MADRID, DEC. 17, 1818.----A Courier arrived a - few days ago, by way of Brussels, from London, bringing thu melancholy particulars of the death of the Queen of England; but the letter from the Prince Regent to his Catholic Mjesrs, not having yet arrived, the order for the Coort . Mourning has not yet been given. The British Embassy and English are, however, all in deep black, and do not go to Court for the present. ty our recent accounts from Cadiz, the two vessels which, under the Insurgent flag, ahont eight months ago, plundered an English packet, have altived at that port, and are now, we sup pose, sequestered, and the masters and crews in prison, under a charge of piratage. The master of the larger vessel,. before sailing froth Cadiz, seas heard to declare, he wanted and would have money, with other impudent deci.rations, which contributed to their suspicion, led to their de• tection, and will uliniately !cad them to the scaffold.

A short time since, the Countess Munster was suddenly brought to bed, at art lon in Canterbuty, of twins. Whilst in this situation the Countess caught the measles, an d e.nonunicated them to the two children, Avlto both died under the effects of that dreadful disease. 511ottly after strived at the same hotel General Grant and his Lady : they slept in the btd previously occupied by the Collib!esi Munstcr, for one night, and then cause to town.

Early in the day, the rumour became pretty generally circulate,: and credited, that no less than 12 noocantile houses ni that city had suspended their payments. Front the intimate commercial union that subsists between tile two capitals, the ut most ati%iety was naturally felt by all persons connected with Paris to ascertain the real slum of affairs. The names of the parties who had really been dcelared insolvent soon became known, and proved the original accounts to have exaggerated nccir number as well as their import ance. We have ascertained front the most au thentic soloces, that as far us intelligence has been hitherto received, - only seven establishmetits have failed, and those, with two exceptions, are of subordinate rank. ' The following, we believe, may he depended on as a correct list of the houses in question :—Bovard, Bourdillon, and Co. ; Doyen; 'Martin de Parch and Co. ; J. Recamier; Desprez ; Ge. Danielle ; and Pargez.—lt is ma terial to observe, that no inference can be drawn from these failures unfavourable to the general state of commerce in Paris. We understand that. the houses above narned are all connected, more or less, with each other, and that the fall of one or two of them was likely to carry with it serious detriment, if tint ruin, to the others : nearly the whole of theni have emhatked in large specula tions its the funds ; indeed, it was the very fit st day (Friday last) of the liquidation or settlement of the time-bargains for the preceding month, that disclosed their inability to fulfil their en gagements : tl.at period had tint terminated whet) the last acconws lett Pat is ; and therefore, though there is every reason to hope that the utmost ex tent of the mischief is already known, the next at rivals will be anxiously looked for. The funds appear to have benefited rather titan otherwise by these apparently untalonfalde circomstances; the 5 per cents. being quoted on Ftiday, as we are We received this morming, the Paris Papers of Saturday last.

From The ,New Orleans Gazette of the 7th ult we copy the following Extract of a Le:ter from a Gentleman at Natchitoches, tinder dare of the 28th October JUAN BEHAN, NDI and JEZI3- ANGEL NAvAttao arrived bete last night, and con firm tie news of the arrival ,at Attaf , eo,‘ito of the expedition t‘hinit I alluded to in my last. It is unposed of 500 men, under the orders of Don JuAN de CASTANEMA. Two hundred men had made themselves masters of a fort belonging to General LALLSMAND, and CAST4NEDA had sent a dal: of truce to Galveston,which had not returned at the depArtore of BERAINIIN VI. The object of the expedition ...Tpears to have been to destroy this fort and Galvecon, and to intercept as notch as possible the trade of the Comanchez. They have left leo men on the Trinity, at a plantation called the Salts, 6 leagues on the main road. It would scent that the Commander does not wish to approach neater to the frontier, for fear of tier sections : 4 deserters have already come in." (Fr,nl the Charleston Courier of the 28th Nov.) NASSAU, OCT. 27.—8 y late arrivals from the coast of Florida, information has been received II( re, chit a brig, moped the Eliza, of Halifax, bad been found on the shore there, no person be ing on board, having several appearances of blood on the deck. Not far front tl4e brig were seen several persons at a tent, who, on the ap proach of a boat from one of the wreckers, made off in a boat which they had with them, leaving their bedding, &c. in the tent. There is reason to suspect that this vessel is the Eliza, of Halifax, Mutt Ptly, master, which sailed from Kingston, Jamaica, on the 11th ult. for Halifax,, and that the crew had destroyed the master of her, and made off wiih some money supposed to have been on board. The brig had no cargo when found. The crew of the wreckers being few in number, and having no arms, did not pursue the boat ; but., on r 4 ;oing to the tent, found the fellows bad left behind some bedding and clothes, as above stated. (Front The aurora of the 4th.) The report now in - circulation about General JACKSON'S resit nation has no foundation, other than his known sentiments occasionally expressed. The sinceri y of the Spanish or British Ministers are of about the same weight %vitt' him as one of the Abbe CORREA'S Botanical Lectures on Poli- I tics or Metaphysics. The talk of the reduction of the Military Ge neral Staff to one Major-General and two Briga diers, would be a serious affair to the General who did not save Sackett's Harbour, but was promoted for it. If General JACKSON must retire' l by any means, 'then the said Conqueror of Sack ett's Harbour would have " no rival near the throne." The `larqu►is CASA Yatno's anpaintmentto the Spanish Mitri,try is considered as a favourable indication of the good understanding that prevails between Spain and the United States, as his ex alter! opinion of the great virtues and talents of our great Statesmen is no secret. The negociation about Florida appears at a dead halt. The West Boundary, the Massachusetts, I'onlo Islands, in the Great Colorado, or Rio del Norte, are now the ostensible difficulties; but the real difficulties are matter of mere speculation. (From the Baltimore Chronicle of the 3(1.) The most important point to he decided in the Case of the UNITED STATES against TAYLOR is HOW discussing before the Court. The evidence on the part ot the prosecution having been closed yesterday, the Counsel for the accused offete►d in evidence a Commission from the Government of Buenos Ayres to THOMAS TAYLOR (the accused), as a Commodore in the service of the United Provinces ot South America, and moved the Court to direct the Jury that this Commission was a justification of the captures proved on ,the part of time prosecution.—General WINDER is now addressing the Court in support of this Motion.

