SPAIN.

By a vessel which arrived yesterday from Cadiz,
:tccounts have been received, stating that the plunder
found in the possession of DuPeNr and his army was
publicly exhibited at the Custcm House of that city,
for the purpose of assuring the citizens that such
plunder had been made in Spain. Among the ar-
ticks of plunder were a number of vases, crucifixes,
and other articles of that description, stolen from the
Spanish chapels ; there are also some bags of gold-
coin, teamed Napoleons, which were sent to DuPon,
no doubt, for the purpose of corruption.
Dt-roNT is confined at St. Sebastian, in conse•
quence of his misconduct ; and he is allowed twenty-
four reals, about ss. British, per day for his subsis-
tance. The confinement of this officer is ascribed,
among other circumstances already known, to the fol-
lowing fact :—Very shortly after he had surrendered,
DUPONT dispatched a confidential officer to JuNor,
advising him strongly to march into Andalusia, and
stating to him that victory wr,uld be certain, from
various causes, which were described ; and particu.
larly that should di,: main body of the Spanish army
be drawn away, in consequence of the alarm of his
approach, he (DUPONT) had the means of rallying
the French prisoners, and aiding the object of Juxoi.
The officer was intercepted, and his letter examined;
and the natural consequence was the immediate im.
prisonment of DUi ONT.

Spanish Papers to the 16th confirm the previous
reports of an attempt of the French to surprise the
army under General PALAFOX. It sums to have
been the intention of Marshal BESSIERES to attack the
several divisions which were marching against him,
separately, hoping by the execution of such a plan to
annihilate them in detal, and prevent the possibility
of a junction. These tactics have more than once
succeeded with his master ; but fortunately on this
occasion they were frustrated by the vigilance of the
brave leader of the Arragonese. General PALAFOX
fell back upon Saragossa ; and the enemy, in conse-
quence of a judicious movement of the Gallician
army, did not venture to follow him up. As far as
we can discover the plan of the Spanish Generals, it
appears to be their intention to act with the principal
part of their force on the flanks of the enemy. The
papers, as well as private letters, mention that a part of
BLAKE'S army, in conjunction with the Asturians, was
destined to enter Biscay and Guiposcoa, while PALA-
FOK, with all the force he could collect, was to press
the enemy on the left bank of the Ebro. As these
movements must necessarily be slowly and cautiously
executed, it n.ay be some weeks before we hear ofobe
final result of the plan.

wErmours, SEPTEMBER O.

Yesterday five genteel looking men came to this
place, and proceeded to the King's Head Inn, as
having arrived from Portsmouth. Afteridinner they
hired a pleasure yacht to sail round the bay ; after
being out an hour they discovered themselves to be
French Officers, confined the crew, and bore away
for the French coast. It came on a calm. They in
consequence took a small boat that was astern, with
which they rowed away, and gave up the yacht.
They were armed with pistols, and are supposed to
have broken their parole at Wincanton.

MANRESA, AUGUST 11.

By different letters from Ampurdan, dated the 7th
and Sth instant, we learn, that on the 6th, the Com-
mandant of that place, Don Juan Claro, took post in
the plain of Cato, in consequence of information that
la column of from 700 to 1000 French were to pass
that way, having under their escort twenty waggons
filled with wounded men, as+d proceeding from Sarin,
near Gerona, to Perpignan. He attacked and de-
feated them with the utmost intrepidity, and pursued
them, without giving them a moment's time to rally,
as far as Junquera. They fled thither with all speed,
expecting to Lind an asylum, but they met only with
destruction ; and not more than ISO of them effected
I their escape to Ilellegarde. The General's Aid.de-
Camp entered a house in that place, and, frantic with
j vexation at his defeat, he attempted to stab himself
laivith a sword ;
.and the weapon being wre-ted from
him, he threw himself from a balcony, exclaiming
j that he must inevitably be shot. Some of our brave
Ichampions, who observed him, shot him dead.

CADIZ, AUGUST so.

Yesterday arrived here a vessel from Monte Video,
in eighty days, to procure a supply of arms to he em-
ployed against the Court of Brazil, the Prince of that
country having summoned Monte Video, and the
whole of that district, to surrender to the Portuguese
arms. Not only was the bearer of the summons put
under arrest, but his master was given to understand
that his summons would be answered by 17,000 w..r-
riors.

CARRION DE LOS CONDES, SEPTEMEF.R 4.

