SATURL4Y, JULY G, 1808.

We have little to add to the vey ample and •
. „. .
gratifying details which we yesterday laid before our
Aeaders 'respeaing Spain. A donbt has been
pressed in a Morning Paper with regard to two par- •
ticulars in these details,- viz. the passarre of General
pupowr over the Sierra Morena, and the arrival of
his advanced Guard at Cordova; and the landing of
Pen. SPENCER at Nyarnonte, for the purpose ofinter-
cepting a French Corps-that was advancing from Pot.,
tugal. With regard to the former, we can positively
assert, that intelligence to that effea had. reached Ca-
diz, and that it was not doubted. With respe& to the
latter, we did not say that Gen. SPENCER had aaually
handed at Ayam9ote ; stated, and we • again
're-
peat, that before the Dispatches came away, Gene,-
ial SPENCER had, In compliance with the request of
the Spaniards, sailed for Ayamonte for the purpose
Of intercepting the French Corps. that were advancing
from Portugal. There can be very little doubt that
the next Dispatches from I,ord COLLINGWOOD will
Contain an account of the unconditional surrender
'of the FrenCh Fleet, for it had sUffered very consi-
derably by the fire from the Spanish Gun-boats and
Batteries, before the French Admiral hoisted the
Flag of Truce. One of the Ships, it is said, was
driven on shore. The fOrce of the'Patriots in Murcia
and Valencia is estimated at 80,000 men, and sub-
acriPtiens to the aniunt of above one million sterling
were raised in two days.'
The _Govercors of Carthagena, Valencia, and 'Sa=
tagossa, have been displaced by the Patriots, ..on ac-
count of their attachment to the Frenel).

In Valencia the Marquis D'Acvni;EZ was killed
by the people in the 'Market-place.

IT was announced last night that Sir JOHN MOORE
had arrived in the Downi. 'Sir JouN has not aanally
arrived, hut he is on his passaie,. with, we believe,
Ole whole of his P'orce, and may be hourly expe6ted.

tion from Cork, under' Sir ARTHUR

THE following Letter did not appear in the whole
of our Impression yesterday, we therefore 'repeat it :
mt Admiralty-Office, jtilT 8.
" Dispatches have been received at the' Ad-
miralty tips mottling troril Vice Admiral LOrd

OLLt N G SA; Q D dated
.off' Cadiz, June 12th:—

the'Bpaniards had' summoned the French Admiral
ROSOLIE, and, 'on his refusal, the Spanish Bat-
teries 'had' opened a fire on the French
in. the Carracis, on the lOth 'of June,' in the

afternoon, and had continued; at intervals; Juan

the following' -day. On the .12th of June
- the French 'Admiral. had offered lorms of capi-
tulation;which had been rejealed od the part of 'the
Spanish- Commander; who.refaed to advOit of any
, oonditiOn short of absolute surrender:

' " The 4ritish Fleet had not entered the Harbour;
the. Spania.rcis deeriling"their owp force safficieht tor
the reduction 'of ,the French. • • •

" I have the honour to be; gm.

" -AlutoßAvz."

" To t 17.1 Right Hon. Me Lord Illayor."

The style and general 'composition of all the Spa-
nish Manifestoes she* that the Patrlots'have'a6e
heads as well as resolutatearts anion them, and
we trust that they will be found to have strong
bands;. if not capable of pulling down' the ferocious
Tyrant, yet sufficient to oppose 'an impregnable
barrier against all his attempts to enslave them.—
But whit renders these documents chiefly interest-
ing is; the bold.determined mannet in which they
express their Sense of the turpitude of f3LIONArARiA:S
charaaer and condua. Considering the dread which
name; ' backed by -his formidable power,' his
known subtlety, and want or every feeling of hu.
inaetity, 'l4i excited in all other Continent.al States',,
the Spnish' charaaer appears' to the highest advan.
tage, :and the Patriots must be convinced' that their
forte is great, .and. 'their ultimate 'triurriph highly
ir:obable. But the Corsican has some reason to fear 4

et •,

that the cause in which be has at present embarked
may riot be
_so acceptable to his owntrooN as the
former.enterprizes hi which he has Involved them.
They have hitherto been told that they weretight-
ing against Potentates who were inimical to iheir
own Country, and it has been epon many oc-
casions the policy of the Tyrant to make a
distintlion , between those P.otentates and their
subjeas, the latter of whom he has affeeied to
pity, for having been dragged into battles for ob-
.
, I
,lefts in which ,they had no concern, but merely to
gratify the ambition or selfish interests of their
Bulers. But nolV this artful distinEtion will •not
avail him, or rather may be powerfuly turned against
.himself, With respect to Spain, for he has put it
wholly out of the pOwer'orthe legitimate Sovereign
,9f Spain to have any iofluenccovey his subjects, and
'BUONAPARTE comes forward in the-odious light of
an ambitious Despot, wbo is the enemy of the
rights and independence of a People who have
never offended him, and who are only employed
in the glorious assertion of their own liberties. We
therefore hope, that though the Spanish Patriots
.have declared War against Ahe FrenCh Nation, as
well as its Tyrant, that they will retort that Ty-
cant's own arts, and distinguish between au insatia-
ble Conqueror, who forces the French people into
the horrid attempt to enslave a Country, merely for
the purpose of having more Crowned Heads in his
Upstart Family—a Country that, if it should suc-
ceed, as all mankind must wish, in defeating the
Tyrant, will most readily lend its arm to assist
France in her endeavours to rid itself of its Op-
pressor.

