serious, took place, a few-days since, between the
Director of a certain place of public am usenient,
not twenty miles south of the Thames, and one of

quence of its being reported thilf the latter had
decamped. The parties had, in the first place, a set-

MADRID AFTER. ITS RESTORATION

" The many and important events whiCh have
passed in this capital from the 10th inst. to the

shed throughout Slain, the allied nations, and
every part of the world where virtue is not a mere
name; at the same time that they draw forth
groans of fury and despite from the heart Of Na-

Aun. 10.—" As soon AS accounts were received
of the battle of Salamanca, syniptoms of inquie-
tude and perplexity'were` observed in the whole
Court of Joseph Napoleon, in consequence of the .
total rout of the.army of Marinont. The alarm
and (bead which this occasioned in the French
-and their: partizans, were the, greater',
.as they
hada blind _confidence in their' strength,. conceiv- •
in their troops to
,be invincible, notwithstanding.,
the Many defeats they had stiffered in Portugal and
Spain:
This prejudice being thus eissipated, the per-
turbation and c.onfasion in which they were suf-
ficiently spewed to the inhabitants of this capital
the real 'state otaffairs; which they in vain endea!,
voured to conceal. The public joy was manifest-
edtori all sides. The report of thezreat event was ,
speedily circulated amongst the patriots, and
.the
police was in despair, seeing that all their efforts
to prevent it were in vain. In vain they emploYed
threats—in vain they doubled their spies--in vain,
they filled the dungeons with patriots--:in ;vain
they circulated reports which nohodybeliete(Oe'-.
cause they circulated them. Common faMeioo.n.
Made known the death of the .uirs'fial, and the
struction of his army; and even "the lowest of the
people were acquainted with the news.
Thedeparture, or rather theflig,htof.Toseph,
his-Court, and partisans, !having- been determined
in repeated councils of state, it chanced. that
about six in the evening of the 9th, some sot-
diers; who had been stationed to observe the
heights of Guadarrama, gave notice that,Aher
saw English battalions descending them.
sternation immediately spread through the pa,
lace,—orders and counter-orders were given,---!
and at length it was finally determined to leave
the city at six 'in the morning of the 10th. This,
anticipation increased the disorder of the fugitives.
In the greatest confusion, the immense convoy of
the intrusive,Government was collected. Mown.-
ipg and' lamentation spread through all the houses
of. their partisans. Sonic sold their movables
for half their value, or 'What 'they could get ;
others gave them to be kept by their friends ; and
others asked that favour from the insurgents them-
selves, whom but a few days before they bid
looked 'on with disdain. They turned into money
r! all they could save of the wreck of their property.
. Unfortunate ftigitives! they were not yet ac-
quainted with the French ;. they did not yet know
that the. money and precious effects, which they
had with so much difficulty collected for their sub,
sistence on their journey, woald shortly become a
prey to the.rapacity of the troops which escorted.
them. Many were robbed by their escort,!before
they got half a league from Madrid. In fine,!..they
departed at ten in the morning, covered with cis,:
grace and.opprobrium ; and accompanied by flue'
public execration, and their own. remorse.. Tli6.
populace of this capital were the joyful spectator
of the -exit of this caravan ; and distinguish-ed
themselves by theirprudence and tranqUility ; and.
with a noble generosity,, even pitied the misfor.;"
tunes of.those who had so grossly insulted' and op.:
pressed them. -
AUGUST 11.—" Arribas and Augeulo, Ministers
of Police to the pretended' King, came to Madrid
on the 10th ; the former with a large escort, and
the latter accompanied by three soldiers ,of
Manco's. Both went 'off-at five in the Morniug',of,
this day with the remainder of the French troops.
It is said, that the obj.ect of their coming was to
burn certain papers!, and to save some effects whiel;
in the hurry of their retreat they had neglected to
carry .way..

AUGUST 12.--The French gar,rison shut itself
up in the Retire. From this time the: shops were •
opened which had‘been'Shut up for 2 days,"from the
fear• which all had of the proceedings of French •
on similar occasions of'coufusion; and this capital
began to respire, after the slaVery by which: it had
been oppressed.. The inhabitants giving themselves
up to their joy,.-manifested by their languagei and
embraces, all that flame Of
.patriotisih which they ,
bad been so long obliged to conceal. In the 'af-
ternoon, the allies hegan to
,ente-r, and from that
tune the public joy knew no, b9unds. The people
of Madrid appeared one single family. Friends,
known" and unknown: without difference of age,
sex, or Condithin, conversed and embricceff, giving
, mutual pledges of the liberty the) had so anxiously
panted for. The arrival of the-first English, Spat-
nish aisd Portnguese officers ,and soldiers, raised
this joy to the highest pitch.... Never did ' anck
people manifest with so much -cordiality and energy
their gratitude to their deliverers. D tring' this
and the following days the acclamations and viSsai
which hailed the cohquerors of Salamanca never
ceased one minute. The troops of the three na7
• tions, and the inhabitantS of this great city, em-
braced' each other, without distinction, and ap-
peared—what they really are—a nation of bro-
thers. The doors of all the houses were seen in-
stantly, adorned, as if by enchantment ; and
every thing contributed to prove that the in
habitants considered this day as the Aurora of
:Liberty.
" Brave and generous Allies ! you met MA'
with, at Madrid, the solemn pomp due to rani.'
triumph, but the people manifested to you their-
beart,---thatlieart as. constant in adversity, and'.
