The late accredited Spanish Am bassador at the Hague, the recognized representative of CHARLES IV. has been permitted to leave his post, and is come to this country. His Excellency, it ap pears, refused to recognize Don JOSEPH NAPOLEON as King of Spain, acknowledging FERDINAND VII. only as his Sovereign.

It is the -Cf,AUDTA frigate which has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope with dispatches of the 29th of December. She was sent home very unexpect edly, and was directed nor to divulge on her arrival the cause of her sailing with such secrecy. We have ascertained that Some dispatches intended for the French Governmenthad been intercepted by one of our ships - trnizing off the Isle of France, which were found of cOnsiderable importance; they state that a very valuable' fleet of ships were about to sail for France from thence; to ' intercept whieh,. Admit-Al Bends had employed the whole of his disposable forte' at the Cape, and very sanguine expectations'- *ere entertained that the fleet' would 'be fallen 'in with by them. Lest this •precstution',..however; might be fruitless, the Admiral, with that juagmem for whieh he is so celebrated, sent a fast-Itiling - slap with 'the intercepted dispatches 'to England, for , the purpose of conveying the earliest intelligence to the Admiral ty.

The Earl of WALnEOItAVE, anxious to pay the last . tribute of regard to the memory of a la mented brother, attended on the occasion, as Chief Mourner, together with his brother-in-law, Mr. MICKLETHWAITE, and other friends. It most have been highly gratifying to his Lordship to have seen a number of his tenantry voluntarily come forward to mark their respect and attachment to him and his family by joining the possession in deep mourning. • Yesterday morning, at ten o'Cloek, the remains of Lord OKI ORD were taken from his house in Bruton street, Berkeley-square, in a hearse, accompanied by some of his Lordship's relatives and friends, in two mourning coaches, and set out for hii seat at Wol taton, in Norfolk, where the body will be interred in the family vault.
