STATE IAPER.-72ECLARATION Or WAR. MADRID, DEC. 1,1...—The moll Excellent Signior Don Pcnao CEVALLOS, Firft Secrcta: v of State and of Difpatches, has communicated the Royal orders to all the Councils, of the dare or the day before yef tcrday, of which the literal tenor is a', f UlieW S : " The Peace which Europe beheld with fo much delight, resetablifhed at Amiens, has, unfortunately for the welfare of nations, proved but of thort dura tion. The rejoiciogs with which this happy event was celebrated upon all were fcarcely conclud ed, when the public b:gan to be troubled, and the advantages of the Peace to difappear. The Cabinets of London and Paris held Europe fufpend ed, and agitated between its terrors and its hopes, feeing (he event of the negotiations every day become more uncertain, until the moment that difcord ar rived at fuch an irei:;h! . , as to kindle between them the fire of war, which mud naturally extend itfclf to ether powers ; fence it was very difficult for Spain Holland, who had treated jointly with France at Ami'ns, and whole interells and political relations are ih reciprocally contretted, to avid finally taking part t, c 4rievances and offences offered to their Ally. In thefe circumdances, his Majdly, fapported by the mod folid principles of a wife policy, prefer• red pecuniary fublidiei to the enntiagent of troops and Chips with which he was bound to ala France, vir:ue of the Treaty of Alliance in 1795 : and as wen by means of his Minider is London, as of the En,.lith Agents at Madrid, he g Ire the Brit:fh Go vernment to under dant in the mall politive manner, bs decided and firm refolution to remain neutral dt:ring the war ; inlkin..; no doubt that he flionld o .ickly have the fatisfrainn of teeing that thefe loge :In-vas affuranczs were well received by the Court of London. 4 6 Neverthelefs, that Cabinet, which moil have re lived in filence before-hand, far its own particular upon the renovation of the war with Spain, and which it was always able to declare, not with the forms and prefcrihed by the Law of Na tions, but by means of poiitive aggrcflions, which Ihould turn to its own profit, fought the mat ftivo lotts pretext to iuing into doubt t!le cothlat of Spain, which wai truly neutral, and to s , ;ivc dzmonaratinus, at the fame time, to the detires of his Britannic Ma- jelly, to preferve the peace, all with the intention of gaining time, cajoling the Spaiar Government, and holding in uncertainty the opinion er the Englifh na tion upon it; own premeditated and unjuft deigns, which cud m 11.1 manner be approved by it. Thus it is, tha:. in London it appeared artfully to accept various reclamations from Spann individuals, which were addreffed to ir; while its agents in Madrid mag nified the pacific intentions of their own Sovereign : But they never (hewed themfelves fatisfied with the frankncfs and ft iendlhip, with which 411 their macs were anfwered, rather anxious for proclaiming and magnifying arm iinents, which had no exitience, and rrctending, contrary to the moll potitive proteas on the pate of Srain, the pecuniary fuccours given to France were not merely an equivalent for the troops and fliips,whi:h were Qipulated in the Treaty of 170, but an indefinite and imrntatfe floclt, which did not permit them to confider Spain in any other light than as a principal party in the war. Moreover, as there was not time entirely to ba null) the illufion under which they laboured, they ex alted, as the precife conditions upon which they would confider Spain as neutral, the ceffation of every armament in her ports, and a prohibition of the file of prizes brought into them. And, notwith (landing that both of there conditions, although urged in a tone faperlatively haughty and unufual in political tranCretion., were immediately complied with, and reiigioufly obferved, they perfilled, ne verthelefa, to manifell their want of confidence, and, they quitted Madrid with eagernels, immediately after receiving difpatches from their Court, of which they did not communicate a particle of the contents. a The contrail which refults from all this between the condo t of the Cabinets of London and Madrid, mull be fufficient to (hew clearly to all Europe, the bad faith, and the fecret and perverfe aims of the Englifh miniftry—even if they had not manifeaed them by the abominable crime of the fur?rife, bat tle, and capture of the four Spanifh frigates, which, navigating in the full fecurity, which peace infpires, were fraudulently attacked in confliquence of orders from the Englifh Government, figned in the very moment, in which it was faithlefsfy 'exalting condi tions