Foreign Intelligence . MADRID, Mat iz. A signal aft, of justice has lately been .ex ecuted by theSapre.uc Authority, upon one nt the (irft prelates in the kingdom, Dsn Raphael ds Mufqucry Aldunate, the arch biflvtpof St. James de Compottclla, who, by feigning those virtues of his profeffion which he did not poflVfs, had formerly ob tained the genera! cfteeui of the public at large, and the particular good-will of the Pri xfe of Peace. However, two Canons of his Cathedral, having d tred to eoqr.irc ito his condu'C f hey ha-'t long fmcc been the butt ol his perfecotiw. I)iveiled of their situations, and compelled to leave the coun try, (one of 'hem b.is been at Paris for some montns psst ;) this severity was at ftrft attri buted to an e/cefs of zeal ; but, at length, the leprefen ration* of 'he injured parties reached the hoot of the Throne. The cause has been invefligated before the tribunals, who have unmafleed the hypocrite, and avert ged hi* viftiras. The lenience pi fled upon the aichhlfliop, enjoins, “that be shall de clare the innocence of the parties in the pul pit, and afle pardon of the public for the scandal he has brought upon religion ; that re fh.dl rc-iftablifh the Canons in their fit nations ; and afterwards be Chut up in a caflie tor the rtjmipdfcrof hisdajs.” n MILAN, Jotsn 7, The following proclamation, publifhcd at R.-tgufa, by general Lanrifton, explains the caufci and conditions’of bis military opera tions: “ Napoleon I. emperor of the French and '» King of Jlnly , Ur, “ The many concHlicps made, to the ene mies of France, had placed ike republic of .

We (inderftand that, during lord Y.rr. mouth’s fbort flay in town, he had frequent interviews with Mr. Fox, at his office, in Downing fired , a circumftar.cc which, in the opinion of many, gives some countenance to the reports in circulation. In the city, the opinion gains ground that a pacification is at no great distance. The funds ftili keed improving. At one o’clock the prices were as follows : Confols for o. peniug 6 $ r-4 a 3-8; rcnuccd 63-4; om nium, for money prices 6 1.4, and for July 6 1 "4 a i.z; exchequer bill par and 2 dif cqunt. Rumours of a frcfli alliance againfl France have lately prevailed at Vienna j but these arc Hated in an article from that city to be unworthy of credit; and we have rcafon to believe they originated in an inefteftual es. fort made by our government to induce the Austrian Cabinet to enter once more the ho ftilc field againfl: the common enemv. A letter from Rati (bon, fays, that a commu nication is (hortly to be made to the Diet, on the fubjeft of the projefted changes in the conduction of the German empire. It is reported at Hamburg, that prince Joachim Murat will cede his rsw dominions to the new king of Holland, and is to be crowned I king of Switzerland, The Paris papers to the and Dutch to the 16th inst. contain; no intelligence of any importance, except a confirmation of the capture by the British, of the island of Ca pri a spot which Aoguftus occasionally made his residence tor recreation and health, and which Tiberius difgraccd by the molt infa. moos debaucheries. The accounts from Na. plea swell the force to which the garrison ca pitulated to four fail of the line and if o o men. We have no doubt that the number is exaggerated. Capri is a good Ration for watching all operations in the Gulph «f Na ples. * If the life in the price of the funds afford ed sure criterion by which wc might judge of the proceedings of government, we (hculd , fuppofc that some progress has already been made in a negociation of peace. Among the buyers at the Stock Exchange, were some of-the known or reputed agents for the French hoafes. From this it may be inferred, that they, at lead, are persuaded, some overture has been made by the French government for pacification. The thing is not impossible. for Napoleon has obtained the complete fo vercignty of the Continent, and before he can execute any of his foreign the interdict impeded upon him by our navy must be removed by some treaty which may lull this country into a date of falfe fccurity.
