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. October 5. By an official note of the Dircdlory it ap pears that the army of the Sambre and Meuse have only loft fix thousand men in the whole course of the campaign, including prifonefs, wounded. Tick and deserters. And it has been reinfoced with between seventeen and eighteen thousand freffi troops, Genertl Marceau was wounded the ad com plimentary day, and hedi-d two days after.

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. BOSTON, November J. The publit c may rest allured, that the f reneh Republic are determined to re- C *R their ambaftador, and not to fend a- nother in his room to this country at lea ft for the prelent.
