TRH NATIONAL REGISTER. amounted only to 6000. In the same style of impudent.. exaggeration it is said, that this very Duke of ISTRIA set oil ou the 6th for Guadalaxara, and scoured the whole road from Saragossa and Valencia. All this took place in the course of two days; though the former is 200 miles to the N, K. of Madrid, and the latter, 140 miles east of that city. The 18111 Bulletin, dated Dec. 14th, two days after the former, had been published, does out advert to a single military occurrence; but amuses the reader with the most envenomed abuse of two members of the Supreme Junta, and with commiseration for the state of dependence the ma jority of that respectable Body was kept by these obuoxious members, and by the populace. Those two illustrious Pa triots, who have so much irritated the spleen, and pro voked the scurrilous abuse of BONAPARTE, were deputed by the Juntas of Seville and Saragossa, or Arragon, as representatives to the Supreme or central Junta. The very circumstance of their having been chosen by the Juntas of two provinces, which have displayed such zeal and enthusiasm in the cause, is a presumPtive proof that they arc men of no common character, and entitle them to the honour of being cordially hated by the detestable tyrant. For the future we will set down those two mem bers, as persons from whose services and patriotism their country has to expect the greatest benefits. This Bulletin captains helidesa trifling misrepresentation, or rather lie, whets the writer says—" As soon as it was known that the Emezaost was at Burgos, and that he would soon be at Madrid, they (the. 4uata) published a declaration of war against France, full of Ally and the most insulting lan guage." The fellow had not the courage to speak the . truth 1 The Junta published no declaration of war; fur !hat was long before declared; but they bound themselves by the most soleroo oath never to listen to any overtures.of peace, which did not establish as principle, the restitution of their beloved FERDINAND, aed the integrity of the Spanish empire. This was too sublime a proof of devotion to their country, and evinced too marked a determination to resist his usurpation, to be made known to his good city of Paris. Though the tyrant is not insulted by the display of such virtues on the part of his loving subjects, he feels, nevertheless, some reluctance to re mind them, how sunk, how lost they are. Ile has been likewise guilty of a degree of inconsistency and imprudence we should not have expected from the wary ruffian. In venting his rancour agaiust Count TILLY he has the audacity to use the word jacohin ; forgetting that the very name must remind the Parisians of the bloody and ferocious part he acted in 17 . 94, when he headed the jacobins against the sections. He seemed also to forget that his brother Lucia"' was a most violent Jacobin ; and that a petty inn keeper refused him his daughter, with a portion of 80/. on that very account; and the imperial diadem must have weakened his memory very much, or the son of a petty fogging Corsican attorney would not have-the effrontery to reproach LORENZO C&Lvo with being a grocer •f Sa ragossa. The Bulletin concludes with some sportive illusions to the cowardice of our soldiers, who are re presented to have run away at the approach of the French, and to have mounted their wooden horses, (their ships, we suppose.) What mind the savage fellow must have, when, in the midst of the carnage and horror that snrrcuud him, be feels.an iacpuation to indulge in the grossest witticisms! The Nineteenth Bulletin begins with the surrender of Bolas ; and la as replete as the former with inrectioes against the Supreme Junta, with this difference, thak attacked en masse; whereas in the former only CAM) ) and Count MA I' are exposed to his /mind , "That Assembly is already become an object o' with all Europe." If that be the sensation this body excite in Europe, we are convinced at least no objects of his contempt, but of his fear and FLORIDA BLANCA is Stated to have been a re Spain : he is now ashamed of the dikhonour he h. upon his old age. The inconsistent villain I A few he represented this venerable Statesman as sold to and now he describes him to .have been a rea Spain. These Bulletins are excellent records of and frenzy which torture and distract his disa feelings. However, there is a meaning in his made he will not trouble himself much . about the inconsi his conduct,. if he can only excite some suspicion that illustrious Patriot. He finishes this Bulletin observations on the fineness of the weather, and to avail himself of it, by remaining in the ca league from Madrid. He seems to feel little inch confide his august person to the care of its inhabii Besides the Bulletins, there are some addition ments. In one of these he grants a general pard the exception of the Duke del INFANTADO, CEVA' a few others; whose houses he ordered in the meo be gutted. The members of the Council of Castile tcribecl as cowards, and unworthy of being the magistrates of a great nation. Feudal rights and the Inquisition are abolished ; and he reduces the convents to one-third of their present number. Apprehensive, however, that his projected reform might have no effect in conquering the de• testation of the natives, he concludes with the fulminating maces---" If all my efforts , ba useless, awl! Grey .do not " merit my confidence, it will only remain for me to treat 4' you as conquered provinces, and to piaci*• my brother ox 44 another throne. I will then put the Crown of Spain on. my own head, and I will cause it to be respected by the " wicked, for God has given me strength 'and resolution " to surmount all obstacles.'t " Given in oiir peperial Camp at Madrid, Dec.

The intelligence they contain is very interesting.

Castanos was in the neighbourhood of Madrid t and General Pena had advanced to the Capital, with a con siderable corps of Infantry and Cavalry ; of the surrender of which the Central Junta had received no advice they, thought, on the contrary, after having made the most diligent inquiry, tlAt it still resisted the entrcmce of the enemy, The Junta of Gallicia had received advice, dated Trust• illo, the Bth Dec. from their Deputy of the Central.
