sweet illusion of your sawn Appennines, and the
view of cataracts, the chOirming recollection of those
of the Vistula and the E;redanus. And you, illus-
trious peasantry of Portgtgal, haw can you contem-
plate our cause as distin't .trom your own, united,
-as we are, by the same "religion, the same climate,
and almost the same lanimge ? Our rivers running-
over the golden sands ot4 our mountains, form those
opulent ports of your It ingdom, supplied with the
wealth of Castro; of Albuquerque, and of India.—
Have you not been the t error and admi,ation of the

'universe ? and now that a handful of cannibals are
endeavouring to oppre4s all mankind, .aud that you
have been among the fii st victims of intrigue and ty-
ranny, will you submit: to this degradation ; No ;
join the Lasts 'of your compatriots, who invite you
to hurl off the infamou-i yoke, and to defend, utjtil
• death, the sacred rights of man.
' " Brave Soldiers ! when the hateful troops of
'France are destroyed, you- suspect that no wor-
thy object of your valour r and resentment will remain,
and that there will be no vi6iims to immolate in the
field of battle ? You ciici not know the true Charader
of Spaniards, and tive high . spirit which actuates
-them.- When our av enging arms shall have exter-
minated the miserabh: remains of the French troops,
and the glorious Ija triots, Cuesta,,ACevedo, Pala-
fox, Caro, and.othtirs, have no longer employment
for their valour Wit hin the boundary of our penin-
sula, think yea thaTit the business of war and the'
rage of battle are; terminated ?; No; we have to
,present before the world a dignified example of the
miraculous effeds Oil the rezalion of a just and pow-
erful people fpr the destration of slaves and cow-
ards. -The conotterors :of St. Quintin, 'Will they
not descend from the Pyrennean mountains to the
shores of the Gat-;onne and the Adour, to demand
justice for the French people against the execrable
tyrant who doinirteetS-oVer them ? Will it not he
beneficial that the report of the achievements of our
courageous battalions should be, heard 'somewhat
more distindly by the Members of the National In-
stitute ? • And how can we believe that those true
friends of philosophy do not detest, in the bottom
of their hearts, the malice and perfidy of their Em-
peror ? How can it be supposed, that the enlight-
ened principles of these learned. rien do not proscribe
this monster, ;and that they will,not invite the peo- .
pie to resist his oppression, when SpaniardS; in the
heart of their_couotry, are ready to assist them in
their virtuous purposes ? - •

• " This, then, beloved comrades, is the only
prole& worthy of our valour and of the'nattonal en-
thusiasm. •

" Let us, sword in hand, penetrate to the cen-
tre of degraded France. Let us invite her honoura-
ble-inhabitants to combine with us'for the destrue,
tion of the monster who insults and defiles th4im,
and may he be offered up a vittiim.by the people for
the sake of universal - justice, and to expiate the,
crimes which he has committed against a generous
nation.. Yes, valiant soldiers, do not believe that
all „Frenchmen are accomplices in-the iniquities we-
deplore. Even ainong those which compose the ar-
mies of the tyrant, we know that there are some
happy individuals, who, in the midst-Of vice and
corruption, have nourished the seeds of justice.—
We know that Moncey, the illustrious General, who
possesses so extensive a command, and a name so
exalted,..detests the conduct of his companions; and
execrates that cold spirit of cruelty which has cover-
ed with blood the. capital otour monarchy. We of-.
ler up to him the tribute of truth and honoUr; and
we invite this generous soldier to assist our forces by
the addition of his talents and courage. If the re-
speek which be pays to the mandates of nature do
not permit him to take up arms against his
partizans, yet he_ shall be considered by us as a
just and honourable. wan, and shall enjoy our love;
and regard wherever the ae4ents of lite shall place
him. .

In fine, brave Poles, Portuguese, and Italians,
we invite you to a fraternal. union with our com-
patriots.. The cause is sacred—the stake is Valuable
—the chances of victory are with us—the acquisitiou
of glory is certain.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM LIVERPOOL.,
• JULY

" The storm of thunder, lightning, and rain;
which, visited this neighbourhood on Saturday
Morning last,: has not been exceeded, in violence
and nration.,_ by any 'thing of the kind which haS
occurred -within the memory of man. For five hours
together the. flashes' of lightning darted from the
• clouds with such quick succession, that the atmos-
phere was kept in almost one continual blaze of fire.
The thunder, at the same time, kept up its dreadful
accompaniment with equal *regularity. At one pe.
• riod, three most vivid flashes of lightning succeeded
each other, with scarcely any perceptible interints-
sion, and 'the peal.of thunder which followed; 'con-
tinued, according to the report of a respectable Cor--
respondent, while he could, with moderate quick-
ness, count 163. The whole. formed a scene the
most sublime, solemn, and iMpressive, that nature
or art can possibly exhibit.
" We have not heard of any loss of life, or of any
.very important mischief. About two o'clock a ball
Of tire struck ,the oil mill near the Mount, belonging
to Messrs. los. Crane and Co. which it damaged
very much.' It entered near the top of the mill, and'
passed though all the different stories till it came to
the bottom, when it burst, and tore opt almost all
the windows in the three different diredions of
north, east,• and west. The stroke split a large
piece riff the main shaft, broke a bar of tine of the
doors, tvhiCh it threw open, melted same iron, and
went through ,the rolling machine. Providentially_
the work Men had all left the mill before the coin-
\
mencemen t of the storm.

" The thermometer iklonging to the Infirmary,
on Tuesday se'nnight, stood at 90 in the shade; a
degree of .heat nut remembered at this place tar a
number of 'years:" •
