The following proclamation has been addressed t,
the inhabitants, by the Magistracy, Clergy, licads o,
Cloisters, and Deputies of the different wards :
" The ardent desire with which we are animated
to prevent fresh calamities, imposes upon us the duty
of exhorting you to reject all the instigations of the
enemies of peace and order, and to.divest yourselves
of those fatal conceits which enthusiasts, and persons
devoted to the—eternal enemies of-the Continent, are
circulating among you. The decisive advantages
obtained by the French, should suffice to anni-
hilikte criminal hopes, and ought to inspire with con-
fidence and tranquillity all true Spaniards, .and all
those who are friends to the peace and prosperity of
their common country. An irresistible force has
brought under subjection the provinces of Biscay,
Santander, and Rioja, and the kingdoms of Navarre,
Arragon, Catalonia, and the two Castiles ; it has put
to flight 'all the armies that were destined to oppose
it ; it *evened the English, who mislead the un-
thinking multitude with bravadoes and promises of
mighty assistance ; who at this moment are abandoning
their Allies, who have no where dared to offer auy
resistance, and have no other object in view, but to
preserve the remains of an army-exhausted. with fa-
tigues, and who are pursued at the point of the bayo-
net, tto those vessels which have only landed on the
Continent, to involve Spain in calamity. They must
be enemies.both to themselves and their country, who
shut their eyes against so manifest a truth, and who

papers to the Sth inst. and Spanish papers and letters
to the '2d, -German papers to the 4th, and letters from
Heligoland to the 11th inst.
NAPoLEosr has returned to Paris, and the Imperial
Guard is expected to return in the course of the pre-
sent month.

The accounts from Spain add little or nothing to
what was before known. The affair of the 13th ult.
in which Venegas was defeated, is referred to. The
loss of the Spaniards is stated as not having been
more than 2000 men. The French force is stated to
have been 15,000, the Spanish only 7000 men. The
Duke del Infantado then retreated towards Valencia,
and was followed by the French in that direction. His
army, after the affair of Venegas, consisted of 25 or
20,000 men ; the Valencians had 5000, and the
Marquis PALactos at least 12,000. From Andalusia
12,000 more were to be speedily raised! The later
letters mention the entrance of the Duke into Gre-
nada : he meant to pmceed to la Carolina. It is
stated in these letters that expectations were raised

severe and bloody contests. The Turks set on fire
several of the villages of their enemies. Two Aus-
trian regiments have had an engagement with the
Turks. The fortresses on the frontiers have fired upon
each other, and a number of persons have lost their
lives. The Bosnians, however, have not discontinued
their inroads. These events have occurred in the
vicinity of Bihatoch on the Unna. The Vizier and
the Consul have mutually exerted themselves to effect
a reconciliation, and to prevent further bloodshed ;
but it is greatly to be feared that their efforts will be
unavailing.
VIENNA, lAN. Cl.
The following article is extracted from our Court
Gazette :.••-•" The reigning Grand Seignior, Sultan
Muhmud Ham, has notified to our Court his acces-
sion to the throne by a letter dated Constantinople,
the 9th of the month Schwal, in the year of the Hegira
1223. The letter is couched in the most friendly
terms, and gives his Majesty the title of Emperor,
and Pudischach of Austria. The letter in which
Mustapha IV. announced his succession, was not re-
ceived by our Court, because it did not contain the
additional title of Pudischach."

We have forborne to offer aily remarks on the
quiry into the conduct of his Royal Highness
Duke of YORK : indeed the great length which
details of the inquiry have occupied in our minim
put it out of our power, had we even been inclined

perly to our Readers than to us. Our first duty

taken of the business, we most heartily

the scene which is passing, serves to

which shews that there is no character in the Staff
high for the scrutiny of their public Ins:itutions.

Saturday morning the Duke of Yonx waited
his MAJESTY, at Wind;or, and remained with him
about two hours.
Yesterday, at one o'clock, his Excellency
PEDRO CEVALLOS and Suite arrived in town
Portsmoilth. His Secretary has been in L(
some days, which occasioned the mistake in the
pers prematurely announcing his arrival. At the
time two Spanish Couriers, the bowers of disp:
to his Excellency, reached town. By the same
which brought them to England, Ministers reel
dispatches from Mr. FRERE ; and it was wlfo
that the Treaty with the Jung of Seville we:
