ei have sent to the President of my Supreme Council
of'War, the following Decree:— , . ..
. Spain, elevated in one day to the aummit of glory,
which her . valour and magnanimity acquired her,
cannot. now, without compromising her honour,.
obserVeMUcli loege?with indifference the aggraYat
ed and hostile eels of the Danish Geveosinent, for
'• 'which that Government carnet p!ead hi justifiea.
(ion or excuse to the Court of Spain, the loss of li-
berty, and the oppression suffered on the part' of
't France.
One of the means by which the .French Govern-
ment took advantage to forward its designs, was to
send from Spain a part of the Spanish army, first to
Ha:nburgh, and then to Denmark, in which it was
evident to ;the Sovereign of'. that kingdom, • andsto
the French themselves, in' the war in which, they
i were engaged, that the. services which all Europe
I has seen (and which were to have been expeEted
from the discipline and valour of the Spanish troops)
and which were performed with so Much glory, be-
came an injury to thernselves, of *bleb theloss
of so many Men in distant regions is-a Manifest
proof. -
-"The moment that part of the Spanish army which
was in Denmark, got Intelligence of the 'notate re-
solution Of their Compatriots throwing off the yoke
and declaring war against France, they adopted the
noble -plan, examples of which are very rare in his-
tory, and abandoned Denmark, embarking them--
selves to unite with their fellow-citizens in their
-own country ; itO tly to succour their brethren, fear-
less of danger, and to partake in the glory which the
others had acquired.s:--a memorable instance of the
unanimity and cordiality of sentiment which reigned
among Spaniards, even when divided by so immense
a distance.---The Marquis of Rornana, who com-
manded that corps,. not doubting of the valour, the
constancy, and patriotism of his soldiers, assisted by
the zeal of the Officers and the common sentiment,
resolved to withdraw _with the greater p -1 of his
troops, re-uniting them in the Island cl Lange-
land, from which they were to embark for Spain,
by means of the efficacious assistance which was
rendered them by the English Navy stationed in
those seas. -
The delicate proceedings of the Marquis of Ro-
mano, and his care in avoiding every thing which
could be considered as an as of hostility towards
the Government 'of Denmark, and in maintaining,
on his part, that good harmony Which ha,s subsisted
between that Court and his own, declined the in-
dispensable seizure of some Danish vessels to carry
his troops to the fortress of Nyberg, which might
have proteaed their escape, and he -requested the
English Admiral to carry them across.
If Denmark had remained neutral during these
events, and had not opposed their flight, nor used
force to 'retain that portion' of troops, Spain, constant
in her system of delicacy and scrupulousness, would
not now have had recourse to strong- rneasnres to-
wards Denmark, nor would have broken the ties of
good. harmony and amity which hate existed for
time immemorial between the two nations, but the
succeeding events fully prove the ae.,ti%e,part-which
'the King of Denmark, - whether spontaneously or
by force, has taken, and continues to take,.M the
war between Spain and France.
Denmark opposed the retreat of. the Spanish
troops from her territories, and if she did not suc-
ceed, in detainiee, therh, it ought to be attributed
more to the bad means tCik en to oppose them, or
-to the exertions of the Spanish troops, than to the,
will of the Danish Court, which adheres in its
system of coalition with France, and blindly obeys,
the orders which are diC:tated to it. by the Emperor
of France. - .
One Hear proof of this is the refusal to receive
.
a Negociator from Spain in Copenhagen,
.and the
declaration of Count Bernstorf, that circumstances
did not permit him to maintain 'any correspondence
with SII3W/ 'D. Edmund. Bourke, the Minister of
Denmark, was at this time iranquii and respeeled.
in Madrid, and only departed from that capital,.
abandoning his etr.ployni,,:n6;, to folio-.v the Fretich'
in the monih. of July, •1808 ; which proves,. by
the most obvious evidelice, his attachment to_France,
and his renouncing -all correspondence with Spain.
The Declaration coitelOes with the usual Order
to' Ships, &c. of Spain, to attack those of Denmark.

" YeSterday, it one o'clock, the Spanish 'army
was attacked by 10,000 kritantly, 1,201) cavalry, and
nine piece.kof artillery. About four in the evening,
however, the enemy was 6)lllptlied to. make a

thousand men in killed and'wetinde,- a 2-pounder,
a stated of colours, a number ofinuskets, and several

The French army was commanded •by General
Marchand, and the Spanish by the gallant Duke del
Parque. The enemy was pursued as far asSatichon,
two leagues from Tarnarnnes. ,The Spanish army
remained during the night in their original positions,
while the French continued to retreat by 'the way of

JUBILEE.

