May (forwarded you via Tangiers) was read throughout this ⟨King⟩dom the whole nation rise proclaiming the Prince of Asturias for their King; it ⟨is calc⟩ulated that at this moment there is under Arms near three hundred thousand Mens⟨. A Su⟩preme Court has been established at Sevilla, whose authority the most part of the ⟨Prov⟩inces has already acknowledged. A number of the Captain Generals have been ⟨   ⟩ by the Mob as traitors and others have escaped.

On the 2d. instant an Armistice was Signed with the Blockading Squadron and ⟨the⟩ Ports are free.

The British are ⟨supp⟩lying plenty of arms. Five thousand British troops have landed at Ayamonte ⟨to co⟩opperate with the Spaniards in case any French Troops should come that ⟨way⟩ from Portugal. The French fleet composed of Five Ships and a Frigate have ⟨surr⟩ender’d after loosing a great deal of the Crew. I will continue (as opportunitys offer) sending you all the Documents that may be published respecting the ⟨actu⟩al State of things.

None of the orders from the Grand Duke or Council of Castille are obeyed. With Sentiments of high Consideration I have the honor to be with profound Respect Your most obedt. hble Ser⟨   ⟩
