Hoist a white flag before two o'clock, and send Commissioners to treat fur ;he !urrender of the town.--Accept, Monsieur General, &c. Major-General M e t:i t 1411111 J En. FIFTEENTH BuLtaym OF Tilt: ARMY OF SPAIN. Madrid, Dee. Pt. Ins Majesty has named the General of Artillery, Sonarmont, 11 General of Division. The Major Legur leis been named Actin- I; tant Commandant. The life of this Officer had been de :paired 1 of, but he is now out of danger. The Count Krazinski, Colonel 1 of the Polish Light Horse, thoogli ill, has alwa)s wished to I charge at the head of his eorps. The Sieurs Itabeeki and NV ol - 1 gurski, QuartersNlasters, and Sarzevski, a soldier of the Polish Light Horse, who have. taken standards from the enemy, hat been named Members of the Legion of Honour. His Mej e M f has moreover granted to the Polish Light Horse eight dt.•e•erat jons for the Officers, and 4; untey for Atte soldiers. The Chief of Squadron, Lubiensici, recon n oitred ea ate, second, the remain, of the army of Castangs, near Guailalaxara. They were under the command of General Pena. Castanos was said to have tbeen de posed by the Geecral Junta, The Duke of. Itifantado has been one of the principal causes of the misfortunes his "country has suffered he w4s the principal instrument in EOgland, in its lanieutahle progress against Spain; it was he who was employed by that country to cause dissensions hetween the fattier and the son—to overturq the throne of Charles, whose attachment to France was known-to excite outrages against the first Minister or that Sovereign—to elevate to the Supreme Power that young Priuce, who, by his marriage with a Princess of the ancient Jlouse of Naples, had drank that hatred against the French, from which that Boise had never departed. It was the Duke of Infanta° who played the principal part in the coespiracy of the Escurial, and it was to him that the power of Generalissimo of the Armies of Spain was confided:at that time. lie was after wards been taking the oath ofallegiauce at Bayonne between the bands of King Joseph, as Colonel of the Spanish Guards. On his retorts to Madrid, we saw him throw qff the masque,. and chew himself °peaky the man of the English. I t was 4)110 house that the Ministers of England were lodged; it was lift his society that the agents accredited and secret of that Poster lived. After having exhorted his fellow-citizens to a mad resistance, he was seen, with a cowardice equal to his treason, kin? . flan Madrid to Guadalaxara, under the pretext of goi n g to b ring reinforce ments, withdrawing himself by this stratagem from the dangers iuto which he had drawn his fellowscitiaeuss, and shewiug no anxiety except for the English Agent, whom be carried off in his own carriage, and whom he served for an escort, And what will he gain by this conduct? Ile will lose his titles, hisproperty valued at 2,000,00 Q of livres a year, and he will go to London, to seek the contempt, the disdain, and ingratitude with which Lug laud has always rewarded the men who sacrifice their humour and their country to the itdustice of her cause. Every day contributes to dissipate the remains of the stupor into which the inhabitants of Madrid had fhltrn. '1 bust who had concealed their moveables and precious e*cts, are !triaging them back to their houses, Their shops are furnished as in or dinary times. The barricades, and all the other preparations of defence, have disappeared. The taking possession of Madrid has been executed without disorder, and tranquillity nips in all parts of that town. A foileer of the Guard having been Cultic' with a number of watches upon hint, and being convicted or having stolen them, has been shot in the principal place of Madrid. We have found in that city 200,000 ponuds weight of powder; 10,000 balls ; 2.000,000 pouted weight of lead ; 10 D pieces of field artillery ; c..nd MAO muskets, mostly English. The disarming, continues without any difficulty, all the inhabi tants enuform to it with the greatest willingness ; they return with eagerness and good faith to the royal authority which rescues them from the mischievous influence of England, from the violence of factions * and the disorders of popular move meats. The King of Spain has created a regiment which hears the name of the " Royal Foreigners," into which are admitted the deserters and the Germans who were in the service of Spain. lie has also fanned a Swiss regiment, called that of Reding the T onager, that Officer haviag coadneted himself like a real Swim Patriot, and ia a mapper very different from General Reding. The one has deserved well from his countrymen, and viill every where obtain esteem; the other, gene r a ll y despised, will go to the taverns of London to enjoy a pension of some hoadreds of run& S tetling, badly earned, and plid wktb digtaiP. d ie 11!" - - emigrate from the.
