Crown and the rigl:t thereto, ai appears by the
lowing documents, vit. /

" I thought proper to give my beloved sub.=
jeas this last proof of my paternal love. Their ltap=
piness, tranquillity, prosperity and preservation, and
Integrity of the dominionS that Divine Proviience
had placed-' under my shay, have been the sole
objects of my constant care during my reign.--i
Every step and measure that have been adopted
since my exaltation to the throne of my august an-
testors have been directed to those just pvirposes,
and could not be. directed to any other. Thi%
day, in the extraordinary circumstances in which
am placed, my conscience, my honour, and the
good name I ought to leave to posterity, imperi-
ously require of me that the last ata of my sove-
reignty should be solely pointed to that end, viz. to the
tranquillity, prosperity, security, and integrity of the
monarchy, whose throne I quit, to the greatest
happiness of my subjeds of both hemispheres.—
Therefore, by a Treaty signed and ratified, I have
ceded to my Ally and dear Friend, the Emperor
of the French, all my rights to Spain and the Indias,
having stipulated that the Crown of Spain and the
Indias is always to be independent and entire, as it
was under my rule, and likowise that ,our Holy Re-
ligion is not only to -be the predominant one in
Spain, but the only one to be observed in all the
dominions of (he Monarchy. Of all which you
will take due notice, and communicate it to all
the Cobncils and Tribunals of the Kingdom, Chiefs
of Provinces, Civil, Military, and Ecclesiastical,
and to all the Juitrces of Distrids, in order that this
last act of my sovereignty may be notorious to all
and every one in my dotninions of Spain and Indias;
and you are all to concur and assist in carrying into
effeCt the diSpositions of my dear friend the Emperor
NAPOLEON, as they are. directed to preserve the
peace, friendship, and union between France and
Spain, avoiding disorder and popular commotions,
the effeots of which can only be havock and destruc-
tion of families, and the ruin of all.

Extra& of a Letter from a Lady in Madrid to her
Brother in Dublin, dated May 5.—"" Words cannot
describe the horror with which we have been sur-
rounded since the first of this month; the approach-
ing storm was expeCied ; but on the 2d, immediately
after breakfast, it broke out in the most furious
manner. Our friend T. had provided a retreat at his
country house, ahout eight Miles distant, to which
we were to remove that Very evening, but the storm
overtook us, and topped our journey; the thunder
of the artillery announced tile begiuning of the bu-
siness,' and in a. few minutes eller the whole male
population of the city appeared in arms: wherever
a French soldier was discovered, he was instantly cut
down, or shot ; six of theni were put to death under
our windows ; the scene was dreadful beyond
.de-
seription ; after two "or three hours 'carnage,` parti-
cularly in our great street, called, Alcala, a rein-,
forcement of Frenchmen poured into the town, and
in their turn became the assailants ; our doors. were.
burst open by the defeated populace, and seven or
eight of the inhabitants took relnae under the
touches, and in different parts of the house; but the
French soldiers followed therri, and in my presence
they most unmercifully bayonetted those. who had
first entered the room, where I and my children sat
shivering with horror. The presence of a Young
French Officer proteeted us, and he had the hu-
manity to continue with me in the house the entire
of this fatal day, to which I certainly owe the lives
of myself and children. All night the inhabitants
were forced to illuminate their windows, and fifteen
dreadful looking fellows took entire possession of the
lowerpart of the house; they soon broke open the
cellars, which they plundered, nor could the pre-
sence of the friendly Officer I have mentioned pre-
vent them. The following morning, Was indeed a
scene of horror. Almost every person that passed
'through the streets was stained with , blood, and the.
dead bodies lay in heaps : it was reported, and I be-
lieve with some truth, that NIURAT, the. French.
General, intended to. erect some works outside the
town, to batter tt to the greund, in revenge for the
lives Of hiasoldiers. This, however, he abandoned.
The next day, when the tumult had a little subsid-
ed, T. and I got some. articles of plate, and the books
of the house, and throtigh the intercession of our
French friend, were suflered 'to remove to his. rCSi•
&ince at Oinbro; where we Dow are with the chil7
dren. You shall hear from me the first possible
conveyance. The chance I have of sending this to
Lisbon is but small, but it may possibly reach,.:'

Extras of a Letter from Mrs. E. listowllllvhO
was captured in October last, on board the' Sello,
Captain RUSTON, -and carried into Spain, dated
Gijon, May 31, to her parents in York :
" I hope to be in England 'by the first King's
Ship that sails from hence. I have been treated like
a Princess by the good Spaniards, and have wanted
for nothing but my health. The ports here are
opened to the English, and the people have risen
vn masse, in defence of their good King, who has
been betrayed, and carried into France ' • and a
brother of BUuNAPARTE is to be King of Spain.".
The following paragraph, .which we extract from
a Madrid Paper, is a mote striking exemplification
than has yet reached us of the disposition of the
French Writers to deal in thehyperbole, when adu-
lating Boob/Agana—it is film Marseilles.
The 20th of 'this month (April) a religious ce-
remony took place to return thanks to the Oimiipo-
few, for the liberty obtained by the ,French Cap-
tives in Algiers, through the paternal offices and so-
licitudes of the Emperor : the.public gratitude to the
Divinity and to the Sovereign, who is his image up-
on earth, was manifested in a solemn procession,
singing a catiticle'of thanksgiving, and the abund-
ance of the alms received for the succour and com-
fort of the Captives."
