L 0 IV,
TUESDAY, NOVEIIt.I3-j,' 1808.

LAST night we received Dutch Papers to the 21st
tilt. which contain, news from Paris to the 17th.
We 'did not expect to receive any distira infortha-
;ion respeaing the objet is of the conferences at

Erfurth, but there appears strong reason to believe

• 'that, BUONAPARTE is alarmed at the situation in
which his ambition and perfdy have placed him,
and that he is resolved far, the.present to conciliate

those whom he has Ilithertvi treated- with .the most

ncelenting- cruelty.. IfpoiC this principle alone
can we account for the sudden alteration in his
conducl to the KING Of PRUSSIA. It is stated
diat the QuEr.N. of PRUSSIA had written a Let-

ter to ALEXANDER, to •request his mediation with
BOOOAiARTE, and that the Letter was answer-
ed by BqONAPARTE, who soured Her Majesty
lfr.t the arrears of -Contributions laid upon the

l'russian Status, amounting to an enormous sum,

should be remitted, and the French Troops with-
'draWo from the Prussian Fortresses. These con-
cesssions we are convinced he would not have made
in consequence of the entreaties of a Princess•whom

he formerly treated with brutal . ii suit ; nor do We
betteve evell the interpoiition'of ALEXANDER could
have produced such an alteration in his system,
if the Usurper was not apprehensive the. storm
which has b,irst upon hinr:With such unexpe6ted
fury in the South of ,-Europe, might extend
to the North. This apprehension has
deterred him from pouring his armies into
Spam but he now, hopes, by a little concession and
.conciliation, to lull the Continental Powers into

tranquillity, while he pursues his designs against the
Spaniards; ?nd after what we have seen of Conti-
nental P014i;...5, we should not be surprised to see'
his artifice, coarse as it is, succeed.

WE shall persevere in tlibliinciple which we first
adopted respeCiing the Cortviention of Cintra, in not
condemning that measure, tv its authors, but wait-
ing the resujt of that investigation. which has been
promised by His MAJESTY, and which we know
that Ministers are zealous to carry into effect, in the
.manner best calculated to promote the ends of jus-
4ice, and satisfy the expe&ation of the Nation, what-
ever falsehoods faEtious men may circUia e, and

whatever suspicions they may labour 'to excite. But
_while we shall patiently and confidently await the
result of Inquiry,
_we cannot help noticing 'the gross
'and shameless inconsistency of the Opposition Wri-
ters. .At first they poured all their venom upon the
Authors of the Convention, without knowing,any
thing of the reasons upon which it was founded, and
consequently whether it was politic or otherwise.
But as if wholly forgetful,Of all their former attacks
upon the British Coninianle-rs concerned in the.
Convention, those Writers ktovr say, with equal
:ignorance and equal audacity, that those Command-
ers are not to blame, but that the fault is .wholly
imputable. to Ministers What, can be thought of

SARAGOSSA, OCT. 6.

MANIFESTO TO THE INHABITANTS oy SARAGOSSA.

