• cliz, June 11.
Captain General--Obliged to defend myself on
iccount of the inquietude inspired into the people of
this prsvince -by my imposing attitude, 1 yesterday,
in order to tranquillize thorn, prOpose l to.your Ex-
cellency to quit the Day. In case the English can-
not' secede to this proposal, I suggest the idea of dis-
embarking my means of attack, and keeping my
ships' companies on board ; no colours shall be dis.l
played on my squakon. Hostages shall be given for
our security, our sick, and all the French people in the
province, with their national and inclividual property.
Hostages will be equally given ott my part. The re-
freshments, water, and provisions necessary-for• niy
squadron shall be provided on my paying for them,
as has hitherto been done. In short; I shall
.demand
no condition but those which are, necessary for my
honour and that of the people serving under my or-
ders, and as are compatible with the public LI-linguini ty.
Deprived by my proposal of the means of defence
against the exterior enemy, I demand security against
them.
Receive, Captain General, the renewal of my dis-
tinguished consideration, with which I am your Ex-
cellency's must humble servant. (Signed) no:•sILLS.
Copy of an Answer from General Mork to Admiratßossilly.
Empllent Sir, Admiral Rossilly—ln answer to err-
Cain proposals and official demands tran,rnitted by
your Excellency, which, although dictated by your
honour, are unquestionably incompatible with mine,
as must be evident to your Excellency, I have to ac.
quaint you, that I cannot accegt any terms but an
unconditional surrender. My honour and character
not allowing me to depart in any way from my pro-
mises, I therefore inform you that my orders from
the Superior Council being positive with respect to
the surrender of the squadron commanded by your
Excellency, I cannot enter into any conditions with-
out previously consulting them. It is likewise my duty
to consult with the English Commanders, as, without
their consent, I cannot compromise myself.
For these reasons, I shall suspend my attack, until
I have dispatched those two expresses, availing my-
self, however, of the intermediate time to prepare other
means for the attack.
Nothing opposes the individual esteem entertained
for your Excellency, by your faithful servant,
(Signed) THOMAS MORLA.

MADRID, JUNE M. - •
Yesterday proceeded towards France several oi
the Equerries of Murat ; and to-Incerow, he will
himself leave this city, under pretence that the. climate
is injurious to his health—bat the tree cause is the to-
tal defeat of the army of Dupont in Andalusia—
,the greater part of the soldiers being killed, and the
rest having been sent prisoners to Ciudad Real. Af-
ter this example, Prince Murat is apprehensive of ex•
periencing the same fate, if he should continue in
this neighbourhood.
JUNE 15.—We are Inuits r3lieved here by the di:
minuLion of the French troops, and particularly as the
few which remain do not at all interfere with us. In
the gardens of thd Retiro, they go on with their forti.
fications. Scarcely a soul is to be seen cut she public
walk of the Prado-, on account pf the haerid, scenes se
lately exhibited there.
We know that at two distinct times bodies of troops
filed off for Segovia, and it is-said that artillery-. woe
sent there—but we can knell, little of what passes •'t
that city, or even in tte surrounding province ; fo.
what is communicated to us by their Joutnals is only
what is favourable to their interest. Their papers are
thus filled with falsehood:, and lies—yet more abomi-
nable are inserted in the Bayonne Gazette. The worst
is, that 'their'Spanish accomplices endeavour to give
credit to such misrepresentations.
The- following letter Is said to have been inter-

cepted
Mr D*A* EtOtsta-4 desire you will vigilantly attend to
your proceedings with the Spaniards, not indeed for their sakes
but that they may be rendered subservient to my projects. When
nitre the authorLy o( France is established among them, I expt:ct
to draw from their pnpalatlon two hundred thousand men, with
whose assistance I intend to conquer the kingdom of Morocco, no(
the whole Mediterranean coast of Africa. This conquest, be-
sides preventing the English from drawing subsistence from thence,
will put Spitr is a helpless situation. Yoe such purposes it is ad-
visable to give the p eference to the Southern inhabitants, who
are more accustomed to the inclemency of the heat, and best cal-
ulated to cope with tie." English. It is necessary to avail our-
selves of the present circumstances to advance our fortunes, while
the booby Alexander, whom. A have nude to believe is to citeld•
Europe with me, is amusing himself in conquering rocky lands
And it, seas. (We shall see what will happen*

It is positively known that dispatches having been
intercepted from Murat to Baron de Albala, .at Va-
lencia, appoint,ing him -Captain General -of that King-
dom and Murcia, and inforining him that 6000
French troops would arrive from Catalonia, topreserve
the public tranquillity, the people rose and took ven-
geance on this vile instrument Of the Grand Duke
His head, placed upon a long pole, was carried
through the city, and at length fixed up in the Gras d
Square, as a warning to all those who May 'have the
meanness to sell their country.

yet more abundantly supplied with troops than the
latter.—Some persons, on whom we can rely, have
arrived from France, who assure us, that-id the inte-
terior there are no troops, and that the grand army
on foot does not exceed 104,000 men.
