TO fiit PEOPLE OF PZMICB.
•
LErrE.R
FRIEND; AND FELLOW COUVERYMEISTI j.-- 4 '•
Trusting that the sentiments I have explsed in
the letter, I had the honour of addressing tdyou on,
the 6th inst. .have found some favour with the liberal
and the enlightened, far there are those who witl never
forgive past errors, I proceed with more confidence
on the great subject, the deliverance of our country.
I judged right when I said in my letter of the 6th
inst. that " our prospects were not flattering, but yet.,
that there was no reason to be dismayed," I judged
so from the high opinion entertained of the illustrious
Leader of the Austrian armies, who has given in the
glorious battle of the Danube, such distinguished
proofs of his superior military talents; and from the
knowledge I have of the detestation universally pre-
vailing against Napoleon Bonaparte. That spell,
which formerly opened so easily every country to the
French armies, this great Magician has completely
destroyed. Front Hispaniola to the Red Sea, from
Cape Nord to Europa Point, he has rendered the
French name odious. As I said in my former letter,
" in what class of society shall we find the friends of
Bonaparte ?" so I say in this—What nation shall we
find that loves him i Is it Germany, where he has
destroyed all its happy, free cities, suppresSed the
states, and exhausted the country of men and money?
Is it poor Poland, which he has perpetually deceived
with false promises to make it again a nation, and by
these deceptions took away her soldiers to perish in
the vain attempt to conquer Egypt, and to subdue
the betrayed inhabitants of Saint Domingo ? Hol-
laad, which he deprived of its ancient liberty, haras-
sed with loans and commercid restrictions—Switzer-
land, which he dictated his law, and who is to ex-
pect soon to be the appanage of some of the illustrious
blood of the BONAPARTES, cannot certainly be his
friends.

How he is liked in Spain we have new proofs every
day, where his disciplined troops are continually
yielding some towns to the per:eveting courage of
Cie brave Patriots. And even in Portugal, where
there was certainly room for improvement, he con-
trived to render his government detested. Is it pos-
sible he should be liked in Italy, where he has, more'
than in any other country, given full scope to hi's
capricious disposition, and impudently violated all
his promises ? •

He began with our poor country—when he entered
Italy in the year 1796, our too irresolute Senate gave
him entrance into our frontier towns, on promise he
would respect her neutrality, and supplied army
with provisions at the daily expence, I believe, of
30,000 sequins, on promise of payment. In a short
time he stirred up Brescia and Bergamo to insurrec-
tion. Whea our Senate armed to restore order, he
called it going to war against him, and rejecting
every pacific proposition made by our government,
seized on all the Terra Firma ; but as the city of Ve-
nice is, by its position, impregnable, he made a treaty
at Milan, which I have myself seen, in the month of
May, 1797, stipulating to maintain the Republic, and
to augment its territories. You know that in a few
moans afterwards a part of our country he sold,
another he gave away, and the ships in the islands he
took to himself, and then, in a few years, he finished
by taking all.
Remember, Italians! one of his great promiie;
was to make Italy a great nation—,see how well he
has fulfilled it. He has destroyed its integrity—he
has cut off some of its principal limbs, -Piedmont '
was the first that was made a department of France,
then Parma and Placentia—then the Republic of
Genoa, which, with the Cisalpine, Swiss, and Bata-
vian Republic, he was bound by.the Treaty of Lune- i!
ville to preserve independent. But when does he ever
keep his word ? It was with 'Tuscany he carried to
excess his barbarous caprice of disposing of nations
like herds of cattle. He first deprived her of her be-
loved Sovereign, Archduke Ferdinand, and erected it
into a small kingdom, but he soon pulled down this
throne of his own making, and kicked out of it the
Sovereign of his own creation, the Queen of Etruria,
the unfortunate daughter of his good Ally, Charles
the Fourth of Spain, and decreed, that the Tuscan:
should be French. I should not be surprised if he
made a decree that the language of Petrarch should
be ftrohititrd on the hanks of the Arno. But his Im,
penal Majesty again changed his mind, and finding
that his august sitter, Madame Bacchiocchi, had not
enough of the Republic of Lucca, be made the poor
Tuscans over to her, though I believe she holds only as
a lief from Napoleon, for this famous destroyer of feu-
dalism is creating every day new Princes and Dukes.
Our poor country gives the title and revenues to 12
of these new Dukes. Even sonic parts of the Roman
State have been annexed to France—the Alps, the
Appennines, the Sea, ale no more the boundaries of
Italy ; it is no more that fair country so aptly des-,
cribed by our immortal Poet,

