The only facts which the British Public possess
relative to Spain are, that a number of persons have
assumed regal and legislative functions, in opposi-
tion to a Government which was received and ac-
knPwledged at Madrid,. and submitted to wherever
it bas exercised its authority; that this ;elf-organized.
opposition sent Ambassadors to England, which the
English Government, then at war with the Spanish
Government, received as the p;puties of the univer-
sal. Spanish Nation ; and that in consequence a Bri-
tish army, wholly at the expence of the *kith na-
tion, hat ferfarated a number of brilliant exploits in
the Spanish territory, by which the Franco-Spanish
Government has been neatly overthrown, and the
oppOsition Regency enabled to publish its deems
over a great part of the kingdom. It is mot se! imago'
is be elect that the mids have obeyed tholi decreer a; nficts'
of their legitimate qv:arming. Thy general history of
the transactions which have led to this state of things
is curious and interesting.
Some time prior to the 2cl of May, 11108, the Spa;
nish fortresses, in virtue' of previous contracts with:
the Government, *ere pertly :ailed by French troops.
In Madrid, at the-period referred to there etas. a
Large force, under the eornenand of I.llOrtatt This
arrangement was in consequence of a secret design
on the part of NAPOLfON to plate §paisl in the salita
state of deper.dency to France that' she was placed;
in by the famous family compact of 'the Bourbons.
tTo do this effectually, it was necessary to deem
the reigning dynasty; hecanse it was an essenti4
principle to the design, that the dynasty shaaid be a
branch of that of the French. The well-known Cir-
cumstance: of the reigning French family rendered
it doubtful if the §paniSh people would acquiesce in
the arrangement ; and therefore the business was de.
veloped to them gradually. jt way trot before the
evening of the 25th or 26th of April in the year
abovf mentioned that things were deemed ripe for a
full and bold exposure to the inhabitants of Madrid.
About that time the plan, howeveh vras so far coin.'
pleted, that it was resolved to feel the public pulse
before the full devel6pemilt should be made. Now!
Reader, mark what we are going to. state.. At that
time, nor at any time before, could any publication
be printed at Madrid without the consent of a Fib'
lac officer appointed to superintend the press. We
request the Reader to keep this fact in view, and to
believe that no address or disquisition on public at.
fairs was pOlished at Madrid without the consent of
the censor. Qn the evening of the 25th or 26th of
April, 1808, an addren to the inhabitants was
'brought to a printing-office in Madrid ;in which ad-.
dress the conduct of the French towards the Court
of Spain was severely animadverted upon, and the
Spartish national prejudices emphatically asserted..
.The Frencta were at this time masters of the state
and of the ltingdom. The printers were afraid to i

printed. No one could tell hot they were distribu.

and on the public staircases, which, like those of the
Inns of Court in London, ale common in the houses
of Madrid. The, printers were arrested and thrown
into prison by the Spanish Magistfacy. They were
afterwards liberated by order of the French Comicmder,
who immediately took precautionary measures for the
effect of the MioNavelian hand-bills. Cannon loaded

ectations Of what the- soldiers might attempt
Th men were SOW and distrustful. Such was rho
state of the inhabitants. of Madrid on the evening of
she Ist of May. On the 2d the amazement had some.
:What abated; but the public expectation had not
'subsided ; and the people, conscious of not deter.
ving the military horrors with which they were sne.
naced, began to feel emotions of anger. An acci.
dental quarrel in the market place set fire to the
train. But the Spanish Revolution, so far from being
the effect of any alteration in the moral habits oldie
people; Vas owing to a sqqabble between a parceld
peasants and soldiers about lemons or cabbages.
If we reflect for a moment on the character of all
the warfare which has since been the consequence
between the French and Spaniards, we must confess
that it is dictated by the spirit of individual topic.
hension and revenge, and has not arisen from dat
simultaneous determinatiou.wbich distinguishes a re.
voletion from the spurts of insurgency.
The rumour of the RIOT in Madrid came flying
", all abroad," and growing ae it came. In Spain.
those towns in which there happened tp be no troops
took their tone from the report, and expressed them
salvee in terms that made thew dread the French—
they rashly committalheraselyes. In other places,

their arms, alarmed by the rumour crilke
RIOT, which was swelled to the magnitude of a
,414.10,
revolution. By the time that the story reached ;ilk
land, it had grown into a thing of toe univer:al *with
Nation.
The expedition of Sir loam Minas is still fresh in
the public mind. It is of no consequence to our
purpose to enquire whether the distrust which that
much-lamented Commander entertained of do; Spa.
Wish cause originated in a conviction onovezi view

