WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1802.

It having been asserted in some of the Morning
Papers, that the fleet which brought the Russian
Squadron from the Tagus did not display the British
Ensign, in consequence of express orders to that ef-
lea, we have authority to state, that i4C, such orders
were given from the Admiralty.

Opposition, injtheir eagerness to attack the
present Administration, do not hesitate to have re-
course to the most absurd fabrications. It has been
repeatedly stated by them, that Admiral TYLER,
being apprehensive that the Russians might endea-
vour ,to escape, cleared his Ship for action. A
British Man of War, in commission and afloat, is
always clear for "aetion. The insinutaion is there.
fore wholly groundless. It has also been assert-
ed in the Opposition Papers, that Admiral COT'
TON entered into the late Convention with Admiral
SENTAVEI by orders from the Admiralty. To this
assertion we are enabled to give the most un-
qualified contradi&ion, as it has not the slightest
foundation in fad. Now that we are upon the
subject of Opposition fabrications, we think it right
to advert to a statement which, has been made
with great confidence in some '141!-thei`Opppsi-
tion Prints, viz. " that by the late'6tivention in
Portugal, the French troops are liberated, and
35,000 British troops shut up inactive in Portugal."
This statement is as devoid of truth as the forme!, as
there is every reason to believe that at this moment
20,000 of these troops are on the Northern Coast
of Spain. There are many other assertions of a
similar nature, equally unfounded, to which we have
not at present time to advert ; we shall merely con-
tent
ourselves with stating, that we have reason to
believe that at the time the Convention in Portugal
was entered into, it was perfealv well known, that
after appropriating a sufficient number of transports
for conveying away the. French Troops, there re-
mained as much tonnage as was sufficient to carry
25,000 of our Troops to any part of Spain where
they might be required.

Sir DAVID BAIRD sailed on Sunday from Fal-
mouth, with the whole of the Expedition under his
command. The Opposition have, with their usual
candour, censured Ministers for delaying this Expe-
dition, whereas the faa is, Sir DAVID sailed the first
moment the wind would permit the Vessels to get
out of the Harbour.

Iz is with the most sincere satisA6lion that we
lay before our Readers the account:Of the Instal-
lation of the Supreme Junta of Spain. The cere-
mony took place at Aranjuez on the 25th ult.—
The perfea unanimity which has prevailed in Spain
upon this most important subjea, tends very much
to strengthen the sanguine hopes we before enter-
tained, that the valour and patriotism of the Spa-
niards would be ultimately successful. The unex-
ampled perfidy, the atrocious cruelty with which
the Spaniards have been treated by BUONAPARTE and
his banditti, must naturally have united, the whole
kingdom against France ; but there was ground to
apprehend that upon the delicate subject of appoint-
ing a ProvisinnalGoverninent, considerable differences
of opinion might subsist, ancilhere can be no doubt
if that had unfortunately been the case, but that
BUONAPARTE would have used every effort and
practised every artifice to increase those differences,
the consequences of which might have been fatal to
the noble cause tot which Spain is now contending.
Fortunately, however, all our apprehensions upon
that subject are now removed. All private and per-
sonal considerations have given way to the two
great objects which the people of Spain have in view,
namely, to maintain their independence as a Nation,
and t(!) manifest their loyalty to their Sovereign.—
A Supreme Government faeS been appointed by
general consent, and, of course, possesses general
confidence, and the whole energies of Spain will
now be directed with ine)lased effect against the
Invaders.

Last night Dutch Papers to The 6th inst. reached
town. They contain intelligence from Fads to the
Ist. Tile EaT.:Tor of Rossla, notwithstanding the
fit. of the Royal fiunily of Spain; and the remon-
strances of his OVAIi littbjetis, has actually sett out to
meet BoUsa?Aurx. ,:lie waiat Custrin on the 24th
ult. where he was received by Marshal SounT, who
now goes by the title of Duke of Dalmatia. The
frequent hints which have been given ,in:the Moni-
teur upon the siibjea Orpe Artnam4iS gang on in
the Austrian dominions, bas prodneetlaonaething
like an explanation; in an article from Vienna,

which stares, tbat the measures which have been.
recently carried into etle& for augmenting the
Army, were determined upon long ago: it is also
added, that the best understanding subsists between
Austria, Russia, and France. This explanation,
however, does not appear to be quite satisfactory to
BUONAPARTE.

