LONDON,
MONDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1836

Letters and papers from Madrid, to the 22nd inst.,
have been received. 73y a Royal Deree, dated the
21st, the QUEEN REGENT has restored to their re-
spective appointments the seventeen ex-Deputies and
other persons removed by IsTußiz, in consequence
of "their adherence to to the MENDIZABAL Adminis-
tration. , A second Royal Decree announces the re-
appointment of General RoDIL to the Commander-
ship-in-Chief of the army of the North ; General
SAN MIGUEI„ who first proclaimed the Consti-
tution of ISI2 at Saragossa, to the chief com-
mand of the army of the centre, and to remain Captain-
General of Arragon ; the Marquis of IVIoNsALun,
Captain-General of Estremadura ; DON ANTONIO
QUIROCA, Captain-General of Granada ; and DoN
DIONISIO MARCILLA, Military Governor of Ba-
dajos. Thus the appointment of General SAARS-
FIELD to the Chief Command of the army of opera-
tions is cancelled almost as soon as signed. It is al-
leged now that .4;11c appointment was both provisional
and conditional, the conditional part referring exclu-
sively to the probable course taken by France. Had
LOUIS PHILIPPE changed his mind on the question
of intervention, SAARSFIELD was to have retained
the command, as the French soldiery are supposed to
feel a stronger attachment to his person than they do
towards any other Spanish General.

Some disturbance took place in Madrid on the
night of the IBth, Tout happily it was quelled without
the effusion of much blood. We have copied the ac-
count of this Zray from the correspondence of a
Morning Contemporary, so that it is unnecessary
here to detail. the circumstances which led to it. The
Government will require to proceed very cautiously,
and by no means to suffer the appearance of disunion
between the troops and the populace.
The Constitution of 1812 has been proclaimed
throughout the whole of the kingdom of Arragon.
On the 16th it was solemnly proclaimed and sworn to
in Barcelona, by command of General MINA. Order
and place reigned in the city, the streets of which
were beautifully decorated with flags, banners, and
constitutional mottos.

CALATRAVA had appointed the 21st for complet-
ing his Ministry. It was supposed that MENDIZABAL
would decline accepting office before the meeting of
the Cortes, when he is to defend himself against the
charges preferred against him by IsTuarz. CALA-
TRAVA has endeavoured to convince him that his
services are not less indispensable, than his support, to
the present Government ; but, as yet, the ex-President
has steadily refused the acceptance of the Portefeuille
of Finance Minister. ARGUELLES has also shown
unwillingness to accept office—less because he appre-
hends a change in the Administration, than on account
of his declining strength and the delicacy of a worn-
out constitution. Himself and MENDIZABAL are,
however, zealous in their support of CALATRAVA,
who is very generally regarded as an honest, plain-
dealing, straightforward Liberal.
Of ISTURIZ and his colleagues nothing positive is
known, but that they keep themselves concealed. Ac-
cording to some persons, they were on their way to
France on the 19th ; while others allege that on the
21st they were concealed in Madrid.
Since her arrival in Madrid, the QUEEN REGENT
has appeared well reconciled with the new state of
things. A new election of the Cortes has been de-
creed for remodelling the Constitution, so as to suit all
its articles to the state of existing affairs in Spain.
The new Cortes, so elected, are not expected to meet
before the 25th of October.'
The QUEEN'S safety and the tranquillity of Spain
must now depend upon her MAJESTY'S firm adhe-
rence to the Constitution. If she again throw herself
into the arms of the Serviles and Absolutists, she is
lost.

The French Papers of Friday and Saturday, re-
ceived this morning, are filled with rumours, specula-
tions, suggestions, and hints, intermixed with graver dis-
cussions, on the all-engrossing subject of the dissolution
of the TRIERS Cabinet. A variety of articles from them,
all bearing more or less upon the importance of this
event, will be found in another part of The Sun,
headed " Dissolution of the French Cabinet." For

our own part, we see no reason to change the opinions
which we so fully expressed on Saturday. The KING
was most unquestionably right in refusing intervention
after the Liberals had succeeded in proclaiming the
Constitution of Cadiz, by consent of the Regent of
SPAIN. Froiri that instant the whole question as-
sumed quite another appearance ; and from the tone
of previous discussions in the Councils of Ministers,
we were prepared to hear the KING suddenly cry
out for intervention, and M. THIERS as strenu-
ously oppose it. How the KING and the Mini-
ster came to persist in the same opinions—while
circumstances had entirely reversed the necessary
results of their previous adoption—is a mystery
which we cannot pretend to explain. According to the
previous reasoning of Louts-PHILIPPE and M.
THIERS, the Proclamation of the Constitution
through Spain must have removed the KING'S scru-
ples, and justified a hostile intervention ; while, on the
other hand, it ought to have silenced the demands of
the Minister for the presence of a French army in the
Peninsula.

We still continue to be of opinion that M. THIERS
will be allowed to remain but a short time out of office.
His services, in the present state of public opinion in
France, are all but indispensable to the Government.
The Count MOLE and M. GUIZOT, are both spoken
of as likely to be entrusted with the formation of a new
Cabinet. We can hardly believe that either of them
will be successful. GUIZOT is only fitted for the De-
partment of Public Instruction. There only would his
philosophy assist him in the discharge of official func-
tions. He is a man of whom France may be justly
proud ; for as a professor of History he stands unri-
valled in the world ; but he has not the quickness of per-
ception and the promptitude of despatch, absolutely re-
quired in a Minister charged with the management of the
Foreign Affairs of such a country as France. As for
Count MOLE he is no great favourite with any party.
It would require the exercise of more royal and courtly
influence than it would be prudent to waste upon a
fifth-rate statesman to keep him in office for a single
session, if opposed by THIERS and his late colleagues.

