In 1767, the Spanish Empire viewed the Jesuits as too close to the papacy and nobles in the lands where they were based. They also disliked the universality of the group. The Catholic Church had become very powerful, and monarchs started to view it as competition for power.

Jesuits combined Catholic beliefs with Huguenot beliefs?
The Huguenots were the French protestants. The Jesuits were formed primarily to combat the protestant heresy. I don't know where you got this idea, but some of the stuff on the web for Huguenots and Jesuits suggest that the two were bitter enemies, and that the Huguenots were responsible in some way for the suppression of the Jesuits. Either way, there is no way that the Jesuits ever combined Catholic beliefs with protestant beliefs - that would give a lie to their whole reason for existing.

What is difference between Jesuit and other Catholic beliefs?
There is no such thing as a Jesuit or Dominican Catholic. They are all Catholics. A man who discerns a vocation to the Society of Jesus, started by St. Ignatius would become a Jesuit, he remains a Catholic. Likewise, a man (or woman) who discerns a vocation to the Dominicans would become a Dominican Friar (or Sister) but remain a Catholic. Jesuits and Dominicans are two religious Orders within the Church. Jesuits have two main vocations: to teach and to preach the faith to non-Catholics. Originally, the Order was founded to fight the protestant heresy. The Domicans were founded as an Order of Preachers, they were originally founded to fight the Arian heresy. Needless to say, the Dominicans have been a little bit more successful than the Jesuits, when was the last time you ran into an Arian vs. a protestant?
