MADRID, NOV. 4.—The greatest tranquillity
continues to preva►l in this city, The union and
devotedness of the Cortes, the energy and frankness
of the Ministry, the imposing attitude which the
constitutional troops have taken on all points, 'an-
nounce a future fall of confidence. The news of
the success of General Mina, and the defeat of the
band under the Care Merino, have produced the
happiest effects on public opinion. There are also
reports of other advantages obtained by Zarco del,
Valle and by Gen, Espinosa, the confirmaiiol of
which is every moment expected. The little con•
cord which -prevails at the Congress of Verona. is
spoken of also vaguely, and well-informed persons
do not doubt that the part which England will take
in this assembly will be what justice and sound po-
licy prescribe.
The Municipality of Madrid has just decreed the
creation of a new corps of National Guard, which
will be composed of boys from the age of ten to that
of seventeen years, who, however, will only be ad-
mitted upon the consent of their parents. This men-,
sure has, fbr its object, to familiarise youth, from
their infancy, with constitutional ideas.
During several days past, an extraordinary activity
a, •
has been remarked in the War Department, and
orders have been given fur the completion of numer-
ous articles which the artillery are in need of, as
well as fur purchases of horses; supply of clothing,
&c.—Very extensive movements • continue to be
made amongst our troops ; nil, or nearly all, the
provincial militia are on foot, and march, as well as
troops of the line, towards the French frontiers
there only remains in the interior what is indispen-
sable for the maintenance of public tranquility, and,
Even the garrisons of the fortresses are reduced to
their esiattnuni.
Yesterday, Lieutenant-Gen. the Prime of Santos,
Mauro was put into prison. During the first week
of July, this personage did not quit the palace: ac-
cording to iraformation obtained by preliminary
iuvestigation, it is affirmed that he Was nominated
Captain or Comrtwndant•General of the entire divi-
sion of the Royal Guard, in case the project of de-
stroying the Constitutional system should succeed.
The Marquess de Cam Sarria has fled to Gibral-
tar: orders had been already given for his arrest.
The Duke de l'lnfantado has also escaped from Co-
runna, and has embarked for England.
The Cortes yesterday granted Government the
sums it had required for the augmentation of the
army. Immediately afterwards, extraordinary cou-
riers were despatched to the provinces with the ne-
cessary orders and instruction to hasten all the
preparations of• this great operation, so that it is
thought that ere the lapse of three months, we shall
be able to place on foot an army of 60,000 men,
Bunescts, Nov. 7.—At Liege, some arms manu-
factured in that town by Messrs. Malnerbe de Gof-
fontuir.e, and Runge and Son, Lave been ,shewn ;
they consist of sabres, pistols, and fowling pieces,
and leave nothing to be desired on the score of good
taste, of design, or of perfect execution. When
Belgium was united to France, the French Govern-
ment knew how to value the importance of the ma-
nufacturers at Liege, and gave them useffil encou-
ragement. The Ministry of the Netherlands have
required six years before they suspected that these
fine manufactures were not less estimated than those
of England, and that it would be more advantageous
to cause the arms for the troops to be manufactured
ut Lege, than to import them from England.
STOCKHOLM, OCT. .10.—The Danish Govern-
ment hes consented to settle the Norwegian debt to
Denmark fior 1,700,000 rix dollars, Iltunbargh
