HAVANNAH, JULY O.—The following Address
has been presented to the Gore no; by the Fran-
ciscan Friar; :

" SEIGNOR PRESIDENT, GOVERNOR ANT) CAPTAIN

GENERAL (F THIS CITY AND TIIE ISLAND Or

CUBA.

" The precautions which you have just adopted
to guard against an attack on the part of France, as-
sures us of the truth of the reports which are in cir-
culation, of the unexampled perfidy' with which the
Emperor of the French, abusing the frankness and
good faith of our ever loved FERDINAND VII. has
detained him in France, and subjected his kingdom
to all the horrors of war, respeaing neither age, sex,
nor rank, and even stretching forth his sacrilegious
hand towards the saneluary. We should think our-
selves guilty of the highest crime, did we suffer to
pass unnoticed so barbarous a proceeding. We. are
Spaniards ; and there runs in our veins •not only the
blood of those heroes who have so nobly adhered to
their Sovereign, but also that of those who have
fallen, and at this moment are falling, vielims to
the ferocity of MURAT and the furies who accom-
pany him. Though, from our procession, we may
not appear qualified,for any other. task than that of
directing the spiritual concerns of;our brethren, and
supplicating God, between the porch and the altar,
to lqpk doyen with an eye of compasionQll his peo-
ple nevertheless, while we are not unmindful of
that duty, and will consomly discharge it, we ear-
nestly entreat that you will call upon us, and allow
DE to be among the first to be employed in any ser-
vice, however difficult and laborious, even that of
carrying arms, in case of necessity, in the defence
of our country. We will meet death with pleasure,
and give an exemplary proof to those who survive
us, that we have acknowledged no other religion
than that of Jesus Christ„ as it is -pabtessed in the
Catholic Apostolic Roman Churg, nel'other King
than FERDINAND VII. and nolhterests- but those of
Spain. May God, &c."
VALENCIA, SErr. 27.—The condition of the un-
fortunate inhabitants of Barcelona • becomes daily
more calamitous: The French have carried oil the
provisions, and particularly the biscuit, which they
had in Monjui. In order to replenish their maga-
zines there, they have resorted to the barbarous sys-
tem of domiciliary visits. They searched every house
in which they expected there was any quantity of
provisions, and carried -away whatever they found,
pretending, however, that they meant to pay for
them. It is almost impossible to conceive the'pitch
to which those miscreants carry their villainy.—
Among the houses which they entered for the pur-
pose of seizing provisions, was that of a corn-dealer,
who had a quantity of wheat to the value of 4000
piastei.s. They rentoved the grain, and paid him
for it in ready money; but two or three days after,
tiley imposed a general contribution, and rated Ow
torn-dealer at 6000 piastres; so that he lost the
whole of his wheat, and 2000 piastres. This is a
specimen: of the happiness which the Drench troops
dispense, in the name of their master, to every na-
tion that has the misfortune to admit those benevo-
lent. guests.
We are assured that GenerarEzpELETA and the
Intendant are prisoners in the'rditadel of Barcelona.
The cauie or their confinement IK:tiot known ; but
it is supposed to have arisen from the French General
having demanded supplies, which it was totally im-
possible 1(4 them to furnish.
At a period when all the movements and disposi-
tions of the Frraich armies that infest our peninsula
seem to indicate a retreat, or rather a disgraceful
flight, it may not be improper that we should point
out the different roads by which they may effect
that purpose, should they escape the vigilance of our
experienced Generals.
The first and most practicableer9fitteleading from
France to Madrid, runs abouteo-2:e leagues through
the Pyrennees before it descendtti:to the plains, be-
t Ween Mondragon and Vittorio, In this interme-
diate space,/ ao army is exposed to attack at every
Step they can take.
The second entrance into Spain leads from Per-
pignan to Barcelona, passing through Bellegarde,
Junqu,,,ra, and the well-known passes of Figueras
and Gerona. This road rubs upwards of 50 miles
through the .V.),rennees, and there are many passes
on it where 100 peasants could stop a whole army.
From Bellegarde to Gerona, neither provisions nor
carriages are 'to be met with.

The third road leads from Bayonne to Navarre,
passing through San Juan del Pie del Puerto and
Pampeluna. This ;5 a dangerous and almost im-
practicable road, running chiefly among steep and
rugged mountains, which are not in any way passa-
ble, except from May to ok:tot-ler.
There is a fourth road leading from Tarbes, in the
Province of Baygorri, to Saragossa, over the moun-
tainous ridges which separate that Province from Ar-
ragon. ilut this is more properly a toot-path for the
dry seaion, than a toad for the passage of an army.
Ia winter it is totally impassable.:

CORUNNA, OCT. 22.—The :Messenger has arrived

thorizing the landing of the troops ; the disem-
barkation will commence to-morrow. Sir