Lisnorf, OCT.l27.—Wednesdu the 25th inst.-was
the anniversary of the elevation to the throne of
Great Britain of the immortal George HI. He
has now held for fifty years the: reins of that Go-
-verncnent, equally respeaable for his wisdom, his
power, and his resources. He is the third
Monarch, who, in that country, ,'has reached the
50th year of his reign. liovidence has with-
out doubt, granted him so extended and long
a reign, to check and • overcome the Chiefs of a
devolution, the most atrocious and most formi-
dable recorded in the page of history; Chiefs Who,
by their perfidy, audacity, and crimes, have subvert-
ed ti.e greater part of the governments, and have
threatened to do the same to the other nations of'

Europe.
With respea to the latter projea, however, they
have deceived themselves, thanks to the tutelary
angel of Great Britain, thanks to the immortal George
the Third, who by his powertul armies, his vast re-
sources, and those extensive triiAtis he possesses, has
called With The gratitude and Operation of the na-
tions he has succoured against the lawless and infa-;
Won; attempts ot France.
The popitioos, the btilliant 'day, was celebrated.
in this capital.py a salute from. the castle, and all the
ships of war in the harbour, 'which for that purpose
were decked with their various colours and streamers.

and by his peculiar attachment to our nation..
In the evening they all repaired to, the Theatre of
S. (srlos,whete a splendid eulogium was pronounced
on his Britannic Majesty,. and the battle ot Yituiera,
represented in a ballet. They afterwards repaired to
the National Theatre, where, among other things,
was recited, with the greatest enthnsiasin and ap-
"
plause, the tamous hymn of " God'save the King,
translated into Portuguese.
Portttgal, and all Europe, offer up their vows that

movement with the necessary order,. in a bro.

ground, suggested to him Ihe bold idea of effigting it
in the plain, although the enemy's force was much
concentrated in that oluarter,and although all the pas-,
ses were occupied by numerous detachments of caval-..
ry.'The extraordinary boldness of the enterprise struck
the enemy with surprise, and our gallant troops bore
down every attempt to resist. General CHOUAii,
who commanded one of the French corps, surprised,
fled naked, and left a rich booty behind; which,
'hoWeVer, our brave troops, convinced of the neces-
sity of gaining as much distance a's they possibly
could, left, nntouclred. The guides, mistaking several
timesohe road, the colur n. wandered in various
dire lions, but this circumstance, which might have,
occasioned the-total defeatofless valiant troops, served
only to throw additional lustre on this brilliant enter-
prise, because our troops moving continually in close
order, spread. terror and confusion through the
enemy's posts, killed from 200 to 250, and took
several firisoners.

At break of day OTONNEL reached St. Coloma,
and was immediately attacked by 2000 foot and
200 horse, who pursued his corps; but they were
received in such a manner by his gallant troops,
who occupied that post under the orders-of Colonel
MIL/km, that he speedily retreated to his .carap.--'
The Supreme Central Junta heard that extraordinary
allievernent with infinite satisfaaien, promoted Co-
lonel OTONNE4 to the rank of Major-General, and
ordered the Commander in Chief, General BLAKE, to
propose suitable rewards for the whole division,
which so eminently covered itself with glory, and
deserved so well of their country on that memorable
day. ,

Intelligence received from the head-quarters in,
Santa Cruz, of the 15th inst. states, that the fol-
lowing corps, commanded by Don JUAN XrmErms,
has taken from the enemy, in Segovia, 80 quintals

of gold and plate, chiefly stolen from conglats and
churches, and sent them to Seville. Our light par-
ties spread over the greatest part of Spain, harass th,e
enemy in every direaion, and laugh at his, taunted

superiority in tactics by moving off, whenever: they
fin,d themselves attacked by double their force.

from the Lisbon Diary of oa. 27.
On the 25th of this month, at .50',minutes past
nine o'clock at night, the shock of an earthquake
was felt. The people of this city, who have not
forgot fen the fatal catastrophe of the Ist of Novem..
•
bar 17:35, were greatly alarmed, and with reason.
It lasted but an instant., rand did no damage. Some
persons say, th4t they felt another about two. the
next morning;, but this is not generally believed,
as fear will- sometimes produce that effect on the

imagination.

more than 1000 men in killed, wounded, and pri-

ammunition -; one standard, a number of_ horses,

I have the pleasure to acquaint you that ad ac-
tion has been fought between the Spanish army un-
der the Duke del Parque, and a body of French troops
+Midi 'had advanced from Salamanca, under the
command of General Marchand, which terminated
in favour of the Spanish .arms. This affair took place
at Tatnawes, or its vicinity. I have not yet received
the details'. It, is said that the French lost 'in killed
and wounded about 'l9OO men, and the SpaniA•rds
only 150. The enemy also lost atwelve-pounder,,
their colours, and three, hundred stand of arms•

1 The other intelligence in these Papers is of a sa.'
tisfa6tory nature; the Spaniards seem to pursue with
spirit the harassing system of wartarewhich they havo
adopted, ancltheir attacks are in general attended with
success, We are strongly induced to hope, trom soule
articles which appear in these Papers, that we have
obtained a decided naval advantage.in the Meditei'
ranean. The 'Sev)lle Paper of the 14th states, that
an:obstinate action has taken place on the Marseilleg
coast, between the Brash and French fleets, in which
the latter were defeated with the loss of siic
ships of war,: and. all the Convoy ; the British,
it isiadded, lost tour ships. Another article troth
Seville, dated He- 17th ult. states, that a Cap-
tain who had arrived from Majorca, broug4t
an.account that the English fleet had armed there
with the French convoy. These aCCOUPIN; ate strongly
confirmo by a Gentleman who left Rotterdam on
Tuesday last. He says, that tw-o sespeCtable mqv
Cantile houses in that City had received letters (I'ol
their Correspondents in Paris, in which it was stated
that Lord COLLINGWOOD had intercepted a largP

convoy which had sailed from Toulon for the relict
'of nareelOna; that the whole convoY was taken, and
that two sail of the line and a irigate'llad been drivefl
on shore and destroyed. We stated some days 40,
•
that Lord CoLLINGWOoII was iu dally expectation 01
