TM PORTANTINTELLIGENCE FROZ4 SPAIN.

!r is with the most sincere satisfa&ion that we

acquaint our Readers that. intelligence of the tnost

important and gratifying nature was yesterday re-
ceived at the Admiralty from Spain. His Majesty's
Ship Alcmene, Capt. TREIHLETT, which arrived at
Plymouth on Friday, brought from Corunna two

Spanish •Nohles, Deputies frOm the Province of
Galicia. Captain TIZEMLETT went on shore at Co-

runny with a Flag of Truce, and was received with

the mctt distinguished politeness, and was invited to
attend the sitting of the Committee, by which the
Government is at present conduaed. He was in-

formed that the States of Gallicia were determined

to join the rest of their countrymen in resisting the

unprincipled and treacherous invasion of their Com-

cry by the French ; and bit% opinion was asked, whe-

nicatiou which the States wished to open with Greitt
Britain should'be by letter or by deputation, He
recommended the latter mode, iu consequenco
of
which two -Noblemen were -seletied for that

purpose, who, as we have already mentioned, nra
rived in Town yesterday. They stater tI at that
Port, as welt as Ferrol,. were completely in pos.,
session of the Patriots, and that the Troops of the
Line and the Levy ere, Masse. had marched to join
the Patriotic Army, which was computed to arnouat
to, between 300,000 and 350,000 men, of which
about 30,000 were Troops of the Line. The first

operation which they intended to undertake was tr,

that the Patriotic Army, 'which is in full marcli for

Oviedo Gazette of the 3 I til instant, which c°ll‘
tains a most important piece of intelligence. It
states, that an action had taken
place off Cartbr

the Fleet of Lord COLLINGWOOD, and a Frenc4
Squadron of two Sad of the Llnc and several
gates, w.hiCh vviv conveying a number of Tra''s'
ports, with 8000 Troops on bOard. The acli°3
took place on the 24th of May, and the
whole of
the French Squadron, including the Traniporis, "era
either captured or destroyed. The same Gazette ass
states, that a French Snip, laden with stores, am'
munition and money, had put into Carthogepa,
the eiith-ultinne, on the supposition that the FPI
was in possession Q 1 the Fret;Lii, and was ilt;fl'e'
diateiy captured by the Patriots. IntelUgence 11.41

It is possible that the above account may not be
circumstantially correct, but there is strong reason
to
,believe, that, with regard to the main fail, it is

accurate. The possession of the Ports of Spain is

of so much importance to the French, that it is

natural to suppose that they wo;:ld run almost any
risk to accotupliih that ohje&.

THE Answer which was stated in the French
Papers to have been sent from the Governor of
Cadiz to Admiral Nay's, is-a fabrication. We are
enabled to state positively, that.nti such Letter was
sent to the British Admiral.

Government, we are happy to say, have received
'official intelligence that Sir Elm. tt D PE.I, LEW'S
pedition has been completely successful. He his

taken, sunk, burnt, and otherwise destroyed, every

Dutch armed Vessel on the Coast of Java, and in-
deed in the- whole of the Eastern Seas. Three of

the Ships were of the Line, na►uely, the Revolutie,
the Pluto, and the Kortnuar, all of which he burnt
in the harbour of Grissie, the Dutch Commodore
having previously scuttled them. .

Three Gottenburgh Mails arrived yesterday ;
their contents are given in a pre:ceding column.

At a late hour last night we received Foreign Pa-
pers to the 23d inst. which contain intelligence of a
most important nature. BUONAPARTE ha's., as we

'expeeted;created his Brother JOSEPH King of Spain,
and in tlrat 'chariOer.the tatter received the 'congra-
tulatory address of the Spanish Nobles and others
who have. been seduced to Bayonne, and who are
'Compelled to assume the charaabr of Deputies of the
Spanish.' Nation. Though we cannot think very
favourably either of the untlerStanding or integrity
of those Spanish Noblemen and Bishops who obeyed
BoosArAaTs's summons to attend him at Bayonne,
yet we have too high an opinion of the Spanish charac-
ter to suppose that they could have been the authors of .
the Address whiCh. they presented to kinglosargii
in which, while they are betraying their Country,
And sacrificing its independence to a foreign Usurper,
they are made. to boast of their fidelity to their
tinnier Sovereign ! Of such an 'excels of degrada-
tion no'Spanish Nobleman, we are convinced, could
be voluntarily guilty. BUONAPARTII has now passed
the Rubicon : he has no retreat : he has given his
*other the Kingdom of Spain : it remains for him
to conquer task to which we. entertain the

most sanguine hopes he will fiend himself unequal : if
be were to succeed, then would the emphatic words
of Louts XlVth, to his grandson, when he went t 9
assume the Crown of Spain, be realized, and the
Prennees indeed, be no more. We have
reason to believe, from some private information
Which we have received from the Continent,
that Louts BUONAPARTE is succeed his brother
Jossra ,as King of Naples. The anxiety which
Lows shewed, in many instances, to soften the ar-
bitrary and ferocious Decrees of BUONAPARTE, and
to alleviate, in sonie degree, the sufferings 'of the
unfortunate people over whom he was appointed to
reign; is supposed, in Holland, to be the Cause of his

removal, and their regret for his loss is increased by
the report, which Is very generally believed, that
Holland, or at least the greater part of it, is to be
annexed to France.

The great press of important intelligence prevents
us from offering, at present, any further comments
upon these Papers; we must, therefore, refer our
Aeaders to the extraels which we have made- front
them, which will be found in our preceding co-

Parliament, it is expeCted, will be prorogued on
rdclay nest, it no unexpe&ed circumstances should
arise.

TUE FOLLOWING ARTICLE IS EXTRACTED FROM AN

IRISII PAPER.
REVOLUTION IN LISBON. .
Extrad of a Letter from an Officer on board the Hibernia,
offifte Tagus, dated May 2z, to his Father, in Dublin.

U There is a general Revolution in Lisbon, in
consequence of which Sir CitARLSS COTTON is pre-
paring to enter the Tagus, and attack the Russian
Irleet. We haie got our' Pilots on board, so you
way expea great news in a few days."

We received this morning the/Vew York Gazette,
of the gad ult, but it adds very little to the intelli-

•
gence which has already reached 'US. The follow-
ing are the Only articles Which appear to us worth
extracting •
AMERICAN SEAMEN..
POkTLAkD, MAY 16.—A Gentleman from St.
Andrews (New Brunswick), who left that place
about ten days since, informs, iltat in the course of
the week before he left there, upwards of 200 Ame-
rican Seamen arrived at that place in quest of ern-
ployment, and that they shipped for ten dollars per
month. Thus it. is the policy of Mr. JEFFERSON that
drives our neglected mariners into a foreign land to
procure a living. But the evil will not end here--it
will afford a subj
ed for altercation with other Go-
vernments ; and whenever the Embargo is taken
off, If this is ever to be the case, our Merchants will
not be able to obtain Sailors to man one half their
Vessels at any price.
