intend to repsss the Sierra fridge ofmotin-
ta;nsA and return to Madrid but as their
{ intention may be different, this supreme
council has taken all the necessary measures
either 70 receive them, if their purpose is TO
make an attack elsewhere, or to harrass
them on their march. At the same time the
council has written to his excellency general
don Francisco Xavier Castanas, to execute
such military operation as he shall judge
most proper according to existing clrcum-
stances.
a letter from Anduiar of the 9th June,
states the following: This day this city rose
against the French who occupied It, and
proclaimed Ferdinand VII. They took all
the French belonging to the army and their
commander and three Of his guard who
made resistance, were killedin the house OF
don Tuan Saiazar this affair happened at
one O'Clock in the morning.
Juae Olive have learned by COM
missioner who has arrived from the Iunta
of Badaioz, that about 200 French having
presented themselves with intent to pass the
bridge of Guadianna, they were attacked
and driven back with loss. In Esuenadu-
"a are more then 10000 men ready Tor &C
ton, aud every day there arrives here Spa
nish soldiers, and even sometimes regiments
of cavalry from our arnsy in Portugal.
BY letters from Lisbon OF the Gath OF last
month, the accounts are confirmed OF the
continued desertion Of our soldiers, and Of
the scarcity of provisions which is suffered
there 50 that the horses eat straw, which IS
the best food which can be procured toF
them. Compare this information win tie
Madrid Journal Of the 1e1h May, which at
firms that 8 there are provisions IN abuls-
dance and at moderate prices" and it viii be
seen with what distrust intelligence from
that place should be received.

5 The following address and appeal to the
Spanish nation WAS frs, published at Cadiz,
anonymously, but immediately circulated
through all parts of the kingdom, in conse-
quence OF the delivery Of the princeof peace
to Napoleon, when the designs Of TIC lat
ter upon the crown OF Spain began to be We
ry manifest & to the animated production
of this unknown author is attributed the
cause Of the first and general movements,

sPANIARDs,
YOUR suffering fer more than eigh-
teen wears under & government the most ty-
rannieai and moastrous of ali that have. ever
existed, has conducted you to the extremity
from which a foreigner, elevated by acci-
dent, admitted through the innocence of a
people who sighed for liberty, and sustained
By the inconstant genus of the French, has
tie bafbarous pretension OF dividing our
country, for reducing Us TO a11 eternal and
shameful servitude, AS he mas affected IN O.
ther states abusing their can6,or and sim
pie credulity, aferthey had submitted them
selves to his protection and power.
He has even had the audacity Of protect
irg and granting honors to don Manuel Co
doy, the chief Of those abominable del;n-
quents who have loaded you with cpprobri-
um, who vas even aiready prisoner, and
upon the point-oT suffering the punishment
which he had roerited. Through these neaas
he attempted to irritate YOU and divide YOU
into parties but ths discerning Spaniards
viii know Only to swear concord among
themselves, and to revenge ths country.
Assassination, perhdies, teeasons, decepti-
ons & the ignorance Of the principal govern
ments OF Europe, have favored his ambition
and his tyranny. The duke de Engeia was
taken by violence from neutral country,
conducted IN military manner to Paris,
and within twenty four hours after his arti-
yal, was shot, without forms, yithout regu-
lar trial, and without even proceeding to any
manifestation of what they might be able TO
assign as the nature of his crimes--in this
procedure violating the sacred rights Of na-
tons, outraging humanity, and committing
cruel ard attrocious assassination. The1Iol-
ianders, the Swiss, and the Poles, have been
victims of his perfdy; lnasmuch as he has
forfeited his formal and public assurances
neither preserving their integrity, or leay
ing them free vote for their constitutional
government. Every thing hasbeen ousrag-
From an American gentleman, now here,

euracy the monies which will actually
come into the Treasury ia eaeh year from
hose various sources Of revenue ; be-
cause many Of ,heahrsnches are in q on

csiPts atthe Treasury from arrearagesof
taxes, from fines, forieitures and amer
eements, from the redemption Of iands
ferleited tor the nou-paymeut Of taxes,
fron the sale of land warrants, from the
James River Company, and other Incl
DENTAL sources must, from their own
nature, vary almost every year, as may
be perceived from a comparison Of the
Treasures accounts for any two years.
But it Is very evident that the statement
efthe Revenue annually furnished TO the
General Assembly by the auditors Of

view o the subject. 1t is not to be 10.
tsyred from this, that there has been any

On the contrary he has pursued with
