During the last week the strong po-

line from Santarem to Leira, figueria
and Coimbsa.
The Force Of Donna Maria here,
and few leagues in advance, may be
SIX or eight thousand regular troops,
and twelve or fifteen thousand others,
with four hundred cavalry, and Two
parks Of artillery. We aIs therefore

with the provinces Of Spain.

The Paris Tribune publishes the follow ing
letter, addressed by Joseph Bomparte to its
editor, M Sarrut.
L0adoa, august I.
Sir-I have read the article in your jour-
nal OF July %, giving an account Of the so
iemnity which took place, 26th, at the foot
Of the column Of Austerlitz, Of the inaugura-
ton OF the statue OF the Emperor Napoleon.
You attribute the absence Of his brothers 10
very strange motives; are you then ignorant
OF the ubiquitous law dictated by enemies of
France 10 the cider branch Of the Bourbons
which excludes them out OF hatred To the
name Of Napoleon, Can you attribute to "a,
any other crime' Gould you wish, in conte mpt
OF law which the majesty Of the people has
not yet torn IN pieces, we should como and
throw the torch Of discord into our country
at the moment when IL was restoring the sta
tue OF our brother? Ought we TO despair of
the justice OF the natiooi Tour pour la nation
was the motto Of our brother, and il shall be
ours. We demand nothing but that which
may spring from its own free will. Instead
OF assuming the language which might have
been used by public alton issued by our enc
mics, and throwing blame on prescribed pat
riots, who are forced TO wander about the
globe victims to the enemies or our country.
you would have shown more courage and
justice had you reminded the electors that
Napoleon has n mother ianguishing in n for
eign Land without its being permitted to her
children 10 take last farewell Of her, and
that she Partakes all the rigours Of an exile
oil twenty years with three generations Of her
descendants, sixty French citizens. They
are guilty ONO other crime than that Of being
the relations OF man TO whom q statue Is
raised by the will OF the nation.
Let the electors become the interpreter,
oil France BY imposing upon their representa-
iiFes mandate IN accordance with the popu-
lar feeling, and then the family Of Napoleon
WIN return to their hearths, and again mingle
with The mass Of the people 10 which thew
belong, without creating disturbance or com
mittiHg violence. Tho name. Of Napoleon
shall never become watchword Cor civil dis
cord. He twice quilted France rather than
remain cause for bringing q miaery mon
her. Such are the sentiments bequeathed by
him TO his family, and IL il because the peo-
pie OF France will know that The pretended
desPotnm was but Dictatorship, rendered
necessary by the wars made upon him by his
enemies, that his memory is siill popular
Foreigners may again throw down his statue.
but the men OF France viii again raise II 10 ia
high elevated station. Is "a just-is IN hon.
orable 10 fraocs-that his famiIy should stiIl
DC condemned TO suPplicate protection from
the stranger, and to hear even their enc ME.
reProach their country with TIA injustice Of

you will have the goodness 70 Insert hi. lea.
ter IN your Journal, and accept the assurance.
OF my most distinguished confederation
Your aaeetionate fellow citizen.
