MADRID, NOV. 16.—Weplearn, by a courier just arrived from Valencia, that the Archbishop is con fined in the convent of the Trintty in that city.— The national guards and a troop of the line arc vi gilant and zealous in securing the sail:ty of' his per son, and protecting him from all insult on the par: of the people. Nov. 18.—After stating the dangers with which the Spanish capital was threatened by the late irre gular appointments made by the King, and that they were only averted by the vigour and wisdom of the loyal authorities, the accounts under the above date say, " Already the military command of the province is restored to Gen. Vi octet, and the King has notified his approaching return to the ca. pital.., These formal promises have quieted the peo ple." Nay. 19.—We arc assured that the King will return to Madrid this day. _ We are assured that the cx • Inquisitor General and Confessor of the King have been ordered to quit the Escurial. The apprehensions of a retrograde movement to despotism create such an excitement in the patriotic societies as cannot be described. Flow ever, tranquillity is re-established. No individuals have soared during the troubles; and the presence of his Majesty is expected to calm all fears. A ptivate letter of the above date mentions, that on the morning of the 17th, between seven and eigt o'clock, it was learned that a courier had ar rived from the Escurial, by whom the King sent back merely the despatch which was addressed to him the evening hefbrc by the President of the per raiment Deputation. %%ien this news spread, it caused the greatest agitation ; but the friends ofgood order went among the crowds of people in the streets, representing the advantages of uniting mo deration to firmness—the neces.ity of not sktllying the revolution by any excess- They made known that the deputation had sent a second courier to the King, that his answer would be received in four hours, and that, until then, the authorities would take cure the public weal should softer no injury. On these assurances the people diszersect ; but pre cisely at the cud of four hours the streets and pub lic places were again filled with multitudes. who loudly demanded that decisive measures should be taken. The Deputies who were still without an answer from the King, redoubled their efforts to prevent any excess, and to induce the people to wait the reply which the King would undoubtedly make to the energetic address which the authorities of Madrid had that day sent to him. At length, at ten o'clock in the evening, this reply arrived, and the moment its contents were communicated ail was qui( t. FRANKFORT, Nov. 22—We know from good authority that the treaty between Spain and the United States for the ecssion of the Floridas is really rai:fied. .1 he ratification of this treaty is not of:i (tally published yet, but will as erten as the Spanish Government has received front that of the United States intell.gence of the exchange of ratifications. We arc daily artired that a second army of 80,c00 men is to proceed to the Adige, as a res.2rve, when the first shah advance. Cie►► Bianchi (created Duke of Casalanza by Ferdinand), it is said, has refused, from feelings of delicacy and gratitude, to take the command of this expeditionary army. Report as signs it to Gen. Frimont, under the orders of the Archduke Ferdinand d' Este. The note addre”ied by Cuunt Cato d'lstra to the other Ministers, on the changes which have lately happened in the three countries in the south of Europe, is conceived, it is Laid, in a very p.teific Epirit.

'• The aiscontLitt of the regiment was at the ex tr..me, when on Saturday eveni 0., the 'z'.7tli, the soldier.; were commainle:! to hold r it imr•clves in rea diness for a grand manoeuvre on Sunday morning. Complaints “rose in every quarter ; it was said that the Colonel had no right thus to harrass the regi ment, and to deprive them of rest on Sunday, which is respected throughout the entire Russian army.— Their spirits were elevated, and the soldiers of the first company sent twenty of their men to the Colo nel's quarters, to declare that they would not obey him. Not finding the Colonel at home, they broke the windows of his house. _ _ " This state of insubordination continual diving the whsle of Sunday, t: c 0.11. The G.:ntral who commanded the division of the Guards, not Leing able to gain them over, orderad the soldiers of this company to a grand drill. They declared that they would not resist, but that they preferred exposing themselves to every punishment, rather than remain under the command of their Colonel. They were ordered to the thrtress, whither they went without hesitation. " The remainder of the regiment quickly gave the same example of resistance, and the same resig nation to punishment. Being called together on the 30th to the parade, the soldiers went without their arms, and in their gray eapotes. Gen. Polemson, their former Colonel, who was very much beloved, proceeded to form them into two battalions, but they immediately broke their ranks, and declared they would execute no manoeuvres until they saw the first co npany at their head. Mier three hours' useless attempts, they were ordered to the citadel, where they immediately currendered themselves prisoners. VIENNA, Nov. 16.—We hear nothing particular from Troppau some accounts say that the Ambas sadors of England And France continue to endeavour to set up fur their Courts a system of neutrality with respect to Naples. The English Ambassador (gues to Vienna almost every week. . . FitANKTeRT, Nov. ^3.—The following account, though containing some repetition of circumstances already published, will perhaps be Ibund interesting at the present moment, as exhibiting a general view of what is thought of the results of the conferences at Troppau : " All the letters from Vienna agree in saying that Russia and Prussia have given their full con sent to the military occupation of the kingdom of Naples by an Austrian army. The cabinet of Ber lin had already declared beforehand to the court of Vienna that it would observe a strict neutrality with respect to Italy, without recognizing the legi timacy of the new order of things established at Neplcs, but that it would readily askew to any thing that the Emper:n. of Austria should concert on this subject with the Emperor Aleander. The Crown Prince of Prussia did not hesitate to confirm, in the first confereneeq, this assurance given by his father, and it was therefore nut necessary to await the King's arrival to take a final resolution on the subject in the name of the three great powers of Eastern Europe. Accordingly on the '..29th of Oct Mier the first liirmal conferences, orders were des patched from