had no bread till yeSterday, . when about 4,000

tc ill lie entirely lost, if this treatment is to continue.;
and I must say, that -if any Vlicient me isures fbr

when they first received the -accounts of our di4-

There is this day,agani no 'mead for the soldiets.
I must, at the same time; do the late British Mi-
' pi-star-the justice to declare, that I do not conceive
this deficiency of supplies for the army is at all to
be attributed to any eaglet or omis,iionof his. It
• is to be attributed to.the poverty and to the exhallst-
ed state of the country ; io the inattivi:y of thell4a.
gistrates 314 people, to their di.inclination of taking
any trouble, excepting that of packipg up the r pro-
perty and removing away when they hear of the
approach of the enemy, to their habi'S of in,mbordi-

'nation and disobedience, and to the want of power

Translation of a Letter froth Don Martin de Cam to Sir -
•ArtLur'Welleley, dated Seville; 31sf luly, u 6.9,

Sin---When it was announces! to,,the Spanish na.
tion that' your Exbelltncy was coming to the Peni.l4
sula with the command of the trdops sent by his
Britannic Mejesty, •to our assistance, it .conceived
that, in the name alone of General Wellesley, it
beheld a presage of good fortune ;, and how could '
less be eipeded from the great General, who, as
often as he has fought'against the Fre6ch, his eith..l. •
compelled them to• fly, or has' reduced them to j
captivity.
Your Excellency has fulfilled these great expec-
tations, and has surpassed our desires in that me-
morable battle,- in which the possession of the bedrt jj
of Spain has been torn from tha,enetny, by the
overthrow of his unjust hopes. Our country begins
mite more to breathe on this day, after so many
affliCtions, and a-great shore of its salvation is due to
your. Excellency, and to your brave.soldi'.rs. •
The Spaniards have wept as' if it were their own,
the English blood, which was shed with such ex-
traordinary valour, on the fiehis of Talavera ; and

the State, in the exaltation c 4" its gratitude, does not
meet with ari,sqiinte express ais xtol a sa:Jifice
so heroic, nor does it con,:eiye itself sufficiently
powerful to cont,r the ineri'rd rewlrd.
Tt e St:preme Junta being however d,.sirous of
g•cring a demonstration, that In ry s. Iye in some de-
gree as an alleviation of its gratitud, at this moment,
his tesolk ed, in the name of the nation and of its
King Ferdinand Seventh, to nominate your Excel-
lency one of the Captain Generals of the Army,
with the pa,, emoluments, and pi,i,,essions
cutre-
sponding to this title ; and at the same time hopes
tha t your Excellency will accept the horses, which
it transmits to you, and which have been selected
from the su erior breed ot And ilnsia,, in order that
.they may contrib tie to your greater ornament and
convenience during this war. Although this tribute
is of small va'ne in comparison with the eminent
service which your Excellency has recently render-
ed to our country ;it still more so in proportion
to the wishes ot h:s Majesty, whiCh in this respect
are unlimited. But for hearts elevated. as that of
your Excellency, the satisfa&ion resulting 'from
great deeds is their greatest recompence. 'Nor is it
in th• power of man to bestow any reward, which
can equal the glory of being distinguished, in the
uorin, as one ot the principal deliverers of a great
a!,,1 generous people, of listening to their blessings,
and of meriting their gratitude.
This gratitude will be eternal in the Spanish na-
tion towards your Excellency ; and I, in their name

by the Royal order, to your Excellency, together
with tie sentiments of high consideration with
-which I remain,

30LEM QUIS DICZRE FALSUM ATJDE-AT?

LONDON,

WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1810.

The following letter has been received frotn
Paris, dated May l 4 :
" The fate of Turkey is, we believe, decided.
It is understood that a Treaty has been in contetn-
plation some time, and is now about to be executed
between the Courts of Paris, Vienna, and Peters-
burgh, for the expulsion of this Mahometan intruder
from among the Christian nations of Europe. The
Couriers that pass and repass continue very frequent

and almost daily.
" You have received, most probabiy, before this
time the Decree published here on the 13th. It is
not an unexpeaed blo,v, and it will be a very se-
rious one, considering tl;e immense quantity of Ame-
rican property in thii country. As to a ruiti:,afion
of its severity, you know it is rot to be expected.
" The buz respecting a peace lmween England
and France has, like other unfounded rumours, died
away, and we no more expell it 'now than we did
before it was mentioned."

