By another Decree, of the same date, the ling has been pleased to order, that during his absency with the army, the Minister of Police and the Mini. stet of Justice, ad interims, shall dispatch the subjects appertaining to ecclesiastical affairs ; and his xcel. lenc y the - Marquis de Almenara, Minister of the Interior, those appertaining to the Ministries of Fi nance and War. C4DIZ PAPERS, CADIZ, NOVEMBER 12, According to faithful intelligence communicated to us by a person who left Madrid on the first inst. the indignation of the heroic people of that city was great at witnessing the precipitate setting out of ss. nors Villariezo, Carlaharria, and other Functionarie, who, without waking the march of the vanguard, centre and rear of the allied troops from the Tagus, or taking in the mean while the necessary precut. tions for saving the effects, Ike. which circumstances imperiously demanded, only attended to place them selves in safety. Nov. 10.—On the 3d, General Hill had already evacuated some points on the right of the Tagus, in consequence of Lord Wellington's orders. Massena, who now in person commands an army of 33,000 men, has refused to accept battle, which the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo has repeatedly offered him. We are assured, that in consequence of late events, Government has dispatched the requisite orders for all the effects abandoned by the enemy in Toledo, being placed in security. Nov. 17.—The Regency of the Kingdom has seen, with surprise, that one of the periodical papers, printed in Cadiz, has published, without permission of his Highness, the greater part of the official do leuments, relative to the conferring the 'command of the Spanish armies of the Peninsula on the Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo. The originals of almost all these documents are in the office of the first Secretary of State, and the slightest suspicion that the copies pub lished have issued from thence ? without the orders of Government, would be very detrimental, especiplly as they relate to a ministerial correspondence which is, in its own nature, secret, and on a subject still depending on the approbation of the Prince Regent of Great - Britain. Ihe Regency has in consequence given orders to the first Secretary of State, to make the requisite investigations, and the result has been, to convince his Highness that the office of the first Secretary of State still preserves that incorruptible fidelity, reserve, and propriety, by which it has al ways been distinguished ; and that none of the vidnals in the same has furnished these document.l ---As some of these have never been in the office of, tie first Secretary of State, nor in any other, this is a sufficient proof that none insthose offices has had Z any share in a publication at the same time illegal and unseasonable. When solid instruction shall become more general among us, if any public writer should be so wanting in the respect he owes to Government, as to make similar publications, without order or intimation, in stead of raising the credit of his paper, or obtaining any end, he would find the punishment of his teme rity in the indignation of his readers : for in a nation so intelligent and reflecting as this, even the least in formed persons will admit, that it appertains,only to the Government to publish, at a proper time, the result of negociations and expeditions ; and if before this time arrives, individuals shall presume to make known even any of the intermediate steps taken in each negociations, it would be necessary to abolish our •S'egetaryships, and even to suppress the names 'of them i and to order that our matters of business, which are only discussed in cabinets in all civilized countries, shall he proclaimed in the public places. Nov. 18.—TbaConeire of the 17th contains a repre sentation from General Ballastaxos, dated Antequera, 10th November, requesting a second time that the Regency would change his destination from Ceuta, where the nation and posterity would confound him with criminals of a very different class, to some place in the Peninsula, at least till he has been heard and judged.

The Dey bas promised that his ships, end the pri vateers belonging to his subjects, shall henceforward respect the Spanish flag. and the restoration of the brigantine Espoz and Mina, which was taken after the agreement was made, but before it was known to the capturers, is a proof that he intends to fulfil his promise. In virtue of the same agreement, has restored the ships taken from the commencement of hostilities. They are those stated in the gillowing list :—The brigantine Stocristo, of Cadiz, which was confiscated in Algiers, the 30th of last June, was af terwards broken up and the cargo distributed, in consequence of which the crew and passengers only have been obtained. The individuals in the ships taken amount to 226, including 25 Spanish soldiers, and 52 French prisoners, who were in the polacre Zaragossa, have all been given up. The ships have been restored in the state in which they arrived at Algiers ; but as it is customary for these Corsairs to steal the furniture, clothes, and other things easy to be hidden, those articles could not be intruded in the restoration made of the car goes, so that those interested will lose from 19 to 15 thousand dollars. The many obstacles there were to surmount in bringing this negoclation to a termina tion would not have been got over without the pow erful interest of his Britannic Majesty's Ambassador in Cadiz, the happy disposition of the British Admi ral Peliew, and without the seal, prudence, and sa gacity of Sir C. Adams, Captain of the English ship Invincible, who was the Gentleman who, in Algiers, discharged so arduous a commission. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. THURSDAY, DECEMBU S. In our Second Edition yesterday we were ender the painful neeecsity of gating, that the French P. solar Array of the North, under general Soonest, and that of the South, under Marshal SOUL; had foamed a junction, and were bearing down with their combined forces arm the allied Army under Marquis Was4suovot. This intelligence was conveyed by I Lisbon Mail, which art ived in the afternoon of yes. terday, gad we have since received letters and papers from that city to the date of the 25th ult, We now present our Readers with all the details, OiAcial and denly-ofacial, of which we are in pos, sassims, respecting the recent nsovements ofourarrar 1 the reeilleillel ne retreat of the hfArquit WePaectrat has ant isms egected without 4 skirmishes, but these have been favourable in 601, result, and our Ines liae beet! consporotieely small t " 1 4 1 Pnlit, (aft Joeck) 11:1114T num colooel Camlotai, of the 71st lights% is di; ellitftlent erfired• (1 1 0 PIY/4"th) 111 d i nt r i tk dispatches front the Allie 4 Armies, AU wool it, that. the Marquis of Wouoires bar tottosoi, Cicada liodligo-,the llama; are at Ihdeatleg-• there has been no regular liettles bat foodstql skit! *tithing.

On the same date the Marquis of Welling. ton's head-quarters were at Torrecilla de la Orden, and next day he was to retreat to Atiegua, about eight leagues from Salamanca. General Hill, it was expected, would be at Penaranda about the same time. Subsequent intelligence is said to have been received by the Spanish Government, that the Eng lish army having continued its retreat to theTorroes, had offered battle to the enemy on the 9th, which he declined, and retreated towards Penaranda. It was confidently expected that the Marquis of Wel lington would again advance, and that a general action would ensue. But considering the inequality of force between the French and the Allies, and ad. verting particularly to the great extent of territory which the Marquis of Wellington has abandoned rather than risk a battle, it is not probable that he will hazard a general engagement without such an advantage of position as must lead the French Gene rals to avoid an action. That this will be his policy is the more certain, from his being fully aware that the French cannot keep together for any time the immense force which they have collected against him, and that when, from want of provisions and other causes, they are compelled to separate their armies, he may advance again. a The Cortes shew every disposition to support the Marquis of Wellington in the authority which they have lately conferred upoh him.—The Ex-Regent O'Donnell is employed in organizing and discipline ing the army at Grenada, lately under the command of Ballasteros; and troops are assembling at Alcarax and other points, which by the late movements of the French army have been freed from the domination of the enemy. a The French having very few troops hi the kin*. don) of V4encia, and having dismantled the capital,' leaving only a small garrison m one of the forts which they hate preserved—The Allies are under orders to advance from Alicant, and confident hopes are en tertained that they mist either recover possession of that important province, or compel Suchet to teturn and defend his conqnest. They had not begun, how ever, to resume active operations on the Ist. which is the date of our last intelligence from Alicant." sirriNG OF THE COATES..--)ONTH DAY.
