TARRAGONA, DEC. 18,—Marshal MACDONALD has been recalled trom the command of the French troops, and a few days after his arrival at Gerona,. set out' for France: BUONAPARTE, but little Wis.- lied with the results ' of his operations, which, in reality, have not been more fortunate than these of his predecessor, AUGEREAU; Ilse given the come mans to his brother-in-law, Prince BORGRESE. The first care of the new General was to send a convoy to the fortress of Catalonia, in which he has employed'all the fresh reinforcements be has brought. fiat the public spirit of the principality continues in all its vigour. The army has been recruited with 16,000 new soldiers, whom the example of their .companions in arms will quickly make veterans, and the advantages obtained since the end of Oc tober, maintains enthusiasm and patriotism. MADRID, Dec. 4.—The intrusive Government continues to exact, widi the greatest cruelty, the contributions imposed on thii tows, and some persons, for nor having paid them, have been con:- :duCied to the Retire; but bSEPH has exempted from it the hou,es of URGLUI.IO, BRANCHEVORTH, and others which aro poor, charging their quotas to'the remainder. Having lately taken 10 Spanish cavalry' which bad deserted, a council of war. was immediately held ; it contented itself with prntittg the chief to deaih, and sending th..! remainder to F: . ance. Orders have been given to thosis living in the vicinity of the Setiro to 'quit their houses; with what objea is not known, In the palace there are many ehests,packed up for France, we are , assured' that an nidgle:catrip of Josern w ill y tk'ike charge of thern, and. t h at he will be accompanied by part of the household, The other preparations for a journey ore dissimulated, and at the same time it 1 - $' said, with an air of nays t,,ry; this Riser!' is preparing to stn oot fur Video. .eia, where they are ready to receive him. The French and their 'partiians coatinne to risyl t, that MASSENA 1135 obtained 4yictory, and entered Lisbon in triumph. The day before yesterday the anniversary or. the Coronation of NAPOLEON Wai celebrated with a tti , ple ftliAdmrge of artillery. They ()mitten M r eationilig In the Gazette, as in former years; the cause; per ;laps whit a vi. sr that same' might be induced to s uppose the firing was for the victory of MASSENA. On the 27th of last month arrived, by the gate 'of Alcali, seven wagons • laden" with wounded' tbe ?Bth, a Spank() party entered Alcala, and killed the sentinels of the Freneh, who dared not move from their quarters. The Patriots have likewise lately carried off from Guadaxalara, cloaths, horses, &c. This has probably been 'the cause of there having been marched towards the said chr a French battalion of infantry, with two pieces of artillery. Another afrong detachment, composed hi a great tueasui4 of thelloyal Guard, marchetl, on the 2d of this month, by the road of Aranjuez. A party bad the autlacity, that morning, to make their op- pearance at the house of Portezgo, and carry off the horses which were there, A person who has just arrived 'from Castile re lases, that a large Convoy had been intercepted, which was conduaing frort) , Valladolid to Burgos, the spoil) of the city and province of Salamanca, and that there had „entered many of the escort wounded, in Valladolid. On the ^d inst, arrived() caravan from Andalusia, In it came the English and Spaniards made prison ers in Tuengerola and Buz() ; they amount to 450 men ; there llkewise came with it kw waggons of French sick and wound',d, and during 'the night a much larger number of the latter entered, They say the plague is in Andalusia, and the French magnify the destruaion it causes; but not withstanding this, they talk of the speedy departure o f a large conroy for that province, and a decree has been issued by JO‘IEPII, ordering all the olive trees in the roads leading to the same to be cut down, under pretext that they afford a rrtreat Ip the bri gands. This is a 'proof .that so gre;rl tranquility does not prevail in the' inferior of Andalusia, as they hove hitherto issertetl, Governor BELLIARD, A:con - Tallied by various en gineers, has viewed the ground towards Fuente Cas tilltma. They talk of 'forming a camp between Fuencanel Herlaleza, and Chamartin. The mail fri - Prn France has arrived. The report runong the French is, thit IhroNfiritirrr. is coming in , :,an to Spain with nurherons reinforcements. L, 111 I) 0 A, FRIDAY, FlißituAny I, 1811. ." Windsor Castle, Feb. 1, 181 t. " His *MAJESTY 'l3 in the sam slate as yes• tOday." Signed 08 usual. . . This morning, we received Cadiz Papers, from which we have, made copious extracts. The most important article they contain is one which sillies, that Marshal MACDONALD has been recalled in dis grace. BuostsrAllTE now, ft seems, thinks himself strong 'enough to destroy the men by whom he has been raised to power. BRUNIZ, JUNOT, AUGEREAU, and MACDONALD, have all been disgraced ; and MAssasrs, if lie is not successful, will be made the next sacrifice. The Norge has arrived at Plymouth from Cadiz, which place she left on the oth ult. The only news she brings is, that a detachment of nine Battalions had been made from the Arr'ny before Cadiz. The Opposition Writers, with their usual con sistency, sometimes pour forth invectives against the present Ministers for what they are pleased to term clinging to office, and at others assert that it is the intention of his Majesty's Ministers to tender their resignation as soon as the Regency Bill is passed.