Fust before this Paper was put to Press we re-
ecivul Matla Papers to the 18th inst. They con-
tain interesting intelligence respeeting the affairs of
Spain, of which we can only to-clay give the follow-

ink; abstrad-i— • , • , •
The Dutch Journals contain a long article, trans-
lated from the Moniteur, of the t i th, dated Bayonne,
the 6th instant. This article gives intelligence
from "Madrid, written on .the evening of the 2d,
by which it appears: that 'violent disturbances
had 'taken place in that Capital. Tbis French
account begins by. stating, that mr since the events
at Aranjuez, the people of Madrid had been
disturbed state ) that,Offence-was daily given to the
French ; that for .two days there had been 1111`•
0)04'90S a,svtnblies, WhiCil appeared to have some
certain obje6t in view. The cool and prudent part
of the.. French and Spanish 'saw that a crisis, was
approaching, and wished to bring the-multitude to
reason. The Queen C.),f L7aviuta and Don FRAN-
CISC. 0 wished to go to Bayonne. The Grand Duke
of Mato attempted to rescue them. He was sur-
rounded as he was going to the Palace, and defend-
ed himself long, • and he was on. the point of fail-
lag;: When ten grenadiers ,rescued-him. At the
same :rnorrient a second Officer was wounded
by another crowd. The great• strectlOf Akala, the
Sun:Gate, and the great Syiare, were crowded.
The (;gaud Duke gave the alarM, and flew to his
post, and a Battalion of the French marched to the
Grand' Duke at the-Palace, with cannon, "wilere the
d:sturbers had assembled.

A tiring took place from two rinks, and in a
short time the multitude were dispersed. Woo-
ral GROUCHY was ordered to , disperse the crowds
,
in. the street of Alcala—thitty, pieced of cannon
with grape shot, and a charge of .cavalty, cleared
ell the streets. Yet the insurgents, though they
fled from the streets' into the houses, fired from
them upon the French soldiers—Generals, GULLe•
LOT and DAUBUIN broke open the doors, and all
who.Wert, found. with arms iu their bands were
to dt:at.h.—Gen. DAMsslSet. aside two charges with
cavalry in the Square, and had two hones killed
under him. The insurgents made for the arsenal to
seize ' the arms and canuoni---t hey broke iu, but
Gen. LEPR4EN arrived in time te.'save the arms. All
who Were in. the arsenal- Were put to death. - The
French Garrison of Madrid were close etn'aged in
this affair: When the firing- of cannon was heard
in the camps outside the City the troops. marched

When the Esti.saelt received- the-tidings of the.
above husiness, he• went to King CHARLES, and
met linn:coming from the Empress's, where he had
dined, and on telling him the news, the King said—
‘o I ,have foreseen this evil—/hose who set the po.-
pulace on think they can restrain them,"
The King instantly resolved to appoint the Grand
Dukei,of Berg X,ieutenant-General of the KingdOms

-Wain 'Which We have made some extracts respecting
Portugal. General JUNOT, aa'a mark of his master's
approtsagom and. favour, has been honoured with the
title of Duke of AuItANTH4i and we cannot avoid
callingAhe attention of our Readers to the article
from Liston in which this new creation is an
irottiiced : it is impossible to conceive any thing
more grossly or cruelly insulting to the
.tirsicirtunate
people of Portugal, more especially when it is con-
pied with a Proclamation from Jowar, contained in
the same Papers, by which the most severe penalties
are denottneed against those who way attempt to
escape front -French exaction and oppression, and
even, against Persona who shall receive any Letters,

ticle ‘frotal.ll(isboo, to which we bare alluded,

so in substance ; and 'therefore, the following sen-
tence which it contains must be considered as hav-

probably, by the circlets, of BUONAPAUTE:

the sentiments of the EMPEItOItS of Russia and
AUSTRI, but particularly of the former, upon this
sentence. iIueNAPAcTF. has, undoubtedly, for some
•time exercised a despotic authority over those
two Emp,erors, \but- he never before openly an-
doOnced them to the world as his vassals.

A very pompous, but uninteresting account, is
given in these Papers, of the ceremony of presenting
the Sword of FaaN et I. taken at the battle of Pavia,
to General MURAT:

' A Letter•hasheen received in Town this morning
from Yarmouth, which states., that ititelligencehad
been received there that a Dutch Lineof-battle Ship
had escaped.out of the Texel.

IN giving an Astra& of Colonel SHIP Lev's speech

will be very severe' if, after carefully; perusing what
we are about to state, they do not fully agree with
'Colette/ SIIII'LEY and ourselves, that " POSTRILEY
WILL. DISCOVER AN EXTRAORDINARY CONTRAST BR7.

k.A,t4" THE CONDUCT OF' TRH LATE AND INtEnNT,
ADMINISTRATION."

