SPANISH PAPERS.

ADDRESS FROM 'ME SUPREME CEVTRAL JUNTA
To rul PEOPLE or GALLIC( 1.

a ProrLE OP GALLICIA:

66 Ou seeing you fall into the power of the ene-
my without any resistance ; on contemplatin;
your naval emporiutn, the pride of our coast,,
occupied by the French; and this leading and
powerful province train sea to um subject to a
foreign yoke—indignation and grief wrung front
your native country the groans of malediction and
anger, as from a mother who complains to hea.
run and earth of the degradation of a daughter.
in whose purity and virtue the was wont to glory.
66 Sinistreus events then followed in a rapid
successsion, as fortunate occurrences did before
the battles of Espinosa, Burgos and 'f trdela were
followed by the action of Somisierra, the capture
of the capital, and the defeat near Ucles. The
ruins of Saragossa, the affair of Vella, and the
battle of Medellin succeeded ; but if in these me.
movable actions fortune forsook us, at icaq the
public opinion was not lost. The wonderful
resistance of the capital of Arragon ; the persewk.
ranee and gallantry with which our Cateloni:,n
army, notwithstanding its inferiority in numbet,
maintained an action fur eleven hours, broke the
enemy's centre, and thus fought its trey into Tat.
ragutta ; the sanguinary conflict of bleddim, in
which the French soldiers were struck with asto-
nishment, on witnessing the intrepidity and buhl-
ness of our troops, whom they despised at the
bottom of their heart, demonstrated that Spain,
although deeply affected by those disasters, did nut
lose her confidence. Her warriors pursued the path
of glory, and were every day acquiring additional
rights, and additional means to obtain victory.
But, Gallicians! Gallicia, entered without re-
sistance, domineered without opposition, and sink-
, ing into slavery without a groan—Gallicia discon-
certed all the calculations of prudence, an 4 gave the
death-blow to the state by destroying all its hopes.
Who could have supposed, on that unfortunate
night, that the first dawn of happiutiss would
burst forth upon our country from Gallicia ? Gal.
liciaas, weak as you appeared is your fall, a huts.
drud times more great and glorious were you in
your insurrection. Despair itself, magnanimous
Gallicians, braced your arms, to a degree of
strength of which you were at first unconscious,
and the enemy was soon able to perceive
that loyalty and patriotism were rekindling
the flame of war in a province, which, appa.
rently, was perfectly tranquil. The shouts of rode.
pendence and revenge began to be heard on every
'road, in every village and town ; rage supplied
arms, and with him who had nut a sabre to bran.
dish, or a firelock to charge, the peaceful scythe
and sickle became implements of war and death.
Individuals, in a state of extreme agitation, were
searching for each other, companies were collecting,
corps forming ; the conqueroris fearful in their
turn of the vanquished, retired to their strong holds ;
thither they were pursued ; there they were as-
' sailed and routed. Vigo surrendered with its op-
pressors, and Gallia.' sending them in chains to
the opposite sea-coast, chose them to bear wit-
ness to the glorious truth, that the Spanish have
not yet entirely forgotten the art of conquering
and enchaining the French.
" This was the first day which shone propitious

o Spin, after five months of disasters. It was

followed by others; and the •ery men who, at the
first moment of surprise, appeared so dejected,
were the first who prepared the return of victory,
which was afterwards gathered jointly with them
by the warriors who flew to their assistance, in ttp
streets of Santiago, in the fields of Estella and
Lugo, and at thu Bridge of St. Payo. It was in
vain that Soult, who, with considerable trouble,
escaped from our allies in Oporto, hastened to join
and reinforce with his defeated division the weak.

and Ncy. Obstructed in their marches, inter-
rupted in their communisations, and disappointed
in their hopes of lighting decisive banks, these
arrogant Generals despair of conquering, and
curse and detest a war which wastes them without
glory. Where are now that assurance, that con,
fidence, with which they told yon that all was
tranquil in the Peninsula except Corunna and
Ferrol ? Where that vain glory with which, in
their ambitious views, the coasts of the Cartabrian
and Atlantic Sea resounded ? They might
devastate and ravage your country, but could
not subject. and maintain themselves is it.
Wearied with contending with physical forces,
which encreased every day, and with a mo-
ral resistance which had rendered itself in-
vincible, they at length fly from your soil, ex-
hausted, wretched, dispersed, without arms, and
without clothes ; and in Castile give a fresh and
striking proof of the impossibility of imposing a
yoke upon a people when they are unanimous in
their resistance.

