MADRID, (Spain.) 27
'Tis without foundation that the foreign Papers have said, that our Lord Grantham, the English Ambassador, had received orders to leave the court, and that the Marquis d'Almodovar would be recalled from London: which indicated an approaching rupture between the two courts. Never was the English Ambassador treated with so much respect as at present; and we know for a certainty, that the Marquis d'Almodovar not only has no thoughts of leaving London, but there are positive proofs to the contrary.
