SPAIN. The Journd of Valencia gives the formula of the oath taken by the Royalist Volunteers of Murcia. We subjoin the harangue addressed to these troops by their Commandant, and the form of the oath taken : " Royalists !—You have taken before the symbol of loyalty the oath of fidelity which the Royal Ordinances prescribe. I am well satisfied, but I exact still more from you. We ought now to consecrate our vows to the Almighty, and to make known to the whole world how far extends that homage which we voluntarily, and with pleasure, render to the best of Sove reigns. The Royalist Volunteers of Murcia dedicate them selves to God and to their King. Identified with these two principles, which ought to govern us, we shall be invincible; the enemies of the Altar and of the Throne will tremble, and • we shall fulfil the duties imposed upon us by nature. There fore, Royalists, " Do you swear to God, and promise to the King, not tri per nor admit on your soil, any other religion than the Catho lic, Apostolic, and Roman, which you , profess ; and to shed for t even" the twit drop of your blood P—Yes, we swear it.

" Colonel Commandant." CADIZ, OCT. 29.—The declaration of war by the Regency of Algiers does much injury to the commerce of this city, from the prudential mea sures ordered by the Board of Health. Vessels coining from the West Indies, instead of entering- Cadiz, were obliged to go and perform quaran tine at Port Mahon in Minorca. Now that this quarantine is fi nished, we have three frigates, a brig, anti a schooner, which cannot go out of port without fear of being captured by the Barbary corsairs. Some time ago the merchants applied to Government for a sufficient force to protect them when they sailed, and to convoy them hither, but it seems that more important matters have not allowed it to attend to this. In conse quence, the owners, underwriters, and other per. sons interested in the cargoes of these ships, are going to meet, in order to make measures to ob tain a convoy of some kind or other, which may re lieve these vessels from the situation in which they now are placed. MADRID, Nov. 11.--The conferences between the Charge d'Affaires of France, the Spanish Mi nisters, and the European Ambassadors, still con tinue at the Escurial. The General-in-Chief, Cana - Digeon, frequently attends them. It ap pears that the Ambassador from till United States also takes an active part in them, for he has spent foul days Fuccessively at the Escurial. We tire assured that in these conferences, the Anms sailors are much less occupied with the evacua tion, than with the means of preserving peace in flu rope. The ,garrison at Badajos will march on the I.'3th inst.; the infantry will proceed to Cadiz, the cavalry towards the Pyrenees.

INDIA. DECCAN ARMY. •:.... Mr. EDTTOR—The peculiar circumstances of the case of this gallant Army have been partially noticed by several of your contemporaries ; but they do not appear to be possessed of a very ac curate knowledge of the nature or extent of it ; or of the prize -money which the troops are entitl ed to ; or of the difficulties and disappointments they have encountered in the progress of their claims. It is now about seven years since the ter. urination of the Mahratta 'War, and nothing has been paid to this Army on account of the immense booty which, after very hard fighting, they cap tured. Some thousands of the troops, which con sisted of above sixty thousand men, have since died, and others are again engaged in the service of their country, in a war with the Burmese, who , have thereby increased their claims to the atten tion and interference of His Majesty's Govern ment. To enable the public to form some idea of the extent of the booty taken by them, dur ing the late war, and of the benefits which have accrued to the East India Company, I send you the following general statement, which I brought from India, and having a considerable interest in the booty, I am naturally anxious to obtain my just share of it as early as possible ; for I feel, in common with the whole Army, great disap. pointment at the delay which has taken place in the division of it.

