MADRID, JANUARY 11. - five hundred.. thousand teals (250014 part of the loan of Gliebbard. have arrived at Madrid, and been deposi ted in the Royal Treasury. His Majesty, by a Decree of the 7th instant, orders that all Officers not included in the new organization of the army, shall immediately receive a month's pay, to return to their homes. The same Decree recommends to the liitenclants• of the Provinces the greatest punc tuality in the payment of the sums allowed to those Officers.—By another Decree, his Majesty has re.tored to the town of Tatiffa a considerable octroi (duty on goods entering the gates), to assi,t it in repairing the losses which it sustained by the invasion of the Consti tutionalits on the 3d of August last year. By a Dec.ee of the 18th of December, his Majesty has the offices bestowed by the Viceroys of our Ame,ican possessions till the clay when the Consti tution was published there. His Majesty also confirms) the military employments conferred since that time. Blessr-. Larrumbide, Villagomez, Marin, and Pnig„l Councillors of Castile, who wete escluded at the begin ning of last year, have alteady been teplaced ; the three ) first had co operated in draWing up the new plan of public hist; uction : the last is one of the oldest Magis trates of the nation. M. Bermudez, by the aid of M. Ugarte; daily obtains a mote decided ascendant over his colleagues. For some days past his Majesty has given no private audi ences: he refers all the applications made to hitn_to M. Zea.—Madame Erro, whose husband, Ex Minister of Finance, is still in exile at Valladolid, has again ap plied to his Majesty to obtain per mission for him to re turn hither. The King answered that this permission would be soon granted, but that the time was nut yet come. The Council of Castile is engaged with a plan for changing the seat of some of the Courts of Jostice in the kingdom, to afford the inhabitants of the pro. vinces, iaa the resort of these tribunals, greater facilities in carry tag on their suits at law. The courts of Navarre, Cazetes, and Barcelona are included in these changes ;. they will be removed to Olito, toPerida, and to Reus. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 26, 1825. THE FUNDS.

German Papers to the (20th instant reached us this forenoon. The following ate extracts : HANOVER, JANUARY 14. The information which has been collected within some years past, respecting the incdne of the Protestant livings in the kingdom, having proved that on the one hand the clasacation of the Protestant livings, ac cording to their incomes, resting almost exclusively on., the original foundation, requires a rectification, because, in process of time, through the altered prices of things,4 &c. it has undergone modifications, which in many cases do not correspond with the extent of the livings; ' and that, on the other hand, not only the number of livings with small endowments is too large, in propor tion to the better - ones, but there are even some, on the present incomes of which no Clergyman can subsist, without being much distressed in his ciicurnstances. Now, that these evils may be gra.lually remedied, as far as the existing means will allow, his Majesty, our most gracious King, has been pleased, by a general plan for the improvement of the Protestant livings, sanctioned by him, to make the following regulations ; • All the Protestant livings in the Kingdom shall be divided, according to their income, into three pi incipal classes, each class rising 300 dollars above that below it, and each class to be divided into three subdivisions, diftering 100 dollars from each other, as far as the un certainty of the receipts depending on casual circum stances will permit. To this end, from Ist Ju1y,11321, all Protestant livings • which were at that time under 300 rix dollars, shall be raised to that value by a fixed increase, to be paid out of the public treasury, either for ever, or at least until they can he joined with - neighbouring parishes. HANOVER, JAN. 13. His Majesty, in order to ameliorate the condition of the Evangelic Parochial Clergy, has ordered that they shall be divided into three classes, each of which is to have three subdivisions, in such a manner, that the mini mum of their income shall he from SOO to 4.00 crowns, and the maximum from 1100 to 1200 crowns. COLOGNE, JAN.I6. _ _ The Klienish s ,West India Company has exported by sea, up to the close-of the navigation in 1824, goods to the value of 2,286,120 dollars. Of this sum, the Prus sian dominions, for their part, lbout a million and a half of dollars, and the Kingdom of Saxony half a million. The ex poitation of 1824 alone, was 950,000 dollars. Papers from the United States (including the Journals of Philadelphia, Baltimore, and New York—the latter of the date of January Ist) have arrived ; they reached Liverpool by the Colombian racket. Their contents are very unimportant. The bill granting 200,000 dollars in money, and township in land, to General LA rAYarre, has passed into a law. A general impression prevailed that JACKSON would be the new President. On the subject of the forged news of a pretended defeat of BOLIVAR, which made so much stir last week in London among the ignorant or inconsiderate, we ex tract a few paragraphs. The following is from the Colombian Sentinel of the 25th of December:—" The reports from South America, received at the South,l continue to represent BOLIVAR as victorious. We can only say, that the letter from Panama, inserted in our last, of an opposite aspect, is from an ardent son of li bel ty and a respectable character." EBOM THE EVENING POST, DEC. 28. AFFAIRS OF PERU. _ _ _ ' 4 One of those impositions which we have had fre quent occasion to expose, relative to the state of affairs in Peru, was attempted on Wednesday last in the Boom ten Sentinel, and caught at with an avidity here by some of our cotempot at ies, which could not fail to create some suspicions that they secretly rejoiced at what they were pleased to term disastrous intelligence from the Pa triots in Peru.' We allude to a letter published in the Boston :Sentinel, said to have been received from a Correspondent in South America,' and purporting to be dated Panama, October 30.' in which the writer gives an account of a battle said to have been fought' near Truxillo, on the 17th of last month,' which termi nated unfavourably for Bolivar, who had retreated to Guayaquil, and chat Canterac had entered Colombia. Independent of its not appearing that any vessel had arrived at Boston, by which this pretended letter could be received, we were satisfied, from the circumstance of its being stated that the disastrous battle was fought near Trnxillo, that the whole was a fabrication. It has been established beyond the. possibility of dispute, that in the beginning of August last, Bolivar left Truxilla, at die head of his army, in order to attack the Royalists; that on hearing of his approach the latter fled, but were overtaken at Junin on the 6th, where an engagement took place which proved fatal to the cavalry of Can terac, the whole having been killed or taken prisoners; that the Royalist infantry continued its flight, pursued by the Patriots; and that on the 31st of August, Boli var entered lluancayo, in Upper Peru. The intelli gence of the victory over Canterac, which reached us towards the end of November, was so conclusive and satisfactory, that the Commercial Advertiser, which had previously expressed doubts as to the successes of the Patriots, acknowledged its conviction of the truth." FROM TILE BALTIMORE ADVERTISER, DECEMBER 28. " THE FABRICATED NEWS FROM PANAMA.

