OCTOBER 24, 1811.
CONSPIRACY AGAINST LIBERTY.

ceased to perform eminent services ea the public cause
as a soldier_ and as a citizen.

The Cortes, notwitlittanding their continued ap-
plication to the discussion of the constitution, which
is the same thing as marching straight forward to the
termination of their functions, were represented as an
assemblage of intriguers aspiring to perpetuate their
power, to arrogate all authority, and to divide all
offices among the*sselver. A resolution or the Coun-
cil of Castile was talked of, which would thew the
Congress its illegitimacy, the falsehood of its ptinci-
ples, and the injustice and political mischiefs of its
measures ; in short, every thing presented a black
and gloomy aspect to the friends of liberty, who were
in momentary dread of an explosion.
At this very time was published in Alicant, a ma.
nifesto of the Ex-Regent Don Miguel de Lardizabal,
which, when denouneei and publicly read in the
Cortes, excited the indignation sof all who heard it,
and chewed Congress the danger in which it was
placed. That a few contemptible authors, as igno-
rant as obscure, might accumulate attacks upon the
eternal bases of social order, adopted and sanctioned
by the Cortes, and pour forth reproaches and calum-
nies against their defenders, was not a thing to be
wondered at ; and their miserable efforts might justly
be consigned to contempt and oblivion. But that a
Statesman, an Ex-Regent, afierhaving sworn to these
laws, as the fundamental laws of the monarchy—
after declaring his adherence to the established order
of things, shoat' publish a libel for its subversion—
, should deny the sovereignty of the nation, the legitia
macy of the Cortes, the authority of their decrees—
should profess his intention to resuain and destroy
them, if he could depend upon the opinion of the
people and the army—should involve his former col-
leagues as accomplices in this base design,* and
should represent the deputies as a club of Jacobin le-
vellers, was an absurdity so enormous, an attempt so
scandalous, that it appears rather the frenzied act of
a madman, than the crime of a responsible being.—
But it is not possible, however much one would wish
it, to account for the thing in this way : the coinci-
dence of other circumstances- shews that the mani-
festo was only part of a complete plan, which, from
want of co-operation in the other parts, produced an
effect contrary to that which its author anticipated.
The Cortes, justly indignant at this scandalous
conduct, and bound to defend public liberty thus at-
tacked in its origin, ordered that the author should
be arrested, his papers seized, and himself brought to
Cadiz. A tribunal has since been formed for decid-
ing upon the cause of the El-Regent, that of some
of the Members of the Council of Castile, and all the
ramifications connected therewith ; and, if there has
been a conspiracy against the liberty of the country,
their decisions will inform us who are its accomplices,
and what punishment they deserve.
What object had they in view, who, under such
calamitous circumstances, calumniated our new in-
stitutions, and that national representation from which
they flowed ? Surely it was a terrible moment in
which to raise the standard of division among us !
Suchet was advancing against Valencia :—Suchet,
still more formidable as an intriguer than as a Gene-
ral. One would almost say, that these perfidious

