A. private letter, dated at San Fel!ces de
los Gallegos, September 22.
I" NV dear friend-Efow much viii you
wish for this letter, in order to know the
result Of the attack which we were prepar-
ing for, as mentioned to you IN my list OF
the 18th. The result has been as then
promised myself. The army, after work
ing all the night of the 18th in taking Pc.
sitions to open the attack in the morning OF
the 10Th as we expected, were Informed
that The miserable wretches headed by Ney
lad the same night set off towards Sa!a-
maneha, having fires llgalea by way OF de
ceying US; SO that when We returned they
were already six leagues in advance upon
which the general in chief ordered the d.
visions to re-occupy their former positions,
the head quarters being again at this place.
I have not words to express tas sensations
felt by our troops On hearing o. the flight OF
the enemy. Those who did not fash with
indignation, wept with rage; and the com
mandcrs had to console the troopsby telling
them, that very soon they would give them
an opportunity of avenging themselves.

was called Julian, and now is Don Julian.

It is reported that his Sici!ian majesty
will have monarchy assigned him in New
Spain, under the protection of this country,
in case all attempts to restore Ferdinand to
liberty and to his nation should fail. The
reason circulated for this intended establish
ment is. that he is the next heir OF the
crown of Spain at present in the enjoyment
of personal liberty, and one more likely to
be we'll received by the transatlantic Span
lads, than any other parsonage in Europe.

An article by the Gottenburg mail, which

Turks, with the loss of s,4oo men killed,

of cannon. 1t is added, that the .svians
have also been defeatedj in several actions,
and that the heads of 500 of the principal
of them have been sent to Constantinople.

Nothing has yet occurred which would
enable us to decide touching peace or war
Negotiations forpeace, tits true, are car
rying on with the greatest activity; but in
the mean time preparations are making on
both sides, with increased energy, for the
renewal of hostiiities. The Austrians re-
cruit necessarily, since the conclusion of
the armistice, in those provinces which are
not occupied by the French army. Gen.
Ducas has been named by the emperor

baron de Wimpsen had occupied near the

Immediate direction Of the monarch, all the

The following letter from James Simpson,

nation of the masters of American vessels,
and others therein concerned, that they may

that these men, then in power. were gratifi
ed in their worst wishes. On that day, they
let loose those orders of Coiucil upon cur
trade, which. but. for the timely iutcrpositi~a
o: our government, would have swept milli-
ons Of our property, and thousands OF our sea-
men from the Ocean. There was no new ag-
grcssion upon the rights of Great Britain
1t is true that the infamous execution of the
Berlin Decree in the Case OF the Horizon had
previously taken place hut this case was
not known to the British Government. For
the orders of November bear date sn The
very day that Mr.. Armstrong, in Paris, be-
came officially acquainted with this first I'M
frieadly decisi n " the French Council of
Priz"s under the arrete OF the 21st of Nov.
1906.
These facts will demonstrate the fallacy
of the Massachusetts Report-They will
s.3w, that, SO far as relates to the DEGREES
and orders OF 1%06a and 1907, the French were
not the orcnost in their agsressions upon
the United Statcs-Tnat the British Orr
ders in Council were not provoked by any
serious argument of retaliation-and that
they were issued without any real reference
to the conduct of France towards Neutral
Commerce. They were issued ON a system
OF aggression, previously settled-that was
dictated by a spirit Of political hostility and
commercial jealousy. 1t is not ouriAtention
To cast a veil ovcr the atrocities of France.
Her conduct towards the u. States has been
without provocation and without principle
and it is far froya our desire to repress that
resentment which her conduct has so Justly
provok d.-Bu it must be admitted by all
impartial men. that whist she has chasti-
sed us with whips, O. Britain has scuurged
