motives for arresting General Valdes:, They have
further declared Valdes the legal .Representative for
Leon, Leon, and have rejeaed the mad chosen by Cuesta.
In consequence of Cuesta's violent condual to one of
the Representatives of the Nation, Mr. Stuart has
refused to give him any part of the money sent to
Austurias and Leon, by the British :gOvernMent.
This proceeding of Mr. Stuart has given great .satis-
laalion to the Spanish Government. Cuesta, how-
ever, marched a detachment of his army to Robles,
a small town- near to Leon, and seized 2 so,ooo dol-
Lrs belonging to the British Government. General
Castanos is appointed Commander in Chief of the

Madrid, and one at Ocana. Orders were sent this
day to the army of Estremadura to begin its march
to Burjo dcl Ostia. The Marquis Dc Rornana is
appointed to the command of the Northern army,
at present under General Blake. The present
strength of this army, exclusive of the Marquis De
Montana's corps, is 30,000 men, of which more
than one half are troops of the line. When the
army of the Marquis will have arrived, there will be
40,000, two-thirds of the line, to which may be
added 10,000 Asturians. .
The army of Arragon will continue to be com-
manded by General Palafox : but -as he has been
ordered to detach ;0,000 men to Catalonia, includ-
ing the division of the army of Valencia then at
.his retnaining force will be but 15,000
men; a considerable portion of which would be pea-

Catalonia, which will be reinforced immediately by
10,000 men from Granada, under General Reding.

7RIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1808.

We this day received some New York Papers,
down to the loth ult. from which we have made
Extra&s, as well as from the American Papers which
we received yesterday. The Federal Eleakins are
going on very favourably, and there is reason to hope
that the IiEFFE#§9NEAN, or Gallic, FaCtion will soon
sink into utter insignificance. The ilemaßics on the
President's Answer (in THE SUN of yesterday),
to the Boston Petition, displaY great shrewdness,
as well as .a bold determined spirit
.of patriotism
and 'philanthropy. We .are happy in 'fiuding
that the general. opinion. in America is favour-
able to Great Britain. The President, in his An-
swer,to. the 4o'stoilians, utters a glaring falsehood,
. . .
When, in reference to this Country and France, be
says, gi each party indeed yvonldadmit our Com-
merce themselve,, with the view of associating
us in the war against the other." All we required
frOnn- America svas, fhat She should not join-France
in a war ._against .us, by submitting to such re.
strietions.upon her Commerce with France as were
intended (or the ruin of the Commerce of Great
Britain. We are glad to find that the cold unfeel-
ing manner in which the President has mentioned
Spain, has excited the indignation of ljis country-
men. To say, in reference to the glorious endea-
vours of Spain to resist the Coriican Tyrant's at-
tempt to enslave her, that i! a contest for govern-
ment appears to have arisen," is to manifest 'a heart
totally dead to every generous and honourale feel-
ing, and is particularly unworthy of the ITead of a
free Government. Mr. JEFFERSON is called a ".cold-
hearted Philosopher,"—i hat his heart is cold and
conttaded, must be readily admitted ; but a Phi-
losopher would have more enlarged views - than
to abet the designs of an ambitious Despot; - and he
Would look with no common degree of i,leasureoo
those exertions in Spain which do honour to, hiaMan'
nature, and set a noble example to all ages. We
insert another Answer from the President to the Le-
cioislature of New Hampshire, by which it is mani-
fest, as well as by the other, that he is resolved to
persevere in continuing the Embargo, iu spite of all
the discontents which it has excited, and the tpisery
which it has occasioned.

The .Ir 4 arrived kesterday.. at Portsmouth from
Gijon. Qn the 10th inst-she fell in with to Sail of

We detest their principles, but we thank them for
their . °peones's. They have boldly and man fully
pulled off the mask : they disdained to fight any
longer under false colours, though for a time they
thought proper to make use of the Convention in
Portugal fur the purpose of entrapping unsuspealng
credulity. They have now unequivocally avowed that
they have other and very different objets in view
from an Inquiry into the merits of a' Convention, or
an Examination into the conclua of a General.
'Whatever epithets of disapprobation therefore we
.may apply to their conduct, • we must give them
credit for frankness. They have fairly announced
their intentions : they have put every loyal English
man, every friend to the Constitution, on his guard;
and we trust the warning they have given will not
be:given in vain. That Party, or rather that despe-
rate Faaion, which, though put down by the pa-
triotism and good sense of the Country, was not an-
nihilated, has always anxiously watched for, -and
eagerly seized_upOn, every event which they thought
likely to excite discontent in the country. They knew,
by experience, that the people of England were no
longer to be deceived by the senseless jargon which
produced such lamentable effects fourteen years ago,
they, therefore, in some respe&s, changed their
mode of attack, but they never abandoned their ob-
jea. They_ dwelt, with malignant delight, upon
every occurrence which could in any point of view
be considered as injurious to the country. They
magnified every disaster—they depreciated every ad-
vantage—they ridiculed the exertions—they decried,
the successes of Great Britain—they extolled the
skill, the bravery of our enemies, uniforrnlypalliated
their crimes, and exaggerated their vietories. A party
actuated by such principles, and aiming at stuck;
an end, naturally seized with avidity upon tine
late Convention in Portugal ; instead of expressing,
the satistadion they really felt at an event which,
in general estimation, had disappointed the hopes
and expeEtations of the Country; they affeae4 to
sympathize with the feelings of the Nation, and to
deplore an event, which by many was cOnsidered Rs
tarnishing the. Glory of the Country. They toe,k
advantage of the public feeling, and with equal, dex-
terity and audacity, endeavoured to pervert that
feeling to their own purposes. The attempt, in
part, succeeded ; but it can succeed no more. If the
faaion, after the events of yesterday, should prevail,
they must prevail by their own strength.. No leyal
Englishman, no man attached to the Sovereign And