But from the peculiar mode in which their accounts are submitted to . Parliament, it is impossible to ascertain it. The Legislature should, therefore, require the Com pany to deliver in more simple and detailed ac. counts of each branch of their revenue, and of the source from whence it arises : and they should likewise produce annually a more minute and particular statement of their effects, than those they have hitherto presented to Podia to,nt, In one of their late accounts, presented during the last Session, I am informed that the large Nassuck Diamond is included, and describ ed as part of THEIR OWN assets, and valued only at 18,0001., though their Officers in India were of fered 25,0001. storing for it ; and it has been stat ed, but how truly I know not, that it has been valued in England, by Ail eminent Jeweller, at 62,0‘.)01:! ‘Vhatever may be the real value of this splendid Diamond, or the Nagpoor State Jacket, it is quite clear, that the East India Com pany have no right to either, and consequently that both must be surrendered to the army, or an equivalent in money paid for them. At this dis. tance of time, it is impossible to ascertain, with any degree of accuracy, the true extent and value of ALT. the public property taken during the late short, but glorious and successful war in India ; for, in addition to the booty previously mention ed, there stilt remains in the bands of many of the Natives, who refuse to give it up, immense quantities of public treasure, and I understand that the Company have recently been obliged to resort to their Law Officers to enforce its delivery to them. Yet during the long period which has elapsed, and with the knowl e d ge w hi c h the Com pany must hove poBsessed of the value of the booty which has for years been in the posses sion of their Civil Servants, and from which the Company must have derived great facilities in various respects, no effort has been made by them to obtain a division of any part of it amongst the troops, although their own forces constituted the greatest' part of the Deccan Army, and the Company could not be insensible of their claims on its gratitude and liberality ! How far such conduct is politic or wise, it is not necessary for me, at present, to discuss; but if the East India Company are really desirous to cherish " the good spirit" which has hitherto ani mated their troops, they will not any longer he sitate to do justice to their claims, and imme diately enable the trustees to proceed to a divi sion of. a considerable portion of the booty, and thus relieve the distresses, not only of the pri vates, but of a numerous body of deserving Offi cers of both branches of the Army, who are now labouring under extreme privation and distress from the want of their prize -money, and front the losses they have sustained by the recent failure. at Hydrabad. Indeed many of them have been staying in London, since the detaision.of the 'l'rea- sury, in the expectation of realizing their portions of the booty, whatever it may be. Animated with every sentiment of 'loyalty to my Sovereign, and I trust 'a well-directed zeal and attachment to the Public Service, I cannot but feel for many of my brave comrades who have relied too much on au early division of this booty, and thus have placed themselves in difficulty and distress, and therefore I am in• duced to send you these cursory remarks, in the expectation that they may attract the attention of some of our Patrons in Leadenhall-street, and induce the Court of Directors to facilitate, by every means in their power, the division of the booty in question. It has long been a subject of complaint that the Army has not been placed on the same favourable footing in matters of Prize as the Navy, and surely there tan be no rational objection to both the Services being equally pro tected. It is said in the military circles, that the CommANnER-IN•CHIMF has, with his accustomed anxiety to promote the welfare of the Army, made several attempts to obtain such a beneficial regulation, thougk without effect ; but on what ground, and in what quarter it has been objected to, I have not been able to ascertain ; Much may be said respecting the East India Company's Army, and likewise of the regulations, which relate to the King's troops whilst in India; it is, however, a subject of great importance, and must not be lightly touched upon. It must become a subject of Legislative consideration at no distant period, when in all probability the whole of the forces in British India, and its dependencies, will be placed under the controul of the COMMANDER.. in-CniEr. If India is to be saved and rendered available to the Mother Country, for the pur poses of commercial intercourse, a more liberal system must be pursued, and a variety of regula. tions which are now enforced, abandoned. I for bear to continue this subject at present, but which, with your permission, I will resume very shortly. or .£864,000 I Cheltenham, Nov. 19.

