VALENCIA, JULY 19.

On the SCti of this month his Excellency the Mar-
quis Palacio. Captain-General of the Kingdoms of
Arragon, Valencia, and Murcia, was received by
she garrison, and an immense number of people of
all classes. We 'copy sonic part of the proclamation
issued on the 84 from AI cant, to the faithful inha-
hitarits of that city and kingdom t
7 From the moment I set foot on this ground and
'hair of the,loss.sof Tarragona, my mind, far from
being-cast down, appeared to be inspired with fresh
strength antvalour to run all risk in obtaining vic-
tory. Ido not'consider myself vain, or proud ;my
hopes.do not rest' on the arm of man. From afar I
see the beau walls oiValencia—l see likewise a cloud
of protection diver all the kingdom, similar to that
which defended the people of Goo for 4.0 years. The
walls of brass are the Valeneians, whose character for
loyalty is not to be shaken ; and the cloud which pro-
tects Us is the Queen of Angels, that is the generous
and adorable mother of the distressed, and her omni-
potent son. Heaven itself has given the greatest proof
of its predeliction for the Valencians and their king-
dom. Is there any other capital in W.l Spain, where'
some tinny of this impious, tyrannical, Corsican Thief
has not entered ? Is there any other Province which
twice has marvellously driven him from its centre,
without walls, and without army ? HEAVEN and its
Deborah, or Judith, have saved and,will save us, if
our conduct do not render us unworthy of their pro-
• tection.—Do not be assosished at this language in a

military man. lam a elsristian—t ain an old Spa-
niard—and I am persuaded that they are not victo-
ries, but dazzling successes, which such infamous vil-
lains as the Cortican and his Generals;Of bad faith
and worse morals, have obtained; I therefore give
up my truncheon to this Queen of Heaven; she is
the General who has hitherto kept the kingdom free ;
she will keep it free u hen she has placed it under my
General's truncheon, which is not mine, but her's and
the God of Battles.
1, This is a war ofreligion, in which we must fight
like Maccabeans. That which I possess then is zeal
for the public cause and justice ; quickly join me, take
up arms, offer yourself a sacrifice ; advance, fight,
and you will triumph.
War, eternal to the tyrant ; to the cowaril, the
egotist, the ,impious, and all those who do not exert
themselves to the utmost. Confide in the Govern-
' ment and it will confide in you—let the Chiefs shew
conduct and they will find it in the people—let there
be moderation in expence, and abundance will be
found in the armies—order in families, and it will be

found in public actionsactivity in individuals, and
the army will be invincible.—Goo will fight with us !
Renew the glory of the Sagui tines, the invincible
valour of the Sarragonese, the splendour cf ancient
Tarragona, the glory of the Murcians and Cuenians.
44 To arms then, my countrymen, to arms ! Reli-
gion, the country, liberty are in danger—let our motto
be victory or death !"

The Valencian division', consisting of 4000 men,
which disembarked on the coast of Catalonia, under
the command of Field-Marshal D. J. Miranda, is re-
turned to Peniscola.

BANKS OF THE DUERO, JULY 20.
They write from Bayonne that preparations are
making in that city to receive the troops destined for
Spain.
There are various reports respecting their numbers,
some accounts stating them to amount to 100,000
men, whilst others reduce them to 20,000.

THS FOLLOWING IS AN EXTRACT OF A LETTER /ROM

I

CADIZ, DATES AUGUST 7. •
,g We are very busy in putting all the redoubts and
works in the best state of defence against the winter
and blowing weather. The Spaniards have at last
given up the Santa Petre Lines to the British, and
the Engineers are busily employed in making two
strong redoubts to strengthen the extremities of the
line, and some of the advanced works are undergoing
an enlargement. I have no news to relate : the re-
port of the day is, that Blake, who left this about al
fortnight ago, landed with 6000 men near Walaga,t
and carried the town, putting the French and the in-1
habitants to the sword, but was himself killed in the 1
action ; I do not pledge myself for the truth, but you
have it as related to me. Anonymous pamphlets are ;
going abroad every day against both the English go.''
vernment and the people, and nothing can ever pros.;
per until a better order of things is established.-- 1
What will you think when I tell you, that only two
days ago, Coupigne, who commands at the Isle of
Carraccas, received a letter sealed and signed by the
Minister of War, directing him to fall back with his
troops, amounting to 10,000. bAind the Cote Douro,
as he had received such information, that resistance
would be in vain ; The General very. properly put
the letter in his pocket, and rode over to the Regen-
t cy, and laid the letter before them: they were amazed '
and thunder-struck ; the Minister of War was sent
fin., and shewn the letter; he said it was his signa.
cure, but that he was entirely ignorant of the con-
tents or writing. On recollection, he said it was cus-
tomary to leave two or three blank papers signed, to
expediu the public business, and an improper use
must have been made by some person in the office.
Nothing further has yet been done; howeverCoupigne
can be depended on."

