The following are additional extracts: - VERONA, NOVEMBER g. Within these few days the hope of maintaining the peace of Europe has somewhat diminished. We are assured that the great Powers of the Continent are not disposed to recognize the political changes which have taken place in the Government of Spain since the publication of the Constitution of the Cortes: no thing, however, has yet been published on this im portant subject. At the close of one of the late con ferences of the Ministers of Austria, Russia, Prussia, France, and England, in which the affairs of Spain are said to have been discussed, extraordinary cou riers were simultaneously dispatched to London, Pat is, and Madrid.—Journal de Paris. MADRID, OCTOBER so. In the debates of the Cortes of the 27th, a discus sion took place on the Budget (Extraordinary) de manded by the Minister at War. The debates were long and energetic, and the result was as follovh: Le. 1. For necessary Utensils, Clothing, Equipage, Armament, Provisions, Hospital, and Remount of Cavalry and Artillery Steals. 91,401,339 24 2. For tho payment of 40,000 men on the war establishment - 8. For the Artillery and Waggon Train 4. For the repairing of fourteen places on the frontiers - - 3. For the active Mids. 6. For the provisioning for two months of the places on the lines of Gibraltar 7 and 8. For the preservation and repara tion of other places and castles - 0.

MAHON, OCTOBER 25. The arrival of the King's Regiment here, which took place on the 14th, was immediately followed by a number of arrests, which produced on the spirit of the inhabitants a strong impression.. of terror. An hour after the above arrival of the Regiment here, the Governor and Lieutenant of the King, with three Adjutants of the place, were suspended froth their functions, and the command of the island given to the Colonel of the Regiment. The same evening , a detachment set off for Citadella, where a number of arrests took place. The persons arrested at Mahon, Alayer, and Citadella, are the most opulent of the island. Bayonne Papers to the eth instant have been re ceived. They contain some further details of the defeat of the Insurgents in Spain, which appears to bare been most decisive. The folloWing aro extracts: BAYONNE, NOVEMBER 5. As we have stated, General Quesada arrived yes terday morning at ten o'clock in this city, with two Aides-de-Camp and a Secretary. At noon he waited on General d'Autichamp : it being observed that his two Aides-de-Camp were in their full uniform, and More their sabres, these Defenders of the Faith were nearly being hissed by the crowd in the square where General d'Autichamp lodges. Their defeat has been complete. It was General Quesada who, on the Ist of November, attacked the between Estella and Salvatierra, but he was beaten and re. pulsed as far 3.s to Los Arcos, by the regiment Im perial Alexander, commanded by its Colonel, Ales ander O'Donnel, in person. At Los Arcos they found fresh forces to engage ; but after some resistance they were beaten and dispersed, leaving the field of battle strewed with arms. The disorder was so complete, that Quesada, when he reached Lombiere, could muster no more than 200 men, but it seems that the day before yesterday the partisans, Ladion and Guer guet, had already rallied about 1,200 men. We know nothing of the farther movements of Espinosa, nor whether O'Donnell, who is at Bayonne, will go . and take the command of the Division of Navarre, which is in the greatest confusion. There is nothing extraordinary in the three pro vinces, except the vigorous measures of defence which are adopted at all points, especially at Bilboa, where they have erected, in eight days, a fort, which has cost 500,000 reals, paid by the mass of the inhabitants, while the two moveable companies of volunteers, forming together 280 men, are ready to take the field. , The incursions and operations of the Royalists in this country, are of no advantage to the cause of the Faith, on account of the numberless excesses which they commit. The Madrid Journals mention the defeat of Merino on the 24th, in the country of Burgos, but that of the 28th, which is mentioned in letters from that city, was much more complete ; four columns came up on that day with the band of that partisan, consisting of 800 men, badly organized, near Mande: 60 were killed, and the rest dispersed ; for, having retired towards Boa, they were attacked by another column fromValladol id. The Officer who commanded in this expedition flatters himself in his report that Merino will never recover this defeat; but we.already know the exploits, the courage, and the cunning of this Priest, who possesses great influence in the coun try where he acts. It is affirmed that he has hitherto been concealed in a Convent of Nuns. A Bulletin published at