II bel
Che Appenine parte,
II mar Cironda a l'Alpe.

in all this conduct there is great features of
madness, he puts down kingdoms and makes republics
—then down with republics, and mvkes more king-
doms than ever—he drives the Pope out of Rome,
then gives his estate back again, and calls him to
Paris to crown him, and in return for this robs . him
again of his dominions, and makes him a prisoner in
his own city.
Diruit, zdificet, mutat, quadrata rotundis.
I beg yo-4 to observe, that I do not speak from pas-
sion—Bonaparte has done me no injury ; on the con.
trary, from opposite men I haye suffered much, so
that human patience was nearly exhausted, but a
guaidian angel protected me ; he said, 64 Bona-
parte is a destroyer of your country, he is a tyrant in
the true sense of the word • submit to the pressure of
circumstances however painful, endure every evil, but
don't disgrace yourself by flying to him for protec-
tion." I listened to the salutary voice, I have irre-
vocably committed my fortune, and perhaps .my life
on his fall ; I have done my duty and feel happy.
0, Italians ! and above all, you Venetialisohe first
victims of his perfidy, what a happy opportunity is
offered to you now to free your country from your
invaders, your plunderers, to recover your name, your
rights, your freedom.
The decisive check given by Prince Charles on the
Danube bath paralyzed the motion of this hitherto
fortunate Usurper. The infuriated Tyrant has called
to.his assistance all his forces from every part of bis
conquests. Our Italian aiii'Dalmatian provinces are

nearly aripped of his troops. Follow the example
of Mir tifkighipouTre ,pliy.neet nOWstaymen,. ths:beisye
li'yrolese. Arise all in a mas—,our Gondoliers alone
with, their oars, our peasants with their forts and
reaping-hooks-, are sditclent to overcome
'or Frenchmen left in your country. But no assassiiia-
thins, no Sicilian Vespers, they me unworthy of Chris-
tians, and disgrace 'an honourable cause. Arise !
instantaneously, be unanimous, and you will meet
hardly any resistance.
The Ministers of this country have declared In par-
liament, that any nation who shales elf the yoke of
Bonaparte becomes the Ally of England. As soon
then as you have effected it, you are to expect Engli,ll
vessels entering our numerous ports in Dalmatia,
Istria, Venice itself, with military stores and provi.
sions of every kind.
The moment you have got your country free from
the French, send immediately Deputies to the Arch-
duke Charles for his orders—obey implicitly his com-
mands, for he is ow only Leaclerl the deliverer of our
country and all Europe. I am convinced that our
victory will be certain and complete. Never was Bo.!,
naparte in so perilous a situation ; he is with his army
not amounting to 200,000 men, at 200 leagues
from the frontiers of France, on one side or the
Danube ; on the opposite side is the Austrian Hero,
with superior force. All around the Austrians are
friends and loving subjects—Bonaparte is surrounded
with enemies and reluctant slaves—Suabia, Tyrol,
the Grisons, are all in arms, and soon, probably, Swit-
zerland will join. We, with our fellow-countrymen,
the intrepid Sclavonians, may soon collect 50004*
men. The North of Germany is also inimical; Mid'
thus will close a circle of 4. or 500,0(X) hostile tioapi-
around him ; add to this a mighty expedition, which
is going tosail from Englis:i ports ; its destination is.
wisely.concealed, but it will undoubtedly produce a
powerful diversion. Every thing then promises the
most complete success. I have only one fear, this is,
peace—but, after ten years experience, it is impos-
sible they can consent to any peace, but that which
will put it out of his power to disturb the world again.
—Now then, my friends, is the moment to recover
your name, your glory, the security of your property
and of your families. Look around you, all other
nations are breaking their chains; will you be the only
one to kiss them i Impossible ! infamy and miser y
would be your lot. Oh 1 that I had a hundredth part of
that influence which my illustrious uncle possessed, the
Chevalier Emo, the regenerator of our navy, and his
not less illustrious brother, Alvise, whose voice in our
great Council was as commanding z,s that of Cato in
the Senate of lle.ome. But my early years, miserably
wasted, give me no right to form such an expectation
—my c.nly hope is to obtain your forgiveness.
I remain your faithful servant,
And affectipnate fellow-countryman,

