CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 25.—A very aaive re--
cruiting is carrying on in all the provinces of the
Turkish Empire. The Asia'tic Pastralicks. in parti-
cular raise a great number of men. The Turks

appear to have somewhat recovered from the state
of stupefaction into which they were plunged by
the late campaign. The Grand Srignor will place
himself at the head of the troops from Asia, cn
Which be has a greater reliance than on those from
Europe. He has caused them to be exercised fOr
some-time, and provided with arms in the Euro-
Pean model.

NAPLES, APRIL 27.—The King arrived here to-
day Without. retinue, and incognito. We first
learnt his arrival,.about five in the evening, by the
di,oltarge of einnon. The army will be augment-
ed by four tegirn-nts. The greatest preparations
Ire making throughnut the whole kitgdom for an
expedi,ion. Marihal PERIGNOW, the diy before
yehterd .y, revie- ed the 6211 regiment of infantry,
Which has arrived here from the Grand....Artny, after
a March of 50 days. Thi, regiment greatly ristin-
ellished itself iz the battles of Raab and W akram
General GRENIER, who was wounded in the last
campaign, is likewise arrived. •

ODE
FOR HIS MAJESTY'S BIRTH DAY, ►Bco,

I3Y H. S. I'VE, ESQ. P. L.

When loud the wintry tempest roars,
When dark the exhalations rise,
When dash the billows 'gainst the shores,
And sable clouds obscure the skies; ,
Cheerful amid the dreary scene
Hope looks abroad with eye serene,
,To happier hours when Spring again
• Shall shew her renovated reign,
•
And leadlng on the rosy hours,
Shall strew the teeming earth with flowers;
With young delight each bosom cheer,
•
• And wake to joy again the variegated year:

Or if it chance the influence bland .
,Be check'd by adverse skies awhile,
By Eurus' ruder gale, if fann'd, •
Uncertain April cease to smile:
When Maia's genial breezes blow ;
With richer dyes and warmer glow
When June appears, fleets every cloud away,
And all creation hails the animating ray,

Then from ambition's iron reign,
The embattled wall, the ensanguired plain,
The inmates of this favour'd isle

Look fondly with ex pedant smile,
To that blest hour when Britons sing
The Bk-thauspiious of a parent King;
And as the clouds of Winter fly,

When June illumes the genial sky,
So may the threat'ning storm that lowers
O'er wide Europa's trembling powers,
Like wintry clouds dispetsing, fade away
Before the radiant beasts that gild this happy day.
When the proud Persian vainly tried,

In impotence of rage, to chain the tide,
Old Ocean mock'd the impious boast,
And Grecia triumph'd o'er his naval host
Such Gallia's vaunt, and such the fate
That on such empty vaunts shall wait.

For while she threats in angry mood
Froni every shore our commerce to exclude,
Britannia's arms beyond the Atlantic main
Explore new regions of her golden reign.
And while each isle that studs the western wave,
Yields to her daring prows'and Warriors brave,
Her barks cominerCial crowd the azure deep,
Her fleets each hostile sail from Ocean's bosom

