Since this period, every town from Ca
diz to Valencia have risen en- n,QSSS, and a
general CONSUMPTION has been made of every
person capable of carrying arms from II tc
40. As fast as they are enlisted, they are
marched towards the Sierra Morena to qua rd
the passes in those mountains, which divide
the province of Andlalusia from the other pro-
vinces of Spain. An aruistice for six months
has been concluded with the British and c.
very thing is said to be granted bv the Admit
raj oil this port, and the Governor of Gibral-
tar, which their powers will admit of. Ad-
vice has been sent TO England by several
opportunities and in few DAYS Commissi-
oners will be appointed. and invested with
full powers by the Supreme Government of
Seville, to proceed to England, and adjust a
Peace and plan of operations. The block
ade Of the port is raised and we are assur.
ed that the moment the French feet in this
bay have surrendered, the British feet will
come in, and every thing be put on the most
friend footing between Spain and England"
The writer proceeds to detail, journal wise,
the proceedings of the Spanish and French
fleets in the harbor Of Cadlz from the time
OF their commencement of hostilities until
the surrender of the latter,--Not hav-
ing an opportunity, whilst at CadiZ, of
forwarding the above letter to his friend,
he incloses it in another from Gibraltar,
under date of July Sd, in which he says -
"Wc are in hourly expectation of hear
ing of the surrender of General Dupont and
his army, consisting of nearly 5000 men,
within three leagues of Cordova, and $50
miles from CadiZ. This is IA division of
French troops that were on their march to
Seville when the revolution commenced, de-
tached by the Duke of Berg from the Grand
Army, consisting Of about 70 600 men, in the
vicinity of Madrid There are now only
5000 men in the vicinity of the metropolis
the residue or this large army, were detach
ed to take possession of different parts Of the
country. and were marching with the utmost
confidence when the revolution commenced.
Dupont must inevitably surrender. as he is
hemmed in on all sides by an army much su-
perior to his own, and without hope of relief
The French army that originally arrived in
this country consisted OF about so coo men,
and were in possession of many principal
towns. From the immense territory over
which they are scattered, without being a
be to form a junction in season, and max
ing good their retreat, and from the energy
with which the Spaniards have acted. there
is no doubt but the major part of this immeHsa
army will eventually fall into the hands Of
the Spaniards.''

Mora, (Portugal) June 10.
Positive intelligence has been reCeiN ed
from Lisbon, that almost all the French
troops are moving to different points, and
that the remainder, with gen. Junot, are for
tifying themselves in St. Georges Castle,
where they have collected provisions and
ammunition. Whatever was in the arsenals
they have removed to the forts and it is e.
ven added, that they intend to enter into
tices of capitulation with the nation. The
few troops which were in Epora, flied off
towards Beyra, and were very near being at
tackled by the people, in consequence of the
threats of the French commander, who was
under the necessity of departing without the
subsidies which he had demanded We are
informed, that in Beja, all the inhabitants arc
up in arms, only waiting for the signal to at
tack, and for somebody to head them.
SEVILLE, June IS.
We learn, by several officia! papers, that
the Grand duke of Berg, has, at the request
of the Beard of Government at Madrid, sus-
pended the march of the French troops to the
provinces which have proclaimed Ferdinand

The French garrison in Madrid does not
amount to 5000 men. The Duke of Berg
continued i'll the Monclova, whence he ntcn-

should be fortified. Mcnccy's division, con-
sistiBg of CT 5000 men, had marched out
OF Madrid, making enquiries respecting the
roads which lead 60 several provinces, so

vision formerly quartcrcd in the Fscurial,
which had proceeded against SegoWa, and
was 5000 strong, was beaten by the Segovi-
ans, on the Sth, with loss of 3, OCO men.
