LONDON, MONDAY, JANUAtT 26, INC The last accounts from Madrid present a dreadful pie- tore of the situation of that country. A decree of the tyrant has doomed to the galleys, for ten years, all those who were Aleades during the constitutional system: the Marquis of Santa Cruz is included in this atrocious de cree. At Pampeluna the tribunals have been dealing their +errors to women : proceedings were instituted against some Liberal ladies, accused of having sung Liberal songs and declared against the absolute system, during the Con stitutional Covernuent. The Judges of these tribunals accordingly condemned one of those ladies, Madame Fran eoise Marais, to be (routine:eel at her own cost and expense, out of the kingdom ul Navarre, accompanied by an Algua zil ; and in ease she should be found in that district, four years imprisonment to follow ; another, Josepha Maria Alonso. was sentenced to two years imprisonment. and 1,000 lirres fine ;t le widow Eder i 3, 70 years of age, to six years exile, and to be conducted out of Navarre at her own expense ; another of these ladies. Mademoi sdle Illarigue, was doomed to four years imprison ment and a fine of three thousand five hundred francs. These atrocious sentences remind one of the revolutionary tribunal of France, and the fate of Madame Roland and others. Ferdinand and his minions are pow running riot in the wont excesses of tyranny. At Sangr's, en the 3d, ten hapless individuals were senteneed to periods of imprison ment extending from three to ten years, and to fines of ten, twenty, and forty thousand reels. This is the present dreadful state of things in that unhappy conntry—an atro cious tyranny, that makes the blood run cold. This would not endure a week, if the French were out of the country ; the hatred of the fanatics against them is every day in creasing ; a dangerous plot, widely directed against them, is said to have been diaeovered, and the troops arc in eimae- Tenon continually on their guard. The Constitution sent from France, and communicated by Talaru to Ferdinand, is stated to have ben rejected, by the advice of the General of the Conklin', end his followers among the Clergy. There now appears no prospect of establishing anything like tranquillity in Spain. What France will do under 2416 circuuutanas is yet to be seen. The deposition of Ferdinand and time substitution of his brother, Don Carlos, to the throne is talked of ; at Cordova his name is said to have been publicly mentioned. No change that can be made can render the state of things throughout that coun try worse than they now arc. Lisbon Papers from the Sth to the 11th of January, in elusive, readied us yesterday. The Gazette of Lisbon, the wretched organ of the existing despotism in Portugal, has lengthened exuacts from the Restourador of Madrid, cs worthy fellow-labourer in the same good cause in which Don Jelm and Ferdinand are now associated ; it copies I maily also from the Paris papers, on the same hopeless snhieet of South AlllCriell ; t continues too, the lugubrious details of the lest hopfuhnitslion to Rio de Janeiro, and the report of his Most Faithful Majesty's returned Commis 3:oners on that subject. The warfare of Spain and Portu gal against their emancipated Colonies, is now confined to words—" et j rcterra and the lies:oriel:dor and Madrid and Lisbon Gazettes, arc accordingly vomiting out all their idle thunders at the beck of both Cabinets. The Lisboa Gazette of the 9th han a long and laboured article on the subject of Brazil, the substance of which will Irr frond in our columns ; it is, for the greater part. a tirade of abir.e and illy( edve against Brazil, and its people. According to this denunciation, that country con tains " a variety of inhabitants from Europe, Africa, and " America, so that they can never form a nation in the " strict sense of the word." This is a new 'species of logic, which has novelty at least to recommend it. Suppose the population of Brasil to be of this description. what, we ask the Lisbon writer, is to prevent a national union ? I low VIM North America peopled ; had it not colonists fron every country in Europe? Ilow is Russia composts! at this day, where Poles, Tartars, Calmuca, Georgians, and many other nations, are united under the same vast rule ? What then is to prevent an amalgamation in Brazil' " We " hope (th'es paper says) soon to see our erring brethren " return to reason." If Brasil be peopled, as this Gazette states, how can they be the brethren of the PortugueseTi But prejudice always outrages both truth and reason. •"fliese who wakes (this dosausseibi adds) will fessilyi " perceive what a great increase of their burdens will be • required to maintain the necessary splendor of the Govern " meat: new branches of the Administration, a legislative " body, M in iteers in foreign eauntries if their independence ' should be recognised, all