It is said that King Ferdinand has written to the King of France, to inform him of the critical situation of his kingdom. Two French couriers arrived yesterday at St. Ude ions*: one of them, it is said, brings orders to all the French in the service of the King of Spain to return immediately to their own country. On the arrival of these couriers, the Chief of the French Staff set out post for Madrid. The King is expected immediately in this capital. I The Junta of Public Safety sits permanently at La Granja. The Superintendent of the Police has not )et arrived here. It is observed that the soldiers of the Royal Guard, in barracks at St. Ildefonso, have abundance of money ; they are seen to play at Petit Palet with piastres. Many persons think they can easily point out the sonrce and the destination of this corrupting money.

By BONINGTON MOUBRAY, F.sq. " Mr. Mosibray's little book on the Breeding, Rearing, and Pat ; ping all kinds of Domestic Poultry and Pigs, is unquestionably the most practical Work on the subject in our language. Th-. Au thor's aim seems to have been to avoid scientific detail, and to con. v.y his information in plain and intelligible terms. The conve nience of a small poultry yard —two or three pigs, with a breeding low—and a cow for cr eam , m ilk, b utter, and cheese—in an Eng le:li country house, appeals indispensable; and to point out how these may be obtained at a reasonable expense, seems to have been -dr. Moubray's object. By adopting the plan of his work, any Lundy may famish their table with these luxuries at one-third of the price they are obliged to pay at the markets; and the farmer and breeder may render it a sour ce o f cons iderable profit."— Farmer's Journal. /Cr The chapter on Brewing may be had separately, to complete the former Editions, price is.

HAPPINESS " the gay to-morrow of the mind" is insured by marriage; "the strictest tie of perpetual Friend ship," is a gift front Heaven, cementing pleasure with reason, by which, says Johnson, " we approach in some degree of association, with celestial intelligence." Previous, however, to entering into this hallowed obligation, it becomes an imperative duty, not only to regulate the passions, but to cleanse the grosser nature from those impurities which the free. dom of unrestricted pleasure may have entailed upon it. To the neglect of such attention, are attributable many of those hapless instances which, while they excite the commiseration of the be holder,should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach. ' Luxurious habits will effeminize the body—a residence in the tropics will relax the elastic fibre—but more especially doeithe premature infatuation of youth too frequently compromise the na tural dignitl into a gate of inanition, from whence the agonized sofferer more than doubts the chance of relief. To all such then, we address ourselves, offering hope, energy, muscular strength, felicity; nee will our advences appear questionable, sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of en years' successful experience. The easy cares of married life are sometimes disturbed by the suspension of those blessings which coucentrate the nuptial wreath —for the female habit is often constitutionally weak—yet it can be straigthened, and deficient energy improved into functional power. In every ccse of syphilitic intrusion, as well as in every relaxation of the generative economy, we pledge our ability to cure speedily, and with effect. Earnestly solicitous to expel the unfeeling empyric from the position so presumptuously taken up, we deviate from general principles with less hesitation ; and confident in our own honourable integrity as Members of the College of Surgeons, we refer the su ff ering community o f e i t h er S ex ( es p ec i a lly th ose entering into matrimonial life) at once to our house, where daily attendanse is given for personal consultation ; and letters from the counts y ar e immediately answered ; these must contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part of the world, however distant.

