OF AUGUST.

Astorga, August 12.
Yesterday anived here the English General Doyle,
commissioned by the British Government for the
conveyance of the Spanish prisoners, in number about
3000, who are coming to join our army. The same
~dicer has also brought complete clothing, muskets,
flints, ammunition, belts, shirts, stockings, and shoes,
for 10,000 men, with 200,000 lbs. of cheese, all of

which are ready on the road for the army. There
has also arrived at Corunna a million of dollars, and
an equal quantity at Gijon, with 30,000 musquets
and corre,ponding ammunition. •
How great the difference in the conduct observed
by the mortal enemies of Ms Continent, and that of the
Regesterators of Europe! the former have repaid our
alliance, the immense sacrifices we have made to
maintain it, and the welcome reception we have given
them in our houses, with robbery, with assassins ions
'of every kind, with the abominable projects of over-
turning our constitution, religion, our manners and
customs, and lastly, with the odious desire of loading
us with chains, in order to serve their iniquitous ends,
while the latter pour out their treasury and all kinds
of resources that we may preserve our laws, our inde-
pendence, and whatever we hold most valuable in life.
Love and eternal gratitude to the generous Islan-
ders, the Saviours of Europe ! everlasting execration
to the monsters of the human species !
AT:ousT 20.—The same General Doyle, and our
inestimable Duke de l'lnfantado, arrived yesterday in
this city, and have set out for Alva da Torres, where
General Cuesta has his head-quarters ; we may ex-
pect the most flattering consequences from the inter-
views between these personages.

VALENTIA, AUGUST 19.
The Austrian and Russian Ambassadors in Ma-
drid, carry on their diplomatic correspondence with
their Courts through the medium of the Supreme
Junta of this place. From hence the dispatches are
sent to Triest, and from that place to Vienna and Pe.
tersburgh. This arrangement seems to warrant a hope
that the two Cabinets will not hesitate to join in the
most vigorous measures to strike down the tyrant,
whose satellites already publicly declare, that they in-
tend
to march from Spain to Austria, and from thence
to Russia; so that, according to the plan and system
of Napoleon, there is not to ren;lain in Europe one
single crowned head of the ancient Royal Families. .
The Supreme Junta of this place has issued a re-
solution, purporting that all tl e Civil and Military
Authorities of this Capital and Kingdom, are not to
entertain any direct intercourse or correspondence
with the Royal Council, or any other public autho-
rity, in Madrid, but that they are merely to corres-
pond with the Supreme Junta of this Kingdom, and
to expect from their board all necessary instructions,
orders, and directions.

Dispatches Deere fast night received at the Admi
ralty from Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ in the Baltic... They
were brought by Captain EVANS. and they give us
every reason to hope that we shall speedily be ena-
bled to announce a glorious victory over the Russian
fleet in that quarter. Captain Eras states, th Lt ':'e
united force of the Swedes and English, consisting
of seven sail of the line, were in sight of ten sail of
Russian ships of the line ; and that Sir JANIIO SAL:-
MARA:4 with three sail of the line, was within two days
sail of the combined fleets. The Russians were
closely shut up in Hango Bay, in Finland ;—and the
English blockading squadron under Sir SAmurtHco:,
only waited the coming up of Sir JAzlrs SAusuutra.
in order to attack the Russians.

To the above we may add, that the Auckland
packet, arrived at Harwich, brings similar intelli-
gence, with this addition, that Sir huts SAVMAREZ
had actually fallen in with the Russians. The pas-
sengers by the Auckland state the co:nhined fleets,
of Hango Bay,
.as consisting of eleven bail of Swe-
dish men of war, and the under Sir Smiles&
HOOD, as consisting of three only.
When the Auckland left Gottesburgh no doubt
• was entertained of the almost immediate surrender of
the Russians, who are not so numerous as at first re-
ported. They have only ten sail of the line and two
or three frigates.
In addition to the above we subjoin the following
article from the