" The Spaniards do not pt know what war
is," said the infmuous traitors to their country—.
those who disguised under the mask of foresight
their criminal egotism. With these impressions of
discouruesomit they wished to repress the gene.

rous movements of loyalty. Vile and pusilla►►i-
mous men! We now know what war is ; and this
terrible lesson is written in our soil, by the finger
of desolation, and graven on our hearts with the
poiguard of vengeance. The execrable wretches,
whose satellites ye make yourselves, have c►tcecil_
ed in their atrocities, whatever your perfidions
suggestions could devise, and cowardly imagination
supply. But proceed to Gallicia, if you dare to
do so, and learn to appreciate Spanish valour. So.
crates stretched his valiant arm over the burning
coals of Porsena ; his arm was consumed without
the hero breathing a sigh, or asking mercy. Such
is Spanish patriotism ; the blood of sacrificed vie.
tims is still crying up to Heaven, the smoke of
fired houses still rising to the clouds, the silence of
desolation is still hovering over a country, for-
merly covered with villages and farms ; yet ask
the families which are wandering through the
woods, whether they will not rather live with the
wild beasts of the forest than have any intercourse
with the assassins who sold you ? ask them, whe-
ther they repent their resolution ? try whe-
ther you discover among them one voice which
sidiz with you, one vote which exculpates
you ? You are now free, people of Gallicia,
end the country, in proclaiming your emancipa-
tion, blots out with tears of admiration and affee.
tion the painful expressions in which it once
complained of you under different circumstances.
You are free, and owe it to your sublime patrio-
tism, your valour, and your perseverance ; you
are free, and Spain, nay, all Europe, congratu.
late you with additional satisfaction, because your
fate seemed truly hopeless. All good men bless
`•our name, and offering you as a model to all
other provinces, it considers the day of your re-
demption as the forerunner of the redemption of
the country. But, people of Gallicia, if you
wish to preserve the liberty you have maintained
by dint of prodigies ; if you wish to sustain .he
glory that surrounds yon, and reverberates
throughout Spain ; if you wish to gather the fruits
of so many exertions perfectly 'natured, remain
united and subordinate to the authorities who
are at the head of you. Bear in mind all ye
who have any management over public affairs of
this great Province, ye, as well who coin matid,
as ye who obey, that tranquillity and safety are
found►d in virtue. By strength and perseverance
you have defeated the enemy ; by union, by love
of order and justice, you will constitute your
happiness, and repair thss dreadful evils which the
French invasion has inflicted on you. Let public
tranquillity revive, with the empire of the laws,
peace and moderation in all towns and villages,
union and subordinvitin in the armies, eternal
l►atred against the tyrants. Such ought to he your
r►otto.

Raawica, half-past Six P. M. August 11.
" Our anxious desires to hear of the fall of
Flushing are at length gratified. A fishing smack
from Campvero has brought the pleasing intelli-
gence that the place was taken possession of yes.
terday (Tuesday) morning, at seven o'clock, after
having been bombarded from one on Sunday
morning to three o'clock yesterday morning, from
the land side, while a heavy and tremendous fire
was kept up by the gun-boats and men of war
from the sea. Oil Monday the Governor sent
out a flag of truce, offering to surrender on
terms. His terms were rejected. The enemy
had received considerable reinforcements from
Cadsand, before our ships succeeded in cutting
off the communication on that side, so that
their force was very respectable, some accounts
say between 10,000 and 11,000 men. The works
were also in such order as induced in the besieged
a belief that they would bo able to hold out for
a considerable time, if not to defeat entirely our
attempts against the place; but nothing could
withstand the ardour of the besiegers, and the
energy with which the fire was kept up after every
thing was ready for the bombardment; and the
bombardment instantly recommenced, and was
continued unremittingly till three o'clock yester.
day morning, when another Hag of truce was sent
out. The firing instantly ceased, and by sevro
o'clock our troops were in possession of the
place. The garrison, I understand, surrendered
at discretion. Our 141,s was comparatively trial*
that of the enemy was great."

