Extract of a letter from Madrid, natal 11th October:—
" Although Spain is at this moment in the insist dept w-
able situation ; although the public treasury is empty, and
the public functionaries unpaid ; and they find it impuswilde
to negotiate a new loan to remedy this distress ; although,
in fact, affairs of the matt serious importance at this
instant occupy the attention of our Cabinet ;—yet France
talks of withdrawing her troops to the Ebro: and finales,
as conditioned consenting t t allow the ram to temain concen-
trated upon the banks of that river, she demands a cum-
piece change in the system of our government—a perfect
amnesty—the re-tstablishint rat of a is,:siwe ksat—and the
payment of the expenses incurred by the army of occupa-
tion. You will do wrong to suppose that this lamentable
state of our affairs gives the least uneasiness to Fe-Mins:4,
or disturbs in the least degree his accostoined amuse:rants.
The character of' that Prince is not in any way changed by
these difficulties, under which many others would be
deeply afflicted. Cc:minced that lie reigns by " right di-
vine," he enjoys himself without control ; he leaves all
public affairs to his Nlinisters. Three things in particular
occupy his time, and furnish the charm of his life:—lea
cigar-re., lea files, el lea wariettrites.
The last accounts we hail of the great Canadian ark
(the Columbus) was, that she hail bet n seen below Father
Point, tachiag to windward, with, us our correspondent
expressed it, " admirable precision ;" and it was further
stated, that she answered her hell!' like a boat. By the
arrival of the Norfolk, which left Quebec on the Iti'h ult.
we find that she has nut herself aground in the Gulf of
St. Lawrence. If she had good ground ben:ath her, and
no heavy swell, this accident must be considered as of but
little consequence, and all the harm that can happen to a
veinel so strongly built, and so long and flat in the flour, is,
fiat she may remain neaped for some tides; but if there'
sbas been .ajutuble of a sea, or she has grounded on a
rocky bottom, abr.:mist have gone to pieces in a very short
time. At the same time it is proper to state, that the
report is only, _on hearsay evidence, and that no person of
the Norfolk had seen het in this situation, though the must
have passed within sight of her in cot • g down the River.
During yesterday a considerable fluctuation took place
in Mexican Scrip: it opened in the morning at Int , and in
the course of the forenoon rose about I per cent. About
an hour and a half after mid-day it fell about 2, but to-
' wards the close it neatly or altogether recovered. The
tame of this vadat iati it is impossible devise, no intelligence
having been received front .South AIM'S lea ; and the Ja-
maks mail, which has been daily and hourly expected in
the City, being still due. Indeed, it is now known that
the date of its sailing front the West Indies has been post-
ponetl. The only cause that can be ascribed is, that in the
ads lice of bad news (according to the ptoverb), good has

EX.RaCt of a letter front Bogota, dated June 10:—" We
beg to recommend latest earnestly to the attention of the
legislature the rep, al Of the decree which prevents foreign
inerchanta front transacting their own business in the country.
These are remains of the wretched mercantile system of the
Spaniards ; innumerable are the objections which may be
raised aesitist it. Complaints are constantly heard in all
quarters by the foreign merchants at the obstacles which it
presents to their establishment in this country, and conse-
quently to the investment of capital, the thin; perhaps we
stand most in mad of. We again repeat our recommenda-
tion to the Congress to take this affair into consideration ;
and we are convinced that upon the slightest attention
being devoted to it, the pernicious consequences it entails
upon the conic try will Ise instantly peweived, and an im-
mediate, repeal resolved upon."

Ott the evening of the 19th of Sept., while the Madan
was repairing, at Gibraltar, the damages she hail sustain-
cal by lightning, the crew discovered a large ship on tire.
The most prompt assistance was immediately rendered by
the boats of the Phaeton, and Capt. Start was most con-
spicuous in his exertions to etaleavour to save her. She
proved to be the American ship Nancy, of Philadelphia,
with a valuable cargo, estimated at stomoof. The most
unroatitting and astonishing efforts woe made, hut without
effect, to subdue the progress of the hames, and Captain'
Stun left her only a few minutes before bite Meta up. Such
was the sense entertaintsl of these exertions by the Ameri-
can trading intsrest at Gibraltar, that the merchants and
masters of vessels, nearly thirty is number, requested
Captain Soot's acceptance of an scwoptiate piece of plate,
an Ametican whale Ireat of very sop.irior constro.-tion,
and the last ',attn.:lied atles, as a taark of the gratitude.
On the ',nth September the re were great festivities at
Christiania, to celebrate the two hundredth anniversary of