" The heroic defence of Saragossa, which has
been made by the magnanimous inhabitants of that
city and its'vicinity, is -the objea .of adin- iration to
all parties, and will be so to future ages. The con-
stancy, inflexibility, and calmness with which they
resisted the incessant assault of an enemy who every
day attacked, and every day was conquered, skew
that their hearts, animated by the most noble senti;
ments, evince that those virtues which best secure
the independence of a people, are not lost to Spain,
and at the same time teach us what may be clone by
a people determined to be free. I have been a con-
stant witness, and have ever seen them as great in
their resolves as noble in their deeds. The hap-
piest of my days will be that in which I shall
inform my beloved King FERDINAND VII. what
they deServe for their fidelity, their valour, their,
loyalty, .and the ardent. affe&ion with which they
adore him. But till that day arrives, what they
• have done shall not remain without a distinguished
mark to perpetuate its memory. Wherefore, re-
-serving to myself td, distribute particular rewards to
such individuals as may have merited them, by
eminent services, as soon a3I shall have received ac-
counts sufficiently accurate to enable me to make a
just distribution, I have resolved to grant,. as I do
grant, in the name of our august Sovereign and
• Lord Don FERDINAND VII. to all the inhabitants of
the vicinity of the citynnd its distrias, that they now
and hereafter shall always
,enjoy the privilege never
to be adjudged by any Tribunal, in any case except
for treason or blasphemy, to any disgraceful punish-
ment, which privilege shall be perpetual, irrevocable,
and peculiar to all the Citizens of whatever
class, sex, age, and condition they •may- be, without
any person offering to contradia or a& contrary to
its tenor; but on the contrary, all shall be care-
ful punctually to fulfil and execute it, for which end
an Edia shall be passed authorised by the Royal Au-
dience,' and transmitted to the Hall of .lustice, and
the Magistracy of the City ; and that it may be
known to all, it shall be published on the
vigil of the City's most. sacred proteaor, our Lady
of Pilar, by proclamation, with trumpets, &c.
in the accustomed form, and shall be fixed up in
the public places and circulated besides in all the
cities, towns, and villages of the kingdom, that to
all may be known the just reward of the valour,
fidelity, and constancy of this capital, which has
given tne the most heart-felt pleasure.

ARAN JUEZ, OCT. 13.—Among the important and
urgent objets which claim the attention of the Su-
preme Central Junta of the Kingdom, it will not
'
lose sight of the encouragement which -should-be
given to agriculture, the arts, commerce, and naviga-'
tion, the maw Springs of natonal wealth. They
will, with this View,' avail themselves of all the
means which existing circumstances may atford. At-
tending to the invariable principles of ju,tice and
equity, they will -not disregard the obligations
contra&ed by. the
.CroWn, and which form the pa-

trimony of a considerable number of familiei. They
will take care. that the allowances to widows, pen-
sions, annuities, the interest of the vales, and other
demands of a similar nature, shall be paid with due
punauality, notwithstanding the immense funds ne-
cessary for subsisting, arming, -and cloathing the
troops. They will take- an exa6t account of the
debt, and the produce of the annual revenues;
catc::lly attend to the distribution
branches
them ; esta-
blish complete economy in all the branches of finan-
cial administration ; radically remove all the abuses
introduced therein by the old Government ; and suc-
cessively suppress the innumerable useless or unne-
cessary offices ; simplifying, as far as possible, the
revenne system, and placing it under the dire6tion
of men distinguished for zeal, activity,, and pa-
triotism.

The retrenchments effe6led in the enormous ex-
pe'nces of the Royal Household, and those to which
the nation was put by the ambitious favourite, the
cause of all the evils we, are now suffering, will
considerably 'diminish the imposts on , the towns
,and villages, and the toil of their worthy inha-
bitants. They will be appropriated to the main-
tenance of our heroic defenders, instead of support-
ing the pride and corruption of GODOI and his sa-
tellites. The sale of the property of all those who
have leagued themselves with the corrmion enemy,
and those whose prior condual has justly incurred
the same confiscation, will considerably augment
the revenues of the State ; and the Supreme Junta,
as a proof of the purity of its sentiments, will an-
nually publish a printed statements containing the

sum total of the funds accruing from the revenues,

donative, and contributions of. Spain and the In-
-1 dies, with the repartition thereof, providing for the

equal and impartial colleCtion of the imposts.
Tltc Junta solemnly recognizes the national debt,

and notifies, that as to all credits and accounts itf:th
the Royal Hacienda, yet unliquidated, or though
quidated, still susceptible of further correetiOn, it
will proceed to eptnine and correct them previous to
tleir being allowed and passed and for the infor-
mation and dire Lion of the Public, the Junta ha

ordered these pieSents to be communicated to the
Council, and circulated in every part of the nation.

