circular of the Board of Health, of 30:h July, the plague was happily
extinguished in the lazaretto--no new case has occurred. The two
,infected persons completely cured, and who hare been long sepa-
rated from their ship, had just been admitted to free pratique, as
well as the surgeon and nurses who attended them. Captain Ba.
noa's ship is also at liberty ; that of Captain Audibert, which has a
longer quarantine to perform, will likewise be nano free.
The crews of various ships, which were mentioned as having
had cases of plague while at Alexandria, have been in a very satis.
factory state of health since their arrival. Several of these ships
have been already admitted into the port. It may therefore be af-
firmed, that there is now no danger of contagion ; and Ts Daum has

MADRID, NOV. 1.

The first step taken by the Duke del Infantado has been to
examine the proceedings relative to the affair of Besaicres. lie
read attentively all the papers, and found among them an order
from the King for the arrest of fourteen other persons, four
of whom are Bishops, which Messrs. Zca and Recacho did
not carry into effect, on the pretext that great moderation was
necessary in such moderato circumstances. His Excellency has
'teen how the conspiracy was organised, and has begun to think the
matter more serious than it was represented to hint. He found that
the first Minister and the i2uperintendant of Police had acted with
great circumspection, and could not do less than confess it ; this
discovery and same others must have shown him, that he himself
was not initiated in the high mysteries of the Apostolic party. and
that he might be only their dupe. At least it is to reflections of
this nature that people ascribe the delay of the new Minister to
strike the great blows, which are so impatiently expected by those
who have raised him to the Ministry.
It is not a little singular that since the change of Ministry the
Duke should have had a long conference with ►l. De Zea. Alarmed
at what he found in the documents respecting Be.,icres, he wrote
to the Ex-Minister for information. 111. Zen replied. that he would
wait upon him, which he did, and they parted well satisfied with the
explanation that has taken place. The Duke afterwaris sent for 31.
Recacho, and spoke to him of the same affair; the Litter assured
him that not only what he had seen war certain, but that the
Captain General of Catalonia bad since informed him of two con.
spiracles in that province. That the King was acquainted
with these details, as his Majesty had given an express order
to send him a daily report of all he heard relative to the conspi-
rators, which order he strictly obeyed. The Duke requested him
to communicate the same information to him.

It seems certain that several Ambassadors hive spoken with
much energy to the Duke del Infantado, and told him they were re.
solved to oppose all kind of re-action or persecution, which has
produced some sensation among the Apostolic party.

Compleoller-Generel of the fineness la authorised to all for the
accounts 01.11 persons, who, since the 7th of March, 1840, op so
the day of the migration, were intrusted with the management
of gay public revenue whatever.

The 'score Noose is to the following effect :
" 1 the King.
" Governors, Captains, and Commandants-General of my king-
doms of America and the adjacent isles of the Philippines,
" Know that by the 7th article of my Decree, of the 25th of De-
cember, 1823, in which I announced to my territories beyond sea
that I was restored to the legitimate rights of my sovereignty,
having comlirmed the favours and employments granted during
the constitutional system, provided that the employments did not
depend on the Constitution nor were of recent creation ; acting now
according to the information I have received from my Council of
the Indies, since the aforesaid Decree, 1 hare thought fit to de-
clare that the amnesty granted by the Cortes, on thr 9th October,
1820, to the insurgents beyond sea, is comprised in the said 7th
article of the Decree of the 25th of December, 11123, by which I
confirmed all the boons and favours granted to my dominiuns
beyond sea during the constitutional system.

" I inform you in order that this, my royal decision, may be
perfectly accomplished in the countries under ynur respective
dictions. Given at the Palace of the Escurial, the t;:h of Oct. 1826.
Signed by the King."

We have received The Brussels Papers of Saturday; ex-
tracts will be found in another column. An article dated
Frankfort alludes to the reports current in Gcrmany re-
specting some intended exchanges of territory. There can
be no doubt that the welfare of the German people might
be greatly promoted by some measures of that nature, if
they could be carried into execution without exciting alarm
and jealousy among the states concerned. The evils from
that source would, it is to be apprehended, far exceed the
benefits, supposing that the object of all parties was an
honest atrangemcnt of territorial advantages.

It is gratifying to find that the spirit of discord hasat length
subsided in the town of Bradford, and that CHRISTMAS,
the approaching season of Old England's convivialiry, bids
fair to find built sides restored to cordiality and good
linniocr, and prepared to en/geln a trial* christian
11,11 v. blesstrss which Heaven hibliouclisafed to this happy
Oil bey favoured land. We all along predicted that,
the Loaders—or mir-leader rather--ofthcOperatives, would
be obliged in the cud to furl their flags—that 'the returns
of hunger on the- pelt of the thousands thrown out of
employ, would be far more certain and more frequent *a
the subscription-aturne, out of which their claims of idle-
ness were to be satisfies.. The delegates will in vain en-
deavour to rehtfarce.their ranks; their lessons of insur-
rection will not feed the tnuttitude, and
.ha those matter-
of-fact times the working-Classes require to he jid as well
as taught. Experience usually brings prodettoe and re-
flection in her train, cud, ask. whisperingii are tame than
a match for all the eloquence of the Brirdforil' Serivlarys.
An eddies* to a poor Inan's pocket is as strong as an address
to his passions at any time, it was manifest from the out-
set of this contest that the Radical Loaders could in vain
expect to triumph.. With men as well informed as the bet-
ter part of the working classes are in this country, only give
their common sense time to come round, and they will not
fail to return again to the sober habits of thin king and act-
lug fl-ern which they have been led riskily. But whore-.
Urn can the ring-leaders of this exontliiitatien system make
to the wretched men whom they hate drawn aside from
their habits of industry—who have been persuaded by
thLir emissaries to embark in their designs, and to join the
conspiracy against their employers—and who, with a se-
vere winter comiug on, are now, whir their distressed wives
and children, thrown wholly out of brad? What have