CAMPTURI Atm 15.—1 passed Gravesend
' at 10 A.M. on the 13th instant, and arrived in the
East Scheldt on the 14th ; being without a pilot,
we went up close to Flushing, where we cncoun.
tered the first magnificent, but awful sight. Al.
ready, at a great distance, we saw smoke: eons.
ing nearer to Flushing, we heard the roar of can.
non. Flushing was then bombarding on the land
side; and on our nearer approach we saw ten
British line-of-battle ships, like a half moon, at
some distance from the fortress, in order of bat-
tle, with innumerable other ships of war. We
clearly saw the Signals given, and all at once, as
if by magic, the British ships dashed towards
Flushing, and oprneil their thunder upon the ene.
my. In an instant the ships and Flushing seemed
enveloped in smoke. Considering it improper
to pass in the rear of the fleet to Aliddleburgh,
we returned with a strong S. S. W. breeze, and
proceeded through the intricate sands of Zutland,
and other passages, to the West Scheldt, at the
mouth of which about 20 ships of the line lay at
anchor, and the eye and telescope in every diree.
(ion met with all sorts of men of war, supporting
the operations of this gigantic expedition. The
transports are at anchor in the West Scheldt, and
appear 1" a forest of masts." The total is esti-
mated at 1500 ships. At night, at anchor in the
West Scheldt, I saw from the mast-head of the
fishing-boat, the town of Flushing on fire. It
scented to me that about six o'clock the firing
ceased, and we already enjoyed the idea of the
conquest. We heaved, and went up the West
Scheldt, and the tide being strongly against us,
we again anchored in a very smooth river. We
all saw when night came on, that the town was on
fire ; but hearing no more cannon, we thought
it the consequence of the bombardment. Alli
' went to rest, except the boy, and 1 was writ.
ing. About ten o'clock I went en deck, by
mere chance, for fresh air, and judge of my asto-
inshment of what I saw ! Oh God! such a sight 1
never wish to see again ! The buy told me lie
saw rockets; I myself thought they were signals
of ships at an immense distance; we must have
been 20 miles from Flushing across the Island;
but neither I nor the boy could hear cannon.
However, being uneasy, I woke the Captain►.
He, having better organs of the car than I, dis.
tinutly heard cannon—the bombardment had again
begun. We saw rockets, Ste. and every moment
we saw a flash of lightning, being the priming of
cannon. It was a dreary, rainy night—strong
breeze. Thus this new bombardment lasted
from about half past nine o'clock at night, to
precisely three o'clock this morning being the 15th
August, at which time I was witness of the scene,
though at a distance. It was a continuation of
fire-works—every moment a rocket, every mo.
ment the sound of cannon. We saw no explosion,
so that I hope our ships era perfectly safe. The
bombardment (I learned this since my arrival) is
the most tremendous ever known. The fortress
surrendered this morning unconditionally, but no
particulars are known here."

The port of Corunna being perfectly open, it
is intended immediately to re-establish the yelp.
lar intercourse with that port by packets. The
Marquis de la ROMAN.% has made a request to this
effect. It is expected that, by this time, a regu-
lar communication will have been opened be-
tween the corps of ROMANA and the armies un.
der Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY and Gen. CHESTS,
and betweei. the whole North, South, and centre
of Spain.

