TO THE EMPRESS.

g‘ M.lnAm—The shouts of joy which have every
w:lere ur Majesty's step,, that con-
cert of lh:ne.lictions which still echoes from Vienna to
I)...ris, ate the faithful expression of the sentiments of
tire people. The Senate comes to offer to your Ma-
k:sty testltr.:nies of homage, not less ardent, not less
sincere.

" Imperial Crown which sparkles on your
brow, that other crown of graces and virtues which
tempers and softens the lustre of the former, attracts
towards you the hearts of thirty millions of French-
men, who make it their joy and pride to salute you
by the name of their Sovereign. These Frenchmen,
v:hom you have adopted, and to whom, by the most
sacred of promis's, you have vowed the sentiments of
azender mother,* you will rind worthy of your kind
regards. You xvill more and more cherish this good
and tender-hearted people, who always feel an anxious
wish to love those who govern them, and to place af-
fection and honour by the side of zeal and obedience.
Thee sentiments, which we have the happiness to
ex! :.ess to your Majesties, are under the guarantee
of Heaven, like that sacred oath which has for ever
united the great and splendid destinies of Napoleon
and Mau is Louisa."

His nyesty answered the President in these words:
" SENATORS—MyseIf and the Emeress merit the
sentiments you express towards us, by the love we
bear to our people. The prosperity of France is our
first wish." .
LETTER FROM COUNT REWARD) GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF
MADRID, 10 THE PRINCE OF NEUFCHATEL.

"MY PRINCE—I have this instant received a con-
fitmation of the intelligence which I had the honour
to communicate, three days ago, to your Highness.
The hurricane, which prevailed from the 7th to the
I,oth instant, drove on shore near Cadiz four sail of
the line (two of them English), and 50 vessels of an
inferior rate,- of which we have taken possession. Of
the persons shipwrecked we have secured 600, almost
all of them English. The dispatches which I have
the honour to address to you from the Duke of Dal-
matia, will undoubtedly give your Highness a more
particular account of this event.
4, The King reached Granada on the 16th. The in-
habitants met him at the distance of two leagues from
the city. Wherev::: the King goes, he is astonishingly
v-ell received t and lte confers happiness upon all his
people. ;-..ajes:y all Ifs the most perfect health.

DUKE OF DALMATIA TO THE

PRI

OF NEUFCHATEL.

hong ur of transmitting to you the Copy
al the Duke of Belluno, dated Chica-
. It gives an account of serious losses
.iny have experienced before Cadiz, from
oth of this month. Four ships of the
iptes, and more than 50 other vessels,
on•n by the tempest ou the coos; from
the Guadalquivir to dui elPtranity of