Price ss. TOLOSA, AUGUST 24. The letters from Vittoria of the 22d of August give reason to fear that the same disposition prevails in the province of Alava as in Biscay. The number of per sons devoted to the Carlists is stated at 8000. Arragon does not enjoy perfect security. Letters from Saragossa to the 17th announce a fermentation, and say that Bessiares seemed to be taking the road to that province. It is affirmed that the Trappist has founl means to escape from his convent, and that he had taken .the field. According to the report of travellers coming from Old Castile, the agents : of rebellion reckon upon 50,000 men in that province, where arms and ammunition have been long in reserve. Galicia, commanded by a declared absolutist, M. Eguia, cannot fail to follow the torrent. Other travellers who have come from Madrid say, that they heard, as they passed through Burgos, that two regiments had raised the standard of revolt at Co runna and Ferrol. If this news is confirmed, the expe dition preparing for the Havannah is rendered abortive. People tike to believe, and we. partake this opinion, that the Infant Don Carlos has no concern rn the com motion; a hick are already excited, and are preparing in Spain ; I.e is put forward, and his name made use of without his participation. As soon as there was an appearance that his Catholic Majesty, in conjunction with his natural ally, was resolved at length to put an said to the disorders which have afflicted Spain for some time past, and unhappily for these two tears—men, whose violence and excesses belie their character, have tint hesitated to tay that it was necessary to exterminate even the last ri those men who have desired reforms. The following is extracted from a private letter " BAYONNE, AUGUST 23. I , The 4th Regiment of Light Infantry, end the 24th Regiment of the Line, are encamped at Mame: not any other troops have as yet arrived, and it is currently reported that the regiments destined to 'form the en campment, and actually on their march, have received orders to halt, to await farther orders. This city has at present five Generals ; one of Engineers, one of Cavalry, a Lieutenant General, and two ajor-Ge nerals of Infantry, with their Staffs, complete, inde pendent of the General commanding, and the Staff attached to the Garrison. On Sunday last they passed in grand review the whole of the regiments composing the camp and garrison, viz. the 4th, 24th, 52d, and 55th ; their . appearance certainly was highly creditable, and received the merited encomiums of the inspecting Generals. It does not appear probable that such a number of General Officers would assemble here, unless it was decided to concentrate a considerable force. Every arrangement is made for the reception of troops; a little doubt is still entertained, that in a few days many regiments will arrive; in fact, the present state of Spain absolutely demands such a force to be in rea diness to march in aid, in case of necessity, if it be the intention of the French Government to complete what they have certainly left in an unfinished state. 64 The party of Don Carlos (surnamed Charles the Fifth) gains ground; in neat!) , all the provinces they increase in number. At Saragossa they ale in great force. At Seville (as you will have heard), by the vigi lance of the Police, a plot in favour of Chalks has been discovered, and above two hundred persons have been arrested, and conducted to prison. Don Carlos is completely the dupe of what is termed the “Junta Apostolique ;" and in the event of succeeding, the Spaniards, would, perhaps, be (.1 possible) in a worse situation than at present. It is his attachment to tl e priesthood which recommends him to favour. At An tiqueras, three thousand mu- kets, destined for the re volters, have been seized ; at St. Sebastian, the gi eatest consternation prevailed, in consequence of the disband ing of the Royalist Volunteers, and the requiring the deposit of their arms in the arsenal. This object has been completely eff cted with the assistance of the French garrison, and order seems, Ix the moment, to be restored, although they continue in the night to post placards of a menacing and inflammatory ten dency; about forty persons have in consequence been arrested. Sr. Ander, Bilboa, Vittoria, and Burgos ex perience continual slight disturbances, and it is reformr by a most respectable source, that General Bessieres is at the bead of about 600 cavalry, and has declared himself in favour of the new plot. In Madrid all is confusion, money (some few pieces) has been struck with the image and superscription . of Charles V. One was shewn to the king, who was greatly enraged, and sent for Don Carlos, threatening him with banishment ; Don Carlos, not in the least dismayed, replied that the Nl‘nisters were the cause of all the evils which tied be fallen the country, advising his Majesty immediately to dismiss them, amid recall to the exercise of his forme: We have been permitted to publish the following extract from a letter, dated Lima, March 16, from a Gentleman whose itrelligence and judgment wide it to the fullest confidence. It will, perhaps, serve to give some of our readers a more sstisfactory