ment which they appear toe ready to censure, that
Ministers have exerted themselves with all'possible
zeal on the occasion, and that not a moment has
been lost in preparation to give the aid of this Coun-
try in support of the Patriotic Spanish Arany. Mi-
nisters know, in fat, that, by-assisting Spain against
the common Enemy of mankind, they are fighting
the battles of this Country, and therefore policy and
interest, as well as every laudable impulse of gene-
rous sympathy, will urge them to. persevere in lend-
ing all practicable support to such a glorious enter.
prize.

No further official accounts have reachejltown
from Spain, but vve understand that a respe6able
Merchant in the City has received a Letter from
that Country, which states, that the Patriots, to the
amount of 60,000, had advanced to Madrid, for the
purpose of expelling the French from that city—that
MURAT had advanced to give them battle, and that
after a most obstinate aetion he was defeated, and
compelled to retreat and take a position near Retiero,
a royal palace, about eighteen miles from .ladrid,
*here he was entrenching himself, and waiting for
reinforcements. We have nut seen tiiis Letter, nor
do we know by what conveyance it came; we have,
therefore, no means of deciding upon the degree of
credit to which it is entitled.

LarrEas have been received from Oporto, dated
the. t sth inst. which state, that the Division of the
French Army, under the commend of General Du-
PONT, which had commenced its march from Ma-
drid, received orders to halt when it, had advanced as
far 'as Famblique,- and that they had returned t 6
Madrid in consequence of the formidable appearance
of -the Insurre6tion in the Northern Provinces. We'
also learn with.. satisfataion, that a body of i too
French Troops whiCh had advanced- to Zamora had
laid down their arms, and surrendered themselves
Prisoners of War to the Patriots.

The Accounts which were yesterday received from
Heligoland state, that a ,very considerable degree of
ferment pievailed aiming the Spanish Troops in'

ly left Heligoland for Vienna.

Extra& of a Letter from Corunna, June 21 :
You, np doubt, have been informed of the
treachery of NAPOLEON ; but this generous uaticon,
inflamed with a spirit of loyalty to theirlegitimate
King, and an ardent love of their religion, is,deter-
mined to assert its sights; and is actually rising en
masse to avenge its injured honour. We reckon
that 300,001) men are already raised in the various
armies, well appointed, and commanded by our best.
Generals. Within two months, we shall have above
400,000 soldiers in arm ; for there is only one voice
and one wi,h throughout- the country; and'all fly
with alacrity to its service., Nothing Can arrest our
progresS,bat the want
.of money.

`‘• It will be a Most fortunate circumstance if the
British Government should assist us by making a di-
version in the North, and contributing these supplies
in money and 'arms of which we stand in need.
Within the space of eight days, Galicia has orga-
nized a formidable force of 45,009 men. I include
in this riumber 20„000 veteran troops, which were
divided bet Ween these pla,ces, Ferrol, and, Oporto,,
and which have pow formed a junction in'Lugo and
O.rt ,se, with a powerful train or artillery. -Two di-
visions of these troops, consisting of. 11,060. num
each, are. in full march towards Castile, and the:
'n?aitider will fo)lbw immediately. 'We' are employed
in formjng another army of 40,000 men to defend
our frontier tovirards Castile, already so difficult of
access by the rhountains which' separate us.
In Madrid ana its vicinity, the French have
about '40,000 men,,anci at Burgos and its neighbour-
hood :o,oop more; but pressed on all sides by large
armies, they will have the choice only of perishing
surrendering..or Our most ardent wish it, to free
the capital from the authority of The French, so that
our Government may TehliMe its fund ions, ar.d treat
formally for Peace with. Ettgland.' For the present
axe 'Supreme Court of Galicia has .entered into a
negotiation with the Commodore on this
station'for an exchange of'prisoners, on condition
that he shall not Molest our Outing 'trade. Ny that
channel you will receive this ;0-er, and by the same;
Means we shall have *constant correspondence; or,
by the Fleet on the coast of Asturias, which has
2410 opened a direct communication With- your
country." ' '