Nothing can be more ridi culous than the idle gossippings of some of the French Journals on this subject, and Ireland and India are sig nificantly mentioned, as if our empire in either could be wrested from us by a Royal Ordonnance or decree s The Etoile, in a recent number,--says, " none of the 'treaties about to be concluded by England, can stipulate the exclusion of French commerce from these States.' Had the Editor consulted the documents laid before our Parliament in March last, he would have seen that our Government distinctly disavowed all exclusive pri vileges. In the conference between Mr. Secretary CAW wine and Prince de PoLIONAO on the 9th of Oct. 182.3, Mr. Secretary :CANNING distinctly stated, that one consideration with the new States, would be that of amity and commercial intercourse; and that " in those respects, so far from seeking an exclusive pr eference for British subjects over those of Foreign States, England was prepared, and would be contented to see the mother country (by virtue of An amicable arrangement) in posses sion of that preference; and to be ranked after her equally with others, on the footing of the most favoured nation." Again, in the dispatch from Mr. Secretary CANNING to Sir Was. A'CoURT, then our Ambassador at Madrid, dated January 30, 182-1, Ire says, " for hcrself, Great Britain asks no exclusive privileges of trade, no invi dious preference, but equal freedom of commerce for all." Nothing could be more distinct or more honourable than this avowal. The German Papers have at length began to mention the subject. One of them, received this morning, contains the following remarks: 44 The recognition of the independence of Colombia and Mexico by the British Government, I eing an event of great importance, both in a political and commercial view, has excited great sen-ation here. Ii seems, at first, as• ii England had departed from the graad system, to main tain which it was not, indeed, united with the great Continental Powers by treaties, but had, in fact, recog nize 3 its wisdom.

Abont a yeir ago circumstances strongly resembling those related in the letter were then 'aid to have occurred, and perhaps the Editor of the Sentinel may have, through mistake—we would not accuse him of design—received and published the old statements ss matters a recent occurrence. This, it is true, is a mere conjecture of ours t the commentary which accompanied the letter proves that the F. Thor had some knowledge uf his subject, and such a small , matter as the mistake of a year might readilybe excused." THE• - ARMY. . WINE AND SPIRITS. GENERAL ORDER. Mass GUARDS, JANUARY 14, 182.55.