We do not quite agree with the writer of the
above letter, that the tate of Turkey is decided ;
not because we think Turkey could contend against
the united force of Austria, Russia, -and France,
but because we do not b. ile+;e that that united force

cati be brought to ad against her, at eat in the

resent state of affairs. It is, however, very efte-
raly believe] on the Continent, that this pan is in
coutemLition, and it is said that BUONAPARTE has
been t,ery urgent in his requests to [het Eruperur of
Russia upon this subjeEt.

Yesterday morning his MAJECTY,Princecses
Av-
.c;us•rA and SOPHIA, took their rides horseback in
Win&or Great Park, till twelte o'clock, and after-
wards visited tip,: Princess ii:ArLIA.

The Princess AmeLIA had a good night's rest on
Monday night. Drs. BAILIE, DUNDAS, and POPE,
attended her 11.f)yal Hi,;irness on Monday evening,
the two former left Windsor yesterday morning.
a'he Princess remains much the same as on Mon-
day.

There will be a Drawing-room at St. James's, on
Yr)liday next, the 4th of June, being iris Majesty's
Birth-day.

The following is the Bulletin of this day at Mr.
'WINDHAM'S :
" Mr. WINDHAM has had a very quiet night, and is this
day not worse."

The door of the house is kept open, during the
on account of the vast influx of inquirers ; a
.circumstance which we are glad to notice, as it strews
the respect in which the teal friends of the Consti-
tution are held, however adverse they may occa-
sionally be to the measures of Government.
Dr. CHARLES f3ustsgy, of Greenwich, has been
appointed one of the Chaplains in Ordinary to His
MAJESTY, in the room of the late Dr. DE SALTS.
On Tuesday last was launched from Mr. THOMAS
GUILLAUME'S jun. ship-building yard at Northam,
Southampton, a' very beautiful frigate, of 36 guns,
named ilie iistrea; she glided into the water pre-
cisely at one o'clock, in excellent style, and to the
gratifica!ion a some thousands of spectators. Thgre
•is also building in the same yard a 74 gun ship,
named the Canquestador, which will be ready for
launct ing in a few weeks, which will make thir-
teen sail of men of war that Mr. GUILLAUME has
..built and launched in the short space of five years..

EXTRACT OP A LETTER PROM BIRMINGHAM,
MAY 29.

" No doubt but you will hear that an attempt at
a disturbance has taken place at Brittingitain ; in
order that you might not publish exaggerated re-
ports, I inform you that the riot began in the mar-
ket-place about half past two'on Monday, in conse-
quence of the high price of the potatoes, Is. 3J.
per peck. The populace threw them about, and
broke many windows; they also threw down and
carried away the stalls of the butches, and threw
them into the moat near the market-place, broke
the windows of a baker's shop in Edgbaston-street,
and from thence proceeded to a potatoe.grower's at
Edgbaston, near this town, by which time the
military from the barracks made thpir appearance,
and took fifteen, whom they found in the house,
into custody, and lodged them in prison, which
effedually prevented any further disbturhance, and
we are now all as tranquil as usual."

A meeting took place on Wednesday last at Hull,
for the purpose of voting an Address to the House of
Commons, on the subject of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT
and GALE JONES, and praying for their release from
confinement. The Chair was taken by the Rev.
J. H. BROMLEY, in the abs!-nce of the Mayor. After
the Chairman /had opened the business of the day,
Mr. DANIEL SYKES arose and addressed the meet-
ing. He went over the topics which have been
so often urged upon the subjed, but among other
remarks, that savoured too strongly of the semi-
ments of the Common Hall in London, he observ-
ed, that " Mr. LETHBRIDGE, who had first taken
up the business of Sir FRANCIS BURDETT, must
have been merely the instrument of Ministers."—
This declaration, after the solemn diSavowal of Mr.
LETHBRIDGE in the House of Commons, and of
Ministers, is such a breach of decorum, to use the
mildest language, as could hardly have been ex-
peEted from the person who uttered it.—ln the
course of his speech, however, notwithstanding the
avowed partiality of Mr. SYKES for Sir F. B.
he tendeily remarked, that he considered the
Baronet " as mistaken in his do6trines with
respell to the Privileges of Parliatuent."---
He then touched upon the worn-out subject of the
Waleheren Egpedition, Mr. Yorke's appointment,
and other thread-bare points, and produced the Pe-
tition, which was read by the Rev. Chairman, and
which, as the phrase is, was merely " an echo of
his speech."
The motion for presenting the Petition by the
Members for the town was then made by Mr.
SYKES and seconded by the Rev. TILES POPPLE,
who delivered lunch such a speech as the latter, and
the motion was carried without opposition, as was
also the motion of thanks to the Chairman.

