" TO MIS aXCELLENCY GIINLIRAL !ANUS'S,
a Your Excellency will do me the credit to attri-
bute to humanity alone the information, which isthat
the chief column of my army has effected a junction
with that part under the command of Major-General
Gower. Your Excellency is, without doubt, acquain•
ted, that another column is about one league front-the
capitals awaiting my instructions. I have likewise
various reinforcements on board of ship, together with
a squadron ready to co-operate with the operations I
am now carrying on. It is my wish therefore,. after
'this faithful statement, to be acquainted it your
Excellency still persists in returning the same an-
swer as that contained in your letter ofyestenlay to the
Major-General, who has my authority to treat with
you on that subject. The . bearer of this, Captain
Whittingham, has orders to wait half ate -hour for
your Excellency's answer, whether or no.

I have the honour to be, Scc."

laws of humanity, to which your Excellency refers,
permit me to observe, that whoever observes the right
'definition of them will agree with me, that it is your
Excellency (as an aggressor), and not I, who comply
merely with what justice and honour points out, that
violates them. 1 have the honour to be, &c.

AFTER THE BATTLE OF THE STH OP JULY.
IN lIMATION OF THE SPANISH GENERAL.
" Buenos Ayres, Stls July, 1507.
" TO Mt FICET.I.ENCY fIINIMAL WHIT/MOCK,
" The same humane sentiments which induced your
Excellency to propose a capitulation to my troops,
without making yourself acquainted with my re-
sources, at present animate me, well informed, that I
have made prisoners eighty officers, of different ranks,
above one thousand soldiers, and at least double that
number of slain of your Excellency's troops, not-
withstanding no attack has as yet reached the centre
of my army. With a wish to prevent a further rfu-
.tiosi of blood, and th give your Excellency a cleat idea
-of Spanish generosity, I have to propose that . your
Excellency being willing to re-embark the. remainder
of your army, evacuate Monte Video, and all the Ri-
ver Plata, leaving hostages for the fulfilment of the
treaty, I will not only restore those troops I have just
made "soners, but also those taken from General
I3eresford ; giving your Excellency to understand at
the same time, in case these terms are. not 'complied
with, I cannot answer for the rigorous treatment the
prisoners in my possession may experience from the
exasprested ardour of my soldiers, who have the more
reason to he so, since three of my aides-de-camp have
been wounded after presenting themselves in various
, parts with flags of truce ; and, in consequence, I
transmit this to your Excellency by a British Officer,
and expect an answer in the course of an hour,
" I have the honour to be, &c.

P. S. After writing the above, General Craufurd
and all his Brigade, together with Officers of other
Regiments, have fallen into my. hands."

entering this post ; and your Excellency having resu-
med the fire of your artillery, I presume you are not
agreeable to a cessation of hostilities.

wounded, who require assistance ; and I therefore pro-
pose to your Excellency to stop all firing whatever,

PARIS, DECEMBER tie.

The Queen Regent of Etruria arrived at Milan On
the 17th instant. The Vice King immediately waited
on her Majesty, who, after having taken some rest and
refreshment, proceeded with the young King, her son,
to the Royal Palace, where she hada pritate audience
of the Emperor 2nd King.
Madame hi Fayette died at Paris nut thn.9.4th inst.
She was the daughter of the Dnkc d'App, son. of
the Marshal de Noailles, and wife of aert.la Fayette.

VIENNA, DECEMBER .
It is now confirmed that our Courthas granted a
passage to the ten thousand Russian troops coming
from the Seven Islands, and who are n,ow assembling
in the Venetian territory. They arc to pass by Pest
and Kaschau, on their returnhome.

The' last official accounts from Constantinople con-
firm the report of an insurrection having broken out
Among the people about the end of November ; it was
speedily quelled. The run o.irs that had gone abroad
of the departure of General Sebastiani, were wholly
without toundation. These rumours most probably
arose iioni the General having sent away a number of
chests and trunks by Odessa, which have already ar-
rived at Lemberg. Among them is the body of his
wife, embalmed, who died at Constantinople, and
that of his child, only six months o).
Count Metternich is to continue as Austrian Mini-
ster at Paris. •

MADRID, DEC. 8.

