PROCLAMATION.

ttHE GENERAL OF SARAGOSSA TO THE ARAZONESE.

" CONVJERORS OF Ta E HAUGHTY FRENCH!'

, " ARAGONESE !—You have prove.: yourselves to
be worthy of your name. That multitude of proud
warriors, triumphant in every other part of Europe,
ceased to retain the charaoler of conquerors when
they came before you. You are interior both io
discipline and numbers; because one-twentieth part
of our forces have not entered into aelion, having
been incapable of uniting. But your zeal has over-
come every difficulty. The musketry in which
your enemies place so much confidence, are weak
.
instruments of their power when you appear before
thern: .you look at them with courage, and they
fall' of your feet.

" Aragonese ! the result of our first attempt has
been to leave on the field of battle 18.000 enemies,
composing 'a complete army, which had the audacity
to provoke our resentment; We have bad the good
fortune to get possession of all the property and
baggage of which the people have been infamous-
ly plundered in the countries through which this
army passed. Our loss consists only of from' 1700
to 51.000 killed, and an equal number wounded :
* loss bearing no comparison to the triumph we-
have obtained. Their precious blood is shed is
the field of glory, on their own territory; and these
blessed martyrs demand new victims.; let us' pre-
pare for the sacrifice. Aragonese ! be not impa-
_tient. The enemy against whom we fight is rash,
and will afford frequent opportunities for you to e'
ercise your skill and your courage. It, especially,
the lawless bands which violate our city of Madrid,
and their Commander MUAAT, should venture W
approach us, we should receive the intellig:fnce
with the highest satisfaction; we would anticipate
their expetations, and meet them halt way.
"-Aragonese ! if the battle of SaragOssa had been
gained by these intruders, we shotoci have heard
their babbling of the vi6tories of Marengo, A.uster.
Utz; and Jena,' acquired by the same valour.
though' the conquest we have effeCled has been
sanguinary, yet it has been glorious. Do YO.
consider it as a trifling commencement of yotlr 111'
turo triumphs, under the powerful assistance of yOO
illustrious Leader and Patron.,

POR.UNNA, JULY respettable persoP Of this
city receiyed a letter yesterday, by the post, writ
tell
by.a Priest to his brother, to the following effect

It is notorious that MPRAT, appriicci that in
rious places they opened the fnails, and killed
oe
persons who favour the French interest, has aduPt
the infamous plan of writing to the 111,igistial
elected by the' people, a }Utter to the toilow'ing por
port :

" Sir, I observe what. you write me, and on 511-
,a day will arrive in your neighbourhood, with o'l
number of French troops you desire, in order to

strain the Revolutionists."
• Such are the contents ; and the .dbjed is, 0111'
festly, that when the letters are opened, tros°llai~rl
may be-attributed to the new Conumanders,
thus their death may be occasioned, and tine
of the Patriots be left without leaders.