Yesterday, the Royal Company of Archers, King's Body Guard, gave a dinner in the Assembly Rooms, George's-street, to his Grace the Duke of MONTROSE, on the occasion of his being appointed Captain-General of the Royal Company. At six o'clock, upwards of 120 of the Royal Com. pany and several persons of distinction sat down to dinner. The Hon. General Durr, upon very short notice, agreed in the handsomest manner to take the Chair, in consequence of the unexpected absence cf Lord Engin, President or the Council. The dinner was served up by Mr. tevensen, of the Black Bull, in a handsome and elegant style. The dessert consisted of every delicacy of the season, and the wines were excellent. During dinner the band of the Royal Dragoons played several martial and national airs, and afterwards Gow entertained the company in his usual happy manner. Among the distin guished strangers present, the thllowing were noticed s-- The Lord Provost; the Right Honourable Lord Register; Lord Advocate; Colonel Clifton ; Major Younghusband ; Major Drummond ; Capt. Cockburn, R.31.V.C. The Earl of Fife, Viscount Alelvile, Sir Thomas Bradford, the Solicitor General, and several other distinguished indivi duals invited, were prevented from attending. The cloth being removed, Dr. LEE returned thanks. The Ctuan.stAx then gave—" The King" —God bless him —four times four.—(Great applause.) " God save the " - The Mark."—Air," Laddie lie near me." " Royal Family."—Air, " Of a noble race was Shenkin." " Duke of York and the Army."—Air, " Britons strike home." " Lord Melvile and the Navy."—Air, " Rule Britania." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the next toast, said, he would not attempt to address them at any length. He was a sol dier, and not accustomed to make long speeches, but in what ha intended to propose, he was sure that he spoke not only his own sentiments, but those of the Royal Company of Archers. " The health of His Grace the Duke of Mon. trose, Captain of his Alajeuty's Body Guard."—Four times four, with applause. The OW annx embraced that opportunity to present his Grace with his Commission, appointing him to the high station of Captain-General of his Majesty's Body Guard for Scotland. • The Duke of MosmosE, in reply, stated, that he felt much impressed by the h onour t h e Royal Company had done him i n choosing him to fill the honourable station of Captain-General. The honour was most unexpected, and he received it with gratitude. To be chosen by them, and placed at their head, was in itself a great h onour, but that honour was still greater from the singular circumstance of being elected to succeed immediately after the noble person who last filled the office,—a nobleman whose death was felt not only by the Royal Company, but by all Scotland, as an almost irreparable loss. That Noble Earl held as wide a space in theheart of every Scotsman as any man now alive could possibly aspire to. For himself he would only say, that he would endeavour' to fill the high station to the best of his ability, and to do every thing in his power to promote the welfare of the Royal Company. His Grace concluded by giving as a toast— " May increased esteem and honour fall on the Royal Com pany of Archers, the King's Body Guard for Scotland. Air— " A.rcher's March." " The glorious loth of August, the day of his Majesty's landing, when the company fi rs t ac t e d as t h e Ki n 's Body Guard , "—(Applause.) —Air—" King George the Fourth's Welcome to Auld Reekie."—" Carle now the King's come." " The Right Honourable the Lord Provost, and pro. aperityto the City of Edi n b urg h. Air—" Flowers of Edin. burgh." His Lordship shortly returned thanks. The Criatnatior, in proposing the memory of the eminent individual, to whose merits the Captain-General in his ad dress had already paid so just a tribute, said it was almost un necessary for him. to add a word more. His name and his fame were already known over all Europe; and all honour. ed and respected it. " The memory of the Earl of Hope toun, their late Captain-General."—Drank in solemn si lence. The CAPTATN-GENERAL g ave--" The President and Council of the Royal Company.' —(Applause.) Admiral Sir D. MILNE, in the absence of the Noble Lord, who was fully expected to have taken the Chair on this occa sion, and as 1% Member of Council, returned th a nk s . The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of the Earl of Dalhousie, and Presenting him with his commission of Lieu tenant-General of the Body Guard, in room of the Duke of Montrose ' said, as a b rot h er so ldi er h e h a d a d u ty to perform which a deficiency of expression rendered it very difficult in him to accompli s h. The Earl of Dalhousie was well known to the British army a s an officer who was honoure d a lik e f or h i s talents and hi s ga ll antry. The Earl of Dar.nouSlE replied. He did not deserve all the compliments which had been heaped upon him by the Honourable Chairman, though he could have wished to merit them. He was glad, after so long an absence, to see so many around him whom he bad known as. companions anti. privates to the BOY Guards. It was also u matter of which he could not be sufficiently proud, nor could he express his sense of the honour done him. when he felt that during his long absence he had not b een f orgotten by them. Circumstances had also oc. curred since he left Scotland, that made him consider his st Lion not only a mark of promotion, but a public distinction, of which arty Scotchman would be proud. It was high, honour- able, and enviable ; and in that view he hoped they would ba the honour th ey l i ad l ate a' n lieve he con s ide red it. He begged heartily to thank them for had drank his h ea l th.