PARIS, MAY 27.—The town *and castle of Hostel-
!
ricil'constitute one of the most important fortresses
of Catalonia, both in point of strength and position.
The town was taken last January ; but all that could
of the inhabitants took refuge in the fort, which, on
account Of its situation en a steep mountain, could
not be attacked in forM, and could only be reduced
by a blockade. Measures were taken for complete-
ly surrounding the fort, and preventing the introduc-
tion of reinforcements or provisions. On the Ist of
May intelligence was received that the insurgents
Were collecting in. the plain of Vique, and Mataro,
convoys of provisions for Hostalrich, and that they
were assembling an escort composed of troops of the
bee, armed bands, and a great number of Somatenes.
On the night between the 2d and 3d of May, two
columns of the.:enemy; one of which was followed
'by-400 loaded mules, attacked the advanced posts of
the blockading army at break of day. - General Pa-
' Ibmbin on one side, and General Matzocheill on
the other,. succeeded by their 'dispositions in frus-
trating all the attempts of the enemy, and the .01)-
- stinate, resistance of the 6th regiment of the Italian
line put there to flight. The firing. ceased at eleven
o'clock in ifie morning, and the enemy were pur-
sued until night. One of their columns rallieci` in
the night- on the heights of Montenegro, and was
attaled at four in :toe morning; by Generals Pa-
. - .ornfrini and Mazttierielli, assisted by Brigadier 'Ge-
neral Augers- u. The enemy was overwhelmed
and again put to the route; but it was not possible
to cme up will the cdovoy, which hod timely
withal-awn to Mataro in the course of the night.
The insurgents lost from 1606 to 1200 killed .cud
wounded.. Our toss amounts to .157 ; Colonel Cotti
and five other Oil-jeers are wounded. -
. . .
After having thus rotscartieo in :he battlet Of the
' 3d and 4th, the etu.my. collected alt their force, in-
creased by the 2.1 Catalonian legion, Lae regiment
of Ferdinand, and a number of Somatories. Gene-,
ral Frere, who wa,\ at Bib,ll, received alders to a!-
•tack this corps, which was Marching towards '['or-
ders, but on the approach of our troops, it retired
in the 'direttion of Sanceloni.
The blockade was in the mean time contracted
to within pistel shot distance. The gr,atest vigi-
lance was' used by General Frere's ,division, toe
Italian division,'_ and DeVaiix's brigade ; but the
enemy would not risk an action.
On the 11th of May the tort of Hostalrich was
suthinoned, and the distress of the garrison was esri
dent from the Commandant's answer On the night
of the 12th, under co% er of a th (I fog, the garrison
came out of the fort with the most profound siience.
The advanced guard attacked our ceotitteisa one of
these was bayonetted, but the other discharged his
piece and gave -the alarm. In a moment the troops
were under arms, and pursued the enemy with such
celerity, that all the garrison were killed or taken
prisoners. Among the latter are a Colonel of Bri-
gade, all the Staff, 20 Officers, and 400 men, with
a stand of colours. The tort was immediately taken
possession of, where we found 42 large brass cannon,
in ex,:ellent condition, [vomited, a considerable
quantity of ammunition, but hardly any prof bions.
The capture of Hostalrich secures the tranquility
of all the district of Gerona,. facilitates the carrying
of provisions by land to Barcelona, and covers the
commulication between G,tona and the latter place.
About the same time (May I 1), the small Islands
and Fort of Las Medas, situate on the coast of Cata-
lonia, opposite the mouth of the Ter, were taken
from the enemy by a very daring' Coup de Main,
attempted hy M. Guigliot ti and Deluva, two Officers
belonging to the Ist regiment of Neapolitan ~light
infantry, who, with seven men only, passed over to
1 the second Mand where the fort is. The Spaniards,
confounded by their bravery, asked leave to capi-
tulate, although the post was ihaccessible There
were found in it some pieces_of artillery, muskets,
ammunition, and the Officer and his . detachment
were taken. This capture will protect the Coast-
ing trade. • ,‘ .
..
' It is reported that Lerida, a fortified town in Ca-
talonia, has at length- surrendered to the French
troopi, commanded by General Count Suchet ; that
9000 prisoners are taken, and that 200 pieces of ar-
tillery have been found in the works.
Marshal Macdonald passed through Nismes on
the'lsth of May, on his joutney to Spain.
GRENADA, APRIL 27.—8 y a Royal Decree, dated
Seville, the 17;11, the kingdom will be divided, in
resrect to its civil government, into 38 prefectures.
Each prefecture will be diVided into several sub-
pre fect ures.
By another decree, his Majesty has divided the
military government of Spain into 15 divisions.
The following letter was sent to the Governor of
Grenada, by the Officer CoMmanding at Lorca
,
" LORCA, APRIL 25.—My dear . Governor, we
have been here these three days. The Commander
in Chief entered .Murcia yesterday, early .in the
morning.; he has received a deputation from the
town. The gangs of deserters and robbers, ‘t ho
styled themselves armed, fly in disorder on ali shies.
The inhabitants of the kitigdom of 'Murcia, terrified
by the false rumours in c.rculation, respecting our
tfeatment of the peasantry, fled at our approach ;
but they are undeceived, and returning to their
homes
.in crowds. -This country abounds in re-
sources of every kind ; but it has suffered much
front the long sojourn of the,self-denotninated Spa-
nish army, and above all from the condud of the

tion was issued at Rotterdam on the 24th instant

BURGOMASTERSHIP OF THE CITY OF ROTTERDAM.

