FRENCH PAPERS. (From Galignani's Messenger.) The Count de Colombi, Charge d'Affaires for Spain, having made an official communication to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of the death of Ferdi nand VII., the King will go into mourning for six weeks from this day. The Sentinelle of Bayonne of the 3d inst., pub lishes in s supplement the documents from the Ma drid Gazette of the 30th ult., which we have already given, and adds—" We learn that a person of this town (Bayonne) has in his possession a decree of Don Carlos, by which he enjoins the Spaniards to obey the competent authority alone. We believe that *big decree was drawn up before the death of Ferdinand, for it is impossible for the news of his death to have reached Don Carlos in Portugal in time for the decree to have been sent thence to Bayonne." Extract of a letter of the 2d inst. from Toulon : —" The sloop Emulation was a few days ago sent on a cruise off the shores of Tuscany, but at the time the object of it was not known. We have since learned that the Baron de Fromont, the French Consul at Leghorn, had transmitted in formation that the ex-Dey of Algiers, urged by some of the most influential members of the elder branch of the Bourbons, had made secret purchases of arms, and had also bought an Aus trian vessel of heavy tonnage, for the purpose, no doubt, of landing these arms on the coast of Africa, where he still retains powerful and devoted adherents. The Bey of Constantine, who has been constantly supplied with ammunition by the Princes of Tunis', Tripoli, and other places, hes never ceased to maintain a correspondence wit h Hussein Bey; and it is to these intrigues, to which some of the continental Powers are by no means strangers, that we owe the continued hostility of the ttihes which border our African possessions. It was wi. h a view to cut thethresd of these manoeuvres that the Emulation was employed to watch the arma ments of Hussein I3ey, and capture his vessel, if it attempt to effect a landing on any part of the coast occupied by the French. The legitimatist party, how ever, which has its spies at all points, warned the Dey, and he has accordingly abandoned his pro jects, and set sail for Alexandria. As soon, there fore, as the Emulation came to an anchor in the port of Leghorn, Baron de Fromont delivered despatches to her commander, and desired him to return with them immediately to France ; consequently the Emulation did not remain more than an hour at Leghorn." Letters from Seste Calende announce that two corps of 120,000 men are being concentrated, one on the banks of the Po and the frontiers of Pied mont, and the other at the foot of the Alps, in the environs of Mantua and Verona. They also state that generals', and other superior officers, are daily coming to Milan from all parts of Germany, and that many of the French legitimatiets who had taken up their abode in Savoy have arrived at Milan under false name., in order to evade observation. The Augsburg Gazette of the 4th inst. contains the following of the 28th ult. from Vienna :—" Ac coritng to letters of September 1, from Scutari, little change has taken place in the state of affairs in that town. The garrison and the population are still under arms, and the Bazaar is not yet re-opened. As the garrison, confined to the citadel, began to experience a want of provisions, the Pacha entered into negotiations with the town, which, in order to avoid a collision before the result of the deputation sent to Constantinople was known, supplied him with the provisions required. In the meanwhile, information was received at Scutari that an auxiliary corps was coming by Pirana to relieve the citadel. Upon this news a great number of armed peasants suddenly rose and hastened to the river Drina, to prevent the auxliary troops joining the garrison." Letters from Geneva mention that the Council of State has enjoined all the Italian refugees in the. town and in the canton to quit the country within eight days. They consist of Piedmontese, Mode nese, Genoese, and Lombards, and amount to about 300. It is said that they will probably retire to the canton of Vaud, the Government of which acknow ledges no authority beyond its own magistrates, ex cept the Helvetic Diet. The Helvetie says—" In consequence of an order from Austria, one of the Stni lite cantons ' Tessin, has expelled all the Italian exiles who had taken refuge there. Judicial pro ce, dings have also been commenced against a printer, charged with having published a work a gainst Austrian despotism." Extraci of a letter of the 30th ult., from Lau sanne :—" The situation of the Valais is very cri tical, as it contains the same elements of discord which the Government has attempted to extirpate in the cantons of Basle and Schweitz. It would he very deplorable, were an explosion necessary there also before a suitable remedy could be ap plied. A proclamation, addressed to the people, is now circulating in the Lower Valais, in which it is stated that the last hour of the reign of aristocracy , and