Spain is afilidel by more than one calamity.— Here contagions diseases, there ear:hquakes, in other places civil commltions spread alarm and de solation. The disorders which have taken place in Biscay have risen to such a pitch, that the King has judged it necessary to sen.i thither an army of 20,000 men, for the purpose of restoring tranquillity.— This army is composed of a column of Castilian grenadiers of about 4,000 men ; the African regi ment, a Catalonian regiment, a corps of cavalry, &c. A public letter from Bilhoa, the capital of Biscay, dared the I . 6th ult. gives some details relative ` 4. the t oubles is that THE BRITISI-1 P.RESS, I.ON DON, SATURDAY. Novamsta 17. It was confidently reported yesterday in the City, Cat arrangements arc making fora Regency. We should not be suprised to find, that the late Royal Interview at Kew Palace has been connescled with some important political changes. The Party Prints are at variance upon this intereAing subjea. One insists that the meeting had nothing in view beyond the grauficauon of personal feeling. The other maintains the contrary position with equal perti nacity. A private letter from Paris, of the ^9tll ult. states, that BONAIARTS has seldom been seen in such a violcat rage, as when be received the inf4rmation of the capture of the Spanish frigates by our cruisers. This news was brought him from his Ambassador, Stramtvitxt, at the Hague, by a Couriir, who ar rived at Paris, past l l o'clock at night, on the 21th ult and, late as it was, he not only ordered Trit.t Er a Aso immediately to attend, but sent for the Sr A N.. !Sit and PORTUGUESE AMBASSADORS. whom he treated in a manner as might be evpened from an enraged and disappointed despot. They remained with him until two o'clock in the next morning ; and, before they went to bed, sent Couriers to their respeiaive COUTES, as TALLEYRAND dii to the French Char;:e d'Affaires at Madrid and lashon. At ten o'clock, in the forenoon of the kith, BoNA rArrE convoked the military seßion of his Council of State, at which Generals BERTIBER. AUGEREAV, BOVRNORVILLE, and LASHES, were present. After it had broken up, orders were sent to several corps in the interior, to march towards the Spanish fron tiers. It was therefore reporte4 and believed at Paris, that another camp would be formed near Bayonne, under the command of AUCEREAU or LASSES. From the almost daily conferences of the SPANIK Astaass•non. with TALECYRAND since, to whiz); the PoartGutse AMBASSADOR has often been invited, it is supposed that BON AP AR 1E ha; threatened Spain and Portugal ssitla some new vio lent measures, or demanded some new exorbitant sacrifices. Among the members of the Diplomatic Corps in France, it is rumoured that the French Charge d'Afaires in these countries have been order ed to insist upon an immediate declaration of war against England, under threats, in ca s e of disobedi ence, of seeing the Spanish and Portuguese ports garrisoned by French troops, and the Spanish and Portuguese provinces used $s conquered countries, b) numerous French armies! A rumour was set a-float, upon the arrival cf the liamburgh Mails, that the King of PRUSSIA had received the news of the seizure of Sir Geciaos Ru , 4 sof. o, with marks of the highest displeasure and that General KroaatAsnuarr, who was nn his way through Hanover to Paris, in the quality of Ambassador Extraordinary, received counter-or ders, until dispatches were prepared for him rela tive to this subjen.