-- If the present Ministers were either moved by the illiberal attacks, or influenced by the insidious ad vice of their opponents, they would ill deserve the confidence either of 'their King or Country. His Majesty's 'Ministers will not tender their resignation, because .they could hot do it withottf a grois dire fiction of their duty and of the trust reposed in them: ! They were Wypointed by his IVfejesty. ; they possess his confidenee, and, as far as we are able to judge, they possess the confidence of the peOple: they are not, as'Mr. SHERIDAN confessed that Lord . dRENVILLE'S Adminiitration was " an unpopular Administration." Upon what ground then could they justify thdmselves to their Sovereign or to the nation, for abandoning the trust reposed in them ? Ills Royal kfighnots the Prince of WALE 9, when invested with the pnWers Regent,'will of course► exercise his own 'judgment .upon the propriety of dismissing or retaining his Leather's Ministers, under all the circumstances of the case; but these Mini sters would act most reprehensibly, in our opinion, if they were to tender their resignations. 'A majo tity of both "Houses of Parliament have constantly . . approved of the pri nc ipl es o f the present,. Adminis tration ; and .during the discusstOns upon the Regency, notwithstanding the, very extraordi.• nary exertions that have been made apinit them, ; their meas)ires' have n,et with the: - sauce honourable sanction;' how ihen could they justify themselves to those majorities fur abandoning a cease, and deserting principles so sopping' There is, indeed one and only one ease in which the present Ministers would be excusable in resigning their offices; but as we are sure it is quite impossible that ease can occur, we think it unnecessary to say any ihing upon:the subject. A Protest has beenisigned by nine Peers, " against the rejection of Lord KING'S moiion for omitting .the name of JOHN . , Lord &not, as one of her MA JESTY'S Council." The arguments used in this Pro test are the same that were"urge'd by' Lord GREY, in his Speech, viz, that the Lord• Chanceor;in 1804, took his' MAJESTY'S COIDOlanClo upon public business at n period when, according to Doctor IhriEßnales account, he was not absolutely restored to health. Froni what felt from Mr. WuntnnEab 'last night, we may conclude that this subje& will undergo a ft.illihveoigatiatl, and therefore it is not necessary to discuss it at present. -We shall be glad to see an in q.u,it'y instituted, because we think that there can not be t lie slightest particle' of doubt upon the hub. ject. We think it right, however, to 'observe, that this Protest is not signed by Lord GRENVILLE, Lord SPENCEE, or the lyltrcjuis of LANSDOWNE. We are also gratified to find that' it IS not signed by any of the Royal Dukes. His Royal Highness the Duke of Yoax, it appears from the Paper:; of 1 804, saw His MAJESTY ,almost daily, and the other Princes had frequent interviews, with HIS MAJESTY : they mast therefore have known whether be *as, or 'was nut, in a state of health competent to transact husi oe4s. The circumstance therefore of their not join ing in this Protest, appears to us at least a decisive proof, that in the opinion of their 'Royal Highnesses the conduct of the LORD CHANCELLOR was pefectly justitiablc. The particulars of the dreadful rivi;saere which took place at Quito on th e ed o f August are already belore the public; but we have received a Trinidad Payer, containing subsequent accounts, which shew that the scenes of bloodshed were not closed where the former. narrative 'ceased.—"ltimiettiately after this bloody St. Bartholomew's," observes the Tri nidad Paper, ‘! the nobility of the country were in ,avited to assemble at the GovernMent *House, tO con gratulate them sin th , 4 not having been coutpre heeded in'the conspiracy, but they were shot to a ,man, by the troops who' surrounded the Govern ment House, who were then ordered to disperse through the city, and put man, woman, and child, to the sword, which was literally obeyed. It is computed that 700 persons were murdered upon this OrCasian ; among whom is, the Marquis Du SELVALAG3R, a man of great science, to whom HUMBOLDT was indebted for all his information re spetting that country. It. appears further; that this bloody project had been concerted •with the Viceroy of Santa Fe, to whore the Governor of ,Quito had immediately dis - patched an express, to acquaint him of the success but the Junta of Santa F e h av i ng intercepted the dispatch; the Viceroy was apprehended, tried by - law, conOcted,.and executed. i• The news of this terrible catastrophe Was brought. to the Cal'aCCill % ►by the young Marquis of SELV 1.11014 The effect it produced on the Cara quenos was instant and unanimous—a cry of ven geance against the Eurepeaoi pervaded all parts of the . city and province—moany of the principal Eu •ropean- inhabitants were%imprisoned„, and, .in the fist moment of indignition, the expulsion of every European was - resoived on.; but the Junta, always prudent rtr thrirttrtermitittiolis; lave, we are id formed, confined that order (With few exceptions) to the .Bairebuiti6, who have been ordered to quit the prOvincein six days; and the same decision has also been taken at Barcelona and Cumana." We have received a series of Barbadoes (Papers to' the 23d ult. at which date the malignant fever which had proved so fatal to the inhabitants as to throw almost the whole island into mourning, had entirely subsided. It is very remarkable, that during the prevalence of the fever, the troops enjoyed their accustomed health. Rear-Admiral Sir FRA . Nelli LAFORRY, successor to Vice-Admiral CO'dilliANi on the Leeward bland station, arrived at Barbadoes on the Ist nit. on board the Dragon, the flag-ship.-- Admiral LAPOtIRY was immediately to assume the . command; and lions his ataivity, independence of 'mind, and cpnciliating manners, there is no doubt but that he will be a very popul r Commander-M -(114f.