The whole of the Gallician army is concentrated
in this place. It marches off at four in the afternoon,
and will continue its route the whole night, in order
to come up with the enemy. It is imagined that this
operation is taken in concert with the armies of the
other provinces, and that all of them were to in
motion at midnight.

MADRID, SEPT. 7.

There were at Tudela 6000 of our troops, and
16,000 armed peasantry, when the Arragonese Com-
manders received advice from the Chief Alcade of
Sorio, that 20,(X)0 French v-ere advancing, under the
command of General Moncey, to enter the kingdom
of Amtgon. It therefore became Necessary that our
troops should retreat to Saragossa, where, according
to the letters from that place, every preparation was
made for sustaining a second siege. The gate of San-
ta Engracia was the only point which excited any
apprehension, as it was in ruins ; but the utmost ex
ertions were making to place both it and Monte Tor-
rero in a state of defence. The advanced guard of
the Arragonese was within 'three leagues of Saragos,l
sa ; that of the French was at Gullar, seven leagues '
from the city. We were under some apprehensions
for that celebrated bulwark of heroism, when at one
o'clock yesterday M. Butron, Aide-de-Camp to Ge,
ncral Palafox, arrived here with intelligence that the '
French had retreated to Tudela. He further states,

that the people of Saragossa entertain no alarm,
should the enernyreturnwith double their former force.
In consequence of the advices from Arragon, a
Council of General Officers was held here ; and in
order to protect that kingdom, it was determined to
send off a courier extraordinary, with orders to Ge-
neral Blake to take an advantageous position ; but
that skilful officer anticipated the necessity of the in-
tended movement, and before the express reached
him, he had already posted his army on the spot fix-
ed on by the Council of War, a circumstance which
has forwarded the system of operations, and given
general satisfaction.

PORTUGAL.

Some accounts from Portugal state that the Pon•
tuguese army have taken a very menacing position
and have distinctly intimated to Sir HEW Det.RYM•
Pl,e that they will resist the fulfilment of the Convene
don—nay more, that they will consider any more
ment of the English army, with a view to facilitate
the embarkation of the French force, as an hostile
act. The boldness of this intimation is attributed to
the following circumstance :—General Jones, with
15,000 Spaniards, is said to have been, at the time it
was made, within two days march of the Portuguese
camp, which is within three leagues of Lisbon. Our
Readers will remember that CANTANOS had, immedi-
ately after the battle of Baylen, and surrender of Du.
PONT, sept a portion of his army to aid the Portu-
guese Patriots. This detachment is no doubt that
which is understood to be so near the Portuguese, and
to be under the command of a man of tried valour
and acknowledged skill.
The Conception has arrived at Cork from St. Übes,
which she left on the 2d inst. The master of this
vessel states, that intelligence of the aanistice had
been received there on the 27th of August, when the
people rose upon the French and put them to death.
But the people would not believe in the terms of the
armistice.

Queries.—Has not every person in Portugal, Who
has been robbed by the French army, a right to indict

at-um the robbery ? Have the English atiy,
right to interpose, for the purpose of averting from
the French the punishment due to their crimes ?
Would not the Portuguese, in such an event, have a
right to consider us as accessaries after the fact?
It gives us pleasure to be able to correct one fact
that has been misstated in almost all the daily papers.
The English colours were indeed hoisted cn some of
Portuguese forts ; but according to the statement
of Captain Ctrarra, who brought the last Portuguese
dispatches, only as a token of reconquest from the
common enemy. It is usual it seems, in such cases,
o hoist momentarily, the colours of the conquering
ally, and then to replace them by those If the right.

A RECIPE FOR A, MODERN ROMANCE.

