We cannot doubt a moment OF the eNertl-
ons which the united provinces Of Spain
would make to obstruct and defeat the ma
licious designs Of the French, and that they
will sacrifice even their lives on this occasi-
on, the most iiaportant, and even unparsilcl-
ed in the history of the Eatisn, both in the
thing itself and in the horrible means Of in
gratitude and perfdy by which the French
have undertaken, pursued, and are now en-
deavoring to effect our slavery;
i. Let the first object be to avoid all Sc
neral actions, and convince ourselves Of the
very great hazards, without any advantage,
or even the hope of it, to which they would
expose us. The reasons Of this resolution
are many, and such as any one viii discover
who has the use Of his understanding.
2. A war of partisans is the system which
suits us the embarrassing and wasting the
enesnv's armies By want Of provisions, de-
stroying bridges, ,hrowingup Entertainments
in proper situations, and other similar
means. The situation of Spain, its many
mountains, and the passes which they pre-
sent, It's rivers and torrents, and even the
oolioeation of It's provinces, invite us to car
ny on this species of warfare successfully.
8. 1t is Indispensable that each province
should have its general,o of known talent, and
OF such experience as our situation permits,
that his heroic Loyalty should inspire the ut
most confidence /; and that every general
should have under his command officer, Of

ORDER
oftde Seville Lnnfa, relative 10 american

vessels.
On seeing the decree ofN. A. of this date,
there was II consultation as to what ought to
be done with American vessels, and the YES
sells of other friendly powers detained by
French and Spanish privatcers upon the sus-
picion, or from the declarations of their
crews, that they had touched at the ports or
been visited by the vessels of England; in
which case we are of opinion, that the de-
cree of the Emperor Napoleon first should
be considered as annullcd, so far as it re-
lates to it's execution in this kingdom, and of
consequence that the said vessels should not
be admitted And as to the payment of costs
the grounds of suspicion ought to be taken
into consideration, since in our opinion the
vessels detained merely on suspicion ought
not to pay costs those only ought to pay as
gainst whom at the date of the publication of
the decree of V. A. it was proven that they
had touched in the ports or had been visit
ed by the vessels of England. And without
the consent of the supreme council we inform
your eXccllencies of it that you may proceed
accordingly in similar cases.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
Alcala.

We have cndeavored, by describing the TO-
sitions by figures or angles, to convey our ideas
more simply to the mind and it must be under
stood that we do not mean TO say that the armies
at any time form exact straight lines but that
the direction of the columns of march and the
positions occupied approach as nearly as is prac-
ucahie to such lines because the perfection of
military movement is to roach the object of march
by the most direct line possible In OR next we
shall endeavor To speculate upon plan of defence
such as the facts upon which we can place any
dependence may induce, and such as the case
may authorlse us fairlv to coniectnre. Anrnra
