" MOST EXCELLENT SIR,
" Notwithstanding the accounts which I for.
warded to your Excellency on the 7th instant, I n,,w
transmit you a copy of the Letter which I received
from the Chief of nut Staff and Major-General of the
English Army, written by ordc;• of the ,General in
Chief, in order that your Excellency may be assured
that there is no doubt Of, the Capitulation of the
French Army having been concluded. A 4, however,
they are about to, evacuate Portugal, and as I have
closely bloeioded the small number of troops in the
' neighbouring-Garrison of Elvas; I since their
- ~.gurruder is certain, proceed to complete the orga-
nization of my army, which. will consist of 12,000
men, with of corresponding' train of artillery, and
shall march directly to Castile, in aid of the other
armies, in order to contribute to the just defence of
the Nation.--f—May God preserve your. Excellency
many years.

" JOSEPH GALLUZO."

"•Badajoz, September ro."

PONIA li, SEPT. I 3.—Yesterday the head-quarters
-pf Oenetal BLAK.n were removed to QuintanAla,
8 leagues from Burgos. We belieVe that the first and
fourth division will go towards -Bilboa; and that
the second, third, and vanguard, will march to Bur-
gos. At present nothing is known fOr certain, as
our General is so very reserved. It is probable,
however, that in a short time a battle will be/fought
ui the neighbourhood of Pancorvo.

• MuticiA, AuG. 15.—0 n ti►e 14th were appointed
Deputies for the Central Junta, the :CONDE DE
FLORIDA BLAtSCA, and the Marquis Di.i VILLAIL

LAREDO, SE: T. G.-0a the 4th instant, infor-
, roalion was received, that one division of the army
-,of Senior PALAFOX had surprim.d, in a village called
Milagio, a division of the French army, consisting
of 5000 men, at the moment when the solders were
ptching their tents, and being-attacked without hay-
. nig time to prepares for their defence,
:they were all
put to the sword, except a Drum-major and two of
ins sons. Upon this information, the.tfoops which
..were in Miranda, Berbuano, Berguenda, and Fon-
techa, immediately marched, to the number of
J 2,000 men, withoUt leaving mere than 200 in
. 311iratida. .

SEVILLE, SEPT. 9.—On the 6th instant, his Ex-
,,,celleney the A-cchbishop of Lactdicea set cut from
hence for the Central Junta.

•
CADIZ, SLPT. 9.—This morning, at ten o'clock,
an Engligh corvette and three-brigs entered oar port
with 3000 nmikets and provisions for the army.—
There a)so arrived an express from Gibraltar, wlih
the information _of the Archduke FEADINAND bay-
ing airived in an English ship.

a ,donble force, arid with a large body of cavalry.—
Nut thinking it prudent' or necessar), to maintain
pw:ition flanked on all sides; nor endanger at once
the loss of my army, and of consequence that of the
whole kingdom of Arragon, I retired upon Sara-
gossa, and occupied there all the most important
points for the purpose of making a defence, if:pos-
sible, more strong and -vigorous than the first.
f‘ The enemy have abandoned Tudela, and other
points which they occupied on the left bank of the
Ebro, indicating a retreat to Pampeluna, and guard-
ing the person of the fugitive JOSEPH'; in the mean
while sacking the villages, and-cutting off those re-
sources which went to form the chain of our sup-
plies. They impose contributions, injure the roost
sacred right of our countrymen, and keep our forces
devoted to the carrying on of a defensive war
lone.