equally disastrous and disgraceful to the British asal
Spanish nations. The gleam of glory, however,
which illuminated the fall of the Csencpli, deffloi
the public eye, and prevented us from examining the
series of eveuts which had given-rise to a catastrophe
that seemingly involved the fate of a Hero and of
Spain. One party ascribed the failure of the espe.
dition to the usual imperfect aliploniatic infortnation
of the British government ; and. another, to a son.
stitutionaf sensibility to difficulty in the Commeoder.
Mr. Fasts and Sir Joint Moons were alternately
Maimed. The failure was never ascribed to the Spat
Idea& #4rs Ball combatted to think that the Oran
Opsaierds were still so ravenous with patriotism, that
iliti were worryleg the French with their .very teeth,
nor having any other weapons ; and credulous him
accordingly continua to send the wins and
swords, and to strip and warn his own industriout
iamily, to clothe and feed the ladrons and shiusgitus
on the shores oh /Ugly and the Mesliterraiteili;
The first error that we have to get rid of •In the
Spanish question, is the belief of a reiniutiOn io
Spain ; and instead of talking any more of the rids
*of the universal Spanish nation, to-believe that
sever has been any thing but the petty :or
asirri
end retaliations of insurgents.
;tt spite of oor teeth we must swallow the arm%
!ions of bleropew with respect to the state of Spain
previous to or battle of Salamanca. Whether chat
eyent may oecasion any thing new, so-as to give the
war another character, is yet tp be seen. The pili•
Lary movensents that have been the conseqoeneei are
not to be confounded with any thing Spanish. the
war hitherto has been between the firth an sits
English, and all ths‘t has !lowa front the battle of
Salamanca has proceeded from their MOVOIDCD‘S‘.
After having found out that there never was say
revolutioo in Spain, and that the whole story of the
rising of the SpaniSh pinion resolvei itself into a
quarrel between a few peasants and soldiery in the
market-place—in short, that this famous contest for
rights and privileges turns put to have been hut a
squabble about lemons and cabbages, we steal/ then
be enabled to form torne idea of what the Spanish
cause has hitherto been, What it ;nay become, it
wMild be as presumptuous to predict, as it would be
absurd to send an army in order to change the In'
tional character of a whole people. But; up to the
date of the last dispatches from Cadie, we may rest
awned, judging from national facts, corrohorapa by
our daily information and the experience a( Oe We
British army, that there never has been a peinAile
of opposition to the French in Spain, which" is not
likely to act very soon as strongly egekost the 800.

The proofs of our conviction of the total want of
public virtue in the §paniard ; of that virtue which
induces a man to regard laws and **miring only, as
themeaos, and not as die end of Government, is the
history of this people from the earliest authentic
dates. Had they possessed patriotism, they never
would have required the interference of foreign go.

have submitted to have received so often their Sove.

After detailing a variety of what a seaman would
call fresh water tricks—snch as running after hogs,
eating green corn, and going out in marauding par-
ties of 20 or SO at a time without leave asked or ob-
tained, he thus concludes :

" The whole force now proceeded to Tawa town,
where we reached the day following. Early on the
morning of the 9th, I ordered the march for Rapids;
when at the distance of half a mile, it was found our
whole force was reduced to 200 men, exclusive of
Officers ; the other part of the force had refused to
march, and remained in the encampment ; scarcely.
arnan marched from the 2d battalion of Colonel Find.i

• and soldiers, refused to march. When It was•

that our force was thus reduced, I called a
cnuncil.qf the Officers to determine whether it was
one duty to proceed to the Rapids; the Council con-
!idcred that our force was not sufficient to carry the
first object of your orders into effect ; that we were
toe numerous to act as a spy party, and too weak to
carry offensive operations into the enemy's country;
dtat it would be improper and unadvisable under those
circumstances to continue the expedition. With the
tl.ca remaining force I proceeded to this place, where
I directed Colonel Findley and Major Roper to dis-
charge such men only as had continued to their duty.

refused to march, there was a sarcity of provisions
in the camp ; not three days rations of meat to each

It is now arranged that the Princess CHARLOTTE
of WALES is not to be presented at Court by her au-
gust mother, but by the Duchess of YORK.

The QUEEN, we are happy to say, is mnch reco-
vered from her cold. On Monday and Tuesday she
look an airing in her carriage. •
Yesterday the Princess CHARLOTTE of WALES, at-
tended by the-Dowager Duchess of LEEDS, left town
for Windsor.

