MADRID, JULY as, - -
On the 13th of this month, at tweri,e-o'Clock, was
vmpunced, by the discharge of artillery, which was
not at all attended to, and by the ringing of bells,
which were scarcely heas for an- instant, the ap-
proach ofJoselphl, King of Spain, The bell-ringeis
were -threatened with severe chastisement, bet they ,
would not perform the 'duty required. During this
important intervalt paroles of French, attended by
cannon and ammunition, paraded the streets of the
city to prevent disorder, by inspiring terror. On the
20th, the new Monarch made his triumphal entry.
with his Officers and trotps-Ta day for us the most
melancholy and distressing. Orders had been given
that banners should be displayed from the windows;
but this command was not merely disregarded, but
all the doors, windows, and balconies, were closed ;
no one quitted his house, except, in the neighbour,
hood of Puerto del Sol, some few to see what was
passing. At the time the King approached, any
street where a few people might be collected, orders
were given to be uncovered, but, instead of !be-
; dience, the Spaniards turned their backs, and left the
place. Not-one native complimented the strange;
with hezzas ; some small number before the royal
carriage, hired for the purpose from among the ad,
herents of France, grumbled, rather than applauded,
ISome few French courtiers followed, rather to gain
admittance• to the Sovereign, than to congratulate
Jim on his reception.
We are surprised and disgusted on seeing the ac,
Flat:nations and rejoicings with which Joseph was
welcomed, according to the false statements of the
Madrid Gazettes. According to these, the streets
' were brilliantly illuminated, and filled with Grandees
and comp-any of high rank and distinction ;no such
,
exhibitions were admitted, and no ptisons of title and
honour were Piesent; for scarcely an individual of.
I family remained in the city to witness the ceremony.
To-day it has been directed that the Counsellors
1 of State attend to swear allegiance to Joseph and his
new-fangled Constitution. This ceremony is to be
forced upon them. I am also informed that the same
) command has, been given to the Secretaries, to com-
ply with which they were very reluctant; but no-
thing would satisfy the Government; they were coa-
-1 strained to assent, and in the same spirit every spe-
cies of 'submission will be exacted. I need not say
in what degree such compliance' is obligatory upon
them. •
Orders have also been given for the display of
banners, illuminations, free theatrical petformances,
and bull fights to-morrow. All the diversions will
be for the French, for the people ve too melancholy to
partake of it. • Great numbers leave •the district not
to witness such scenes.
Believe not a syllable that you read in the Madrid
Gazettlis f all is iniquity, all is falsehoOd; nothing can
be more contrary to the fact. ,
It is reported that they are now engaged in print-
ing the gew constitutia‘ 'Whip ivappears, it will

,

be a new inn:mice to drive us from that, impels
which we have so long ingloriously surrendered ow'.
selves. If it should be the consequence (which Gob
forbid) that our Nobility .should be destroyed, that
our Grandees should be annihilated, we shall have
the felicity of French incecssors. The Gazette of
the 13th announces the decoration of a French Lord
with the honours of a Grandee of Spain.
•
To indulge us still more with the 'blessing of
French connections, we observe by the Constitution,
that Napoleon is declared heir to the Spanish Crown,
as Joseph is announced successor to that of France.
By a letter from that country, to the contents of
which we are required to give our assent, we are
told, that our legitimate King, Ferdinand, is now in
Park.

We have received letters from Gibraltar to the 23d
July, but the accounts from Spain which they detail,
are not so late as those we have already laid before
our Readers. They state, that DUPONT'S army would
have been destroyed in the action which took place
on the 15th, had all the columns of the Patriots been
equally successful. The two columns led on by Ge-
neral REDING and the MaIIitIiSDECOMPEIGN4 were
completely successful, but the Bd, ehiefiy composed
of armed peasantry, were foiled in their attempt to
penetrate the strong entrenchments of the French, in
consequence of which the whole were drawn off, and.
with but little loss. On the 17th they had erected'
three batteries of eighteen guns, which were opened
on .the French entrenched camp at Andujar with
great effect. The latest accounts that had reached
Gibraltar from that quarter, were of the 18th, and
stated, that the Patriots had every thing nearly ready
for a general attack, which was intended to take place
on the 19th or 20th. By the accounts that were be-
fore received we know that on the latter DUPONT sur-
rendered to the victorious Patriots..,
These letters also mention the defeat of General
Moucxx's army of 12,000 men, on the 28th of June,
at Valencia, and that their retreat to Madrid was
entirely cut off, excepting from two to three hundred
cavalry, who it was thought had reached that capital,
the army of the Patriots being very short of horse.
At Gibraltar the garrison is in high health and spi-
rits. The Spaniards in the neighbourhood supply
them plentifully with vegetables and fresh provisions.
The Bulletin circulated yesterday, and which we
again insert, a small part of our impression having
beer. printed before it was issued, announces the begun
retreat of King Jowls and the French army from
Madrid, but does not bring down the intelligence
.from Andujar to the date of DUPONT'S surrender :