— " Earl of Dalhousie ' s March. " Major Bur-sums gave the " President and Council who were • e in office durin g i f l e o rr y e a d o v n is h i i t t . l . l , , and for the manner they The CAPTAIN-GENERAL assured the Body Guard that their services on that occasion bad met with the warmest approbation of his Majesty. The Gentlemen were all satisfied, and the Ladies declared that they were never kept in such good or d er. --(Much lau lAuer and applause.) ,4 The health of Sir David Milne," a British Admiral, of whom Britain, and particularly the city of Edinburgh might be proud; b e was tilt last wan who had been .called upon to chastise our enemies, his conduct at Algiers was well known.— (Much applause.)—Air, " Dainty Davie." " Lord R. Ker and the General Officers of the Body Guard.' —Air, " Kind Robin lo'es me." The CMAIILMAN, in proposing the health of the " Duke of Wellington," felt it unnecessary to preface that toast with any remarks. The name of that hero, he thought, spoke for itself. —Air, " See the conquering hero comes.' Song " Broad Swords of old Scotland," by a member of the Royal Company, which was ,well received. from its happy allu sions to the fame of " Mont and Dalhousie our ain." The CHAIRMAN begged tothank the Treasurer fOrhis kind ness in favouring them , with amexaellent song; and for his general assiduity and attention to the interests of the Body Guard. The TREASURER returned thanks, remarking that he would at any time rather sing a song then make a speech. " The Lord Register Member f or th e c i t y." His Lordship, in a neat speech, returned thanks for the honour which had just been paid him. HENRY JARDINE, Esq., considered it as painful at all ti roes to devote a toast to the memory of a departed friend. They can never forget, however the 22d of August, or. which day the late Marquis of Lothian did the d u ty of Lieutenant General, with such credit to himself and the company. It was not in this company that he could indulge in any panegyric on the worth of that Nobleman.—" the Memory of the Marquis of Lothian." " The Earl of Morton, Lord Lieutenant of the County of Mid Lothian, and a Major-General of the Body Guard." " Sir George Clerk, the M.P. for the County." " Baron Clerk Homily, and the Courts of Justice." By some oversight the company did not rise on this toast being given. The Baron good humouredly noticed the omis sion, remarking, that he felt obliged to the Chairman that he had not been called upon to rise, for he was determined to keep his seat as long as he could.—(Laughter.) Baron CLERK then said, that from the rank he held in so ciety, it was rather too much for his name to be introduced at so early an hour of the evening. It had, however, been coupled with the names of gentlemen of such talents and eminence, that it made the honour still more distinguished. As he had been brought upon his legs, he would, before he sat down, pro pose as a toast, the health of an eminent individual, high in law, high in archery, and high as a soldier—" Th e L or d Pre sident.' He was a man alike respected by society in general and by the Royal Company of Archers.—(Much applause.)— Air, Charlie is my darling." The CHAIRMAN.—" The health of the Duchess of Alontrose, and prosperity to the family of their Noble Captain General." Air, Blythe, bl'the an' merry was she." The song of " Sandy's o'er the Lea" was sung with great taste by Major Pringle. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of the " Lord Advocate" paid his Lordship a hi g h c o m pli m e nt f or hi s gene . ral attention to the interests of the country. Ile was a man not only respected in the city and co u n t y o f Edinburgh, but by the whole community. The LORD ADVOCATE said that a compliment, from such a body of gentlemen, would never be received with indifference by any man. He regretted that in such a loyal and patriotic body his name did not appear. He might, however, say, in his own exculpation, and the fact was known to many now pre sent, that at the period when he was most likely to have entered the Body. Guard, other avocations prevented him ; —and on the occasion of his Alajesty's visit, the hi g h o ffi cia situation he then held rendered it impossible he could then join their stand. ard. He begged to assure them that at all times his feelings were friendly to the Royal Company. And should they not deem him an unworthy recruit, lie should indeed feel proud to have his humble name added to the bottom of the list. H. JARDINE, Esq. was sure that he spoke the sentiments of every member present, when he proposed that his Lordship should be admitted a member by acclamation. The suggestion was immediately adopted amidst reiterated bursts of applause. The CAPTAIN-GENERAL, begged to devote a bumper to the health of the new recruit,—and may he soon hit the mark. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the health of " Sir Walter Scott," remarked, th at hi s name an d mer i ts were somew h at like those of the Duke of Wellington—they spoke for them selves. Sir NVALTER replied. It would be indeed the height of affectation not to admit, that he felt proud of such an honour, coming as it did from a body of men of tried talent, and of others of whom much might he expected. With respect to himself, he was affraid he owed more to their partiality—which was not the less dear to him—than to their justice. " The Marquis of Graham," by John it usse l, E sq . " The healths of the Earl of Mar and the other restored Peers," was given, with some approp r i ate remar k s , b y E . D . Sandford, Esq. