partment og Fulda, taking into consideration, that

habitants, merely tolerated, but as real citizens of the

The intelligence brouiht by Captain Prxice, of the
room, from Cormma, which we yesterday laid
More our Readers, is confirmed by dispatches re-
ceived by Government from Oviedo. The sub-
once of the 'accotintos received is briefly this :
The Patriot Army had attacked the French General
prpa,:r, who had been detached by MURAT to take
a position in the Sierra Morena, to keep open the
communication with Madrid. The force of DUPONT
differently estimated ; for it is a part of the
french tactics always to exaggerate their {lumbers.—
His army is said to have been 42,;:a000 men ; but it
probably did not much exceed one half of that Lum-
ber, The battle Was sanguinary, but it terminated in
the total route of the French—Dl-I,oar himself having
oroped with great .difEculty. The result of which
vas, that MURAT himselt thought proper to quit
wild, and took post with his =all army at the
King's Villa, called Bunt &trim, a height above Ma-
drid, where the ling had a beautiful Seat, but which
vas perfectly open. Here, however, he was endea-
' touring to entrench himself. When the Peacock left
Fermi, the siglial was flying far Pilots to carry our
ships in, in consequence of a similar convention to
that which had taken place at Cadiz. Steps had also
been taken to make known, and we hope to secure to
the Provisional Government Gf Spain, the friendship
and co-operation of Smith. America ; for which pur-
pose, Achr.iral Hotrinst, cauizing off Ferrol, had
granted passports to a Spanish vessel, carrying out in-
telligence to their several Viceroys and Governors,
and inviting them to be faithful to the cause of their

Country.
Lieutenant Pnmc, of the cutter la Paz, whose are
eival from Gijon we also announced yesterday,
brought back to this country the Secretary of the
Marquis DE MATTEROSA, who sailed with the an-
over of our Government to his application for succour
m the 13th, and left Gijon, ou his return, on the
Inst. He corroborates the intelligence of the defeat
of Dl:7o*, and says that the account of it arrived'
en the very day he left Oviedo. 'The Patriots
had received perfect intelligence of the Positiob of
the French in the mountains, from the smugglers,
who are commonly known by the name of Ban-
ditti, and who, from their way of life, are inOrnately
acquainted with every accestibte defile of the moun-
tains of the Sierra Morena. Instructed by thin', who
acted faithfully as guides, the. Patriots attacked tke
French with great advantage ; and the account at
Gijon was precisely the same as at Corunna
that the French were totally muted and dispersed—
that Mtea r had, inconsequence of it, left Madrid
for the adjacent heights—that the Spanish troops whom'
he had at first secured at Madrid, were deserting
in
crowds—anti that the armies of the Patriots were daily
increasing. the only things they wane are what We
can sepply—previsions, cloaths, arms; and arnmutit-
tioa. Men they do not want, but as ish that tae may
employ our disposable fore, rather as a diversion,
than on the territory of Spain.
The Oviedo Gazette does not contain any account
of this battle—but this- is .accounted for by the cir-
cumstance of its having arrived on the day that this
Gentleman canto away ; and it would therefore ap-
pear in the next. The Oviedo Gazette which he lias
brought with him contains a very noble Proclamation
from one of the Castiles, together with a most ani-
mated Address to the Inhabitants of Madrid, which
is in fact an Answer to the ridiculous Proclamations
from Barnne--and a most glowing and complete
tefutatitnt of them, In no period of the Revolution,
and in no country, has the press contributed so nobly
and so essentially to the cause of liberty, as in this
• popular btrast of patriotism in Spain—so true is it,
flat it is only when. s people are. truly aroused, that
languagefeclingly displays the energies of the soul !
To complete this:grand and gratifying exhibition'
of a nation struggling for delieErance, we find from
Lord CASTLVIZACiII'S notice to the Loan MAWR, that
the Southern. Provinces of Spain have flung off their
natural sloth,. and have arisen from enervating luXury
to noble, action. The dispatches from Sir H. Dar.-
maim: state, that they have caught the flame of the
North, anti that the army before Gibraltar, reinforced
by the greater part of the garrison of Ceuta, had de-
clared fair their country. We rejoice to learn the fact
bast mentioned, for it proves that, the British must
have assisted in getting them across the Gut, and have
probably supplied the place of the veterans in the
prison, by raw troopsaor have guaranteed the secu-
rity of the place during their absence. Every de-
rnoastration of good faith on our parts, not merely
serves to cement our friendship with Spain, but also
to encourage other nations to follow the magnificent
example which the Spaniards have set. •
The decision and promptitude of Administration
at the present important crisis, demurs and receives
the unqualified approbation of all parties. In every
thing that regards the cause of genuine liberty and
the nallare of the human race, We can have but one
party in this country. A Cabinet Council sat yes-
terday after the receipt of the above intelligence, at
which the dispatches seceived by the Marqui.; de
Mart rtosa, were also taken into consideration. So
prompt was tke deaieioa of the Cabinet, that le Gen
tle;nao who brought the dispatches for the Marquis
sat off last eight at nine o'clock. to embark for Gijon,
with the answer to the request of the Assembly. The
reee:e. t is for arms, arnmutiltion, meney, and provi-
