WE were enabled on Saturday to lay before our
the important intelligence of the Counter-
;,-„olu:ion in Spain. and of the dreadful massacre
which too! place at Mildrid cin the 2cl instant. We
li:l7e, this d:iy extra6h.d„ at length, the
,details of
tho3o extrzerdiutuy tumiaCtions. It would be a

waste of time to enter into the discussion of the
whether the ev.lnt3 which have occurred
S);iht were or were 'not the re:ll; of French
it..tfiLuc—Wes still retain the opinion we have.uni-
formly expresiied, upon that slje ‘;. but whatever
cLY,:rence ncopinion may snbsist at to the cause 'of
the Insu:•Nhiplis and Revolutions, there can be
now: us to .their effea : the Kingdom of Spain has
btToine a Province- of France. BUONAPART}S has

contrived to inducor li:I1t4 0 Ct•lAturis and the Puttswg

pt ALST LT lAS nit only lo submit their respeaive
e!Anis to his decision, but to trust their persons into
114 power; and filorn that power they will not very
spvectiliescape. Our Readers arc already apprized

vour of Kis G CUARLF,3,---that the PRINCItof ASTU•

at present to
..be allowed to return to their
Dotninions they are mulled pass some time
iu France. The Patt4cE of the PEACE 'IS to
be onlo a retirement in France; and with
.
respect to the Prince of ASTURIAS, all we are told is,
that ff his Royal ilighness!will in about two or three
'days arrive at the estate of Valency, which belongs
to his liighnes4 046 (rand Eletlor." The extretne
imbecility which both the King of SPAIN and his
Ste) hiit'a manifeited, and, the abjekl servility which
they have 411 e Wit to HUONAPARTR, tend to weaken
the concern we shottid.etlwrwise feel for their tnis-
tbrititteS ; but fur the. Pepple of ,Spain, Who
bgL SaL:riticed by the supineass, cowaaCe, and
treachery their Governors, we. feel , the deepest

tails given in the :lioniteur, of the dreadful

thi:4 month, without horror. It must be treolleaed
th:it thole -details are giVen in 'the French Papvrs,
and 'we. may naturally therefore suppoie, that they
are con,:iderably ;- but when we hear that in

ants of Madrid were' subdued,: he thought it prudent
to make some concessions to. them ; and the hiy,h-

been as well if, while the stileets of the Metropolis
of Spain were still streaming with the blood cif its ,
inhabitants, MURAT had not insulted the survivors
by informing them that " the Soldiers of NAPOLEON
were only friendly Troops, only failhfhl Allies I"
There appears also to have been•an insurrection
at Toledo, though it was by no means of so serious
a nature as that which took place. at Madrid.

In addition to these details, our Readers will find
two curious and interesting documents, the one a
letter trOMI BUONAPARTE to tile PRINCE.Of ASTU.
RIAS, and•the other a Letter from Kn CHARLES
to that Prince. There are some expressions in the
former Letter which we should not have suspe6lecl
that B,UONAPARTE would have used, or at least
that he would have published; in speaking of the
PRINCE of PEACE, he says, ".He no longer has any
friends; your Royal Highness will no longer possess
them than while you shall be fortunate. The People
willingly revenge themselves for that homage which
they pay us."—=The whole of-this Letter is a_ mix-
ture of pretended friendship,.and of real

We have received a, considerable number of the
Sydney Gazette, from New South Wales, down to-
the
auth of last August. They contain nothing very
interesting except the agreeable intelligence that
'provisions bad 'much fallen in. price. There had
been full exercise for the officer who presides over
the criminal court, as Wright be expeEted. The Co-
lony', however, was in a thriving conditiOn, and
many who had left this c(ltitry with little credit,
have raised themselves
.11ito wraith and reputation.

PatvA•ru accour.ts have been roceived in Town,
stating the arrival of the Expedition, 'under the com-
mand of Sir J. Mociait ancrAdmiral Sir R. KnATs, off
the coast of Norway, where:tithe troops were landed
without opposition. Ilowever probable these ac-
counts may be, nothing; authentic has reached Go-
vernment.

The Admiralty are in momentary cxpeaation of
important intelligence from, the Mediterranean, but
nothing hal* arrived when, this Paper was [jut to
Press. •

IT is confidently BUONAYARre has at length
eaually declared War against AmericA. Soch a mea-
sure may be tiztleded: from Lilo impf;.4.041 of his
charader. We have not, however, heard tiny thin
that strengthens this report.

Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, Princesses Au.
OUSTA, MARY, and SOPHIA, accompanied by the
Earl of PARTAIOUTII, Ladies DASIER, THYNNR,
and BUOKLEY ; Generals FITZROY and GARTH, and
Major Paten, rode to St. George's Chapel, Windsgri
and heard a sermon by the Rev. Dr. COOK SON, from
the 2d Epistle of Pete'', the 9th chapter, and 16th
verse, and afterwards returned to the Palace.

Yesterday, notwithstanding the weather was ad-
verse to a public display of fashion, many dashing
Belles appeared in the Parks, regardless of the big
clouds which threatened to burst over them.' About
half past four o'clock a pelting shower descended,
and the adventurous Nymphs and Swains were re-
lndtantly compelled to fly, for shelter. As many
were at too great. a distance to reach -a friendly co-
vert quickly, they were drenched.. The Ladies in
muslin appeared like Naiades rising from a fbuntain,
and the dripping Bdaux in nankeen, like Tritons
round the shdl of Neptune:
The Gazette of Saturday contains an Or.i• r in

South America between the loth and' 30th degrees
of Nortft latitude, including the island of New Or-
leans,. on the t oth (lay of February, 1808.
Yesterday . a Charity Sermon was .preached at •
Richmond, in Surrey, by the Rev.:HoucroN HART-
WELL 0:011 of Sir FttANCIS ifARTWELL, Baronet),
in support of that excellent Institution triunci6il for
t!)c relief of the Deaf and Dumb. '.The Discourse
was to impressive that a very handsome colleetion
was made, though the village and its fieighlvarl)o(l,
are at present but thinly inhabited by those from
whom a liberal tenlribution Might hate been ex-
petted if they had been upon the spot. •

in France, as it can be bad so•loyins three per cent.
in. consequence of the stagnation at trade, and the,
