CAL4Z MAIL.

TARRAGONA, DEC. 18,—Marshal MACDONALD
has been recalled trom the command of the French
troops, and a few days after his arrival at Gerona,.
set out' for France: BUONAPARTE, but little Wis.-
lied with the results' of his operations, which, in
reality, have not been more fortunate than these of
his predecessor, AUGEREAU; Ilse given the come
mans to his brother-in-law, Prince BORGRESE.
The first care of the new General was to send a
convoy to the fortress of Catalonia, in which he has
employed'all the fresh reinforcements be has brought.
fiat the public spirit of the principality continues in
all its vigour. The army has been recruited with
16,000 new soldiers, whom the example of their
.companions in arms will quickly make veterans,
and the advantages obtained since the end of Oc-
tober, maintains enthusiasm and patriotism.

MADRID, Dec. 4.—The intrusive Government
continues to exact, widi the greatest cruelty, the
contributions imposed on thii tows, and some

persons, for nor having paid them, have been con:-
:duCied to the Retire; but bSEPH has exempted from
it the hou,es of URGLUI.IO, BRANCHEVORTH, and
others which aro poor, charging their quotas to'the

remainder.
Having lately taken 10 Spanish cavalry' which
bad deserted, a council of war. was immediately held ;
it contented itself with prntittg the chief to deaih,
and sending th..! remainder to F:.ance. Orders have
been given to thosis living in the vicinity of the
Setiro to 'quit their houses; with what objea is

not known,
In the palace there are many ehests,packed up for
France, we are, assured' that an nidgle:catrip of
Josern w illy tk'ike charge of thern, and. that he will
be accompanied by part of the household, The
other preparations for a journey ore dissimulated,
and at the same time it 1-$' said, with an air of nays-
t,,ry; this Riser!' is preparing to stn oot fur Video.

killed the sentinels of the Freneh, who dared not
move from their quarters. The Patriots have
likewise lately carried off from Guadaxalara, cloaths,

there having been marched towards the said chr a
French battalion of infantry, with two pieces of

artillery.

They say the plague is in Andalusia, and the
French magnify the destruaion it causes; but not-

been issued by JO‘IEPII, ordering all the olive trees
in the roads leading to the same to be cut down,
under pretext that they afford a rrtreat Ip the bri-

. .
This morning, we received Cadiz Papers, from
which we have, made copious extracts. The most
important article they contain is one which sillies,
that Marshal MACDONALD has been recalled in dis-
grace. BuostsrAllTE now, ft seems, thinks himself
strong 'enough to destroy the men by whom he has
been raised to power. BRUNIZ, JUNOT, AUGEREAU,
and MACDONALD, have all been disgraced ; and
MAssasrs, if lie is not successful, will be made the
next sacrifice.

The Norge has arrived at Plymouth from Cadiz,
which place she left on the oth ult. The only news
she brings is, that a detachment of nine Battalions
had been made from the Arr'ny before Cadiz.

The Opposition Writers, with their usual con-
sistency, sometimes pour forth invectives against the
present Ministers for what they are pleased to term
clinging to office, and at others assert that it is the
intention of his Majesty's Ministers to tender their
resignation as soon as the Regency Bill is passed.--
If the present Ministers were either moved by the
illiberal attacks, or influenced by the insidious ad-
vice of their opponents, they would ill deserve the
confidence either of 'their King or Country. His
Majesty's 'Ministers will not tender their resignation,
because .they could hot do it withottf a grois dire-

fiction of their duty and of the trust reposed in them: !
They were Wypointed by his IVfejesty. ; they possess
his confidenee, and, as far as we are able to judge,
they possess the confidence of the peOple: they
are not, as'Mr. SHERIDAN confessed that Lord
.dRENVILLE'S Adminiitration was " an unpopular
Administration." Upon what ground then could
they justify thdmselves to their Sovereign or to the
nation, for abandoning the trust reposed in them ?
Ills Royal kfighnots the Prince of WALE 9, when
invested with the pnWers Regent,'will of course►
exercise his own 'judgment .upon the propriety of
dismissing or retaining his Leather's Ministers, under
all the circumstances of the case; but these Mini-
sters would act most reprehensibly, in our opinion,
if they were to tender their resignations. 'A majo-
tity of both "Houses of Parliament have constantly
. .
approved of the principles of the present,. Adminis-
tration ; and .during the discusstOns upon the
Regency, notwithstanding the, very extraordi.•
nary exertions that have been made apinit
them,; their meas)ires' have n,et with the: -sauce
honourable sanction;' how ihen could they justify
themselves to those majorities fur abandoning a cease,
and deserting principles so sopping' There is,
indeed one and only one ease in which the present
Ministers would be excusable in resigning their
offices; but as we are sure it is quite impossible that
ease can occur, we think it unnecessary to say any
ihing upon:the subject.

