The Morning Star, Captain Lewis, a cartel, saild
from Plymouth on Thursday last, with seven frencs
Captains, who had their passports from this court,
to return to France : they proceeded to Morlair, it.
tending to land at that place, but as soon as the vessel
neared the shore, she was fired at by the battery, and
the Captain of the cartel went to the shore in his boatl
with her papers ; he was not, however, permitted to
land, but was otder3d to sea again immediately, On
pain of being fired. into from the batteries ; and the
vessel returned again to Plymouth on Saturday last,
with the seven French pri)oners :—they would sot
allow a letter to be received from one of the French•
men, though it was addressed to the Chief Magistrate
of Morlaix.

SPAIN.
A letter from a Spanish port, dated the 6th inst.states
that a deputation of Spanish Grandees had bczn4„
patched by the new Government to Bayonne, them
to communicate to BONAPARTE the wish of that Go. -
vernment that the French troops should be withdrawn
from Spain. The result of this missior must deciiivtly
unfold the views of BONAPARTE,
A letter from Bourdeaux, brought by the same con.
veyance through which we received the details of the
late Revolution at Madrid, states, that BoNAtasrt
was, on the Ist of April, within nne stage of Bout.

A Gentleman is arrived in town from Selz
Hle,
which place he left &a the `ld of April. He consrms
the accounts already stated of the revolation ; and his
statements tend to support the opinion of those who
are willing to believe that the late revolunonhas been
effected to save Spain from the yoke of France,not to
bring her mote decidedly and immediately under her
dominion. The people, he says, in that province,he-
lieved at least that this was the character of the grqt
'event that had taken place. They considered the new
Ministers as-patriots, from whom salvation was to be
expected. In St. Lucar, especially, the populacc nA
held public rejoicings, bull feasts, 8:c. The friends
and partizans of the late omnipotent Minister were .
hooted and hissed wherever they appeared. In the
mean while, that unhappy favourite lies in a vile pn- !
son, destitute of the common comforts of life, proba•
bly about to atone for his real crimes by a punishment
as illegal as the acts of his own administration. We
wish we could doubt the issue of this revolution. Spain
lies already entangled in the snares of French intrigue,
or will speedily be vanquished by an irresistible
mill
Lary force.
The following letter from our Correspondent A
Gibraltar throws a little inowe light on the events that
have recently taken place iu Spain, but, to enable ur
to form a correct judgement, we must wait for fat thq
accounts

" GIBRALTAR, APRIL 5.
gg If you have not received the accoluns of the late
events at Madrid, the inclosed Decrees may be very
interesting.—[See the STAR of yesterday.]
gg The circumstances which immediately led to the
abdication of the KING and the fall of the PitiscF.
the PEACE, as far as we have been able here to learn
the particulars, were the following :
" On the Fah March, intelligence was received at
Madrid, that MURAT and DUPONT'S army were a('.
vancing with forced marches from Burgos for the
capital, which excited considerable tumults and ap'
prehensions. A demand made by BONAPARTE, that
Spain should cede the whole of the country to the
eastward of the river Ebro to France, tended farther
to convince the Krso that he could no longer reign
in that country tither with safety or honour ; and he
resolved, by the advice of the Prince of the Pr.tcx,
who was anxious to save himself and his wealth from
French rapacity, to set out for Cadiz, and .from
thence to proceed to South America.
46 On the night of the 16th, all the Spanish guards
and their flying artillery were ordered to Aranjuez
to protect the King's retreat if necessary. The Coo•
cil of Castile was asseirbled to deliberate on the ma
