" The Untlersigned has received deputations from the Pro vinces of the North of Portugal, Hire:illy in arms, swearing to re-est:o)ssh thc!

At Oporto, Viana in Entre Minho e' notiro, and part of Beira, one hu-dred thousand Portuguese have risen in arms; and if their gallant countrymen iu Vie South Uti i!e themselves to then:, they cannot fail overthrowing the stoat haatiful of Frenchmen now occupying the capital : but to van qui,!t, unanimity i 5 requisite ; let them not be intimidated nif-anew, or he corrupted by promises; let them bravely and resolutely determine to rescue themselves from oppression, antl to restore the Covermnent of their lawful Prince. 4.1)f.ril I Junot as even in his last Edict, of the 26th -f .InAe, fabricated the most sanguinary threats again-t the Wm bitaus of Portugal : they are threatened with the destrnetion of the most loyal and populous cities, and thesr inhabitants dtmtnc.l to the point of the sword, by a handful of men, HniOna;lll7. at mo o t to ten thou-and, bear Tag no comparison to mmtlation of P..rtugal. ‘Voe to the criminal oppressors, if t; loyal Portuguese encounter them fearless: the righteous ne,s of their cause must triumph. Noble enthusiasm pervading the ranks can never-be daunted, if all access to seduction be pre cluded. A vigorous resistance conjoined to the energetic efforts now exerting by v • valorous neighbours and friends, the Spaniards, resolutely engaged in the same glorious cause, must have the happiest issue ; as yet there are thousands in Portugal an %bus to emulate the deeds of their forefathers in loyalty and glory. l repeat It to earl, loyal Portuguese, that all the aid of uluch his Britannic Majesty's fleet is capable, shall be given in te:talf of a cause so just, glorious, and honourable, as the revordlion of its lawful Prince, in whose name the Standard am :Id to have been raised in the South, as has been done in the liorta, for all the loyal to repair to.

Felix Herrera, Honorary Commissary of the Spanish Armies, and Spanish Consul at Gibraltar : " ()tithe night of Friday, the Bth inst. he sailed, on public service, from Valencia, for this place. On the 26th and 2itli of last inunta, a French army of 12,000 men, lia-ving wade its ap pearance within a league of Valencia, the plain of Quarte, Cieueral Caro attacked them with a few regulars, but a conside rable number of armed and unarmed inhabitants, whose exer tions, however, could not prevent the enemy reaching Valencia on the 2tith. Upon their arrival they summoned the town to surrender, sending in a flag of truce, which returned with a re fusal. The French then attacked the town by the Quarte bate, La Pichina, and Santa Lucia. There were no regulars in the place. "O. the preceding day, 5000 muskets, and a quantity of powler, hal been received from Carthagena, which greatl., coots ibuted to the glorious issue of the contest. Nine thousand arned inhaiiitants Ai:timed the walls and forts. The deponent served a piece of carillon at St. Austin's Gate. The attack be gan at two in the afternoon, and ended nt eight in the evening, whet) the enemy retreated at Quarte (one leauue from Valencia ), where he remained the whole night. Two thousand five him sired men were found dead. whom the enemy had left round the wall. of the town on the 28th, besides those in the field s . As the citen l y cont i nued his retreat. on the 29th, by the road of 11- e;ra, he was pursued by Gentkal Count de Cerbellun, reinforced by (general Caro, their united armies amounting, to upward, of 14,000 men, chiefly arme d an d unarmed i nha bi tants. At the same time, a number of the latter were posted to the moult:tins oftimellit, with three 8-pounders, so That the French were at tacildboth in front and rear. , In this last action, which Was fought more than Sea leagues fro' Valencia, the Whole of the French army was destroyed, two or three hundred horse ex coined, who effected their emlipe: This account, the deponent heard nn the day ..f hies departure, at man, in the Hall of the Board. of (lovernmect • n here he wns receiving the orders rela tive to his voynge. One of the Members inquired about Moncey, and the Messenger answ••red, that he -had been wounded in the arm ; and that another French General had also received a se t ere wound, which, he thought must have roved mortal. 0118 hundred French prisoners had been brom,ht trout Cilencis to Valencia, nho, together %%hit fifty more taken in the neightmur. hood of the latter town, were a•nt to Carthageon. "The French came by way of Cahriila•, where an action took place, in which they lost SOOO men, including a few who had been killed prevlMl4 to 06—nom ithstanding which they pursued their march. Only a fen Spaniards were killed in the attack upon Valencia; but, in the. preceding :tritons, the loss had been considerable, particularly at 1.a% Cabrillas, where up wards of I'M Swiss, and nearly the w hole of the regiment of t Savoy, perished. All the clergy, and even the winnen, made themselves very useful in the defet.ce of Valencia, the former with muskets and in moving cannon ; the latter, in making car tridges, after providing themselves pith stone. to annoy the French, if they had entered the town." Colman A, JrLV 26.—General Loison passed through Car vallo.; on the 18th, with part of his troops, and three pieces of artillery, having fte.l from the neighbourhood of Leiria, for fear of being cut of by the Spaniards, who have entered Abrams tes. At %tints Franca the French found 150 feluccas which they were carrying to Lisbon. Al 4 no I a, JULY 30.-1 n the middle orthe night, Joseph Bo• naparte set on*, and took the road to France, according to pre parations previotoly made. Some say, this precipitate flight was occasioned by the sur render of Dupont, with a considerable number of prisoners; others think, that it is the result of the discovery of a plot, oft wo French Generals. The truth is, that this morning more 04a 3000 left this capital on the road to France. The fart is certain —the cause dnubful. We hope that tn-morrow there will nut be a Frenchman here. MANZA N A 1., .1u t.s , 31.—We hear that Bessieres is retiring hastily upon Burgos. This is considered as most favourable. Some site it is the ellivt of (lie entrance of our army into Madrid, and of the flight of Joseph Bonaparte ; others, that some re volutionary movements have broken out in France, and that Napoleon has been seized. Others, with more prolmbiliab, consider it as the ettect of the defeat of Dupont mid Nloncey. Con ITN NA, AuG.
