SAIN.ISH PAPERS.

Letter from the Conde DE FLORIDA:44OMA, Pre-
•adent of the Central Junta, to Gen.X. CASTAIJOS.
fter, some observations upon the expediency of appoint-
log a .Military Council, the letter proceeds :J. .7 • •

" The. stay of your Excellency in Madrid was
useful and essential, since from it
,have resulted the
formation of plans and measures moe.t proper for
carrying on the 'War 'agairist our. Eoemits, intelli-
gence of their situation, that of the forces your Ex-
cellency commanded, and the superior discipline due
in a great measure to the penetration and milita;-7
talents of yOur Excellency; and ultimately the
union of operations of all the armies, which happily
has been arranged during the continua* of your
Excellency in Madrid, and at the side of the Su-
preme Junta. Envy and detraaion cannot. asperse
'motives so pure, nor shade the merit'which in•the
present state of affairs your Excellency has recently
gained in the serviceof the Country,. and the Supreme
Junta, which knows it to be so, will give to your
-Excellency proofs of it on every occasion that offers,
and in those which it shortly eipeets, in consequence
of the determination of your Excellency to place
yourself at the head of your Army, which it
highly approves, since on that, and, on the ac-
knowledged military talents and patriotism of your
Excellency, the Junta has founded the.hope of the
quick expulsion 'of the enemy from our country ;
the nation waits for it With ;unspeakable anxiety,
and has placed its eyes on your Excellency, already
accustomed to similar undertakings. May God
preseriie your Excellency many yeari.—

By order of the Supreme Council we insert 'the
following .R.ccument, which,. on the 27th of last
Svp;ernher, was addressed by._ _the most.illustrious
-Senor Deacon Don I. M. I. NAV ARTIO, Auditor:—
" Mosr IY-LUSTRIOUS SENqn,
" At folio 33 of the pioceedings of the Council,
it is said, that an Auditor of he Council; Navarro,
presented himself; disguised, who had , gained
admittance into the residence of Senor Don .Fart,
I4ANDO the Seventh, and brOught verbal instrnetions
frcrl his Majesty, -limited to stria injunctions and
wishes, that it should follow a system of friendship
gnd harmony With 'the- French. The .6bligations I

day name, and the most important part of my corn,
mis.ion, solely with a view to the safety of my per;
son, subje& at the time' of its publication to

knowlecigineni, and I therefore entreat your
Highnss to signify the same ; but' now, a)-
-,
thotigh at the exrinceOf difficulties and. uncertain-
ties, I find myself in this .town free from all fear,
I .thank it' necessary that the public
,should know My
mission in itg fullest extent.

" I was at I vcnne with the other.A.ljuisters of
the Tribunals of Navarre, when the king arrived in
that City. The Emperor of the Fterich did not defer
many hours throwing aside the 'yell which hid his
mischievous Conducl: .he 'signified openly to his
Nlaiesty The. scandalous and unes.peBed proje&
of to ring forcibly from his temples the crown
of Stia,in; an() doubtless, persuaded, that, iii Or-

der to its ready accomplishment, it
.Was neces-
sary to straiten the King by every means, one of the
first that be put in execution _was, the interruption
of Couriers: daily were they divatched ; but the

