MADRI n, JAI. 25.—We have obtained some ad ditional information relative to the famous mis sion of the Duke de Stn Carlos.. That perionage, it appears, brought two letters, one from our be . loved King, and the other from the execrable Cor sican. The Rego' y opened the former, but the latter-was sent back unopened to its treacherous anthor. In this conduct, the Regency gave a new proof of the decision, good faith, and loyalty with which they act fur the benefit of the country. We . understand, also, that in the first secret sitting of the Corte, the Regency laid betoye them an ac 'count of the new plots of the dorsican, and of the •manner in which they had acted ; and that the Cortes expressed their ,full satisfaction at the course pursued by the Regency. We have also great pleasure in communicating, that the CorteS and the Executive Government proceed with the greatest union and harmony in this delicate business, with which it ti.as the object of.the Corsican to enittrail us ; and that these two authorities, animated with the most patriotic sentiments, correspond entire ly with the wishes of • the Spanish people, who have entrusted to them the happiness of. the • country. " One observation we won!el make, and it is this is not yet certainly known whether the Re gency have taken measures to prevent s;milar Corsican missions in future. We have, however, reasons to presume, that orders have been given to prohibit any cniiasary or envoy of Buonaparte's from treading the Spanish soil. W'►hat confirms us in this presumption is, the knowledge‘that Pa latox, who had IT .ched Vich in Catalonia, has not since moved astep in advance. ..JANUARY f:i.—We have now to mention ano ther branch of the Corsican's plot, which has rcacl)cd us ititherto only in the shape of r um our, but .which, when we consider its finesse, and the new embarrassment in which it was meant to en -tangle ns", lila . ; yet be looked upon as authentic. It a:ipea:s, then, that by the treaty bittween our un:ovtiiiiate King and Nona') ,rte, the latter was to Inn- ore in marriage fur Ferdinand VII. an Austrian Princess, the Archduchess Maria Bea trix, aged 26 years, and the daughter of the Archduke Ferdinand, uncle of time Emperor. It 'is unnecessary to point out to otw readers the views of Buonaparte in this proposed connection: the Emperor of Austria, it seems, is to be the plank of safety for the Corscan in his present tremendous shipwreck : he will leave no stone unturned to deceive him, and to deceive us.— Again, therefore, would we inculcate the neces sity of vigilance against his plots and intrigues. J. 2G.—According to the most recent ac-. counts, notshing of importance had occurred in the.hlockades of Sagunto, keniscola, Lerida, and Tortosa. 'lnert is a ramous here that the Conde de Fer man Nunez, and Senor Perei de Castro, have been appointed to represent the Spanish nation at -any Congress for peace. CADIZ, J. 18.—The Mino, which is just arrived, is one of the richest vessels that ever entered our port. She brings from "Vera Cruz 3,624,466 dollars of Mexican coinage, -and 157,563 in provincial money, besides - 245 bars of silver, and 32„395 ingots (eight ounces each), 257 bags of cochineal, 23 of indigo, and 19 chests of vanilla. 'Mom tie flavannah she brings 81,085 dollars of • Mexican coin lg e, and 11,023 in provincial money, 3481 ounces of gold, heiides a large quantity of tobacco, coffee, and Jo bark. accounts from Xalapa, dated September 19, wc learn, that an epidemic disorder raged in the city of 1).-lexico, which had ..0t off 25,000 of the inhabitants. The Gazette of that capital of the , lth of September, contains - an account of a vic tory gained by General Arridondo, over 2400 Anglo-Americans, and 600 Indians under Toledo. This action liad.•s- . 9cnred the province of ,Tejas, and given a mortal blow to the disastrous rebellion in that kingdom. On the other hand, the rebel Morelos, it was said: half made himself master of the castle .of Acapul-o, with much riches, 2000 muskets, and the best artillery in the kingdom. It was also asserted, that he was assembling de puties from various districts for the formation of a Congress. Our latest accounts from Montevideo are to the 19th of October.

TUE ARC - CIIANCEI,LOR OF THE EMPIRE TO HIS MAJESTY TIT r. F.150.F..1t01t AND .KI NG. Sire,—l received this mortunla the letter with which your i\Ljesty honoured me, tinted Harlan, the 24th of this mouth. It has made me very hippy, 'as, I had been eighteen clays tvithollt re ceiving any news direa from your Majesty.' From the interruption of the.coinnamications, we ought not to he surprised at receiving no letters. But the public, who reason little, or reason ill, ima gined that, this suspension . -arose from the. bad state of atirs, and presaged evils from which we are now happily rendered secure. According to - what has reached me from the Duke of Bassano,,and from other quarters, I find that your Majesty has cleated all the defil e s of the , Saxon frontiers, and paralysed all the movements attempted by the enemy to operate a new inva sion. Your Majesty supposes, in your letter, that I have received the pieces on the Austrian declara tion, 4.e. I have already rendered au account to your Majesty on this subject in my letter of the 22d it will therefore he enough to recall to your Ma jesty that the two first dispatches were lost, that the triplicate reached us, and was. presented to me by M. de la 4esnardiere ; but these pieces tieing very voluminous, it has not yet been possible to complete the copies. I add, that having received , rt.) command nor instruction from your Majesty, ; relative to the communications to he made to the j Senate,_ I shall defer making - any use of these j pieces till your Majesty shall be pleased to make known to me your Majesty's intentions on the se veral points which I have taken the lib.tty to sub mit to him. I again entreat your :Niajesty's di . rections on that subject. Some articles, inserted by the Minister of Po lice in the inferior journals, and the last notices of the Monileur, have contributed to improve time public opinion. . People begin to be satisfied that fhe greater number of the reports spread about of late - are mere inventions. - With respect to the tall which the public funds have experienced tm some weeks past, it is the tnere consequence 'of - certain speculations, an.i of the - natural tendency of nip:lied people to alarm themselves, and see the dark side of. all things. - am, with the profoundest respect; Sift., • YOutr Imperial and Roval Majesty's most o b e di e nt, Most devoted, and . faithful subject and- servant, The Arch-Chancellor of the Empire, CAMBACERES.