Mr. HOWARD, a Sti.icon, then proposed an Ad-
dress of thanks to Sir F. BURDETT, which excited
such altercation as induced the Chairman and many
other Gentlemen, to withdraw from the company.
Mr. Howard then proposed to appoint another Chair-
wan, but the rest of the business was too disorderly
to require any notice.

It will be seen from the following extraas that
every possible precaution, both of a naval and mill,
tary nature, has been taken to provide for the em-
barkation and protest the retreat of the British army
in Portugal, in case of irretrievable disasier
" LISBON, MAY t 4..—Every exertion continues
to be used for the reinforcement of our army hete,
and they are daily impressing men, who are not al-
lowed as formerly to lie in prison, but are imme-
diately obliged to swear fidelity to their colours, and
are then marched off to the corps to which they are
pointed. C,tmon are also constantly sendinq to the
frontiers. It is very common to see twelve or four-
teen carts, with a gun and carriage in each, -drawn
by six oxen ; • we, ill common with our neignbours,
have been called upon to send elle, and sometimes
two•men, for a week tez;-ther, to work at the erec-
tion of the fists which are forming in every eligible
spot, as rallying points, in the event of the troops
being compelled to return. All these measures are
donnless very prudent and proper, but we should be
very sorry to see the army obliged to fall back upon
these forts, however formidable they mty be.
We are expecting morn= troops from England,
which, on laneing, it is soppose-.1 will form a re-
serve, and be quartered iu tile city.
" The transports here are divided into divisions,
with a Lieutenant commanding each division ; they
are stationed in different parts of the harbour. Two
divisions are lying in the Bay formed by the point
of C.silas and .Coinha ; and as they are all fine
coppered ships and armed, it has a very beautiful
appearance. Another division is below Belem, and
each regiment now has ccitaiti regular transports
appointed in case of need, and one: in particular for
the Field Officers, &c. of each. The men of war
are also formed in line of battle, with the small craft
in the intervals."

It will be recollthed that when his Majesty's
hounds hunted on the Thurs,:av in Easter week,
the celebrated deer, called the Hendon deer, was
so extrerhely fleet, that he was lost ; and although
repeated attempts have been made by the King's
Hunt•enen and Yeomen Prickers, with the hounds,
and frequently with numerous a,semblage of Gen-
tlemen, and they have been obt after him for ten
or twelve hours in a day, they could not find him
till last Saturday, although they heard of him in
diffeient parts of Buckinghamshire and Oxford-
shire. After several hours pursuit on Saturday, the
hounds found him in a snedl wood near East Burn-
ham, in Buckinghamshire. On his being started,
he spewed great sport across the country, neatly in
the same direelion as when he was turned out for
the day's diversion on Stock Common, on_ the day
he was lost. He continued the chase tpr upwards
of seven hours hard running, _Lking Ilk course into
Oxfordshire, near Sherborn Cat,:le, to the left, near
Benson, making a double back near Stoke') Church,
and was at length taken within fair miles of Great
Marlow, in Buckinghamshire. When he was taken,
there was only one Gentleman Sportsman, Mr. Teb-
bot, who was up with the Huntsman and Yeomen
Prickers ; every horse and rider was completely
knocked'up. Notwithstanding it had been seven
hours of the hardest running that ever was known,
the deer would not have been taken had he not got
entangled with a large hedge stick, which ran into
his shoulder. ,