- - -
All our anxiety is, that the brave armies of Va-
lencia, Andalusia, and Gallicia, may rid us of these
infernal plagues. We have not an hour of comfort
and repose, and are incessantly misled by contra.
dictory intelligence. May GOD deliver us safely on
the third day of * • •.

" Intelligence has been received by Government
from Lieutenant-Colonel DOYLE, dated at mid-
night on the 4th, from Corunna. Colonel DOYLE saw
a letter from Madrid dated the 27th, stating, that
on that morning the French began their retreat from
Madrid—that JOSEPH BONAPARTE had quitted the
City, and with the usual characteristic of French
troops, had carried off all the valuables belonging to
the Court. They took the road to Burgos. The
above letter was written by a nephew to a Member of
the Junta of Gallicia.

'igloo, our King, our Country, and our Liberty.
" Ministers of the Sanctuary, be you the first to preach, and
to give the example of this important confidence. Be persu4dett
that both ecclesiastical and civil laws admit of selling the property
of the Church in circumstances of such urgent necessity as the
present. Convince the faithful that you are penerated with this
genuine doctrine, which, in times not so calamitous, was taught
by St. Bernard—for he taid, it was not conformable with our
bob, religion, that the Church should flourish in its possessions,
whilst her poor were necessitous ; that she should decorate her
walls with gold, and abandon her children to nakedness.'
" And you, Mothers, worthy of so many heroes, who know
how to excite the most noble ansi heroic passions of the human
heart, hasten to present to Government your jewels, your rings,
and ct namenta Fear not the decay of your attractive graces—
you will always be agreeable: and though your exterior decora-
tions should be less conspicuous, you will acquire such a degree of
mental perfection and heroism as t• attract the esteem of virtuous
men, and to command respect even from the weak, the vicious,
And the profligate. " F. X. C."

According to a letter from Tarragan, of the 27th
ult. the Murcian and Valencian army, 60,000 strong,
had passed through that place on that day, on their
way to Madrid. A body of smugglers, with ESCIIE•
VMS at their head, is also marching to Madrid, and
is within thirteen leagues of it.
" The Spaniards, according to private letters from
Arragon, have been again victorious in that quarter.
BESSIERES has evacuated Benevente.

• PRIVATE LETTER. '
• " Shorts of the Bay of Biscay, August 4.

" Being suddenly informed of the sailing of a vessel for Eng-
land, I am under the necessity of being brief in nay communication.

,g The Asturian army, under the command of
General PGINTE, h.cs made an incursion on the road
towards Burgos, and has taken a French convoy of
eight waggons, loaded with plunder.
. _

" Every day, 1 had almost said every hour, brings fresh intel-
ligence of the successes and triumphs of the Patriots; and the
public joy which expressed itself here by a general illumination,
on 'Tuesday evenir7, in celebration of the surrender of Dupont's
army, has not been suffered to grow faint, since subsequent infor-
mation confirms to us the advantages which ware expected from
that surrender.

" General CAST. NOS was rapidly advancing in La
Mancha."

It was very currently reported in the evening, that
General JuNor had surrendered to Sir A. WILLES.
LEY, and that we had also obtained possession of the
Russian ships in the Tagus. We have every reason
to hope, that before this time both of these events
have taken place, but no intelligence of this kind has
airived. The report probably arose from the cir-
cumstance of BESSIERES retreat from Leon towards
Burgos, and his having received a defeat on his route,
in the neighbourhood of Benevente. Having been
forced to abandon his design of proceeding towards
Lisbon, the hoped-for fall of Justor has in conse-
quence been reported to have actually happened.
We this day lay before our Readers extracts from
various Spanish Journals to the .sth inst. Like the
accounts above alluded to, they are not so late by
one'day as..the surrender of DUPONT, but they are
extremely interesting.
By these papers it appears, that General CUZSTA
has retired southward, from Benevente to Salamanca.