The laic Administration compromised the 'honour
of this Country, and I),ms:dyed the 'safety of Europe.
They found two powerful States pnited against the
col-ninon Enemy, and clamorous for'assistance
they looked on the struggle with the most insulting
apathy, and turned it deaf earto every w reaty ! The
destiny of the world depended, itt no inconsiderable
degree, on the preservation of Dautzic ; .a few Gun.
brigs might have maintained i 4 against all kower
of Flatlet!: Spithcad was literally cnOtunbered with
them, and yet oat a single one was suffered to weigh
an anchor ! BLIONAPART.k; was bearing down the
llussitm Armies by, dint of superior numbers; and
frequent, and, indeed, pathetic applications were
made from St. Petersburgh, that we would endea7
your to lessen the pressure,' by alarming the coasts
al France or Italy : the return to these was a mad
and wicked Expedition to Alexandria; which end-
bled the French to onfurnish the shores of the Me.
ditqr3nowl, and pour additienal myriads upon the
already'retiring Troops of Russia ! of
Tilsit, apd all its' concomitant evils); fullowed as a
natural consequence : one powerful Monarchy was
entirely destroyed; a great and ringhtY'Prhentate
was. converted, from a zealous friend, intOa mosi
bitter encmy ; and the whole Continent Of Europe,
with the exceppou of Sweden, laid Kt the feet of au
execrable Tyrain, who was thus en powered it). di.
r.etA all its risoUrces against Great .I;ritain. Such
was " the coliduct of the tale Administration

The preseht Administration found BPONAPARTE
in possession of all the southern coot x Unto

with aft unlimited controul civet the Navy of Russia,
a preponderating in ti ence inilk tha.Pounifils of Den-
- t
and a fixed determination to terrify or cajole
Sweden into the surrender of her 'Meer, with an ie7:
tent of combining the maritime forces of the three
Powers, and directing diem against the most yid-
,nerable part of the British Empire! a -scheme at
once feasible, striking,_thagnificent, and. pregnant
with greater dangers to this Country, than any
hostile plan" which :the st4titife malignity of its
enemies ever, formed against it. From the fu-
rious and reiterated attacks,. of the late Ad-
ministration," on , the Danish. Expedition, it .is
perfectly 'clear, that ,Ithe clepinratile politicians of
whom it WAS composed would not have awaked
from their death-like slumber of security till IWO-.
•NAPARTE had effeCted his gigantic measures, and,
with the united maritime force of three Etripices,
poured irresistible destruction on the Northern shores
of Great Britain. And here, let us call the grateful
attention of'our Readers to that mereifUl interven,--
' tion of. Providence, Which removed such weak and
dangerous Ministers from our Councils, and inspired
his Majesty with wisdom to aelet others, from
whose integrity and vigour we may hope (under
that` 'gracioui Power, whose
,guiding hand is so vi-
sible) for.security, glory, and itsattendant blessings,
prosperity and lasting peace!
To return to Colonel SHIPLEY. The Reader has
seen in what state Europe was left by the " late Ad-
ministration ;" it remains to perfect:- the contrast,
for the benefit of " posterity." Fully sensible of
the evils arising front the pernicions torpor of their
predecessors, " the present 'Administration" orga-
nized, with a speed hitherto unknown, a Most
powerful armament, 'of which the object was not
even suveCted by our enemies abroad or at home,
and diSpatched it to secure the Navy; of Denmark,
on Which the subje6tion of Sweden, and the conse-
quent junetion of the naval strength of the Baltic,
ultimately depended : this was as gallantly achieved.
as judiciously concerted, and. the key,stone_ being
thus withdrawn, the ecLfice fell of course, and laid
the daring projetat of BuOSAPARTE in ruins ! In this
instance, then, " posterity will discover an extra-.
ordinary contrast between the condo& of the late
and present Administration ;"-and their astonish-
ment at the blindness of the former, will be con-
. verted into horror, when they learn the tremendous
magnitude of the danger to which, they exposed us.
Had their . pestilential counsel been followed, ,the
Tyrant of Europe would have assembled, in the
before the end of January, a naval forte of
fifty sail of the Line, an equal nunther of stout Fri-
' gales, and fiOLO two to three hundred Gun-boats of

a most, formidable description : theft, tilled with

Troops, which were purposely cantoned along the
Coasts, would have been pppareci to sail on the first
breakintup of the ice ; and an easy navigation of
three or four days,. from the lase of Norway, would
have, broUght them to the liumber, or the Frith of
Forth! It will be recollecleti, that from the end of
January to that of April, a.space of three months,
the Wind blew constantly' and powerfully from.the
East ; so that, however Urgent the call, it was ab-
sOlutely impraeticablo to send a single Squadron of
large Ships, to watch, much less to defeat, any
ho!tile designs of: the Enemy, who might have
landed 150,000 •rnn, and retired to their harbours'
unmolostetl,' lon before we had lost sight of the
Downs. :From all this evil, and more, the energy
of " the present Administration" has micueti us ;
and we hope that it will tint be forgotten by " pos-
terity,'`. when they set about for I 111.11'g t,.ie" c6tr:ls,t?

The," late Administration" sacrificed mit most
powerful Allies; o,tlcl we .cannot. telicet without
scorn and indignatiO on; that base and cowardly de-
relletioa of every honourable principle, 'which
prompted tke-4.!;:ac-tti of it party (now .reduced -to
a faetion) to IVAose, when "the present Administra,
, m
Lion" asked for supplies to enable the gallant young
King of Sweden (the 'onl3r friendly Power who had not
falters a viEtint to the irnbeclity ot their predecessors)to
defend his country, and preserve a brave and loyal
people from slavery and destruction, that a million
sterling shoUld be given him for:the-express pnrpose
of transferring it to the handsof his and our most
inveterate
,enemy, as the price of a shameful and
insecure Peace ! ! ! While we have a tongue to
speak, or a hand to direa a pen, we will never suffer
it ta he 'forgotten that the Leaders-of 'the Party; the
oraeles. of "the late Administration," exhorted the
Government of this Country 'to contribute. their
efforts--Aiot. to make a last stand against the total
subjugation
