THE NATIONAL REGISTER. inglais,, their present Tyrant, murdered with grape-shot tow of them, near the Church of St. Roch ? or, where was their vaunted energy, when the same murderer of their fellow-citizens, arrested and banished MOREAU ) Nothing is so repugnant and disgustinr , than such gross ignorance : not that we doubt of their detestation of BONAPARTE ; know they detest him ; but we know they have neither courage nor virtue to resist his tyranny ; and that as as he allows them to dance, they will prudently restrain their hatred within the very circumspect bounds of a dull inuendo, or at ntost, of a languid sarcasm. But there are other parts of France from whence re sistance may be expected, and effectual resistance. As soon as the gent d'arrnerie are called off, which, with every respect for the. reat local knowledge of the Editors of The Morning Chronicle, are far from resembling our watchmen, but are, on the contrary, the finest body of men in France—we say, as soon as the gent d'armerie are called off, the departments along the Loire, in ancient Britanny, in the South of ?raiice, but particularly . in Lyons, and the other manufacturing cities, whose principal trade was With Spain, will siiew their dissatisfaction with the present order of things. They detest BONAPARTE ; they have some energy, and are mostly attached to the Bourbons. They have given unequivocal proofs of this attachment about seven years ago, when the Prince of Parma travelled from Paris to Tuscany, to take possession of his new Sovereignty. Wherever he appeared, he was treated with enthusiasm, on account of his relationship to the Bourbons. But it is a mark of the grossest ignorance of the character of the Parisians, to expect any thing great or good from them. If BONAPARTE: falls, he falls a victim to the Senate or his Generals. As soon as they find the situation of France dangerous, they will sacrifice him, but not by means of au insurrection, but by assassination. There is not a Senator, not a General, not one of the privileged ruffians, who are nearest to his heart, and enjoy his confidence most, who do not detest hinr-awn otrawger ; and however they may fawn to him now, they have too frequently felt their self love mortified' by his brutal domineering character, as not to seize, with avidity. an opportunity of sacrificing him, as soon as they can do it with prudence. SPANISH TROOPS IN THE ISLAND OF FUHNEN. Accounts from the Continent, for the last three or four weeks, all coincide in stating, that a considerable part of the Spanish Army lies in the Island of Fuhnen. It would be astonishing, if no measures had been as yet adopted to enlighten them, relative to the late occurrences in their country. An omission of that kind would be highly un pardonable. However, it is not yet too late to take effec tual measures to prevent. at least,their quitting that Island. Though the commanders may be traitors to their coun try, as their nomination was probably recommended by BONAPA RTE, it is, however, reasonable to conclude that the soldiers and the greater part of the officers will he ani mated with the same indignation, which the red of the Spanish Army displayed, when they are acquainted with the perfidious treatment of their Sovereign and family.— Under these circumstances we know no measure more ad viseable, or which is more likely to be attended with suc cess, than if some of the Spanish Noblemen now in Lon don were to fro to the Baltic. They would easily fi nd an opportunity of communicating to them the present situa tion of their country. And we have no doubt from the detestation the Spaniards have always felt for the French, that they would soon follow the glorious example set by the rest of their countrymen. As we see no reasonable round for not drawing this conclusion, measures should he finmediately resorted to in order to rescue them from their present s:taation, and to transport their; to their country. EA . Pri the very 'circumstance of confining them in Fuhnen, is s:rong presumption that Ross PA RTE distrusts them ; am that hr 14 apprehensive of removing them to any part of flat Continent, notwithstanding the danger of leaving JULY them where they arc, from a well-grounded fear, the revolt on their part, may easily spread t o hi s D utch, Ilan, and German auxiliaries. This is th e only satisfa,. reason we can assign for this unaccountable negligeni the wary usurper. These precaution s on his part, iv reduce him to the necessity of leaving so considerable vision unemployed, is a strong proof of the obsetvat in our last N umber, of the little assistance he expects ft • his vassals ; and are more convincing than any one am received as yet from the Continent, of the precarious even desperate state of his anirs. Fuhuen is a small Island, and may he easily Mocks: The capital, which is Odensee, hes in the middle of Island, and contains about 7 or 8,000 inhabitants; it tuated about 7 or 8 miles from the coast of Jutland, and between the two Belts. In case our suggestion relativ , a mission of the Spanish Noblemen, should be adopted, ti would strongly recommend the necessity of sending, at thr same tune, a sufficient number of transports to convoy them to the assistance of their gallant countrymen. it would he highly impolitic to make any overture without this precaution, as the enmity of the Danes, and the mea sures which BERNADOTTE may adopt, would afterw ird. raise insurmountable obstacles. This circumstance :r t•er tainly worthy the earliest attention of Government ; and we hope when they take it into consideration, they will proceed with that promptitude which can alone insure it success. Letters from Gibraltar state, that Sebastiani had posi tively quitted Constantinople, and thai a Russian ambassa dor, when on his way to Naples, had been recalled by his court. They .also mention, that an expedition is fitting out in Maita, to act in the Mediterranean. Government has issued orders for the immediate ship ment of 10,000 barrels of powder, for Spain ; each barrel is to weigh 1001 b. weight. On Wednesday two waggons, loaded with dollars, were taken from the Bank, to proceed to Portsmouth; and be forwarded from thence to Spain.. About six tons of hats, cockades, and shoes, have been sent off from London to Gijou, for the use of the Spanish Patriots. INTERESTING ADVICES FROM THE SPANISH PATRIOTS. -........... The accounts from Spain and Portugal still continue to be of a nature highly satisfactory. The Orestes sloop of war is arriv ed at Plymouth, from the Mediterranean, having received dis patches in her way from our Commanders at Cadiz, and off the coast of Portugal. The following official Bulletins were in consequence issued by Government, on Monday : " Downing-street, July 18. " Advices from Lord Coßingwood, of the 26th of *lune, state. that accounts had been received that Dupont was in great dis tress, surrounded on all sides, and disappointed of expected rein forcements. On the t6th, he retired six leagues behind Cordova; the Spani, army advanced. ° Intelligence had arrived that Du pont had proposed to capitulate, Wallowed to pass into France unmolested; but nothing short of unconditional surrender would .he accepted. Dupont had retired to Andpjas. Castanos's ,out posts were at Aldia de Rio, within two miles of the enemy 'S rear. The whole regular force under Castanos, amounts to 21,300 infantry, 2,500 cavalry, and a formidable train of artil lery." " Downing-Street, duly IS. " Letters have been received at this Office from Major-Gene ral Spencer, off Ayamonte, dated the 25th and 26th of June. The Major-General was on his return to Cadiz, from ofi the southern coast of Portugul, where he left the Portuguese flag flying along the whole extent of coast of the province of Al garva, in all the forts and batteries. "The Spanish frontier on the side of Ayamonte, had remain ed perfectly sileure since the British force had approached that coast, and the detachments of the enemy's force, which on Gene ral Spencer's arrival had retired to Villa Real and Castroma rio . have since surrendered themselves, with the abloTe-meuttit" 4 places, to the Portuguese troops." • • 24... fiat a Ha.
