SPAIN.

The private letters from Lifbon mention the arri-
val there. on the t ith intl. of accounts from Spain,
Rating that the infamous plot again(} the Prince of
ASTURIAS had not fucceeded to the extent intended
by its bale and unprincipled projeaors. The Procla-
mation
of the King of Spain, which we yeflerday
inferted, notwitlifianding the doubts entertained by
many of its authenticity, was really genuine ;
and its publication appears to have been very
fhortly fucceeded by an infurreaion at Madrid. In
confequence of this alarming event to the prevailing 1
1 influence at the Court, a Counter Proclamation was
iffued, in which it was declared, that on due inquiry
it had been found, that the Pt ince of Mho ias had had
no perfonal concern in the plot ; and this declaration
appears to have produced the defired effea, of canting
the popular ferment to lublicie. His Royal Highnefs
was in high favour with the people ; but their Op-
port, we fear, will ultimately ptove of little avail.
The French army, which, according to former ac-
counts, bad • arrived at Salamanca, bad taken the
route to Madrid, and was Ihortly expeaed to reach
that city. Betides this force, the Spann army which
was lately'at Badajos, were alto in full march for the
Spanilh capital; fo that the public opinion st ill (hardy
be let at defiance, as well in Spain as in every other
country curled with the domination of the Ccrfican,
and the devoted Prince of Aflurias will, we fear,
prcve to have received a fhort relpite only, of his
unmerited fate.

It was finally fettled tin We lneftlay ha, at the
C'uncil at the Q.Leen's lioufe, that Parliament is to
meet for the difpatch i f butincfs • n Thuifday the
of January.

Yellerday evening the infant daughter of Lord
