SANTIAGO, AUG. 12.—A , letter from Madrid,
dated 'July 30, states; that on• the 28th in the even-
ing an Officer arrived from, the Army in Andalusia,
with a Dispatch from General CASTANOS to °TAR-
' RIL, requiring him to deliver to ;he King of NAPLES
aletter to the following 'effect The General in
Chief of the combined armies of Estremadura, Va-
lencia, and Andalusia, consisting of 120;000 infan-
try, 14,000 cavalry, 320 cannon of every descrip-
tion, &c: enjoins the King of NAtit.Es, within three
days, 'to evacuate . Madrid, with all his troops, as
shoujd that period elapse wikhouf such evacuation,
the General will be obliged to employ all hiS tOrees
with the utmost severity, which he hopes Will not be
the.case ; and he trusts that, on their retreating, no
violence, will be committed towards the persons and
property of the inhabitants of Madrid, 'as the gene-
ral retains in his cu'tody 27,000 French soldiers,
12 generals, 103. Colonels, and- IWO Officers, to
none of whom, in such case,' will any quarter be,
given."

" The letter from IVladrid then proceeds as fol-