for the prolongation of the peace, in which every poMle fecurity was given to it, and in which its own veffels were provided with provifions and re frefhments in the ports of Spain. " Thole very veffels, which were enjoying the moil pedal hofpitailty, and were experiencing the fide lity, with which Spain was proving to England the good faith of her engagements, and how firm her re foliations were to maintain her neutrality—thofe very (hips carried, concealed in the bofom of their com manders, the unjua orders of the Englifh Cabinet for affaulting Spanifh property on the feas—iniqui tous orders, and profufely circulated, (ince all its veffels of war on the leas of America and Europe, were already detaining and carryirg into its harbours as many Spanifh veffels as they met with, without refpelling even the cargoes of grain, which were coming from all parts to fuccour a faithful nation, in a year of the greatea calamity. a Barbarous orders, fince they deferve no other name, to fink every Spann (rip under an hundred tons—to burn thofe which they found on Gore on the coall—and to make prize of, and carry into Malta thole only, which exceeded an hundred tons. The Mailer of a vciT:l, of Valentia, of 54 ton, has made ' this declaration, that he efLeied his &ape in his launch upon the tfith of Nova ather, onthe cordioiCa talonia, when his veal was funk by an Englifh Vella whole Captain took from him his papers and his fiag: ' and informed him that he had receind theft eaprefs inarultions from his Court. In fpite of fueh atrocious allions, which proved to puled evidence the covetous and holtile views, which the En ;kith Cabinet had meditated, it was (till able to carry on further its perfidiaus fyftem of blinding the public opinion, allceiging, for this put pole, that the Spanifir frigates had not been carried into the Englifh ports in quality of prizes, brit as being detained until Spain fhould give the &fired fe curities, that (he would obterve the Iltiaeft neu trality. " And what greater fecurities could or ought Spain to give ? What civilized nation, until this hour, has made tire of means fo unjuß and violent, to exalt fecnrities of anothcr Although England fhould find at latl, any claim to waft front Spain, in what man ner could the jut% it, after a Gmilar atrocity ? What fatisfaetion could the be able io give for the lainen table deftruetion of the frigate Met cedes, with all its cargo, its equipage, and the great number of diflin- gnilhed pairengers who have pet iflied, the innocent viaims of a policy Co &tellable ? " Spain would not clmply with what the owes to hcrfelf, nor think herfclf able to uj tintain her well known honour and dignity among(t the greaten . Powers of Europe, were (he any longer to thew her- Pelf infenfible to fuch manifea outrages, and did not take care to revenge them with that nobleman and energy, which belong to her charaSer. ss Animated with theft fcitimentz, the missal- mous breaft of the King, after having erhaufted (in order to preferve the_ peace) all the refonrces cntn patible with the dignity of his Crown, Ends himfelf in the hard prediearrt.nt of making war upon the King of Engiaml, ti;•rin his fuLjefls and peop:z, omitting the formalities of flileby a folemn declzrat ion and publication, 07...-irg to the Engin C thinct's hav ing begnn and cent:nu:l to make tl, war without declaring it. " In confec a nence, after having sf.vcn orders for an embargo, by way of reprifai, upon all Englilh property in his dominions, and that the rnoft conve nient inftruelions, both fur his own defence, and the offence of the enemy,fhould he circulated to his Vic& roys, Captains General, and great Or.:cers of the Ma rine, his Majefty has commanded his Miniller in Lon don to retire, with ail the Spanith Legation ; and his Majefty does no'. douhr that all his fithjeets, inflamed with that juft indignation, with which the vi 'lent pro ceedings of England met infpire them, will not omit any of all theft means, to which their valour (hall prompt them, of co-operating with Lis lvlajefty towards the molt complete vengeance For the tank offered to the Spanith flag. For this purpoie he in vites them to arm cot fairs againft Gt eat Bt itain, and to poffefs themfelves with relo!ntion of her flops and property by every poffible means ; his Majefty pro miring them the greateft pomp:knee and celefity in the adjudication of prizes, upon the foie proof of their being Engliat property ; and his Majefty ex prefsly renouncing, in fivco of the captors, what ever part of the value of the prizes he had, upon other occafiom, referved to hinifelf, fo that they (hall enjoy them, in