provinces of Spain arc in a state of
insurrthion, and the most seducing promises and
the most dreadful threats are alternately employed to
induce them to submit themselves to the disposal of
the Corsican Usurper, and to accept of a Sovereign
of his nomination. After expatiating upon the mis-
condua of the late Sovereign of Spain, and observ-
ing that. the BOURBONS had seen themselves driven
from every Throne in Europe which they possessed
except that of Spain, it proceeds to state, that the
political events which had taken place in Europe
had rendered it necessary that they should also
descend from that Throne. It announces Buo,
NArARTE'S beneficent intention of restoring Spain
to all its former splendour, for the accomplishment
of which purpose, a Prince of his family is seleaed
to succeed the BOURBONS; and to convince them
that the Corsican has no objea' but the welfare of
Spain, at heart, they are told that, if they pre-
sume to dispute his will, or counteraa his
inten-
tions, they shall be " exposed to all the horrors of
War, their Fields laid waste, their Cities burnt, and
their habitations destroyed !" The Proclamation then
insultingly asks
,the People of Spain what means
they possess to resist the " Hero who is the author
of their present blessings?". Do they believe that "a
tumultuous levy of the brave Inhabitants, without
military skill, without Chiefs, without Magazines,
without provisions, will be able to withstand expe-
rimced Armies, grown old in the habits of victory ?'
After these denunciations of vengeance against the
Spaniards, if they should attempt to maintain their
independence, the Proclamation promises, that if
they will peaceably submit to their i)ew Master, all
their Laws and Institutions shall be maintained, and
their Religion proteaed. The respeCi which BUO-
NAPARTE has paid to time Laws and Institutions of
other Countries, of which he has eitl,er by fraud or
force become Master, must afford the Spaniards a
most consolatory pledge of the sincerity of his
professions, and, from his recent conduct to the
Head of 'their Church, they raust derive the most
-satisfaCtory assurances of his sincere regard for
their Religion ! As a final inducement :to the
Spanish Nation to accept of JOSEPH BUONAPARtft
for the King, the Prdclamation adds, that he will
undertake to perform the office at half the price
which was paid to the late King ! Such is the
language which the Junta of the 'Government are
compelled to hold out to the People of Spain, by an
Usurper, who, by the most unparalleled treachery,
has seduced their Monarch from his dominions, and,
under the pretence of friendship, introduced hiS ar-
mies into their fortresses.

It is worthy of notice, that BUONAPARTE had fixed
the 15th of June for the meeting of the Grand De.
putation from Spain, at Bayonne, and' yet the no-
mination of JOSEPH BOON APARTE took place on 'the
tith. This extraordinary, step,' we have no doubt,
was caused by the formidable appearance of the In-
surreaion in the Northern Provinces. .

We are this day enabled. to lay before our Readers
some iery important docuntentS relative to the pro-
ceedings of the Patriotic Chiefs in Spain. Under
any circumstances they would be read with pleasure,
but more evecially when put in comparison with the
degraded produelions to which we have alluded above.
We have not room to offer any observation i on them
at present, but we cannot forbear calling the attention
of the Public to the Proclamation ot the Governor and
Captain-Gcneral of Arragon, in which he threatens
the Frencb with We severest retaliation fur anyout-
rage of which tiwy nny be guilty. These Procla-
mations will be found in our last page. •

No further intelligence had reached town from
Spain or Portugal when.this Paper was put to Press,
of coarse we are unable to communicate to our
Readers any more particulars respe&ing the account
in the Oviedo Paper of the 'atlion in the -Mediter-
ranean. We observe, however, in the Foreign
Papers, an article from Venice which-states, that
Lord COLLDICWOOD had detacheda Squadron, under
Sir RICHARD STRACHAN, to cruize between the
Balearic Islands and Sardinia. If the French, there-
fore, attempted to send a force to carthagena, there
'was every probability that'Sir li. STRAC;IIAN would
fall in with- them.