which expenacs have hitherto • been home by Portugal." The Legislative Body of Brazil, and its recognized independence, are wormwood to the Li-!on Candle and its employers. But if this line country were free from the despotism of the worthless llon Pedro, and fairly governed, its burtbens would not be increased by its independence ; nor did Perri:gal, during her supremacy, discharg. , from her European coffers the expenses of Brazil ; on the con trary, she drew from the diamond mines of that country, and her other resources, a large revenue, which was always remitted. The article in question then goes into a disqui sition on the extent and population of Brazil. which con tains, it asserts, more than two millions of square mars. An d o nly 3,iti7.900 inhabitants. The census of the Lisbon liazette is most tribune : we have strong doubts of its arca- Tiris population, it adds, which hardly exceeds -eel, the Azores, and Madeira. consists prove n great part of bee vicereine and little 11l re than a million and a When, of which only about 5t3.000 are Nitsticos, Mulattos, and Indians: Brasil amounting only, as this paper 1„Ono, and constituting the Brazilian nation. Intaber this /prejudiced article contains a true statement, or the contrary, of the state of Brazil and its population, matters little; the supremacy of Portugal did nothing kr the benefit of either, and could not improve the condition of either the Mulattoes, Indians, or Negro slaves. The despotism that now fetters Brazil will not, we think, be of long continuance; that fine country pos sesses vast recourees, and an immense trade. Portugal may as well abandon at once all hopes of regaining her power in the New World ; her supremacy, and that of Spain, arc for era extinct. An interesting letter, which will be found in our co lumns this morning, was addressed to the Editor of a Morning Paper, on Saturday, and we only regret it did not .ppear long since; it forms a full refutation of the distressing charges so long in circulation against his Royal Ilighneva the Duke of Clarence, for his alleged conduct to Mrs. Jordan. These charges were of such a nature — so loaded with ingratitude and inhumanity, that we are astonished the Duke or his friends could have suffeml the burthen of public odium to rest upon him so long ? It was publicly said, and until now never contradicted, that Mrs. Jordan, after living with the Duke for years, by whom she had several children, was unfeelingly flung off by him, without provision of any sort, and had died in destination in a foreign land; that after contri buting ben salary from the thea:re, during the whole period of her connexion with his Royal Ilighness, for the support of his establishment and children, even the repayment of this large rum, or any part of it, was, in saddest necessity, de n ied her ; and that, to escape the im- ' portunity of her creditors anal the horrors of a prison, for actual necessaries furnished to her, she had to fly from these shores in want and misery, and died soon after, de serted, with a broken heart. Such a tale as this was suf ficient to affect any character : nor was the story merely whispered in private circles ; it was blasoned with every heightened colouring, and the fullest publicity given to it is noonday. The consequence was a load of unpopularity fell upon the Duke ; he was charged with being heartless and inhuman—with having suddenly flung to all the vicissi tudes of poverty, a hapless woman, who hail shared his home and bed for years, and whose children he had publicly acknowledged. It now appears there was no foundation whatever for these foul reports, and that they were rank calumnies. The Duke, in the year Ist 1, on the separation which took place between him and Mrs. Jordan, provided for her most amply: he allowed her by deli!, 4,0001. a year, including 1,5001. for the maintenance of her four daughters; 615)1. yearly for a house and carriage for their use ; 1,5001. for Mrs. Jordan's own use ; and soul. to enable her to provide for Mrs. Allsop and two other married daughters, the chil dren of a former connexion. This was most liberal and gene rous, and merited anything but the total misrepresentation which followed on it ; the provision was a munificent one, and sufficient to give Mrs. Jordan and her children the ut most respectability and comfort: but prudence was a vir tue which she had unfortunately studied but too little through life ; reposing too much confidence in a near relatleN she became involved in large and inextricable embarsaass merits, and, in Ixl s, bail to quit England immediately; to avoid arrest, and soon after died at St. Cloud, in France. The allowance to Mrs. Allsop and her sisters, of 2001. a year each, made by Mrs. Jordan from the Duke's bounty, ceased on her death ; and unjustifiable means seem to have barn resorted to by Mrs. Allsop to compel its continuance. The