By the CHEERFUL gun-brig, from Gijon, Govern-
ment have received a cenfirmat:on of the news ru.
moured on Saturday, that the inhabitants of Biscay
have at length taken up arms against their invaders.
The Junta of the Province have already assembled,
and are proceeding with the greatest activity. Their
first public act was the issuing of a patriotic ptocla-
mation, calling upon the people to emulate their
brethren in arms in other parts of the kingdom, and
to imitate the glorious conduct of their brave proge-
nitors who had resisted the attacks of the Carthagi-
ni.ir,s and Romans.

The Biscayans were in great want of arms and
military stores, but his Majesty's ships on the North
West Coast of Spain had given them every aid in
their power, and a considerable body was already in
a condition to take the field; and we may hope, that
it will not be long till they receive ample supplies
from this Country. Indeed, from the promptitude
which our Government has shewn since the first mo-
ment of the rising of the Spanish People against
their invaders, we have every reason to believe, that
already active exertions are making to send the Bis-
cayans every succour in the power of this Country to
bestow.

The rising of the Biseayans is an event of great
importance. Hitherto they had been kept from tak-
ing any part in the Revolution, by the force of the
French in their territory.-.by their being exposed to
incessant attacks by new bodies pouring in upon
them—and also by the influence that the Count de
MASSARIEDO, and other Noblemen, who unfortunately
favoured the cause of the Usurper, bad over their
minds. Their present conduct proves, that they must
be satisfied that NwrozzoN has not those resources
for which they had given him credit ; nor is the infer-
ence without reason. Was it credible, after the un-1
pardonable crime committed by the other provinces,
in not only refusing submission to his mandates, but
rising upon his troops, that he would have allowed
so many weeks to pass without sending fresh troops
to maintain his authority if it had been in his power ?
—They must even have ascertained that he had no
force within such a distance as tai be able to arrive
before they could have their own force sufficiently or-
ganized to take the field to oppose the progress of
the invaders.

The Spanish troops at Langeland will furnish a
most seasonable reinforcement to the Biscayans ; for
already transports are proceeding to the North to
bring them away, and it is extremely probable they
will now proceed to Biscay.

We have also reaion to hope that the Spanish
troops in Holstein will be extricated. Dispatches
have been received from Sir JA24119 SAMIARkZ, an-
nouncing, it is said, that he has intimated to the
Danish Government. that unless the 54100 men who
were prevented from joining their countrymen in
Langeland shall be released, he will immediately
bombard Copenhagen. On every principle of justice
the Danish Government should yield an instant com-