Troppau to General Count Bellegarde, President of the Council of War at Vienna, who has succeeded Prince Sehwartzenberg, to take rnea sures that the Austrian army stationed in Italy may be ready to march. This order must have reached the head-quarters at Treviso some time ago. It is luunvn that General Frnnunt, Commander-in-Chief of the army of observation, had caused some corps to retrograde, in order to facilitate the subsistence of the troops, which had revived the hopes of main tenance of peace ; but by subsequent orders all the corps arc concentrating oe the left bank of the Po ; ana it it , even said that sonic of the troops will be stationed on the right hunk. Nevertheless, there is I reason to believe that the Austrians will not pass the tiontiete of Lombardy during the tuenth of No vember. The time of their advanee will depend on the &cation of the negotiation opened with the , Courts of Itoine and Turin, as well 'as on the issue cf these which have been carrying on since the opening of the conferences at Troppau with the King of Naples. At Vienna they seem to be per suaded that the occupat.ion of the kingdom of Naples will not meet tt jilt any difficulties, and that the war will be of very short duration. They think that on the approach of the A utsrian army a counter revolution will put an end to the new crder of 'hinge, are that the ancient !lorernment of Ft:rai n:am, will be t:.talilished without much bloodshed ; fir this reason Prince Itufib, who enjoys the mill- Ceme of King Fcu'dinand, will repair to the l oet d- , ; eart e r, atilt. Austrian army, mid will accom pany it to Ndplcs, to direct the negotiations on this bead. " At the departure of the last letter:: from Vienna, well informed tn:,;n:: kid Liowletlgc of a ;metre se: tel to the Sovereigns assembled at Troppau, re lative to the al sirs of Naples, by Lord Stewart, the British Am'xissador ; but it was supposed that this note would make no change in the exeoution of the measures concerted between the Cabinets of Vicuna, St. Petersburgh, and Berlin. " The war• which is on the point of breaking out in Italy ic, however, not the only thing which engages the public mind. This war seems to be but a part of the vast and important measures which will emanate from the Congress at Troppau, if the accounts which are in circulation, and which have not been officially contradicted, merit any conf i d ence . The Ministers of the Diet are hitherto in the same, uncertainty on this subject. No delegate of any State whatever of the second rank is admitted to the conferences at Troppau, or even un the spot, to make his report. The Austrian police has even remora from the trown all strangers who are not personally attached to the Congress. Negotiations are said to be on foot between aeveral German Sovereigns to taka measures in common, after the example of the Great Powers, and to form a clo.;e alliance for the protection of their mutual interests. Since the re port has bsen spread of a project to exchange two Hanseatic cities fin. the cities of Dantsic and Thorn, we, at Feanktbrt, are not without alarm for the independence of our free city. We, however, flatter ourselves that the re-establishment of the kingdom of Poland in liivour of a great northern power will meet with so many obstacles, that Prussia will not be called upon to cede those two fortresses on the Vistula which are situated in the midst of its terri tory. As for the formation of three great Protee turates, or the division of Continental Europe into several great supremacies, it seems difficult to Le. lieve the possibility of such a plan. " A Maritime Confederacy of the States lying on the Baltic, of which Russia would be the head, is said to be in contemplation. It is intended to regu late the commerce and m.vigation of that sea in such a manner that the States on its coasts may hence fbrward derive more advantages from their geogra. phical situation." Letters from Milan say that the Papal Government has acceded to the n-quisition of Austria to ailow the army to pass through the Roman States, on condition that a convention shall b.: concluded fir the maintenance of these troops during the time they remain in the Roman territory. The conclu sion of this convention is at present negotiating :It The Quebec Gazelle, of the 24th, contains the annual report of that useful and benevolent insti tution, " The emigrant society of Quebec." One of their earliest objects was to fbria an estubilshment for the sick,, the helpless, and the infirm, for which purpose one of the military buildings on Cape Dia. mond was set apart by the permission of the govern ment, and, under the sanction of the inspector of hospitals ; the professional aid and medicines of the medical department were furnished to these wretch ed strangers. The funds of the society, arising out of annual subscriptions have not exceeded 6001. and with that sum, independently of the assistance rem.. dered to the inmates of the hospital, who were 500 in number, from thirty to fortyp,lpless individuals, had been supported, who must have perished with out such assistance. The society has also trans mitted addresses, and caused them to be circulated in Great Britain and Ireland, with the view of enlightening those persons who meditated emigra tion from the mother country, on the difficulties they were likely to encounter, and bad in conse quence re -en to believe that though the tide of emigrants was not expected to be lessened, yet that the emigrants in general were of a better class and description, with more substance, better information, and clearer views. An article front Montreal, dated October 28, states that the Metho dist Conference (commonly known by the name of the Wesleyan Methodists) have come to the resolu tion of withdrawing their missionaries from the upper province, in comfequence, as is supposed, of the difference existing between the 'latish and American missionaries in that part of Canada. On Wednesday last the Duke of York passed through Norwich on his way to Lord Suffield's, at Gunton. The remaining barriers near the House of Lords were on Friday removetl by the workmen connected • with the Board of Works. Sentinels arc still sta tioned at the entrance to the House of Commons, and befiwe the passage leading. to Cotton-garden ; but there is not any sentinel at the cutiance to Palliament-street. Sir Alexander Ramsay, Bart. of Balamin, Scot. land, has intimated to his tenants that - he does nut wish them to sell their grain at the present inadeTtate price:; and in order to enable them to wait tin better times, has assured them, that their rents due at Martinmas, will not be exacted for several months. -va.INNIIM f 'r • r. i~t.~t~ 392 ..-.,...,,
