THE CAIIACCAS.

[ln the Spanish Papers received by Ore Mail from
Cadiz, a translation appears of the Dispatch of
which we insert the following Copy.]

• BiIIpADIER,.ORN. LAYARD. •
. SIR, Downing.streo,,lune 29, at°.
•Your dispatch, -with its incinsures,' has been
ceip, d and laid'before the King. -
lam comniauded by his Majesty to express his.
approbation of your ,conduti in sending your. Aide.:
de-Camp, Captain KELLY, to this country with Lta
intelligence of, the events. which hare recently °G..
curred in the province of Venezuela:
I ihink it-is of the utmost. importance ,that Capt.
KELLY should return with as little delay. as 'possible
to Curacoa ; and that you shnuid be apprized of the
line of conduct which, under the ciicumstdnces stmt`..
ed in yoUr letter, it is his Majesty's pleasure that you
should pursue in his name.

The great object which his Majesty lias had in
view from jhe first moment when intelligence yeas
'received in the Country of thesloriousj resistance of
tiro Spanish' nation against. the tyranny and usurPa:.
tion of France, was to assist, by every means in his
power, this great effort of a brave, lopri,' and high-
spirited people; and to secure, if possible the hide-
pendence of the Spanish moni.rehy ii, all parts of the
worl.l.

As long as the Spanish nation persevere in their
resistance to their -invaders, and •as any •reasonable
hope eau be entertained, of ultimate success to lb&
cause in Spain, his Majesty feels it to be his duty,
according to every obligation of justice, and good
faith, to discourage any prot:eeding which may have
the effect of separating the Spanish .Provinces in
America from the parent state in Europe; the in-
tegrity of the Spanish Monarchy, upon principles
of justice and true policy, being not less the ob-
jet of his Majesty than of all loyal and patriot'.
Spaniards.

.• "If,.however, contrary to his M:ijesty's most anxi-
, ous wishes, and, as be still continues loithiirk, well
founded expetiations, the Spanish dominion in Eu-
rope shall.be doomed to submit to the yoke of the
COilltl3oll'en'emy; either in consequence of aaual
force, or of any compromise which-, racy leave to
Inert*, only the semblance of independence, an -event
. which his Majesty, relying on the Arica energy and
patriotism of the Spanish people, can in no degree
consider as.probable his Majesty tVill feel himself
bound by the same principles which have influenced
his conduct for the last two years in..the cause of the
Spanish nation, to afford every assistance to the pro-
vinces in America, which may render theM inde-
pendent of French Spain, may afford a place of re-
fuge to those Spaniards, who in disdaining to submit
to their oppressors, may look to America as to their
natural asylitm, and may preserve the remains of the
monarchy for their unfortunate Sovereign, if it evvr
should be his lot, under such circumstances,- to re-
cover his liberty. His Majesty, in thus explicitly
declaring the motives and principles of his conduct
disclaims:every view 'of territory or acquisition for
himself.

His Majesty observes with satisfaction from the
papers which have been transmitted to him, that the
in -
proceeding% in the Caraccas appear -a great mea-
sure to have originated in a belief, that in- conse-
quence of the progress of the French ,armies inolits`
South of-Spain, and the dissolution of the SuPreme
Junta, the'eause of the parent State had becomedesperate. He trusts, therefore, that as soon as the
actual state of things shall have been correctly.
knoWn in that quarter, the general acknowledgment
throughout Spain of the Regency, and the iirtre-
mined exertions of. the Spaniards in-defence of their.
country under that-authority, the inhabitants of the
Caraccas induced to return to their con-
nexion with Spain, as an integral part of the Spanish
Monarchy.

Hii'Majesty • is led more particularly to entertain
this expectation from the consideration that the Re-
gency now established at Cadiz appears to have
adopted the same wise and generous principles with
respect to the provinces in America as :iVere pre-
viously adopted by the Supreme *Junta, in establish-
ing the connexion between every part of the Spanish
Monarchy Upon.the most liberal tooting, in regard-
ing the American provinces as integral parts.of the
Empire, and in admitting'them in conseqUence to a
place its the Cortes' of the Kingdom.
' His Majesty feels confident that-the same gene-
rous and enlightened policy which has dictated these
-measures, will induce the of Spain to
regulate the intercourse of the Atherican Provinces
with other parts of the world upon such a basis 'as
will contribute to the growing prosperity, and at .
the same time augment all the 'advantages which
the Parent ,State may. justly expect to slerive from
them. - •

