OPORTO, JULY W.

In the evening of the 12th, 64 French soldiers ar-
rned in this capital, taken by the courageous Students
of Coimbra. There were a number of killed and
wounded, and one stand of colours taken, which
was brought in tied to a horse's tail, to skew their
contempt of these wicked men, the disgrace of
Europe. These wretches were followed by- an im-
mense crowd, who poured out imprecations on them,
and ejaculations of loyalty to our august Prince.—
Notwithstanding their crimes, they found in the na-
tional hir.nanity, and in the recommendation of the
Officers of our rrin&e, that mildness which they could
not have expected, after the horrors, cruelties, and
devastation, which they committed on tl,e open and
defenceless country, in which the honour of that
nation which calls itself great was rendered as despi-
cable as its military discipline, so much vaunted. .

The regiment of Valer.ca arrived in this city on tfie
9th and 10th—it is composed of good officers grid'
brave soldiers. The military exercises, as well ai all
military arrangements, proceed rapidly.
The election of Judge of this city took place on the

OPORTO, JULY 23.--PRIVATE LETTER.

" Almost every day is attended with fresh advan-
tages over the French. A detachment they sent from
Almeida was entirely cut up, except three men. Al-
meida is now invested by the Patriots, who are com-
manded by General Sepulveda. Very large bodies
of Patriots are gathering at Coimbra, from whence
they will shortly march to the assistance of Lisbon,
where every thing is in the greatest confusion, and
where Loisson's division is arrived, all wounded by
small shot, which is the only ammunition the peasan-
try had to attack the French with. A whole com-
pany of the police cavalry from Lisbon deserted, and
are arrived at Coimbra, and brought with them many
French officers, whom they picked up on the road.
" We see nothing herebut soldiers, all animated with
the same spirit, and determined either to conquer or
die. They are as enraged against Frenchmen as they
are fond of the English. We hear nothing, as we I
pass through the streets, but " Viva England—.. Vivi
every Englishman—They are our friends, and we
wish they would send us officers and arms." We are
treated like Kings, and every Portuguese is ready to
do any thing to show his gratitude. There are stow
at anchor outside the bar, the Antelope, Narcissus,
Peacock, Eclipse, and Plover.

" It was said yesterday that Junot had been taken
prisoner on board the Russian fleet. We must not
let him slip—he has been guilty of such excesses, that
we must make him smart for them.

Sir A. Wellesley ; this would be a grand thing, and
be enthusiastically received. All the British officers'

Noble Inhabitants of Asturias !—What panic terror has taken

They will faze the danger if their Chiefs bid them; but what will
be their fate ? Will they return? Will they, if you reflex to

like victims unable even to help their...lves. They flail fall to

them with arms still more cruel, with implements of husbandry,
with the same which your arms are accustomed to handle, and
den you will shortly see the disparity, betwixt you and thou.
The cavalry and artillery, in which their principal force consists,
cannot avail them among you : all the rest is a contemptible maw,
I without vigour,-without fortitude, at the utmost knowing to fire a
musket, helpless and forlorn the moment you close in with them.
Amami! Take heart! You will have the pledge of Victory With

we shall entomb them among the mountains and yanks that nit.

I even the nearest to Castile, they will not experience the havock
of the artillery and of the troops that garrison our ports? The
wise ipositions of the Supreme Junta, the precise and appropriate
orders of the Commander in Chief, will they not repress the ins.

effects which the invasion might occasion? Respuctabk Minis.

FROM THE OVIEbO GAZETTES.
SEVILLE, JULY 6.