Duke withheld the concession while menaces were used ; but now, we think much to his credit, makes an annual allowance to the surviving daughters. This ample and satisfactory refutation ought to have been put for ward before ; the Duke, and his friends, owed it to his character. nig conduct on the Queen's impeachment, and the dark tale of his conduct to Mrs. Jordan, loaded him with public obloquy ; against this his rank and family were no protection ; let him take his stand high its lie would, the overwhelming tide of public opinion would soon roll to his feet, and gradually rise above him. The Duke stands near the throne ; his succession is not distant, and the people naturally look to his conduct with jealousy. For ourselves, it gives us infinitely more pleasure to be the record of any acts of public patriotism, or private virtue or beneficence, by any of the Royal Family, than to hear or report any tale of error or prejudice ; we only regret it has not been the study of some of these exalted individuals to make themselves more respected and popular. How easily might they not do so, and at how little real sacrifice ! How warmly a nd enthusiastically has every trivial eflhrt of theirs, in that way, been received ! The vast majority of the people of England arc strongly attached to the principles that seated the I louse of Brunswick on the throne, and that attach meet emends from the public principle to the family itself; but they do not like Getman connections, nor German des p etism. l'wo of the Royal Family are now on the Conti nent--one at I lanover, and the other in Berlin ; bail schools, both, to lean' principles of British liberty, should they hereafter lie called to the throne. For ourselves, we think the 1.41.,-islation impolitic and illiberal, which compels the meml•ers of the Royal Family to form foreign alliances; it cannot accord with their feelings, and is as little suited to the taste of the country : every new connection of this descrip tion entails fresh inartliens on the people—a result that need not follow if they were free to marry at home. This sort of se lection has already, in one memorable instance, brought with it great domestic unhappiness, and been followed with a whole host of evils. Neither the court nor constitution of England can be benefited by German manners of German thspoisto; and the less of either impornal into this coun ny the better. We would wish to see the Royal Family so conduct themselves in public and private life as to be re spected anal beloved by all that i s of character in the coun try ; those who give them a contrary advice are their worst enemies: their best and only support, after all, is the conf.dence and afli etion of the people at large. The following is an extraet frotta a letter received by the Creole:— Rio JAN EIRO, Nov. 2.1.--Sir Thos.

We cannot say if it was in consequence of this, or some other event, that the French garrison was put, on the night of the ad, under arms. This circumstance has in a particular manner excited the atten tion of the public; and we hear of anew plot, the object of which is to compel the King to dismiss his Ministrt% and to renounce all ifirall of an amnesty.

A trial that hat just taken place before the Correctional Police of Rouen has brought to light • sew linen adireneed by the Clergy, that of being the proprietors of the public burial places, or at least of exercising an authority over them to the exclusion of the civil power. In • proms-verbal addressed to the Police by the privet officer of the Commune, it on stated that on the 23th December he was informed by V. Dupuis of the death of his brother. He gave orders to a workman to prepare a grave for the buriaL le. =d that the Curealso Informed of the circumstance, and Ida em ise had • grave dug. The officer of the Commune foundthat the workmen ot the Gun had opened a grave where a body lay to a state of putrefaction. Ishii* emitted a most disgusting odour. He ordered it to be closed, and der:land that the burial should take place where he had directed it. The Curate protested against the orders given by the officer, and declared he geoid nut perform any religious rites if the body was not interred its he ordered. In spite of tears and entreaties he persisted in his resolution, and the burial took place without his an:stance. It cannot be pretended in this case that the ref ussi was warranted by the Canons of the Church ; it was not the arbitrary conduct of the clergyman that was denounced before the Tribunal ; it was the outrage committed upon the officer to the discharge of his duty. A woman of &religious artier, and housekeeper to the Cur, had upon this occasion, under the eves of her master, heaped insults upon the officer, and treated him in the silent manner. She was condemned to a month's imprisonment and cests. IFroin the Coni-rier Francaia.) SPAIN. Al*nu!, JAY. 14.

