From the Paris Papers of Tuesday, extracts ,from which we have Inserted in our preceding eOlumns, our Readers r wilLsee that private letters had been received from Madrid, which mentioned fac ts of so important a nature j AhAt it was deemed prudent to await their confirmation by the arrival of Madrid Papers, before giving them publicity. Marshal OUDINOT and Marshal MONCEY (Duke de CONEGLIANO) have set off for the army.— From oqr private intelligence, as we stated yesterday, we believe that they will be im mediately followed by the Duke d'ArwouLotc. We yesterday exclusive :y announced the receipt of Dispatches from Madrid. All the particulars of the important information which we in con sequence laid before the Public are correct. ex cept that in the hurry of receiving the com munication at so late an hour, there was a slight misunderstanding respecting the rein statement of the Spanish Ministry. That intelligence had no reference to the attempt which had been made by the KING to change his Ministers on the 19th ult., but to their final re establishment in office, under the unanimous sanction and applause of the Cortes and the Public, after a new Ministry had actually been nominated on the second instant, consisting of FLORES ESTRADA, LORENZO CALYO DE ROSAS, JOSE ZORAQUIN, ROMAI, JOSE M MIA. TOR- Ruos, and DIES DEL MORAL. The old Ministers, therefore, whose conduct has ob tained for them the confidence of the Cortes and of the nation, are more firmly secured in their seats than ever. The,Speech of the King of SPAIN, at the opening of the Session of the Ordinary Cortes, on the Ist instant, which we his day publish, bears honourable testimony o their Administration.• From that document, of so much importance at -the present crisis, it will be seen that Spain, as we exclu sively announced yesterday," is finally and irre vocably determined to abide the consequences of the war." The KING, in his Speech, declares, that Spain, in reply to the insidious intimations of the. Continental Powers of the Holy Alliance, has solemnly manifested to the world that her fundamental laws can only be dictated by herself, —that those who attack this principle by an appeal to arms, give the most decisive proof of the injustice of their cause,—that the Power which has resolved on sending a hundred thou sand Frenchmen to settle the domestic affairs of Spain, is unworthy of being replied to by the Constitutional Meg of the SPAINS, and has cover ed itself with the mantle of the most detest able hypocrisy,—that the best reply to the Speech of the French King, will be the energy, the firm ness, and the constancy of the Spanish Cortes,— that to capitulate with an enemy whose bad faith is notorious, would be to admit that the nation is already subdued,—that rather than submit to the ignominy of receiving laws im posed by force of arms, the magnanimous Spanish nation. will again hasten to combat for independence and civil liberty,—that the KING himself, for his own part, once more, offers to the National Congr'ess the co-opera tion of all his efforts to repel force by force,--- and, that the seasonable removal of the Royal Person, and of the Corks, to a point less subject to the influence of military operations than Madrid, will paralyse the efforts of the enemy I---1n short, every sentence of the Speech breathes the firmest defiance of France, and manifests a►► unalterable determination to sustain the contest to the last extremity, and rather to perish with the country than to dishonour it by submission to foreign dictation. 'We have only glanced at some of the features of the Royal Address, which embraces several other topics equally important. The contrast between the sober dignity and consistent patriotism of the Cortes, and the turbulent violence and fanatic zeal of the Chamber of Deputies, is not more striking, or more honourable to Spain, than that which is now presented by a compa• rison of the manly and spirited Address which has been delivered to the Spanish Cortes in the name of FERDINAND VII. with the frivolous but insolent puerilities which were addressed to the French Chamber by Louts X VIM! Matters between France and Spain having arrived at their present extremity, it is clear that the best policy of Spain was to' de clare war, soon after the Speech of her KIN‘. to the Cortes, without allowing France any further time for the security of her commerce, and the completion of her preparations. That a Decla• ration of War had actually been issued, we yesterday stated on respectable authority.— Should it be received by the next dispatches from Spain, which may from various circum stances be expected, it will be nothing more thnn the natural consequence of the deter mined spirit already evinced by the Spanish Government and Legislature. Come when it may, it will abundantly establish the accu racy of the line which this Paper has pursued in treating of foreign affairs.—lf the Spanish Goverpment has really resolved on striking the first blow, it doubtless feels that it possesses the means of following it up with vigour, and of sustaining with firmness the shock and struggle of c conflict.

