dispensed to those active patriots, were a
dapted to tho situation of things and the in
teliigence received by the Junto. But the
information since received, while it has fl :.
led all good citizens with satisfaction and
JOY, has convinced the Junta, that immunity
should be general, as the merit and services
have been general. In Catalonia there is no
difference of persons--all are soldiers In
the villages and high roads-in the cities
occupied by the .enemy-wherever there are
Catal'ns, an interminable hatred towards
the French is manifested ; an ineXtinguish-
able zeal in behalf of the country loyalty
towards Ferdinand VII which stands every
trial. The Monjuich of Corona, with three
breaches, and assaulted FIVE times i'm two

shameful flight. leaving the ground covered
with arms and dead bodies. Provisions, am

Moved by those just. considerations, the
Supreme Governing Ju1ta of the Kingdom,
who anxiously embrace every opportunity of
relieving the people from their burthens,
and OF rewartling the services they render

TRURO, Sept. 29.--Thc duel between lord
Castlereagh and Mr.. Canning, seems to have
formed the last act of the Portland ADM
nistration. The London papers differ as 10
the precise cause of this honorable folIy

through tie mediation of his royal highness

popularity 'hicb it enjoyed, more perhaps
to the generous feelings, than to the sober
Judgment of the nation Nor was this the
only national error to which it was indebted
The people mistook a disposition to war,
for capacity in the conduct of it with nn-
merited confidence the nation urged the 90
vernment to assist the Spaniards in their
glorious struggle but experience has fatally
convinced US. that junta of drivellers may
exist in England as we'll as III Spain But
th are not times when such associations
can exist long in any country. Fallen thro'
iTbecility ard personal jealousies, a radical
change has now become necessary. and it il
with Infinite satisfaction we fud that, in this
crisis of the state, his majesty has wisely
had recourse to the council of the prince of
Wales. Our readers will reccllcct that, We
Try lately the prince had been wholly estran.

In times of revolution, in times of

one Of his countrymen will acknowl-

ter has appeared in Spain, nor has it
been the policy of the Spaniards TO
find or to create fuch one. Wi.h-
GU. a Mihiadss, a Fabius, an Epami-

that the bells and the cannon which

The Britiih have furniihed them with
ammunition, with cloathing, and have

left alone to fight their battles. Of
money the Spaniards have abundance,
and they are in clofe alliance with
thoie who rule over all the Seas of