f‘ Spaniards ! the post which I occupy impoSes
upon 'me the necessity of speaking with plain-
_ ness : I am not under the necessity of giving new
: proofs of my sentiments, with the sole objet of con-
vineing you of my patriotism : fny expressions shall
- never convey. any thing but the anxious wish
which animates mein. the cause in which I was the
first to embark. • Let it not be, that the enemy be-
ing destitute of. real force, shall accomplish their
obyEt by intrigues for disuniting us, by promoting
qoiestions.about etiquette, and .introducing the most
tatal divisions as the consequence of our triumphs.
Generals of Div.isions ,of the Spanish Army !
hasten to those points whither your honour calls you,
the interest of the whole nation, and the wishes of
every people in Europe. It is in view of the enemy
that we ought to concert and combine our plans;
abaildon those weak Spaniards, who,' by their ridi-
culous pretensions, serve to retard the progress of our
arms, and lessen those advantages which we have
already acquired.
"'Deputies of ad the Provinces! the nation blames
your delay in establishing a Central Junta, to repre-
- sent the august person of our beloved Sovereign Felt-
br :es ND VII. and which will dictate the most certain
means for saving the country from thoseidangeis
which threaten it 'amidst the diversity of ()pinions
and authorities whose funEtions ought to ceases--
Compatriots ! employ your talents in the es-
. .tablishment of a Government which will provide for
every thing, and particularly for that which at pre-
sent is most pressing, namely, the complete deliver-
ance of our soil from the remains of an enemy, who,
with the knowledge alone of the union of our forces,
s would prepare themselves for flight.
" Generous Merchants ! the soldiers of the na-
, tion march to defend your properties and your cause.
Circumstances demand extraordinary aids, and it iS
just that you should demonstrate your patriotism and'
ad'aerence to the common cause, by donations for
clothing all the troops which march, to endure in the.
field the hardships of the ensuing winter.
" Ministers of Religion ! go on fulfilling your
duties ; inculcate among the people the maxims of a
good morality; and pray to the God of armies for the
success of the artus of our SuVer'eigo, ,FRRDINAND
VII. You ought pstticularly to guard against any
attempt Of the enemy to mislead the people, 'and to
distrait their attention from the common objeEt.
Valiant Inhabitants of Spain ! your energy and
roriotigm are a theme of admiration and praise to all
nations; a single hour of delay may snatch from us
whit will crown your immortal glory. Let us hasten
to avenge the insults of those sacrilegious men who
have made an attempt on the most precious rights of-
our liberty and independence ; yes, our country, our .
religion, the worth of the best of Monarchs, impe-
riously call upon us to the prompt fulfilment of the
most noble and most sacred of our duties."
'MADRID, SEPT. 14.—Yosterday Don -FRANCISCO
XAVIER CASTANOS, Captson-General of the Army
of Andalusi.t, received the following .official com-
momication„transmitted, from Badajoz, by Don Jo-
-5E1)11 GALLIYZO, General in Chief of the Army of
Eitremadura.

VALENCIA, SEPT. 10.-o,er Depnties to, the Ceti-
tral Junta have now arrived at Aladrid, and in this
city have arrived the Deputies from Majorca, who
also set out for-the capital. At their departure from
the Island, there were embarking for the Continent
the regiment of Spanish Hussars, 2400 Swiss, and
the Bourbon regiment of infantry, destined for Ca-
talonia. Nine thousand men are raising with all
activity in this Kingdom, and 2000 horses have
; been collected for the cavalry. Yesterday arrived
an Officer from Villa Franca de Panades, where
the Junta of Catalonia is, and brought official in-
! formation of the Frencliihaving marched out 'of
Barcelona and attacked the Catalans at Pons de Mo.-.
lins, in which action ope thyusand of the enemy
were slain.

TARRAGONA, AUG. t learn by letters from
Rbsas, that 3000 of the 5000 French, who bad ar-
, rived 'at Perpignan, having emered by La hinquera,
wereattacked and put to therout by our Catalonians,
with the loss of 1200 then. From many deserters,
who arrive daily, and other individuals who are able
to make their escape from Barcelona, it is known
that the French in that place are in great: want, and
that they begin to feel a deficiency of gunpowder.
The day before yesterday there came over to us 29
soldiers of the French cavalry, mounted and armed,
and 51 of their infantry.
CORUNNA, SEPT. 24. The day before yesterday
the CONDE GINONDE and Does MANUEL MARIA
ABA LLE, Deputies from this kingdom, set out for
"the Central Junta.
; A letter from Jacu, of the 2oth of June, and
another from Pedrezuela, of the 20th of August, de-
scribe. in strong colours the excesses perpetrated by
the French in those places.
MADRID, SEPT. 13.--The armies of Valencia and
Murcia are now at Soria and its environs; the first
division of the Army of Andalusia has joined them,
and will be followed by other two divisions. Be-
ing united in the course of ten •or twelve days with
that of Arragon, an army of from Go to 80,000. men
will be formed, which, when added to that of Ga-
licia and Castile, will be able, We'trust, to deliver
Spain from the French troops.

