Assembly of this Principality (Asturias), proclaims a.

DIGO, JUNE IB.—Our regular and provincial
troops are continually filing off. with their battalions
complete, to the number of !moo, and a grand
train of artillery. The enlistment of 30,000 pea-
sants is a6uively proceeded in, to enable General
CUENCA to reinforce his army.
iNIADRID, JUNE Is.—We are much relieved here
by the diminution of the French troops, and
milady as the few which remain do not 2t all inter-
fere with us. In the gardens of the Retiro they go
on with theiir.fortiacations: Scarcely a soul is lobe.
seen on the public walk of the Prado, on account of
the horrid scenes do lately exhibited there.'
We know that at two distina times, bodies of
troops filed off for Segovia, and it is said that artillery
was sent there,: but we can know little of what
passes in that city; or even in the surrounding pro-
vince; for what is communicated to, us by their
Journals is only what is favourable to their interest.
Their Papers are thus filled with falsehoods and lie, ;
yet more abominable are insertel in the liciyonle

Garotte. • Tile worst is that their Spanish accom--
plices endeavour to give credit ts) Such nAisrepfe-
. sentatiohis.

I IMPoRTANT DOCUMENT..
Don ALVARO FLOREZ E,TRADA, Procurator-Ge-
'neral of the Principality of Astiirias, made the fol-
lowing proposition to the Supreme ,CouncP.:. the
Gen,:ral Council of the Principality of Asturias do
Lit delay a moment in making known tO the pub-
lic thEt daily-proofs 'they receive. of the friendship
of the Erglish Government and Nation, who, in
order the • better to enable it to supply all our
wants, • have promptly sent to this Capital
military Committee, composed of three °dicers of
distinCtion, who, this morning, presented, them-
selves before the Supreme Council, not only to
assure us, that all the supplies and succour which
we pointed out to then, might be daily ex-
peded in our ports, hut also to offer in the name
of their Government, to this Principality, and to
the rest of the Spanish Nation, all other assistance
we might stand in need of ; to send .us troops,
• money, arms, ammunition, and warlike stores:, and
to make common cause with us, in' order that we
might be able to repel and destroy the common
enemy. That generous nation deserves the utmost
gratitude on our part ; but as it Offers its protection
to all the provinces which defend the good cause,
it will know, on. the other hand, how to employ
all its power against those provinces which guid-
, tit a pernicious selfishness or apparent timidity,
are forgetful of their dial, in the present critical
Circumstances in which the country is placed, and do
not endeavour in imitation of the real Patriots, to de-
fenii .the glorious cause, and shake off a disgrace-
TUI yoke. The Sudieine Council think it right, to
declare to the Public, that they felt the liveliest emo-
tions Of gratitude and respect, when 'they heard the
ComniCsioners give them the assurauee, that it was
wish to shed thelist drop Of their blood
fighting with our brethren, in defence of The Cam-
MOH cause.

Oviedo, June 30, 1808.

And it having been resolved, thAt the preceding
proposition be printed and circulated through all the•
districts of the Principality, we communicate it
also to you for your information. God keep yoo
many years ui his holy guard.

"MY DEAR BROTHER, •

I desire you will vigilantly attend to ;}Our pro,
Ccedings with the Spaniards, not indeed for their
sakes, but that they may be rendered subservient to
my projeals. When once the authority of France is
established among them, I expect to draw from
their population 200,000 men, with whose assist-
ance' I intend to Conquer tire kingdom of Mofoccd.'
and the whole Mediterranean Coast of Africa. This:
conquest, besides preventing the English from draw-
ing subsistence from thtnce, will put Spain in • a
helpless situation. For such purposes it is advisable
to give the preference to the S.,uthern inhabitants)
who are more accustomed to the iockelntncy of the
heat, and best calculated to cope with the English.
It is necessary .to avail ourselves of the pre,ent cir-
cutnstances to advance our fortunes, while tbe booby
ALEXANDER, whoth. I have, made to believe is to
divide Europe with me, is amusing himself in con-
quering reeky' lands and • icy seas. Vie shall see
what, will happen),

Whom I have ilislosed this favourite scheme, sce.