posts ; the Duke of Belluno caused the

crew to be taken out. He has also caused the re-
mains of this famous wreck to be collected, the con-
sequences of which may influence the submission of
Cadiz, notwithstanding the number of troops which
are in that town and the Isle of Leon. The next re-
ports will doubtless afford mere circumstantial details
respecting this event.
46 I have also the honour of transmitting an extract
from the Journal of the operations before Cadiz, from
the 3d to the 9th of this month. You will see from
what is stated there, that the tempest has also done
us some damage in the trenches and batteries, but it
will soon be repaired.
" The Duke of Belluno had detached General
Latour Maubourg, with four battalions and some
cavalry, to the mountains between Ronda and the
camp of St. Roch, to destroy the new corps of insur-
gents which the English and some Chiefs of the revolt
had formed there. The bad weather had rendered it
necessary to suspend this operation; but it is now re-
sumed, and General Peremont is to second it with
three battalions from the Grand Duchy of Warsaw
and the pike-men. He will set out for this purpose
next night from Malaga, to advance to Ronda,
whence the Colonel of the 2d Hussars, who was there
with his,aegiment, and four hundred Voltigeurs of the
Royal Guard, must have for the moment retired. It
is therefore to be hoped that in a few days the town
of Ronda will be re-occupied, and the mountains, as
far as the camp of St. Roch, a second time pacified.
" It will, for the future, be very difficult to guard
against the intrigues of the English agents in these
mountains, while the camp of St. Roch is not occu-
pied, and the lines re-established. His Catholic Ma-
jesty would have sent thither the division of General
IDessolles, had not that division been employed, and
Inecessary for guarding the communication from the
Sierra Morena, to Grenada and Seville, and to pro-
tect the numerous population of the kingdoms of Jaen
and Cordova, who are now harassed by thousands
of dispersed soldiers and smugglers, who have not
yet been collected, and who live by plunder. The
number of the dispersed troops and smugglers is
mated to amount to 30,000. Being, therefore, una-
ble at present to spare the division of Dessolles, his
Majesty has resorted to other dispositions.
" We are employed in the first place in forming into
corps all the smugglers in the mountains of Ronda,
and in uniting to them several thousand Spanish sol-
diers. If this operation succeeds, the corps so formed
r will be charged with protecting this part of the fron-
tier, and with re-establishing the camp of St. Ruh,
until regular Spanish troops can be sent thither.
" The province of Malaga, which extends from
Marbella to beyond Velez-Malaga, entertains the best
disposition. The inhabitants have assured his Catho-
lic Majesty, that by means of civic guards which
they have organized, and with several battalions and
independent companies, the formation of which had
been decreed by the King, they can maintain the
tranquillity of the interior, preserve a proper respect
for the laws, and protect the province from every fo-
reign aggression..
44 His Majesty having accepted the proposal c 1 the
Magistrates, and principal inhabitants, judged the
circumstances favourable for putting them to the
proof, and orders have been given for the Imperial
! troops of the fourth corps to retire from Malaga to
Antequera, whence they are to be employed in the
expedition to the mountains of Ronda, and will atter-
e wards proceed towards Grenada, to assist in the ex-
pedition to Murcia, which cannot be longer deferred.
" I have said in a former report that General Blake
was in Murcia, where he is forming oew levies. This
! Chief, who can no longer be considered as any thing
but a Brigand, has succeeded by threats, punishments,
and depredations, to force the. people of the moun-
I tains to arms. He had caused a column to advance
; from Almareo upon Ytra, to Torbiscon mid Motril,
which obliged Alpugaros to revolt. The battalion
which was at Motril had to retire towards Velez-
Malaga, but General Sebastiani immediately formed
! this position for destroying the insurgent column.
44 General Blair was directed by Langaron and
Orgiva upon Motril, which the Imperial troops re-en-
tered. The insurgents saved themselves by disper-
sion. A great number were killed and made priso-
ners, among whom were some Chiefs, who we: e pu-
nished on the spot. The General Gedinot set out
for Guadix, and proceeded by Ohanes to Almeria,
whence having subdued that country, he returned to
Guadix and Baxer. It is to be hoped that these dif-
ferent expeditions will have satisfactory result;, and
once more secure the complete submission of the Al-
pugaros.
" While Blake was making these demonstrations in
the Alpugaros, and on the sea coast, he also instigated
the inhabitants of the mountains to separate the king-
dom of Murcia, from Jena, to arm, and directed their
masses by Villanueva del Arzobispo and Cazorla upon
Übeda. General Dessolles, Governor-General of the