Private Letters have been received from Holland,
dated the 6th instant, which state, that another De-
cree has been published in Holland, not only pro-
hibiting the Importation of any English Manufac-
tures or Colonial Produce, but forbidding all inter-
course with this Country, under pain of death)

Tsouox the numberless atrocities of the French
Tyrant might be conceived to have given the world
a true idea of his charatier, yet the publication of
the very interesting and important document, by
CEVALLOS, late Minister to the King of Spain, has
shewn mankind that they formed an estimate of the
Usurper ►much too favourable. It was, indeed, im-
possible for the human mind to have imagined such
an extent of artifice, perfidy, and treachery, as that
plain, dear, and indisputable Narrative has deve-
loped. Nothing can be more lamentable than to
see the Continent in a state of submission to so exe-
crable a monster, and it is obvious that while
such a monster exists, there is no hope of seeing the
various States of Europe restored to their indeperd-
once, or to the power of renewing amicable re.a-
tions with this Country. If the infamous Tyrant
of France could treat the Royal Family of Sitin,
and particularly the unfortunate CHARLES the
Fourth, who had made every possible sacrifice to
please him, and to whom he had promised the
warmest friendship, with such cruelty, what mast
other Potentates expect, from whom he has re-
ceived no favours, or who have presuined to throw
any impediments in the way of his ambition ! But
the simple and impressive Narrative of the virtuous
CEVALLOS must have a powerful operation upon the
people of France, as well as upon those of every
other country. What can Frenchmen think of so
despicable a Liar, as well as so perfidious a Despot ?
And is it possible to suppose that they will continue
to bend under his yoke, and be dragged to slaughter
in order to gratify his ambition, in the attempt to
enslave a people who have so nobly asserted their in-
dependence, and who have displayed such wis-
dom and valour as, with the assistance of this

country, may bid defiance to all his arts and all
his power.—Among the almost unprecedented
a6ts of turpitude and treachery which the work of
Czy.tl.l.os has displayed, BuoNAPA RTE'S behaviour
to the Prince of ASTURIAS, whom, in his letter
dated Bayonne, April 16, he addresses by the title
of " My Cou,sin;" and to whom he says, " I de-
clare to your Royal Highness, to the Spaniards, and
to the whole world, that if the abdication of King
CHARLES be voluntary, and has not been forced
upon him by the insurreetion and tumults at Aranjuez,
I have no difficulty in regarding and acknowledging
your Royal Highness as King of Spain ;" yet a few
days after, as we learn from the instruaions given by
CEVALLOS to LABRADOR, dated the 27th of the same
month, he had absolutely determined that the BOUR-
BON dynasty should no longer reign in Spain, and
told the Prince that he had no alternative but the ces-
sion of his rights, or death. The human mind re-
volts with horror from such atrocity, and cannot but
wonder how such a monster has so long been able
to escape the punishment due to his crimes. But
the hour of retribution and justice seems to be
approaching. His baseness and treachery are now
so notorious, that none but an ideot can de-
pend upon his word, or not fear that some
deadly scheme is veiled under the fairest pro-
positions. The people of Europe must identify
their interests with those of their Sovereigns, and
look with anxiety and impatience for the termi-
nation of the Monster's career. Besides, the dis-
graces and defeats which his armies have sustained
will lessen the terror which those armies had in-
spired, even if they should continue to fight the
battles of tyranny and ambition, and their own
courage will abate, now they find that the spell
has been broken by the valour of the Spaniards
at home, and that of Britons in Portugal.—
NOr is it possible to suppose that the Russian
Nobility and People will abet the schemes of
their Emperor, if his eyes should not be open-
ed by the scene of unexampled wickedness
which the Narrative of CEVALLOS will exhibit to
mankind.—That Narrative has, indeed, given a
severer blow to the Usurper than he ever before ex•
perienced ; and taken in conjunetion with his recent
ingratitude and cruelty towards the Head of the
Rornish Church (who, however sunk in temporal
importance, will always have a powerful ascendant
in the minds of most of the people on the Continent),

Must render him uncertain in his measures, whatever
may be his views; and be can exist hereafter only
an objet of horror, even to those who are obliged to
make a shew of reverence, as well as to all who dare
vent those sentiments which such a combination of
every thing atrocious and every thing infamous is
calculated to inspire,
