A letter from Penzance, received in Town this
morning, states that a fishing-boat arrived in Mount's
Bay, reported her having spoke a King's cutter from
Lisbon charged with dispatches from Sir A. WEL
LESLEY, containing an account of the defeat of Gene-
ral JUNOT, and the surrender of the Russian fleet in
the Tagus.

We sincerely hope this intelligence will soon receive
confirmation by the arrival of the dispatches, as we
understand that yesterday evening the arrival of a
vessel from Portugal was aunounced to the Admi-
ralty by the Telegraph.

A Gentleman of respectability in the city received
yesterday a letter from the Continent, stating, that a
Revolution has been effected in Turkey, by the in-
trigues of SEBASTIANI, which has for its object the
placing of the Grand Duke CONSTANTINE upon the
throne of that Empire.—That Russia and France had
determined on the destruction of the Ottoman power
has been for some the general opinion of politi
cians ; but it is not easy to conceive how such a revo-
lution could have been effected without any of those
striking military movements which generally presage
such events.

There has been no fresh arrival from Spain for
some days, but from the present state of the wind,
advices may now be hourly expected. In the mean
time, the following document, which is now in circu-
lation in Spain, will be read with some interest. The
evils of the " ancient bad Government" are avowed.
This is most important, for it holds out a rational
hope that the efforts of the Patriots will not be pa-
ralysed or rendered fruitless by an attempt to per-
form a moral impossiblity. It would he just as ra-
tional, and equally practicable, when the worm-eaten
timbers of a large machine have, by some violence,
fallen into dust, to arrange again the confused atoms
and renovate the parts, without the aid of new mate,
rials, as to restore again the machine of a debilitated
worn-out Government, after it has been once over-
thrown by a political concussion.

Translation and Copy of a Letter from the most illustrious Senor
DON RAPHAISL THOMAS, Bishop of Santander, and Regent of
the Province of the Montaigr.es, to the Right Honourable Lord
Viscount CASTLIREAGH, Principal Secretary of State to his
Britannic Majesty.

" Cumßias, near Santarder, July 23.
" My Lord ! Having been appointed Regent of the Province of
Santander, and President of the General Assembly thereof, which
in :he name of Ferdinand VII. governs and defends it against the
invasion of the FrWb, or rather against that monster of all mon-
sters, Napoleon Bonaparte:
" I feel the utmost satisfaction in basing the honour in quality

of Regent, of manifesting to your Excellency the high respect and
sincere gratitude which. in common with all this Province,i owe
to the magnanimous Sovereign, of whom )our. Excellency
deemed worthy to be Minister, foe the frank istessiowse wader

I serous supplies tendered by the British nation to this Psissince,
by Major Roche, in his Majesty's name.
" Nothing cancontribu more strongly to cement the harmony
and amicable intercourse which happily now exists between both
nations, than such generous conduct; or can contribute more
effectually to shake off the oppression which Spain labours under,
owing to the artful intrigues of that infamous chief of robbers, as-
sisted by our anclmt bad Government.
" It will be a source of infinite ~ratification to me, and to every
good Spaniard, to see a cordial andreciprocal good understanding
established between Great Britain and this country,

" I beg leave to repeat, my Lord, my best acknowledgements
for what has already happily taken place, and to express my hopes
that your Excellency will encourage, by such means as shall ap-
pear most expedient, a commercial intercourse between both na-
tions, under the protection of the British flag ; and here I owe it,
in justice to the Commanders of his Majesty's ships upon this sta-
tion, to say that they have the strongest claims upon our esteem,
fcr having shewn every disposition to promote the intentions of
the British Government ; but, more particularly, I beg to have the
honour of reconunending to your Excellency's notice, Major
Roche, whose exertions in fulfilling his Majesty's gracious and ge-
neroui views towards this country have been unremitting, and
who, in tke frequent intercourse I have had with him, has conduc-
ted himself entirely to my wishes.

" Accept, my Lard, the assurances of my gratitude, resptct,
and consideration; and may the ALMIGHTY prosper all your Ex-
cellency's undertakings. (Signed)

" RAPHAEL THOMAS,
Bishop of Santander, and Regent of
the Province of the Moutaigne3."
To the Hon. Lord Viscount Castlereagh,
Principal Secretary of State to his Bri-
tannic Majesty, &c. &e. &c.