LATEST PROM " HAVANA.-Captain GOULD, O il schooner Haitiot, who has arrived in BaHni ore , in ten (lays from Havana, informs, that, seve r s coasting vessels had been chartered as transports for the troops which, were preparing to emlo r for Pensacola.

The KING has 0 6- vionsly nothing at heart but the welfare of h is people. He scents to be fully sensible of the sittl a ' lion of the Country, and to be convinced fli° while there were differences in his Cabinet , t he business of the State must he impeded.

It has been strongly reported in the Political Cir f rleg this day and yesterday, that some m ove-. ments, it not changes, in Administration are sc. , tually on the eve of taking place. We cannot: yet speak f►om actual knowledge, but we believe that something has occurred which may render some arrangements more probable than wliol such reports were lately in circulation. We perceive that The .t Dublin Eve nin g Post- 0 Saturday last has quoted amply from The sun. lf that Paper were to do so more offer:, it would be sore of acting upon good information, all mi ; :ht by dcgrtes improve in its politic.' chit- lacter. We have given in another part of our Paper sketch of the Meeting which took place yesterdil in favour of Mr. Hostronss, at a public-hous e its Brewer-street. It collies from a Correspontleuc oho was present, but though he has t hrown ti ludicrous air over some passages, we are ass we't that it is altogether a faithful outline of vyll''r occ urred. We perceive that a Morning Pap er " 5 inserted n long account of Mr. HonnousE's SP erclL at this Meeting, and we cannot but wonde r 11 " t so respectable a Journal, which mightb e fill ; ( s. with lunch better matter, should have 108(0 columns with such abusive dulness, and hackneyed trash. Mr. HoßnousE, however, yes.. terday effectually threw off the mask ; he declared himself a friend to Radical Reform , w hich can mesll nothing but a Gallic Revolution, and, indeed , in) the course of his speech, lie hiuted that he expected a Revolution, but humanely expressed his hopes that it would not be attended wit honing, drowning, shouting, &C. &c. as wor the case with such an event in another Coun^, try. Ile also declared himself th e 0( 10.0 cute for Annual Parliaments and Universai Suffrage. Nay, he even said, that Parliame nts could not be too short. They sho u hl, be "as slual as possible." So that accordi t l g to , h.is or nio „ , nearly the whole, or indeed the wb' le Ok • every year s hould ,be occupied by Eiectiou-0" tests and riots ! if Mr. HOE,HOUSE thinks as h e spoke, he must be a very and it lie does not think so, what term c an be applied to his conduct sufficiently expres sive of in- - dign • He compared Parliameolary trusts with ation weak and ignorant Man* those of private me " to t h e ir Stewards, not aware • of the vast difference between the concerns of ptivate individuals anti what relines to the ho- !lour, the interest, and the security of au Empire. This is another proof of a very shallow mind, or of gross dh.simulation ; but from what we have heard of him, anti read of his productions, we are in clined to give him credit for deplorable imbecility of mh!.
