[From the Moiiirerr of Sunday.—Non-Official part.)
Illanarn, JAN. 11.
Fire hundred thousand reels, part of the loan of Duebbard,h4.re
arrived at Madrid, and been deposited in the Royal Treisury.
His Majesty, h 7 a decree of the 7th instant, orders, that all offi„
tees not included in the new organization of the army, shall join ,e.
distely receive a month's pay to return to their homes. The sane
decree recommends to the intendants of the provinces the Errata;
punctuality in the payment of the sums allowed to these officer,.
ply another decree, his Majesty has restored to the town of ?a.
riffs a considerable ortroi (duty on good!, entering the gates) ro
assist it in repairing the losses which it sustained by the inrasioa of
the Constitutionalists on the 3d of August last year.
By a decree of the 111th December, his Majesty has confinled
the offices bestowed by the Viceroys of our American possessisoo
till the day when the Constitution was published there. His Ns_
jesty also confirms the military employments conferred since that
time. Messrs. Larrumbitle. illat Dates. 31artn, and Puig, co,o_
eillors of Castile, who were excluded at the beginning of last year,
have already been replaced ; the three first bad co-operated in
drawing up the new plan of public instruction ; the last is one of
the oldest Magistrates of the nation.
31. Bermudez, by the aid of M. Ugaree, daily obtains a more de.
Bided ascendancy over his colleagues. For some days past his 31a.
jest, has given ro private audiences. He relies all the applicatio,-.8
made to him to M. Zea.
Madame Erns, whose husband, Ex-31inister of Finance, is still
in exile at Valladolid. has again applied to his Majesty to ob:.-1
permission for him to return hither. The King answer,tl that this
petmission would be soon granted, but that the time was not )et
conic.
The Council of Castile is engaged with a plan for changing tfe
peat of some of the Coups of Justice in the kingdom, to afford the
inhabitants of the provinces in the resort of these tnbunals greater
facilities in carrying on their suits at law. The Courts of Karoo.,
Cazires, and Barcelona, arc included in these changes; they will be
removed to Olito, to Merida, and to Rens.

(EXTRACT FROM A PRIVATE LETTER).
The moderate party is on the point of wholly obtaining the
superiority. It is certain, that the Government having engaged by
two secret articles of the last treaty of occupation to publish a ri,w
amnesty, and to recognise the capitulation between the French and
the Spanish Generals, and to include in the that the Afrenccsadot,
the influence of the violent party must cease to be felt in our affairs.
With respect to the places occupied by the French, all persons
confined for political opinions or acts, before the entrance of the:
French army into Spain, have been set at liberty, and in the rut
of the Peninsula, all persons confined for their opinions have also
been discharged, against whom no representations hare bets
made, either relative to private damages or concerning their
political conduct. There are in circulation here copies of the re-
presentation made to the King at the beginning of last year, by
the Bishop of Alechoacan. It is observed, that the persons sir;
ing this paper propose to his hlajcsty to follow the example
of Louis XVIII., by granting a general and unrestricted Pm-
nenty. In the speech pronounced by the President of the Council
of Castile at the commencement of the year, according to custom,
it is remaiked, that 111. de l'illele several times repeated the
words " union," " oblivion," and " pardon." This speech also
gives credibility to the report of an approaching amnesty. jt is af-
firmed that Prince Maximilian loses no opportunity to impreuon his
Majesty its necessity and advantages. His Royal Highness bavirg
visited every thing remarkable in our capital, goes almost every
evening to the theatre with the King and the Princesses; national
plays and dances are always performed.