Saragossa, on the 28th, re lative to the taking of Castelfollit by Mina, states, that that place was occupied by 4000 of the factious, and was taken by storm, after 1200 had been put to the sword, and 1500 taken prisoners. The loss of the Constitutional troops was not so considerable as might have been expected, because the attack was supported by the heavy artillery, which did great execution. The news of this victory has spread con sternation among the rebels, who sill be close pressed, in their positions, and wholly unable to resist the cou rage of our troops ; 8000 men, with a good train of l artillery, were immediately detached towards Bala guer, and we hope that this important point will be very soon in our power. Public rejoicings and a splendid illumination took place on the same day at Saragossa. Bayonne Papers to the 7th instant reached us this forenoon. They contain no additional intelligence relating to the opemtions of MINA. The news of the Tall of Castelfollit had reached Madrid, where it caused great joy. The intelligence from Madrid is to the Ist instant. The following are extracts : MADRID, OCTOBER 31. The most absurd reports are continually circulated in this capital to mislead public opinion, and the ene mies to the Constitution are never weary of circu lating in profusion various bulletins, announcing fresh advantages gained by the Royalists in Catalonia over the army of Mina. In the Patriotic Society of St. Thomas, the evening before yesterday, several letters from Barcelona were read, which mentioned the ap pearance of the French frigate rAmadee before that port, and even added, that other French men of war were expected on the coast of Catalonia; and the an swer which the French Consul has given to the Au thorities of Barcelona, that the mission of Captain Riguer had no other object than to make himself ac quainted with the situation of the subjects of his King in this Province, and especially in this port, and to offer them, in case of need, the protection of their Sovereign, has not produced a good effect in people's minds. The Journals of the capital copy, on this occasion, an article from the Indicador Catalan, which contains some virulent remarks on the subject, and affirms that all good Frenchmen are sufficiently protected by our laws and our honour. "We have always pro claimed peace," says the Indicador, " the Spaniards seek no ground for quarrel with anybody, but neither do they fear any one ; they are at present more pre pared than ever to give a new lesson of wisdom to those who should imprudently dare to pass with hos tile intentions the mountains of Irun. Peace ! peace with the French nation especially, who think as we do, who participate in our wishes, and so cordially interest themselves in our liberty and our happiness, as we do in theirs.. It seems that the Amadee sailed immediately to wards thc Straits, and its appearance on the coast of Valencia will produce the same sensation as on the' coast of Catalonia. The Municipality published, on the 26th, an ad vertisement to induce the fathers of families to enrol their children, from the age of 10 to 17 years, in the battalions of voluntary militia which are going to be formed in this capital. These young volunteers will be uniformed at the expense of their parents, and will do duty in conjunction with-the old national militia. The Municipality has further decreed that, to main. tain the external safety of the capital, there shall be foamed two companies of' infantry of 120 men each,, and one of cavalry of 60 men, under the name of Constitutional Chasseurs. . The infantry to receive pay at the rate of five reals per day, besides a ration of bread and lodging when out of Madrid; the cavalry seven reals per day.with rations of bread and forage, and lodging, when out of Madrid. Those persons who wish to make part of the company of cavalry . must be mounted at their own expense when they are enrolled in it. This measure is bec,omit the more necessat y, as the brigands come and insult the Civil ,Officers at the very gates of the capital. The chief cities in Spain, especially in Andalusia, have adopted similar measures, which will produce the most beneficial effects, both by facilitating the communications between the provincei, which are simultaneously interrupted, and by protecting tra vellers, who are sow plundered on all the roads. The Royal Family has lately promenaded on the Prado, but not a cry of Long live the King was heard. The Queen has almost entirely recovered from her indisposition. The National Militia conti nue to do duty in the Palace, together with the troops of the line ; and the Political Chief has been obliged to request the Volunteers to refrain from singing, within the precincts of the Royal abode, certain songs, which tend only to degrade the