This day the ROYAL FAMILY Will remove to

The continuance of BRUM the French Ambas-
sador to the Porte, at Constantinople, after the de-
mur on the part of the GRAND St EGNO R to acknow.
ledge the Corsican Uaurper as Emperor of France,
is a strong proof that the latter thinks it necessary
to put some restraint upon the impetuous arrogance
of his temper. If he did not begin to conceive that
his pride and injustice !rave excited universal in-
dignation, the least hesitation on the part of the
ottoman Court to recognize his usurped title and
authority would have kindled the utmost fury in
his mind, and have induced him to order his Am.
bassador to return immediately, that he might pro.
pare measurei fur the most signal vengeance.

It is to be hoped, that the. KING of PaussiA Will
feel his own dignity too much, to be silent under
the violation of Natidnal Faith which the. French
Rulers are going to commit in publishing the Papers
belonging to Sir, GRORGit RUMIIOLD,. as Represen.
tative of the British Government. To have litre.
rated the person of Sir Geonci is not enough ;
Every thing respeaing him ought to have been
placed in nem too, and even then, the French Po.
moment would have enough to do to vindicate its
gross outrage against the Laws of Nations, and the
Rights of Independent States.
PONAPARTE, no doubt, thinks to conciliate the
Roman Catholics, and bind them more securely. to
the interests of his usurpation, by procuring the
consecration of the Pore himself; but this degra.
dation of the Head of their Church cannot but fill
them with pity towards the venerable Pontiff, and
with horror against the -man who has forced him
from his Country, at his age, at this period of the
year, and for so detestable a purpose as that of
anointing a Murderer, who once made a merit •of
abjuring that'very Religion of which he now pretends
.to be the most zealous advocate anti supporter..
Letters frotn Madrid, by the Lisbon Mail,
mention the following particulars, which evince the
Tyranny of the Corsican to be as great at Madrid
as at Paris :—On the 6th of November the news of
the capture of the Spanish Frigates by our Cruizers
reached Madrid ; and on the 'same day our Mini.
seer, Mr:Tata*, had a long conference with the
Prince of Peace, who is said to have acknowledged
the justice of the explanation given on our part, or,
at least, of having connoted to put off a final deter.
ruination ontil further explanation was'obtained from
the Spanish Ambassador at our Court. On the 7th,
in the evening, a French Courier brought. Bono.
YARTE'S Charge d'Affaires, M. de VAUDRIttit% a
note, which was delivered. the, next day. itt lite
afternoon of that day, the Prince of Peace invited'
Mr. Fit rkg to another conference, when the lan.
guage of ibis peaceable Prince breathed nothing but
War, or the demand of a aatisladion, as impertinent
to be asked on the part of Spain, as it would have
been degrading on the part of England, if consented
to. On the 9th, Mr. Fortte had anotrer conic.
rence, in which he was informed, that the actii 3114
try the eonference of the day before were the 14M.
matum of the Spanish Court ; he, therefore, on the
loth asked for his passes, which, as we have stated
before, were sent him on the lath, The note de.
livered by the French Charge d'Afiirts is said to
be written in such insolent anti .thrratening„ lan,
guage, 'as would have been unbecoming in an Official
Correspondence between the Usurper and one of his
Slavish Prefefis, 'Twenty-four hours were only
allowed the Court of Madfid to determine between
a Rupture with England, or immediate War with
France. Degraded as the Spaniards •have become,
by their conneelion with Revolutionary Tyrants,
this new insolence and humiliation', is reported to
be severely felt by the proud Dons, who murmur
loudly, and call for vengeance against the ignorant
and contemptible favourite, the. Prince of Peace,
who has reduced them so low by hid wealeneasa ava.
rice, ambition, and incapacity.
Vie may judge .of the feelings of the People of
Holland from the condua Qt the Dutch Admiral
towards, the Offiera of tire Re»Sasay.—lf the unfor-
tunate Hollanders were not disgusted beyond all
patience 'by their. French oppressors, the Dutch -
Admiral would not hive ventured to testify so, much
humanity towards the English, lest he might Offend
the Military Ruffians from France, who are
spread over his country, and who watch every lo'ok;
that may drew any•disconien't with thei(lot, or arty
partiality towards Englishmen.