" The Burgomaster of the City .of liotter
dam having learnt, with the utmost indignation,
that yesterday evening, at the time the French sol-
diers in garrison here paraded in the great market-
place, and also .at the barraCks, a more numerous
assembly than usual, or rather a very great multitude
of people, collected, and that not only by their vio-
lent pressure, accompanied by the hootings,of mis-
chievous boys, was the exercising of the soldiers
very much impeded, but also that the result was,
that the soldiers were insulted and injured, and
that they were pelted with stones; a part of the
said multitude having followed the soldiers to the
barracks, from which they afterwards retired
" And that, in the mean time, one of the French
Officers, on the way from the-barracks-to his rebi-
deuce, was wounded in the head with a stone
thrown by one of the mob :

The Burgoinaster, being on the One bin
anxious that the said Officer shoutd receive that satis-

guilders for-the discovery of the instigator of the in-.
sults, or any person who took a pat t thereio. The
name of the informer shall, if desired, be con-
cealed.
" The Burgomaster takes this Occasiot, to warn
all and every individual, hi the, tuost earnest man-
ner, to abstain from socking together irvassem-
' thing in crowds in ijny place, or places; within this
this city ; and more especially- to- guard against so
-assembling at the barracks, in' the great market,
at:d all places where there may be French soldiers
or Custom-house officers.
"He further charges them, neither looks;

the loan of Prussia, and to tell them that they may
,rely upon the rel Itions of amity which subsist be-

Co"y of-a.. Letter from Sir Arthur Wellesley to the Marquis
Wellesley, dated Deleytoa,gth August, 1809. With three
inclosures.
MY LORD,

had nor received any communication from Ge--
4leral Cu'eSta since the morning of the 6th, (when I
saw General O'Donoghue at Peralela de Gat bin)
where I receive Ms morning from Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Roche a letter, of which the inclosed is a
copy.
I did not even know that Lieutenant-General
Cuesta had moved his head quartets ff-om the bridge
of Arzobispo, much less that any disaster had hap-
pened to his troops, even to the limited extent stated
by Colonel Roche.
About three o'clock this day, however, the Duke
of Albuquerque arrived here, and informed me than
French cavalry had surprised the Spanish out-
posts at the bridge of Arzobispo, by crossing the ri-
ver at a ford immediately above the bridge, yesterday
at half-past one; that the Spanish troops- had given
way, and that the French had possession of the
bridge, and of the cannon destined-to its defence,
and of five pieces bel-onging to the Duke's ditision,
-which
.were left behind. The Duke of Albuquerque
states his belief that the French were at Peralela de
Garbin this morning, where your Excellency will
observe that General Cuesta7s head quarters were
yesterday of ernoon.
General Cuesta has since sent me a message, by
one of his Aides-du-Camp, and to Colonel Roche,
from whom 1 understand, that the General had, to
the moment of their. departure from Mesa d'lbor,
'ten o'clock in the morning,, brought none of his
artillery or of. his carriages across the Ibor.
On this side of that river there is a high mountain,
up which it is impossible to draw ortillery, except
by the assistance of men ; and it is obvious, that un-
less the General had-saved Peralrla, and the positions
between the Ibor and that villa e, fbe Spaniards
tnutit lose their artillery, although they may hold
the position of the Mesa d'lbor.
I inclose your Excellency the copy of a letter
which I wrote to General OiDonougime on the 7th,
and of another which I have just dispatChed to him ;
but I acknowledge I am apprehensive that the Spa-
nish army will lose, or rather has lost its artillery
before this time. I can do nothing to assist
:them ;
and indeed, in any case, it would have been im-
possible for me to do do any thing fox their assist-
ance, excepting by persuading General Cuesta to
adopt early measures to pass his heavy artillery over
the Ibor. I have the honour to be, &c.

SIR,
An express has this moment reache I this place
from the Puente de At zobispo,, stating that the ene-
my's cavalry had passed the Tagus, at the Ford of
, (in what number is not stated) and
that he had established such a powerful battery,
against the Spanish one on this side, as led them to
suppo-e the possession of the bridge would be
m.iintainech The report was only a verbal one, and
the General himself who exatniutd the
did not detain him long, and from this loose inform-,
aliOn, every' thing is here in •mution, and the head
gum ten and troops at this place have moved off to
La Mesa d'lbor.
I am sorry to state, that the Duke of Albuquerque's
cavalry was found so unprepared that they could not
form, and tell back upon the infantry. Bassecourt
has asked for support, arid all appears here confusion.
We probably shall hear more certainly, to night the
8 ate of things, and I shall write again.
I haVe the honour to be, &c.
