PROCLANTATTON.

PORTUGUESE !—By Heaven, and by JEST'S CHRIST !
You have a Governor who loves you, who is anxious
for yourhappiness, and who will exert himself to obtain
it. What avail your turbulence, your excesses, your
want of that order and subordination to which he
would conduct you, anxious to preserve your livCs
What opportunities have you not lost, of which you
ought to have availed yourselves against the em my,
since you have neglected your own resottices ! What
signals do you not exhibit to the enemy, that he may
entrap and surprize you !--Portuguese ! Listen to
one who loves you. The French intend to strike a
blow, fatal :o you, and you are lost if you are guilty
of insubordination, or disregard the Councils of your
Governor. Your firing, your beat of drum, 'your
bells, give to your enemies the knowledge of where
you are, where your force, and where your weak-
ness. From your enemy conceal your power, that
you may strike the blow with the more success ; and
that you may encounter him when he least expects
your approach. By these means you may conquer
him. Subject yourselves to your superirrs in all
and through all, if you are desirous of victory—
otherwise, be assured you will meet only, disgrace.
From necessity, after this manner: the I.,ighty bull
yields to vigilance, dexterity, ard the little cloak. By
whatever is sacred in Heaven or in earth, by the sa-
cred name of JESUS CHRIST, the Governor implores
you, that you maintain subjection to your Chiefs,
conforming to the regulations of your respective com-
panies. If you are 'ordered to a post, there you ought
to remain until the moment of combat and glory
shall arrive. To you who are in the van we first
i commit our cause, and by valour diminish the num-
ber of cur enemies. You who ace next in order, when
your turn comes, fulfil your duty by dealing de.
struction around you ; and you who form the rear-
, guard, destroy the rest. Your energy must be
guided by intelligence ; you must be conducted by
wisdom, in order to be conquerors.

Long live the Prince Regent ; long live Portu
gal ; long live the Portuguese !

SPANISH PATRIOTS.

The proceedings of the Patriots at Seville are so
much-the more important, as that is, considered the
second city in Spain, and, according to the ancient
constitution and arrangeMent of the Cortes, it is to be
regarded as the metropolis, whenever Madrid is' oc-
cupied by a foreign enemy. The following procla-
mation from the Supreme Junta at Seyi4e will there-
fore be read with interest