ZAWTI, DEC. 16.
An epidemic disorder, which broke out last autumn at Napoli in
Romania, the capital of Greece, had made a sensible derangement
in the operations that the Greek Government had began with
activity immediately after the last elections. The Vice- resident
of the executive power, Bonen:, a man as zealous for the public
gond as he was influential, has died a victim of this autledy. The
President, Corduriottis, has at present quitted the capital, to con.
duct his family to Hydra, his native place.
At this period, Panos Colocotroni, son of the General of that
name, was in the neighbourhood of Gumuni, with a detachment.
At the time of the troubles of the Pelopontresits, excited by his
father, this young officer commanded the garrison of Napoli di
Romania. Completely blocked up by sea and laud, he surrendered
the place to Government ; and some days after the amnesty, which
that Government, following its paternal sentiments, hail published,
he solicited an inferior command in the army. The Executive
Council, who only opposed opinions and not persons, granted it him.
On the first news of the disorder produced in the capital, Coloco.
trail the younger thought this a favourable occasion to re.eatablish,
by a coup de main, the ancient influence of his family, now entirely
destroy:id ; but after a day's march, his unruly detachment was
desirous of knowing its Intended destination, and, upon being
instructed of the criminal designs of their Chief, the 'culla-
nant soldiers furiously set upon him and slew him. The nu.
merous agents that a certain Power, known by its rage against the
Greeks, entertains in this country, had at first spread the report
that the movement of Panos Colocotmni was part of a vast conspi-
racy prepared for a longtime past, and in which no less a matter was
agitated than the introduction of Mehemed Ali Pacha into the
Mores ; but the positive news of the country tells us that it was
only a melancholy ebullition with which the momentary derange-
ment occasioned by the epidemy had inspired a young officer, as
fickle as he was turbulent. His death spares the Government an
act of severity.

MADRID, JAW. 10.
The Ministers of Foreign Powers continually endeavour to ob-
tain the publication of a new amnesty, and every thing leads to the
belief that, definitively, their efforts will meet with success; for
I have it from persona who are very near the Ministers, that are.
port on that important subject is ready to be presented to his
Majesty. Forty persons will be excepted in this amnesty. Thom
persons employed before 1020, will be divided into two classes;
those of the first will keep. for life, two-thirds of their appoint.
ments, and those of the second, one-third ; lastly, those who,
during the war of independence, followed the party of Joseph, will
be re-established in the enjoyment of all their civil rights ; they
may be even nominated to municipal employments (emplitur tle
republica) t they cannot, however, aspire to be re-established in the
honours and employments which they held in 111011. The question
of the American expedition is always entertained in the frequent
councils which the Ministers continue to hold. It seems, that in
the last it was decided that sixty artillery officers of the ex.con-
stitutional army should be re-established without any previous
purification, to set out for America, and that one party of them
should embark forthwith to join the expedition which set out from
Ferrol a month ago.
PARIS, Jar. Is.
It is generally thought on the Exchange, that the measures to be
taken by our Government. both with regard to England and Spain,
will depend upon the answer which is expected from St. Peter.
burgh concerning the acknowledgment of the new States of South
America. The days and the weeks are counted which must elapse
until the opening of the discussions on the projects of indemnity to
be granted to the emigrants, and on the 3 per Cents. It is thought
that till then the business will not he very animated.

Maixixcgre, JAY. 4.
The States-General of the Duchy of Saxe.Meiningen, assembled
for some time, have, from their first sittings, ordered the publicity
of discussion ; they have, besides, fixed the daily entertainment Of
Deputies at 3 florins 20 kreurzers per day. The assembly after-
wards adopted the proposition of the Sovereign, to consert to the
prolongation of the taxes and impositions (already grarrea) during
the approaching Trimestre, or for the whole of the financial yew,
in case the Assembly should not be again convoked before the Ist
of April. 10''22. Lastly. it has resolved to grant, for the charges of
the marriage of his highness the reigning Duke, who espouses a
daughter of the Elector of Hesse, an extraordinary contribution of
12,000 florins.

the service of France, who has been comprehended in the copra'
accusation directed against the Catalonian refugees, and who has
opposed Ilia quality of stranger, has been waiting for five trowhs
past in the very unhealthy prison of Castillet, until the 1. ivil Tri_

Olive have been transinltted by the Council of War to the M mister
