In the following letter from Bristol,
also received this morning, it will be
seen that the Atreveda arrived there
yesterday, having sailed from Corunna
on the 18th instant.
BRrsToL, July IS.
| Arrived L'Atreveda, Cortieno, from
Corunna, sailed on the morning OF ,he
18th with dispatches. Up to that pc
riod, the attempts of the French upon
Corunna had been rep,llsed with cons;-
derable loss, and their advanced troops
were retreating.
Ii these statements there is perfect
concurrence, and as no subsequent ac-
counts are stated to have been received
| at Paris up TO Thursday, there is un-
questionably no reason for doubling that
the French have been repulsed in their
several attacks upon Corunna, and as
the force of the assailants is known not
to have greatly exceeded in number th;
in Corunna, the report of their having
retreated cannot be considered at all
improbable.

"The emperor, my master, in sending
me to reside near the Regency, estab-

to your Serene Highnesses, as well as
the whole Spanish nation, new proof
of the constant sentiments which have
led to the union of his august allies in
laboring in the great work of the resto-
| ration of Spain, and which now induce
him to desire that the Spanish govern
ment should show to all Europe its Vi
gor, in unison with the principles, with
the support, and with the protection of
! the alliance. We shall very soon see
triumph the cause arhich zoe all defend,
and for which France. is now making
such great and generous sacri6ces-we
shall see appear the Happy day when the
king. restored to the afectionate desires
of his people, will be enabled to cm-
ploy those persons whom his heart points
out to him, in order to labor for the re-
storstion Of order and tranquility in a
nation which, by SO many titles, merits
repose and tranquility. shall esteem
myself happy if with my feeble ta-
lents,n SC.
The President of the Regency replied
| in the name Of this body, and express
ed their gratitude towards the Emperor
of Austria, for the eficacious means
which he had employed, in order to give
liberty to their adored monarch, and to
! re-establsh in Spain that social order
which anarchy had destroyed The Pre-
sident added, that if the military rebel
lion, supported by foreign loan of two

revolutionists of Europe, was hardly
able to sustain itself against the great
majority of the nation, attached to the
cause of God, of Legitimacy, Of thrones,
and of the fidelity of the people-this
cause, now supported by the most pow
! erful monarchs of the world, will tri-
| imph in the most remote corners of the
earth, over the most depraved sects, the
most intimately united, the most cum
ming, and the widest spread of all those
which have ever appeared in the world
for the misery of the human race.
Discourse of Count Boycr, Minister PIE
mipotentia'y Of fte King Of Prussia.
81 have the distinguished honor Of
expressing on the part Of the king, my
master, the lively and sincere interest
which he takes in the melancholy situa-
ton of the generous Spanish nation, of
this nation so religious, SO faithful to
honor, so loyal towards its kings, of this
nation which formerly acquired and me-
rited the title of heroic. The world does
not now hope less from it, when the OBJ
iect is to rescue its sovereign from the
powerful, the most criminal rebellion.
eff the king of Prussia places much
| of his hopes on the efforts of Spain, he
does not place. less on the decision, on
the energy, and on the prudence of the
Regency charged to direct these efforts.
Both will concur with an ally truly mag