out any further reason, through two pretests, un-
worthy of being pronOunced by a Sovereign who
. ,
• had not lost all respeCt for the morality of ca-
binets, and, that good faith which constitutes
the bond of nations; the first; that his -policy did
not allow of any thing else, since his person was not
safe while any of the 13-014RBONS, enemies of his
House, should reign over a powerful nation ; and
the second,- that he was not so stupid -as to negle&
an opportunity so favoorable as that which presented
itself ; and living a formidable army in the heart of
Spain, its fortresses and principal points occupied; the
persons of the King and the Infautado Don CARiOB
in his power, and nothipg to fear from the North,
. advantages too great to expe& they should occur at
a future time : that, with a view of gaining delays,
and drawing from them the greatest -possible ad-
vantage, a note had been sent requesting that some
person might be authorised to explain his preten-.
sions in writing ; but that if the Emperor should
persist in not receding, hiS Majesty was resolved to
lose his life rather than yield to so iniquitous a re-
nunciation. That, with this security and posi-
tive information, the .runta should 'continue its-
proceeeings; and I concluded by adding, that
having voluntarily asked. Don PEDIIQI CevaLtos,
when I took leave, of his Excellency, if I
should communicate any thing to the Junta on the
condu& which it was to_observe towards the. French,
he answered, that although the Commission did
not include this point, I might egy that it was
agreed, in a general manner, that ot that time.
no alteration should take place, _because that it was
to be feared, • from the contrary, serious conse-
quences would result to the King, the Infanta, and
as many as accompanied his Majesty ; and the King-
dom.would be endangered by manifesting hostile
dispositions before it was ready to throw off-the-yoke
of oppression.
" Your Excellency knows that with these or si-
milar expressions, I expatiated not only the whole
\flight of the 2gth of April, but also on .the morning
of the 30th, in which-his Highness the Infanta Don
ANTONIO desired that I should assist in the Sitting'
held on it, consisting of most of the Members of the
Supreme Junta, of all the Presidents of the Tribunals,
and of two-Ministera from' each, with the two-fold
objeft, of informing all of my Commission, -and me
with the news of the day, and other business which
Might be discussed, in order that I might inform his ,
Majesty of the whole at Bayonne, when I re-
turned on the evening of the 6th May, after con-
tinual dangers and apprehensions, which augmented
my speed ; and since it is proper that this heroic:•
trait in the firm chara&er of my Sovereign should
not be concealed, and the more so as it is confirmed in
the most authentic manner, brthe exadt fulfilment
and discharge of my mission in all its parts, I entreat
your Excellency and the Collodi, if not improper,
to order this paper to be inserted in the gazette and
Diary of this City.

"May GO reserve your Excellency many years.

CQRUNNA,'OCT. 13.—This morning arrived here,
under convoy of the Amelia and Loire Frigates and
Champion Sloop of War, a Fleet of Transports, con-
sisting of 140 Sail, having on board 13,000 British
troops, commanded by Sir D. BAIRD. It was ex-
peeted that the disembarkation would have coni-
menced to-morrow, but the Junta of this Province
having been dissolved the day before yesterday,
and the Supreme and Central Junta being re-
cognized it was thought indispensably necessary
to have the sanction of the latter before the troops
Were suffered to land. • A Messenger was sent off
for this purpose to Madrid Shortly after the Ge-
neral came on shore, and until he returns, which
will be in eight days, the whole will remain on
,board : 6000 cavalry are also expected ri•om Ent-
land. As soon as the Transports are cleared, they
will proceed to Lion to bring away part of like
English troops from thence, and when the whole are
Colleoed, they will.be sent to .the Army of General

BLAK a; as circuthstances mayrequire.
A general illUniipation for three nights, and pray-
ers for nine days, have been ordered through all the
kingdom, on occasion of the installation of the Su-
preme Junta': it commenced here last night:
We havea report here that CAST Nos is appoint-
ed Commander in Chief of the•Spanitih forces, ar,4

Colit/NNA, OCT. 10.—Private Letters from Pilboa
state, that on the t7th ult. and two fc4J9wing days,,
the French were occupied in plundering upwards of
twenty houses in that city, the owners of which had
fled, having been prosecuted. ZdiAssAßEpo, whO
commands under NEY, had signified to the inhabi-
tants, that unless all the fugit,4,es returned, the whole
town should be given opsio an indiscriminate plun-
der.,

On the 30th, between four and five in the morn.-
ing, the French began to march out, with the whole.
of their artille►y, &c. but suddenly returned, about:
nine, finding, it is said, their retreat cut.off.'

As soon as the inhabitants Learned their return.
and the cause of it, they instantly ordered away every
description of Vessels in the Harbour, in order to
prevent the escape of any of the Commanding Offi-
c,trs„ but especially MASSAREDO, against whom the
rage of the populace 'and soldiery is indescribable.
General .BLANE.i heart-quarters were on the 4th
at Quincoces, a few leagues from Bilboa ; but when
the last Courier left him, which was at two o'clock
in the morning of that day, the General was on
horsebaCl(., and the whole army under arms.