Yesterday the Duke of Sussex completed his 40th
year. We are happy to say his Royal Highness is
recovered from his late violent and serious attack, al.
though he still feels the effects of it.
Sunday evening, between six and seven o'clock,
as the Duke of CUMBERLAND was riding in his car-
riage in Hyde Park, near the entrance into Kensing-
ton, the horses took fright, and the coachman lost all
command of them ; they ran furiously through the
town of Kensington down the road, and the carriage,
coachman, footman, and the Royal Duke, in all pro-
bability would have been dashed to pieces, had not
the servants called out to the toll-gate-keeper to shut
the gate, which the keeper fortunately heard, and
shut the gate just as the horses' heads reached it.—'
One of the footmen had jumped off, to avoid being
dashed to pieces, as he expected ; he, however, cut
his hands, and was very much bruised in other parts
of his body. When the carriage was stopped, the
loyal Duke looked out of the window in the greatest
agitation and alarm, and enquired where he was ?
He got out of the carriage, and remained a short
time in the toll-house ; he walked away r short dis-
tance, and a hackney coach being procured, he pur-
sued his journey. Although the- road was thronged
with carriages, yet providentially the horses cleared
them all, and fortunately no accident happened.
Yesterday, Mr. VANSITTART gave his first Cabinet
dinner at his house in Downing-street.
Lady ALICIA LAMBERT, youngest daughter of the
Earl of CAVAN, has bestowed her hand on Mr. PANS-
FORD DUNCOMBE, with a fortune of 020,000.
The fine property of Mr. KENSINGTON, on the
Wandsworth road to the top of Putney, is about to
be sold to Lord ELLENBOROUGH.
The Earl and Countess of Slimmest and family are
shortly expected in town from their seat in. North-
' hamptonshire.
By the death of Lord Hwenrritto, the Colcinelcy
of the King's Dragoon Guards becomes vacant, which
it is reported the Duke of CUMBERLANIAS to get, and
that his Royal Highness is to be succeeded in the
command of the 15th Light Dragoons by Lieutenant-
General Sir STAPLETON COTTON, who was wounded
at the battle of Salamanca, and has lately returned
from the Peninsula.
LLOYDS.—A Meeting of the Subscribers was yes-
terday held at Lloyd's, to take into consideration
what sum should be voted to the Russian sufferers ;
when J. MARRYATT, Esq. M.P. their Chairman, re-
commended, that, whatever sum might be voted, the
proposers of the motion would so frame it, that it
might not be made use of as a precedent on any fu-
ture occasion for subjects not connected with marine
affairs. The sums hitherto voted from' their funds
had been confined to marine distresses, with the ex-
ception of a vote to the London Hospital, which was
considered necessary from its being ascertained that
two-thirds of the patients were sailors from the river
Thames. Mr. MARRYATT admired as much as any
man the great stand made by the Russians, but con-
sidered it to be his duty to make the suggestion he
had done. It was then moved by Mr. D. CARRU-
THERS, that the sum of £lOOO he given to the fund
for the suffering Russians. The motion was about
to be carried unanimously, when a Mr. BENTLY ob-
served, that he was of opinion that they could not
vote away their funds if there was a single dissenting
voice—that the funds of that house could not be given
away by a General Meeting ; he thought they ought
to have the sanction of the Legislature' (Loud laugh-
ing.). He then moved the previous question, which
was instantly negatived. The sum of 01000 was
carried, with Mr. BENTLY alone holding up his hand
against it. —The sum of £5O was then moved to the
widows and orphans of the workmen who lost their
lives in attempting to erect a light-house on the Tus-
can Rock, in the Irish Sea ; but £lOO was called out
from all quarters of the room, which was Unani-
mously agreed to.

THE ARMY.
(CIRCULAR.)
Horse-Guards, Midi Movember, 1811.
It has been meted to his Royal Magmas, the Commas.
der-in-Chief, that in maay instances, the Officers commanding)
regiments of Militia have granted the Non-commledened Officers I
and privates of their corps, furloughs, with a view to their en-
listing men in the Counties beyond the limits allowedby the Mi-
litia Laws, which has keen found not only materiallyto interfere
with the regular recruiting of the Army and Militia, but is con-
!racy to Act of Parliament.

The Commander-in-Chief has therefore deemed It necessary
to call the attention of Officers commanding regiments of Mi-
litia to this irregularity, and to require that they do in future
strictly conform to the instructions on this head, by confining the
recruiting for their regiments to the Counties to which the regi-
ments Immediately belong, and the Counties adjacent, as pre-
scribed by Aet of Parliament :—And his Royal Highness Is
pleased to order that any man belonging to the Militia who shall
be found enlisting men in any County in which his regiment is
not authorised co recruit, shall be immediately apprehended and
placed in confinement, with a view to his being brought to trial
for a breach of orders.

General Officers in command, and Inspecting Field-Officers
and parties employed on the recrnidng service, will take care,
as far as may depend on them, that the aforegoing order is strictly
cot-plied with.

By command of his Royal Highness the Commander in-Chief,
HARRY CALVIIRT, Adj.-Gen.
Officers commanding regiments of cavalry have
been ordered to register in a book the age, size, and
description of the horses, the names and residence of
'the persons of whom they were bought, and the date
of their purchase.
Orders have been issued from the Horse-Guards
this week for the reinforcements for the regiments on
service to proceed for embarkation from the different
regimental depots.
Ensign CONSIDINE embarked v►ith one hundred re
cruits from Tilbury Fort for the Isle of Wight on the
24th instant.
Detachments from the 2d battalion of the 61st in
'lreland, and from the 94th in Scotland, are on their
march for embarkation.

