Letter* from Madrid fay, that orders are
publirtied to the different corps of the army to
Burch, fome toth<* camp of St. Roche, before
Gibraltar, and othere to the frontiers of Poriu-
Jil. w
We are allured that General Solignac, chief
of the ftaff of the armv of the Interior, is about
to repair to the army of Italy, with the greater
number of his officers.
They wine from Madrid, that the king of
Spain has puhliffied an edidf, by which he or
ders all the Freneh emigrant priests to quit the
capital of Spain, and the other royal reiidences,
jndto remove from them 15 leagues at lcaft,
and so leagues from the different ports of the
kingdom. An order of the cabinet was at the
fame time puhliffied, commandi-.g all officers
of the Marine to join their lefpective corps,
and not to leave them without an express” per
niiflion from theircommanding officer, which
is only to he granted in cases of the moil ur
gent neceflity. The levy of troops is like wife
icprefted ; the regiments are completing, and
an order has be n publiffied for the different,
corps of the army to move, one towards the
camp at St. Roche, and the other to the fron
tiers of Portugal.
They took at the fame time a nvafure corn
men enough in England, but which, till now’
was never used in Spain. In the night of the
j.h of August, they made at Barcelona, a gene
ral impress of the bailors in that port, and ffiut
them all up in the fovtrefs. A similar opera
tion took place throughout the whole province.
All these movements, which are the fore-run
jierS of freffi wars, announce to “France anew
series of battles and misfortunes.

HALIFAX, (n. s.) October 22.
Wednesday arrived here captain War
ren, in a lehooner from St. John’s,
Newfoundland, in 21 days paftage. Cap
tain Warren informs, that on his way
here he touched at the Bay of Bulls—
that he found that settlement burnt and
destroyed, and fome of the inhabitants,
who had fled to the woods, had returned,
and were endeavouring to put up small
huts to lheiter them from the winter.
Among the vefiels ceftroyed at the Bay
of Bulls, was a valuable brig from Lon
don, which had touched there, and had
not difehargad any part of her cargo.
She belonged to the house of Hill & Cos.
NJo accounts had been received at Sr.
John’s of the fleet having been at any
other principal harbour of the illand, or
of their having done so much damage as
from their force might have been ex
pected. They have destroyed a number
of bankers, and we do not find that they
have preserved any of the vefleis which
have fallen into their hands. At St.
John’s they have been under noapprc
henfion of an attack troin them, though
every measure had been taken by Sir
James Wallace to give them a warm re
ception, Ihould they have the folly to
attempt it. Upwards of 4000 men have
been embodied there for the defence of
the place. Capr. Warren also informs,
that intelligence had been received at
St. John’s that the Quebec fleet had got
fafely through the Streights of Eclleille.
A flag of truce with a number of per
sons who had been taken by the Freneh
had arrived at St. John’s. Capt. War
ten lurther informs, that 14 days ago he
spoke a fhallopfrom Feriland, and learnt
that another vcllbl had arrived at an ad
jacent harbour, with a number of mas
ters of vefiels and others who had been
prisoners on board the admiral’s Ihip.
-By this veflel they were informed, that
seven fail of the fleet had gone into St.
I.awrencc harbour, in the bay of Pla
centia, and that they were expecting the
teturn of two of their Ihips, which had
been detached to the northward, and im
mediately after their rejoicing the fleet
it was supposed they would quit the
coast. They had been into St. Pierre’s,
and had burnt the church and govern
ment-houle, which had been left stand
ing.
