SALAMANCA, AUGUST ii.

The last accounts announce, as soon to be expect-
ed, the arrival of the allied army on the frontiers of
Castile, and, in fact, English troops have already ar-
rived in the Sierra de Gata, and have indeed ap-
proached still nearer to Ciudad Rodrigo.
Marmont continues in the same position, and some-
times detachments are made from the division which
is in Herbas and the vicinity of Bejar, to procure
provisions.
Don Carlos Hispanha is to arrive before night at
Vetegodenho, where he expects Don Julian Sanchez.
Every thing will be in motion here within three or
four days, and the enemy will have another point to
attend to. Two battalions of guards are here in
garrison. They amount to 900 men, and make in
the whole 2500 men.
The battalion of Neufchatel was at Valladolid, and
afterwards General Fournier marched for the same
place, and Lalsance for Arevola.

FRENCH PAPERS.

KONIGSBURG, AUGUST 21.

It is with the utmost surprise we have heard a
report yet circulated, that ships laden with colonial
produce have been permitted to enter our port, and
those of Pillau and Memel. Those who are acquain-
ted with the measures adopted all along our coast,
know very well, that there rumours are without the
slightest foundation. It is true, that on the 7th ult.
the American ship Columbus entered Palau in bal-
last, where she was examined. The Captain of this
vessel pleaded, that he was ignorant that the entry of
ships in ballast was not permitted. As there was no
wish to take advantage of the Captain's mistake, and
as there was nothing suspicious about him or his ves-
sel, he was permitted to depart. In general, it is not
true that any ships, whether Americans, Swedes, or
of any other nation, arc admitted into the above-
named ports, laden either with colonial produce or
manufactured goods.

PROCLAMATION OF THE ENGLISH GENERAL DOYLE,
DATED MATAROg JULY 8.
44 Catalonians—Suchet has spread a report that
Bonaparte has begun to treat for peace with Great
Britain, and that he was so anxious it should take ef-
feet, that he had sent Tallyrand to London, and was
himself gone to the vicinity of the coast to facilitate
a prompt communication.
64 Remember, valiant and unconquerable Catalo-
nians,
that it is scarcely a year since this same Su-
chet asserted that the British Government, in conjunc-
tion with the Spanish, had made peace with France,
and in consequence of it, he recommended the Cata-
lonians to retire to their houses, since there would no
longer be any war. And what were the means he
adopted to give publicity and weight to this infamous
treachery ?He published a proclamation, and forged The die is cast ! The insolence of the Americans