" If your Imperial and Royal Majesty sincerely
desires, as you profess, to learn the wishes of the
Spanish nation, it hopes that you would be plea3ed
to set at liberty the. Prince .of ASTURIAS, who has
been proclaimed throughout the Realm, the legitj-
, mate Successor to the Crown ; and if, in this state
of perfeal freedom, and within the limits of his ter-
,ritoricshe should sign such a renunciation, the Spa-
ring) nrion will consider all difficulties and legal .ob-

*** We are sorry that we are not able to resume the very
valuable Article on BCONA2ARTE'S Campaign in Italy
this day. It shall appear to-morrow, and wilt relate to
the Battle of Vico and MONDOV t.

ceived. They have boldly avowed that they care
not about the merits of the Convention, or the con-

duet of the Commanders in Portugal, They made
use of them for a time to inflame public dis-

content, but they have shewn that their real attack
was upon the Constitution of the Country. They
want what they chuse to disguise under -the
specious name of a " Reform ip Parliament," and
that, they will always propose, whatever by the sub-
jea-of discussion, or whatever be the objed- of the
Meeting. The Propositions respeaing Parliarnentiri
Reform were yesterday reje6ted; and we trust that

his daring attempt to entrap the Citizens of West

nriuster will have its proper effeet throughout the
ingdQm 5 and that loyal men will not suffer them-

selves to be made tools to promote the ends of a

designing,and desperate Faaion.

WE have given in our preceding Columns some
accounts -froM Spain relative to the strength and:
position of the Spanish Armies. No a6lion of
any importance has yet taken place. We are very
sorry to find in these accounts some details
te-
spe&ing the coodua of Gen. CUESTA, which by no
means relied credit on him. It is said that be is to
be,removed from his command.

'further accounts from Spain. General PALAFOX'S

have all, Federal and Anti-Embargo Writers of every
description, over and over again inquired, what will
this Country do for Funds, when those , depr
sited in the Treasury, by our late ComMerce, are ex'

ous consequence; it is a question which Or
opponents sedulously keep out of view; the/.
cannot be goaded into a reply; but it is a question
which every Citizen whose mind is not bent on 1211`
Country's destruCtion should resolve in his oWri
rnincl It is a subjea of so plain a nature that all

man of common sense, however partially accustom'
ed to political speculations, can makeconclusions per'

feelly convincing to himself. •

Commerce has supported our Government and our
plied our public wants. It is arrested—it is destroy"
ed. Mr. JEFFERSON tells us plaint,, it is beet to de
without it, and his partizans assure him and us that

his plan is wise and must be executed.

Shortly there will not be found a dollar in lII°
Treasury. Will Government at such a season, %loc*
the greatest possible disadvantages, sacrifice our pub"

lic lands ? The loss would be incalculable, and th•
amount soon expended. Will they impose DIRECT
TAXES ; they will be monstrous, and the peoPl!
witbout trade have no means to pay them. Will

they single out those of ,our Citizens whose success'
industry has placed them in affluence—plunder
and rob them of their estates ? Such villainy will
never be countenanced nor endured by a just corn'
rounity : or even if iniquitously tolerated for a time,
the few would soon be equalized or ruined, nild
destruEtion descend to the possessors of ordinal
fortune.

THESE CONSEQUENCES OF A CONTINtr"

-EMBARGO ARE INEVITABLE. Innuiti
can point out no plan whatever of avoiding them•
For Heaven's sake then, let the long prejudiced
friends of Administration and its fatal policy, look al
the approaching scene.
We know that if the. Embargo be not urnovedi
our Citizens will ere long set its restr;elionft and its
penalties at defiance,

Without entering into discussions of congibilionai
poirkts and powers, every man knows and feel'
no Republican Government can CONSTITUTI"'

While the Citizens wijl be thus reduced to a state Of
