We are at length enabled to communicate to
our Readers• some authentic intelligence respeet-
ing BuorrApAitTn'a intentions towards the new
King of. SPAI;i. A meeting took place be-
tween them, not at Bayonne, as was supposed,
but On the frontiers of Spain, near Vittoria.
-.-;;At this' interview BUONAFARTE received FER•
PINAFD with the greatest distinction,, acknow-
lthiged 'him King of Spain and the Indies, and
has confided to him the administration' of Portugal,
until the conclusion of a general Peace, Spain
is to in the Confederation of the Rhine, and
to turniih a contingent of 50,600 men. The late
King and Queen are to be sent into France, under
a very strong escort. With respe& to the PR/NCO

of ,PsA c a, nothing is, we understand, yet determined
' respeding his fate. t The above statetount fully con-
firms the opinions we have submitted to our Readers
upon this subjed. The Revolution appears' to have
been entirely the efied of . French intrigue, and
by the arratigementi wtfich have taken place,
BuorsrApAmi; has become virtually. King of Spain.
But though the new GoVerniuent is entirely de-
voted to France,, the people Of .Spain :scent. very
unwilling, to sacrifice their
.independence., „Several,
cc Mmotions have taken place, and it has been'
thought necessary to augment the French troops'in
Madrid, to upwards of 50,000 roan, ,
With respect to Portugal, although the nominal
-pdministration of it is to the new King •of
Spain, it is obvious that General JUNOT 'Will in
reality be the Governor of that unfortunate Country.
he marriage between the new King of Spain, and
one of the BUONAPARTH Family (we believe Made-
moiselle LA NAMUR) will shortly take place. ,

A Report is said to have been brought by
the Cheerly Gun-brig, which arrived On Tuesday at
Plymouth from the Mediterranean, that the Roche-
fort and Toulon Squadrons had gut into Port Mahon,
Minorca ; but we apprehend this most ben Mistake,
There is no doubt that they are in Toni* and we
fear th'ere is not much chance of their coming out.

141111AD4 yesterday brought forward in the
Muse Commons a
.Motion .respeLting. the.appoint-
mem of Dr. DUIGENAN to be a Privy Conut:illor ; but
it was 'nut the Motion of which that Gentleman
originally ettenotice. Instead of •.a MotiOn for an
Address to,fits MAJESTY; to kflOW WhO adyistd.the
appointment of Di.. DincitNAN to be a Privy Coun-
cillor, Mr. ilium Ast moved for Copie3 of the Ccirres-
pold betu een the English and II ish Governments
upon. the subject Sir A. WectEsccy stated most
di.it naCtIV the grounds. uusary ...ivhigh-the appoint-
menlAas made. He said that ealesiastical questions
were, of course, frequently 'discussed in the Privy
Council of Ireland, and that it was thoUght desira-
ble to have the assistance of the professional know-
ledge and experience of the Learned Gentleman.—
The motion, however, way persisted 7 in, and • nega-
siv6:l,by a large najority, We cannot quit this sob-
jeEt without noticing the repeated 'pet-sonal attacks
which have been made upon Dr. DuIGP,N4,N, a Gen-
llemari of t;r'eat learning, and of onitnpeachable jct.-
togrity. Indeed his opponents have ?fever vebtnred
to question either his abilities or his iharaEter: his
great offence seems to jacithathe is a warm friend tO
the P.roteitant iteligienond a strenuous :water of the.
rights Jed. tho Establish.ea Church. r trite Oppositi,o
endeavoured, upon this as well as upon other Occa-
sions, to make the Catholics of Ireland believe that
some insult was direlited against them by this ap-
pointment Fbut the Catholics have, we are cOmtinced,
too much good sense to be deceived by such artifices, or
to suffr, themselves to be made instruments to forty
warn toe views of a di eontented Party.