their full value, without the fmalleft difcount. " And finally his Majefty hac rfolvecl, that what is contained in the premifet et,.11 be inferted in the public papers, that it may came to the knowledge of all ; and alfo, that it ciAli be tranfmitted to the Ambaff.tdors and Miniflers of tht King, in Foreign Courts, in order that all the Powers fliall be in formed of thefe alts, and take :ntereil in a caufe fo juft ; hoping that DIVINE PROVI7:ENCE will blefs the Spanith arms, fo that they may obtain a jnft and convenient fatisfanion for the injuries they have received." Advises have been received front Spain by fome of the firit Spanith Houfes in the City, regnelling them not to fend goods from England inAmerican bottoms, as a war between America and Spain was greatly to be apprehended, fome frelh obitacles having arifen between the two countries, in the adjuftment of the differences refpeeting New Orleans. The late(' letters irons C•uliz are dated the t ith ult. at which period, as a proof th;.t the merchants in that city had (till hopes of an accommodation with this country, feveral bills of loading of dollars and other property o. board the three frigates taken off Cape St. Mary's were font to the merchants here to claim on behalf of their friends in Spain. MIA property, neverthelefs, was fequeflered in Cadiz, and all :he other towns in Spain, and Britilh fubjeas were daily made priforrers and their papers fealed, by order of the Spanith Government. The frith Merchants in' Cadiz, Malaga, &c. were exempt from this proceeding. Two Gentlemen fors Bir minghati were feized in Cadiz on the 7th ult. and fent to prifon. The apprehenfinta of war had arta: an additional terror into the Spaniards, from the appearance of famine. Our unfortunate enemies make (Irons ap peals to the humanity of the Britith Government,that in the event of the calamity of war, (Lips laden with grain arid flour may not be prevented from entering into the different Spann ports. Wheat continued to advance rapidly in print, and flour, which a few months before was fold at nine hard dollars per LAl rel, had rifer on the t ttit ult. to 20. • A letter from Barcelona, of a late date, contains the following ambiguous imcillgence :—" We are vifitc4 wiih war, famine, and pylence, hut we 'cave reafon to dread a Rill greater caiarnity." Vv'har the writer can allude to, we are at a lofs . to conje6lute, except it be intefline war, e,r the abfolute fubjtig:t. tion of the country by France. The Engin cruizers were mal:ing fad havock among the Spanifh trading veffels on every part of the coati from Cadiz to Seville, reare:ly a fhip efcap ing their vigilance. The inftiranee on Spanifh vef fels of this dcfcription was enormoufly high, coiling the merchants at leaft 3o per cent. All the Newfoundland fhips dellined for Oporto and Lifbon are arrived fafe. • When the letters of the S:h of December came away from Malaga, they were in hourly expeaation of orders arriving for the opening of that port. The place had been for fume time previous declared in a good (late of health, as appears from the following • official report : " Blow Li/ALL Taux: eta y !viot:NA, Colonel in the Royal Armies, the King's Lieutenant, Military Governor, and Prefi daat of the Royal Board of Health of this city, and the port therm of, &e. • • " I by there prefents make known, that this Board of Health, at which I prillde, having afcertained that this city is reftored to the good Rate of health It before enjoyed, without there having been for fame days bit pat any perfuns affected by the epidemic malady, as k has been allured under their fignature by all of the 'faculty of phyacians and furgeons ; in virtue thereof, and in punc tual compliance with the orders which it has received front the Su preme Board of the Kingdom, communicated by medium of its worthy Prefident, his Excellency the Count of Mortarco,Gover oot of the Royal Council of Caltilir, Oath, on the day of ytitor• day, dcferrnired :n rcntmt:rierte this plesfabt ttr.d to the lumunrable inhabitants of this city, infuziair,; them, alt i., the aitemoon of to-morrow the gem:Al procalen wit! taLe place, in which will t•: carried thy for, ccio imazee of our l'i.tronifi, the molt Holy Mary di. 14 Vidor:a, st.d the molt Holy C..ri!t of lit..ith, to the Holy Cathedral Church, is which,ou the followii:g day, will he lung the Ti Drum, to give to and his inoft Holy Mother, :he thanta due for the Gnu:3r !.enef,t which we have received trona his divine hand; but this cattle any alteration i.e preventing COIIIIIIU111 , 71tIN;, as hath been commanded by feta :Ind land. until it be othcrwife or dered.

