The owner of the Sbip Daniel, a South Sea Whaler, and the first Vessel sheathed with the Patent Copper (the manufacture of which has since been Improved), has had a letter from the Captain of the Ship, dated June last, stating, that he had had an accident with the Copper, which had obliged him to careen the Vessel (but, excepting the accident), the Copper was as clean and whole a; when first put on. Mr. Mushet will be glad to receive orders for his Potent Copper, and to wait on any Ship-owner to give explanatiors as to its quality. Royal Mint, 22d Nov. 1825. FROM A PRIVATE LETTER. The Duke del Infantado came to Madrid last night, and immediately called a Council of Ministers, Which sat four hours. There are many reports respecting 'he objects of this Council; the most generally credited at present is, that his Excellency had to discuss with hii colleagues a long list of removal of persons high in office, some having served under the Constitutional Govet nm-nt, and others suspected of being more or less implicated in the affair of Bessieres. However, I can hardly believe this report, for it would be the first time that the Council of Ministers had remaved any func tionaries whatever. Prudence commands that our au thorities should continue to be watchful of oar levolu ionists, H ho from time to (One manife-t in some places their ancient projects. 'Thus ten or twelve have lately been arrested at Salamanca, who met privately evely evening, and were taken in the fact. . They met at. a farm house out of the city, and have been taken to Valladoid to be tried. It is said they transmitted, through Portugal, to London, thecorrespondence of our ex Constitutionalists with their brethren who have taken refuge in that city. c.,!.): iiuw•ard (itt the AntelLan tiaviee), Mr. GLADSTANG the Alacrity, Mr. S.

SPAIN. ➢ROM THE JOURNAL DU COMMERCE. The news f rom Madrid .% rich has beilt last received, reaches to the 10th of November. The embarrass ment of the Treasury continues to be extreme, and M. Peralta, who has replaced, ad interim, the Tieasurer- General, M. Soret, will not probably be ab'e to find the means of meeting the first instalment of fifteen millions, which the French Government seems resolve I to insist upon in re-imbursement of its advances. 'lhere was much talk in Madrid of a No ewhich had been ad dressed to Fortign Powers, informing them that the change which has taken place in the Minittry will have no effect upon the system of government, which will continue to be always the same. This information is indeed very consolatory. We stated yesterday, upon the authority of tl:e Memorial Bordelais, that the ship the Guardian Angel and its cargo have been confiscated by the Government of Peru. From advises received by the Louisa, we AuuusT 20.—it is now certain - that a Commission of Inquiry into the state of this Ciilony has been deter mined upon by the B-itish rverrimenr, and that the Commissioners may shortly be expected here. We have heard the name of one among those appoin. ed, and that is Colonel young, who administered the Government, of Trinidad during Sir R. Woodford's abstnice.—Al- though we cannot see the necessity of setiding C mmis sioners here, under existing circumstances, we stall still be most happy to see them, as we feel assured that their report must eventually benefit this Colony in an - eminent degr. e. We do not look back to the past, nor will we attempt to discuss the propriety of those inea sums which have been formerly adopted on behalf of this Colony. Of this, at least, we feel assured, that the capabilities and natural advantap.es of Sierra Leone are equal to all, and superior to many of his Majesty's.. tropical possessions. It req.uires 01115 a skilful guide, with rutlicieat support. from hometor a few years, to render it one of the most valuable jewels of the British Crown ; and calmly and conscientiously we declare our firm belief, that, it left to the operation of those plans, which are. now formed .for its welfare, it will yet realize the best wishes of its warmest friends. It is with this conviction, therefore, we bail the arrival of we:l in formed, unprejudiced men, as a happy omen of the future prosperity of this hitherto unfortunate Colony; feeling well assured that it requres only to be beater known to be duly appreciated. AUGUST 13.-04 Thursday week ar iverl his Ma jesty's ship Redwing, Captain Clavering, from Eng land, last from the Cape de V: rd Islands, having had the misfortune to strike on the S.W. feet of the Island of Boriavista, during the night, in endeavouring to avoid the Leton Rock. She has, fortunately, satoored little damage, and that :n the fal.e keel oak. Captain Clavering left Portsm :uth on the 4:h of June list, and, on the same day, the Bann, with our highly atceined friend Captain Courtenay, anived at Spithead. The Redwing has brought out the British silver money which has been so long looked for, and which we feel will ultimately prove of thegteatestbenefit to the com merci ii intere.t of ibis Colony. The portion intended for this station has been alleit.iy Landed, and as soon as the Red w ing has completed her wood and way r she will proceed to Cape Coast, where the remainder will be given in charge to the senior Commissar iat Offi:er of that station. Captain Clavering will then endeavour to • join the Commodore, wt.° ktends remaining to lees and until November next. Thursday cattle into this harbour the schooner Belvidere, New by master, from Liverpool, having called in the Gambia, whither she returns immediately, for the purpose of loading a cargo of the valu , ble timber of that river. She has brought letters from St. Mary's, which decribe that settlement as generally health y, but that the rains were about setting in regularly. We regret to le ut n that the gum trade has completely failed . this season; the brig Hambletonian - having only ob tained S 6 tons of gum, while the Sarah has not been able to trade for any, and has, theiefore, returned to St. ►Mary's, where she will take in a cargo of wax and hides ; it is said she will sail for England about the middle of this month. Ills Majesty the King of Barra seems to have pro fitted by the useful lesson he received from his Excel lency the Governor-General, and remains perfectly tranquil under his losses. The general trade of the river was going on in the usual course. Advices have been received from Batavia to the 20th of August. The ProcLunation of the Government, published on the 14th of July, for establishing a gene ral system of entrepot, was considered by the merchants to be founJed on sound principles of trade, and likely to prove beneficial to the industry and commerce ofJava. A private letter, dated Ostend, Nov. 19, says, that it was currently reported that the Pope had excommu nicated the King of the NETHERLANDS, and that the instrument of excommunication had arrived, although it was not openly published. Letters from Riga of the sth instant, mention that the weather has unexpectedly turned to rain, with every appearance of long continuance. The number of pupils admitted into the schools which have succeeded to those that are suppressed in the Netherlands is two hundred and silty, and at Liege eight hundred and seventy-one. A letter from Gibraltar, dated Slit October, men ' tions that grain is in great demand for the States of Barbary ; and Spain is also expected to require consi derable further imports before a ext harvest.
