there are men who have not bent the knee to Baal.

1t is said that Murat is ordered to return to France
tO tonsequenfe of having acted with.too much remiss.
unhand too little severity, and that in place of him
we are to receive Masson, who is more active and
much more sanguinary.

- die By a letter from Capt. Curficc, of. the Eclipse,
dated Oporto, 20th June, it appears thin, owing to.
the treachery of Don Otdvamt, Governor of Oporto,
(now confined as a Traitor), the French wine ena:
bled to re.establish their authority, which they main.
tained until the 16th of June, the day of Corpus
Christi, when an attempt was made to carry the
French Flag in the procession. This incensed the po-
pulace to such a degree, that under the countenance
of the Priests, they rose in a mats, broke open the
I)epots, supplied th,:aselres with 25,000 stand of
arms, and togeher with the Regulars formed a most
'determined and enthusiastic army. From this mo-
ment all French authority ceased, and every man, ei-
ther French or suspected of being inclined to the
French interest, was arrested.

" The Bishop of OPoirro is elected Governor. An
Army of 90,000 men was sent to meet the French,
who with a corps of 900 men had marched within
six leagues of Oporto.—The Provinces Tres Monte%
Minho, and the Northern Parts of Beira, have risen in
arms to the amount of 100,000 men, inclusive of the
force in Oporto.

66 GCtleTal SPEWER arrived off Lisbon in the
Scour brig, on the 24th of June, and after comm.
nicating with Sir CHARLES Corrow, returned to join
his Forces off Cape St. Vincent.
66 A disruch has also been received from Admiral
Lord GAMBIER, inclosing a letter' mm Captain Dio.
SY, of the Co..ssace, dated off St. Andero, 25th June,
by which it appears that on the 23d the French en-
tered the place, previous to which, however, the boats
of the CossacK and the COMET spiked all the guns in
Fort St. Salvador De Ano and Fort Sedra, and
completely destroyed the Magazines, with 500 whole
barrels of powder, and a quantity of dther stores.—
The boats had just returned rsund Point De Ano;
when a considerable body of French dragoons ap-
peated on the hill."

'LITTER FROM AN OFFICER IN OUR rumr CRUIZINO

OFF ids TAGUS, DATED JUKE 25.
" All the northern provinces of Portugal are in arms; at
Oporto, Viaria. Nllnch, Tres Monies. Ate. thousands of persons
have caught the glorious Same of freedom, still spreading like
electric fire, and must Weems, to an irresistible torrent.
leaders are wanted, and arms and ammunition. Lisbon is held
by about 10,000 men, under Jo NOT, against a population highly.
disgusted; half that number of Spud: ads, Ignobly disarmed .and
imprisoned in the hulks on the river, are baiting with revenge ;
the Swiss and German soldiers ender Ist NOT murmur aloud, and
AU is approaching to a crisis. I think 10,000 British troops could
restore the Prince Regent his emits'.
" A Spaniard distributed some hundred proclamations in Lis-
bon. of which I send you a translated copy. In Spain everything ,
is favourable to Freedom, to Britain, and to Europe ; our tars
cheerfully resign the hope of hard dollars, leaving them to mingle '
with Engliab guineas for bumbling the Corsican Usurper. In one
glorious MSC, Spaniards and Englisluneware,it is hoped, for ever
friends. Admiration of mac valour will bind the one--gratitude
for prompt assistance secure the other, With true ardour as an
tnglishosan, soaring above petty cons rations, I contemplate the
evened things to this, gamer of the globe as most awfully inte-
resting to all Europe. The following is the proclamation alluded
to •
INHABITANTS OF PORTUGAL!' ,
" the tiros is come to rescue your Country!. judge for your.
selves, whether the title of belongs to the French or to
the togtish!--To the first pa owe the pillage of your country,
the plunder of your churches, the banishment of your kindred,
the corruption of your morals, and the stagnation of your trade—,

assisted ambition and unquenched lust for power could only be
permitted by Pacesoessee for a time, and for purposes beyond
Yuman comprehension the termination is arrived!—To your
Prince was storeyed the boneno of eying from oppression. The

and all tree Spaniards alive to a sense of it. 'life dishonourable
career of corruption has been run—the arts and machinations to
divide been attempted, and the sanguinary scenes to terrify been
twretised in vain (arts to which the breach Kuhr owes his for.

will it prove, to quell the true Ca.stilinn spirit, bursting forth to
convince an astonished, hut admiring world, that a nation's sr