We received the Bayonne Papers, of the 6th inst. this morning ; they state, that Lord LIM.. SON Gowi:a arrived there from Madrid that day, on his way to England ; that the passage of the extraordinary Couriers from Madrid continue with the same activity as hitherto, but the mails, which ought to have left that Capital on the 23d and 27th uR. had not yet arrived at Bayonne. This delay had given rise to various 'reports ; that on the sth an extraordinary Courier passed through that City, who left Madrid on the I st, where every thing was perfectly tranquil, and that an approaching change of Ministry was much spoken of. The battalions of the 23d re giment of the line, two battalions of the 20th of the line, one of the 2d regiment of light infantry, were to encamp on the 6th between Urrague and the Bidassoa, and the other corps that were expected there, would proceed suc cessively to the same destination. Lodgings were preparing in the Episcopal Palace of that city for his Royal Highness the Duke of AN GOULEME, Monseigner d'AnTots having taken only a small lodging at Bayonne. [FROM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK E7CCHANGV., Twelve o'Clock.—ln con sequence of the warlike intelligence from France and Spain, Consols opened this morning at 73 -I- with great bustle in the Market.— They got up, however, to 731. The ex presses from Paris have brought the French Funds at 77f. 50c. ; Spanish 312. A report has been prevalent that a French regiment has gone over to the Spanish Constitutionalists, which immediately raised Spanish Bonds from their opening price of 29, 9.84 to 294 There is but little business doing up to this hour. Half-past Twelve o'clock.---This moment it is reported that another Express has arrived from Paris, with intelligence of a change of the French Ministers, three of whom, it is said, have gone out. I cannot vouch for the truth of this; I have just learned, however, that a Broker of great eminence has been perchasing largely within this hour. There is as yet no confirmation of the alleged desertion of a French regimens to the Spaniards. AVe received this moruing Norfolk (Virginia Papers to the 18th February. COUNtODORE PottrEleS SQUADRON.-011 Wed nesday morning about ten o'clock the signal for sailing being given all the li g ht vesse ls of the squadron got under weigh, and beat down into the Roads ; they were followed by the Peacock, flag ship, which was towed down by the Steam galliot Sea Gull,and in the afternoon the Sea Gull returned and towed down the Decoct, store ship. Not having seen any person from the Roads yesterday, we are unable to say whether the squadron proceeded to sea yesterday. II Am.—Letters from Port-au-Prince to the 16th ult. have been received at Boston. They represent the situation of affairs there as very deplorable; no disposition to re-build the place. Many persons who have money refuse to pay their debts. The Government was about re building the Custom-house. Lumber would not bring cost and charges ; d r y goods were un saleable. 'Fitz KlNG.—(Brighton, March lt.)—After the very favourable symptoms of yesterday and the day before, upon which we had the satisfac tion to report, we cannot, on this occasion, give a better account of the SONgUEIUN'S most favour.. able convalescence, than by stating the precise words of the answer to the several , enquiries at the Palace to-day, morning and evening, upon the important subject, anti which was—" His 11.14Jzsr Y is better." Yesterday, Mr. HuNTER, the King's Mee• !longer, arrived at the Foreign-Office, Downing street, from Vienna. he Serjeant ME►tctEß is daily receiving fresh proofs from his comrades of their approbation of his conduct. A great number of the grenadiers of the 3d battalion of the 2d legion of the Na tional Guard are about to present him with a gold snuff-box, with an inscription alluding to his conduct on the 4th of March.—(French Paper..)

DRURY..LANE.—The success of The Marriage of Iliguro at Covent-Carden induced the Mena gerSto bring it forward last night at this Theatre, and it was altogether supported with great spirit. Count filmaviva was well sustained by the bustling spirit of ELLISTON. Miss STEPHENS had more of vivacity in Susan than might be ex. pected, as the pensive cast of characters is more consistent with her stile of acting. Her singing was admirable. Mrs. AUSTIN its The Countess, and Mrs. HuGuEs in The Page, but chiefly LISTON BS Figaro, gave animation to the piece.-- The Theatre was crowded in all parts. CovENT-GARDEN.--The Comic Opera of The Woodman, written in the good old stile of rustic simplicity, and rendered very popular in its d.ty by the variety of its characters, the interest of the plot, and the beautiful music of SHIEr.n, was revived at this Theatre last night.—We hardly need add that it was written by the present Sir HENRY BATE DUDLEY, Bart. who now having leisure might again employ his talents to the gratification of the public, if he were not restrained by the serious duties of his calling. But his Lady, whose poetical powers are justly admired, may, we hope, be induced to exert them in a dramatic shape. The Opera was in general very well supported last night, as our Readers Will conclude, the character of Sir Walter Waring,. that of O'Donnell, that. of Emily, and that of Miss Di Glacial, being as. signed to FAWCETT, CONNOR, Miss PITON, and Mrs. DAVENPO It; and the others, were not inju diciously distributed. This Opera i free from the forced puns and bread buffoonery which generally characterize modern compositions. The frequent repetition, therefore, of this piece, of Lope in a Village, Lionel and Clarissa, and other works of a similar description may, however, tend to re vive that simplicity both in the drama and in the accompanying music which has too long been abandoned,and which ought to be restored for ,e credit of public taste.
