MADRID, NOVEMBER 5.

The day the King addreffed the following Decree
to the Governor, ad interim, of the Council of Cathie :

The voice of nature unnerves the arm of ven-
geance ; and when the offendei's want of umfidera•
tion pleads for pity, a father cannot refufe Wining
to his voice. My fon has already declared the authors
of that horrible plan which bad been fuggefied by the
evil minded. He has laid open every thing in a legal
form, and all is etaftly continent with thole proofs
that are required by the law in fuch cafes. His con
fafion and repentance hate diaated the rentonftrances
which he has,stddveffed to me, and of which the fol
lowing is the chief :

Strange as it may appear, the French papers ap—
pear, however, to confirm the report brought by the

Cartel.
, A Meirenger, which arrived at Bayonne, the 14th
of November, brought the news of the PO= of

Amnia. being fet at liberty, and made Genera-
liflimo of the Army deftined to Portugal ; that NA.
roLaoN had fent him the Grand Cordon of the
Legion of Honour, and that his liberation had pro-
duced great joy at Madrid, where his carriage had
been drawn by the people in triumph, followed by
acclamations. The whole affair appears flill to be
very myfterious.

The French papers contain a long article as a
commentary on the KING'S Declaration, and which
hems to be *German produaion—or rather, perhaps,
to have been publilhed originaUy in that language.
It was fiat noticed in the Publicille of Paris, on the
rth and 12th November, and finally in the Monikur
on the 23d. Thefe obfervations are fuch as might
be expeaed from the enemies of England, but they
lofe much of their inter& from the latenefs of their
arrival.

The Emprefs is returned to Paris. The Emperor
is laid to be gone to Italy, and there is to be a grand
meeting of his Kings and Princes at Milan. Pre-
parations are making for his reception at Venice, and
every where. It is Paid that his Holinefs the Pope,
the King and (teen of NAPLFS, the Queen of
ETRURIA, the King of BAVARIA, and the PRINCE
ROYAL, are all to meet the Emperor at Milan, but
not a hint is given of the object of this Miraly of

Sovereigns.
A letter from Hamburgh, in the Afonikur, (late',

General WALLERSDORI, apprebentive of the fame
fate, has fhot himfelf.

the trial of the above Generals for ligning the Capi-
tnlati•rn of Copenhagen, are Prince PREDERICK of
HESSE, Major General Count BANDISSIN, and M.
Vol; Btv z ER. The Auditor General, RuSENSTAND,
is Aeillary.

Yefterday a Cabinet Council affembled at the
Foreign Office, at two o'clock, and continued fitting
until half after five. The Members prefent were, the
Earls of WES I'M .RELAND and CAMDEN, Lords:
flawassaurtv, MULGRAVV and CASTLISP•GH, Mr.
CANNING, and the CHANCELLOR of the Excrisqyta.
At half after (even ye flerday morning, Mr. PaouD•
MAN, one of his Majelly's Mcifengerb, arrved at the

A Mellinger alio arrived from Ruflia. The in-
telligence he brings is not yet known.
The Cartel from Spain brings accounts that ark
late Commandant of Buenos Ayres, whom fhe car.
tied to' Spain, has been reinflated in his ArnerieNi
command, for which he will Coon fet fail. -
The Suffix American fhip arrived yeßerday in the
Liver from Havre, after a very fhort pattage. Ac
cording to the late Orders of Council, the is not per-
mitted to enter any of our ports, except under a li-
cence. Her arrival here, however, fufficiently proves
the fallacy of the report frequently mentioned, and
Cr late as yefterday reported, that an embargo had
been placed on all American Teals in the French
ports.

Three Ruffian Gentlemen, who were in Chatham
Dockyard, for the purpofe of acquiring knowledge
in the art of fbipwrighting and rope-making, have

ly, and orders given that they fhould not again be
admitted into the dock yard.
The Channel Fleet, under the command of Lord

The Alban cotter, from off Lifbon, which is ar-
rived at Falmouth, fell in with, on the 25th intl. the
outward.bound Well India fleet, which had been
very much difperfed in fume heayy gales.
Among the number of the unhappy fufferers in
the Bjreas ftigate is the fon of S. HEMMANE, Efq.
Metier Attendant at Chatham Dock Yard ; he was
a young officer of very promifing abilitie,, and would
moll probably have been an ornament to his pro-
fellion.

Lord BOYLE, a rung man of great expeelati9n,
fon of the Earl of GLASGOW, ferving on board the
Gramma-Ai, was, about the month of July lafl, cap-
tured by the French. He bad taken charge of a
chafe maree prize to Gibraltar, and was fleeting for
po►t, when he fell in with a French flotilla, againft
which he maintained a very gallant aSion before he
was overpowered. Several of his men were killed,
but we are happy to hear that he fuflain:d no injury.
The asth ultimo, was the day of th. grand Fete at
Paris, on the return of the Imperial Guard.

A triumphal arch was ereeted at the Barres
Vilette, under which they were to enter the city, de-

to pr-tent to them crowns of gold, voted to them by
the City of Paris, with the content of the Elusion.
Thefe crowns of gold will be prefented to them, and
to be placed on the Eagles of the different corps.
After this they were to march in rand proceffion