dignity of the Monarch. The accounts from Andalusia state, that the Pa triotic Societies have resumed their meetings with more ardour than ever, at Cadiz, Seville, Cordova, Grenada, Malaga, Murcia, Alicaut, Carthagena, and Valencia, where accusations against the Serviles are the order of the day. The repartition of the contingent of 29,000 men has already been sent to the principal towns, with the most pressing and positive orders to the Political Chiefs to complete the levies without delay, on their responsibility, and that of the Municipalities. The account of the taking of Castelfollit by Gen. Mina has caused great joy. AU the accounts that arrive successively from Catalonia are very satisfactory, and represent the situation of the Royalists as very criti cal, because the country which they occupy has been so laid waste that its resources are exhausted. The Jason corvette has landed at Barcelona a con- siderable quantity of grail, and two millions of reals for the army. Six millions are on the road from Sa ragossa to Cervera. This will facilitate the operations of Mina, and encourage h 4 troops, and still more the inhabitants, who believed that the Government was destitute of all resources. The negociations for the new loan of 800,000,000 of reals are nearly concluded; but the Spanish Government will receive in payment the bonds of the late loans, at the price which they now bear. It is affirmed that it will be done at 60 or 61. As for the last, with the house of Hardouin, the Minister has already negociated and received above 100 millions. The latest intelligence from Rio de Janeiro, which is to the 18th September, announces the important, but by no means unexpected fact, that the Brazilians have shaken off the yoke of Portugal, and proclaimed their absolute independence. The last intelligence from. Lisbon, conveying, as it did, the obstinate determina tion of the Cortes to endeavour to keep them in sub jection, accelerated this event. The PRINCE REGENT, the Public Functionaries, and the inhabitants of Rio deJaneiro, have all assumed the national cockade ; and the badges of Portugal are trampled under foot. It was expected that the PRINCE would be proclaimed King of the Brazils on his birth-day, which was the 12th of October. The following are extracts from the private letters bringing this intelligence : " RIO DE JANEIRO, SEPTEMBER 17. a On Saturday, the 14th inst. the Prince Regent returned from St. Paul's, after an absence of a few weeks. Before leaving that city, the Governor and People insisted upon his declaring the independence of Brazil, to which he acceded, and was solemnly sworn in its support. After the ceremony he took the Constitutional cockade from his hat, and affixed a green badge to his left arm, with the motto on a yellow stripe, Independence, or Death.' With this he appeared at the Opera on Sunday, the I.sth, and on Monday morning there was not a Constitutional cockade to be seen in the city. The green badge is now worn by the military and citizens. It is said we are to have a Proclamation in a day or two, declaring Independence ; and desiring those Europeans who are dissatisfied with the change to leave the country.— It is generally believed that the Government will not fully disclose their plans till the 12th of next month, the anniversary of the Prince's birth-day, when he will, in all likelihood, be proclaimed King. The Decrees of the Cortes of Portugal could not produce any other result." ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE. 66 The little union that existed between this coun try and Portugal is now finally dissolved. During the Prince's stay at St. Paul's, the Junta exacted from him a., oath that he would to the last defend the in dependence of Brazil ; they also Wearing to defend him. At the conclusion of this ceremony, they fastened to his left arm a green cockade, also a motto embroidered in gold, Death, or Independence,' with which he made his entry into the city. It is now be come common. The military and others under Go vernment received orders to take off the Portuguese cockades, which have been trampled under foot. The new one is expected to be issued to-morrow. A De cree is itho coming out, giving to all those who do not like the new order of things, a period for winding up their affairs and departing for Lisbon. The corona. tion is expected to take place on the 12th of October .