" Dispatches have just been received from the Gal Helen army,
which is now stationed in Castile, announcing the very important
fact of the retreat of Marshal 13-ssicres from Placentia towards
Burgos. This measure was rendered necessary by the glorious
and decisive victory of the Andaluslans over Dupont. The sur-
render of t►is army was a Warning not to be mistaken by any Ge-
neral of ordinary prudence. In the mean while, the Patriots were
full in pursuit of the fugitives, and employing all the means in
their power to retard their eight.

" In addition to this intelligence, the correctness of which is
not doubted, it is affirmed, that the army entrenched within the
walls or in the neighbourhood of Madrid, has already begun its
retreat. This event is said to have taken place, on the morning
of the 21th tilt .

" You will, doubtless, receive, through the French Journals,
the extravatant and mendacious statements with which the Go-
vernor of France has succeeded for so long a time in deceiving a
large portion of the world. Our Journals do not mention the
het, yet we are not ignorant that the farce of coronation has been
flayed at Madrid. Bonap •rte's Papers, will, as usual, speak of
demonstrations of joy on the part of the people ; but we are as-
sured, that in spite of the subjugation of the populace, they were
not made partick ators in the aid of mockery. The houses were
not illuminated, in opposition to the commands of the Govern-
ment ; audit is even asserted, that some of the church-bells were
beard to toll instead of ring.

" To turn, however, to matters of more moment : from the
A sturial we have received letters which bespeak the partial eman-
cipation of the province, which is, of ad, apparently most com-
pletely within the grasp of the Usurper, namely, Biscay. Letters
from St. Andero, of the 28th, received by water, state the occu-
pation of the Important pass of Psncorby by 4,000 Asturians ;
and yesterday a vessel arrived from Rfbadeo, which brought in-
telligence which, it is true, require; confirmation before it can be
safely admitted. According to this account the city of Meals*
found itself able to make a solemn declaration in favour f.f Ferdi.
nand VII. The French had succeeded in stripping the inbabi:
tents of all their arms ; but it is added, that arms had been for .
nished from tha English men of warlying off that station. If this
assertion be correct, you will probably retell* earlier nodes of it,
than this letter can give you, unless the navigation of the Day of
bony should have bete Impeded by clattery winds."

Private letters from Arragon, stating that, the Pa-
triots had beeri again successful in that quarter, seem
to relate to some fresh attack made by the enemy upon
Saragossa, in which he had been defeated. If this'
should be true; and the other armies are really upon
the retreat, there can be little doubt but that the
fot ce under Liersavaz will adopt the same course, and
Burgos will probably be their grand point of union :
it will no doubt be the eare of the Patriots to harrass
their retreat, more particularly while they continue in
a divided state, and to kang upon their rear after
their junction. Juncrr must now be considered as left
to his fate : it can only be an effort of unavailing ob-
stinacy to protract the contest.
The &Nearest inactivity of NAPor.zort has excited no
dm-ream:ll of 'surprise. He has not, however,

Finding, however, that something more thin tothriii

country. We hope he has been too labeibut we
can state, on the best authority, that last week' are ibm-
ilred and tams, thousand FrrscA Irmo: left Paris, for
the Pyrenees, whither they were to proceed with all
possible dispatch, assisted by carriages and cattle of
every description, orders having been sent on before
to put them in a state of requisition for this pressing
service. They were expected to be there as next
Monday.

A letter from the Hague of the 6th inst. receiver!
yesterday, states, that a rumour was prevalent there,'
that Peace has been concluded between Russia and
Sweden. From what source this rumour sprang is
not mentioned by the writer. Whether it was re-
ceived from Petersburg+ or Stockholm, cr whether
the terms are faVourable to the views of France, or
England, is not stated or insinuated. Those who are
acquainted with the politics of Sweden do not appear
to conceive this rumour entitled to any credit. The
letters from Stockholm by the List mail, which came
down so late as the 27th ultimo, did not contain any
thing that could induce the suspicion, that any such.
event was at all in contemplation.