The French army, under the command of General
Junot, arrived on the 26th of November at Abrantes.
The advanced. guard had entered that city before the
_Portuguese Government knew of the army having
marched. The troops marched ten. leagues a day
through bad roads and constant rain.
As soon as the Prince Regent. was informed of the
proximity of the French troops, intrigues were set at
work on all sides, and the Prince resolved to embark
on board the ships with his treasures, and every thing
most precious. On the :30th of 'November the ad-
vanced guard of the FrenCh troops arrived at Lisbon,
and on the Ist, the.anniversary;of,the day on which
the House of Braganza, row against file Spaniards
and hoisted its'standardagainst theirs, on'that same
day the Braganza flag was replaced by that of the
French.' To thii singular circumstance, which the
Portuguese superstition did not fail to remark, was
added another—a horrible earthquake was felt six
hours before ; but the moment the French flag was
hoisted, the tempest ceased and the weather became
serene.

The six Portuguese ships of the line, laden with
women, children, furniture, &c. without water, badly
provisioned, set sail, some say for the liraLils, but
probably for England.
There was a moment of fear ; a great city like
Lisbon has more risk to run in such moments, from
revolution on the part of the populace, than on the
part of the enemy : but a French battalion arrived in
time to establish order.

The success of this Expedition, remarkable for the
extraordinary promptitude of the march of the troops
and the activity of the General in Chief, has placed in
the hands of the French six frigates, twelve brigs,
four sail of the line, several on the stocks, and an
arsenal well stocked with timber and iron.

AU the English property, whether moveable or,
immoveable, has been put under sequestration.
BAYONNE, DEC.I 7.

The report ciculated relative to the departure of a
Spanish Prince with the Braganza Family, is in some
measure confirmed ; but the circumstance is of less
importance than was at first suppOsed. The Prince is
Don Pedro, son of Don Gabriel, brother of the King
of Spain, and a Pcrtuguese Prints;, the issue of a
branci of the Royal House. The two parents of Don
Pedro died suddenly, anti the Prince, though an in-
fant of Spain, was sent to Lisbon► a long time ago,
brought up as a Member of the House eißraganra,
and destined, as we hear, to marry the Odest &ugh--
ter-of the Prince of Brazil.
All the letters from Lisbon affirm that the Frenck
troops obcerve the best discipline. The batteries are

tion of Brannau, that it will atlimsl.4,,rm• • ' evai test-

COPENHAGEN, DECEIEtBaIit
The merchants of Copenhagen presented a petition
to the Prince to authorise, under thtshperinietulance
of the police, a correspondence with England* relative
to the personal affairs of Danish subjects, and co es -
blish a distinction between objects sent on English ac-
count and those destined to reimburse the Dania) mer-
chants. The Prince has just sent the following reply:
a I must acquaint the Trade, that it is Impeelibis to modify the
Orders Contained in the publications of the fth and 14th Sept.--
The King, in confining himself to the sequestration of enemy's
property, hat dont all that was In his power to assist those of his
sesjects whose fortunes might fall into the hands of the Engfisi-+
he has even exceeded what so perfidious an enemy merits—be-
Opts, nothing ought to chill ilte ardaar of a noble vengeance :
mad the merchants may ut•onee;• by arming privateers, recover
their capital, and avenge' the Country and the-King. With re-
spect to the re-establishment of a correspondence, that madam is
incompatible with the Orderi given ed henk off all ecinstniunica-
don between England and the Ctintinent. We ought torcject such
an idea in a country like Denmarli'wh'ere laws are passed not
for mere pleasantry, and to be brAltei!,. The King is not igno-
rant that measures demanded by the general welfare often injure
the personal interests of some of his fullest, ; but the testimony
ofhi, conscience consoles him; having preserved as ions aepossible
to his people the benefitt'of price, and hasiingakered his conduct
only at the period when the' most revoltisgiaressiost twovoked
the most vigorous resistance against n perfidllins seseniv:

Mr. Gordon, jun. a pawnbroker, in Si.. Mittin's-lane.
Mr. Gordon asked him whose
