The Lady Nepean packet, arrived at tiatwich from
Cottenbuvgh, passed through the Transports under
Sir JoliN MOORE off the Dogger Bank on their way
to this country.

In the greater part of yesterday's impression, we
give the following statement—“ That an Officer
-Who had come hone in the BITTERN had brought ac-
counts that before he left Vigo on the 2d instant, in,
telligence had been received to the following effect :
—That.D,PON T, with 14,000 men, after passing the
Sierra Morena, had stationed hirnself at Cordova.
There the patriots, 10,000 in number, attacked him.
The battle was sharp, and the patriots fought gal-
lantly, but they_ were worsted, and lost about 1000
men. They returned with undihninished courage,
and with augmented force, between thirty and forty
thousand .men, and made a second attack upon Du-
PONT, who was very strongly entrenched. The battle
was most sanguinary, and no quarter was given on
either side. The slaughter was consequently great; 1
9000 fell the side cf the patriots, but they were'
finally victorious ; and the account states that the
whole French force were annihilated I"
The defeat orate Patriots in tbefirst action alluded
to above occasioned the following Publications by the
Supreme Junta :

His Majesty's ship BITTERN arrived here last
evening, having on board a Turkish Ambassador with
an oder of Peace from that ccnntry. It is.a enricus
nircum:tance that the BITTERN fell in with the frigate
on bcrard of which was Mr. ADAIR, who wasgoing on

" Late last evening arrived here the Birrmur sloop
of war, of 18 guns, Capt. Usittn, froth Malta, Gib-:,
raltar, and Vigo, witli-dispatches of very great an.
portance for Government t after the usual quainntine
precautions,' the dispatches were landed, as alio the

and Capt. Unite, of the. &wrests, who are gone off
for London. They sailed from Malta seven weeks
iince, and the Ambassadors are said to be in posses-
sion of Preliminaries from the Turkish Coart, for
:Peace with this country. It so fortimately happened,
i'as the BITTERN came through the Bay of Biscay, that
she fell in with the H.TrEltiON, of 32 gusts, on her
outward voyage to Malta, on board which was Mr.
-Anent and his suite, who is on an embassy to Tur-
:key ; and after the Ambassadors had explained to
each other the nature of their mission, Mr. ADAIR
considered it of importance to send back his Secre-
tary by the BITTERN, for further instructions front
his Government, and he proceeded on his voyage to
Malta : when the Ambassadors s'ese landed, a salute
of ? 7 guis were fired frOrif the BITTERN. She called
off Cadiz about three weeks since, and brings a con-
firmation of the French men of war in that harbour
being in possession of the Spaniards, and it is said
that the Fyench Admiral was badly wounded before
he struck his colours, and since dead of his wounds.
" They also bring a confirmation of the suceess of
the Patriots in their several actions against the French
intruders; and that the corps under the command of
Generals Dupont, Monsey, and Lefevre, have Mott
cut to pieces. The Spaniards are described as being
wrought up to a pitch of phrenzy ; and that such is
their indignation and hatred of the French, that the
women, as well as men, are armed against them.
" It is also reported, that the Russian fleet in the
Tagus have given themselves up to the Portuguese."

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM AN OFFICER ON BOARD
THE BRITISH FLEET.
Cascayei Bay, off the Tagus, 25:h June.
" We have been for some days in high expectation of great
events taking place here. Yesterday General Spin cza, with two
of his Officers, came up from the Southward in the Scout, and re-
turned again in the evening.
" Report says, that the Council held by Sir Cnaatts Gwynn!,
RearAcitssiral OrwAV, and the Captains of the fleet, vith Gene;
rat &renege, bed decided that.his force (5000), which he left off
St. Vincent's, was too small to make any impression here, and that
he returned with them to Cadiz. The spreading of this repott
may be a ruse de gtierre, because Oporto is open, and would re-
ceive him with open arms; nay, such is said to he the state of
things everywhere in Portugal, from the influence of the Spanish
patriotism, that on the adoption of this system, evesshis anal! force
would soon multiply itself tenfold, and,
.by directing the spirit of ,
the country, overwhelm J u trbr, who, since making prisoners of
the Spanish troops (6000 in number), is incessantly employed in
strengtheping his positions, and concentrating his force, which,
from the hest accounts we can collect, is said to be 10,000 French,
two regiments.of them well appointed horse-artillery, and 9560
Hanoverian and Italians. His detachments in the neighbourhood
make a total of 16,000 mcn."

