L 0 A' D 0-IV, 710173AY $ NOVIkIIIEIt 27, 1807. yesterday expressed our opinion that the Pro clamation of the KING of SPAIN for the apPrehen lion -of the Partstc'E of *AsTuatAs was.,authcutic, though there' were some circunisNices', .whifih teuded to throw a doubt-'upon it.; formation Which.we have since received : fOO7 vinces us that our opinion was well. founded,- , , There is no doubt that the ProclarnatiOn'Was(issued, rind that the Prince ,of ptit s i.lii4r an tmest inconsequence of it. Btzt asioon as it was. publicly known, an insurrc&Rion broke out 'in Ma— drid, and it is well known the populace of Madrid are - the'. most- formidable. of any in Europe.— insUrre6tion - , alarmed: the Court, and a se- . . , . , eond Proclamation was issued,, acquitting the Prince of AsTotilAs of haying had any share.in the, supposed Conspiracy, and .he was immediately.set at .tut we fear that unfortnnate .Princes u ill not long enjoy his . 'liberty, for it is , ...Atated that the Spanish Army which had advanced to the font iers'Of ,Portugal, had, received orders to march to Madrid, and that one of the Corps.olthePench Aim}', which had reached Salamanca, had, also di rated its march for the Spanish Capital. The, only circumstance which led us to entertain any strong, dOubt respecting the authenticity of the Prdelamation was, that it was not drawn up in the manner that Spanish Edias and Proclamations are. They ajwiys begin with the words.„?,l)Ou:carlos, quarto," Ike. and end with" Jo thg,Pr6. cl a Ma tiOn *Melt we laid before our4 i i iiikrs onWednes d ey, began with " Charles R.'!,/vhich is not the Custom in Spain. But though there: certainly is this vari ince in point of form, the Substance of,the Pro, clatnation, wehave little doubt, will be found to be 4orre6l. . . Tins entrance of the Russian Reel into the Taps. continues to be the subjer7t of various speculations. We do not profess to have a very decided opinion as to the most correct view of the transaction; but we are rather inclined to believe, that BUON4PARTi' has in this instance, as in many others, made the Conn of Russia an instrument of his deep designs. 'We rather think that the measure was not intended 'by Auintsttnen as one of hostility towards us. . The RUssian Fleet was, no doubt, in a very extraordinary situation. The a6tion , with the l Turks had rendered it almost unable to keep, the seas;..:and therewas no Tort in _the Mediterranean: in which it could have , ~ • taken Shelter without risldng .a rupture eitlier with ni. France or England. There Is titi doubt hut that we ~, should.have oppose d in; entrance it any Port be longing to France, or ber dependents. * France could not have prevensted•the Fleetirom wintering in Gih ! . . . raltar, or from coming to, an English Port; but it would have been impossible for Russia, after taking !Snell a t,tcp, to,preserve her relmions of amity with France, it cannot be btheved that BUwiAPARTI4- would suffer'Russia to put her Fleet in a situatioh to he taken possessinn o f, on the intitatit hen he mew have succeeded in his vie ws of indiC)n i her to declare against E ng l an d. "'hiltthen was ussia to do ? We thittis'it will appear that there was nothing left for, 'her, but to plat into a Neutral, Port. We . :11 . 6 far from asserting, that the desire of preserving her neutrality Was , the motive of Russia for:Ordering her Fleet to Lisboo, but. we merely say that if site had that desire, she could scarcely have - a6led otherwise thao. she ha:i. Frano"May have urged her to the cotpluel she has pursued, with views widely differing from the fireservaiion of her Neu trality ; but we are inclined - In think th a t, at pre!. :(•iit, however ALEXANDEtt may have been duped by 13u0N4PAIIT'2; into A heverymeaSures most favourable to the. views 'of 'the Tyrant, .he 4i4llllQt ..,, yet made . 4. , ..; , t common- cause with him. . •, ' i It may 1)(1 Ohje4.:tcd t lint I:l4mm isinot I a Neutral o vt; It may ba 60,, but zvhele, then,,wtts the Aus sian Admiral to find one+? lid might have matle a ;cc lfiting voyat; - e From the Mediterranean to the Bal tic, without fit)ding a Port so nearly neutral as Li - bon. Indeed' we are so ignoritit of the . true relations existing between Russia, Portugal, and the Powers at War, that we cannot po , ,sibly be acquainted with the light in which A-11n;ral SittlAVlbt viewed the politics of 'Portugal when he ca'rriecl. his Fleet into the Tagus. We knoW trot how fin it haS pleas ed 8110NA1 , 411T2 to admit Ate Russian Emper o r . into his secrets, : A very short time ago, Portugal might have been considered as a Power- dependent upon GREAT BRITAIN; nor do we now know hotv far tne raiNct nrGENT nas teen tne , aupe, ana now fpr the Agent, of BUONAPARTE. In short, the whole is mystery, and it should be so. Our management of Ausiia and Portugal are most•diffioult points, and Ministers would be highly blameable if, they sud'ered their arrangement to be embarrassed by premature explanations. We shall only add, .that to have prevented the RUssian Fleet from entering the Tagus,; by Mama ing that River, was ierpossible;,,to have sent a &Juno . : drop Into the Tagui would, have made it necessary for the Prince at once to declare himself, and would have endangered the Persons and Property of all British Subjeetsin_Portugal, which have, under the measures pursued, been._ entirely preserved. This, which