The President frigate, we r'derstand, was in readiness for sea, and had dropped fre« Newport to a more con ve venient nient venient anchorage, near the t 0 herself ot the first favourable opportunity •< escape. The schooner Fame.ot ‘his Port, which was captured some time ago by tltto Saratoga privateer, has been lost in a gale near Loig Island, America ; but her cargo, ■which consisted of wine," rice, pork, butler, &c. had been safely landed. By recent amounts from the Spanish Main, it is learnt that the utmost confusion and disorder arc prevalent throughout those Provinces, and that the Republican sys system tem system may, for the present, be considered as established. Puerto Cavello, however, was in possession of the old Government so late as the Bth Nov. last, and two armed vessels belonging to that Port (La Solosa and Egela, of 18 guns) were employed in the blockade of La Guira, | which they so strictly enforced, that even vessels under J Britreh colours were fired at; and very lately, the brig I of Glasgow, and schooner Alary, of Liverpool, I originally bound to La Guira, but on arriving at Trani. | dad, were not permitted to proceed thither, yet allowed . to depart for Puerto Cavello, had, upon reaching the iat. ter place, been seized, their cargoes landed and left expos exposed ed exposed to the spoliation of a mob, and the crews placed under confinement, upon the pretext that they had been cleared out from Great Britain for a port at that time in rebellion against the Spanish Monarchy. Some remonstrances hav having ing having since been made, not only respecting the seizure of these vessels, but of the ill-treatment of their crews, we are informed that the Captain and seamen are restored to liberty :—the case of the vessels and cargoes had not been decided. A Spanish frigate was lying at Puerto Cavello on the Sth ult. ; and in attempting to leave that anchorage to towards wards towards night, was fired upon by the batteries, by com command mand command of the Governor, upon the plea that he had not been made acquainted with her intended departure. Being out of the reach of their guns, the man oi war pursued her course for the Mother Country. LORD WELLINGTON to DON J. O’DONOJU, SPANISH MINISTER AT WAR. Head-quarters, Huarte, July*!, 1813. Mott Excellent Sir, — 1 had the honor to receive your Excellency’s letter, dated the 15th ult. acquainting me that the Regency had thought proper to remove the Cap Captain-General tain-General Captain-General Casianos from the command of the Itn ar army, my, army, in order that he may occupy the place of Counci Councilor lor Councilor of Slate, because he was not at the head of the 4(h army which the Regency had entruskd to han; that Ge General neral General Freirehad been appointed Captain-Gun. of Es»re Es»remadura madura Es»remadura and Castile, and was to command the 4th armj ; that Gen. Lacy was appointed Captain. Gen. oi Gallicia, and to the command of the troops of that province, in. * dependently of the General of the 4th army : and Gene General ral General Giron was to transfer his service to the Ist army — A* the Constitution of the Spanish Monarchy has dccla. • red the Ministers responsible for acts which are the meas measures ures measures of Government, 1 trust I may venture to address some observations to your Excellency on this subject.— Justice towards the character of Gen. Castanos, an offi. cer who has served his country in close union with me, during the last three years, without there having been a single difference of opinion between us in any matter of importance, compels me to remind your Excellency, that the local situation of the 4th army, prior to ’the opening of the campaign, prevented its being formed into a corps at the head ol which the Captain-General could be placed with any regard to propriety, considering the dignity of the office. And even when the union of the 4th army would have been locally practicable, the deplorable state of the Royal Treasury, and of the resources applicable to its subsistence, would have prevented that corps from remaining united for any great length of time.—Your Ex Excellency cellency Excellency well knows, that when money is wanting for the maintenance of troops, it is possible, that io a particular district of country, provision may be made for the sub subsistence sistence subsistence of a small number without any pay; but that is impracticable in regard to a large corps of troops; and fcr this reason, and others relative to the state of disci discipline pline discipline and peculiar organization of some corps, 1 did not deem it proper that more troops of the 4th army should be assembled in one corps, than the two divisions compo compo*‘."B *‘."B compo*‘."B the army of Gallicia, under the command of General Giron.—lt would have been unbecoming and improper, considering the rank and situation of Gen. Castanos, be besides sides besides being inconvenient, to place these two divisions, or an y other portion of the 4th army; and for this reason, a ‘ ®y request, he placed his head.quarters with mine and •hose of the Portuguese army.—Not onljrhas your Excel. Ji iz‘y not attended to these circumstances, in the measure t) | Inch you have recommended to the Government, in re- I gard to Gen. Castanos, but various other considerations have been overlooked—Gen. Castanos, besides command- I ing the 4th army, was Capt. General of Estremadura, Castile, and Gallicia, and in that capacity had to perform duties of the greatest importance to the public interest, and particularly to the well-being of the army.-—lt was one of his duties to re-establish the Spanish authorities in the different districts and cities which the enemy was suc- evacuating; and considering the nature of the operations of the army, and the peculiar line of march which it pursued,’ it would hate been impossible for him tod? harge that obligation, had he been literally at the hcad'wf the 4th army, or with the head-quarters, which, from the period of the 24th May, were almost every day changing place, without ever entering the high road, or any one capital city, excepting Salamanca, when Gen. Castanos left them.—lt was myself, not Gen. Castanos, who suggested the ideaUhat his Excellency should be em employed ployed employed in this manner; and it is necessary for me to say, that considering the manner in which General Giron has commanded in the field the divisions of the army of Galli Gallicia, cia, Gallicia, we should have neglected the welfare of the State, had we not traced out to Gen. Castanos the very line of con conduct duct conduct which he has followed, and for which he now finds himself persecuted and defamed.—With regard on the ar arrangements rangements arrangements made by your Excellency for the purpose of filling the different .offices held by Gen. Castanos, and the removal of Gen. Giron (without any complaint alledged, and even without assigning any motive whatever) from the post in which he was placed by Geh. Castanos at my re request* quest* request* and in which he has conducted himself to my entire satisfaction, as I have communicated to the Government, I believe that, besides the inconveniences and mischiefs which result to the service from this kind of change, es especially pecially especially during military operations, it cannot be denied that they are in direct breach of the contract made with the last Regency, and confirmed by the present ; an agree, meat which, as your Excellency knows, was that which induced me to take the command of the Spanish army.— Y our Excellency also knows, that this is not the first mst. in which that contract, formed with so much solemnity, and after such mature deliberation, has been violated ; and no one can be more fully aware than your elf, of the in inconveniences conveniences inconveniences which thence result to the good of the service. Your Excellency is equally well acquainted with my na natural tural natural disposition, aud my wishes to coniinue to serve the Spanish nation, as far as my abilities extend: but for forbearance bearance forbearance and submission to injuries so great have their limits; and I avow that 1 have been treated by the Spanish Government, in these matters, in a manner the most im improper, proper, improper, even simply as an individual.—lt docs not belong to my character, nor ain I inclined, to boast of my ser services vices services to the Spanish Nation ; but I cad at least publicly deciare, that 1 have never abused the powers with which the Cortes and the Government have entrusted me, even in the most trivial affairs, nor ever employed them towards any other object-than that of promoting the good of the service. In confirn.ation of this truth, 1 appeal even to your Excellency as a witness; and 1 believe it will be ad admitted, mitted, admitted, that the circumstances which rendered necessary the formation of the contract above-mentioned, equally require its fulfilment, if it is desired that 1 should be able to retain the command of the army. May God preserve your Excellency many years. (Signed) Wellington. Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo.
