SUMMARY.

Our private information from Eu-
rope is in great measure superseded
by that which is contained in the ga
zettes. There are, however, some par
ticalars of which we are in possession,
that do not appear in the newspapers.
Among these is the fact, that the king
of England, is in state of mental de-
rangement, and that it had been de-
termined TO form regency, at
the head of which were to be the
queen, the prince of Wales and the
duke of Portland. The propagation
of parliament which had taken place
on another pretexr, was in reality &C.
casioned by the kings misfortune, time
being wanted to organize and settle
the sheme of the regency. The rever-
ses in Spain had everv where spread
among tie people of England the most
gloomy sensations, they having been
led to expect the most happy result
from the Spanish contest with the EN-
peror of the French. The war a.
gainst the Spaniards was not popular
among the subjects of Bonaparte /, yet
he seemed to care very little about
that having an immense military force
at his command, and directing every
thing agreeably to his individual will.
Some persons INDUCED the idea, that
he would never return to France, CO..,
ceiving that the Spaniards wop,.a find
means to assassinate him. lhe hes,
Z troops of the Emperor toad NOT reach
ed Spain at the I..tter end of Novem.
Der. A gentleman who resided on
the bo..nevard's the chief street i'll Pa
r'', for several weeks, remarks, that
there was not day during the whole
period Of his stay, but roops OF he
line composed OF the finest looking
men imaginable, were continually pas

health and spirits, and not In the leesi

in order TO display them To the inha-

make the people forget the horrors o
war, by introducing into all ccuntriet
which had been conquered by his arm