privilege has sounded in the cantons of Switzer land, which were their last strongholds, whence they still seemed to threaten the Confederation with a general overthrow. Will the people of the Lower Valais remain passive spectators of these great movements ? The moment has arrived for them, as well as for the external districts of this canton, to deliver themselves from their degraded state." The Heketie of Porentruy announces that the Legislative Council of Basle has adopted the consti tution proposed by the committee. The Catholic clergy of the district of Birseck, who, in accordance with the sentiments of their bishop, had refused to take the oath of obedience to the Government of Basle Country, has at length received his permission to do so, and acted accordingly. The Mayor of Marseilles has issued a decree, for bidding any person to carry firearms, sharp, pointed, or blunt instruments, knives in the form of daggers, sword-sticks, bludgeons, &c. All persons upon w h o m such weapons are found will be arrested, and punished as the law directs. Since the Ist instant, the magistrates of Marseilles have taken numerous preeentions for the preservation of the public peace. From nightfall to a very late hour numerous patrols parade the street=, and a strong picket of gendarmes is stationed in the Place Royale. Messrs. Gamier, Pages, and Laboissiere left Marseilles, on the 3d instant, for Toulon. STOCK EXCHANGE, OCT. 7. HALF-PAST FOUR O'CLOCK.—A panic has prevailed in the Money Market, and the price of Stocks has experienced a considerable fall, which is attributed to the ordi nance calling out 35,000 men of the second portion of the contingent of 1832. Upon this subject it has been rumoured that, on Saturday, Marshal Soult proposed that an army of observation should be sent to the frontiers of Spain, and that a levy of 35,000 men should take place. This proposition was re sisted by a majority in the Council, upon which the Marshal sent in his resignation. His resignation was refused, and on Sunday his proposition was ac ceded to. The Neapolitan Rentes and the Belgian Lea n h ave followed the retrograde movement of the French Funds. Spanish Securities have suffered a heavy decline, in consequence of rumours of Don Carlos having entered Spain with General de Bour mont, and of insurrectionary movements having broken out in some of the Spanish provinces. Don Mieuel's Loan also is lower. For money the Fives sod the 'Threes have fallen 1 fr.; the Fours 55c.; Neapolitan 1 fr. 25c.; R oman Belgian I ; Goehhard'a at, d Don Miguel's Loan 2; Reines Perpetue lles 6 Spanish Thr ees 31 1 .

The Spanish L'harge d'Affairei despatched two couriers the day before yestxrday, one at two, and the other at five in the afternoon. " We are assured," f War, says the ,gessager des Chant lees," that the orders given by t he M ini ver o for unlimited furloughs to be granted to te sosidie h rs of the departments of the Gard, the Hehrault, t a tide , and_th to Douches du Rhone, have been eouno termanded, as the men 'are to remain with their regiments." Extract of a letter from Corunna, dated Septem ber 22:—` 0 The Spanish Carlists have made great efforts in this town to excite an insurrection, but they have not succeeded, notwithstanding all the brilliant promises of the wife of Don Carlo, who is the sister of Don Miguel, and who is the real head of the party. This Princess is now in Portugal, and wi,hes to stir up an insurrection on the frontiers to coincide with a similar rising in La Vendee, but the population will not stir against Ferdinand, except it be in favour of liberal measures. The public mind is well disposed. The affairs of, Portugal keep up a spirit of exasperation among the troops and the popular classes. The enterprise of Don Pedro is considered as a national affair for the whole Peninsula." As soon as the news of King Ferdinand's death reached the Marquis de Punon-Rostro, who had been exiled from Madrid, for an article which he had got inserted in the Spanish Review, he left Pampeluna for the capital. The Marquis was one of the Privy Councillors of the Queen during the time the Government was intrusted to her by the late King. (From the Gazette de France of Wednesday.) Letters from the Spani , h frontier, which arrived yesterday at Paris, through the hands of a Consul, announce the intelligence that disorders have been manifested in the provinces of Biscay, Alva, and Guispuscoa. (From the Journal des Debuts of Tuesday The funds experienced to-day a considerable de cline. The depression was particularly remarkable in the Spanish funds. Still we are of opinion that no intelligence has reached us from Spain, which can be at all considered as justifying this event. The Journals from the south received to-day in Paris ' describe no disturbance or disorder as having oc curred in the Spanish territories near our frontier, and the weather is so favourable that it is impos sible, if any thing serious occurred in Madrid, that we should not have had an account of it by telegraph. (From the Constitutionnel of Tuesday.) Two pieces of important intelligence threw the 'Change into a state of considerable agitation to day. It was reported that M. Mignet's instructions to the Queen Regent of Spain contained an admo nition to her to call for the intervention of France. It was next rumoured that a revolt had taken place at Constantinople of a most serious nature. Our last intelligence from Constantinople is of the 10 h September, and there is no mention whatever of the subject of this rumour. With respect to what has been said of Spain, this would have no real importance, unless it were done without the privity of England (and that is very unlikely); yet the effect on the Spanish Funds is considerable.

