SPAIN.

MEDINA DEL CAMPO, SEPT. 4,

All that is known here of the French is, that they
at present occupy Rioja, Provincias, Exentas, and Na-
varre, but not Tudela and its jurisdiction ; for these
have been entered by the Spanish troops of Arragon
and Valencia.
LEGO, SEPT. 7.

The head quarters of the Gallician army are at
Carrion de los Condes, and, according to the last ad -
vices, the first and fourth divisions remained at A gui-
lar de Campo. Our Generals, it appears, have fi-
nally concerted their plans, and are proceeding, to
execute them at ali points.
SARAGOSSA, AUGUST 21.

The following is an extract of a letter written by
the Captain General of .Arragon to Signior Don Gre-
gorio de la Cuesta
" The French army which besieged this place, and
'chich precipitately fled from before it, pursued by the
troops of this kingdom as far as Tudela, have also
Jliamefully abandoned that city ; and as that place
affords a secure and central position for the head-
quarters, not a moment should be lost in uniting the
Spanisk army, in order to prevent Navarre, Rioja,
Castile, and even Arragon, from being the victims of
the enemy's forces, which, I conceive, will form a
junction on the left bank of the Ebro, now that they
have failed in subduing the country on this side of
it. I therefore request that your Excellency will
give instructions for that part of your army which is
at Madrid to march towards Soria and Logrono, in
order that, by acting in concert with mine, already
united with that of Valencia, and the troops I have
been able to raise in Navarre, we may attain the lau-
dable and honourable object of all our wishes, which
is, the salvation of our country, and the maintenance
of our religion, and the rights of our lawful King.
" I am informed that a division of Bessieres' army,
to the number of 5000 men, were to enter Logrono
on the 19th. Their object would doubtless be to
penetrate to Soria, plundering anti ravaging every
place in their way, and then to return to Arragon to
unite themselves witk the besiegers of this capital,
and the troops accompanying their pretended King
Joseph. I flatter myself that. your Excellency, on
receiving this intelligence, will contribute every effort
in your power to prevent consequences so pernicious."
MANIFESTO

PUBLISHED AT MADRID BY HIS EXCELLENCY THE DUKE
OF ALBUQUERKE, BRIGADIER OF THE ROYAL FORCES.
Religion, our country, and Ferdinand VII. the
most amiable, but most unfortunate of monarchs, arc
the noble objects which have called forth in their de-
fence that spirit of devotion, loyalty, and patriotism,
which has ever constituted the character of true Spa-
niards,
whose silence hitherto has been the result
only of their obedience and respect towards the throne. j
Yes ! I flatter myself I shall be able to manifest to
my country what were the principal causes which in-
duced me last year, to petition King Charlc', IV. for
appointment in the army, which -left the kingdom
under the command of the Marquis de la Romani. ,
They were no other, in fact, th in that of seeing it I
subjected to the despotic sway of the most perfidious
and ignorant favourite that has appeared for a series
of centuries ; and remarking that there was no safety
but for those who concurred in his infamous pro-
ceedings, or who presented themselves before him in
the most disgraceful state of abasement and humdia-
tion.
" I was gratified in my application, and I accord-
ingly set out and accompanied the army in all its'
expeditions. But the instant I was apprized in the
Isle of Funen, where I latterly was, of the unexam-
pled perfidy meditated by Napoleon, the greatest
enemy of the human race, and the grand disturber of
the repose of families, without a moment's hesitation
I solicited leave of my General to return to Spain,
representing that as the army was then inactive, ray
departure from it could not be misinterpreted.
" Having obtained this permission, notwithstand-
ing my being in bad health at the time, the ardent
desire of taking up arms against the oppressors of
my country, supplied me with more than my ordinary
strength, and enabled me to overcome those obstacles
which, in so extensive a journey, and under such de-
licate circumstances, might oppsse my intentions,
particularly in passing through France into Spain.—
But, thanks to DIVINE PROVIDENCE which favoured
my upright motives, the fatigue and other inconve-
niences of the journey, instead of increasing my in-
disposition, appeared to promote the reestablishment
of my health ; so that on my arrival at Valencia, in
the month of June last, I was invested with the com-
mand of the advanced guard of its army, on its first
movement subsequent to my arrival, to proceed
against the enemy, and I have had the peculiar sa-
tisfaction to enter this capital entrusted with the com-
mand of one of its columns.
" If the present war had its origin in the ambition
of a Monarch, or the intrigues of Cabinets, I should
have conceived that I had discharged my duty by
my prompt return to Spain, and the exertion of my
personal services; but the preservation of our Catho-
lic faith, the liberty of our country, and the re-esta-
blishment of the throne of Ferdinand VII. the most
amiable of Monarchs, constitute a cause sacred and
important, that personal sacrces alone are not
enough, on the part of those, who, like myself and '
others of my rank, possess means which, opportunely
applied, render morc considerable and extensive
services. Impressed with this truth., and believing
that I am merely the admix :,:rator of the riches !
which PROVIDENCE has h,stowed upon me, I have
resolved to circulate in all the towns and villages on
my estates, and throughout my domains, this present
Manifesto, accompanied with a list of the rents which
I remit, and the donations which I make to some
persons in consideration of the injuries which they
suffered from the march of the French, and to others,
in order to assist them in supporting the common
cause. I expect that my example in this respect will
operate as a stimulus to all the wealthier classes of
people in the towns and villages dependant upon me;
and that, impressed with similar sentiments, they will
cheerfully assist me in promoting the interests of the
good cause, which has been as unanimously espoused
by the whole nation, as it has been vigorously sup-
ported by their aniformly characteristic valour.

OPORTO, AUGUST 91.

••1

We have infinite pleasure in communicating to the
public the following intelligence from the English
and Portuguese armies :

Copy of a letter from General Sir Arthur Wellesley, to the most
Excellent and Rev. the Bishop, President, and Governor.
" Camp at Ramahal, August 24.
. _

" May it please your Excellency-1 have the honour to inform
your Excellency, that the army under my command defeated Ge-
neral Laborde's liivision on the 17th instant, and on the 21st in-
stant the whole of the French army united, under the command
of General Junot, at Vimitra. The loss of the enemy in those
actions was, very considerable. I.ast night he sent General Keir
lerman to confer with General Sir H. Dalrymple, who conclud-
ed an agreement with the said General fur a suspension of hosti.
lities, until the conclusion of a Convention for the total evacna
tion of Portugal by the French troops. This agreement contains
nothing remarkable, with the excepti on of a provision for seam.
ing the neutrality of the port of Lisbon andthe Russian squadron..
Permit me to congratulate your Excellency on the approaching
conclusion of the misfortunes which have so much afflicted your
country, and to the recovery of which your Excellency's zeal and
solicitude have so much contributed. I have the honour to be,
with the highest consideration and respect, your Excellency'smoat
humble and obedient servant, (Signed)
ARI mint WELLESLEY."