A Protest has beenisigned by nine Peers, " against
the rejection of Lord KING'S moiion for omitting
.the name of JOHN., Lord &not, as one of her MA-
JESTY'S Council." The arguments used in this Pro-
test are the same that were"urge'd by' Lord GREY, in
his Speech, viz, that the Lord• Chanceor;in 1804,
took his' MAJESTY'S COIDOlanClo upon public business
at n period when, according to Doctor IhriEßnales
account, he was not absolutely restored to health.
Froni what felt from Mr. WuntnnEab 'last night,
we may conclude that this subje& will undergo a
ft.illihveoigatiatl, and therefore it is not necessary to
discuss it at present. -We shall be glad to see an in-
q.u,it'y instituted, because we think that there can-
not be t lie slightest particle' of doubt upon the hub.
ject. We think it right, however, to 'observe, that
this Protest is not signed by Lord GRENVILLE, Lord
SPENCEE, or the lyltrcjuis of LANSDOWNE. We are
also gratified to find that' it IS not signed by any of
the Royal Dukes. His Royal Highness the Duke
of Yoax, it appears from the Paper:; of 1 804, saw
His MAJESTY ,almost daily, and the other Princes
had frequent interviews, with HIS MAJESTY : they
mast therefore have known whether be *as, or 'was
nut, in a state of health competent to transact husi-
oe4s. The circumstance therefore of their not join-
ing in this Protest, appears to us at least a decisive
proof, that in the opinion of their 'Royal Highnesses
the conduct of the LORD CHANCELLOR was pefectly
justitiablc.

The particulars of the dreadful rivi;saere which
took place at Quito on the ed of August are already
belore the public; but we have received a Trinidad
Payer, containing subsequent accounts, which shew
that the scenes of bloodshed were not closed where
the former. narrative 'ceased.—"ltimiettiately after
this bloody St. Bartholomew's," observes the Tri-
nidad Paper, ‘! the nobility of the country were in-
,avited to assemble at the GovernMent *House, tO con-
gratulate them sin th,4 not having been coutpre-
heeded in'the conspiracy, but they were shot to a
,man, by the troops who' surrounded the Govern-
ment House, who were then ordered to disperse
through the city, and put man, woman, and child,
to the sword, which was literally obeyed. It is
computed that 700 persons were murdered upon
this OrCasian ; among whom is, the Marquis Du
SELVALAG3R, a man of great science, to whom
HUMBOLDT was indebted for all his information re-
spetting that country.
It. appears further; that this bloody project had
been concerted •with the Viceroy of Santa Fe, to
whore the Governor of
,Quito had immediately dis -
patched an express, to acquaint him of the success
but the Junta of Santa Fe having intercepted the
dispatch; the Viceroy was apprehended, tried by -
law, conOcted,.and executed.
i• The news of this terrible catastrophe Was
brought. to the Cal'aCCill% ►by the young Marquis of
SELV 1.11014 The effect it produced on the Cara-
quenos was instant and unanimous—a cry of ven-
geance against the Eurepeaoi pervaded all parts of
the.city and province—moany of the principal Eu-
•ropean- inhabitants were%imprisoned„, and,
.in the
fist moment of indignition, the expulsion of every
European was- resoived on.; but the Junta, always
prudent rtr thrirttrtermitittiolis; lave, we are id-
formed, confined that order (With few exceptions)
to the .Bairebuiti6, who have been ordered to quit
the prOvincein six days; and the same decision has
also been taken at Barcelona and Cumana."
We have received a series of Barbadoes (Papers to'
the 23d ult. at which date the malignant fever
which had proved so fatal to the inhabitants as to
throw almost the whole island into mourning, had
entirely subsided. It is very remarkable, that during
the prevalence of the fever, the troops enjoyed their
accustomed health. Rear-Admiral Sir FRA.Nelli
LAFORRY, successor to Vice-Admiral CO'dilliANi on
the Leeward bland station, arrived at Barbadoes on
the Ist nit. on board the Dragon, the flag-ship.--
Admiral LAPOtIRY was immediately to assume the.
command; and lions his ataivity, independence of
'mind, and cpnciliating manners, there is no doubt
but that he will be a very popul r Commander-M-
