The following passage is in a letter recd this day from the Consul of the U. States at Falmouth in England, dated Novr 26th.
"A vessel arrived to-day from Lisbon, and the master reports that at Madrid the populace would not permit Lord Bute to-depart, and that the Spanish and French ministers at Madrid had been insulted. I have no other authority than the master of the ship, who says further that the House of the Spanish minister was burnt, but I can hardly think its true."
