Let us put our confidence in the invincible flrength of the almighty 1 I will lead you to battle ; 1 will ever be the lirlt, and reqnire of you nothing but that of which I will frt you an example. M This harangue, fo fuitable to the occa. fion produced then the fame tilVct as it will produce to day. At the voice of Pelage, all the Afturi ins tjok up arms, each of them performed prodigies of valor : Cmtabiia and Galicii fevtially font dtrputies praying to be admitted into the Ccutederatien of Aufturias ; they were received their means unite J, and the Moors were conquered. Three hundred and thirty, nine years af

terwards, Spain had another defender; this was Uodri-ue Diare de Bivar, a fierce and noble Citliin of the City of Burgos.

This virtuous citizen and gall uit warrior,

burning with defue to feiure the liberty of his country, did not hefitate to rcmonftrite with animation, in a Council whert

the-kin of C tQile himfelf prefixed. He

laid he wa; alhamed f deiioerate upon the pretentions of tU ? emperor Henry II : that the independence of Spain was eftab liflied above tl title 1 that bale Spaniards

alone could admit of its being compro

roifed; that it mould be uphrld even at

the txncnleof life, and that he would de

chre. himfef the enemy of that man ".who could advife the kin,r to tarniih his kit re !

If the Prince of the Peace, iullead of-j

betrayh'fr hi, fovereign and his country, had had' the forefiht, the loyalty or the energy of the two great men we have juA cited, the pretentions of Bonaparte, like thof-ofH-nry would hive been received with iujnation. As the Moors were under Philip. Cj th? French would have ben exp lUd, and Spain would have been fived. What his not hitherto been drtne, m.y yet he atchieved : but for that pur pjf there muft be unanimity among prinlipds, and a reunion, wifely combined of all our forces and of all our niwns. Without this concurrence to retain cur country wi-lfare, without the nvnl relolute courage t? drive from her boloni a cruei and prtfiJious enemy, like an en flay, ed people, v,c flnlllofe our fleet, our artenils; our army will he dillnnded or lnt

To avoid calamities f dreidful, one only refource remains to ns. It is to rally rou-sd th.- thnJard which the provinces ol Gdi'cii nnd Adurias have i lif-d, in deli nee of religion, of jufftce, and of honor.

of July, between the -Spanifli patriots ai d the French army under the command ol

Dupont Sc Gobcrt, in which the latter were completely defeated, and made ptifoners. In audition to this intelligence, we have

feer. letters which ftate that the Spanifh

patriots have 5C0.00C) infantry, Sc 100,000 cavalry in the field ; and that on the 28th of July, a report was circulating in Cadiz, that Ji frph had crctVed the PyreDnes at the head of forrr-tlioufand, ami had advanced to t!ie village of Cajalla in rras.on, where his vanguard had been attxeked by an army of Gallicians, and from tNfclve to 14,000 of Ins army cut off. This report is generally credited. Since putting the above highly important intelligence in type, a gentleman has handed a letter from his correfpundent at Cadiz. Cadis, July 23. ' The paper inclofed contains tha details of the 'capture by the troops of this fingle province, of an entire French army, which confined when it left Madrid of 22,000 men- The capitulation v;sljgr.ed on the 21(1 inft. The ptifoners actu iiy furrendered are faid to he 16.000, and at this time there remains not a fingle Frenchman in Andalufia. In the whole m fs of the provinces the people have difplayed a fpirit of determined opprdition to the French, and fevcral "very bloody battles have been fought, which have uniformly terminated favorable to the Spaniards, particularly at Saragofi and Valcntia. where two very confiderable bodies of French treops, have been totally cut to pieces ; in (hort the Spaniards appear fo unanimous and fo zealous in their determi nation to drive the French out of the

country, that I am it bt without hopes of

their complete fucctfs."