was one grearobjea of a6y interference, has CoMpletely been accomplished. The other .ohjc6l, that of preventing France from making use of the Fleets' and Arsenals of Portugal, is as easy of ac comPlishtnent nt w, as it ,was , two, months ago. The -same circumstait`ces, perhaps, which make a blOckade impossible, make an attack easy. . This view of the subject considers the PRINCE REGENT as hastily inclined towards us ; but some persons have accused'Ministers of leaving a friend' in the lurch: The Public may be assured, that our not Interferingbetbre has been entirely conformable, to the wishes of the Portuguese Government, , , It must ,be allowed that the PRINCI; REGENT has had a most ditlieult . part toa6t,,expoSed as he is to at- lacks by land and sea. He ought not hastily (6 be ac 'cused of treachery. !The has hithei to been inclined to consider France as a more . poWerful, protellor than England, the declaration of BuowAPAiTE, lately in serted in the Moniteur, have very probably befotit , this time induced Linn to consider her ,also as a more dangerous friend. We have expressed our sentiments upon the whole subjea with a considerable degree of doubt, because We are not in the habit of forming strong opinions without fags. We hope, however, th at we s h a ll, soon be- able to communicate a more satisfaaory statement. A well•known native of Ireland,, whose name we do not think it proper to . mention at present, who a few years ago made a distinguished figure. in our fashionable circles, particularly those ehietly occu pied in play, and who was among the prisoners Verdun, contrived to obtain • leave to visit Paris, where he has rendered himself so acceptable to the French Goyernment, that it is said he has adually. been sent upon a secret mission . to/ Vienna... It is. confidently rumouied, thiit it ,is the intention of BuoNAP.tIItE to coiled as many of the Irish together . as he cm, who are spread over different parts 'attic Continent, in - order to assist in :his.long-meditatal : attack on Irelankand,i(is suspe6ted that the above: nrtentionened person bas heen sent to 'Vienna to 'pro mote this design, 'particularly', as there are two or three other Irishmen in that Capital who are not unlikely to embark. in any desperate enterprie. It seems to be.the inteittintt of -RUONAPAUTZ'ter • L • • excite the Roman Catlioll9sagainst .thtscountry,;.as the French writers have lately,titieeted .to pity the state of theii: Catholic Brethren IrclanA'and have' declared,: that if we attempted to take the the Catholics would rise in abhorrence against! us.- As these references to the Roman Catholics are doubtless intended to have a particubtr operation upon the people.of Alta: persuasion in Ireland, it would be right to remind them, that wh:;ri 131/ONS FARTd invaded Egypt, he assumed a Atilionietin) additicolo his name, ,ausi etttleavOured to conciliate the minds•of the Infidels by assuring them :that' ha was net a: Christian, but had humbled 'the Head of the Roman Cathelie Church. :The Catholics. then may seriously relle6t what benefits they are likely to derive fiom 'a man who made a merit of having abjured their Religion, who obliged the hie Head of their Church to leave the seat of his sacred Government at an advanced age of life, to ti•aVel into a foreign country, ' where he mitt expas4(f .tb the grossest insults, and where he'died in poVerty and afiliaion—ancl who compelled the preSent Pontiff to make a journey toParis in order to Crown him, to the exclusion of the rightful Heir'Of the French Monarchy, and who will probably, in the end, de prive that Pontiff of all his dignities and *sessions, • while he attefts tO consiler himai the laid of that Church which it is his do.ty to obey with implicit submission, if he has any 'belief in its doarines.—: This subjeB is more worthy of notice than people i n general ire aware of, who do not study the cha raaer,' and attend to every measure of the present Preach Ruler. , On Wednesday his Majesty was pleased to order the Parliament to be further prorogued, from the 17th day of December to the 21st day of , January, then to meet for the dispatch of business. In consequence of the Hon. HENRY RIDER kissing the King's hand, upon his being appointed to the Office of Judge Advocate General, Lord HAWKES. RUBY introduced him to the Privy Council, when he was sworn in a Member, and took his seat at the Honourable Board accordingly. tioverntnent determined yesterday upon the for. tpittich of a new Board, or Committee, for the ma nagenient of maps, charts, and drawings of Islands, Harbotirs, &c. comprising all necessary nautical and ge6graphical intellgence for the use of the Admiralty and 'Navy.

COLUMBINE. ; A Morning Paper speaks of certain changes in ( Administration being about to . take place. We do not believe one syllable of the matter. The Danish Islands in the West Indies were de clared in a state of blockade early in September. A valuable Danish Vessel, which 'attempted to' enter one of their Port's, was captured and carried into Jamhica. tutelligence froM St. Domingo of the 22d sept. had reached New-York. At that :period the 40-,, mesric war still continued. CuRISTOPiIE was on - the *eve of setting out, at the head of an . army of 10,0,0 D men, to attack his rival PETION.

It miens, we believe, more than the President of Hayti ,was Justified in declaring.