MADRID, SEPT. 29.—The King, as you will pro bably have heard by the time this reaches you, died this afternoon, at a quarter before three o'clock. This event was fully expected ever since the morn ing, in consequence of the appearance, for the firs• time, of an official bulletin making known that the King was dangerously ill. When this tardy publication, and the way in which it was made, are considered, it is difficult to say whether it exhibits more bad management than impudence on the part of the Government. The bulletin of the physician Cts , ello very clearly says that the King had been seriously ill since the 19th of July ; yet even since that thy the Madrid Ga zette has not ceased stoutly to affirm that the King was in perfect health. No one, however, has been ignorant of late of the fact that the King was in his last extremity. His efforts to appear abroad, which, it is pretended, were the effect of his own will, have certainly has tened his end. They had complicated his sufferings by adding a pulmonary affection, which partook of the nature of the influenza, now very prevalent in Madrid. Last night the state of the King became at one time such, that every moment was expected to be his last. At 8 o'clock he took a cup of cho colate, which the stomach did not retain. An hour afterwards he took some broth, x‘hich was rejected also. At 11 o'clock he appeared to he in a dying state. He spent, however, a tolerable night, and was better this morning. At 1 o'clock he felt hungry, and ate without due moderation. This imprudence of his killed him. At half-past 2 o'clock he began to doze, and in order to let him rest, all the attendants of the strvidumbre were dismissed. His physician even went out. Some minutes after the Queen, who had remained alone at his bedside, observed that the expression of his face was becoming of a ghastly kind, that foam was issuing from his mouth, and his eyes were convul , ively opened and closed. She screamed with all her might, the attendants rushed in, and Castello was immediately called, but on the return of the physician the King had already ceased to live. He had expired in the arms of the Queen of a violent stroke of apoplexy, brought about, no doubt, by the effect of the indigestion from the copious dinner he had taken. ' M. Castello, having still the recollection of what occurred last y r ear,'flattered himself for a while that the King had 'allen into a strong lethargy, and was not dead ; but after trying every experiment to as certain the fact, by driving a needle into his nails, putting a lighted taper under his nostrils, &c., he be came convinced that life had really fled. The Captain-General of Madrid, Freire, the com mander of the Royal Infantry Guard, Quesada, and other Generals, some of the Ministers of State, among whom was M. de Zea, some grandees and dignitaries who were at the Palace, all came into the King's chamber. The Queen addressing them, is the midst of her grief, asked if she could rely on them ? Quesada and Freire begged her to be assured that their blood to its very last drop was hers. The intelligence of the King's death did no t spread very rapidly in the city. Although it was not kept secret. DO means were immediately taken to make it officially known to the public, arid as it is Sunday, at six o'clock in the evening the Prado and the street of Alcala, in which is held the Madrid fair, were thronged with persons who knew nothing of what had occurred. The two theatres Del Prin cipe and De is Cruz were opened as usual, and attended by the same number of habitues. All the troop, however, have been placed under arms and consigned to their quarters. Up to ten o'clock this evening the greatest tranquillity has prevailed; but great anxiety already prevails, and every one seems impatient to see what is going to happen. It cannot be concealed that the King is regretted by no one. He had so well succeeded in dit.gusting all parties, that all seem disposed to re joice at his death. In this particular, at least, he had succeeded in inspiring them with a common feeling. It is now pretty certain that no Regency has been fixed upon. There was a project for a Re gency with a Council, but nothing had been finally agreed upon respecting it. It is said that the King has left a will, which was opened this evening at the Palace, in the presence of the per sona