The following letter from a -naval Officer was re-
ceived in Gloucester last Saturday :
" Royal Sovereign, off Minorca, June 2,1908.
" The Spaniards in the islands of Minorca and Majorca are
excir_dlrgly discOntented. A French General arrived in the for-
mer island last week, in order to ascertain the ;nib& feeling with
respect to the new state of things in Spain; but his visit
perated the people to such a degree, that he thought it prndointo
make a hasty retreat to the Continent. Soon afterwards 'ln tgt•
ceived a letter from the CaptaimGeneral of Malorra, expensing
a wish to place the two islands, garrisons, and the fleet in Port
Mahon• under the protection of Great Britain. We Immediately
dispatched a frigate with our reply, which was in substance, that
we felt most ready to enter into any arrangements the Captain-
General might make for putting the islands, garrisons, and fleet►
under our protection, in tyre name of the King of Spain, until a
general peace. We haie not yet had a farther communication.

FROM MI SEVILLE GAzErrr, JUNE 8, 1804.
Comments upon the letter of his Majesty tbf.Ern.
petor of the French, Sing of Italy, to our LcuflgAg
Ferdinand. VlL:in which he acknowledges hint ally
as Prince of Asturias.
In these Comments, my intention is to MaliOnhaina,
the opinion of all Spain upon the ptesiiitt -Oetit..oraf-
fairs. A nation, entitled to the highest raid -ity her
loyalty and valour, after suffering, under theidninie
stration of an inept and. vile favourite, all the bowers
of an age of tyranny, apprehensive lest the Crown
should be transferred to him, the lawful and beloved
heir being excluded, is exerting herself to break,,hcr
fetters, and to secure the succession to her Prinee„.by
putting the reins of Government into his hands.—
Charles IV. then resigns the Crown in favour,of his
But our neighbour and ally, whose troops hap-
'pen to occupy Portugal and Spain, lays hold of th:‘i
opportunity; and, under colour of preventing llopt
lilt commotion., affects toss:tertian the legitimacy it
thistbdicatien of CharlerlV. draws Ferdinand into
hisOWn States, causes his troops to mate themselves
masters of the favourite who bud been confined and
delivered up to the rigour of the laws, collects the
whole Royal Family at Bayonne, and restoresCbarles
to the Throne, next to compel him to give it up by
fresh resignation, not only in his name, 'but also is
that of his sons and brother ; which resignation is note'
made in favour of any of 1112 Members.of the Royal
House of Bourbon, but in behalf of the tery as,
ho held them its his power.
Such are the fauns. I have brought them together,i
that the Readier may easily compare them, and, from;
this comparison, sicduce the following obvious
cost-
sequence: the Emperor of the French kw resolved wpm
outfit hinitelf master of Spain ; for which parpote, he
has degraded and oppressed our Government.
The Letter, which we are going to analyse, was
a powerful means to entice FERDINAND to Bayonne.
He concludes it, by mentioning the inward
,trit_ggl.
of his various ideas, which want to k fined, ailikhlawid,
to reconcile every thing. At all event:, says W`% ear;
deal with you, at I have done with your Father. Were
not these expressions calculated to rake great hopes
in our King ? Could the candid, the honest FERDI-
NAND believe, that his Ally's ideas would fix upon
taking possession of Spain ? Could he persuade hire.
self, that the only means of. reconciliation between
father and son was to depose them both, and the
whole of the Royal Family ? Did any trait of, the
Emperor's former conduct afforif room to suspect,
him of such double dealing ?
But, what right had our ally 130 set up for a judge
of our differences ? It is, perchance, tly.alhapae and
contiguity of two countries, which authorise hini•to •
make himself master 'of a Kingdom, lestits commit?:
dons should disturb the peace of France ? - Let hied
-then proclaim the jnstice and. propriety of the division
of Poland, which Austria, Russia and Prussia effected
under the same pretence. And besides, who Will
belieVe that Spain, loyil Spain, has been, or is likely
to be, exposed to a revolutionary crisis, under the ea-
gerly wished-for sway of. the beloved Ferdinand, the
delight of the Nation ? Why is the meaning of words
altered P Can the term of commotion be applied to
as general-eryof a Nation which calls for the fall of
&favourite who ruined the country, and for the ad-
vancement of a lawful ?dime to the Government of
the same
But perhaps did he become a competent judge by
virtue of the protest of Charles IV. after his firsts ab-
dication. How so ? Is it in the power of a Mo-
natch who has abdicated, to put the fate of his coun-
try at the disposal of a Foreign Prince ? What be-
comes of the Rights of Nations ? Those Rights which
have cost so much blood, and are so little regarded?
The Spanish Nation acknowledges as her King, Fer.

dinand VII. who was given her by his own
and the Spanish Nation shall have no other.
she swears it by the manes of the brave men
RA the war of the succession.
, The public opinion, to which the Emperor
rjeaCh wished the Prince of Peace to be sacrificed
s sanie.nuhlic , opinion is the woke of all
-aids, which calls Ferdinand to the Throne.
Lastly, perhaps do the reforms Ai/Anted in
• • 'on,- authorize the Emperor, as a
humanity, to make himsalP Master of Spain,
purposeof making her happy. Ah I what ha
is there withisut independence'? If our Roy Al 1
if our primordial rights be taken from us, wle