We have received Lisbon papers to the Slel inst. Tley are principally filled with extracts from the Eng ll4h, French, and Spanish papers. The Lisboa Gazette of the Ist contains the following article on the necessity of putting down the spirit of independence in the South American Colonies:— _ LISBON, JAN. 1. After the many vicissitudes which we have witnessed in Europe ! since 171V.1, it seemed that humanity might hope for the repose, j which before that fatal year it had enjod, without any remark. able interruption for a long space of time; the revolutionary volcano, however, by its first and dreadful explosion in France, left the social edifice in such a ?minims state, that it has never since ceased to experience, front time to time. shocks more or less violent which threatened total destruction. Furious and terrible was that I which, in 11120, removed the Peninsula from the hinges of its ancient Monarchical Governments; this destructive spirit which a I sect, the sworn enemy of the Throne and the Altar, taking advan. tree of detestable machiavelieni, proceeded to seize the reins of the Government which it usurped, was, at length, shifted by loyalty and the powerful aid of a 3lonarch who is, doubtless, destined by Providence to close the abyss of revolution, both in his own king. door and in the other countries of Europe. Alt its marches now know, that there is no compromise to be made with the revolutionists without urdertnining the foundation of their thrones, and they areall convinced that it is only by a constant union, in principlesand practice, that it will be possible tocheck and gradually to exterminate Imm the face of the earth proud liberalism. which, supported by the secret fire of secret societies, with great dexterity and a fixed plan, and long meditated and established, does not lose a moment to deceive the incautious people-4o excite them against their C;overnments--and Ito bring on new disasters . All are convinced of the necessity of extirpating the evil, not only in Europe, but on the other aide of the Atlantic, where this hydra now furiously discharres its mortal venom. Hence, if it is suffered to exist, it will infect Europe in such a manner, that, tearing it to pieces amidst the fury of cruel and opposite parties, it will reduce it to the necessity of i interminable wars, and expose it to become, one day, the I prey of some rulventurer who shall know how to take advert ; tage of so many misfortunes. This, therefore, is the object which at present more particularly interests and occupies the atter ' lion of the Cabinets of Europe. They have, however, some dif ficulties to vanquish ; some time is necessary to balance the reel world interests of all nations. which' are more tie less involved in, the affairs of America. They have to weigh the means which seem the best calculated to recall to reason and duty their people, led astray by the factious, whose only object is to make thenselves the dictator. and governors of those whom they have deluded by their impostures. The year ltel will, therefore present, in the annals of the world, new events, which, we hope, will put an end to the disasters with which the spirit of rebellion of the revolutionary sect has afflicted all nations, and abase the pride of thin': whose only aim is their private interest, to the manifest injury of the rights of others, and of every thing that is legitimate and rational in the order of society. In addition to the above, we last night received adviccs to the 11th inst. The following are extracts:— The Gazettes of Lisbon, from the sth to the 11th January both inclusive, contain chiefly extremely . long extract' from the Reslaid sador of Madrid cod from the Paris Palters.