In fact, the two first were actually lost, hut the tripliCate carne safe, and was pre st.lted to me by M. de la Besnardiere; as I an nounced to you in my letter of the 221 instant. These pieces, not being yet copied, have not been remitted to me.

The Prince Arch-Cbancellur of the Empire, • c:~ IUUEI ES. TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING OF THE TWO SICI- LIES, THE QUEEN. (Extract.) My good Friend,—We have been much con cerned at hearing, of the affair of Gel'. Vandalrlitlej hut the E'llperOr COIL sit every thing to rights— owning can resist him. 1 have read, or rather we have rell, your report to the Emperm , and were much allected by it. Aly dear friend, how would you have me rein in easy ? 1 cannot express to yoti how min vpy i have been for some days past ; wily, 1 know not, since I exoect,your speedy re- Toro, anti peace ; neverthelessonany circumstances have contributed to it. First of all, the long time that Oapsed without bringing us any details . of the haute; your.iilence; the privation you had sustain ed in consequence of Gen. Dumont's wound ; and, ,to coachide, my voyage, which made Me so that, if it' had not been for the Minister of lei nant'e, who never left me, and •vho .took upon h!.l the orders, for my dis,nuharkation, whirl] I had not strength to do myself, and which nobody else would have dared to eo for me, 1 verily be 1i ve have died. Poor Mo!t..helet tell a sacrifice to it ; - for, seeing me so weak, and hav- . jPg been able to see neither horses nor CarriaV, he determined to mount the hill a-forit, in the midst, of a trenieildoLiS storm of rain; to procure Ile some broth,: of which 1 stood greatly in nee4... Here the poor fellow got a deflexion of the chest, followed by a put.-in malignant fever, and in short' : was carried-off by it in two days, before one knew, as it were, that he was ill. This has agitated me ; he had been so long attached' to our service, and was so distinguished for his zeal and fidelity, that I coUld not preserve myself i from a certain impres sion of melancholy. I have alinost regretted ,tlki.s:. unhappy voyage, which for this week past has constituted all the happiness of the - Princes and Princesses. The Prince Royal set off the day he fore yesterday to make the circuit of the Bay, on board the same vessel: he returned quite en chanted. The Princesses are to go tO4norrow, and promise themselves the same pleasure, with Lucien for their beau. I don't, know whether you receive my letters, but I write to you very often. Every thing is perfe:tly calm and tranquil, and I hope you will he su too. Nry health is not very ha:: that of your children is excellent. I have recommended Campomelle to send you every thiog you may stand in need of. I hope he will do so, and that you will ;want for nothing. 1 have ordered hint to send you some woollen hosiery, which will be very comfortable to you in travelling. .1 send you (also General Puniont's,sword. Anien, friend ; .take care of yourself, 1 beg you, anti think of us. I embrace you as I love you, CAROLINE. I forgot to speak to you of a circumstance which has produced a rather singular effect. Your courier arrived at the moment I going on board the vessel ;. as chance 'would have it, I wet and spoke to him myself. I asked him whether he had any other letters : he told Me no ; .so that I told the.ministers, who came, for .my orders, that you had not written to any of them. The next mornint they brouglit me their letters, saying that the courier bad deceived tne. They thought I ought . to punish ilitn for having lied to toy face. lam well convinced that this order could never stave proceeded from von ; but 1 could not refrain front mentioning it. to you, in order that' you may find out -who, of your Secretaries, can have issued so impertinent a mandate. , For, my good friend, it is of the utmost importhpee to knoW every thing that is written, and, since you cannot take the trouble, I must. Fur instance, :Julian said that they had taken so many coldurs, so many pieces of connon,'so.many prisoners; and he did nut make thein amount to the quarter part of what you told me, so that next day, when they read the Moniteter, they fal - sified, by Julian's letters, what I had caused to be in • soled in it .aecording to your's. This has a bad effect, and destroys confidence. If these gentlemen chObse to announce victories, let them—nothing better—hut let them not give me details ; let them not specifyinunbers either for more or less, so a s to contr a di c t tho se which , I receive from you. Look to this.• I have not been angry at it ; because I ant very sure that this courier has acted from no instruction of vour's.— But it is more irnportant than you Indy suppose pay attention to it. (Without date.) THE TEMPERATURE OF THE HUMAN FRAME. It is a well authenticated fact, that the tempe rature of the - Human Body is the same In all cli mates—irregularthes being found to be its gr ea t es t bane ; if its functions are regular, good health is in its natural state. Nothing tends more to render them irregular than sudden transitions from heat to cold; yet our necessary. 'avocations—and even uhr amusements, as well as removing from one climate to anothernaturally,rendet us liable to this evil ; to counteract this (and wiJich appears to be done effectually).