CAsrArros was at Logrono with 22,000. risen, viz.
15,000 infantry and 7000 cavalry ; PALAFOXj with
18,000, was advancing by Ronces Vallei towards
Fontarabia, to cut off the retreat of the enemy by
Irun—a reference .to the Map will shew what
foundation there is for the hopes entertained of the
speedy surrender of Marshal NEY and his Army.

SOLLM QUIS DICXItIL PALSUM ♦UDRAT ?

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 26, 1908.

Dispatches were this morning received at the Ad-
miralty, dated at Corunna, the 14th inst. They state
that on the preceding day 150 Transports, compos-
ing the whole Expedition under the command of Sir
DAVID BAIRD, under the Convoy of the Loire,
Amelia, and Champion Frigates, arrived in perfect}
safety at that Poll. The Dispatches were brought
by the liorvina.
The Troops under the command of Sir DAVID
consist of 13000 effective men.

Sir JOHN Mo6RE, as we-have already stated, is
on his march for Spain, 4Nitil_ 20,000 men ; and
we have reason to believe that the remainder of the
Army at Lisbon will be sent immediately into the Me-
diterranean, in Transpbris, of which there are more
than sufficient for that purpose; making a grand

army of at least 50,000 British soldiers, the whole
of which, we have no doubt, will be found on Spa-
nish ground early in November.

WE have received Spanish Papers to the tsth
inst. They announce the arrival of Sir D. Bailie
at Corunna, with the whole of his Expedition.—

In consequence of the dissolution of the Junta
of the Provinc,e, it I:lecatine necessary to send to Ma-
drid for dire&ions revealing the ,landing of the
troops. The Supreme Council have published a most
interesting account, given by P. J. M. J. NAVARRO,
relative to the events which took place at Bayonne,
immediately after the
,arrival of f&tIDDIAND at that
place.

The Armistice which has been concluded between'
the King of Sweden and the Russians, has been al-
ready seized by the Opposition Writers as a topic
of abiise against his Majesty's Ministers, and though
they are in a state of the most perfeEt ignorance upon
the subje&, they take upon themselves peremptorily
to assert that all the fault belongs to the British Go-
--vernment. It has been stated, almost in the words
of the .111Oni:,eur, that we have not afforded assist,.
ance to our Ally, and that our refusal to support him
wilt shake the confidence of-the few friends we have
left. This charge is made in the true spirit of op-
position truth awl' 'candour. The fa6.'t of Sir
JOHN MOORE having sent to the Baltic with a
formidable force, is not indeed denied, "but because
that force was not acctiveij'eniployed :in co-operating
with the Swedes, it is termed a ridiculous gxpe-,
dition:- The OPposition.Wfiters have over aocl

confess they are completely ignorant. With re-
gard to the Armistice, we have not at present suf•
iicient information before us to add any think te
the abser.vatioup which we yesterday. made upoti the
subjeit.

, The Gazette of last night contains a detailed
account of the aeon between the Sea/apse and the
Turkish Frigates, and also of a very gallant aobier*
anent: performed by the boats Of the .Poreapine.

It is laFtentable to see the Opposition Prints OIL
,employed in throwing refle,aiOns upon the British
Officers who were concerned in the Convention of
Cintra, _though:a complete investightion will 'Cer7". •
tainly :take place,, and the Public will be fully acr • •
tinainted: with -nyery circumstance relative to that
Measure. If any tradesman or artizan in the Coun-
try were to have his charaaer slandered by assertions
that he did not understand his business, he would
have a legal songe of redress, and his defamer,.
might be properly punished for their rnalevolence

,and one, to use

t,
,4,ltp phrase
,in an elegint technical Way, tvh6 is the
most perfect glutton in,the boxi,ng list. There were,
some few who backed Gregson freely,_ thl.-. sup!.
positoin that Crh could not hit hard enough to scat
his aklversary. The battle lasted 36 minutes. ' •