CORUNNA, OCT. 25.—The disembarkation of the
English troops has commenced, and " will continue
daily, to the amount of 3000 men. These will
pro?:eed on
,their march direEtly, and will be fol-
lowed 'by others, when they are sufficiently ad-
vanced. Not more than a battalion' can proceed at
a time, on account of the want of accommodations
on the road :, The whole will meet at Burgos, where
they will juin general MOORS, who is adyancing
hither from Portugal, with about 15,000 tnpn more.

and 3ist Regiments. Their destination is said to
be Lisbon. Mr. FliEßE'and suite lac this place yes-
terday morning for Madrid. On the 14th instant,
which was F4RDINAND'S birth-day, the mob at
Madrid broke the windows of Baron STROGONOIT,
the Russian Ambassador; in consequence of which
he has demanded his passports; but it was not ex-
pected he would quit the city. The Junta proposed
sonic satisfaction for the insults. No news, from
General BLAKE.

concentrated here, and a battle is daily expected.—

1000 cavalry. CASTANOS is in front of Vittoria.

SARAGOSSA, OCT. s.—The Governor and'Cap'tain
General of the Kingdom taking into consideration
the desire expressed by his -Excellency CHARLES
WILLIAM DOYLE, Major in his British. Majesty's
service, to be employed in the army of Arragon, and
to take part in the glorious efforts made by the na-.
tion in defence of its independence ; and being
anxious to demonstrate the high estimation in Which
he holds the qualities -which adorn this Gentleman,
and the noble and generous intentions of the British
Government, he transmitted to him a Commission
as Field Marshal. He has acknowledged the receipt
of this appointment in the following' terms :

" The honour which your Excellency has con-
ferred upon me by the appointment of Field Mar-
shal excites my particular gratitude. It is highly
flattering to the best feelings of my-heart.
" To ,have the satisfaciion of being one among
the soldiers of the Army of Arragon is, doubtless,
very grateful to my feelings; and I trust that I shali,
be enabled to afford a proof that lam not altogether
unworthy of so high an honour.
' • " I must confess that so honoural?le a distina ion
is the more gratifying to me, inasmuch as it proves,
that my anxious zeal ,and exertions in the common
and glorious cause in which we are all engaged have
been well received, and that they have merited the
approbation of your Excellency. I assure you that
I shall continue my most assiduous exertions, and en-
deavour to prove that this high mark of distinaion
has not been conferred upon a person undeserving of
, .
it, and certainly not upon one insensiMe to the ho-
nour which has been bestowed upon him. Your
Excellency will be pleased .to indulge_ me in my 're7,
quest, that 'the pay and emoluments attached to my.
rank of Field Marshal should be appropriated to the
relief of those wino have suffered so much at Sara-
gossa, from the repeated attacks of the enemy.

" I have the honotir to place,thyself under your
Excellency's orders, and am, &c,

" Madrid, Sepi. 29, 1808."

A Mail from Lisbon arrived yesterday, the first.
which has been received from thence for near a
twelvemonth. The Papers received by this convey-
ance contain no material intelligence, but the private
letters confirm our former accounts of the departure
of Sir JOHN MOORE and his army for Spain, and
add, that a division of the British army was to be
embarked for the Mediterranean, in order to be
landed in Catalonia, The people of Lisbon con-
tinued their rejoicings in consequence of-the' de-:
parture of the French troops. On the I ult. the
British Officers gave a most splendid entertainment
to the Nobility and principal Merchants resident id
Lisbon. The Opera House was engaged and brit=
liantly illuminated and decorated on the occasion.
It is stated 'in thdlast advices from the West In-
dies, that an Expedition is forming for the purpose
of proceeding against the Islands of Guadaloupe and
Martinique. both of which are supposed to be so
much distressed for provisions, &c. that the inhabi-
tants would gladly embrace an opportunity to place
themselves under the ppoteaion of the British Go-
vernment. The Ponpie and Neptune Men of War,
which sailed some time ago from Plymouth, it is
knowp, were destined to take part in the Exredi-
tion. The former ship passed Madeip on the 26jh
ult. in her passage to the West Indies, and the latter
on the.3oth.

On Sunday morning the Consecration of Dr.
MADMLL, (Master of Trinity College; Cambridge,)
