Letters and papers from Holland to The
23d inst. have arrived. 1t appears from the
latter, that the Spanish troops in Holstein
had become acquainted with the events which
have lately taken place at Madrid, and tina
their indignation at the treacherous conducl
OF Bonaparte, manifested itself in frequent
ARRAYS with the French troops The regiment
OF Catalonia, which is at Nyburg had so UNI
equivocally declared itself, that it was found
necessary to withdraw the French stationed
there The commander of the Spanish troops
is said to participate in their sentiments !;
but enveloped as they are by the legions of
france, what can be expected from them |?

at 30 900, are divided into several corps, sta
toned at considerable distances from each
other. and capable of being overpowered in

France. They furnish some melancholy in
stances OF the oppression of Prussia.