view of the character of the Liberator of South America, than they have had an opportunity of obtaining from any o.ber source : Had General Bolivar come to Peru instead of St. Martin, vast loss and misery would have been saved. The profligate, rapacions,„cruel, and treacherous cba- . teeter of that chief and 'many of 11!: followers, pro longed the struggle in this country, aliegated many from the Patriot cause, and occasioned the loss of thousands of lives. After the reins of Government bad fallen into the hands of the imbecile Torre Tagle, and his intriguing unprincipled advisers, the country soon fell of course, by their weakness and treachery, into the power of the Spaniards, who, .tutored by misfortune, and led by some able men, were practising that line of conduct which tended to give. them not' only the power, but in a considerable degree the confidence of the people, deceived and disgusted with those who had come to protect them. • " After Peru was thus again thrown alma wholly into the hands of the Spaniards, the arrival of Bolivar began to revive the hopes of the patriot party. The Re public of Colombia poured out her whole strength at his dispos.il, and though his united force was - greadi inferior in numbers to that of the Spaniards, this infers. ority was compensated for by the superior bravery and enthusiasm of the troops. This is one of the qualities of most of the Colombians I have , seen—they have ell the enthusiasm, the fondness of praise, the vittue,and the vanity of a youthful, warlike, and successful people. rn the combined army of Colombia and- Peru , raja mans foreign officeri of great bravery, The confidence and admiration for their leader is extreme. It ir impossible to flatter them too I ighly, and they in turn' are not sparing of their compliments. ° General Bolivai, as he is always called; the Libera tor, is forty-two, ab3ut five feet seven, and slender in his person, and, as the " hero of the Equator," which the Americans call him, might be supposed to be rather dark in his oompiexion. His countenance always of a serious cast, yet, notwithstanding the mustachio on his upper lip, not ferocious, as many represent him—his eyes, dark hazel, ate expressive and penetrating. In early life he travelled through Europe for his please& —he reads English, but does ne t speak more than a few words. Ft ench he speaks fluently, though not correctly. Apologizing one day for my imper:ect knowledge of French and Spanish, he said, ' 0, no matter—never re ' gret it—your own fine idiom is the only one worth speaking—all. that is liberal, all that is noble, is to be found in that :it is the language of liberty.' He talks a great deal, and with apparent frankness, and without premeditation. Ile seems fond of social life, and never balks a party by going away prematurely. On two occasions I have been with him in large parties—one at a ball and supper, where he stayed from eight in the even ing till five in the mot ning, talked the whole of the time, at supper gave toasts and made speeches, and after supper 4anced a waltz with a handsome girl. At a breakfast on Washington's birth-day, the. day he-se. hosted for his viit to the frigate United States, silfcts lasted from 11 to 3, he gave seyeral toasts and speeches, in one of which he exalted the United States as infi nitely surpassing every nation of ancient and modem times, in knowing how to:unite the most entire liberty with the most perfect oril: r, intelligence, liberality, Sic, 'a His ambition appears to be of a lofty and fine de scription.' He wishes to go down as the asserter and founder of South Amertcati independence, and, satisfied with an ample fortune, di-dains all accession of wealth. He refused, with sonic contempt, the vote of the Pe ruvian Congress, granting him a million of dollah; having made it his pride, from the beginning, that he would not carry away , even a grain of sand from Peru. His favoutite projects ate a canal across the Isthmus, and the establishment of a Congress at Pa nama, to consist of a grand federative Council, to de cide on all disputes between the different States, to have an army which they will call out, when either of the States, or any foreign Power, commits an ag gression. The idea, however, seems visionary, bat it is his favourite scheme. Af,er settling the affairs of these countries, and establishing their peace and indepead *rice, it is his wish to travel through the United States and England, for both which countries he has a high 'admiration. His enmity against the Spaniards, nou rished in the bloody war of Venezuela, is irreconcile able. All his connexions were murdered by them, ,except an old uncle whom he has in Spain. I "Though everything has depended on his energy and talent, yet many able men have been formed under him. Sucre, who gained the memorable battle of Ayacucho, one of the most conclusive tbst ever was fought, discovered, as the Spanish Officers admit, and as General Mounet told me, the highest de gr ee f skill and promptitude. His previous dispositions were ad mirable; The enemy were neatly double ; but be seized the critical moment for attack, and, said Mounet to me, we lost Peru in half ar. hour. General Salem,