. _Wcare told that M. Turgot, one of the Ministers
of the unfortunate Louis XVI. observed to him early
in his reign--' Your Majesty should anticipate the
revolution that is approaching, and conduct it your-
self—if not, one of two things will happen—your
Majesty will either see yourself compiled to shoot
your le, like Charles IX. of France ; or the
ench people will drag you to a scaffold, like Charles
• I. of England.'
Louis, though naturally well inclined, did aot fol-
low this advice ; 'the revolution advanced in spite of
him, and that indecisive Prince verified the predic-
tion in its two extremes—at first making war upon
his people through the medium of bis Courtiers, and
then being dragged by that people to a scaffold.
The same advice might have been useful to the
classes, corps, and ambitious Authorities,. who, on
the approach of the terrible crisis of our country,
Were desirous above all to preserve the influence and I
power of which they were possessed. Place yourselves,
might they have been told, in the van of the Rev°.
lotion which is approaching—be the furemost and the
risovt active in gaining liberty and independence to
the State—spew yourselves the most devoted and
most ardent defenders of the rights of the people. If
you "du not act thus you are lost—your ambition and
your pride, ill according with novelties, will leave
you not a moment's repose; and you will perform
the part of odious oppressors, if ou c never, and of
vile conspirators if ycu are conquered. .
That, since the commencement ()idle Revelation,
there has existed a very numerous party, lristile to
every innovation the object c!f which was to reform
our-Administration and political institutions; is a fact
quite obvious to the most cursory obserier. It could
hardly be otherwise ; for there were among, ui too
• many people whose importance, and even existence,
depended upon old ahuses,not to be interested in their
preservation. ll.nce have we seen th m oppose with
rage, or reject with contempt, every plan cf reform,
however useful and uccetsary, that has been adopted
by Government, or proposed by individuals. And,
as the measures for delivering us from the French
must go hand in hand with those' which have the es-
t iblishment of liberty for their object, (since you can.
not expect great lirotts loom the peorle, without great
privileges in return,) it unfortunately happened that
the enemies of good principles were depressed when
tontine was favourable to cur arms—and, on the
contra, y, assumed importance when events were un-
favourable—not bee ruse they rejoiced in the successes
of:the enemy, but because such success discredited
and weakened the authority of men and maxims,
whose destruction they starght. '
i
1 Deplorable situation, certainly, to which pride and
ambition ri4turally lead, when they are listened to,
rather than reason and patriotism !. We have seen
thein form a hostile confederacy against all whom the
Revolution has summoned into employment—pride
themselves on their old station's, and boast of having
been -official men tinder Charles IV. Idiots ! as if
they could suppose that the nation had forgotten that
Charles IV. his Ministers, his agents, and his whale
system of governmnt, were that which had ruinad it!
Tr:e installation of the Cortes, which they were unable
to prevent, and its first dezrees, confounded these
men. But they soon began to rally, and determined
to avail themselves of the first favourable conjunr-
tare for dissolving the Congress, and putting a period
t.) liberty. -
This crisis was approaching. The campaign of
Estremaditra, brilliant is ils commencement, hat tri.
Cog in its results—the almost derperate si.uttion of
t Catalonia, after the occupation of Tarragona and Fi-
sui:iras by the Fstuc,h—Valencia already threatened;
i 'all seemed to prepar,i Cie mind for discontint, and
.smoot!ied the w.t) for cl.,tr,iiing that order of things
.. which apparently neither promised lelicity, nor in-
' spired conidcuce. Hence intrigues of every kind
were set at unrk. Rumours I's / ied to prepine the
public mind tor insuticrdina,aun and change, flud
'irom Valencia to Cad z, and !torn Cadiz toVatentia.
In the iOr met place, it was u-sel.t..al, that the Frenc:i
h id taken the Isla by surprise—that var:eus Dtpu its
were prisoners—C.idix in fe: mentat en—the Cortes
eissolved—tire 0-vertiment changed! Hui, at first 1
with a mysterious air, and then with more confidence
Valencia was ietirtscuted as tuninltuous, and as risen
against the Rertn.General—that the latter had died
miserably in the tumult—Lome said that he had es-
cared the sedition, an.. tied to Tangiers—others that
he was concealed in Cadiz. Such were the reports,
*hose object ohs to discredit that respectable Pune-
:mind= began; has not,