A. Letter addressed by Mr. WHITBREAD to Lord
HOLLAND, has recently made its appearance insome
of the public prints, and as the writer holds a re-
spe6lable rank in society, whatever may be his poli-
tical prejudices, it is entitled to our notice. We ex-
pressed our regret a day or_two ago that .N173.31444T-
8R11AD should have lessened his reputation, and even
exposed himself to the censure of his friends, by the
sentiments he delivered on the last day of Parliament;
bill we little conceived that, to use his pwp words,
he could have appeared so "chimerical and absurd"
as to write, and still worse to publish, the letter
alluded to. Being upon such an intimate footing
With Lord HOLLAND, it weuld seem rather extraor-
dinary that Mr. WHITBREAD should have thought
it necessary to write a formal letter to the Noble
Lord upon a subje& whiCh might full as well have
been the subjea "of a private Conversation ; indeed
much better, for there is nothing in the opinions of
Mr. WHITBREAD 'which have the least claim to pub-
lic attention, except one of those opinions in which
he appears More " chimerical and absurd" than we
ghould have expeaed the weakest of his Party to
have been. We shall first notice that opinion,
and probably make short work of the rest of hi's
very " chimerical and absurd"' Letter. Adverting
to Spain, Mr. WHITBREAD says, that the news which
has arrived from that quarter is "as cheering to the
heart of trian as ever was announced to'an admiring
*ode And why ? " Because," he_says, " every
pact.Ofspain,'not absolutely occupied by the. French
troops, has separately, and without any poisibility
of previous concert, and yet, as if by common con-
sent, declared itselfagainst the INJUSTICE, CRUELTY,
and oppßEssiots; of the French Emperor, and iso.i7
the Prince of Asturias; under the title of .F.E•itONAND
VII." We assent, with pride, to this statement of the
uniform:sentiments of the heroic and patriotic Span.
iards, because we were the first to commuincate the
interesling and important tidings to the Public., Well
Chen, by the acknowledgment of Mr. WHITBREAD,
the Unurper, whom he styles the French Emperor', is
condu&ing hiinself with injustice, cruelty,' and op-
pression, towards a people Who have'been at peace
With hint for some years--ovho have been obliged to
'bow to all his caprices, all his commands, all his
taEtiOns',. add all his tyrannies, and whose suve.
. .
reign, to whose passive will they 'paid this tribute Of
disgraceful ''snhrnission;. he has artfully ensnared,
and, probably, Means to destroy, as lib did' the
Duke D'ENGHEIN, Such k BIJONAPARTE'SCORdat
towards a People wh'o, far from aving given hid}
any provocation, have been rendered anbsei-vietti to
all his views on their weak and credulous Monarch;
and who ate now nobly struggling against his en-
deavonts to' enslave thetivanci to impose uPOri a Na-
tion renowned for its aetivity, its honour, its pa-
triOtisrp, ' and its high heroic character, a IoW-born
Minion in'.the room of its legitimate race of Kings'.
Now for the opinion, • to deliver which to the world
, .
must have been the main, if not the sole, objet of
his " chimerical a4d absurd" Letter. After having
ihos characterized the condom of BUONAPARTE, MT.
WHITBREAD has thesKarclifinod, or pure sin-The-4,
to 4ay, that he, still adheres to the opinions he laid
fjn'the 29th of February last, when he moved
a's a'ResOlut ion in the HouseOf Common," that-there
is nothing in the present state of th;ngs which ought
topreclude His fyiAJESTY froth embracinganyjair op..
portunity Ofacceding'ta,or commencing, a Negotiati-ota
with the Enemy, on'a footing of equality, for the ter-

mind* of•hos;tilities, on .terms of equality and ,ho-
pour." Is it ,possible that a tna.p who is capat-Je of
reading and Writing could thus have committed him-
-9f mankind ) WnITIIREAt)
self in ;the eyes
seers', indeed, to have an understanding not capa
ble of being enlightened by experience of the grossest
kind. What, after taxing BUONAPARTE, and just-
)y, with *1 injustice, cruelty, and oppression,"
which " injustice, cruelty, acid 'oppression," gentle
Reader, this sanguinary Tyrant-is still carrying
on against the patriotic Spaniards, whose cause_
is so interesting to all mankind, and whose progress
against tyranny is " as cheering to the heart of man
as ever was announced to an admiring world"; is it
possible that Mr. Wkly,r,sptkro can be of the same
opinion as in February last, and think that While
BpONAPARTE is in. the at of attempting to
re-
duce a generous people to bondage, that this
moment presents " a fair opporitinity," not
onjy fp.: assenting to, but aaually for " com-
mencing, a Negotiation" with. such. a man, and
even for indulging a hope for the termination of
hostilities, on terms of equality and honour."--"ph,
'that mine Enemy bad Published a book_!" Mr.
WH,ITiIiELD'S greatest enemy could hardly have de-
sired more than that he' should have brought ridicule
and contempt upon his charader by this very
" chimerical and absurd" Letter. Ent this is not
the whole of the " chimerical and absurd" opinions
and declarations of Mr. WHITBREAD, for he says,
" the whole undivided heart of Great Britain
• and Ireland, nay of France itself,; and of the
world, must• be with Spain.!" And be exclairns,
" Would to God, the whole undivided strength. of
the world could he combined at this moment against
the armies of her oppressor, in Spain." Yet with
all this•simple piety, he'can see at this very moment,
when he is anxious for the colledive vengeance of
mankind to fall on the oppressor, afair opportunity
for assenting to, or even " commencing, a igegotia-
tion,".. nay, of the possibility of terminating hosti-
lities, upon terms of equality and honour'." Mere,
for the present, we may safely' leave Mr. WHIT/-
BREAb and his Letter to the surprise and the pity of
Our Readers, for sentiments of .a more indignant
kind seem hardly applicable to one so " chimeri6l
and absurd," and who is so very weak as to deliver
such glaring folly to the world at large.

It has been erroneously stated, that Cienernl Du-
