c: the best inform ed.persons there, before the arrival

Great tritain—that since Mr. roster's arrival, he
and Mr. Munro have had several long conversa-

that it is now confidently believed, that an ami-

CADJZ, JULY 16.

Representatives of the People !—Be not surprised,
that, in these days of grief, we addreis you in the lan-
guage of truth ; nor ascribe to disrespectful motives
feelings inspired by the purest patriotism.
It is matter of astonishment, that, after a struggle
of three years, we yet remain either so confident, or
so torpid, that we regard with indifference the im-
minent danger which surrounds us, leaving to chance
the decision of the happiness or misery of many
generations.
Should this appear an exaggeration, let us turn
our eyes to the series of our miseries during the last
'three years of blood;and consider what has been the
fruit even of our victories. Let us not deceive our-
selves: if the Spanish nation has displayed an energy
and valour which, properly directed, would have
shaken off the yoke of the Tyrant, and driven his
bands from our territory, yet it is too certain, that
by an unhappy fatality, this nation, which has made
and is making such efforts for its freedom, has the
mortification of seeing all its sacrifices fruitless, and
of lamenting overy day new reverses of fortune.
Would to Goa that melancholy experience did not'
confirm this bitter truth, which has been again pressed
upon our minds by the unhappy news of the fall of
Tarragona. An event so gloomy leads us to make
some disagreeable, perhaps, but useful reflections.
Since the beginning of May it was known that the
enemy were directing their attempts against Tarra-
gona. Day after day confirmed this news, and the
necessity was known of sending a force to prevent it
from yielding to the troops which began to press it.
At such a crisis, it might have been expected tltiat we
should have been wholly occupied with alarm, anxi-
ety, and restlessness, till we could afford it succour;
instead of which a fatal inaction prevailed ; we lived
in tranquillity, as if under the shade of beneficent
peace.
In this disgraceful apathy we were, till the terrible
news of a great misfortune restored us for a few mo-
ments to the knowledge of our situation. At these
momeats, we perceived our errors, and took sonie
steps to remedy them, but still it appears too certain
that the great object of the deliverance of the Penin-
sula is not that by which we ate exclusively occupied.
With such apathy and indifference, can we think to
triumph over the usurper of Europe ? Representa-
tives of the people, good Spaniards of all parties,
listen to us ! Tarragona has been the prey of the
enemy ; his hosts are preparing for new conquests ;
we are lost if we do not make extraordinary efforts.
The Spanish nation can and ought to be free ; is has
resources every where; its valour is heightened by
implacable hatred to its tyrants. There is no reason
to despair ; but there is just reason for shaking off
that eterna indolence which characterises all our ac,
ticns. Without great sacrifices—without great efforts
and activity—without a decided determination to
save the country, our degradation is certain. We
are capable of every thing ; but, if we do not endea.
your to apply extraordinary remedies to the existing
crisis—if we do not employ ourselves on affairs of
importance, instead of spending our time on trifles—
we cannot fail to be unfortunate at last: 'Tarragona
liar fallen !

SUPPLEMENT TO THE REGENCY GAZETTE.
CADIZ, JULY 6.

The rapid march of the Spanish troops under the
command of General Blake, from Estremadura to
the county of Niebla, is very glorious. In El Cerro,
a small division'of the same army put to flight an
enen►y's column of 600 men. Another division, un-
der the command of General Zayas, attempted to
scale Niebla on the night of the ,30th ; but the small
number and shortness of the ladders prevented the
success of the enterprise, which was attended with
the loss of 20 men,
