IiVTERIAPIT.D LITT:U.I'e •

Among the spoils which fell into the bebsim of tin
gallant heroes, who pursued the enemy In Me Sight,
after the glorious Battle of Oalamadc*, not die least
nioatomo perhaps, in 4 political point of wteiv-, *ire
the official document* which were. entrusted th the
St df Officers of MAJUIDNeS army, who fell /titer' our
hands. Among these were dispatches freathe wari-
sus prepeh Geierals to each others Isbetkome Port-
folio wits load the duplicate of 'a 'dispatch from
King Josses', 'addressed to the Duke 4E CADORE,
and a letter to Marshal MARMON?, written on the
eve of the battle, of which we have been fortunate
enough to obtain copies.
The former presents a moiing picture of the dis-
tress, to which his mock Majesty of Spain .and the
Indies is reduced, by lebmitting to become the tool
of the ituffien, who, age of Wonders, calls him-
self an Emperor and sing 1. How enviable is the
situation of the unfortunate Brother of the despot,
who has found an asylum in this land of liberty and
peace, when compared with the wretched lot of the
mushroom Kings of Spain and Holland ! May the'
opplications of the *retched JOSEPH be echoed from
me Douro to the Dwioa, until they infuse something
* manhood and humanity into the bosoms of the
boldly cowards, who follow in the fell Tyrant's
sin! This is the regeneration, which we trust the
i,thievements of a WELLINGTON, under the auspices
I'd•
Paov loom!, will effect--the miserable stage trick
of che regeneration cf Poland may for a while amuse
Mose unthinking men who suppose that BONAPARTR
bs the good of mankind at heart—merely because
Irsays so in his Bulletins—yes, he will be the Pro-
estor-of Poland, and of Russia too, if her population
re permit him, but it will be such protection as
biles give to Limbs-covering and devduring them !

" Palace of the Escurial,. July 10,181,2.
My Imperial Brother having, according,to the
iforroaticn received here by de last Est afettes from
france, set out to prosecute the war which his'
Majesty has been pleased,to enter upon with Russia,
and his Majesty not having thought proper perso-
nally to reply to my former applications, I am left no
alternative but that of communicating with his Ma-
ier through your Excellency.
" Be plemed then, Sir, to represent to my Impe..
tial Brother the distressed state in which the late
'tents in Spain have placed me. I have been long
without the means, as his Majesty already knows, of
paying the few Spanish troops who remain faithful
to/ny interests. The troops of the Emperor and King,
Tay brother, have hitherto subsisted by levying con-
tributions upon the inhabitants ; but the Spanish
deeds cannot subsist in this manner, as their fellow
countrymen are, one and all, actuated by a spirit of
hostility to the cause which they have espoused, and
which lam sent here to support. The superinten-
dence of the Revenue department of Spain, difficult
4•s it is to make it answer any productive purpose,. is
en taken from me- and confided to a stranger, M.
