.Jig to the 8 Prado,' or Parade. It contains some beautiful _paintings, and numerous models of fortifica tions ; among others, that of Gi , raltar. Admittance is only given by tickets from sup , tior Officers. The Na• tional Museum is on- of the finest in Europe, containing a must valuable collection of minerals and marbles.— The Gallery of Paintings in the Prado, is a magnificent building ; and the Gar dens of the Retiro are very fine, with be•.util ul walks. The grand promenadeis the erado ; the gravel walk is fine, with stone seats on each side, and some ot the most magnificent fountains in Europe. About ball-pa,t tour the Ladies begin to assemble, and a guard of the Royal Cuirassiers is invariably stationed in front of the Prado. A number of the Officers of this corps are mere boys, being sons of Royalists and Employees. Since the abolition of the Inquisition, the system of Police has been so rigid as to alim:st perform the functions of that establishment. The Constitutional party ate all registered, and their servants are compel. led to act as spies upon them. None are more in favour of the Constitution than the females of this country. _ . " Our Minister is by no means popular, which may be attributed to his reserve and his private mode of living. Sir W. A'Covrt was very popular, his balls and r,uts being more suitable to the taste of the people than the retired habits of his successor. The Secretary of the Embassy is, however, a favourite with all classes, and with none more than his countrymen here. _ " In consequence of the superiority of the Saxon wool, and the preference given to it by our manufac turers, the English have ceased this year to be competi tors for the Spanish Merinos, and knowing how little confidence was to be placed in the existing state of things in Spa u, they have also refused to make their usual advances to the proprietors of Merino flocks. The consequence is, the latter have lost enormously this year, and ale begging the butchers to take them off their hands for slaughtering at any price. 41 The annual cost of a Merino sheep is 22 seals, the present nett proceeds of the fleece 14 seals, leaving a loss of 8 teals per head per annum. The Monks indus triously give out that this is in consequence of the general distress in England, and th it the English mer chants have now not enough to purchase their wools." PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " Tile day after his arrival at Madrid, the King reviewed all the Spanish troops who were in that capi tal. The Marquis of Zambrano, Minister of War, was at the head of the Cavalry of the Guatd. The satis faction his Majesty enjoyed at the sight of this fine troop was remarked by all the attendants. I. is to M. de Zambrano that we are indebted for the brilliant state of the Royal Guard, and of the army in general ; lie has achieved this prodigy in spi , e of the embar rassed state of the Royal Treasury. With respect to the Militia, thanks to the efforts of M. de Sin Roman, they are cornpetely organised, and ready to march, in case of necessity. This troop is composed chiefly of veteran Officers and soldiers of the army which fought fur independence, so tbk it aright easily be transfer med into a regri!ar troop. 6. Many regiments have been marched towards the frontier of Po. tugal, to form there a military line. It appears that it is the intention of our Govetnreent to have tipo.i this p hit a body of 10,000 men, of whom 3,000 are f the Gu rd Royal. These forces will form two di shio is, of which one will garrison the frontier f the kirgdom of Galicia, and the other the frontier of E.t•eo.adu a Generals Espa t oie and Saedfield are de s7gtied oil the curia:rand of th se two divisions. .4 The last news see received from Portugal confirms the acc•ruut of the victorious march of the Marquis de Chives upon Oporto. Tire Royalists have experienced t.o • ther r .sistance beyond that which was opposed to them at Br aganza. We learn that th it number in creases every day ; at their approach every cou try rises en masse; the peasantry arm themtels es ; tl etc only teiriain old men to guard the houses. The weak detachments of Corioituttonali,ts, which are not rallied under the hanners of Don Miguel, find themselves cut off fr• m t. treat, and edged in between the royalists and the at rued • easaint y. Such is the ceivcel position of Genet als Clareiinir and Correa Mello, who, n the ear' y part of D...cember, wandered with some soldiers (lion the ris hi bank of the D uro, without the means of cros,i.