SPAIN.

The firstAurnbers of the 'Madrid Gazette pub..
lished sifettOthe.ievaceation of the city, are filled
with artiCle-IrOitied or digested from the various
provineialeSpaniSli Gazettes which have spceng-up
since the revolution. Most 'of the information con,
tained lo.theSe articles is already known iteEngland.
In the SUpplement to the Gazette of the t tith. of
August.is a long history of the military transat!',tions
in Catalonia. Though
:we are acquainted with the
prorninent incidents, yet our information has been
so disjointed and. interrupted, that the following
abridgment of the narrative- will probably be very.
acceptable.
The Catalonians were roused from the torpor in
Which they; as, well as the other provinces of Span,
were sunk,, by' the t. reed renunciation, Yittni-
NANO VII. At that period a large French army was
in -the province, and the inhabitants were destitute of
artillery, arms, and regular troops; but they- were sti•
mulated to insurrection by t he example of Arragon,
Valencia, Murcia, and Andalusia, The
,Caetal (Bar
celoteo . being possessed by t:e.t enenys,on the first ,
days of Juhe, a number 'of -the towns resi,lved to
elect. .Vlutricipai Junta: for the defence of their im-
• mediate districts, aid fer the purpose
.of acting in
concert. This took. pl ice in, Lerida, Tairaeona,
Irtosa, Gerona, Maeresa„ \rich, LTrgei, neueres,
&c. and they beeran by puelisning addresses to the.
people en the 'l-e.achery pra.disee by .a:7O:lAt'A RTE.
The cll4-.f'cicatese, was instantaneous and decisive.-
At tee s.-Ine time tee Junta dTarravna sent a De-
puty to Valencia, and. that of .Le ide atlotner to Sa-
ragossa; attic packet-boats .were dispatched to the.
English vessels creizing off the east to give intelli-
geeee of the,revoleeen, and negriate. an areestice,
w,ith Great Britain ; and a cesirr-a Vote we.,
at Lerida, These were the preliminery
,measures of
internal organization and diplomacy.
The firstesteps.taken by tise,Junta at, Lerida, were
to proclairialEtrtAlNAND the 7th, ankt decree tee tor-
nertiou of an arjoy of 40,000 men, to be di: ided,
into 40 DattationS, and companies of too mete As
, soon as the French were inforeled,otetins, they. de-
tackled forces to different parts from Barcelona. tioo
division was seat to Manresa, winch had refused tg
transmit Sotnepewder required by Genera! ESM E.
The people of Menresa, though ahuost without any
troops of the line, were impatient to meet' the
enemy, and advepc,e,d five leagues to Brach, where
the mountains-served for fortresses. -They nride use
of a .sort of rustic cannon, by hollowing out mite
trunks of trees, and, in haste dug a ditch in the high
road, which was covered with bushes. The French
catne up on the 6th of June, and were pot tonight.
A nu!uber of cavalry precipitated them Selves into,
the fosse, and the Catalonians cut oil many by firing
from behind thickets, and-the enemy could not pur-
sue them into the, mountains. At last the Frerich
were forced to leave behind them their cannon, eight
pieces. " Ye. Invincibles," says the Madrid Narra-
tive, " of Marengo, Austerlitz, Jena, and Friedlaud,
whit is becorrie of your valour, so loudly vaunted in
the bulletins of yOur armies of Italy, Austria, Prus-
sia, and. Poland ? Where is that mighty intrepidity
which always vanquished your enemies ri,e instant,
it, was displayed in the field of battle) Learn from
hence io respect a people whose energies are roused
to chastise the traitors who ettemeted perfidiously, to
rob them of their religion, their,coutitrye and their
.Sovereign,.' Be assured their vengeance will be ter-
rible.?

Another division of 3700 infantry, and (300 ca.,
valrv, marched to Tarragona'under General SABRAN.
The place being defenceless, they entered Jr on
the 7th of June,. the Goverinor going out to meet'
them.. The .following day SABRAN det3ellcd 2000
Men towards Valencia ; but the peasants blocked up,.
the roads, and they were forced to return. 'On the
9to they set out fir Barcelona, ater having corn:
-tnitiud.,b9ccidexcesscs; but their progress being im-
peded .by, flAgeasants, they' resolved to return to.
Tarragana...On.this, the citizens flew warms, to de-
fend their city from a second visitation. The French
set fire to church and
,some•villages, which only
enflamed the fury of the people. Tne light troops of
_the neighbourhood collet'.,ted themselves, a bridge ~vas
broken, and at last nearly the whole of the division
killed or taken prisoners. A peasant of Valles had
the honour pl. shontingGeneral SAER4.N. •
In the mean while the Catalonians seized the

portant pe,ition ot Rosas, and., blockaded the Castle
of St: Fernando, occupied by the French. Others
marched to, the frontier to intercept reinforcements;
and actually seized great quantities 0; provisions
destined for.the Castle of St. Fernando.
But it Was against Gerona that the enemy mani-
fested all his rage. On the 17th of June,' the Ge-
neral in Chief. DLILIESTqE, 'and the Generals, of Divi-
sion Lecnt and Son W#HTS, marched tiotn Batcelona,
web the French army, consisting of seven hattalli)ris
ot infantry and five squadons of cavalry, with a
train of eight pieces of artillery; and having forced.
the weak entrenchments before the Castle of Mvh-

wile are now kept under by trench despotism,:
were as much at liberty to express their feeling ant
opinions as the Spaniards and PortUguese, that they
would as strongly manifest their detistation of their.:
Tyrants, and call upon England to assist them in their
attempts to restore their foTrner Governments, which,
whatever might be their defeCfs, were a thousand
times prefer Ole to the oppre,sion which they endure
under the minions of BUONAPKRTE. The people of
Naples we know have made several attempts to re-
store their former Monarch, and would must readily
co-operate with any forces we could send, in order.