who had signed it as witnesses. The law HI, title 15, partida 2, of the seven pariidas, em powers th e k ing to establish, i n whatever way tie may think fi t, b y to exercise supreme will, the Regency, which is power during the minority of his successor. If the Kin g leave testament,it is thv .Cecrt.eS who form g Ito , Council of Regency, always to be presided by the Queen, when there is a Queen Dowager. It is generally believed that the Queen will place herself at the head of the Government im mediately, conformably with the dispositions of the testament which is supposed to exist, under the title of " Reina Gobernadora." She seems inclined to exhibit much courage and resolution. She rode this mottling on horseback through several streets, having but few attendants with her. This slit has been doing for some days past. Mr. Villiers arrived last night at nine o'clock. He is come in pretty good time, and will most likely have a good deal upon his hands. M. de Zea had fixed upon three o'clock this day to receive his first visit. At three o'clock, therefore, Mr. Villiers was at the Palace. He was told that M. de Zea happened to be excessively busy (sumamentc occupado), and could not see him. •Mr. Villiers sent in word, that as M. de Zea had made the ap pointment, he should wait. M. de Zea then made his appearance, iu great agitation, and apologized to the Envoy for his message and inability to stay with him, occasioned by the death of the King, which had just taken place. Agreeably to ancient custom, no diligence or vehicle of arty description, no courier, not even the messengers attached to the corps diplomatique, are alloried to issue from Madrid within 24 hours after the death of the Sovereign. AI. de Zea alone, avail ing himself of the privilege of the Government, sends off this night a courier, bearer of the news of the King's death, which is to be communicated to the French Government by telegraph from Bayonne. MADRID, SEPT. 30.—1 send you enclosed a supplement to the Gazette of yesterday, published this morning, which contains two bulletins of the physician Castello, the one announcing the continua tion of the Kng's illness, and the other making known his death. You will find in it, besides, three decrees of the Queen, who assumes the title of Reina Gobernadora, but without referring to any disposition to that effect in the King's will ; it be comes, therefore, doubtful whether the King had made any will at all. In compliance with the injunction contained in the first of the Queen's decrees, the Royal Council of Castile assembled to-day, for the purpose of regulating the ceremonial of the King's funeral, and drawing up the proclamation by which the Queen Donna Isabella 11. is to be declared his successor to the throne. The second of these decrees, by which the Mi nisters are confirmed in their respective depart ments, appears to be merely a provisionai act. The dry manner in which the confirmation is announced pretty clearly indicates that the measure is only temporary. The Queen, however, has herself made known that she intends it as such ; for when certain objections were submitted to her even against the propriety of retaining her late husband's Minister, site said that she could not dismiss them so soon after the death of the King without being guilty of disrespect to his memory. The third decree, by which all the authorities and employees are maintained in their respective func lions, is an act suggested by prudence and good policy. The public functionaries in Spain form almost a whole nation, and a very powerful and in fluential one it is. It was proper to keep them in good humour. The greatest tranquillity has continued to reign in Madrid to-day, so much co, that the extraordinary mersures taken to insure its maintenance, by an in crease of patrols, and a display of troops out of their barracks, have proved quite superfluous. The gar rison, which is composed of the Royal Guard and the Regiment of the Princess, is about 8,000 strong The latter regiment and the provincial grenadiers are entirely devoted to the Queen. The others, whose sentiments are doubtful or much divided, have not, up to the present moment, evinced any hostile intentions whatsoever. The Madrid Royalist Volunteers, who do not exceed 4,000, have not stirred. Nevertheless, the leaders of parties are moving .n the dark. It is pretty well known that the Carliqs are deliberating with all possible secrecy. There is reason to believe that they have for some time been in active communication with Don Car los, through the medium of monks and beggars, who have been drilled to the service of couriers. It is supposed that Don Carlos, who must be at this moment close to the frontier, will yield to the soli citations of the chiefs of his patty, and will enter Spain by Estremadura, between Coria and Pia cenza. It is said that he has no fear of Rodil, the Carain-General of Estremadura, but not so with regard to Saarsfield, the Commander-in-Chief of the army of observation on the Portuguese frontier ; Amarillas, the