•g it, the inhabitants of the left bank having i licit ir eery means of embarkation. All retreat urn o,rot to being impossible on account of the haul.. sections of 'lie inhabitants, the two Constitutional Welt must cecessai Hy lay down their arms. " According to accounts fom Lisbon th it capital was, on the 6th, in the greatest confusion. Every one, dreading the future, was endeavouring to quit a city which in a few days might become the scene of 11 e most terrible catastrophes. ' The Princess Regent had for mally ref used the asylum which had been offered to her on board the English vessels; she had even declared her formal intention of retiring to the Empress, her mother. I c.ll confidently predict that the defection will be general in the army, and even in the Cortes, as soon as the Marquis of Chaves shall have arrived within !2.5 o. 30 leagues of Lisbon. Then we shall see renewed the scenes of 1813; every one will endeavour to treat will him, except, perhaps, the men who, too openly attached to the E•"glish party, have so far compromised themselves as to be necessitated to leave the country. "Some menacing words which, it is said, escaped Mr. Lamb, lead to the belief that England wishes to profit from the pto iotic ardour of the Portuguese, by attri buting to us its cause and its consequences; but we ;ersist in believing that the French esovernment, the ttatural ally of ours, will not deceive itself upon the too visible inteations of the Cabinet of St. James's. If England persists in tendering us responsible for what passes in Portugal, your Gover n tow (at least so we hope) would assist us to reply to our common and perpetual enemy. it will not forget, that, in more than one cir cumstance. Spain compromised its own interests by re maining faithful to those of Trance. Europe knows that, for these three years, we supported patiently all the political insults of which it pleased England to render us the victims. To annoy us she recognised the independence f our colonies, after having furnished succours of every kind to the insurgents of those coun tries; expeditions prepared on her soil, and paid by her agenv, invaded our coasts ; it is to England that we are indebted for having seen the flag of anarchy wave' over us, when no act on trur part had provoked such hostilities. Not only we did not complain, but our Government pretended to be ignorant of the real cause of these attacks. What, then, can England allege against our 3.ivereign, whose conduct has been so noble and so forbearing? Will she reproach him for having wished to preserve us from the evils which the political revolution of Portugal might bring on Spain? but since, in 1823, England gathered upon her vessels and upon her soil,Mina and other Spanish revolutionists,have we not a right, in our turn, to give an asylum, in 1826, THE EVENING STAR.

The French Government has been singularly unfor tunate in the choice of its late diplomatic agent in Spain, as will be seen. from the official pieces we give this day, and which were originally annexed to the Re-. port of the Portuguese Minister of Foreign Affairs.—r- From the whole of those documents, it is clear that the French Ambassador had scandalously abused the con fidence of his Superiors, and departed in the most audacious manner from the spirit of their instructions. It is, therefore, to be hoped, that a punishment, fully equal t, the offence, will be meted out to him, as otherwise his employers will be considered as either lax in their political morals, or extremely wanting in the firmness which their situation requires of them at this time. His mere rtc is-evidently an inadequate penalty; and should the French Ministers remain sta tionary at this point, they would inevitably subject themselves to a suspicion, that their disavowal of his conduct is not merely the effect of indignat7on, as they are anxious that the world should believe. —lt is the more necessary that they should free themselves from all taint of secret connivance, as they cannot possibly get over the charge of gross negligence, in suffering such a man to remain s long at a post, where the highest honour, integrity temper and skill are necessary. How woefully de ficient he has been in all these requisites it is un necessary to say ; and yet he would have probably retained his situation till now, had not the remon strances of the Portuguese Government recalled them to a sense of their duty. Had not that Government interposed with promptitude and energy, this diplomatic firebrand might have involved Portugal in• an unextin guishable conflagration, and assimilated that kingdom to enslaved and benighted Spain. Though the Fretie'r Government might lament the pernicious example, it would hardly fail to turn the event to its advantage and it is the-m Ore incumbent upon it now, to set itself right in the opinion of . ..mankind, by placing upon his trial the person who dad all but reduced it to the di lemma.of having to chine between duty and selfishness. In the mean time the safety of our oldest Ally is not a problem, the solution of which depends any longer upon a struggle between the wishes and duties of the French