FROM EUROPE
On the 22d of April, the British and
Spanish forces were compelled to abandon
the important post of Montagarda, in the
neighborhood of Cadiz. This event will af-
ford the French considerable advantage in
carrying on the attack upon that city.
The British continue sending troops into
Portugal. and the French forces upon the
frontiers are making movements, to COM
mence an attack upon that kingdom.
3onaparte at the last dates was at Dun
kirk, accompanied by his new wife.
In England, little or no mention is made
of American affairs. Sir Francis Burdett
continued quiet in the Tower, and his con-
dHct was becoming unpopular with his
friends in Parliament.
In our last we mentioned the arrival of
the u. S. frigate John Adams, bringing
dispatches from General Armstrong, our
minister in France. The correspondence
5etwixt Gen. Armstrong and the Duke of
Galore, has been published in the National
IntelAgencer. We regret it is not in our
power to publish these documents in this
days paper--they will be given in ournext.
The information received from France
by the John Adams, does not afford the
least prospect of a settlement with Bona
Parte. The determined hostility OF the
Emperor of France is now known to our
government in an official form, vet Mr..
Madlson's paper says that " the dispatches
add bat iittle 10 or Stock efigfo,mdfion" BY
this, It would seem, our government long
since knew the real situation of our affairs
with France. The editor of the Network
Herald remarks
Mr Armstrong told them 50 in Febru-
airy Io00-He told them there was no
nope. And with spirit becoming an A.
merican expected our government to tule
ats SrSHna. Our government knew the de-
sltlon OF Napoleon,-They knew when he
had once taken HIS grou,la that he would not
recede. Did they take their ground No
they fiattered the people with false homes
they cried peace when thew knew there
was no peace They instructed General
armstrong 20 disgrace himself and his
country, by mean and pitifu. supphcations,
which at length produced the insolent let
Ter OF the Due de Galore. The naughty
duke, 10 prevent our government from sun
pressing his insult as well as pocketiny the
affront, took care to publish the letter TO
ne world. before it was presented TO our
munster. This insolent letter was publish
Cd IN tins country long before the sdiourn-
ment OF Congress; but had not the q off

The last act of N'Apolyon's villainy was
the contiscatilng OF the American vessels
