We therefore propose TO bring it into one
point of view, by publishing gazette ex-
ltraordinary, which we will lay before our
readers early in the ensuing week. Let il
suffice at present to say that another revo-
luton has taken place in Spain, by which
the old king, Charles Nv. has again resum-
ed the reigns of government bu, by ia
| tality which appears to attend all the con =
tinental crowned heads, he has put him..
self under the tuition of Bonaparte, who
keeps him, the Prince IF Asturias, the
Prince ofPeace and several of the grandees,
who accompanied the Royal visitors to
Bayonne, prisoners. The grand duke of
Berg, under the authorit; of the deluded
monarch, now executes the Office of lieut.
general of Charles, in the government of
his kingdom. The intelligence upon the
whole is highly important and exhibits a
scene of treachery on the part of the Cors-
can, not equalled by any of his former ini-
Equities in his extraordinary career; which
however, it is very possible, his present at
tempt may bring to crisis.
We have received, by the Aurora, ar.
rived last night from Trinidad, the "rri-
nidad Current" of the Goth June, contain.
ing the. Official Detail from the Madrid
Gazette, of the surprising events which have
recently taken place in Spain, they Will fill
