One or our most able diploniatists, accompaiiied by a numerous suite. is to repair bevy shortly to the Cougre►s of Sovereigns, at Aix•la-Chapelle. The public do not know whom the King has chosen fur this important mission, but there is every reason to suppose that one of his Majesty's Ministers will be intrustrd with it. At this mu. metal Spain has important interests to settle, and will powerfully solicit the mediation of some of the great Powers ; on the one side the United States have assumed such a hostile attitude, that it is not easy to see bow our diffirences with that Power will terminate ; they are of such a nature that it is affirmed our Ambassador is recalled.

The Viceroy of Mexico alto desires a reinforces meat of 3,000 men fur the gatrison of Yen, Cruz, to keep epee the communication between that city and Mexico. In Peru also our affairs are not in the most brilliant condition. How is it possible, in the circumstances in which we are, to provide for the expenses of such expeditions ?

Upon that occasion the deposed King suggested to his son the propriety of adhering to that form which, as Crows Prince, he would have been bound to observe.