Captain-General of Andalusia; and Morillo, the Captain-General of Galicia ; whom Dan Carlos, with good reason, does not look upon as his friends. There is a sort of third party, calling itself Ab solutist, which has offered its support to the Queen, on condition that she should retain M. de Zea, or at least adopt his system. It is hoped that the Queen will perceive the snare which is thus prepared for her by men who are, in fact, nothing less than Car lists in disguise. On another hand, the Liberals or Reformists have not remained idle. The chiefs of that party, among whom is the Duke de Florida Blanca (a de termined partisan for a representative form and mo derate system of Government, and a great favourite of the Queen), have held their meeting also, and have done their utmost to prevail on the Queen to dismiss the Ministers, above all M. de Zea. The Queen has not yet taken any determination, but she appears greatly disposed to adopt the most advisable course, by placing herself entirely under the guidance of the Camarilleros. The following are said to be the lists proposed to her, between which she has not made up her mind to make a choice : 1. Count de Torrenho, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Amarillas, War Department. Florida Blanca, Minister del Fomento. Cano M time], Grace and Justice. 2. The Duke de San Fernando, Foreign Affairs. Fenian dez del Pino, Grace and Justice. Freire, War Department. Florida Blanca, Minister del Fomento. 3. Count d'Offilia, Foreign Affiirs : With the remainder of either of the two preceding lists In all these lists it is proposed that the present Ministers of Finance and Marine should be included. The last one, owing to the name of M. d'OEfalia being included in it, appears the least desirable to the Liberals, and it happens to stand the least chance of being fixed upon. This evening, at 9 o'clock, lust as I am about to close this letter, I am assured that there is positively a will made by the King so far back as 1830, and that it has not yet been opened. Tranquillity remains perfectly undisturbed. Some cavalry patrols are riding about the streets, but their presence seems quite unnecessary. Princess Lieven will give a splendid juvenile soiree on Wednesday next, at her villa at Richmond, 0 0 the occasion of her son, Prince George (godson of ht. late slajesty George the Fourth), completing bis 14th year. Mr. Addington is daily expected to arrive in town, from his emuassy at Madrid. He had his audience of le ,ve on the 24th ult. (five days prior to the derni•e of his Catholic Majesty), and intended to take his departure the day a ter, returning through Paris. Mr. Villiers, our new representative at the Court of Spain, lids, ere thi.e reached the Spanish capital. Tue qualifications of t he lion. Gentleman are said to justify his appointment at the present momentous crisis. He is young for a diplomatist of the first class, not having yet passed his 33,1 y e ar. Lord William Hervey, a younger son of the .Marquis of Bristol, and Secretary of Legation at Madrid, it is ex pected will be despatched by Mr. Villiers to our• Gnat, should e vents of moment arise. It is believed in the di plomatic circles of St. James's -street, that if M. Zea Ber mudez continues at the head of the Council of her Ma jesty the Queea Regent, no change will far the present be made in the Spanish Envoy here (the Chevalier Vial ), who was selected by M. Zea to be his successor at the c vutt o f t h e King of Great Britaiu, PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE, (From the Morning Papers) PARIS, TUESDAY, 4 O'CLOCK, is very gene rally believed here that the French Government is deter mined to go, if necessary, to any length in support of the claims of Donna Isabella to the Spanish Crown. An army of observation will, most probably, be immediately stationed near the Pyrenees. The ordinances which have appeared in yesterday's Moniteur, and the orders trans mitted to the departments of Gard, Hrrault, Aude, and Bouches du Rhone, revoking the unlimited furloughs pre viously granted, and sending back the men to whom they had heen extended to their respective corps, are measures which sufficiently indicate the expectation that the aid of France may be called into activity by a contest for the throne of Spain. . Our Stock Exchange people, who, like others of their tribe, are always much more alarmed by the expectation of a political untoward event than by its actual occurrence, have been thrown into a fever of excitement by the reports of warlike preparations being made by this Government. The Spanish Three per Cents., which closed on Thursday last at 391, and the Spanish Rentes Perpetuelles, which were also on that day last quoted at 67k, have fallen, the former to 324, and the latter to 561 ; and almost all the other funds current at the Bourse have been affected by the severe shock which the securities of Spain have sustained. As a great number of speculators are known to be deeply involved in time bargains for Spanish stock, no trifling uneasiness prevails