We u:iderstand that Count MATEROSA is about to
set off for St. Petersburgh. It may be conjectur-
ed from this that the Emperor AtxxmanEn is well
disposed towards the cause of the Spanish Patriots,
if not, the expedition of Count MATEROSA would be
one of peculiar hazard. We trust that the Count
proceeds upon something more satisfactory than sup-
position, and that Ministers, with whose concurrence
he acts, are very well informed as to the mind of the
Russian Cabinet, for should the French influence still
maintain its dominion at Petersburgh, Count MATE-
ROSA in going there is only taking an indirect route
to Paris, where CAL INCOURT would contrive very
speedily to dispatch him, as the agent of reldr, as
BONAPARTE, like all tyrants, denominates these who
oppose him. Certainly the Emperor of RUSSIA cannot
receive Count MArEito.A as the accredited agent of
the Spanish Patriots, without actually resolving upon
a war with France, or at least being *pared to meet
such an event.

Government have, we understand, dispatched a
Cutter to bring the gallant Marquis de la ROILANA
to this-country.

LUCIEN BONAPARTE.

That the prospect of events in Spain has become
highly alarming to the Corsican family, may be cor-
rectly inferred from the following fact, the truth of
which rests on the first authority :

LUCIEN BONAPARTE has applied to the King of
SARDINIA, and to Mr. Mu., the British Minister at
Cagliari, to procure from the British Government
passports for himself and family, to enable therii to
proceed, unmolested, to the United States of Ame-
rica.—LuerEN is flowed to be a man of considerable
discernment and ability, and the presept application
is no equivocal avowal that ho. considers NAPOLEON'S
power as in the wane.

A private letter from Rochefort of the Sth instant,
states, that several petitions were presented by the
merchants of that place to BONAPARTE, during Lis
recent visit, praying that the embargo might be taken
off neutral ships. His answer was, that he could not
give them a decisive answer till he had taken the ad-
vice of his Council.; but that it was possible, the time
was at no great distance, when he would permit them
to renew their intercourse even with ,England.

A letter from a Lady of rank at Petersburgh,
dated the 20th of June, contains the following re-
markable passages :

"Our Princess, who had the firmness to refuse an alliance with
NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, will speedily bestow her hard rn a
very near relative of the Emperor of AUSTRIA. The nuptials
are to be celebrated in St. Pctersburgh.

" We suspect that much has been opposed by CAtmitteowar
to this unipn,notwitlistanding which it will certainly take place.
The Fr..nch Ambassador fa ever at the heels of Ai.zl.A ta.—he
cannot move in any directit n'withoutbeing followed by the watch-
ful eye of this or some other dignified Frenchman. This has
Leen r:ivately remonstrated against ; the answer given by CAW.
LINCOO ELT is, that he acts in pursuance of the directiuns of his
Master.

" Much suspicion is entertained here, as to the way in which
our ycling Princess ALEIANDRIN A. came by her death. Our
established Physicians were deemed incompetent to administer
to her complaints, and no less than seven French doctors attended
her in her last moments."

It was yesterday reported, on the authorityofletters
received by the last bag from Heligoland, that dis-
turbances, or rather an insurrection, of a very serious
nature had broken out in the kingdom of Naples.—
That there is an abundant store of latent disaffection
in the population of that country, is beyond all doubt:;
that it might have manifested itself in the way stated,
is not improbable. No possible precautioni could
prevent the knowledge of what had taiten place in
Spain from reaching that country. The inhabitants,
particularly the Calabrians, have given proofs that
they are not deficient in bravery and patriotism ; and
actuated by such feelings, it is not unlikely that they "
have imitated the glorious trample of the Spaniards.
Another rumour was also in circulation, the source
of which could not be traced. It was in everyperson's
mouth, but its absurdity Would npi anew any one to

'oiro ,It was. no lesithanalTi- that AINOT had
brokdrup from Lisbon as soon as he heard of the
debarkation of the British troops at Figueiras, and
that he had proceeded by forced marches towards
Spain, in the hope of being able to effect a junction
with Marshal BESSIERES' army, of the arrival of which
at Benevente he was apprized. It is unnecessary to
dwell upon the improbability of this report.
Government, we understand, have agreed to the
release of the Portuguese ships, detained in this coun-
try since the period when Lisbon was first occupied
by the French troops ; but with respect to the pro-
perty taken on board of them, nothing has been defi-
nitively, settled.