The Honourable Artillery Company, on Sa-
turday, celebrated the Birth-day of their Captain.
General, his Royal Highness the Prince of
%Yates : they mustered in their ground at twelve
o'clock; at one a royal salute was fired by the
field pieces and battalion. After the field e'er-
cise, the corps dined at the Armory-house. On
the health of the KING, Patmce, and ROYAL
FAKILY being drank, a salute of seven guns was
fired to each.

The arrangements for the establishment of a
King's Dock-yard at Milford, are understood to
be complete, and that two line of battleships, a
frigate, &c. are to be proceeded upon directly.

EXEC= °sr.—Wednesday morning, James
Cooper and William Moulds, severally convicted
at Croydon Assizes of two most horrid murders
(mentioned in our paper of Wednesday last), paid
the forfeit of their lives to the offended laws of their
country, in Horsemonger.lane, in the Borough.
On their bodies being cut down, they were con.
veyed to St. Thomas's Hospital for dissactlya.

BATTLE. OF W.4GR.43f.

The following Austrian official Account has ap.
paired in the Hamburgh Papers ; but It is without
a date :

" By the 4th, the enemy had completed a new
bridge from the Isle of Lubau, across a branch of
the Danube, in which he was much favoured both
by the ground and by hn immense numliof artil.
lery. The Imperial and Royal army drawn
up on the eminence behind the rivulet Russ, ex-
tending its right wing beyond Sussessbrunn and
Kagan, and its left beyond Markgrasen-Nensie.
del. The centre was posted near Wagram. Tee
enemy having, in the night between the 4 h and
sth, crossed over to the left bank of the Danube,
large masses appeared very eatly in the morning
in the plain. Not long before noon he attacked
the line of the Imperial and Royal army in all its
points; but his greatest exertions were directed
against the centre, probably with a view of forc.
ing it. His attacks, though repeated with the
greatest impetuosity, and supported by an immense
number of ordnance, among which were many
batteries of the heaviest calibre, proved this day
abortive. The firing ceased at ten o'clock at
night. The Imperial and Royal Army had on the
whole of its line maintained its positien, and made
a considerable number Of prisoners, among whom
there are many Saxons, Badanese, Italian, and
Portuguese soldiers.
" On the 6th in the morning, at four o'clock,
the enemy renewed his attacks with still larger
maws, and greater impetuosity than un the pee-
cedinc day. Even thus his efforts against the
centre and the right wing were attended with so
little success that the latter had even gained such
advantages as to justify the expectation of the
completed victory, when the enemy, with fresh
divisions and great superiority, suddenly penetrat-
ed the left wing near Alarkgrafen—Neusiedel, and
succeeded, after an obstinate engagement, in cote.
pelling it to retreat. One of the wings of the
Royal and Imperial army being thereby exposed,
his Imperial and Royal Highness the Archduke
and Generalissimo has directed the retreat by the
way of Stammersdorf and the Bisamhill, in cond.
(pence of which the army occupies a new posi.
tiun, covering the communication with Bohemia.
This retreat was made in the best order, and with.
out material loss.

" In the centre, as well as in the right wing,
the enemy suffered very considerably. Sic thou-
sand prisoners were taken from him, among whom
ate three Generals. He likewise lost twelve can-
non, with ammunition. and was in every respect
so much weakened, that ho bet not attempted since
to pursue the Imperial and Royal army farther.—
General Lasalle is among the dead.

" The Imperial and koyal army has also to la.
ment a great loss. In General Nordmann it has
been deprived of a very excellent officer. General:
Peter Vocsai, D'Aspre, and Vultassavits, are
without hopes of recovery. Generals Prince of
Hesse.Hemburgh, Stutterheim, and Paar, are less
severely wounded. His Imperial Highness the
Generalissimo himself, and Prince Lichtenstein,
received slight musket wounds, which, however,
will not be attended with any dangerous conse-
quences. It remains to be observed, (hat the
whole army has again afforded such proofs of cou-
rage and perseverance as not to cloud our future
prospects with any apprehensions."