Tho,•grand, match between Crib and Gregson, for
a stake of. 50.0 guineas, was decided yesterday at,
MonlseV Hurst, in A. thirty feet roped ring, in the
presence of 'great' a number' of ipeaators.as ever
ass''mhled.ona similaroceasion..- It was made known,
nu Menday abernoon, that Moulsey wetild be the
snot for the grand ; and the sports of the
day proved abundantly diverting, inasmuch as the
b.„,"l'les between Crib and Gregson, and Cropley and
410h:her, were most admired specimens of skill and
courage:
T he.heating Gregsorpreceived a few months since
theat hands of Gully, spurred him on to be tenfold
s°lieitons 'combat, and on' ajor Morgan,
1115 former backer, declining to give tits patronage,
the Marquis of Tweedale stepped forward as patron
for.i‘ combat; againsi•Crib, who was backed by

enniPany.havine„formed a ring round a roped one of.
3° feet, the champions appeared and prepared
,for
battle. '-Gully and Gibbons seconded Crib, and Jinn
Bele4t and Richman seconded -Gregson. Precise
betting, as we stated yesterday, .was five to four on
Crib, but there were more persons desirous of betting
the ochfs than of takine. At' a quarter before one .
the combatants set to, and stria silence prevailed.

; whilst anxious solicitude prevailed to witnees the first
Gregson attempted it with his left hand at an ill-
judged distance, which, of course, fell short ' • Crib attempt-

2. Crib hit his adversary right and. left on the body, and
Pt away. Gregson followed courageously, but could not
Place a-blow, and in closing. Crib tell on his knees.
3. This mind. produced first blood, and first knack down.
Gregson made a courageous attempt to hit his adversary, who
got away and put in a very severe left-handed facer, the effects
bethich caused a constant effusion -of blood during the cern.
Gregson rather intemperately made one of his tremen-
!coin left-handed blows at Crib's neck, which forunately
eold only partially, or it was the opinion that Cribcould not
have come again. He however rallied and knocked down his
adversary.-.vi to ron Crib.
4. A smart rally was commenced by Gregson, but Crib
had decidedly the best of it, although he received a harm`
round hit under the ear. Gregson kept following, the other
retreating ; and this being a mode of fighting which Crib •
excels in, he dexterously managed, at every retreating step, to
put in a left.handed facer; and Gregson'S courage led him on
his face resembled a red mask, and he fell, apparently -
stupified. •
S• Crib, in making play, fell on a blow.
' 6* This round reduced ihe odds again to the original start-
dare
is distance in this round,. and a first
/it 'report juv ee
which Crib received from his adversary's left hand was
so tremendous, that he was glaringly abroad and stupified,
and had Greg' 's knowledge of boxing been equal to his
strength and ceuraec, Crib must have beeen beat out of time ; 11
oflatter kept getting away, apparently desirous of.
-n'stung the roun'd ; whilst Gregson followed, and, for want
of knoWledge, gave away this opportunity of winning the
light, by searring instead of hitting:however, re.
treated to the tones, and Was obliged to sustain another rally
*such to his disadvantage before he could close the round,
and he was bear off his legs.—Betting as at setting to.
e 7- Crie appeared with a hideous temple and head, which
he had been complimented with in the rally, and Gregson
'as bleeding copiously from the -mouth and nose. They
'here both hit to a stand-still in a rally—Crib was thrown.
8- Cregson made play, but again ill-judged his distance, a,
and Crib put in his favourite left-handed hit on the sore
''"'"utb; Gregson oat so much abroad and wild, that he
closed 'on his adveisare, and gave him a casual and heavy
cross-buttock.—Two to One on Crib.
•This round chewed very unfavourable symptoms, and
"iregson's friend- were alive to his -distress. His nature
'closed hint angrily to keep following Crib, who was at his
- Pine of retreat, and he was punished with facers in a manner
*lto rendered It doubtful about his coming again. He was
beat Into a state 'of stupidity, and felf.oll his keen without
the power of getting .up alone.—Three-to one on Crib.
fTo. Crib coutintrid his suCcessfuhc.areer until it required a
udge to tell which was the more fatigued. Both fell on their

tigue.