° ANOTHER LETTER, SAME DATE 88 The Prince Regent reached this place from St. Paul's on Saturday night, after a journey of only five days, the distance being about ninety-three leagues. On Sunday evening he went to the Theatre, when the drop scene, representing America at the foot of Europe, was torn from the frame, and strong de.' monstrations of feelings against the Cortes were at the same time manifeited. The Prince himself ap peered with a green badge on his arm, surrounded with a motto embroidered in gold,ezpressirig, Death, or Independence r 86 It appears that the Paulistas were so indignant at the last intelligence from Lisbon, that the Consti tutional cockade was thrown away both by Prince and people, as soon as the measure of placing the Camera of Kio and the Provincial Government of St. Paul's under a criminal process was ascertained to be in contemplation. On going to the Custom house yesterday, the change of the cockade appeared to be general, and is, indeed, now the order of the day. The Brazilians are all with the Prince, and the tide of public opinion most decidedly follows him: a rupture with the mother country seems to us pretty clear, and the loss will be wholly on the side of Por tugal. It is not likely that there will be any printed documents published in time to send you them by this conveyance. Four individuals have been arrested and sent to St. Cruz, for their political bias towards the Cones, and are to be sent out of the country. One of them is a nephew of Joao Gomez Barroso, a Bank Director." New York Papers to the 20th ultimo, and Phila delphia Papers to the 21st, have been received. The following are extracts: COLOMBIAN REPUBLIC. Captain Buckley, arrived last evening from La guira, states, that the day before he sailed informa tion was received of the capture of Maracaibo by General Morales, without opposition. General Paez, with 5000 men, had marched some days previous for Maracaibo, and General Soublette was to leave Caraccas next day for the same place with a like num ber. The fleet sailed from Laguira for Maracaibo a week before. The Commander of the Patriot fleet has orders to attack the naval force under Morales, as he is accompanied by the frigate Ligera. At Carupano a plot has been discovered, that the Negroes, aided by some Whites (native Spaniards). intended to murder the principal inhabitants and plunder the town, but through the vigilance of Ge neral Bermudez, who commands there, the abomi nable plan has been frustrated. The Intendant of the department of Venezuela has lately received a letter from President Bolivar, stating that be will be in Santa Fe de Bogota the middle of December, to be present at the opening of tho Congress. FROM THE NEW YORE PAPER OF THE 19TH OCTOBER. By the schooner iceptune, which arrived from Ha vannah in ten days, we have received accounts to the sth inst. which state that the brig of war Hyena, schooner Diana, six gun-boats, and several transports, with 500 troops, were about to sail to destroy the piratical establishments at Cayo Romano and Cape San Antonio, and a detachment of cavalry was to go by land for the same purpose. BOARD OF HEALTH, OCT. 17.—Six new CAWS of yellow fever were this day reported to the Board by the resident physician. A German Mail, with Papers from Vienna to the 2d instant, reached us this forenoon, but they do Lot contain a single article worth quoting, except the price of Funds : VIZIOIA, Ocr. 30.—Metalnques, 861—Bank Stock, 9431. Ocr. 51.—Metalliques, 86 11-16--Bank Stock, 948 14. The nuptials of Mr. SPENCER STANHOPE and Miss OOKE are on the eve of taking place. The new Mews building at Pimlico occupies most of the ground from the Riding House round to the corner of Grosvenor-place. All the dead wall that now faces Arabella-row and Lower Grosvenor-place, will be removed, and the view of the new building may prove somewhat more agreeable. The houses beginning on this side of the Magdalen public-house round the corner, including the Bun-house, are to come down, some immediately, but the others not till the leases are expired. Monday evening, M. Conrs:r.. or gave his first re presentation in the Great Room, Spring-gardens, be fore a numerous and fashionable assemblage, w!:o manifested, by loud and repeated applauses, the gra tification they felt at witnessing the varied and cams ordinary feats and chemical experiments of this cele brated Professor. COVENT-GARDE.—Last night Mr. MACREAbT re• sumed his station at this Theatre, and performed the arduous character of Othello in a style of excellence that brought down the most unqualified approbation of a crowded audience. Mr. YArEs, as Ingo (though a character not quite suitable to his line of actinyl. was bight) , respectable. Mr. C. KEMSLE acted Copt° with all that ability which has long been the subject of universal admiration in this character. The drunken scene was most highly finished, and the plaudits or the audience were fervent and incessant. Miss Foors was an interesting representative of the gentle Destic mona. Mrs. FATu[T, as Emilia, merited the applause she received for the just inJignation at the vi!e knave" who abused Othello's ears, and for the spirit with which she braved both Othello and /ago in the last act.