2d P. S.—FRIDAY, JUNE 30.—When I wrote this

finally seized on all Me Papal dominions, and ordered
that the Romans should become French. This news
came here only to-day. Is there any governing men
who can yet be mistaken as to his character, who
cannot see where lie will go if not stopped ? If there
is such, he is not fit to govern geese, much less men.

The official accounts brought by captain WINTER,
of the Cadmus, were published in the Gazette last
night. 'They deserve attention, not merely as a de-
tail of the events which they record, but asliving a

It appears, that after the capture of St. Jago by
the Spaniards, the French having formed a junction
between the troops of Corunna and St.Jago, by their
superior numbers, obliged the Brigadierpeneral CAR-
RERA to retreat; and that much of his ammunition
being destrbyed by the continued rains, and Ponte-
vedra being too far distant from the coast to receive
supplies, he had fallen back, with great judgment,
to the well-chosen position of San Payo. Here he
was attacked by Marshal NEY on the 7th ult.. with a
superior force, but he succeeded in forcing him to
retreat with disaster and disgrace. The following are
the details :—.

ADMIRALTY OFFICE, JULY 4.
Copies of two Letters from Captain M4Kibley, of his Majesty's

Ship the Lively, to the Hon. William Wellesley Pole.

Lively,'Vigo, June 7.

Strt—Be pleased to inform my Lords Commis-
sioners of the Admiralty, thau yesterday evening, an
express arrived from a Spanish officer at San •-Payo to
Commodore Don Juan Carransas, that the Conde de
Norona was retiring with his division of the Galician
army from Pontevedra to that place, and desiring
boats might be there to convey the troops across the
river (the bridge having been broken down on the
7th of May), Commodore Don J. Carransas request-
ing assistance, Captain Winter wit's the Cadmus ( who
had been obliged to put back from stress of.weather),
immediately sailed up the river with the Portuguese
schooner Curiosa, under my orders frop the Hoponr-
)
able Vice-Admiral Berkeley,- the Tigre Spanish'
schooner of war; ..ar)d as many boats and vessels as.
could possikt,ly be collected. • . 1
_

This retrogrult-merernent caused me math "mi.

ety, and I very early this morning scent
..up in ti,-
barge to Sari Payo, where I found Brigadier Genera!
•Carrera strongly frosted on the south side of tl.-
bridge (The Conde de Norona being at Redondela',,
and in my interview with him, I. learnt that
{enemy, after the Brigadier General had taker. Sant,.
ago, united his forces from Lugo to those of Cony,

some 12-pounders.

force,being very much superior to the Brigt•
dier's, he retreated to Caldas and Pontevedra, where
the Conde de Norona joine..l. From the excessive
and continued heavy rains we have had of late, much
of the ammunition was unavoidably damaged, and
Pontevedra being too distant to receire any snore
when attacked, the fidlirg back on such a stroug po •
sition was well conceived and moFt ably erecuted:.=.
On a height above the bridge they had a battery of
two eighteen pounder:, and this army war increased to'
between six and seven thousand men armed, and-three
thousand fine young men without arms, one hondrei -
and twenty horse, nir.e field pieces, act;ng under the
immediate direction of the Brigadier General.
At nine the enemy appeared on the other side in
great force, and although the Galician troops had
undergone much fatigue, and suffered greatly from
'the inclemency of the weather, to which they Lad

enemy, nothing could exceed the animation and.,

artillery was moved with great alacrity, and well
served.

