SPAIN. 
The rays of reafon and true religion 
begin to difpel the gloom of fuperttition 
andignorance, which have fo long had 
their abode in this country. , The moft 
intelligent part of the Spanifh nation, 
weary of the impofitions of monks, and 
the abufes of monaftic inftitutions, loudly 
call for the removal of them. Though 
niuch is expected, nothing material has 
yet been done officially with refpeét to the 
monaftic reform, except a decifion, that 
the number of monks ihal! be confiderably 
diminifhed, and the Jay-brethren fent 
into hofpitals for the care of the fick. 
DENMARK. 
A new tarif has been ufed at the cuf- 
tom-houfe at Copenhagen, from the firit 
of Apriliat. ‘The prohibition of .mer- 
chandize, formerly contraband, is taken 
off, except on forcign fugars, glafs (ex- 
cept fquares for windows), painted por- 
celaine (except china imported by the 
India company), packs of cards, roafted 
coffee, and fome forts of Indian goods. 
The impofis are fimplified, and better 
proportioned. Permiffiun is given to des 
pofit all kinds of merchandize in the 
fea-ports, without paying the duties, and 
even all contraband articles in the towns 
for exportion. All oaths are’ abolifhed, 
and certificates and promifed. fubftituted 
penalties, on prevarication, are mitigat- 
ed, but thofe now decreed are enforced 
with vigour. 
PoLAND. 
How will the high contraéting parties, 
who divided this unfortunate country, 
regard the following meafure of the 
Commander of the army, of Italy ? 
General Buonaparte is faid to have 
writtes to Count Petccki, formerly am- 
baffador from Poland at Conflantinople, 
to engege the marthals of«the diet of 
1791, to repair, as foon as poflible, to 
Milan, and to fummon ‘there alfo the 
principal members of thar diet. 
before this letter, feveral of the Poles, 
who performed an important part in the 
laft infurreétion of Poland, had gone by 
way of Paris to Italy. The army of the 
French Republic is now the rendezvous 
of all she Poles, who have not yielded to 
acowardly defpair, renounced their per- 
fonal liberty; and ceafed to expeét the 
refurrecticn of their country.