to effea so desirable a measure. It is wonderful that,
the writers alluded to, who are so terrified lest
those Governments on the Corittnent which have
been overtlirol.vn by the French, should be re-esta-
blished, do not tell Ministers to,stipulate expressly

with their respeaive -.inhabitants, that Great Britain
shall only lend them assistance, upon..the condition •
that they will abandon all thoughts of being placed.
under the ancient Regime. But do the writers wish
that we should assist the States which have beerts
deprived of their Legitimate Rulers,' merely. icy'
give those States , a revolutionary impulse, and
expose them to all the fantastic innovatiods,,and
dreadfel excesses which attended the overthrow,
of -the ol& French Government As the writers'',
in ouestion•rather express their fars than cominu=
nicate their counsels, it is difficult to guess what
.they ,wish, or whA they would have Ministers
do. As to the idea of our -conquering any part of
Italy for ourselves, it- is so very ridiculous, that it
hardly deserves any notice. We believe these writers
may rest assured, that the-people of the Continent
who are enslaved by Frake are under none ,of
the terrors which so much-, disturb themselves ;
and we have every reason to believe that many of
the States allude'd to ale heartily sick of revolution-: ►
ary principles, and their horrible consequences.—.
The main point, however, is to endeavour to eifeet
their deliverance, and it is not likely that the British
Government needs to be cautioned against propos-.
ing such conditions to the poor enslaved viduns of
France, in her dependent States, as would, be insult-
ing to them, when- we were generously, assisting
them to effea their deliverance. But we are told
that " we must heal thoSe wounds which ages of
despotism :have infiiEted ; I,Ve .must infuse into its
(Italy) political body that health which flows from
freedom ; and out of- a garbled mass of disjointed
States, we must create one Mighty,•stable, and per-
manent Empire." Here, indeed, the Opposition
Writers speak-out, and they have t.urnisthed, employ-
ment for the British Government for a very long
period. It is easy for these Writers to call names
-and -bandy about the word despotism, but what is
all the despot is.n of the- former Governments of Italy
to that inflicted by the French But in the v. ork
which they have thus carved out for the British
Government, they seem to have wholly forgotten the
doctrines which they have so ,tong maintained, and
which forbid us to meddle with the political systems
of other States- Now, however, 'we are to endea-
vour to-improve their political health, and to aenihi--
late' the indePendence of some. Countries, in order to
" create a Mighty, stable, . and permanent Empire,
out of a garbled miss of disjointed' States." Thus
these writers contradtd the whole .of their poli-
tical conduCt for many 'years, and advise us to
follow the. examples.of the . French Revolutionists,
and legislate for other Countries,. who, though they
might .avail themselves of our help to rid them
of their present Tyrant, would afterwards spurn
at our 'officious atsc./ presumptuous attempts to
re-model their Governments. We ought to 'make
some apology to our Readers for canvassing such
absurdities, only that it' may be proper for us .
to shew that those profound Politicians, who
thus generously give their -advice to Ministers re-
specting the measures which they should adopt on
the Continent, do so in dire& oppesition to the
•
tenets which they have urged over and over asain
for many years, and would in reality make Great
Britain imitate the conslat -which the French Re-
volutionists recommended to all other States, and
upon which some of these Revolutionists grounded
their hopes `f of setting fire to the -four quarters of
the earth."

NO intelligence 11,:d reached Goyertitnent from
Portugal when this Paper was put to Press, . There
are, hOwever, several reports in circubtion respea-
ing the tenni. upon which the French are said to
have surrendered. but they Ore not entitled to any
credit.

Isith profound spco;ations as to the consequences
which may arise ft-041 the extension of War into

quarter. They appear to be under very great ap-
Tit-A(4,4°ns that it is the intention of ti.e British
'Moisten- td 'procure, if possible, the re-establish-
went of the ancient Governments, and dispossoss
the favourites of BUOxAPARTE, for the of
ogur?ose
getting the Country to parcel out ac ring our own.
ut the .fears of these gloomy nlticians carry
them still farther, for they hint at the possibili-
ty of our re-conquering a part of Italy, even for
onrAelves---ra supposition that we should have sup-
posed could. never have originated in any undistem-
pered brain. • In purAlance of these visionary ter-
rors, they take great pains to admonish Ministers
Againo such rash and dangerous deSigns, and say,
that should undertake the deliverance of that
couotry merely disinterested views." In this
respect, their gein•rosity is as wild ds their fears, for'
in util•ctingthe deliverance of Italy from the tyranny,
of Fcance, we must necessarily promote our interests,
'by reviving amicable connettions and commercial
interccni fie. Upon the same principles which induce
the writers allu,led to to discourage Ministers from
attempting-to carry the war into Italy, they ought to
.have diss44led them from interfering in the cause of
Spa.ri, to restore the Royal Family of that country,
. ,
and assi,!ing the Poituguese in their efforts to re-
place the Flouse of BR AoAtsizA on the Throne.--7.•