Provinces of Cordova and Jaen, being informed of
this, immediately directed 1000 infantry and 100 dra-
goons to proceed to Übada, under the command of
General Grandner, Chief of Battalion. This brave
Officer having established his troop, was attatked
during the night. He fell immediately on the insur-
gents, dispersed them, and took a position without
the town. When he sent this report he was proceed-
ing to reduce the other districts ' • so that this expedi-
tion has defeated the plans of Blake, and has pre-
served the South-side of the mountains of the Sierra
Morena from new misfortunes. •
64 The greatest tranquillity prevails in the interior
of Andalusia. In all the towns the National Guard
is organized, and assists in maintaining public tran-
quillity ; but the events mentioned above, and the ne,
cessity of encreasing our means of operations against
Cadiz, have rendered it necessary to press the move.;
meats on Murcia and - Carthagena, and to suspend
the siege of Badajos, for which preparations had
been made.
6, The Duke of Trevisa has transmitted an account
from his head quarters at Zafra, respecting bodies of
insurgents which had been formed tinder the direction
of the English and the agents of Romana at Xeres de
los Caballeros. He ordered General Girard to send
an expedition to that quarter. Col. Musnier was en-
trusted with it. On arriving there he found 1000
armed men who wished to resist. He immediately
attacked them, and they were dispersed, after a num-
ber had been killed. Next day the inhabitants of Xeres
isubmitted to the King, and promised to reject in future,
all incitements to criminal insurrection that might be
I addressed to them. Another body of insurrati was
4 formed at Llerena. The Duke of Trevisa sent an

ezpeditlon there also, from which he expects satisfac-
tory results, He had also to send out an expedition
to re-establish the communication with Seville, which
had been intercepted by a numerous band of from
five to six hundred men, who had occasioned a loss of i
twenty of our troops marching to join the sth corps.
It is believed even that Colonel Blanchville, who was
with this detachment, has been killed.
•s The King arrived yesterday at Grenada. His
Majesty was received with splendour and enthusiasm
by more than 150,000 inhabitants. He found pre-
parations had been made for forming several batta-
lions of infantry and some squadrons of cavalry. I
conceive that I am entering into the views of the
Emperor, when insisting on the formation of new
corps, in order to be able to establish, as soon as
possible, a Spanish division at the camp of St. Roch,
and to charge it with the defence of that part of the
frontier. (Signed) " The Duke of DALMATIA."

REPORT FROM THE DUKE OF 112LLUNO.
. .

CHICLANA, MARCH 10.—The troops which I
have detached to reduce the insurgents in the moult- ;
tains of the Bishoprick of Cadiz, had advanced to
Alcala de los Gazulez, when the weather became
so bad, that it was impossible for them to proceed
farther. The roads had suddenly become altogether
impracticable, the beds of torrents which crossed.
them being full of water.
" The first efforts made by our soldiers to pass
them spewed the inability and danger of their endea-
vours. Several men were drowned, and this accident
occasioned the postponnnent of this expedition. I
shall take advantage of the first fine weather to re-
sume it, and as soon as I have verified the report
, which has been transmitted to me from Tarrifa. . .

" A corps of English and Spanish troops, it is
said, have landed in that town, which they allow no
person to leave. I shall order a reconnoissance to-
morrow, to learn the truth of this report, and shall
afterwards take suitable measures.
44 The enemy has sustained same losses, occasioned
by the bad weather. The tempest, which has raged ►
for these last three days, driven ashore and
wrecked a great number of v:7sscis, both ships of war
and merchantmen. Form ships of C..: line, mounting
from 71 to SO guns, were diva ashore with such
violence, that they were wrecked wi:hin irirket-shet
of Lestran, between Port Royal and Polt St. Maria.
Another experienced the same fate near th. Carracas,
and also a frigate in the bay, near l'orc Royal.
" The tempest has done so much damage, that
along the whole coast to the moktl.ii of the Guadal-
quivir, nothing is to be seen but the wrecks of vessels'
and dead bodies floating. Two or three hun..lred of
the crews, Spaniards and English, been saved
by the sailors of the Imperial guard, exposed
themselves to great danger in performiae; this work
of humanity. It is impcssible not to remarh t!; at the
Spaniards and English, who w,Te re:cued by
our sailors, were the same men who, but a few days
l-efore, had trc:ited them in the mlst cre,cl manner,
and had even gone so far as to refuse them rloirsl-
ment. There is some reason to hope that it v.-11. ale
practicable to secure the artillery of one of the
fours, which will be extremely advantageous fur the
attack on the Isle of Leon.