On the 26th day of June Seignor Caro attacked
Moncey.between Quarte and Mishua, villages situa.
ted at a small distance from Valencia, and obliged
him to retreat. The Spanish 'arms were crowned
with a similar success on the 27th, in which the Va-
lencians, sustained a considerable -loss, but caused a
much greater one to the enemy. Our General had
learned, that the enemy meditated an attack upon
the town that night, and to cover it, moved under the
walls. In fact, the French army began its attack at
one o'clock in the afternoon, the 28th, with a brisk
fire of artillery and musquetry, directed against dif-
ferent points of the town, principally aiming at the
destruction .of the gate of Quarte. He, however,
was received with such' vigour and steadiness by the
batteries placed in the town, partly on the walls, and
partly on the tops of houses, that on the approach of
night, he retreated in complete disorder to his general
quarters, situated between the two villages above said,
and defended by a battery advantageously disposed.
Under such circumstances, Messrs. Cervellon, Llamas,
and Caro, desirous to dislodge him from such a strong
position, determined that the Valencian, Murcian,
and thosetroops that garrisoned the town, led on by
their respective Commanders, should assault the
trenches from all parts, which they did on the 29th.
The combat was as obstinate and bloody as may be
expected between two armies, the one superlatively
disciplined, commanded by one of the greatest Gene-
rals France boasts of, placed in the necessity a con.
quering or dying, animated by a succession of sixteen
years victory, and farther protected by his situation;
and the other stimulated by the quickest sentiments
of Religion, Patriotism, and the love of Liberty.
The good cause triumphed at lasi, and the enemy
was sp completely routed, that from an army of
18,000 men, only 1000 made their escape. At the
departure of the post they were fluctuating in uncer-
tain movements, such as doubt, terror, and despair
may inspire, though at last they took the road of La
Mancha. The measures that were taken to break
down the bridges over which they were to pass, and,
moreover, 100,000 peasants in arms, from the neigh-
bouring districts of Valencia, who are in pursuit of
them, all render it almost impracticable for them to
make a safe retreat. If all the people of this great
nation were penetrated with similar sentiments, and
they manifested the same constancy in danger, and
obedience to their Chiefs, as these invincible Valen-
cians, we should evince to the whole universe, that
there is no occasion for resorting to history to convince
ourselves, that great virtues, directed by prudence,
operate prodigies against numerous armies, thn:ggh
supported by discipline, and by talents in the Chiefs.
BA.DAJOZ, JULY le.
A stratagem contrived by DUPONT, and contrary
to the law of nations, has preserved his troops from a
complete route. General Casrallos was preparing
to attack him with numerous forces, but discovering
in the vanguard of the enemy a multitude of children,
women, secular, and regular clergymen, drawn from

Cordo•?a, he found himself obliged to desist inityleig.,
ting so many innocent victims.
There are -arrived in this city Swiss and Portuguese
cannoneers, who fled from Yelves. There are at this
place only 403 men in garrison ; the remainder, with
General KELLERMAN at their head, broke up towards
Lisbon, which, as it appears, is threatened with a
speedy attack.
MADRID, JULY so.
By letters received from La Mancha through the
last couri.er, we learn, that the division of WEnr.t, has
been completely routed : he was going with the linen-
tion of assisting Duror., who it in the most critical
situation, surrounded in the vicinity of Anducar by
40,000 Andalusians. General FRERE, destined for
the same enterprize, apprehending a similar fate, did
not venture to proceed beyond St. Clemente; there
be was joined by 900 Men, the only remnant of the
beautiful army with which MorcEY expected to sub-
jugate Valentia: These fugitives are indebted for
their existence to a traitor, who has pointed out the
way to them for effecting their escape.

