The accounts by the CRANE are in substance that
a dreadful insurrection had taken place at Madrid ;
that upwards of 10,000 men have been killed the
contest, and that the utmost confusicu cer.ilnued t•
prevail.
By this vessel accounts have also been received
which state, that the sec:,nd in command of the tern.
bined fleet at Cadiz was assassinated on the Id inst.
at the Theatre there ; but whether a Spanish or French
Officer is not stated.

The fleet in Cadii consists of 12 sail Of the line, 1
frigate, and a brig.
Having already noticed that the above atceunts
from Spain are not later than those brought by the
SUPERB, we need hardly add that probably they con-
tain some eiaggerations. The accounts from Paris,
which we published on Monday, stated, that the
French troops had triumphed in the contest; and)
we are sorry to say, that most probably this will prove
to have been true, and that all this blood has been

THURSDAY, MAY
ASCP !MON Dar.—No butilless done at the Stock Etclarge.

Dispatches were th:s morning received at the Ad.
miralty from Lord Cou.mowoon, dated in the Me-
diterranean, but they are not thought to cdittain any
thing very important.
The TOWNSHEND packet carte in eleven days from
Gibraltar, not three weeks as, stated in the first ac-
counts received yesterday morning. The accounts
she brings respecting affairs in Spain are not later than
those we laid before our Readers on Tuesday, but
they detail some particulars not then stated.
The CRANE schooner has also arrived at Plymouth
from off Cadiz, with dispatches for Government.—
She left our fleet on that station, consisting of eleven
sail of the line, on the 9th instant, all well. Pre-
vious to her departure, dispatches had been received
by Admiral Putvis, direct from Cadiz, containing
some details respecting the Insurrection which took
place at Madrid in the beginning of the present month.
We have received several letters by these vessdßs,
and have been favoured with a perusal of some ethers .
they are unanimous in stating that this event was
accompanied with great slaughter, but, as might be
expected, they differ in their particulars, as the differ.
ent writers have viewed the transaction through dif-
ferent media. The following is the general substance
of the accounts from Gibraltar •

policy of NAPOLEON to get as many hestegcs in his
power as he can.

The Gibraltar Chronicle mentions what has been

known for some time : that the Toulon and Roche-
fort squadrons had landed some French troops at
Corfu ; Ind an article from Milan of the 3d April,
prohibiting the wearing of cockades of a new colour,
believed to have been circulated in Italy on counter-
revolutionary principles.

Private letters state, that upwards of 60,000 of the
inhabitants of Catalonia were under arms, and that
an intimation had been made to the Governor of Gi.
bralta, that with the aid of 20,000 British. troops, and
100,000 stand of arms, the Spaniards would engage
to expel the enemy from their country.

Saturday morning, the honk 0r si V. oriszs, at Hares, in
Kent, was robbed in the following extraordinary manner. When
Miss (Issas, daughter of Sir VICART, awoke in the rimming,
she discovered that all her cloaths were taken away, the
quilt off the bed, and every thing that was portable in the
room. Oa examining the premises, it was discovered that the
robbers had, by tying some hurdles together, made a ladder
and ascended a colonade, which goes round the house, found
easy access to Miss G.s .room, and made off with the proper',
without awakening her. A large stick was left upon the bed.

44 On the 2d instant General /dunAr (Grand Duke
of Berg) entered Madrid, and intimated to the Infant
DON ANTONIO, that his presence was necessary at the
conferences about to be held at Bayonne, between
BONAPARTE and the KING ; and that it was expected,
he would issue a proclamation declaring him (Murat)
Regent in his absence. To this the Infant answered,
That he had received the Regency from the King
his nephew, into whose hands only he would resign it;
and that as the duties of Regent of Spain were in-
compatible with a journey to Bayonne, he should re.
main at Madrid.' MURAT, finding the Infant im..
moveable in his determination, cricred a large
body of troops, which he had a few days before with-
drawn from Madrid, to re-enter that city ; intending,
as is supposed, to seize the person of Dort ANTONIO,
and to declare himself Regent. The inhabitants
having got intimation of it, and being alarmed
at the return of the French, collected in the
streets, attacked the French army with vigour and
resolution, took their cannon, which they turned
against them, and drove them out of the town with
great slaughter. It is supposed, that at least 10,000
persons lost their lives in the conflict. The French
force was originally 80,000, and rivulets of blood were
running through the streets. When these accounts
came away every thing was in the greatest confusion,
and nothing further had transpired."
The Governor of Gibraltar received some further
accounts about two hours before the Townshend's
departure, which were brought by her to England.
Admiral PURVIS also, commanding the fleet off
Cadiz, received dispatches from that port a few hours
previous to the Townshend falling in with him, which