OPORTO, SEPT. 16.—Copy of a 'Letter written
from Lisbon, dated the 12th inst.—" French ty-
ranny is now at an end, and the business of restor-
ing to every one his dues, and that of which he has
been despoiled, goes on. This day, for a com-
mencement,, six millions will be restored, which
were in the different treasuries of the army of plun-
derers. Nice millions have been colleted in bari
.of silver, which a Vessel loaded with salt was to
,carry off. The English are encamped in two divi-
sions, in the fields of Santa Anna and Ourique..Our
troopi are now in different parts of the city, and ou
the 14th will take possession of the Castle of Belem.
This day the Russian Squadron sailed; as prisoner; to
the English ; and there will sail as soon as possible
6000 French prisoners, well registered, in such a
way, that they cannot carry oft more than belongs
to them. JUNOT and his Generals have been forced
to give an account of all they have plundered and
robbed. In this city the greatest joy reigns among
all good citizens, and the greatest confusion and dis-
cord are observed among the enemy."

LERIDA, AUGUST 2.—A Letter written by a
Gentleman who has left Barcelona, is as follows :
" My esteemed friend, as it is now about three
months since you have received any letter from me,
I take this opportunity of breaking silence, to inform
you of the devastations, horrors, and profanations,
which have occurred in our distressed town Baree
lona, since that day. when only 50 enterprising men,
by the inspiration of Heaven, attacked a legion of
vile satellites of the greatest of Tyrants, in the pass.
of Bruch, which action, as well as every other which
has subsequently occurred in this province, has fully
evinced that they are valiant only when, they are not
resisted, and that they are indebted for their triumphs
to perfidy, to corruption; and those low intrigues,'
which are so natural to them. In the various
Diaries which have been published, it, appears that
in no Single aai'on did they manifeSt that great va-
lour and cape.c'ity of which they so often boasted.—
Their blunders indeed appear so- glaring. that they
even seem beret-b. of judgment, and cannot be other-
wiseaccounted for than by the disposition of Provi-
dence, which seems to precipitate them to th.air ruin.
Would to Heaven that the remnant of their t 5,000
men had been confined, who came to take possession
of this Province and its frontierS; then we might de-
liver ourselves -from •the 2300 wretches, who,, avail-
ing themselves of their superiority in the possession
ot the strong torts of the capital, oppressed the un-
Itunate inhabitants, reduced to the "half of what
they thrtnerly were, with every species of vexation.
To escape such unheard of cruelty which bad been
praetised on the peaceful people, a great number of
them took the prudent resolution of getting security
for themselves by flight, and others purchased their
liberty with money, amongst-whom I myself was
one. ft would 'be impossible to detail the various
means whereby the furious General LECCElrplui)der-
ed the whole people. • Suffice it to sag, that I. my,
self lost au ounces of gold. Barcelona presented a
picture too horrid to depict with natural colours.—
Conceive to yourself a case of such extreme 'misery,
that all the poor people were compelled to beg alms ;
that tlte.price of every article of food was raised to
such a height, that thp people were unable to put-,
chase them, in consequence of the pilgrims of St.
Michael having guarded the avenbes of the city, and
prevented the entrance of any supply. In addition
to the -weekly contribution of 25,000 pesos which
LECHI exas, he carries on a persecution against all
the respeEtable inhabitants, which obliges them to
conceal themselves, to avoid falling into his hands.
Every exaction. which he makes is accompanied
with a threat of the destrudion of the city. Not-
'withstanding the plentiful magazines of provisions
which he had hoarded up in the citadel of Monjui,
and other place;,- he ordered a domiciliary visit to
take place, and his men to take away such provisions
as the people had provided againSt a scarcity.He
also inflias the most cruel punishments on such un-
heppy individuals as may have uttered any expres-
sion, reflecting upon his atrocities, ot which he is in-
fortn.c.,l by his numerous spies.- Such is a brief
sketch of the once flourishing Barcelooa and we are
in daily fear that the monster will one day put his
threat in execution of destroying the City, as hap-
pened a few days ago to the Church of St. ferorne.
I pass in silence over the atrocities committed by the
French on the weak, and the defenceless, and the

inagnities they spew to the women. I trust Heaven
will speedily-put an end • to such *dreadful doings,
Which are so offensive to humanity, and .so-rnuch
degrade our species, and which have not been ex-
.
c4ded by the most fierce and-Cruel." .