agitators acted by his directions, were not the impu-
tation too horrible, to be aecribed.to Spaniards. We
rather believe, that their conduct proceeds from an
inflexible pride, froin a boundless lust of power, from
aversion to a Constitutional Government, froM rage
at losing an influence and preponderance founded on
vicious instiortions, and inveterate abases. There
were, doubtless, few who were personally attached
to Godoy, whose insolence and vices disgusted even
those on whom he conferred favours; but there were
numbers partial to his arbitrary power, to his despo-
tism, and to his disorderly and fatal system of abuses.
These men have always believed, and still affect to
believe, that the revolution had no other object, but
to preserve to them their influence, their honours,
their employments : they have always retarded the
tendency of our affairs towards a salutary and gene-
ral reform. Enemies, perhaps, of the tyrant, but
not of tyranny, they: are more easily capable cf corn.
ing to terms with Napoleon, than with the friends
of liberty.
It will not cost them much. Of the principal in-
stigators of these treasons, some swore obedience at
Bayonne to the usurper King; others did the same
at Madrid ; and- a third set received commissions
fromsthe intruder to calm the effervescence of the
people ; the 'fast culpable among -them let them-
selves be carried down the stream without openly
jo.ning either the French or the Spanish party. It
is painful to descend to these odious accusations
;
but they have compelled us to that step who let no
me-;sns of reproach and calumny pass that may tend
to dircredit.the friends of the people; and who, in
order to prejudice the weak, have always upon heir
lips the appellations, of impious disorganizers, and
even of rebels. Let them thank our moderation, that
in recording their treachery, we do not also address
them by their names ; and let those who pretend to
he so zealous in defending the rights of Ferdinand
VII. that they would not leave a single right to the
nation—let:these hypocritical pretenders to fidelity
tell ay, what they did with those rights at Biyonee
and at Madrid, when they sold them with so much
facility to the tyrant who usurped them.
There is no middle course : our political revolu-
tion is not a game of puppets ; it is 'he work of men
and of Spaniards. The nation contemplates with'
anxiety those constitutional laws, which are to be-
come its hope and its consolation Europe views
theni with respectful admiration—the French with
terror. Who, then, are the rash men win would dare
to retard the progress and conclusion of these majes-
tic labours ? If they are individuals. let punishment
repress them ; if public be:dies, let them be dissolved.
Are,we to seek for supporters of, liberty, and guardia'
ans of the nation, a nong its representatives; or
among those who, for twenty successive years, aban-
doned it us the deplorable and shameful voracity of
Maria L ui.a, and of Godoy ?
There is no medium : we repeat it. The Cortes
must either reso:ve to preserve the national liberty
and dignity, together with.their own institution, or
resign themselves to an untimely dissolution, by in-
trigue or by violence; thus bringing on themselves

The ALERT, Captain Titou.opr, has arrived at
• Portsmouth, in 19 days, from Gibraltar, with dis-
patches from Lieutenant-General CAMPBELL. The
ALERT left the STATELY, SWALLOW, and some other
men of war,- at Gibraltar.

The severities recently inflicted by the Prize
Courts in France on the American merchants are be.
yond all precedent, and were we not long accustomed
to the phlegmatic forbearance of the American Go.
vernment, when France is the aggressor, we should
be apt to regard the following catalogue of depreda-
tions as furnibhing ample grounds for a declaration of

war:

The following is a list of vessels, bearing the flag
of the United States, condemned under the above au-
tkotity :—The Catharine, from Boston to St. Pe ters-
burgh ; the Julien, from Philadelphia to St. Peters.
burgh ; the —, SNOW master, from Newfoundland.'
to St. Petersburgh ; the Atlantic, DONE master, from
New York to Stockholm.

The preceding vessels were captured by French
privateers, and sent into Dantzic. The Radius, from
Boston to St. Petersburgh g the schooner Hero, of
Marblehead ; the Lydia., of Marblehead, from St. Pe-
tersburgh to London—were carried into Christiansand,
and have been condemned.

The cargo of the Roberson, OSER, consisting of
290 hhds. oftobocco, was confiscated.
The Mai ianne, of\Portland, bound to London, and
carried into Dunkirk, has 1:oen also condemned, the
Captain having risen upon, and murdered s.,me of
the French.

