SPANISH PAPERS.

MADRID, AUGUST 24..
The King has directed to the Sccretaty of State
the following decree :

" According to the urgent desires of Don Thomas Moreno
y Davir, my Secretary of State fur the War Department,
and taking into consideration the ill state of his health, I
hare accepted the resignation which he has tendered of his
office, declaring that 1. have been highly satisfied with his
long and useful services; and I appoint in his room Lieut.•
General Dun Deigo Contador as Secretary of the War De-
panatela, till whose arrival the duties of the office shall be
performed, ad kinks, by D. Francisco de Paola &coder°,
my Secretary of State fur Ilse Naval Department, to which
you will pay attention, and communicate it to those whom is
may concern."

We are informed, that previous to iisning the
above decree, his Majesty had already communicat-
ed the removal of the Secretary of War; but there
is in the whole affiiir a mystery which it is impos-
sible to penetrate. We will only say, that it appears
to us that General Contador will not be able to
fill his office on account of Iris advanced mgr.—
