LONDON,
TUESDAY, JANUARY 9.

We have received Spanish papers to the V.3d, and
Lisbon to the 31• t last. Among the extracts
which we have made from them, is a long leiter, or
representation, from the Marquis of ROMAN A, ob-
jecting to the present E:cecutis•e Government of
Spaiu, and recommending a Regent, or Council of
Regency, in its place. If Spain is to fall beneath
the Despot of France, it is to the imbecility of the
Supreme Junta it will owe its fate. Had a man
of talents been placed at the head of the state, the
Spanish cause would now wear a inure favourable
aspect.

The Spanish paperA al.io bring the important in-
telligeoce of the evacuation of Spain by the British
urmy under Lord W ELIA rt Gros. It arrived, an the
10th, at Elva., ■nd was expected, on the 16th, at
A [mantes. The departure of the British troops was
announced to the Supreme Junta, by a farewell let-
ter from his Lordship, iii which he only mentions,
generally, that he was going to the North of the Ta-
gus. From Abrantes it was supposed that the British
army would proceed to Lisbon and Oporto, to the
protection of which cities its operations will probably

be confiner!. Tlie French army, node r
VICTOR and MORTIER, occupied, on the tu
eesstier, the whole of the province of La AI,
with its h.atd-ertartets at Ciudad Real ; 141,1
'Latta xis corps had proceeded to Coenc..
