ANTWERP, AUGUST 28.
The Mayor of this City has issued the following
Proclamation :

" Our advantageous situation, the flourishing date to which
our city was destined, and at which it partly arrived; tlie great
deposits which exist within our walls have drawn on us the envy
of the most inveterate enemy of France. Her interest requires
our downfall ; willingly would she make our beautiful city another ,
Copenhagen. But the mind of the great Napoleon is careful fqr
our fate: From his continual affection for his good city of Atit-
werp, he has sent us a Prince to defend and delivel• us, wino is
the honour of France and the delight of the army. Our Gre'vernor,
equally distinguished for his civil and military virtue*" will co-
operate for this purpose with the well-disciplined andbrave troop'
of the General. •
" On our part,'llso, we have duties to fulfil,,jrnd have already
made a beginning.
" of confidence, we have remained tif:disturbed, and have
endeavoured to co-operate with ardour ir. the general defence.—
Let us then venture to give every prce of our unshaken resolu-
tion.
" His Majesty the Emperor !v.s" ordered that this city, and the
inhabitants, shall provide therirselves with all necessary provision
for six Months. Admirable:* the providential care which the wis-
dom of the hero takes ff.,r us, and certainly this care does not ori-
ginate from fear, fof none of us can with reason know fear.
" A Committr; from the Municipal Council, to take the most
effectual Ingr.:ref to fulfil this salutary command, bas been form-
ed; but !se carry it into execution, the assistance of all the more
wealtl4 citizens will lan required. Let us, therefore, at the invi-
tlkan of the wise providence of our Emperor, early place ourselves
in a state of preparation against all possitla events.
•
s'The more necessitous classes ef the inhabitants may rely on'
tithe paternal care of the magistracy, which will take care for their
maintenance in case of need. The magistracy will exert its utmost
endeavours to prove that they have entered into and fulfilled the
views of his Majesty.

[FROM TILE SEMINARIO PAtTRIOTICO.I
EXTRAcT FROM TILE SECOND INTEJSCEPTED LETTER FROM
M4RSIIAL SOULT TO XING JOSEPH, DATED FROM LA
PUEBLA DE SANATIRIA, JUNE 23.
46 Though this paper-does not contain intelligence
of greet importance, nevertheless the observations of
its writer are very interesting, and throw much light,
upon actual occurrences. As our object is not met.*
to relate the events of the day, but to collect materials
for history, we will give an extract from this letter,
which may be useful to those who purpose to transmit
to posterity events so highly memorable.
44 It comprehends three topics.: the judgmaat upona
the Generals who serve under his command, an enu-
meration of the wants of his army, and some observa-
tions on the mode of making war in Spain. He praises
i the conduct of General Franceschi, bearer of the in-
Itercepted dispatches, and solicits that Joseph m ty al-
low of hhequick return, because his presence, he says,
is neceeary for the re-establishment of the division Of
thn light cavalry which he commands: This division
wasio pass the Duero, byZamora, and establish itself
on the road to Cuidad Rodrigo. He also praises
greatly Capt. Anthoine, his Aid-de-Camp, .who ac-
companied Franceschi. General Rouya had at Lugo
joined to his army a detachment of mountain artillery,
which had been left under the orders of Marshal Ney,
and not employed by him.
44- Here the praises cease, and he begins to cens'ire
the Generals who have not done their duty, and who
stein tired of the war in Spain :