these base and selfish leaders to say for having misled such
numbers to their ruin—what have they to say to the crowd
of starving workmen whom they have deceived up to the
very last moment, and who now in vain throng round their
fate employers for work which they have not to give? At
the very time that they, in secret, knew that their contribu-
tions were dwindling to nothing, and that their funds could
not hold out beyond the week—at that very time, instead
of disclosing to their deluded brethren—as in common hu-
manity they ought to have done—the frightful condition
into which they were brought; and recommending them,
for their own sakes, and for the sake of their familes, to re-
turn again to their employers—they were practising upon
them the most shameful misrepresentation to induce them
to hold out—and to keep alive in the subscribing members
of the TRADE'S UNION the factious spirit necesssary to
stir them up to contribution. The following, as our readers
will remember, was the language we quoted only last week
from the printed Acoaness of the Bradford Committee " to
the 111zcitantes, ARTISANS, and L•SOURIRS of the Ma-
nufacturing towns and villages of Great Britain:"—
" The Bradford contest, so far from being at an end, is
now likely to be carried on with greater vigour than ever ;
the UNION
.funds, so far from being exhausted, are now,
and always have been, equal to the demands made upon them;
the men, so far from desiring work upon any terms, are
firmly resolved never again to offer any abatement in Me
statement of prices which they at
.first presented to the
masters, and those persone who have been represented as
advising the workmen to turn-in, are now as diligent as
ever in attempting to provide them with the means of stand-
ing out."
And this very same Committee—these very same stirrers-
up of insurrection, in aid of their designs, were holding
out these statements, every syllable of which they knew to
be false—are forced by facts too glaring any longer to be
concealed, and by an accumulation teauffering, which
it had become dangerous any longer to trifle with—to dis-
cover to "the mechanics, artisans, and labourers of Great
Britain," the fatal truth, that the BRADFORD (70MBINA.•
riou was broken up—that the hope on the part of the
Committee of any longer perpetuating, or of profiting by,
the struggle, was at an end. In their Addressor last week
to their "LOST RESPECTED PELLOW.WORSMEN"IhrOIIgh•
out the kingdom, they inform all such among them as may
be anxiously waiting the issue of the Bradford turn-out,
that " their affairs have lately experienced a sudden and im-
portant change." No doubt this intelligence must have
taken " their most respected fellow-workmen" very
much by surprise! While their delegates were busied in
all quarters of the kingdom in organizing the system of
destruction to the master-manufacturers and capitalists—
when the last accounts wore so promising an aspect—
finances flourishing—men as determined as ever to stand out
to the last—masters, of course, on the eve of surrender—
when all were ready to cheer the Circular with three times
three—to learn, before they well got through the huzzas,
that there was "a sudden change in affairs!" While they
were dreaming only of victory, to receive a report of a
serious reverse! while they had fancied that

" Full surely their greatness was a-ripening,"

to hear of a " turn in'—their surprise at information so
unlooked-for, must be frit to be described.

Perhaps no crisis ever exhibited a more perilous experi-
ment upon the manufacturing classes than that which at
Bradford has followed the repeal of the Combination laws.
Never was a bolder attempt made to break down the fences
of pusper4. And what at loth are tliskWA444l,
What can more powerfully the end? if public in-
struction, than the reluctant; confessions which the cala-
mitous results have forced frotis the Committee in their last
address.

" It is true," say they, " that the wool-combers and
staff-weavers of Bradford cannot, many of them, now ob-
tain work, and are on this account likely to experience
greater hardships than those which they have already suf-
fered. It is also true, taut they would nose have been em-
ployed, had the cliffi•renee white their masters mover taken
place ; but then the Union, which is their defence, would
have been lost:

And what, after all, is the nature of this much-boasted
Union, and what has been its object ? It has been this—
to extort, by means of their united influence, a rate of wages
which their employers could not afford to give, and to stop
their works till they had constrained them, by the prospect
of inevitable ruin, to submit to .pay the prices fixed, and
below which they would permit no member of the Union
at his peril to take etnployment. May they not well shud-
der at the mass of wretchedness they have produced, when
they are constrained to add—

" The number of our fellow-workmen returned to their
employment amounts to about 1,700, and nearly AN EQUAL
NUMDER are without employment."

What compensation can they makelo this misguided
multitude, whom their pernicious counsels have thus cast
adrift upon the world ? One good, we trust, they will
have effected. They will make the most inconsiderate of
their fellow-workmen pane before they arc again drawn
in to make common cause with those who, under a pre-
tended zeal for their interests, lend them to their purposes,
and when that purpose fails, slip their own necks from the
collar, and leave their deluded yoke-fellows to suffer and
repent at their leisure.

The opening of the Market this morning was looked for
with great imercst, and some time before the regular hour

ble assemblage of retail rs.. The first quotation of Con-

to 86i. The above were the extreme quotations during
the whole of the day. At the close of business, Consols
for Money and Account were nearly the ,same as they
