An express has paired from Madrid with letters
and papers to the 4th list inclurive. The contract
fin the new loan had been adjudged to the House of
Arduin, Hubbard, and Co. and this contract has
been ratified with the proper forn settles. That
house has, however, obtained as was expected, the
prolongation of the privilege conceded to theta by
the treaty of November, 1821, of converting bonds
of the old loans of Holland, Paris, and Aiadrid,
into insc►iptions in the great book of Spain. The
preparatory meeting of the Cortcs was on the Ist
tom. and on the 411 t the installation ut' that as•vibly
t►ok place in the usual manner. Perfect trun►iiltty
reigned in Madrid, and the news from the provinces
was favourable.
Extract of a letter from Gibraltar, dated the 231

ult.:—
" You will have heard, long before this re Iles you, of the
interruption to the correspondence through France to
We have received nu English or French letters everland tor the
last five posts. It is said by the authorities in Madrid. that the
mails have been robbed by lour thieves on the iltirgns remit; Mt*,
if true, would in itself show the weakness of the Constitutional
Government ; bat it is the general opinion, that those to au-
dic-ks have intercepted them, in order either to obtain any secret
political intelligence *lnch letters might contain, or to prevent
arty communication of the state of the country, which is known
to be very had. I tun the more persuaded of this. us the mail
from Cuta:onia does not arrive : and it would seem limn the
Spanish papers that the Royalist party thete is very fotniVlable.
In my (mink)°, a crisis is fa,t approaching. which will elbsolre
the new order of things in Spain. We are at a loss to imagine
what the Sardinian squadron continues here for. The Portu-
guese frigates cruise within the Straits during Ole easterly wind
against tbe Tunisian States. but none of those cruisers have yet
made their appessianee. The American squadron, it seems, did
not remove their stores front Mahon; the Governor having told
deem he bud receivnd no ordets on the subject."
.Advices from Nladras of the .'oth of May state,
that the Glasgow frigate was refitting at Trinco-
make for the purpose of returning to Calcutta, and
of bringing the Marquis of Hastings to England,
should he wish to leave his government previous to
die arrival */ a successor ; and in that case General
Sir Edward Paget was to proceed from Colombo to
Calcutta, and assutne the cammand in chief of all
the troops in India and its dependencies.
The letters from Rio de Janeiro state, that on the
Sd of August the Minister of State convened a
meeting of the principal merchants, both foreign
and native, for the purp-se of effecting a loan. The
sum reuqired was 400,000 milreas, which was soon
subscribed. Several of the British merchants have
taken shares in this loan, which is 6 per cent. in-
terest; and 10 per cent. of the capital is to be re-
deemed annually. Many of the European Portu-
guese had also subscribed.
On Saturday last, Thomas Northmore, Esq. of
Cleeve house, Devonshire, went before S. F. Mil-
Cm!, Esq. and entered into a recognizance of 5001.
fir the future good behaviour of Mr. Hunt, after his
liberation, on the 30:11 instant, from Ilchester gaol,
where he will have been confined two years and u
