Nointelligence from Spain or Tortuga] had reached
Town when this Paper was put to Press; but as the
wind is favourable, we think many hours cannot
elapse before some accounts are received.

CQLONEL MURRAy arrived this morning at Lord
CASTLEREAGLI'S °dice, with Dispatches from Sir
JOHN MOOR E, but the substance of them has not
transpired.

WE have the pleasure to_issure our Readers, that
the utmost activity pervades every department of
Government in promoting every possible means to
• assist the Spanish Patriots. The Troops destined to
etnbark.in this. glorious enterprise are moving to-
wards Portsmouth and Plymouth from various quar-
ters, and the embarkation, as we yes,terday stated,
had-begun three days ago at both plaees, and was
proceeding with great spirit and the utmost regula-
rity. A.niong the other wise and laudable measures
of Government, the release a the Spanish prisoners,
and the intention to send them in aid of their patrio-
tie countrymen, is nut the least interesting, and nay
be attended with the best etleas. The manner in
which this generous measure has been received by
the Spanish Prisoners themselves is highly gratifying,
pleasing emotions in every
and must excite the. most
humane and liberal mind. About twelve hundred
• of these men, previous to their embarkation on Mon-
day last, at l'ortsmouth, were indulged with the li-
berty of walking through the town. It is impossible
to describe the rapture with which they received the
proposal of being conveyed to their country on
dition' of their engaging to asst.-0' ih the glorious cone-
n-
deavour to preserve its independence. They manifest-
ed.the most ardent attachment to the cause of their
Country, and the strongest sense of gratitude to the
English Nation for the noble zeal with which it
espou.sed that cause. These men went through all
parts of l'ortsmonth, testifying these sentiments with
shouts of joy, and almost incessant exclamations of
" Good En4land!—kind, generods
n!"
during the whole of their progress. Thrty were pre-
ceded by bands of music, and their rapturous and
grateful exclamations not only .produced bursts of
sympathy from all the spectators, but the most
tender emotions of hope and pleasure. The same
joyous events took place at Plymouth .also; where
about 10,00. have already embarked. When they
were colleaed on Thursday last, and the letter from
Government was lead to theni, offering to them a
Conveyance to their country, on the same condition,
and desiring those wit() were to embrace the
• pi'oposal to tutu to the right, they all sprung with
plea'sure in that Ara:lion, shouting, with fervent
zeal, " Long live the British Ting bless
the _English and the Spanish Patriots." In truth,
the scene 'was *Li animating and atlealing in the
highest degree, and mar be considered as one of
the proud effects of those glorious principles of
action which have 'so long distinguished the people
of. this Country, and which, we trust, will always
pre-eminently mark the national charaaer till the
end of time.

It is %% itn sincere pleasure w 9 add,, that &1 the
Spanish Prisoners have been provided with shoei
and other necessaries, and have also had money given
to them, and s hat 10,000 fegifeefital shits have.' al_
