cit Junta of Observation for the defence of this
ailt constant in their principles to save the people,
lia t° avail itself- of the wisdom of every citizen,
be' received with pleasure every suggestion which has
Nll communicated to it. They are already inoomer-
, and the Junta gives its grateful thanks to, the
giy I°r'i in the name of the people, having already
- "5 snare the satisfadion to see their ,ideas
ttehalized.
The country is indebted to them for
ati°dBe services ; but it is necessary that the plans
kindPr°ieEts be simplified, and stripped of every
as- of forth, and that they should be as laconic
trio,ll°ssib!e, in order that they may not take up
sar-e °f the time of the Junta than -is neces-
atteY: from the various objeas that press npon their
theit'°°. This is no time to cherish prolixity, nor
'lige in- declamation ; and the Junta, moved by
considerations orders, that whatever project
be litin is intended to be communicated to it shall
pesse'd'°'Ple, and reduced to the
.a points or articles pro-
hisT being the most efte ual way to render
4ervice to the public.

w 111 the greatest attivity the means of de-
th..i numerous decrees hitherto is-

filed, it has made known to the public, by en
Edit% that navigation is free, and that all vessels
may sail to their different destinations, on condition
that they do not take rnor: provisions than what is
necessary for their voyage, following, in other re-
speets, all previous rules established for commerce.
They have seen, with the greatest regret, the
small assistance_ to the_ completing the ditch and
battery of San Ferdinand ; and 'in the Edict of
yesterday, again request the inhabitants not to put
the Junta to the necessity of adopting measures Of
severity. - •
The regiment of La Patria, that was in garrison
in this city, has received their complement of arms,
and the assembling the militia is very active for the
service of the place.

By information recoived from Lisbon, we expeet
eery moment 5000 men, whom the linglWi will
bring here with eight sail of the line : we.also ex-
pett reinforcements from Gibraltar.

The enemy, on the 7th, in the morning, were
seen in full retreat to Puerto Real ; and, after that,
in great numbers, they halted in the road of Puerto
Real, in consequence of the fire of our gun-boats.—
They, however, advanced under the shelter of
battery del Comercio, during which time they fired
with their muskets at our gun-boats, in answer-to
our cannon. We have not learned the amount of
the loss which they sustained.
Another division of about 500 men passed to: the
Exchange. on the same afternoon, with five pieces of
flying artillery,,who took shelter in the warehouses,
on account of the fire from the ship San Justo and
the gun-boats.
According to information that we have received
from Elpuerto and Xeres, it appears that the enemy
have not been able to repress their, true chara6ter, as
they iiave begun their usual atrocities, torturing and
persecuting the peaceful inhabitants.' This is the fe-
licity that they offer, and the unnatural children of
the country, who are amongst them, have the auda-
city to join in their atrocities.
Don Clemente Davila Barroso, Regidor Docano of
the city of Cartaya, in a dispatch, dated the flth
February, says as follows :—" With respe& to
news, I have to say, that yesterday, the sth, ar-
rived here, a Captain to the Supreme Junta, in
Ayamonte, dispatched by the Marquis Romana,
with- official dispatches from him, that his advanced
guard had reached Los Samos,. and that his army
amounted to 70,000 men ; news of great consola-
tion ; and 15,000 more can be colleted in this

We do not pledge ourselves for the truth of this
account, though we are inclined to think it is true;
and though it may not be so to its full extent, it is
to be expected, if they will come into Andalusia,
the enelDy will make a retrogade movement, to
i:aving their retreat cut off.

During the whole of yesterday, with short inter-
vals, we have witnessed the firing from our's and
the English gun-boats, with the ship San Justo.-.-
The enemy has not been seen in any one point.
According to letters from the Island, the enemy has
detached a. column of 1500 men to Chiclana they
say, also, that there has been some skirmishing upon
t4:road of the Arrecife, in which the enemy sus-
Wined sopw, loss. _

•
The regiment of La Patrii, or native regiment,
has gone to the Island.
By order of Government, several maritime advice
boats - have been established - East and West, for
the purpose of corresponding with the towns not in
possession of- the enemy. They are to sad Tuesdays
and Saturdays.

We have received intelligence from Madrid, up
to the 17th ultituo; the enemy has completely
united all his force, in order to invade Andalusia.
In Madrid has been left only 1500 men in garrison,
and 1000 at Tuledo. In Despenaperos they have
left about 2000, and a strong detachment in the
Carolinas. By the same advices it is known, that
they have received no succours from France, and
that General Blake is at Guadix, where he is cols
lecting a great number of dispersed troops, who
flock to him from all pans, with a great number of
peasants. Echevarri also colletis great, numbers in
the Sierra. We know be had a corps of aoo sharp-
shooiers of that country; with a body of troops of
the line, which have joined him.