China fleet, ten sail, in the Channel. They were

TriE ARMY.

The recent information which Government have
received, has determined them to reinforce our fleet
off. Walcheren, and the 144c.fiterranean army under'
Lord WILLIAM BENTINCIi. In the mean time rein-
forcements of men, hoses, and stores, are weekly
dispatched to Lord Wet r.ixt:ro,t's army, in Portu-
gal; and, it is said, that intimation has been sent to
the numerous General Oaken and &alit{ that army,
now on leave at home, to repair thither immediately.
Reinforcements for the regiments in Sicily, and
that old and distinguished corps, the 42d regimen,
are about to he embarked for Sicily, though some ac-
counts, hive reached us which state that the gallant
42.1 are destined tor Lord WELLINGTON'S army, where
their second battalion has been reduced to a mere
skeleton.

~~

That experienced Officer Colonel STIRLING, com-
manding the .It'd n.gimenti Royal Highlanders, will
shortly go out to Portugal with the rank of Brigadier-
General, taking with him the 91st and 4.2 d regiments.

We are concerned to hear, that the gallant and ve-
teran General CAMERON, Colonel of the two battalions
of the 79th, or Cameronian Highlanders, one of the
very finest regiments in the service, and raised by him,
lies dangerously ill.
Government have resolved to make Hull a re-
cruiting depot. The follok%ing skeleton regiments of
the line are to be stationed there, viz. the 34th, 10th,
30th, 33d, and 65th.
The East Kent Militia embarked at Falmouth on
Friday for Cork, and sailed next day.
Colonel MAINWARING, an old and very highly-es-
' teemed officer, has taken the command at Hilsea bar-
racks, in the room of Major-General BARLOW, who
has set off to join the Staff in Ireland.
A Government transport, laden with timber for
the barracks erecting on Spike Island, at the entrance
of Cork Harbour, sailed on Thursday last. Lieut..
% and Mrs. RANDALL, R. N. went passengers to Ire.'
land in the above transport. •
Transports are ordered to be in readiness to take out
2,000 troops to Sicily : they will be convoyed by the
NYADEN, Capt. Eewoarn, who will ►ake out 200,000'
dolthrs, for the payment of our army there.
On Thursday the Gunner Legion, the Royal Horse
Artillery, the Norfolk, Hertford, Cumberland, and
Dumfries Militia Regiments were reviewed on Rush-
mere Heath, near Ipswich, by his Royal Highness
the PRINCE REGENT. the Dukes of YORK, Comaea-
LAND, and CAM:MIDGE. accompanied by the M►rquia
of SALISBCRY, the Earl cf CHATHAM, Lord YAR-
MOUTH, and a retinue of Staff Officers. At one
o'clock, a discharge of twenty-one guns announced
the approach of the PRINCE REGENT, who was recei-
♦ed by the populace with loud acclamations. After
the troops had passed the usual etiquette of review
order, the infantry retired, and the cavalry and horse
artillery went through a variety of evolutions ; but
the dryness of the heath was so excessive, that the
slightest motion of the horses raised such a body of
'dust as to render this scene almost invisible, and se-
veral accidents happened during the charges, from
the horses meeting in contract, which threw their ri-
ders. The heat was intense ; one private died on his
return from ditty, and several fainted from *fatigue.
a--After the Review, the Royal Party, the whole of
the Staff Officers, with several Noblemen and Gentle.

men, partook of an elegant deitune, prtivided by Ba-
ron LINSINGEN. After this repast, the ParNte
Re-
cartT, with his Royal Brothers, inspected the horses,
stables, &c. of the cavalry depot ; and at six o'clock
proceeded to Colchester, where they were entertained
with a most sumptuous dinner by Lieutenant-Gene-
ral the Earl of CHATUANI.
On Friday, at ten in the morning►, the PIIINCU
GENT and the Royal Dukes revioxed the troops in
the Colchester District, on Baberg Heath, the 43a'
Regiment acting as a guard et honour. Notwith-
standing the frequency of military spectacles in that
neighbourhood, the presence and noble demeanour of
his Royal Highness attracted all the families of fa-
shion anii consequence, and the populace collected
amounted to some thousands.