His Majesty trusts, that this exposition of his

- -
sentiments will enable you, without difficulty; to
regoldte your conduct in any iiitercOurse you may
find it necessary to have with the contiguous Spanish.
Provinces, in South America.' And as his'Maje,tv
has directed that a copy of his Letter shOuld ba
communicated to the Government of Spain, be can
have no objection to your making any use of the
avowal of these his sentiments Which eirCunastaoces
may appear to you to require.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1810; •

By the. Princess' Elizabeth packet., arrived it
Falmouth, froM Lisbon, Government' have
.re.
ceited dispatches from the Allied,
der Lord WELLINGTON, dated Alverca, the 23d.
at which date the bombardment of-Almeida, had mot
commenced. Eleven batteriermOnnted with • cad-
.. • •
non of large calibre bad been brought frpm Ciudad
Rodrigo.

We this morning received some more Cadiz..Pa*-
pers, and are nappy to find that the, intelligence in
general continues to be 'favourable. The flying co-

lun-ns.of the Spaniards harass the French in every
• direilion, and have even alai-Med the Usurper in his
Capital. It is stated in an article fiora Madrid, that
the Banditii had advanced to the very gates of that
City, and JuSEPLI was so alarmed that he gave-or-
ders. for packing the tapeStry, and all the-valtiable
movables of the Palace, preparatory to. a second
flight. The- same article mentions a rumour.thal
BUONA'PAIITE has it in contemplation to :Top
elan from Spain, to. divide that Kingdom into -four
departments to be governed by SEBASTIAN!, JUNOT,
SOULS', and BELLIARD, and to place MASSENA on the
Throne of Portugal. With. regard to the former
part of the report, BUONAPAILTE has it -certainly in
his power to remove JOSEPiI as easily as he did
Lewis' frotii.thp throne of I-161104, but with res.
pea to, the cffilaion of Spain, and fsving.ll,lAsszba,
the Crown of Portugal, we mist-begin-observe,
that he must conquer these Kingdoms first, an
..we
are happy to add, that that event seems much more
improbable at present than it has been for some

time past: The garrison of Tcrtosa continue to

make the most gallant defence; ttiere are, ,indeed,
some reports ‘hat the French have abandoned the
attack up= that I lace.
We have conmenced a&ive operations at Cadiz
,against the enemy. That excellent' °dicer, Capt.
COCKBURN, sailed on the 25tb August, the day be-
fore the packet came away, from Cadiz, with three
sloops of war, several gun-boats, flat-boats, &c. and
a convoy, having on board between three and four
thousand men ; bu; the object has not transpired.

We have seen a private letter from Cadiz, which
Oates, that such' vast abundance of, provisions and
live stock have -been thrown into that city, that:
although the inhabitants and the army, including
the Isle of Leon, amount to nearly 1.60,000 souls,
every thing was cheaper: than they .had been for
some years' before. Numbers of Americans come
in with live stock on board. •

WE have given in the ,first page a copy of-a Dis-
patch transmitted to the Lieutenant-Governor of
Curacoa, in consequence of the recent events which'
have taken place in; the Caraccas. It is a document
of great itnportance:, and exp Was, in the clearest
'and moit satisfactory manner, the liheral and en-:
lightened principles which govern the conduct of
la Majesty's Government towards Spain and her
Colonies.

Orders were on Sunday received in Chatham
dock-yard, to• expedite the.fitting of the 10mulic;
and Agincourt, t..;0 of the ships appropriated for the
reception of troops, as well as to urge the equip-
ment of all the line of battle ships previously direct-
ed to be got ready.
Lord- and Lady HOLLAND are preparing to take
their departure for Gibraltar, where they intend to
'remain till the Meeting of Parliament.
On Friday noon last a balloon, 33 feet high, and
45 in circumference,, was launched from the Park
of B. Ho‘i Atm, Esq. at Fornam St. Genevive, Suf-
folk, which ascenjed in very fine style, to the great
satisfaction of a numerous company i and aitet con-
tinuing in the air for about half an hoer, saft7ly de-
scend near the telegraph at Icklingharn, being a dis-
tance of more than six miles.

It is said to be the inteniion of the Irish Govern-
went 40 erect a chain of fortifications front Tartlet

of Galway.