We learn from Lerida, that the Catalonians have
rendered themselves masters, by storm, of Fort Mon-
joy, with the loss of from 6 to 7000 men ; but they
put to the sword the whole of the garrison, in con-
formity to the laws of war in similar cases.
The present Government takes the severest mea-
sures to prevent the dissemination of the news of the
disasters experienced by the French arms, in different
Provinces of the Kingdom. They have, therefore,
prohibited with all rigour, all Diaries, Gazettes, Pro-
clamations, and whatever printed Papers calculated
to excite patriotism, or any indignation against the
family of BONAPARTE ; so much so, that those who
print, copy, tead, or listen to any similar papers, are
declared and punished as guilty of high treason.
The arrival of several Patriots in this city, with
the consolatory intelligence of the measures taken by
the provinces for redeeming Spain, has given rise to
a proclamation of the Ist of July, wherein it is com-
manded, that every house-keeper who lets lodgings
*shall put up a billet in the front of his house, with
the words, " Pasada," (Lodging-Hour:). That all
strangers arriving in the town, shall, within twenty-
foot- hours, send in to the customary register, their
names and qualities, with the places they come from,
and their motives for visiting Madrid. That no per-
son shall be admitted into any house, under pretext
of charity, without the above precautions being atten-
ded to ; and heavy penalties are threatened upon
those who contravene them.

OV:EDO, JULY 29.
SITTINGS OF THE SCPRED•F JIVTA OF THE 24T11 JULY.

It is agreed that all persor.s who have made loans
or donations of money or property to the Government
of Seville, shall receive an acknowledgment for their
said ad: antes. Those belonging to the Army Ttea-
sury are authorised to issue these legal documents,
without producing which, the Supreme Junta an-
nounces to the public, that no person can expeet Pe•
payment or restoration of their property%
Juts 25.—The result of the deliberations of the
Junta this day, is an incontestible proof of the princi,
pies of benificence and justice adopted by the Supreme
Junta. They have determined to sk:cpend the contri-
butions established by the tesolutions of the ilst, and
to pay cif immediately the forced and voluntary loans
levied in virtue thereof, with the ten millions sent
from England.
In the mean time they declare that the sequestra-
tion laid upon the rents of those proprietors who re-
side out of the principality of the Asturias, shall only
extend to those who live in countries, or among peo-
ple who do not make common cause with us,
_ .

It is resolved to admit into our army all the Offi-
cers aiid Cadets who have served in the Castilian
Army, commanded by his Excellency Don GREGORY°
de la CUESIA.

JULY 26.—The muskets, arms, and ammunition,
now in this City, have been distributed to the points
of defence, as arranged in circular orders by his Ex-
cellency the Captain General.
There has been established a plan of economy for the
maintaining of the troops of the army, which will be
under the direction of persons of the greatest respect-
ability and probity, chosen from the secular and eccle-
siastical orders indiscriminately.

Dutch papers of the '2Bth and letters of the '29th
ult. have arrived. The letters state that a number of
gun-boats and troops have been ordered to proceed
with every possible dispatch up the •Rhine. The con-
scri;:ts, in all the diAricts subject to France along that
.-Iver, are said to have refused to March. Indeed, an
abs,ilute revolt upon the subject is stated to have
taken place in several or the states comprehended in
the Ccnfederation of the Rhine.
These letters also state that fresh measures of ri-
gour have been adopted against the American 'vessels
In the i;orts of France and Holland, a new tlnbari,ro

hating been laid on all such as had touched at
Neigh ports; its eonsequence of a mandate received
from INiAroLsom himself at Bayonne:
The printed journals contain no intelligente respict.
mug Spain, but a sirPple statement that Peace is re-
stored at Madrid, and that King JObErli was sere-
naded at St. Sebastian's.

The papers present some intelligence respecting
Mortar, the Grand Duke of Berg, which completely
contradicts the reports of his having been disgraced.
On the contrary, he is to succeed to the Throne of
Naples, rendered vacant by the promotion of King
Josern to the Throne of Spain.—Whether the Duchy
of Berg is still to remain in his hands, or be conferred
on another, is not stated.

A Ploclamation from the Junta who conduct the
administration of Tuscany informs the inhabitants of
that country, that they are to possess the honour of
being " adopted" into the great family " of Napo-
LEON the Great ;" in other words, are to be united to
the kingdom of Italy, and to be " saluted by the
French as brothers." Our Readers will tecollrathat
the Queen of ETRURIA is at present in the hands of
BONAPARTE, who is, in thii very Proclamation, which
robs her of her dominions, styled the " Protector of
religion and morality."
