SPAIN.

CORIINNA, SEPT. 36.

It is reported that the British Government has's*.
tified to the Gallician Junta, on transmitting the
500,000 dollars lately received here, that this is the
last aid which will be afforded to any of the provin-
cial Administrations. At the same time the assurances
%were reiterated of his Majesty's readiness to afford
every aid in his power to the Spanish cause, whenever
the Spanish people shall have a legal organ with which
his Ministers can negotiate, and can confer on the
emergencies of the State. It is but justice to observe,
that the propriety and wisdom of this conduct are
universally acknowledged.
PROCLAMATION To THE SPANIARDS atm rigs FRENCH.
(Circulated in the Spanish, French, and Italian Languages, in

Catalonia.)
" Spain does not wage war against Frenchmen; but she does
wage war, which she will continue as long as a single faithful
Spaniard remains in his power, against the Imperial Usurper—that
monster of irreligion and perfidy—that enemy of Goa and men ;
and also against his vile agents, who, by means of the most atro-
cious fraud, have led away captive the lawful King of Spain, and
seized the fortresses of the country.
" From this moment nothing will be undertaken against the
lives of any individual of the French army who shall desert in
Catalonia, and he shall be paid for the arms and horses be brings.
" Frenchmen! soldiers! fly from the cruel tyrant who drags
you by force into his armies, in order to shed our blood and sa-
tiate his ambition. The contempt with which he treats you is
so great, that in order to keep you more secure, be takes away
from you the most necessary clothes when you are within the
walled towns which be occupies. Come to us, then; you wUI
find in Catalonia an asylum offered by humanity."

In consequence of the agreement of yesterday, the
flith instant, made in a preparatory conference, and
by which it was resolved, that at half past nine o'clock
this morning, the Supreme Central Junta of Govern-
ment of the Kingdom shotild be installed (to which
effect all the Most Serene Deputies, present in this
Royal residence, amounting to more than two-thirds
of the number which should compose the Junta of
Government, who are mentioned alphabetically in the
margin, were summoned) ; the ceremony was observed
in the following manner :
The said most Serene Deputies assembled in the
Sacristy of the chapel belonging to the Palace of this
Royal Residence, and when formed, seated them-
selves on the benches placed on both sides for that
purpose. They then heard Mass, which was cele-
brated by the Most Excellent Archbishop of Laodi.
cea, Coadjutor of the Archbishop of Seville, and De- '
puty of that Kingdom ; after which the following
oath, which had been previously taken by that Pre-
late, was administered by him, upon the book of the
Holy Evangelists, to all the Most Serene Deputies :
" You swear by Gon and his Holy Evangelists, and by Jesus
CHRIS r crucified, whose sacred image you have here present, that,
in the employment and functions of a Member of the Central Su-
' preme Junta of Government of the Kingdom, you will defend,
and promote the preservation and increase of our Holy, Catholic,
Apostolic, and Roman Religion ; that you will be loyal to, and
defend our august Sovereign, Ferdinand VII. and his Rights and
Sovereignty ; that you will promote the preservation of our Rights
and Privileges, our laws and Usages, and especially those rela-
tive to the Succession in the Reigning amily, and those also which
are particularly laid down in the same laws ; and finally, that you
will promote every thing condusive to the general welfare and
happiness of this Kingdom, and the amelioration of its customs,
keeping secret every thing that should be so, protecting the Laws
from every evil, and persecuting their enemies even at the hazard
of your life, safety, and property ?—So I Swear."
" If you do so, Coo be your helper ; and if not, may he punish
you, as one who has taken his holy name in vain." Amen.
A solemn Te Deum was sting by the Community of
Barefooted Monks of St. Pasqual of this place; and
this religious act being concluded, the Junta passed
in front of the fine battalion of light troops of Valen-
cia, which was formed in. two files from the entrance
of the Chapel to the staircase of the Royal Palace,
and adjourned to one of the principal halls destined at
present for the sitting of the Juntas.
In this publiC proceeding, and among the multi-
tude of people (..f all classes and Conditions who were
assembled, the greatest interest and enthusiasm were
discovered in favour of Ferdinand VII. His name
resounded on all sides, together with that of the Junta,
who had just sworn, before Gon and men, at the ha-
zard of their lives, to restore to his Throne a Sovereign;
so beloved, to defend our holy religion, and our.
laws, usages, and customs. The opening of the
gates of the Royal Palace, which had been so long
shut, the melancholy solitude of the magnificent ha.
bitation of our Kings, and the remembrance of the
epoch at which, and of the reasons for which they
were shut up, drew tears even from the firmest of
the spectators, who performed the most affectionate
and interesting action, and the most useful in exciting
vengeance against the causes of those evils, and-a just
confidence in the subjects who, after incurring such
danger in so just a cause, neverthele.ss present them-
selves in as great number its is necessary to bring it
to a happy termination. Such, doubtless, is what we
ought to hope from the lotion and fraternal affection
with which the United Kingdoms are mutually ani-
mated. The enthusiasm and interest felt by the peo-
ple increased, when the most Serene Deputies pro-
ceeded to the g.-eat gallery of the print ipal front of
the Palace, from which the actual President, ad inte-
rim, Count Florida Blanca, again proclaimed our be-
loved King Ferdinand, and the people foll Owed, often
increasing their lively acclamations of joy, and the
affectioam by which they were inspired by a body who
Artie to fill such great hopes, which were thy more

properly conceived, in proportion to the dignified sin.
cerity with which the most august proceeding which 1
the nation his ever witnessed, has been celebrated.
The most Serene Deputies being placed in their
respective stations, and the President having pro-
nounced a short but appropriate discourse, the Junta
declared itself legitimately constituted, without any
prejudice to the absentees, who, according to the
agreement of yesterday, are to compose the Junta of
Government, in the absence of our King and Master,
Ferdinand VII. and ordered a literal certification of
this act to be drawn up, and directed to the President
of the Council, for his information, and that of the
Tribunal. In the mean time communications are
made to him of the last orders agreed upon.

AMERICA.

HALIFAX, SEPTEMBER 6.

For some time the trade of this Province has beep
almost at a stand, but it now begins to wear a more
promising appearance ; and should the Patriots of
Spain succeed in their glorious struggle, business will
fall into its usual channel. Our principal exports are
fish, lumber, and some West India produce, the first
article always finds the best market in the Mediter-
ranean ; and as soon as we arc officially informed of
the Spanish ports being open to British vessels, large
quantities will be sent off; one or two small vessels
have already sailed for Cadiz.
Our neighbours, the Americans, still continue to
enforce their Embargo Laws in the most rigorous
manner • several long petitions have been sent from
the Northern States, praying to have it repealed, but
their President is not yet inclined to give up his phi-
losophic experiments. We have in some degree felt
its effects, provisions having become scarce, but the ad-
vantages we derive from it are more than a match for
any inconvenience attending it ; and it is the general
wish here, that the Embargo may continue as long
as it has done.

Transports are fitting up in the harbour to take on
board t,oops and ordnance stores—the expedition is
to consist of 4000 men ; the destination unknown.

After many delays, the Expedition, under Sir
DAVID BAIRD, has at last sailed from Falmouth. It
sailed on Monday, and consists of about two hundred
sail, under convoy of his Majesty's ships CHAMPION,
AMELIA, and la LOIRE.

We may infer from the sailing of this force, whic'h
is probably destined for Spain, 'that the plan of opera-
tions now to be followed is arranged in all its parts,
and that the army which has been inactive in Po- rtu-
g.4l for some weeks, will now be removed to a scene
of action.