In she dreary recess of a thick-planted wood,
Imagine a castle for age; has stood ;
Suppose, too, a pale bleeding spectre in white,
Stalking round its rude walls in the dead of the night;
Make some hero (in courage a match for the devil) •
March forth in determin'd pursuit of the evil,
That keeps the whole place in perpetual affright,
From the close of the day to the dawning of light;
Make some heroine a close-winding-passage explore,
Which (most wond'rous) has never been found out before;
While the rain beats in torrents, the winds bowl around,
And a deep sullen murmur breaks forth from the ground;
Let her lamp be extinguish'd, let one feeble ray
Of the moon through a chink in the wall find its way,
As it just for an instant escapes from a cloud,
Then let darkness, deep darkness, its visage enshroud.
Having grup'd in this horrible place for a while,
Let her find out a room in this half-ruin'd pile,
SVhere murder most foul was committed of old.
In due form and order the talc to unfold,
Let a worm-eaten trunk the apartment adorn,
(Containing some manuscripts mouldy and torn,)
An old table and chair thickly cover'd with dust,
A deep batter'd helmet, a cuirass all rest:
List a dagger with three drops of blood on the blade,
Al'a few inches distant be skilfully laid.
On her turning a key let the spectre appear,
While the heroine displays not a symptom of fear:
At thie solemn time let her lover attain,
By a track Which till now he has sought for in vain,
The mysterious abode, be surpriz'd with the maid,
By the lord of the castle pursu'd and betray'd.
Let the trumpet be sounded--thc drurn beat to arms;
Ahd the place be assail'd. In the midst of Marra
•
Let the Baroo be slain, yet confess ere he fall,
The dire fact brought to light to the wonder of aD:
Let the clock at this critical moment strike one,
Set the pile in a blaze, and the bus'nesa is done!

AUSTRIA.

Letters of the 16th inst. from I-Ismbnrgh state that,
since the late Message of the Emperor of the French
so his Council of State, Austria has redoubled her
exertions to increase her military force. The Go.
vernment has established a sort of patriotic conscrip.
lion, which extends to every man in the country capa-
ble of bearing arms. Nearly a million of persons of
this description are said to have offered their services.
There exists unfortunately a great deficiency of arms,
as the French empCed the arsenals when they last
overran the country. To supply this defect es far
as possible, proclamations have been published in
Vienna, and the principal towns throughout the Aus-
trian dominions, calling upon the people to make a
tempositry cession of all the arms they may possess,
to be used in defence of the nation.

Comparing these movements with every measure
of France, and with all the public documents issued
by 'hat Government, since its formal commentary on
the exposute given in the STAR oldie designs of NA.
maw: against Austria, can any person doubt, for a
moment, the correctness of the charge we made againt
the French Government ?—We shall, to-morrow, if
possible, lay before our Readers a Review of one of
these documents—the Report of the French Minister
of Foreign Affairs ; pretended to have been written
in April last, but proba'aly composed about the be-
ginniftg of the pres:r:t month.

assurances of the protection of the English Navy, in favour of ail
Spanish vessels going to Spain. This intelligence was not reeria.

fortunate one, for we were thereby prepared furlhe official la&

FROM THE SPANISH PAPERS.

•
opoßTo, JUNE 8.
By an official letter, we have received an account of
the following circumstances, which happened here on
the 6th instant : •
The Spanish Commander, at the head of Es
troops, arrested in this city a French General, vith
all the officers and soldiers under him. At the same
time, the Spanish and our own troops commenced
their march, and their prisoneis with them. It is said,
that in the possession of the French General were
found four millions of new crusades. - '

CITY 0 RODRIGO, JUNE 16.
The French troops which are in Almeila threaten
to force a passage through this pile:, after having
been refuse:l pet-mission to proceed by the Governor.
The vigorous measures which are made On that fron-
tier, have obliged the French to continue in a state of
almost total inaction ; confining their operations to
the destruction of a miserable village : and having at-
tacked with 600 Dtagoons two small parties of the
peasantry, which made such a spirited resistance, that
they obliged the French to retire with considerable loss.
It i; currently reported here, that the French troops
in Lisbon have been destroyed by, the joint efforts of ,
the Spaniards and the English, who quitted their
ships, and that General Junot is conducted as a pri-
soner on board the British fleet. This account is the
more credible, because, for four days past, Junot was
in Almeida, where accommodations were prepared for
9000 men, and it is certain that they have not yet
arrived. .:
[RN E 23.-IVc are already in a
.ileate. of-greater
tranquillity in !his place, in consequence-not only of
the seizure of the General at_Oporto, but because we
' are this day assured that the :Regent of Portugal has
met with st simil:'r fate at Lisbon ; and v)e 'mite ill

LETTER TO. THE LORD MAYOR.