Through every town the PRINCE REGENT passed I
in his tour he was received with demonstrations of
joy. The Corporation of Ipswich solicited an inter-
view at Sudhourne Hall, to offer their congratula-
lions, which his Royal Highness was obliged to de-
cline, but thanked them for their proffered affection.
The Volunteers of 'Woodbridge received the PRINCE
REGENT with presented arms, and the Borough of
Orford was distinguished for its loyalty and respect.
As the Duke of CUMBERLAND, Baron LINSINGEN,
with several Officers, were riling through Ipswich,
1 after the review, three young men driving, furiously
into the midst of them in a gig, the shaft unfortu.
irately passed 18 inches into the body of the General's
beautiful charger, which died in a few hours. His
Royal Highness was slightly wounded in the leg.—
The young men were fined £lO for their negligence.

Dispatches from.the Cape of Good were re.
ceived at the Admiralty at an early hour na Saturday
morning. Tney were brought to. England by the
Curacoa frigate; and contain an account of three
large Frenchefrigates and a brig of war having been
discovered, on the 10th of May, by the Phcehe and
Galatea frigates, and the Racehorse sloop of war, to
windward of the Isle of France. They had previously
sent a boat on shore to the Isle of Bourbonohe of&
cer and crew of which were made prisoners. The
frigates were represented as being in great want of
water; and, it is presumed, they have since gone to
the island of Madagascar. The Phoehe left ;he Ga:
latea and Racehorse to watch the motions of the ene-
my's vessels, and proceeded to Port Louis for the
Astrea and Malacca frigates, to join in pursti;t.ef
them. The enemy's frigates are knoirn to be the
Neriede, la Ronommee, and Clorinde; and they had
each two hundred troops on board, many of whom
were clothed in red jackets; from which circumstance,
it is conjectured they must have captured i vessel
with army clothing for the Cape of Good Hope.
of

A great probability remains , their being captured;
as, in addition to the trigates, already mintiontd,
tht hesident,-captain Weaturs; is in,qtteat at them.:
and information of their appearance has been sent, by
t fastontiiipx vessel from the Cape, to Admiral Da
Commit, at Rio - The troops wore probably

The following letter from an officer of the Mans,
brings the latest intelligence from the taltic :
" Mars, Sept.l2.
I, We are off the Galloper on out passage to the
Downs, where we have been ordered to, in company
with the Hannibal, Rear-Admiral Durham, Captain •
W., King; Impetueux, Captain Milne; Vangu trd,
Captain Glynn; Tremendous, Captain R. Campbell ;
and Fisgard frigate, Captain Mason. The Fisgard
is under the necessity of coming home, she having
thrown all her guns and stores overboard, while on
shore in the Baltic. What we are ordered home for
I know not, but it is supposed we are to strengthen ~
the Flushing fleet. We have been through the Belt
to Hano, and back again, with convoy, without sus-
taining
any injury from gun-boats, though we one
day tried to do them all the mischief in our power,
when they had the impudence, in the face of six sail
of the line, a frigate, and brig, that composed the
convoy, to ran from one depot to another. We weigh-
ed in quest of them, but they got into shoal water,
and escaped us, but not until some: of them had
enough of it. We spoke the Arid, just as she had
come out of Colberg, which place she had communi-
cation with on the 95ih of August : she reports that
the inhabitants of that place and the country around,
had taken up arms, to the number of 40,000 men.
and were determined to repel the farther encroaches
of the French, and that every thine, in that part bore
the aspect of war. The General.Comnsaudant (or
whatever name he gees by in the toven>.viished them
to fire on the Ariel; which they refused to do; but;
on the contrary, sent thend'refreshments. IR Wing*