among the agens de change, on whom the losses would fall should any defaulters be declared at the settlement of the month's accounts. The law does not admit of the legality of time bar. gains in the funds here any more than it does in England, so that the loser who is unwilling to pay cannot be made any more of than he who has no means left to do so. Amidst the excitement about Spanish affairs and Spanish securities which prevails at the Bourse, Miguel and his scrip have remained quite forgotten and neglected. The latter has gone down to 45, and it will require no trilling change in favour of Miguel's prospects, to raise it again. Some Cortes Bonds have been purchased, which raised their price front 16, at which it was on Thursday, to IS. But, as all trans actions in them are for cash in this market, the buyers were few, and the purchases not extensive. Prince Tallryrand, who, it was positively affi' med last Saturday, was about to return to London, has not been induced by the event in Spain to return immediately to his post. He is gone to take some rest in his chateau at Vales gay. The most sinister reports about the state of things in Madrid have been repot ted to day, in consequence of which a serious fall has occurred in the French funds. The Spanish funds have also continued to fall. Ido not, how ever, hear of any later arrival from Madrid, than the one of the courier who brought the letters of the 30th. P.S.—A telegraphic despatch is said to have been re ceived from Bayonne. Rams, OCT. B.—We continue to labour under agita tion from the crisis that has occurred in Spain, and to be hourly the sport of extraordinary rumours. The latest news received from .Madrid is that of the 30th ult., but perhaps in the course of the day some further intelligence from that capital may arrive. The calling nut of 35,000 men of the conscription for 1332, done yesterday by Royal ordinance, is a mere pre cautionary measure. The conscripts of 1824, will have completed their time of service on the 31st of 13:c. next. It became necessary, therefore, to replace them ; for the disarmament or breaking up of the army, commenced 14te1y, is suspended. The establishment of a corps of observation between Perpignan and B tyonne any man might t 1 did) predict. That also is or will be only a precau tionary measure. Still the hare mention of them affrights people, as if they had come upon them unawares. We must wait other acts, or authoritative information, there fore, ere we speculate on war. I must add, however, that matters appear each moment to produce increased gravity at CJort. Two sets of reports are in circulation reap• cting Spanish affairs. One represents the precautionary measures above alluded to as having been advocated by the King and M. de Broglie, in the teeth of M. Hermann and Marshal Soult. The other, and more probable, that the Marshal prevailed over the precautionary Monarch and his Foreign Minister, and induced them not only to take a bold atti ' tude, but all at once to acknowledge time young Que n. The recommendation to the Queen Dowager to conciliate all parties was the King's own act, and would be a desir able thing to do, if practicable, but I fear it is not. Rumours are afloat of a misunderstanding between M. Pout, di Borgo and the Due de Broglie on the subject. I am told, by an extt emrly well-informed parry, that in an interview which these statesmen had on Saturday last, t e Duke stated that it was the intention of this Court to acknowledge Queen Isabella of Spain. " Theo if you do," said M Pt zzo, " Russia will protest." " Protest I That word alone would determine his Majesty King Louie Philip." The acknowledgment was accordingly forwarded to Madrid, but the protest has not yet been delivered. On all sides, I repeat, we are bra 't with rumours con nected with tl is important affair, hut a recapitulation of which I shall not inflict on you. If the knowledge of any facts be attainabl--, I trust I shall arrive at it, and shall immediately write you. 13ouittaz, THREE o'cnocx.—The Funds are again de clining, and apparently with some reason. It is stated here that the Minister of War has positively order, ri that no further furloughs be granted to the soldiers, and that the regiments to be employed in the corps of ob servation on the Spanish frontier have been named. It is also stated, and fully credited, that a Carlist insurrection has actually taken place at Bilboa, and that the auilloriies had been massacred by the insurgents, who subsequently proclaimed Don Carlos King of Spain. On hearing this intelligence the Governor of St. Sebastian is said to have set out from that fortress, with a portion of its garrison, to repress the revolt. Fears are also enter tained here respecting Catalonia, in which province the Carlist party is said to be very strong. You will observe that the four Princes (of France) have gone to Cornpeigne to meet the King and Queen of the Belgians, but—and on this you may rely, the King has abandoned his intention of proceeding thither. His Ma jesty will return to Paris