_MANIFESTO OF THE 13TH AUGUST.
Head Quarters, Saragossa, August 13.
After sb many days of pain and affliction, the
period has at length arrived which I could expect
from the valour and firmness with which you de-
fended this illustrious capital. Having witnessed the
shameful flight of the French slaves, who have aban-
doned the artillery, ammunition, and provisions,
which they had so detestably and with such rapacity
heaped up, let us now perform our principal duty,
and offer up thanks to the OMNIPOTENT, who has in-
flicted condign 'punishment on those wretched soh
diers, who profane the Temples, outrage the sacred
images of the Divinity, and are such strangers to
morality, that they are not worthy to have any inter-
course with the rest of mankind. Let us leave this
Emperor, to remorses and afflictions, which are the lot
of the wicked, and beseech the Warr HIGH, that he
may vouchsafe to bless again our arms, that the
two armies which are in pursuit of the fugitive rob-
bers may complete their destruction. The fields of
Saragossa, its gates, and even its streets, are stained
with the blood of 8000 Frenchmen, who have paid
with their lives for the temerity of their Chief. This
is the fruit which they have reaped from their en-
, trance in Arragon. All Europe, nay the Universe,
will hear with horror the detestable names of their
Generals Le Febre and Verdier, who, unmindful of
the good treatment which the French prisoners and
all the natives of-France experienced in Arragon, have
committed the utmost atrocities. They very justly
appreciated the difference between the system of an
ambitious and treacherous government, and that of a
nation which cements its felicity by the fairest prin.
ciplcs of justice, and considers not as real enemies
those who took no share in the delirious conduct pf
this government. France will long deplore the cala-
mities which the war with Spain has prepared for her,
and cannot recollect without the deepest sense of
shame, the means employed to carry it on.
Husbandmen, artizans, orphans, aged and religious
persons, ye, who have been reduced to indigence and
misery, in consequence of your fields being fired, your
' houses destroyed, and your property what, however
Small, constituted your whole fortune and all your'
comfort, robbed by the French. be easy ; you have
the good fortiMe of living in Spain : and yours is the
glory to have defended the capital of Arragon, where-
by our enemy was prevented from desolating the rest
of this beautiful province. You bore up 'with resig-
nation under your sufferings, and disregard your pri-
vate interest, in order to promote the general good.
I cannot look with indifference on deeds of heroism,
like yours, nor cievit any opportunity of procuring you
relief.
' have very particularly charged the Intendant-
General of the Kingdom, D. Lorenzo Calbo, as soon
as the mast pressing occupations of the present period
shall permit it, to relieve your wants by every means
iniris power ; and I depend on the generous feelings
of all Spaniards, and the liberal sentiments, of our be-
loved ling, that all possible exertion will be made to
indemnify you for all your sufferings and losses.
(Signed) PALAYOX.
BARCELONA, AUGUST S.

To supply the present necessities, and provide for
the army which has been raised and organized in this
province, the Supreme Junta has orderedtbat the 'es-
tates situated in it, lately appertaining to Don Ma-
nuel Godoy, shall be sold by public auction, or let
out at a rent ; thus the immense property and riches
acquired at the expence and by the sacrifices of the
nation, by the most foolish and ambitious of men,
will ultimately be rendered useful to it.

SICILY, JULY is.

The late good news film Spain' nd Portugal has
almost turned our heads, and had its confirmatiOn
not reached us friim the best authorities, we should
feel great difficulty in giving credit to it. We now
only require the pionfirmation of a report prevailing
here within these few days, that there has been an
insurrection at Rome, when we may reasonably look to
the speedy annihilation of the Bonapartean dynasty.
Immediately on the receipt of the intelligencd that
we had possessed ourselves of Ca4iz, and the general
rise of the Spaniards to repossess themselves of their
natural freedom, Sir John Stuart dispatched Colonel
Airey, the Deputy Adjutant-General of this Army,,
on a secret mission, supposed for Minorca, and pro.:
bably to propose the introduction of British eroeps;)
in which event it is supposed that two or three regt-,
mews will leave this for that island. Till very lately
the army here hied suffered much from the opthalmiat
owing, however, to the judicious precautions adopted,,
it has in a great measure been reduced : the 21st and
31st regiments, v hick had been in Egypt with the
last Expedition, have suffered most. They have been
sent into the interior of the island ; the former to Ve- '
netico, and the latter to Castrogiovani, with their sick
di v ided in the adjacent towtowns and villages, according to
the nature and degrees of violence of their complaint.