44 M*10:409 • •
44 I have great pleasure in acquainting your Lord-
" ship, that by a Dispatch received this morning at
" the Admiralty from Vice Admiral Co4tNowadn,
" dated off Cidiz, -.the llth June, it appears that
44 the French squadron in Cadiz struck their Bag to
" the Spaniards at seven o'tlock in the morning of
tha: day, when the Splni4) colours were home-
" diately hoisted ou board them.
, " .The Spanish Admiral is about to embark for
" England on board the REVENGE, commanded by
" Sir Jonw GOILE, as one of the Commissioners for the
".Council of Seville, to his Majesty's government.
I.have the honour to be,
44 My Lord,
" Your Lordship's most obedient humble
sereant, (Signed) 44 M CLGRAVE,"
" To the Right Hon. the ford Vlayor,"

After the above was sent into the City, the fol-
lowing was circulated in the Official Departments as
a Bulletin :

" ADMIRALTY OFFICE, JULY 11,1808.
The Dispatches from Sir CHARLFS Car Tow,
clowti to the 14th of June, confirm the rpeirts of a
general spirit of detestation of the French Govern-
ment in Portugal, in many parts of which it has been
formally abolished, and that of the Prince Regent

re-established.
" By a letter from Capt. CREVKA of the Eclipse,
dated Oporto, 20th June, it appears that, owing to
the treachery of D'Ouviana, Governor of Oporto,
(now confined as a Traitor), the French were ena-
bled to re-establish their authority, which they main
tamed until the 16th of June, the day of Corpus
Christi, when an attempt was made to carry the

French Flag in tl e proctssiom. This enragel the po- '
pUlace to such a degree, that under the countenance
of the Priests, they rose In a mass, broke open the
Depots, supplied themselves with 94,000 stand of
arms, and together with the Regulars formed a most
determined and enthnsastic army. From this mo-
ment all French authority ceased, and every man, ei-
ther French or suspected of being inclined to the
French interest, was arrested.
The Bishop of OroaTo is elected Governor. An
Army of 20,000 men was sent to meet the French,
who with a corps of 900 men had marched within
• six leagues of Oporto.—The Provinces Tres Mantes,
Minho, and the Northern Part of Beira, have risen in
arms to the amount of 100,000 men, inclusive of the

force in Oporto. .
4. General SPENCER arrived off Lisbon in the.
Scorr brig, on the 21th of June, and after commu-
nicating with Sir CHARLES COTTON, returned to join
his Forces off Cape St. Vincent.
A dispatch has also been received from Admiral
Lord. GANintEn, incicsing a letter from Captain Dm-
sr, of the CossAcK, dated off St:Andero, 25th June,
by which it appears that on the 234 i the French en-
' tem:. the place, previous to Which, however, the boats
I of the CossAcx. and the COMET spiked all the guns in
Fort St. Salvador De Ano and Fort Sedrea, and
completely destroyed the Magazines, with 500 whole
• barrels of powder, and a quantity of other stores.—
The boats had just returned round Point De Ano,
when a considerable body of French dragoons ap-
peared cn the left."

The Emperor has ordered that the names of the
three soldiers mentioned in the above proclamation,
shall be inserted in the orders of the day of the army.
They shall, during a month, appear at the parade, with
a stick instead of a sword. His Majesty has imposed.
only this slight punishment, because these soldiers are
youths, and he i persdaded that they will take the
first opportunity of retrieving their character. Had
they ;been old soldiers, they should have been dig.
missed from the army ; for, a French soldier who al.
\lows himself to be disarmed, has lost that which is
most essential to a soldier—his hastier.

superiority, are now greatly improved.
One of these Cakes (price only sixpence) by the addition of wa-

)4- an improvement lately made by the Patentee,lt produces a most
brilliant let Black Gloss, and will not soil the finest Linen. It
will keep any length of time in any climate.

SPAIN AND PORTUGAL.

From Dutch Papers to the 24th, and Monitturs to
the 18th ult. we have given such details respecting
the affairs of Spain as are suffered to appear in jour-
nals published under the controul of NAPOLEON.—
According to these accounts, the disaffected in Spain
shew little or no courage; fly on every occason, when
attacked by the French troops ; and may all be soon
expected to be subdued, destroyed, or driven into
the sea ! One thing, however, deserves particular
notice. In the zeal of the various Editors to magni-
fy the triumphs of the French invaders, they have
unwittingly acknowledged a great deal too much.—
If the disaffected are so few in number, and so little
to be dreaded, how comes it that they are able to
shew themselves in so many places ?
As a specimen of the veracity of these accounts,
take the following: In the action at Valladolid they
state the defeat of the insurgents with the loss ofi
1000 men : We know from accounts less to be sus-1
pected, that in that affair the Patriots last only 113
men—the French 700 killed, besides a considerable
number of wounded. (See the STAR of the 11th
