T.fADRID, Sqjtcnlifr JB. The affair 'of 'the capture cf the two frigates at Barcelona, has been taken yp very feriouily by our government. 'EveYv one is indignant here at the event, and w* know not how to * r.'.racterit'e the. imVit which influenced the iviglifi; on this ouca fion. Our (late of warfare not permitting the king's miriiftei i to, ad Irefs complaints di reftly to the coiirt of London, they have confined themselves to denouncing the fait bv a circular letter to the- ambaiTadars of ail the foreign powers who reiide at Madrid, and to inform thfciji ot it, more particular ly the ministers of his Swetlifh majesty, whom that event concerns more than any other, exhorting him to require from the British government a fitisfaetory repara tion for the outrage done to his flag, and the punishment of the olhcers concerned. The following ate the papers jnentioned above. Circular letter to the ambassadors and fo reign ministers to the court of Spain. Sir, I have the honour to communicate to you a copy of the memorial which the king my mailer, has ordered me to fond to his miniftcr at Stockholm, in order to be transmitted to the miniflny of his Swedish majeftv. • yhfe principles which are established in it, aAd the event which lAs given rife to It, are of a nature to ihtereft all the com mcrcikl nations of Europe, particularly the neutral powers. His majelly is persuaded that your go vernment will fee tiie aifair in the fame point of view, and he flatters himfelf that it will concur in effacing, as much as pos sible, from the annals of thus war an attack so definitive of the confidence and hospi tality, of which neutral and friendly flags enjoy. I repeat the a durances oF my confuta tion and tfteeni. (Signed) CHEVALIER D'LTIQUIJO. St. Ildephonfo, S';pt. 17, 1800. Letter to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the King of Sweden. Sir, The King my msft;', has seen with the greatefV indignation, by a report which the Consul of his Swedish rmjefly at Barce lona has transmitted to the Captain-general of Catalonia, containing the declaration of Captain Rudbart, of the Swedish galliot the Hoffiiu'ng, that on the 4th of Septem ber 1-ift, in the afternoon, two fhips of the line and a frigate forced the said captain, after having examined and found liis papers according to rule, to take on jjoard Engli.'h officers and a considerable number of sailors, and to fuffer himfeif to he tnwfd at ni;;ht-fall by fever al Englilh chalo, to t;l'e harbour of Barcelona, and undo;' .he cannon of its batteries. That the English hr. ing reduced the laid captairi and his crew to silence, by holding a plflol at F.is bijstfl, got pofTeflion of the he m, ju>d made at 9 P. M. by .means of' the galliot and the chalops sur rounding it,' an attack upon two frigates u«der the Spariifh flag, who were there at anchor, who not fufpedVuig that thisfriend •ly ship concerned enemies on board, and toul-i be n 'de use of tor the most . ■ attack, were, .aken alir.ofl by surprise and forced to fur'inder. I refer you for the other particulars, and for the violence commuted by the on the Swedish Clip, to the declaration of .the captain hereunto annexed. 'The King roy master could not confi cbr that event but as interesting the rights, aid wounding the interests of all the pow ers of.Europe, without excepting England ; and above all* as the Heavicft inful to the flag" bf his Swedish Majelty. In fail, it is evident that the belligerent powers,' by admitting neutral ihips into their harbours and ports, wilhed to foften the fcourge r of war, and to prel'erve thole commercial relations between the people of difierent nations, which their mutual require. Every thing therefore thaftends to ren der the navigation fulpedted and danger ous,' injures in an dsgrze the rights and interests of all natiun-. But in the prcfe.it cafe the Tights and honour of the Sweiiiili flag have been vio lated in so ontragcous a manner, that few ■examples ol such it violation can he tour,d -iii the Naval History of Europe. The attack, if it were to remain tinpu 'nifhed, would tend to embroil two friendly jowere, annihilate their commercial relad tions, and cause the neutral flag which ' ftiould fufTer it to be confidcred as the secret auxiliary of the enemy's power, an would thus force Spain to take such mea sures as the interest of his vessels, and the fecuiity of his ports should command. Yet the King, my matter, wifics still to believe that the Swediffi captain has iiot been guilty of the least connivance with the English, and that lie yielded only to their . force and their great number. Under this fappofitiou, the King has ordered me to lay before his Swedilh Ma jeftyy this grievous insult committed against his flag ; and not doubting the rei'entment which he will feel at a procedure equally low aid diiloyal- on the part of fame offi cers of the Britrth navy, he expects that the court of Stockholm will make to the English Ministry the most serious represen tations, in order that the officers who have rendered themselves culpable upon this oc casion, be puniftied severely, and that the t j * Pri « lWt fotjriW ai-J t.

Enclosed in the above letter, was a copy of the following, from David M, Clarkfon, Esq. to Commodore Truxtun, h Dear Sir, ' I have difpitehcd a negro to Old Road as you desired, and have written captain Shaw. " By a gentleman who left Curaccoa on the 4th of September, I was inform ed the French frigate La Vengeance had gone to sea in a very lame situation, with only 165 men, and but very few leamen on board. Captain Pitot was ordered by one of the agents' of Guadaloupe who had gone to Curaccoa to use his force in compelling the Americans there to pay for the damages that ship sustain ed in the engagement with the Conftcl lation, which he refufed; in confc quence, he was threatened with arrefh tion, and to be sent to Guadaloupe— immediately he made every reparation to the ship he possibly could, and went to sea in a very crippled state; since when, I am informed /he has been ta ken and carried into Bermuda by a Bri tish 44, in a very wretched situation, as is also the British ship.