THE BRAZILS. The following intelligence from Brazil was received by the Lisbon Mail : Rio DE JANEIRO, DEC. 6. The Dario of Rio de Janeiro to the 19th Nov. contains the accounts of the dissolution of the ()coeval Assembly, he. The number of the 12th contains the account of the last sitting of the Assembly on the 12th, in which, after some debate, the Decree of the Emperor dissolving the Assembly was announced, and being read by the Secretary, all the Deputies withdrew, and several were accosted ut the doors as they were going out, after which his )lsjesty rode through the city amidst the general ands. mations of the people. The city was splendidly illuminated, and perfect order prevailed. The number of the 11th contains the following Proclamation:— " Brazilians !—One will unites us. Let us continue to preserve our country. Your Emperor, your perpetual defender, will assist you as he has hitherto done, and as he will always do, ei en at the hazard of his life. The extravagancies of men, led away by pride and ambition, were on the eve of precipitating us into the most horrible abyss. It is necessary, now that we are safe, that we should be as vigilant as Argus. The bases of our felicity, which we are going to lay, are the independence of the empire, its' integrity, and the constitutional system. By resting on these bases without rivalships, which are always odious, and which may overwhelm this colossal empire, we have nothing to! fear. These truths are undeniable. You know them well ' by your good setae, and, unfortunately, you were on the eve of knowing them better by anarchy. It the Assembly had not been dissolved, your holy religion would have been destroyed, and your gamients would have been drenched in blood. A new Assembly bas been convoked ; it will soon meet to deliberate on, a project of Constitution which I shall shortly present to you. I , should think that it will be so conformable to your opinions, that I I if pozsible, we ought to be directed by it, as a Provisional ('onetitu. lion. 1k assured that the only ambition by which your Emperor is inspired, is the desire of acquiring additional glory, not for' himself. but for you and for this great empire, which will be re spected by the whole world. The arrests which have taken :dace will be considered by the enemies of the empire as despotic. They are not so. You see that they are measures of police, Calculated to avoid anarchy, and to save the unfortunate persons themcives, that they may enjoy theirs in tranquillity, and that we may enjoy ours in security. Their families will be protected by the tiovernment. The safety of the country, a hiali has been confided to me as Per petual Defender of Ilraztl, in the supreme law which requires it. Place your confidence in me. as I place mine in you, and you will see our internal and external enemies at our feet, supplicating mercy. Let union, firmer union, bind Brazilian.lie who ad. keyed to our sacred cause—who swore the independence of this empire, is a Brazilian. " THE EMPEROR." The number of the 15th enntains two decrees : in the first the Emperor declares that he convoked the Assembly to sire Brazil from imminent danger, but that the Awenibly, haring perjured I itself, violating the solemn oath taken to the nation to defend the integrity and independence of the empire and the Emperor's dy nasty, be. as Emperor. and perpetual Defender of Brazil. had re wired to disonhe the Assembly, and to cdl another, to deliberate: an the project of &constitution which he will shortly present to it. In the second decree, his Majesty says, that in using the expression perjured in the forma? decree, he was far from interning to con fimiin the worthy representatives of the people with the faction that swayed the A-Nimbly. In a aubecquent manifesto the Em. perot further explains the necessity which compelled him to put a stop to the mad proceedings of the restless and revolationory fac tion which had succeeded in obtaising the preponderance in the Assembly. New iron gates, similar to those at Cumberland-gate, Ilytte-park, are being put up at the new entrance into St. James' Park, at the end of Pall Mall, previous to its being opened to the public. Frirday the Menai, It, Capt. H. Stewart, went out of Portsmouth hatbour. She will sail immediately for the North American station. AMERICAN PArERs.

It was proper and desirable that we should know as much as possible of the d-ngers to which we are earned. The question was then taken on the resolutioes, and it was agreed to without opposition. Mr. Livingston moved the following resolution : " Resolved—That provision ought to be made by law foe in. creasing the establishment of the lililitary Academy at West Point, se/ as to admit hod Cadets as students in the same ; and that the Committee, on that pert of the President's Message which relates to the Military Academy, be directed to prepare and bring is a bill aecordingly."

The Havanna papers of the 10th contain the Royal Decrees al lutled to above, tranalkions of which follow: " I, Don Francisco D.