from St. Cloud on the 14th inst. for the season. The altered aspect of political affairs fully explains this change of intention. BATON NE, OCT. courier who arrived this morning, and brought the Madrid Gazette of the 29th ult., in which the King of Spain's death was officially an nounced, was also the bearer of despatches from M. tie Rayneval, for the Sous Prefet of Bayonne who imme diately transmitted the contents to Paris by the telegraph. By another estafette, which reached last evening, a per son o( our town rec•ived a letter written by an agent of Don Carlos, on the frontiers of Portugal, informing hint that the instant King Ferdinand breathed his last (an event which was hourly expected to occur), Don Carlos would receive the Holy Communion, atter a prayer for the soul cf his brother, and afterwards set out for Madrid. An agent of Don Carlos in li.iyoune has printed a pro clamation, which he is commissioned to forward to all the authorities of the provinces bordering on France. It is stated therein that Ferdin mil being dead, the Crown belongs by right to Don Carlos, and that consequently be is the legitimate King of Spain, and the only one to whom obedience is due. The Marquis of Punon Rustro, who had been exiled from Madrid, for p , Wishing an article in the Spanish Review, left Pamplona for that cipiral, on hearing of the King's demise. Jr will be recollec'ed that M. Punon Rostro was one of the Queen's advisers during the period of her regency. GOVERNMENT . PAROCHIAL ANNUITY SOCIETY.—The rules of a society established in St. Margaret's, Westminster, under the provisions of the late beat. 3 Vim. IV. c. 14, for granting iannuicies for life, or er In of years not exceeding in either case 20/. per annum, the whole of the money paid being returnable in case the party contracting for the annuity does not live to the aye at which the annuity is to become payable, or if he is unable to continue he payment of the monthly or annual instalments, were enrolled this morning at the Westminster Sessions. This is the first society formed under the Act, and was established by Mr. Tidd Pratt, who is the honorary secretary. AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE.--" The locomotive engine called the Pennsylvania,' invented and patented by Colonel S. H. Long, of the United States' ar my, has been fairly tried and approved on the German town railroad. Recent experiments have shown that the engine is fit to draw 32 tons easily on a level road at the speed of 15 miles an hour. The whole weight of the o , 4 ine is four tons and a half ; the boilers evaporate two h u ndred gallons in an hour, in which time they require 'he consumption of something less than two bushels of anthracite coil, the only fuel used. The wheels are made of wood, each. with an iron tire of three parallel concentric circular bands, cheap in price, but very substantial, strong, lasting, and efficient." —Philadelphia Daily Chronicle.

' , ..a. •—,., _ LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 10, 1833. It is stated, in one of the Paris papers, that Don CARLOS will commence operations in Estremadura, where he is said to have a strong body of partisans. From what we know of that province, however, we should predict very little success to the Carlist faction there. In some of the large towns the feeling of the inha bitants is constitutional in a high degree ; and, it will be remembered, that during the greatest struggle for freedom in Spain, there were in stances of honourable and enlightened conduct, even among the clergy of Estremadura, which were not witnessed elsewhere. It must not be denied, however, that the peasantry of this fertile province are in a state of abject poverty, and, therefore, so directly under the influence and control of the more bigotted portion of the priesthood, that it would not be difficult for Don CARLOS, if provided with the means of equipping and supporting an army, to muster some thousands in this part of Spain. The peasantry of Estremadura are naturally a fine race of men—if it were not for the excessive poverty by which their energies are cramped and their moral capacity is debased, they would be among the most for ward and zealous supporters of constitutional, as opposed to absolute monarchy ; but what are we to expect from men whose toil hardly gives them the means of purchasing bread for themselves, and whose families are consequently driven to t he gates of the convents, to implore for bread and soup to sustain life ? The Estremadurian something to the clergy; peasant seldom receives for his labour more thhean has 4d. to p or s ay cl. per out of which sum and it is by no means uncommon f or the wife o f a peasant to sp i n d ur i ng t en hours of each d a y without earning more than tetipence per week. So long as the present system shall continue in Spain, there must be a large portion of the peasantry in such a state of moral debasement as to be at the command of the priesthood ; but what can this peasantry do against the enlightened portion of the nation who have