On my return on board I landed my marines and
twentyfive seamen at the castle (having taken them
on board some days past) ; and Lieutenant Colonel
Carroll, in the most zealous and handsome manner,
offered his services to assist Captain Crawford in de-
fence of the castle. Sixty soldiers, whom he brought
from Gijon with him, (part of nut army) at his ear-
nest request were lanciid, and 1 supplied them with
arms ; and every thing was put in the best possible
grder of defence by ComModore Don Juan Carrin-
sas, Don Bernado Gonsalez the Governor, and Cap-
tain- Crawford, of his Majesty's'ship Venus. • .1 have

Lively, Vigo, June lq,
Sir—l concluded my letter of the 7th instant, which
I did myself the honour of writing to acquaint you,
for the information of the Lords Commissioners of
the Admiralty, tle:t the enemy had begun an attack
' at half past nine that morning on the Spanish troops
under tae command. of Brigadier-Geaeral Carrera,
on the south side oft)* bridge of St: Pays.
"haste to request you will be pleased to make
known to their Lordships, that the enemy, having
taken post on the north side of the bridge, 4 below
it, shot across, in houses, and in a wood a little below
it, kept up his attack, supported with field.atairgery
and three twelve-pounders, with great vivacity during
the whole of that day (tLe 7th), whickWas, sustained
by the Galician army with great coolness and bra
very.—During the night of tht.',7tit, the enemy erected
a battery. Commodore Don Alan Carransas sent up
'three gun boats, one of which' Captaio 'Winter *an-,
• tied, under the charge of Lieutenant Jefferssqk hiss_..`
First Lieutenant. At daylight in the morning of.tik
Bth, the enemy opened his tire, both on the GaliOrt ,
troops and the boats ; the latter of which, fro* tie
tide being up, got near, and destroyed the eneirqrs
batteries. At the fall of the tide the engto tolifle
two desperate attempts to cross below the bridge with
( his cavalry and hif:Antry, but the greaf courago,oo
spirit displayed by our friends repulsed thewpith
great slaughter. A body of them went highei up
the river to the bridge to SOttomayar, and that active
and brave officer Don Pable Murillo teals detached
with a division to oppose them, and the enemy, after
persevering for an hour and a helf, were obliged to
give way to the superior gallantry of the Spaniards,
and retreated to San Payo, where another attack,
during a thick fog, was again made by the enemy,
who, as in the former ones, was driven back, and
Marshal Ney, who commanded the French troops,
consisting of eight thousand Men, two thousand five
hundred cavalry, with field artillery and two twel#e.
pounders, experienced a defeat from a new raised
army consisting of six thousand armed men, and three
thousand without arms, and some small field artillery,
with, two eighteen-pounders, and in the night they re-
treated, leaving some of his wounded. The enemy
burnt* many of their dead, and in one pit has been dis-
covered thirty buried ; his loss must have beengreat.
The loss on the side of the Spaniards has been trifling,
only one hundred and ten killed and wounded. Cap-
tain Vynter, who was some time at the Camp, and
who had a narrow escape, a grape shot having graz.
ed his hat, described to me that such was the anima-
: tion of the Spanish troops, that it was with difficulty
1 they were restrained by their officers from pushing
across.

Thus, Sir, the spirit and good conduct of this di-
vision of the Spanish Galician army who, though -
without almost every part of clothing, and exposed
to heavy rains without shelter, had shewn to their

Other particulars have reached us in letters froth
riyinonth; bat some of theta • so. extrav:sant, **ben
cofnpared with the dfficial details, that we cannot give
them a place. This morning, boy:ever, the official
details of the recapture of Corunna and Ferrol, by the
Spaniards, were received by Government. It appears
that in consequence of the gallant actions fought'
by the Spaniards near Ponte Vedra, Marshal IlEv
has been obliged to evacuate Ferrol and Corunna,
aftei spiking all the guns, blowing up the ammuni-
tion; burning the magazines, store-house, &c. and on
the 23a ult. had retreated as far as Lugo. The re-
mains of SOIMT'S corps Were unable to effect a junc-
tion frith ir; as was asserted in The French papers ;
he retriained at the Valley of Monte Forte on the 9th
u!!. to!ally destitute of artillery, ammunition, and ma-
gazines: His army was almost naked, in great want
c.f previsions, expecting; every day to be attacked by'
the: Marquis DE ROMANA who had assembled an
AT! of 20,,000 men at Orense, for that purpose.
