His Majzsty's ship Tartar, June 9.
SIR—I have the honour to acquaint you, that on
the kith May, 1809; I Chased on shore near Felix-
berg, on the Coast of Couriand, a Danish sloop pri-
vateer, of 4 gum, two of ',hem 12-pounders, oil slides,
and two long 4-pounders ; the crew, 21 io number.,
landing with their musl.as, and king joined by some
Of the country people, posted themselves behind the
Sand Hills, near the Bach. The vessel appearing
calculated to do much mischief to the trade,,l sent
the Boats of this ship, under the command of Lieu.
tenants Sykes and Parker, with ord;:rs either to bring.,
Ater off or to destroy.h:r, the former cf which they
effected with consideral;le address and activity, and
without loss, very soon g4..v.iag the vessel's guns to
bear upon the Belch. • •
. Before' the Danes abandoned her they' 'placed a
lighted candle in a 12-pounder cartridge of gunpow-
der, in the magazine, where there was some hundred
weight beside, which was happily discovered by one
of the boat's crew, who immediately grasped it in
hand, and extinguished it, when it had burned down
within half au inch of the powder ' • another minute tan
all probability would have been the destruction of every
man on board and alongside the VeSsel ; a dishonour-
able mode of warfare necessary to be known, to be
properly guarded against. .
have the honour to be, &c. (Signed)
Jos. BAKER, Captain.

SPAIN.

DECIME OF THE JUN IA OF SPAIN.

An Address from the Suprem2 Junta to the Spa--
lush People, hrev.thing the warmest sentiments of pa-
been.rec:rived in town ; but so disfigured
by the translati,,n; that. we are anxious to procure a
copy .of the original, that we may lay a faithful ver-
sion of it before our Readers. In the meantime, it
concludes with the following Decree :
The Sepretne,Governieg Power of the Kingdom, considering
it eo be its primary obligation to free the Country front the: evils
which have until now afflicted it—all which have been occesion-
ed. by i?le arbitrary laws to which it has been subject—pursnitig
the just add.tuild intentieets of our very beloved King, Ferdinand
VII. who was desirous to reconstitute the Monarchy, re-estab-
iishiug in it the National Representation of its ancient Cortes—
desiroui that the Nation should take; before the eyes of Europe
and of the Universe, the noble-and strong acts of a people worthily
and legally constituted—desirous that this great work should be
performed, which the circumstances command, and the heroic
.sacrifices of the pee; le require—anxious that it should approach
to that degree of pcsfectien which men are allowed to obtain
when they proceed with good faith, and with a desire of 'doirg
right, has decreed as follows :
• lst,,All wise Spaniards who have meditate:! on propcts o(
Reform, with respect to the constitution of the. kingdom m gene-
ral, as well at on the particelar branches of public adminivration,
are invited by the Junta to communicate their ideas with full
liberty; and as they may judge may answer best for the good of
th-!r country.
2. Three ivrltingisball be sent to the Junta through the Secre-
tary's cifs4e, within the term two months from the date of Oil;
Decree, and the authors will subscribe their netnei; or a mark by
which they may be khowti in proper time. - • •
3. Thesennitings being examined in a sunitnarytfray, the wri-
ters of those which are found to be really useful, by the observa-
tions or by the knowledge they contain, shall be called upon in
order to takel part in the Corntuissini of Reform which ehuU
be immediately created.
4. These Commissions shall be pretided each by a Member of
the Jul ta ; and in them will be examined and prepared the works
which are to be presented for approbation.
5. The projects approved of by the. Junta shall be presented to
the National Sanction, and from it willreceive the character, the
authority, and the force of law.
6. The Junta don not anticipate its judgment, to prepossess
the public opinion with respect to those projects ; it only believes,
that it ought to ennmence from this moment certain principles,
upon which the wish and desire of the nation has irrevocably re-
solved, and from which nothing that, can be written or discussed
on the subject of Reform can alter. .Those principles are reduced
to the following :
Tile Catholic RPosiolle Rinoin Religion ii the hilly Religloh of
the :AA, e. •
The Constituton of kialn'ri to be a Morierchi; hereditary- in
Ferdinand VII. his ilesceindonts, and those called by the law to
. .
succeed them. .

CASSEL. MAY, PR.
•
Cur Monikur of yesterday contains an official ac-
count of the retaking of Fort Donitz, by the West-
phalian Gener.3lD'Albignac. The robber Schill left
a garrison of 1500 men in the place. A company of
grenadiers, who landed at the foot of the walls, under
a well directed fire of artillery, were safficit:at to carry
the fort, and to put 'this banditti to flight, with the
loss of 400 killed, SOO prisoners, and a great number
wounded. By this event 150. Frenchmen, Westpha-
lians, and several couriers who had fallen into the
hands of Schill, have been set at liberty.
The manufacture and sale of gunpowder, in West.
phalia, are henceforth to be under the superintendence
of the .Minister at War, as also the transit of foreign
gun-powder, as an article of commerce.