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to propose the toast he was about to give, was certain he would anticipate the unanimous voice of the company. when he named " Sir John Hope, Colonel of the Mid Lothian Yeomanry," whose exertions had at all times stood conspicuous where the services of that most useful body had been required. SirJouN HorE, in returning thanks, said it always af forded him the highest satisfaction to find the services of the Yeomanry met with those thanks lie hoped their exertions would long merit. The health of John Linning, Esq. the Secretary, whose valuable services the company were at all times ready to ac knowledge.—(Applause.) In the course of the evening various additional toasts were given, end among others, " General Sir John Hope," (who was prevented from attending by indisposition) ; " Colonel Clifton, of the Royal Dragoons ; ' " Major Drummond, of the 72d Regiment ; ' " Major Stisted, Inspecting Officer of Yeomanry;" " the Countess of Dalhousie ;" " Mrs. General Duff," &c. His Grace the Duke of Montrose retired about ten ; and shortly afterwards several members began to withdraw. The Gallant Chairman kept up the conviviality of the Meeting till half-past eleven o'clock, with his usual good humour, when he regretted to be obliged to propose " Good night ;" but he really considered it as a duty incumbent on him, when he re flected on the great fatigue almost every gentleman had under gone in their exertions upon the occasion of the late calamitous fire.—(Edinburgh Observer.) TAvERNIErt states, that at Seronge a sort of cloth is manufactured of so very fine a texture, that the skin may be seen through it as though it were not covered. This cloth, he says, no Merchant is permitted to export, the whole being purchased by the Governor, and sent to Grand Mogul and to the chief Lords of his Court, who employ it to cloathe the ladies of their seraglio. COMBINATION OF IRON.FOUNDERSe--FOr some months past a strange sort of combination has existed amongst the journeymen iron-founders in this town and neighbour hood, for the purpose of preventing persons not brought up to that business, from having fount eries for supplying them selves with castings. This combination was first put in force against a house in the neighbourhood of Ashton, and was afterwards directed against houses in this town, who adopt. ed a similar measure. To such an extent has it been carried, that the moulders refused to cast from the patterns of Messrs. F. and L., millwrights, of this town; because they per. slated in putting up a train of shafts for Messrs. H.,of Stayl e y. bridge, who had rendered themselves obnoxiou s y erecting a foundry, which shafts, by , the bye, were contracted for before the foundry was built. Messrs F. and L. were unable to pro cure any castings in the town, and have therefore been com pelled to erect a foundry for themselves. How the moulders could imbibe a notion that the increase of foundries would be detrimental to them, It is not easy to conceive. That their masters should think so, is not unlikely; and there it was, in all probability, that the opposition to them originated.—(Man. shelter Guardian.) TUE JOHANNA SOTITHCOTT SECT AT ASHTON UN EER-LINE.—A few weeks ago a' fanatic of this sect told her husband, an industrious artisan, that she had dreamt that old Jo. hanna would send her a white ass, on which she was to ride tole. rusalem. This dream made suc h an impression on her mind, that she neglected her household affairs, and her family and her husband had neither comfort nor peace. The poor fellow communicated to his neighbours the folly and delus i on o f hi s wife, and they hit on the following expedient to cure her of her delirium; they procured her an ass, which they covered with white calico s and at the dead of the night two friends of the family repaired to the habitation of her husband. Having arrived there they caused the animal to bray. The noise was celestial music to the ears of the deluded woman, who took an affectionate leave of her husband, previously to her setting out on her journey. Iler attendants were fantastically attired, and she viewed them with awe, conceiving they had been sent from the other world, as her heavenly guides, by old Joan. Don Quixote never sent out on a more ridiculous expedi tion, and off abe trotted for the Holy Land. Her guides having previously , fixed on the journey she should take, led her through a copse, through briars and brambles, of which she soon found the powerful effects. This only heightened her zeal, as she occasionally ejaculated that the path to Paradise was filled with thorns, still expressing her gratitude to old Joan for appointing her one of the elect. The punctures of thorns she considered as so many blessings, but at length, after a devious course, she was led back to the husband's house. On stopping, she observed, " This an't Jirusa. lam, for it is like my husband's cottage ;" and so it was, where lie had assembled several of his neighbours to witness her folly. This fact was a stroke of ridicule more effectual than expostulation, or arguing with her on her absurdity, and her believing in old Joan and Shiloh ; and after becoming the ridicule of the village, she has abandoned the sect, and now conducts herself as a rational being and a good liousewie.— ( Chester Chronicle.)