The 29th regiment, 800 strong, has called in its
detached parties, and will proceed from Windsor
forthwith to embark for foreign service.
,The 7th Dragoon Guards will be replaced by the
Bays at Manchester, Son the Ist of February.
The Ross-shire Militia have received a route from
Glasgow to Paisley and the neighbourhood.
We sincerely lament to hear, that the gallant
Colonel &EMMETT has lost the use of his feet in the
last campaign in Spain. He was left witlrhis brigade
with the important charge to cover the retreat of the
Army from the Tagus, which he conducted with
great ability : upon their return he was left to pro-
tect the fords of the Tagus. The French occupied
the opposite bank of the river, with'6ooo men, and
eight pieces of cannon : he resisted this force for SO
hours with his small brigade, and killed great num-
bers, when he was ordered to retire.

FRENCH Parsonzas.—A young man, who formerly
lived in the neighbourhood of Rye, has been corn.
mitted to Horsham Jail, under the following circum.
stances :—He had been living in London until he
had spent all his money, when it occurred to him that
he might, as he was well acquainted with the coast,
raise a considerable sum by conducting French Offi-
cers upon their parole to France; and having got ac-
quainted with a Colonel and a Major at Reading,
they agreed to give him SOO guineas for assisting
them in their escape ; ISO were paid down, and the
other moiety was to be given him as soon as they
were on board the boat. They accordingly se? out
in a post-chaise, and uninterruptedly arrived at a
public-house at John's Cross, a few miles from Has-
tings, where they engaged beds. They were, how-
ever, observed by an exciseman, who suspected what
they were, and got a party of the military, who seized
them in their beds. When under examination before
the Magistrate, the young man acknowledged his in-
tentions, and said he was driven to desperation by the
total exhaustion of his finances, and that the offer of
SOO guineas was too tempting to be resisted. The
IFrench Officers have been since properly disposed of.

MA9ONIC DlNNER.—Yesterday a most superb
ner was prepared by upwards of five hundred
Masons, at the Tavern, Great Queeu-streer;
mark of respect and regard for the Earl of Motaa,
previous to his leaving the Brethren for India.
Duke of SUSSEX, as Deputy Grand Master, was
the Chair. Lord MOIRA arrived at five o'clock,
was received with enthusiastic bursts of approbation.
After dinner his Lordship took the Chair, and in the
course of the evening a valuable jewel was preseSted
to him. He delivered on the occasion a most
quest and appropriate speech. The banquet
enlivened by a military band, performing select
impressive music. Many Ladies of distinction
present, four of the Royal Dukes, and a long
Nobles, in the galleries. When all the public
of entertainment was concluded, the Ladles
drew, and the Hall being cleared of strangers,
ten o'clock, the Lodge was regularly tyledand opened.
—The Duke of Sussex then rose, and in fervent'
expressed the sense entertained by Masons of the
turnable qualities which had distinguished their Acting
Grand Master, Lord Moira, and of the esteem and
gratitude they felt towards him. He also pronounced
an excellent oration on the sublimity of this Institu.
tion, which had for its objects the welfare of indivi-
duals, and universal prosperity, which invited to
of kindness, and entitled its members to respect
which had for its basis the most anxious and
exertions for the happiness of all mankind, and ,
cated good will and benevolence to the whole
man race. Reetrring to a warm panegyric upon k
Noble Earl, he invested him with the jewel
for the occasion, and presented by the SocietrgaMread..
sons, not as a mere recollection, but to carry with
as a bright star to lead him to glory in India,
safe return to his admiring Brethren.
Thejewel, a most brilliant badge, was paraded
round. the Lodge, and finally suspended about
Lordship's' neck, who was thereupon called to
Chair, and returned thanks in a speech replete
feeling, energy, and eloquence. He would war
he said, as a monitor. sensible of his actions, to
him to spread the philanthropic and benevolent
ciples of Masonry over the vast country to whit
was going ; and concluded by relating a beat
Asiatic tale, in which a piece of perfumed earth,
beingcomplimented, replies, 41 Alas ! lam but
mon earth; but, coming in contact with a rose,
have borrowed its sweetness." Even so, he said,
bad borrowed the odours of the virtues, with the
session of which they had been pleased to compliment
him, from his coming in contact with their society.
His gratitude and affection would only cease with the
last pulse of life.—(Tuntults of Al platin.)
A great variety of appropriate toasts and -
followed this. Lord KINNAIRDp Sir JOHN
and others, took occasion to deliver their sentiments
to the Lodge, and the evening was concluded