STOCKHOLM, AUGUST IX
A vessel from Riga came in yesterday evenings
the way of Sandhamn, saw nothing of the Russia
fleet, which was, officially reported to be lying
Sandhamn, being 22 sail, and having several Danish)
officers on board. Great' apprehensions were enai
Wined about the safety of expected convoys, and
pf several English line of battle ships known to cruize
abigly thereabouts. If the Russians do not intend a
binding here, it -would seem as if their fleet was much
exposed in this situation, the Swedes coming from
Finland, and the English from the Sound. To-mor-
row We shill know whether they are there or not.

Among the extracts from Spanish and Portuguese
Gazettes, inserted in the preceding columns, will be
found some interesting accounts relative to military
operations previous to the battle of the Ist, not do.
tailed in the official dispatches that have been laid be:4
fore the Public. Every particular respecting the
movements of an army that has performed such signal
achievements, must prove acceptable to our Readers.
Spain and Portugal may already be considered•as
emancipated, at least for the present, from the chains
forged for the inhabitants by the Tyrant of urope,..
—A letter from the Continent, recei7ed yesterday,
states, that the Senate of Paris have presented an
Address to BONAPARTE, " imploring him to withdraw
his armies from Spain and Portugal." •As the people I
of those countries have not sense enough to attend to
his IMPERIAL MAJESTY'S benevolent counsels, and to
accept with gratitude the amiable Sovereign .whom in
his wisdom he recommends, they request his MA-'
JESTY to "leave there froward people to themselves !"
The writer of the letter applauds the advice of the
Senate, adding, that it would be very judicious in
the French Government to withdraw its. troops, ri
Messrs. les Espagnoll le vewillent. We shall no doubt
have, in a few days, a Mesiage from. his him:-
Aux. P4.lEsTit to the .Senate, ikanswer to their. Mes-
sage, in which he will-c-onveY an exposi, of his mo-
tives for invading and abandoning Spain,.all of which
he will nolbubt endeavour to varnish with.magnani-
mous pretences. But BONAPARTE cannot conee.al his
humiliation nor his disgrace. The trick of resorting
to his Senate will npt avail him. ,Their subserviency
is too•nototious. ^

The arrival of the forces under Sir Join/ Mooot
this quarter, namely, in die rear ofaroor'S defeated
troops, would of course render thatsituatiow more
hopeless ; and a change of position in the two armies
might be unnecessary, if, as is most probable, an ar-
mistice had been concluded.. Sir CHARLES COTTON'S•
sanction might be requisite in point of form, on:ac
count of the circumstances, of the Russian fleet in the
Tagus, the surrender of which onnst constitute an ar-
ticle of Junor's capitulation.

THE CANARY ISLANDS. '

Letters from the Canary Islands, of the 29th and
30th ultimo, were yesterday received in town. These
letters:describe the conduct of those islands from the
moment they received intelligence of the conduct of
BONAPARTE towards the mother country. Before any
thing was known of the proceedings of the Spaniards
in consequence of the tidings from Bayonne, a Cart'ido•
General was called. Their first resolution was to resist
French domination ; to acknowledgeozay the Old So-
vereignty in the family of thiletrapprts.,'The
next resolution 0t this Asseinblywas tdiolieirthe prq-
tection of England—that is its maritime ii.i.OXicticin,tor

HOLLAND.
The intelligence which weAtimouncedQ-n Saturday,
'that the Dutch ports had again been opened to export
goods of every -description, excepting bark, hides,
and salt, is confirmed by the arrival of a number of
vessels in the River.
This eve& took place in consequence of the repre-
sentations of the Merchants, who 'had a meeting at
Amsterdam, to consider of the state of the country.
At this meeting a motion was made to present a me-
morial to his Majesty King Louis, representing the
absolute necessity there was for a revival of com-
merce. An individtia merchant had the boldness to
say, that a memorial was not the only measure which
the meeting should adopt but that they should sup-
porttheir claim. by- .arr unanimous declaration that it

Tbe' memorial was unanimously agreed to, and the
free speech of the gentleman who talked of enforcing
their clainis was not noticed.

By the above vessels letters and papers to the 29th
ult. have been received, but they maintain their usual
silence respecting the affairs of Spain and Portugal..`.
They contain. hoWever, accounts from the East of
Europe, tending to cinfirm the intelligence announced
in the STAR of the rth ult. on the authority of a pri.
vate letter from the Continent, that a fresh revolution
has taken place in

TURKEY.
The insurgents are said to amonni to 40,000, and
the Sultan himself is reported to have been beheaded
At the commencement of the disturbances. The pre.

cise object of the discontented is of no great moment
