U - •-~--zr SPANISH - PAPERS. [ARRIVED THIS DIY• MADMD, Nov. 30--A Decree passed the Conn. cil of Stste and the Tribunal, in which, after speaking of the beneficence of the new Govern. orient, it is said, that as it is not possible to pay in coin, a paper will be issued destined for the put.- . cliace of the national property. This D.tcrce has not yet been published, but it has t,:ceivud the ne cessary signatures. They write from Valladolid, that in consequence 1 f an order from Napoleon, received by General Kell , rmen, he has collected and sealed up all the papers of his Staff, and that the Chief of that Staff, and an Aid-de.Camp, had set cut hastily fur Paris; act! that Liellerrrian was to follow them. It is strongly reported that peace has been con. eluded between Russia and Turkey. AYANViNTE, Nov. 10.—The oppressions which the inhabitants of Seville suffer, increases every day; although they have not finished paying the three millions levied a month ago, it is now endeavoured to exact a monthly one of 1,800,000 rials, for which purpose a list of all the persons of the city has been formed; and it is intended to draw from it the extraordinary sum of a dollar fur the waster of every house, and half a out: for each servant. The French talk of selling all the Pictures ; and say, that one with 4nyther, they'vvill bring 100 reals each. They hive sold, by public auction, the frees cut down in the orchard of the Convent of Enca. ruali on, 'those area is destined to form a svare. The Convent of • St. Fancism, which served as quarters fur the French, got on tire in vari..tis parts on the thirty.first ult, and continued burning on the 2d inst. The French preseiitod the people front attempting to extin i yiista the 4.ents. On the night of the 30th ult. Marshal Mortier suddenly demanded 24,000 rations, In take wit! part of his _ troops, of whose destina.;oll his ono Officers were ignorant. At harf.p.tsi It in the same night, about 1200 men et:ached by the tower of the Oro, as if they meant to go wit by the bridge, where they placed their cannon, as if the journey was to the county o f Nubla, but afterward we know they made act, pass, and directed their march towards Ronda, where the French, it appears, have experienced some revcrses. On the following morning some. parties departed with a cannon and howitzer. On the Ist of November, Gen. Gerard set out with 2000 men, and although he gave out he was going to !Arena, there is reason for doubting it. In Sc.' 'die a garrison-remains of from 900 to 1000 men, f. ..ed front the 100th regiment of infantry, the 33 cavalry, and the 7th and tith Spanish in. ftwiy, in which there are more officers than sill. dwrs. Marshal Murder lives in such .fear, that exactly at ten at night he itlaCes centinels from the id of the street in which he lives to St. Bartolome, itsoil no person is permitted to pass them.—( Regency tiuzelio.) . "CA - vitz; Dse:ll.—lt is said a law is about to be passed by the tones, declaring that the Kings of Spain and the ff rs Apparent of the Crown shall nut marry without the consent of the nation—this is countiactiug Bonaparte's schemes in the bud. SEvILLE, Nov. 20.—Aranza sent the day before yesterday to. the Consulship, the order communi. fated to Sioilt, to embargo all goods, of EngliSh or colonial produce, 41010110 they might be on board American ships, or others; which were in the ports of his jurisdiction ; to embargo and cots. Oscare, throughout the extension of his corn. eland, all the colonial produce which has not been obtained by capture, or sales made by the agents of Government ; and that the. latter shall pay the duties established by the Decrees of the sth A lost and•l2th September. This ort1:1. came from N 4l ,oltou tt> Soul', and from him direct to Aranza. Its all this Joseph is never warned, and conse rently there can remain no doubt whit the. incle pei,dence of Spain signifies in the conception of Na,askon. There is added at the end the Decree pt th 3d October, by a Itich it was ordered, that tite C lu,ual products found in any of the six Go. warrnments, .shirk we have said they established in should be embargoed and confiscated.

Eleven of' the principal persons who were ordered to pay t %rip millions and half, having excused themselves, were in consequence arrested in their houses, in each of which two Bens d'armes were placed, On the 3ur. rounding towns they have laid an exorbitant cunt Him. lion.

NAPA itTe reminds me of .the late French Revolution; many have been the causes assigned for the prodnc. lion of that great evcut, but I believe it is generally " I admitted, 46 that theinsolence of a swarm of Counts and Marquisses, the extortion of Priests, the cx. travagaucu and depravity of part of the Royal Fa. wily, the oppression of the Game Laws,- combined with the great pressure of the Pnblie,DAt, were the real causes of that event. If this is allowed, can we help exclaiming, Oh ! ;Nations of the. Earth, will you never learn to be wise ?• Will yolt never profit by experieoce? Is the page of history of no use to you ? Oh ! infatii ited PITT, seeing these things, why did you so enormously increase the list of privileged people ?

We were sorry to hear last night that the reports frOm AVindsor, respecting the state of his MAJe:. TY'S health, represented his fever to have increased, after the BeHeti() was issued in the morning. The town of IVindsor was in "a great state of alarm on Tuesday morning, between. four 41141 five o'cluok, owing to the departure and hrrival of ex presses. The Prince of WA Lus and Duke of CL'm. RERLANO arrived about that time; their Royal Highnesses immediately sent off several expresses ; during the whole of the day expresses were going and coming. Since the relapse of the KING, a Bulletin everyi evening, has been sent front Windsor to Mr. PEa..l CEVAL. , It is written by the Physician who is in close attendance upon his MaJesTy, and is in gen 6 ral an enlarged statemedt of his state during the day.

Dr. WILLIS, in his evidence, said, that accord. ing to the hest of his recollection his MAJESTY'S relapse in 1801, came on either on the evening of the 14th of Match, or the morning of the 15th.
