All the gun-boats at Sheerness have been ordered
to be sent to the Baltic immediately. They are built
on the same plan as those used by the Northern Powers
in the Sound and East Sea. This description of force
will be of the most essential service, both in protecting
our trade and enabling our brave seamen to combat
the enemy with equal advantage.

By a vessel arrived at Plymouth from the Coast of
Spain within the Mediterranean, accounts have been
received, that the Algerines have declared war against
the Americans.

The rumoured action between the Spanish Patriots

and the French troops at Madrid is not confirmed by
any of the accounts that have been received; nor can

we find that such a fact has been stated, even as a re-

port, in any of the letters. One of the letters received

by the ALcsrus mentions a curious fact. After
stating that Maishal NZY continued with his army in.
Catalonia, it says :•••••••" The Governor of the Province
(Ezvzi.ArA) succeeded in persuading the Marshal to
believe, that the Catalans were attacked to France,
and had imbibed a great dististe to the people of the
other Provinces-.that if arms were put in their hands,

they would fight while life lasted by the side of
Frenchmen.—This ruse had its effect, upwards of
70,000 Catalans were armed and accoutred. Only a
few days, however, had' passed, when the stratagem
was discovered. Ail order was instantly given to

disarm the people, but not more than 3000 agreed to
return the arms, the remainder declaring that they
would part them only in death."
A Gentleman arrived yesterday from Corunna,
which place he left on the 17th ult. confirms the
statements previously received by the ALCMENE, and
details some of the particulars with more minuteness.
—.He was at Oporto on the sth of June, when the
Spanish force, amounting to 8000 men, declared in
favour of the Spanish insurrection, ani compelled the
French troops, amounting only to 60 hussars, with
their commander, to lay down tneir arms ; and
Oporto was immediately declared to be an open port.
The Spanish force at Oporto, this "Gentleman says,
had marched towards Spain with a view to meet the
great body of the Patriots in Castile, where they were
appointed to assemble, and where the whole arc to be
placed under the command of General euzsra, who is
an Officer of the highest military reputation and na-
tional influence in Spain. The point chosen for the
assemblage of this great force, to which all the insur-
gent provinces are to send their contributions, is pe-
culiarly calculated for the purpose of attacking Mnit AT,
and preventing any reinforcements from being oonveyed
to him from France. It is added, that 93,000 Portu-
guese Conscripts, which were considerably advanced
in their march through Spain, had been stopped in
Estramadura by the Patriots ; rescued from the escort
by which they were guarded; and that they had joined
the insurrection, and were armed against the French,
These letters represent General JUNOT in a most
perilous situation at Lisbon, and state, that the Por-
tuguese had determined to cut off his retreat.
The following paragraph is the statement of a Gen.
tleman just arrived from Corunna
Respecting news from Spain, I have not time to
enlarge at present. You may, however, be assured,
that in the provinces of Gallia*, Leon, Andalusia,
Castile, and Asturias, every man has turned out in
arms against the French. I was confined at the city
of Lurgo, 15 leagues from Corunna, and, two days
before we left it, 14,000 troops, with 50 pieces of can-
non, marched through that place towards Madrid;
and on the road we met 5000 troops marching by
forced marches, with the greatest invectives against
BONAPARTE. The Governor of Lurgo informed me,
and other English Officers, that the province of Gal-
licia alone had enrolled seven hundred thouraad iota /

Aletter from St, Lurgo (a town not far distant from
Corunna), dated the 16thisistant,agrees in substance
with the above statement, It stases that 14,000 men,
consisting chiefly of regular troops of the line and ad_
with fifty pieces of cannon, had passed thrones