To these we may add the following, against which
judgment had not been pronounced at the date of 4he
last advices

The Zeno, of Newbury Port, from Boston bound
to Gottenburgh, sent into Norway ; the Raborcus, of
Salem, captured on her passage from Russia near
Copenhagen ; and the Harper, of Salem, the desti-
nation of which is not stated.

The Kiso continues much the same; not worse.
THE PRINCE RIGENT.—We are happy to learn that
the accounts from Oatlands of the state of the PRINCE
REGENT yesterday was, that his Royal Highnes had
a tolerably good night, was freer from pain, aid had
less inflammation than on Tuesday.

Lltnum. —Last night the Contedy of the Wert Indira
was performed at this Theatre, when Mr. Lewis at-.
tempted the part of Below—we sty attempted, for
never was there such a Belemr seen out of the beat
of the Dunstable company. He neither spoke, acted,
nor looked the character ; and but for a faint occa•
sional resemblance to his late peerless father, would
lave excited more disapprobation than he experienced.
After the Play, a poor vapid thing, gedped a Farce,
was performed for the first time. It bore the ominous
title of the Rejection ; and, as ill luck would have it,
the audience were unable to follow the author through
his many doublings, in quest of humour or incident.

dissentient, the Author and a few friends excepted.
To attempt to give an idea of this ephemeral produc-

performers, however, to say that they did wonders.
Miss DUNCAN and Miss KELLY'S exertions, in behalf
of the unfortunate Author, were strenuous and con-

the Play, seemed to gain upon the good graces of the
audience by his services. Lovsortovs, who played
the part of Solid, an old country Jentleman, wt .o pro-
Imes to meddle with nobody's business but his own,
exhibited the only sparks of humour which the piece
possessed, but they were all of his own engrafting.

ALLIED ARMY IN PORTUGAL
Head-quarters of S. Jose de Reba-Mar, Oct. P.

ORDER OF THE DAY.

His Excellency Marshal Beresford communicates to the army
of his Royal Highness the Order of the Day of the 2d instant, by
!his Excellency the Marshal General, as well to make public the
conduct of the Portuguese troops, of whom such honourable men•
Lion is made, as on account of the observations of the Marshal
General, on the manner ih which the troops who came into ac-
tion behaved, which are to serve for the instruction and imitation
of all the allied forces under his command. 1•lis Excellency Mar-
shal Beresford, in order to make public the conduct of the regi•
ment of infantry, No. 21, and of two gallant soldiers of artillery•,
wishes particularly to draw the attention of the army to the last
maragraph but one of the said Order of the Day, which he tru►ts,
will be always in the recollection both of the officers and soldiers
of the Portuguese army.

ORDER of the DAY of the '2d instant, of his Excellency the

Marshal General.

The Commander of the Forces &sires to draw the attention
of the Army to the conduct of the. Id battalion of the Sth regi-
ment, and of the 77th ; to that of the 21st Portuguese regiment
and the Portuguese artillery of Major Arentschild, under the
command of the Hon. Major-General Colville; to that of the
11th light dragoons, and the first regiment of hussars, under the
orders of Major-General Alton, is the action with the enemy on
the 2Sth of last month. These troops were attacked by from SO
to 40 squadrons of cavalry, with elk pieces of cannon, sustained by
a division of 14 battalions of infantry, and a corresponding train
of artillery.
The Portuguese artillerymen chose to be cut to pieces close to
the cannon, rather than abandon them; but the id battalion of
the sth regiment attacked the cavalry that had taken possession
of them, and retook them. At the same time the 77th regiment
was attacked by another body of cavalry, against which it adian-
ced and repulsed. Whilst this was taking place, the brigade of
General Alton, amounting at most to three squadrons, fought on
the left with a body far superior in number. These squadrons
made repeated attacks, mutually supporting each other, took
more than 20 prisoners, and would have kept their position, not-
withstanding the immense superiority of the enemy, if the Com-
mander of the Forces had not sent orders to withdraw the troops,
seeing that the action was becoming still more unequal, as pro-
bably the enemy's Infantry would take a part in it, before the
reinforcements that had been sent for could arrive.'

