FOR JOAQUIaI 3EYERINO GOMEZ. By the enclosed documents transmitted to your Ex cellency, you will be made acquainted with the seditious movements which have taken place in some of the corps of the army stationed on different points, and the open rebellion and invasion of some of them, under the command of Officers unworthy of their posts, and the confidence of the Government. These revolutionary movements, rather afflicting than alarming, amidst the fidelity evinced by the majority of the troops, and the sentiments which pervade the dif ferent classes of the nation, who are full of fidelity, love, and enthusiasm, for the august person of the King, and for the institutions emanating from his Royal wis dom, and her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent, l would have been promptly quellediand their instigators visited with puni s hme nt , h a l' tfir civil and military authorities on the Spanish frontier co-operated with the Portuguese provinces and fortresses, in conformity with the treaties existing between the two nations. But by the enclosed documents, your Excellency will see how the above-mentioned authorities evaded the fulfilment of the conditions stipulated in the different treaties and conventions, insinuating that they could not, without entering upon negotiations which were constantly de. (erred, adopt measures, the whole merit of which de pended on promptitude; and according to credible accounts, they even lent assistance to the rebels. Under these circumstances, her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent, moved by the just indignation excited by these odious proceedings, in which the military oath, the soul of the security of thrones, has been so basely violated ; and being at the same time convinced that the inferior officers and soldiers had been misled by simplicity and ignorance, and seduced by their commanders, her High. ness had been pleased (as your Excellency will perceive by the inclosed decree), to disband the rebel corps, and to erase their names from the army list, affording the corporals, lance-corporals, and privates, an opportunity of escaping punishment, and avoiding all the penalties incurred, in consequence of their being thus deluded. Her Serene Highness, convinced that his Catholic Ma jesty is ignorant of these movements, and consequently of the conduct ci( the above-mentioned authorities, di rects that your Excellency will, without delay, commu nicate these facts to the Spanish Government, giving it to understand that the regiments in question being dis- banded, and the date of the decree in favour of the inferior Officers and privates being expired, all the other individuals of the said corps who may remain on the Spanish territory are charged with high treason and open rebellion against their lawful King;—that in con formity with existing conventions they ought to be delivered up to the competent Portuguese authorities, or at least placed in safe custody until tried and found guilty, when they should be delivered over to the Por tuguese authorities who may claim them ; and that, moreover, the horses, arms, ammunition, money, &c. which the rebels may have carried off, should be im mediately seized and returned to the military authori ties in the fortresses of Elvas and Chaves; those autho rities against whom our Government has such just reason to complain being also removed. Her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent directs that your Excellency will not detain the extraordinary cou rier longer than is necessary ; and she hopes that, in this delicate business, your Excellency will display that in telligence, honour, and activity, which have uniformly distinguished your long and honourable cat eer in the Royal service. Heaven preserve your Excellency. ( A true copy) DON FRANCISCO D'ALMRIDA. JOS. BASILIO RADEMAKER Palace, August 7, 1326. 1 On the I On Ma T HE E compr .

'rhe undersigned Minister and Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs has the honour to acquaint his Excel. lency Count Casa Flores, that the Governor of the pro. since of Alemteju communicated, under date of yester. l day, that a corps, formed of the Portuguese rebels who bad fled to Spain, had entered Villa Vic Isa, having for this object received arms from the Spanish authorities. It is moreover stated, that a hundred muskets have been distributed among the Portuguese peasants on the iron. tier, and also that a park of light artillery, in Badajoz, is preparing to march, by superior orders, to join the in surgents ; all this being contrary to the law of nations, and to the assurances repeatedly given to the under: signed by his Excellency Count Casa Flores, as well as to Count de Villa Real, and to his Britannic Majesty's Minister at Madrid by Don Manoel Salmon. In consequence of this strange proceeding, which is disowned by civilized nations, the undersigned is obliged to acquaint his Excellency Count Casa Flores, by order of her Serene Highness the Infanta Regent, that if his Catholic Majesty's Government do not render a clear and satisfactory explanation of the extraordinary insult which has recently taken place, his Excellency Count Casa Fir res must consider his functions of Ambassador suspendeJ. The undersigned has the honour to inform his Excellency Count Casa Flores, that measures have been adopted to prevent any vitt ',don of the respect due to his Excellency's person and family. The undersigned takes this opportunity of renewing the protesta tions of his high consideration fla his Excelltncy Count Casa Flores. (A true copy) DON FRANCISCO D'ALMEIDA. JOSE BASILIO RADEMAKER.

