Letters from Madrid, of the 29th of Deceitil•er,
say, that an extmordinary courier WA+ disiatteliert
to Naples, for the purpose of deferring the mar-
riage of the Princess Louisa Cliarlotta with the
Infant I)un Francisco de Paoht, the celebration of
which WAS to take place, by I,rtue of expie.or
powers, on the 12th of January. it is prrs.ilto
that this courier will not arrive in time at Naples to
postpone the ceremony.
A traveller, lately arrived from Egypt, gibes the
folloiviug details respecting that country : -

voted to this object, mid if the means by which, he
obtains them are sometime. rigorous, hie fortune
maintains throughout the most perfect older. hits
measures are, moreover, so well taken, that no ,na.
!tractor can withdraw himself more than mom-antl-
twenty hours from the research of the authoritics.
The country, therefore, never offered such security
to travellers."
The same traveller attributes the death of the
Prichleit eldest son to the lively anxiety lie excited

wrest. On his return from the war, which he had
so gloriously sustained against the Wechalutes. the
youog Prince demanded that his father should re-
ceive him standing. The Podia at first exclaimed
against this pretension, but considering that be
taught not to displease him fur whom the army bid

It is still very difficult to divine what welt :he
projects of the armed hinds which from the
. vetoes of the Sierra Nloreita descesided on La
.tiiftichs, and there made several invention*: it is
Urban only that they are very numerous, and that
there are among ;helm some soldiers who served in
the eetny. or in the during the war in the
Peninsula. These bands have levied contribetions
at Son* Cruz, and even to the centre of La
Nienclp, at Madrid-jos. Several Iterates% whom
they hid seised here bete released, after one or two
days detention. In these circentsiaitces go- Govern-
ment has caused some troops to take up cantors-
meets at Villista, eluded-Real, Almagro,
Alwn-
redid. and other places situated in the plains or
nt
the foot of the mountains. Tembleeste will
form the centre of these contorineetsis, and
there a detachment of royal cedristers has
Lora sent. Three movements, the ordinary pro-
ceedings in civil and foreign wars, offer nothing
truly slerusiug ; however. in the preterit elate of
the public meta, they cause some vague 'anxieties,
and, as usual, mech exaggeration. On the other
side, the Government observing silence ou these
disorders, and troth being obscured by every kind
el rumours, which vary accordieg to the opinions of
those alto give them utterance, it is not easy to have
Si! react isles on oleo is going forward.
It es said that the Court of ItioJetierio has taken
the formal resolution of not departing its any re-
spect from its projects upon Monte Video and its
territpary, onlll Spine his shone justice to its de-
mands relative to the restitution of Olteener, and
the other districts housefly heloeging to Portugal.
'Three &scut-ions are of an interest so much the
greater, its the.), night cause evil conesqustices if
the seterventioe of some of the Allied Powers do
nut succeed in adjusting these differences.
Several vessel: leore entered Cadit laden with

This

escort the expedition are equipped. The transport
snipe arrive successively at Coda, where they are
i.rilhirrd to receive the troops. The Cornet de

vitiat►an on his arrivel in Americo, to lead hark the

teeresures foil, he will then push the war with all the
