REPORTED EVACUATION AND BURNING OF AIADIUD. A Cork Paper received yesterday contains the following statement :—"'The Venus cutter, of Bristol, Sit LT Eft, MM. ter, arrived at Bearhavcn on the 11th instant, from Seville. which place she left on the 25th ult. The Master, who ap • pears to be a person of good intelligence, gives a very grati fying ripmentation of Spanisb atillirs. Ile states, that in. formation had reached Seville before his departure, that the French had evacuated Madrid, having first, with their usual atrocity, set fire to that city in different places, which, how ever, was fortunately subdued before it had been prOductive of mischief to any serious extent. It was understood at Se vilk, that this movement resulted from an order issued by BEONAPARTE. that 40,000 French troops should proceed from Spain, as it was conjectured for the North of Europe. The mandate of NAPOLEON had produced a convention of the French Generals at Madrid, in which the ahandonintnt of Nladi id was adopted—and it was believed at Seville that the evacuation of :'pain was finally contemplated by the French army in that kingdom. If wh:a the • Master of the Venus communicates of the French having withdrawn from Madrid, and BUONAPAP.TE having' demanded 40,000 men to augment his army in the North be authentic, and he men tions his authority to be not less creditable than the British Consul nt Serille—ice can very readily believe the supposi tious part of his intelligence, as to their intention of retiring altogr tbcr from Spain." We have only to • remark on this intelligence, that it ap pears rather strange that the Venus cutter should have sailed from Seville, which is an inland city with a river not navi gable, at that distance from the sea, for vessels of any bur then. From Lisbon we have accounts of so late a date as the Bth inst. and we have dispatches from Marquis of WEL* LINGToN of the 2701 Ilk His Lordship had board that JOSEPH BUONA PAR r r. had hishead-quartets at Madrid, but he does not state the time, and that " the three armies of Por tugal, the centre and south were united in Castille." The Lisbon Papers, though so many days later than Lord WEL LINGTON'S dispatch, do not appear to have later accounts from Madrid than the 15th and 16th. They state in one article, that on the 14th many persons and convoys had kit Madrid; in 'another. that SoULT had been ordered to Prance; and in a third, the latest fr,r:n Lisbon, that Jo- SEPII had left Madrid.—We therefore are inclined to think that this report is one'of those which are unfounded in fact. ; i REroia--, or, PEACE. A Morning Paper of yesterday says, IVe have got a *slight intimation (though the subject to which it refets is impor tant), that BUON AP A RTE is not leaving the art of negocia tion wholly untried in this hi , critical situation.