The troops retifed In two squadrons, with the same bravery,
and In the same good order with which they had kept their post
sr he one squadron was composed of the two 2d battalions of the
ith regiment, and the 77th; the other of the 21st Portuguese
regiment, supported by the cavalry of General Alton, and the
Portuguese artillery. The enemy's cavalry attacked at three
points the squadron of British Infantry, but was repulsed; and
perceiving that their repeated attempts were unavailing, u those
gallant troops cituld not be routed, they contented themselves
with forming at a distance, and firing with their artillery, until
the troops formed a junction with the 3d diVision, and were af-
ter Wards sustained by a brigade of the eth. Though the 21st
Portugusee r.•giment.was not actually attacked by the enemy, ha
valour and steadiness was perfectly evident ; and the Comman-
der of the Forces observed with pleasure the good order and re-
gularity with which the different movements were made and the
confidence that was 'hewn by all towards their officers.
The Commander of the Forces has been thus particular in de-
tailing the circumstatices of this action; the Order in the Day,
as, In his opinion, it is a memorable instance of what demo..•,
discipline, and confidence can atchieve. It is impossible that any
troops, in any situation, can be exposed to an attack by force.
proportionably greater than those that attacked the troops under
the commend of Major-Genera! Colville and of Major-General
Alton, on the 25th of #eptember; and the Commander of the
Forces recommends to the officers and soldiers of the army to at-
tend to the conduct of those troops, as an example Worthy of
imi-
tation in all eases of a similar nature. "

The Commander of the forces signifies that General Alton and
General Colville, and the Officers commanding the respective re-
giments under their orders, have a claim to his particular acknow-
ledgments, namely, Lieut.-Col. Cummings, Lieut.-Col. Arsnts-
child, Licut.-CoL Bronthead, Major Ridge, Col. liacellar, of the
21st Portuguese regiment, and the Officers and soldiers.under
their respective orders. He assures them he will not fail to coin-
municate it's sentiments of their conduct in the action of the 25th
of September,' to those who, as he trusts, will bestow epos it
due approbation, and not fail to remember and to reward it.

A letter from Gottenburgh by the last Anholt Mail
adverts to the proposed resignation of CIIARLICS 13th,
us will be seen by the 16llowing extract :

" -60TTINEUR011, Nov. S. •

" Accounts from Stockholm, received here last night, commit- I
nicute positive intelligence, that the old KING Will mign his
crown to BERNADOTTE, who has long hell the reins of Govern-
meat, but It is confidently stated in some quarters that the Em-
peror
NAPOLEON has strongly remonstrated against this measure.
" The letters from Prussia represent matters as still unsettled
there. It was fully expected that BONAPARTE MOuld visit that
kirgdom. A portion of the garrison of Dantisic has marched to
the Polish frontiers"
The Russians are continuing to fortify the frontier'
towns, and they had raised a new levy of 25,000
men to enforce an independent system with respect to
commerce the next season.
A gentleman who Las just an ived from Hamburgh
states, that at the time be left that neighbout hood,
there were 15,000 troops at Hamburgh, about the
same- number at Rostock, and likewise at Stettin.
Napoleon, during his visit to Holland, had granted
many licences for the export of corn from that coun-
try, including Embilen, where wheat could be pur-
chased for Sos. per quarter. The release of one gen-
tleman, who IDA been arrested under a Trench order
at Hamburgh, for holding intercourse with England,
had been pun:hued-for a sum equal•to £2,000; and
a reward, the amount of which is not mentioned, had
been offeled to any one who would either produce
to the municipality or assassinate another person who
was, charged with the saute. oilances and who had
escaped the vigilance of the guard.
