USB9N, Jt;iv to

Olt. the 22d of this month there was a melan_
chair Proclamation Of the -melincholy Peaceith
Spain._. Since then vur General;the Duke of Fo E N ES,
has been recalled.with the, respea due to his rank
and his age, and the Count PE Gotzrz, A Prussian
General, has been appointed in his stead : it is
hoped that he will restore that order to the Army
which iz so much wants. The Secretary of Mar-.
shal-General StocxEli, who is as skilful in Mathe-
matics, as he is the reverse in military affitits, has
also resigned. In a word, .there seems a disposi-
tion to repair former' errors. It is feared ,they will
be t ot• late, 'and that the French Will sake posses-
sion of: the territory _which the SpaniaidTs have
conquered, and which they ofii,fdby -this-4IMe to
have evacuated-. The greatzsti.difficulty:i‘qhieh
either the French or Portugueze Occu_
. pying thuse Distrias, is the lamentable scarcity
which exists.

We have received here the Spanish account of
the viEtory 'of Sir JAMES SAIIMAREZ-; it differs
but little- from the English account, which we also
received on the zzd, at the time, they were pro-
claiming the Peace ; it made us illuminate with a
little more pleasure. We-are still ignorant of the
Conditions- of-the -Peace with Spain. Our Packet
Boats constantly sail with a Flag of Truce. A
Frigate from Newfoundland, under English colours,
has arrived here : no regulation has hitherto been
announced respeding Armed Vessels.

The Englist'Packet Boat, the Pr;llce Adolphus,
arrived here in five days ; it brings an account of
the English secret Expedition,. There is -a rumour
here, that the English have taken possession of
Madeira, with 1200 men.