The letters from Rio de Janiero give the most
pleasing account of the manner in which the Panfcs
REGENT has established and commenced his Govern-
ment. His respect for the English has been manifested
in the most handsome way, and there is every appear-
ance of a most prosperous reign. He has constituted a
new Orderof Knighthood ;of which the gallant Sir SID-
NEY SMITH is to be one of the companions. Sir SIDNEY
gave an entertainment on board the HIBERNIA, in
honour of his Majesty's birth-day, at which the
PRINCE REGENT assisted. The colours of the two

nations were displayed, as in happy union, over a ca-
nopy of state, where his Royal Highness was placed p
and he took occasion, after the repast, to take the Por-
tuguese flag and present it to Sir &mw &urn, with
a short address, in which he desired him to bear it in

future on his coat pf arms—an honour which the gal-
lant Knight received with grateful complacency.
As to commerce, we are sorry to learn that the
mercantile speculations have not turned out so fa-
vourably as was expected. The demand has not been
great • but as a proof that the Government is firmly
established, and that it is perfectly regular in all its
movements, the duties are most exactly and even ri-
gorously collected.
The Stockholm Gazette of the 23d ult. contains the
elf cial summons for the appearance at the Gt.neral
Martial Court of the Officers who signed the Conven-
tion for the surrender of Sweaborg, which states that,
whether they appear or not, the cause will be taken
under consideration and adjudicated according to law.
The Gazette of the 22d mentions a report to the King
from Mr. C. J. THORNTON, Commander of the ship
Frederic, dated Lick°, Bth July, 1808, stating, that
be had taken possession of Kasko, and that the Rus-
sian Major-General Count OaLow DESISOFF, who had
his head-quarters at Christenestad, had been obliged
to retreat after a severe battle, in which the Swedes
gained the advantage : 110 of the Emperor's own
Life COssacks, were, besides others, made prisoners.
In the Gazette of to-morrow evening will appear an
Order for proroguing the Parliament from Saturday
the 20th instant, to Tuesday the Ist of November.
It is not actually fixed that it shall assemble, but Mi-
nisters own thar it may be necessary.
Yesterday, at Mr. CaNsixo's Office, a Cabinet
Council was held.
Knightsbridge yesterday presented a very Military
Spectacle. At an early hour the first regiment of
Life Guards paraded through with colours flying,
and attended by their very superior band of music ;
and between eleven and twelve an exchange of men
took place at the Foot Guard Barrack.
The grenadier and light infantry companies of the
Guards are expected to-be immediately brigaded and
sent on foreign service, which will complete the effec-
tive force of this corps, with those already under
orders, to near 6000 rank and file.

The Cambridge Militia have volunteered to serve
in Spain, and several of our Militia litegiments are
expected to imitate the example.
The Isle of Man Volunteers, a numerous and well-
appointed corps, under the command of Colonel

ROYAL FETE AT OLD Wroinsoa.--Iler Royal
Highness Princess Etrassrrit: gave a most splendid
fete, en Wednesday last, at her beautiful cottae. All
' the decorations and arrangements displayed` the ele-
gant and refined taste of her Royal Highness. The
fawn was surrounded with marquees, containing ta-
bles laid out in the most sumptuous stile for the vi-
sitors. Her Mannery and the Patric:ass= dined in
the cottage. The company began to arrive at two
o'clock, and at three dinner was served, which was
hot, and consisted of every delicacy of the F.eason,
.
with turtle and venison at every table. The finest
fruits graced the derrert. The bands of the Oxford
Blues and the Staffordshire Militia were stationed on
the Lawn, and played the most favourite airs during
the repast, and all was harmony and delight. After
dinner a country fair was held on the Lav n. The
booths were decorated with flowers, and attended by
the Royal domestics, who performed the parts of
Mercluatelr d M des, and disposed of their ribbons,
true lover's knots, toys, rattles, hobby-horses, &c. &c.
with rnivh naivete. Tea was then served, and at six
o'clock her MAJESTY and Princess AUGUSTA took
leave of the company, and returned to the Castle to
meet his MAJESTY on his return from London. Prin-
cess ELIZABETH accompanied her Royal Mother to
the carriage, and on her return, the merry fiddle, ta-
bor, and pipe, resounded through the plain, and above
thirty young persons, the children of the Noble Visi-
tors "footed it o'er the plain" until the dews of the even-
ing reminded the happy party of returning home. It
was a most interesting sight ; Lady ISABELLA
THYNNE, with. great affability, joined the juvenile
party, and danced several merry dances with them.
The ladies were all uncovered, their heads muck

or-
namented with diamond combs, bunches of flowers,
Scc..the dresses white. Her MAJESTY was in great
spirits, and expressed much delight at the festive
scene. She wore a dress of royal purple crape over
white satin, head dress of the same, and richly orna-