fr is to be J.oped that among other means to
keep np the. .spirit of the Sp3tilaills, and :inflame,
their hatred of the Tyrant svhu is attempting to in.
slave them, if the latter iLnitulse indeed could need

any gtimulus, a full history •f his tonduet towards
the head of their Church will not be forgotten.—
BUONAPALITE pretends to be a Roman Catholic, and
yet he has conduettxl himself towards the POPE
with the basest ingratitude, as well as insolence and
injustice. He compelled the Holy Father to take a
journey to Paris, and to fix eternal disgrace upon
his charaEter by anointing an Usurper Em-
peror of France ; yet he has divested him of all
temporal authority, and, not content with taking
all his Soldiers from him, published an Address to
them on the occasion, in which he alluded to the
POPE in the most contemptuous manner, telling
them that they should no longer be under the com-
mand of Priests and Women. The Roman Cotholics
of every country may be fairly asked, what respea
their religion. is likely- to receive from a man who,
while
,he professes himself of their persuasion, can
thui treat the head of their Church, to whose sacred
authority they implicitly submit, and consider as in.
tallibie--to say nothing of the contempt with which
he spoke of Christianity itself, when he was in
Egypt, proclaiming himself a Illossulman, assuming

the name of Au BUONAPARTa, as a proof of his
sincerity, and making it his boast, in order to con-
ciliate the affeations of the Mabometans, that be
had been persecuting the Christians, and done all
he could to destroy them. These transactions are
prebahly unknown to the great body of the people
in Spain, who were kept in the darkest ignorance
respeiting all the measures of BUONAPARTE that
were calculated to excite indignation and horror, by
the late Government of that Country, lest the
French Tyrant should be offended, and invent some
expedient to wreak his vengeance upon the Country,
anci bring it to a level with his other vassal States.—
It is also 'very probable that the inferior classes of
the Roman Catholics in Ireland are by no means
apprised of this conduit of BUONArARTE if they
were, they would be mad, indeed, to listen to the
instigations of French Eatissaries, or to ho,.e fur any
relief from a, than who is actuated by no feelings but
those of insatiable ambition , and unappeasable ven-
geance against all who oppose his ferocious career.
But the last adt of BUONAPARTE towards the un-
fortunate Pontiff such a proof of a total disregard
even of the appearance of Religion, as must excite
the utmost horror and detestatiou in every person
who is sincerely devoted to the Catholic Faith, for
he has net only deprived the Pope of all tempo-
ral authority, but has aiqually taken away all his
territorial possessions, and indeed left him hardly the
means of subsistence,. out what may arise frOm the
charity of his. followers. The pretence for this en-
paralleled injustice and oppression, if possible, ag-
gravates the crime, for he has the shameless audacity
to pretend that he was influenced by religious mo-
tives, though, with an absurdity equal to his turpi-
tude in the decree by which he annihilates the Pope-
dom, he avows that he', does so because the Holy
Father had
,constantly refused to declare 'War against
the English, who have never offended him ! ! !

We have seen a letter received-by the last Gotten-
burgh Mail, whiCh states that the King of Prussia is
understood to have recently had a letter from Buo-
NAPARTH, advising him to abdicate, his throne.—
Upon receipt of this advice, the Prussiln Monarch
is stated to have immediately set oil. fur St. Peters-
burgh.

This -day no Court of Aldermen was held ; but
the LoaD•MAlroli, after • inspecting the returns of

We have authority from Mr. BELL, the landlord
of the 'White Hart Inn, at Winchester, to say, that
the article which appeared in TUE SUN of the 2 tat
inst. is a gross misrepresentation'of BELL,
we are assured, never saw Lord S. .nor Mrs. P. in a
room in 4iis !louse, nor had he one word of conver-
sation with either of the parties; we are, therefore,
surprised that such malevolent misrepresentations
should have betm made in the Public Prints, and
consider this statem.tnt ai an as of justice to Mr.
BELL, as we have been imposed upon by a false ac-
count of the transalion.