Viscount de Monte Alegre, with the party in Palencia, will march to Sllainanea, *here they will be joined by the cavalry, which is to arrive from Lugo. In Salamanca, a small force will be detached to threaten the south of the province of Tr As-os Montes, penetrating as far as Moncorvo; and the , emainJer of the division will enter by Villa Maior, and pre - Teed to occupy Cidade de Guarda, and to open the communication with Castello Blanco, which will then be occupied by Magessi's divi. sion. These two divisions v. ill combine together their operations on Lisbon and C.•imbra, as well as upon AletritejoalidTr as os Muntes. Tie divi:ion of Madureira, which was in Lugo, will match upon Monte Itei, to threaten the foitress of Chaves, and to establish itself in Monlorte.. In case Beira Alta should be found in a state of defence, the whole division of Palencia, will occupy Bragansa, in order to raise the province of Tras-os-Montes, and afterwards to pass into Beira Aka.

FRENCH PAPERS. FROM Tilt COURIER FRANSAIS OF SATURDAY, DEC. 23. PARIS, Mc. 22. 113111411111ASSID COUNTEIANCI or Tilt linuirray. Our Ministry is not gay, notwithstanding the efforts which they make to appear united and firm. They are agitated by melancholy forebodings, and conceal the symptnms of some internal malady ; they do not suffer their Journals any longer to speak, as if apprehensive of some indiscretion on their part. They hardly speak themselves—or if they do, they take the laconical M. de Damas for their mouth-piece, who, forgetting that he is no longer in the service of Ruisia, congratulates England in his speech, for having gloriously fought against us during twenty-five years. He has even the goodness to promise to us similar success, if ever we should be called upon to defend the same principles in our Sum. A compliment more or less, is of no consequence, when our new allies are to be caressed, who, however, evince no great anxiety to mum the compliment to out Ministers. But what can M. de Damas mean ? Have enigmas' come into fashion ? Are they to supersede diplomatic secrets, which Mr. Canning let out a little by his severe exhortations to misgoverning Kings ? Against whom are we to wage so tedious a war as that which England carried on• against ourselves?—, Where is Legitimacy endangered, if not in Portugal,' where Chaves attacks them sword in hand, or in Spain, where the Apostolic: sometimes exclaim, for the sake of passing time, " Long live Charles V. I" instead of Long live Ferdinand VII. !" The defence of Portugal has been left to the English ; nothing is required of us but to cause the Charter to be recognised, and the frontiers of that country to be re spected by King Ferdinand, who is to remain for some time under our guidance, if he succeed in appeasing 'the vengeance of England, and our just resentment. According to M. de Damas's speech, we have but one chance of an enemy—of a declared enemy, since we have already recal:ed our Ambassador—namely, Spain, should she persist in refusing to give satisfaction to England, to Portugal, and to ourselves—all three make common cause together to prevent the consequences of her hostility against Portugal, and of her scorn of our counci:s. But bhculd such a struggle break out, and should we remain linked with England and Poi tugal as we now are, and form a triple alliance against Spain, we have already the advantage of occup ) ing the principal for tresses, as England dors Gibraltar. Thus it is not pm bubl.: that this struggle against Spanish Absolutism and Apostolicism should last as many years as that of the Cabinet of London against the French Revolution did. So much the better. For England finds already that Pitt and Castlereagh made her pay somewhat dearly for that glory to which M. de Dames permits es to aspire. During all that glory we too had our share of it, which most of those who now calum nice us thought but too brilliant, and which M. de Damns must have surely beard them talk of in the Russian camps. But really we have no occa sion to envy or t , ) reproduce the glory of any one. Every body has his own in his tui n, Ise, haps even M. de Dames, when he hastened to a campaign in Catalonia, which, together with the protection of M. de Chateau briand, whom he succeede.i, procured him the office which seems to embarrass him so much under M. de Villele's supremacy. Our Ministry, which does not seem a young one either to France, upon whom it pressed already so long and so heavily, resembles much those young girls who marry against their inclinations, but who resign them. selves for fear of being deprived of their portion : they grow melancholy and silent after their wedding, ss hich they scarce dare to acknowledge. We might almost say, that M. de Villele had married Mr. Canning, and that be felt himself ill calculated for the match, which produced already such high words. The colleagues of M. de Villele, who do not appeal' to have been initiated into the secret, have some little difficulty to pronounce the word alliance with England. But why should