SPAIN.

It was reported ye(lerday alternoon that TALLfY.
Rama and BERTHIEK had arrived at Madrid; and
that a column of French troops had alto entered that
city. Letters from Madrid of the sth inftant were
faid to have hated the faft, but we have net been
able to learn that any perfon has aftualiy feen the
letters alluded to. Our Readers already know
that it was Rated at Bilboa on the t4th infant,
that a French army had entered Portugal ; but that
report e..ntained no allufion to TA LLEYKAND or Belt-
THIER. it there men be really at Madrid, it mull be
inferred that the objeft of the revolution in that city
is complete, and that they are gone there to orga.
nize a new fyllem of Government.

The Spann Confpiraey remains (till as myllerious
as ever. The account of an inforreetiin laid to have
taken place at MadriJ, and repeated in a letter from
Lisbon, is not credited by the principal Spani(h
boufes in the City. The general opinion among the
moll intelligent ;:raniarcis in London is that (Le re.
cent confpiracy at Madrid was not formed againft the
life of the Kitsc, !)::t againft that of the Paisca of
the Placa. This opinion kerns countenanced by
fame of the late Lifbon letters, and it certainly de-
rives a %nit probability, from the known rpulaiity
of the KING among the Nobles, and all olalfes of the
people, prove the nriiveifal odium that attaches to the
charafter of the PRINCE of the FFACE, in conk.
qtrience of his art ogance, his ir:jii!tice, his profligacy,
but particularly his notorious devotion to Bose,
PARTE. Of this nopoptilariv 6e PRINCE Of the
Ps ACs el (Ili not be ignorant. .74 iny of his enemies,
who were of great rank in the Rate, were open and
avowed. Their fent;cnent 5 were undifguifed that to
him was owing the calamity and degradation of the
country, and that if he ceafed to reign the confe-
(pence of Spain 'nigh: yet be teamed. The Nista
of the PEACE was foliy aware of this. It is foppofecl
that he had log; kruwn of the progref: of a confpi.
racy againft him, but that be bad .:.strived to pet.
made the KING that it was ?evelled at his perfon, in
order thus to render the defiralion of his own enc•
snits mote complete, and to involve in that deatuc-

tion the Prince of ASTURIAS, the great oval of his'
confequence, the great obfiacle to his ambition.
Such are the obfervations of thole who are well ac-
quainted with the charader of the King of SPAIN and
the Prince of the PRAM and certainly their obferva-
tions teem reafonable; for how can it be fufpeded that
Spaniards would confpire to let afide a weak man of
known good intentions, rather than point their rage
at a wicked man, who had made him an.inarnmentfor
the accomplifhment of objeds univerfally odious to his
country. The dearudion of the King would not, we
apprehend, have led to the immediate fucceflion of
the Prince of Asruatas, and the ellabl;fhment of 4
new fyltern of admini&ration, if the Panne of the
PEACE bad futvived, and the confpirators mull be
aware of that. This man has not to long adhered to
BONAPAR rE without looking for his reward, and the
nature LA that reward is univerfally fufpeded in Spain.
But let which will be the moil probable opinion, the
effe6ts are likely to prove equally fatal in their con-
fegtiences v., the reigning family.

A well-known native of Ireland, whofe name we
do n It think it proper to mention at prefent, who a
few years ago made a dillinguifhed figure in our
falhionable circles, particularly thofe chiefly occupied
in play, and who was among the prifoner• at Verdun,
cont'ived to obtain leave to vifit Paris, where he has
rendered himfelf fo acceptable to the French Govern-
ment, that it is faid he has aaually been fent upon a
feeler million to Vienna. It is confidently rumoured
that it is the intention of BONAPARTE to eolith as
many of the LA together as he can, who are fpread
over different parts of the Continent, in order to atria
in his long meditated attack on Ireland ; and it is
fufpeeled that the above mentioned perfon has been
fent to Vienna to promote this defign. particularly
as there are two or three other Irifirmen in that Ca
pital who are not unlikely to embark in any defperate
cnterprize.
