We haveveceived intelligence from Madrid, which,. thottgli not of a latei.date than that we gave yestei. day, contains some new facts and several rumour.. It is stated, among other things, that the COuncil of State opposes the ratification of the Treaty with Por tugal. The Ind icador is quoted for this report, which certainly is trot the best authority. According to private letters from Madrid, of the 22d ult. the rumour of. war with France had entirely subsided, and ►he greatest confidence was enter. ►.tined in the preservation of peace between the two countries. Letters of a still more recent date state, that the Scottish Ministry had at last become sensible of their error in the deci%ion they came to on the claims of this country, and that they are . now not Only pre paled to restore the vessels belonging to the country, seized in South America, but to withdraw theirytei tended blockade. At first considerable indiguatipn: was manifested, that England should choose a time' when they were under_ so much embarmsstnent,. to' -ogizate this question—they should have reflected,', that tli first duty of trGevernment. is to eirotd pro tection to its an 11 subjects. tate! upon, .indeed,..ns .ours his been by the Merchants sad :terest, to ailtitl , due protection again . * the depredn-:' Lions of - .iertation under arbitrary .and. tidiculonv t st; was inSpOssibk cot it, .even if .it had been desirousAoadelnialansive,. without in: -curring an.awful responiasilitY.. 'Nothing but blind passion could interpret an interference of this kind to recover an immense propeity, unjustly taken froai the subjects of this country, into an attof lwstilitY to the Spaniards. A private letter of the 29th ultimo, alluding to this subject, says 4—" A few days ago, San Michael had a warni altercation with the English Ambassador on the subject of some captures of Spanish merchant men by' English cruizers. The last Note of our Mi nister, it is said, was conceived in terms not very de corous. The English Minister did not think proper to reply in writing. He has had a conference with San Michael, in which, it appears, everything was amicably settled." In a Report made by the Committee of Public Credit on the Lean lately decreed by the Cortes, it is proposed, as one of the means tending to facilitate that financial operation, that foreigners who settle in. Spain, and purchase national property, shaiLbeexempt from taxes of every kind for the space of fakir lekrs. The rumour of war in Spain has given rise to some animated debates in the IdrindabUrianSnelety. In one of their recent Sittings Citizen 'LORAN thus addressed the Assembly : " Citizens! The rumour, •which I shall never believe—the rumour that France has resolved to make war on us, is the subject of every conversation. France, divided by numberless parties, none of which is disposed to support a throne that has bladed the glories of so many years; France, which has not forgotten its triumphs and ys misfortunes ; this France it is Which we hear has determined to declare war against us.—Vens glad of it, exclaimed a voice in the crowd, and the words were ap. plauded with singular enthuirEasme-They were often repeated, and applauded afterwards during the evening.) My soul overflows with }or when I witoess this noble enthusiasm of the people of bladrit; thus the Spaniards replied td the accents of the Sons o f 12adilla--titus they repy to those of the conquerors of Na. polecat. • Your voters siarair i ' in a ,wanner worthy of you, to those rostaursc proproaredi perhalio -by the very Men Whif ago a b oo vio a llo buried in the ruins which they are endrovouting to • Prt7artior !at'. • • • . •Cidelossl WPChliatiiiaNes ss anilif.France does not declare it, we .Mrs!—(mss V qua).—Base wretches souls of Mimeo, koillifilfittinlilef Men !• Hide yourlarts for shame 1 Preach' 144 1 ,0blust .

" It 'appears that the French Ghi,ernment hive forgotten the unburied bones of Frenchmen which cover our plains ; that they i r have forgotten the fierceness of the Spanish lions: let them come to us again, and they shall feeeive fresh proofs of our courage— (Applause).—lf this war shall be verified, we, after having se cured our rear, shall say to the French soldiers, ' What is your object Is it to aggrandize the tyrant who oppresses you, or to form a grand confederation of the South ? If the first, tremble ! Do you not know us? From the Pyrennees to Cadiz, the trench is open which will serve for your sepulchres--( Applause.). But if yon wish to be free—if you wish to gain that happiness of which despotism has deprived you—unite yourselves to us ! let us rush forward together, and we shall not leave a white cockade in the world ! " Then, Citizens ! the whole human race will hope for their freedom from our united arms. The brave, the enlightened of all nations, will call us their brothers; and if we full, at the very moment of expiring, we shall boldly look in the face of oar ene mies, and tell them—A Base slaves ! still there are men who will, avenge us!' " . The chief object of citizen PoEt, in ascending the tri- . btme,vr.l3 to receisimend the people to revive the snug called“Tragala" (or swallow it),whielt was prohibited in Madrid durin the late Ministry. This recommenda tion had such an effect that, before became down from the tribune the assembly joined him in singing the song. Bayonne Papers to the gd inst. ' reach ed us this forenoon. They contain various details of the move ments of the Constitutional forces, which shew that the insurrection is nearly exterminated. • In letter from Madrid it.is stated that the Bpanish , Government had received a Note from that of France„ liqt.that the pretensions which it cnotained bad: been Netted; and that, in an interview whitls the - Minister SAN ATIGI)2I. had on the 20th with M.

This statement ex cited our surprise on twdgrounds; the first is, that a negociation between the British and the Adstrian Governments might as well be conducted in London or Vienna as at Verona ; and secondly, on account of the small - sum claimed—only two or three millions, when Austria is, in fact, indebted to this country about seventeen millions, including interest. No debt was ever more sacredly contracted—it was, in fact, lent at a time that Austria was without a shil ling in her Treasury, and was engaged in a war which threatened her annihilation as au independent Power. The time of payment, which has been shuffled off by the most contemptible evasions on the part of Aus;: tria, has been tamely acquiesced in by the Ilri tish Ministers. , When it was first contracted, MKPhO•bintsted of the great advantage itToOld'be to England "to tab. min ample security and ,gitid'inteo4.,44.t.. the.SUM' lent, and yet neither principal oorliateteit have we ever been able to obtaitt..:.nothing, in fact, hist-a:few ship loads of halt rotten timber hat** had in mato.