the administrative power in their hands ? There is but one danger for the con , stitutional cause, if we may indulge in the term, considering how little proof we EhavEeNyT towardsetoftbe disposition of the QUEEN REGENT reform—and here We conceive the danger is really great. The QUEEN REGENT of Spain has been reared in the old monar chical school, and although circumstances, and the chance of dominion for herself and her daughter, have made her for a time the professed friend of those who desire the political regeneration of Spain, what indication have w e of her disposition to support liberal principlest' farther than as they may be considered necessary' at a particular crisis, for the support of b et daughter's throne ? There are juste milieu rne ll in Spain as well as in France ; atid as there ar e not in Spain, as in France, popular checks to monarchical profligacy, we should not be sur prised at finding the juste milieu system ll ' Spain productive of the worst results. We lo ve a dislike to middle men all over the world, f°r they generally pander to the vices of those ab° Ye them, only that they may have the means °r misleading them, to the injury of the mass. Spain, M. ZEA BERMUDEZ is one o f the! e middle men, and if he be suffered to remain in power, it can matter very little whether he exec' cises it in behalf of Don CARLos, or in Al e port of the young QUEEN. In either case t he work of reform in Spain will be retarded, l' °4 , 1 the hopes which liberal and enlightened men h e began to entertain will be crushed. The Qu° l( REGENT, like her relative the King of FrtAtre f ,; has a great dread of an a rchy, and to prevent will probably resist every proposition for re v reform ; for it is a singular defect in the visl °P of crowned heads to perceive anarchy in r eform' whilst all other eyes behold in it only the We il9 of perpetuating order, and maintaining lee: mate rule. There is a s t ory to ld i n of Louts PHILIP, and which has bee t ' in print without a contradiction having been ventured, that, previously to the last At; tempt to revolutionize Spain,he was waited or , by a Spanish General, and requested to C° ° , tribute towards the expenses of that attempt, to order that he might st re ngthen his own po wer s „' by an alliance with Con s titutional Spain. prudent Monarch refused to contribute : to ° li e scheme, lest, as he said, a narchy should be t he result of the proposed rev o lution ; but when the wily Spaniard s a id th a t if his M a j es ty w° ll , , help to pay the pip e r th e Sp a ni ar d s wo uld 0 ! Clare the Duke de NEMOURS King o f Spae l i i the juste milieu Sovereign replied, that altereoo,, the case, and ordered payment of 100, 0 francs. Although th e magnificent donation .A ° ' Louis PHILIP did not pr o du ce th e intend ev to 1 effect, and the Crown of Sp a in w a s not to purchased for 4,0001., the French King, t ; determined, as it is said, that the juste 0 111 , 5 system sh a ll b e a d o pt e d i n S pa i n as we ll s' 3l France ; and w ith th a t v i ew th e mo d era te lo e ," 0, , as they are called—those men who sacrifice t people to the Sovereign in every country--er e be upheld. We shall not think well of any chang e Spain which does not go to the extent 0 1 . 1 destruction of the political influence of 1 clergy, and the decided improvement of the cook dition of the people at large. if the priesth ° , , are to live in idleness on the labour of the you:, and a corrupt aristocracy are still to over the productive classes, it can matter lien little whether Don CARLOS or Donna D i'' , BELLA be nominally at the head of the Solt The regeneration of Spain is the grand obill desired by all virtuous men, an d c h an ge° , Government or of dynasty, can have no ot i ' ee interest than as they are likely to effect or Pr e' vent that end. Since writing the above we have heard t Don CARLOS has actually hoisted the stand' of revolt ; and that he has been joined by :‘ 1 shal BOURMONT and a number of French C li-t officers. It is also stated with confidence that /3' 117 : has declared for Don CARLOS ; and that attempt to induce a movement at Coruno s d, favour of Don CARLOS had completely It is quite evident that Don CARLOS, 111 1.0 once committed himself, there will be imulePit attempts to effect a rising of the people in s el : other quarters, but with what success rano° j be seen. Those places which are most J the influence of the priesthood may be e%pe r c de to declare themselves for the idol of their but their continuance in that delusion mu st r , bend on the course of events, and the gres te less energy displayed by the QUEEN'S G Ol4 'neut. ff That Lours PHILIP is keenly alive t c/ , fr urgency of the moment, may be inferred 0 0 his having instantly despatched M. MioSS: . a special mission, and with a large sUPI I O I cash, to Madrid. Nor is this all, for it i 9 fully understood that orders have been the immediate formation of an A rm y of u. ;, - vation on the Pyrenees to support, if nee the very proper and prompt acknowledgM eli the young QUEEN.