" A difpatch boat arrived tlis morning from Lord NELSON'S fleet, in nine days, but brings nothing new ; the fleet were then all well off Toulon. " The fever fill appears to be as malignant and contagious as ever in the town, of which every day furni!hes fatal proofs of all who are rant enough to venture into it from the Somh. A few days ago four Officers of the Royal Artillery, who had efcaped the difeafe in camp, were moved into town, they were all immediately attacked, and by this morning three of them are dead, viz. Captain Rat.vir LIDGERTOW, Lieutenants HENRY ELLISORP, and Jamas Wrour the fourth, Lieutenant Wsr.t.s, is recovering. Mrs. HUGHES, wife of the Rcv. Mr. Huouss, alfo died this morning of the fever.

If any print attempts to allert, that the fever has abated, either in its malignity or contagion, centre diet it in the mofl pofitive terms. The deaths have nearly ceafed in town amongli the inhabitants, be cacfe at leaf 99 in too have had the difeafc. Not one houfe has efcaped, and you feel the fmet.l of conta gion the inaant you enter the walls of the town. " The mutt extraordinary pains feem to have been taken to deceive the public ref - peeling the real fitua tion of this place. One paper afferts, that on the 4th of Oaober the deaths had, decreafed to zo, when they , aCtually amounted on that day to 175, that being the day of our grcatelt mortality. If yuu want to have a correa idea of the nature of our difeafe, read Dr. CME7HM.M's Eflay on the Malignant Pestilential fever of the Weft Indies, which is exeily our difzafc, fo correCt in every particular that you would fuppofe he had written from what he had Peen here. " NOVEMBER Z 2, 7804.. The principal deaths of the fever yeflerday were, DoOor BIRD, Phyfician to the Naval licfpital here; Mr. KUHN, an American Merchant, and Mr. DICKSON, a refpeCtable Englifh Merchant, who came out with the hit convoy, and who had remained on fhip board in the bay till the deaths had chnoft ceafed in town; when, conceivingthe contagion had alfo abated, he imprudently came on fhore, immediately caught tie fever, and died this morning:of a relapfe, after being nearly recovered. " It appears that this horrible peftilence is fpread ing itfelf is every ciireCtion ! it has (hewn itfelf in Ga licia.and on the frontiers of Portugal, and there is alfo reafon to believe it has broke out in Barbary, nor can this be wondered at, when it is a notorious fact, that uptvards of fixty veffels, molt of them Crowded with paffengers, left this place for cid,: ent parts of the world at a time when tome hund. - eds were ill of the difcafe, and the inhabitants were flying in terror in every direction. Many of there veffels wet e admitted into different ports, but others returned .here after being denied fhelrer every where, with the difeafe raging on board which had broken out at fea. " Several of theft veals ittap poflibly have failed for England, as Tome of them continued lying in the Bay till the ; ith of October, when the Malta. convoy, for England, palled, with which they failed. This was at the very height of the 'difeafe, as tht deaths had on the 3d of Oaober exceeded 150 daily, yet thefe veffels were all that time permitted to retain their clean bills of health, and to take fuch paffen gas on board as they elide. One Jew paid 7001. for , the paffage of himfell and family to cfcapc from coa