they feel so awkward if the conditions of the contract are useful and honourable? Why not submit them to the Chamber for examination, and to France, who would judge them in the last instance? MADRID. We.have received the following interesting Private Letter, dated Madrid, Dec.l2: " The importance of the events which have recently transpired here has prevented my writing you earlier and giving the accounts you desire of the state of things here. You are quite mistaken at home in supposing that Ferdinand is guilty of one half of the acts attributed to him; he is in fact merely a puppet in the hands of others. The Franciscan Convent has been the Cabinet of Madrid for the last nine months, and the Ministers, as well as the King, are mere cteatures in the hands of this powerful faction. The Monks have ramifications throughout France and Portugal, and they even say England. It is these who have armed the whr'le pea santry of Spain, formed them into Battalions of Volunteers, and organized the present Military sys tem. The people of property and the middling classes may be regarded as generally in favour of the Constitution, but the whole of the peasantry are servilely devoted to the Priesthood. These latter have been doing their utmost to produce a war be tween France and England, and to gain this point, have organized the Portuguese Insurrection, well knowing, that should England resent it and commence hostilities with Spain, France must ultimately be drawn into it. Morality and religion, generally speaking, have been quite discarded by the upper classes, although they attend Mass once a day at least to keep well with the Priests, and th's country is an example of a rapid transi• tion from bigotry to profligacy. It was currently stated in this capital as far back as August last, that in the Franciscan, as well as the other convents, the Monks were daily drilled to the use of the musket, that in the event of a war, they might be competent to lead on and encourage the Royalist force; and as far back as Sept. the Priests publicly boasted, that if the English did not inter fere in the affairs of Portugal the Constitution would soon be overthrown, and that the Portuguese peasantry had been gained over by their emissaries. The people In.te have very little respect for their Monarch." Li Borrico" (the Jack Ass) is a common appellation applied to him. His brother, Don Carlos, is the head of the Apostolical party, and never quits his brother. The 3d brether,Fran ,cisco, is much beloved by the nation for the plainness of his living, and his mixing more familiarly with the people. the administration of justice in Spain is most infamous. It is customary for plaintiff and defendant, the night before the trial, to go to the Corregidor with such letters of introduction as either can obtain, and with him is left a sum of money proportionate to the sum at stake, and no case is ever known in which the heaviest purse is not the gainer. An instance of this has occurred to an English house very recently.We,however, never hear an instance in which the French commanders interfere, either one way or the other, with the Spanish Courts. The Spaniards detest all foreigners, but their de testation of the English it is impossible to describe. Smug gled goods from France are introduced in great roan tities, and with great facility, under the plea of their being property of the French Officers. The Govern ment is in a most embarrassed state, and is indeed maintained by a contribution levied on all classes in proportion to their wealth, ac. The merchant pays a certain sum, the artisan another, and so on. The streets are crowded with monks, beggars, and officers. The streets, with the exception of one or two, are unpaved, and this city is not so large as Liverpool, and contains, by the last census, 142,000 inhabitants. Diligence, are now established on the three great roads—the first from Madrid to Barcelona—the second, from Madr id to Seville—and the third, from Madrid to France, by way of Irun. The roads are most infamously unpro tected, and robberies are frequent. Tr e ignorance of the people, with regard to what passes in England, is astonishing. No English Newspaper is allowed to be brought into Spain, and very few French. Now ani then a Galignaes Messenger is seen by stealth, and occasionally the worst paragraphs in the Opposition English Papers, in the hands of the Government, are extracted into the Madrid Gazette, and the people are taught to believe England on the brink of ruin, and that the disturbances at Blackburn, Bcc. (which are the chief paragraphs taken), are a general insurrection against the Government. Our conduct towards the South American States has drawn universal h itred upon us. The lower classes are bigotted to the extreme. is This city has some fine buildings. The Palace is a very handsome square building, as is also the MWCUM. The Palace of the Prince of Godoy (now converted into an arsenal), is a fine building, and is situated opposite the Ambassador's Hotel, in the Calle de Alcata,'