Cabinet. From the favourable state of the wind, a part of our armament must before now have reached a theatre already immortalised by British gallantry. The appearance alone of our brave troops will be sufcient to put down this infamous rebellion, and to scour the country of the rabble, who disgrace Religion by the horrible excesses they commit, and compromise legitimacy by the burlesque their motley appearance throws upon it. As soon as theßritish stand ard—the signal of victory and freedom is seen proudly fluting on the Portuguese territory, such of the inha bitants as are able to appreciate the advantages of their present Government will rite to a man in its support. At the same time, the army will be soon put ified and reorganised; when reparation will be exacted from► the Spanish GovernMent upon its os‘n territory, should it, in reliance upon the sympathy of its Ultra friends in France, or upon its own trickery, put it off so long. Hamburgh Papers to' the 20th instant have arrived ) this morning, but their contents, in a political point of view, are upon the whole uninteresting. They contain intelligence from St. Petersburgh, which, besides other matter, announces that the Russian Government is assiduously employed at this time in introducing im provements into the administration of justice. It is also states!, that General KUTASOW has resigned his office as Director General of all the Military Schools, and that General DEMIDOW succeeds him. Count ARAKTSCHAGEFF, to whom, we believe, the colossal scheme of the military colonies is due, and who had superintended them from the egg till the development they had attained about the time of the death of the Em. peror ALEXANDER, is expected to return shortly from his travels. These was a great deal of importance, at the time, attached to his departure, and the cause is still involved in much mystery. It will be recol !ected that a report fn m him on the subject of the Military Colonies arpe.ased soon after the accession of the present Emperor, in which he strongly recom mended their suppression. Whether it was drawn up at the instance of the late Sovereign, whose confidence he enjoyed in a presemineot degree, or of the present Ruler, we have not heard ; but his resignation, and the announcement of his intention to set out on his travels, almost immeJiately followed. As he returns after so short an absence, it is probable that he is restored to entire favour, and that his administrative talents, which are said to be of the very first order, will be again put in requisition, lir the benefit of she empire. This last, however, is only a sus mise of our own. There is no news from the army in Georgia, and no other reference to its operations, which the season has probably long since suspended, beyond the statement that General BENEKENDORFP has set out for that army, with a special commission from the EMPEROR; but whe her the mission is military or dplomatic undertaken for the purpose of carrying on the war upon a mine extended and vigorous scale, or terminating it altogether, is not mentioned, though we should not be surprised if the latter were the case,as the expenses of a campaign in that wild and inhospitable region must outweigh any advantages, in point of territorial acquisition, that can accrue from the most un'n terrupted course of success. Besides the employment of the Russian arms, in that remote quarter, must, in some degree divert the attention of that Power from objects of far greater interest, particularly in the present circumstances of Europe ; and moreover, war, by encouraging the independent spirit, which is known to prevail in the army, cannot be very agreeable to a Givernment, whose very existence but very lately, was endangered by that spirit.— A circumstance, however, is mentioned, from which it would appear that Ressia, so fir from being intent on circumscribing her ambitious views on the side of Per• sia, is desirous of giving them a wider scope, having already founded several Cossack villages on the Steppes of the Caucasus ; and, it is added, that these establish ments are likely to prosper.

The attack began on the part of the Turks, who attemptei to make them selves masters of the citadel, bnt having mtt with a brave resistance, were obliged to retire. PI ofiting by this advantage, the Governor made a sally from the citadel to charge the enemy. Thence the action was renewed in the city, and in this Goura was killed. Notwithstanding this circumstance, the combat continued, and the Tut ks being thiertrn.d by a Greek corps without the city, were forced to withdraw to the distance of three leagues beyond Athens, to secut e a position suitable for the de fence of the rest of their army.—lluncitio Botzaris, son of the late G. e- k General of that name, has arrived in this city, he w ill go in the Spring to Bavaria.