The following are extracts from the Journals :

PARIS, Auo. 26.—A letter from Toulon of the 22d August
says, " The Minister of Marine has suppressed the naval
station at Leghorn. The Admiral (Prossel) has therefore
been obliged to write to the Captain of the Expeditive, now
at Leghorn, to return immediately to Toulon. It is astonish.
ing, that in a port which is the centre of all the legitimist in-
trigues, where the Carto Alberto was fitted out to bring us the
Duchess of Berry, and where Don Miguel has fixed his head-
quarters, that our Minister should keep a vessel to watch the
proceedings of his enemies, by placing at the disposal of our
Consul-General a vessel always ready to sail and bring infor-
mation of all that passes in that focus of conspiracy.
" All the vessels in the road, which had orders to be ready
to sail at the first signal, are detained by a telegraphic order.
There is hesitation in all that is intended to be done."

PARIS, AUG. 27.—The Moniteur makes no reply to the
Journal de Paris, and the Ministerial crisis remains at the
point which we indicated : the Ministry dissolved, and over-
tures made to M. Mole.

The Sentinelle des Pyrenees says that the division of
Espartero proclaimed the Constitution of 1812 before the
events at La Granja were known.
It is asserted, says a Journal, that orders have been sent to
General Lebeau to repass the frontier immediately.—Journal
du Commerce, Aug. 27—Second Edition.
The Swiss Journal Helvetie, persists in declaring that the
famous letter of M. Thiers to the Duke of Montebello, the
authenticity of which is denied by the French Ministry, is
genuine. It says, "We are so able to certify that the copy
of the letter is correct in substance, that we can correct some
slight errata. Thus, at the head of the letter, instead of M.
is Dec the original was Monsieur duc de Montebello ; and the
words Blocus hermctique, are followed by these words, Pour
les hommes et lee chose."

BOURSE, QUARTER. TO FOUL—The market was very brisk
at the opening of the Bourse. The Three per Cents. were
buyers at 80f. sc. ; Spanish Actives, at 30i; and Three per
Cent. Portuguese, at 44. On a sudden a sensible fall took
place in the Portuguese, to 421, the Spanish Actives to 301,
and the French Three per Cents, to 79f. 95c. No certain
reason is assigned for this sudden fall; it is only reported that
a commercial courier has arrived from Madrid of the 21st, but
nothing is said of the contents of the despatches.

Brussels and German papers of the latest dates have
been received. Politically speaking, their contents are
unimportant, with the exception of the advices from
Belgrade, relative to the discovery of a conspiracy in
Constantinople to murder the Sultan. The following
extracts from them are interesting :
BELGRADE, A (To. 12.—Letters from Constantinople of the
sth of this month, to some merchants here, announce that a
conspiracy against the life of the Sultan had been discovered.
Fortunately, the authorities were informed in time, so that a
dreadful crime, which would have endangered the existence of
the Turkish empire, has been prevented. Numerous arrests
took place, especially in the night of the 3d of August, in con-
sequence of the discoveries that were made. Some days pre-
ceding, and before the plan of the conspirators was known,
some symptoms of mutiny appeared among the marine sol-
diers, which likewise led to executions, that were effected in
the most secret manner. The details of this important event
were not publicly known, but it was generally affirmed that
the conspiracy was very extensive, and that there were accom-
plices in the army as well as among civil officers. Tranquillity
had not been interrupted at the time that the letters left Con-
slantinople, though there was, of course, a general fermen-
tation.

BRUSSELS, Ara. 26.—An Ostend paper says The fol-
lowing vessel, Weltlust, Captain L. Roose, has just re-
turned from the Iceland fishery. The Captain reports that
nine vessels belonging to the ports of Denmark have lately
been totally lost in the dangerous coasts, where he has
been for five months. He estimates the number of sailors who
have lost their lives at 180. The Weltlust itself struck on
some rocks below water, and owed its safety only to its being
strongly built, and especially to a high wave which set it afloat
again. The crew of the Weltlust (as we often so practised)
have been barehead and barefoot on a pilgrimage to the chapel
of Notre Dame de bon Secours. It makes one's heart bleed to
think that these brave men, saved,.as they say, by a miracle, have
returned to their numerous families only to experience misery
as the reward of so many dangerous labours, hardships, and
privations. Their cargo, consisting of 278 barrels of fine cod,
being sold by auction on Friday last, did not produce enough
to cover the expenses. These poor fellows are in consterna-
tion. They are heard to regret that they did not perish on the
coast of Iceland."

ANTWERP, Ace. 26. —The Lightning steam-boat, which
has arrived to-day, brought the British Ambassador to the
Court of France, Lord Granville, and his family. A
letter from Ghent says :—" We take pleasure in confirm.
ing the increasing prosperity of all the manufactures of the
country. At Ghent, and the other manufactnring towns of
Flanders, the great number of workmen who come from be-
yond the frontiers find employment the same day that they
apply to a manufacturer. If wages are not higher, it is owing to
the low price of the provisions and the mildness of the season."
The tribunal of Amiens has just decided that a combination
of the owners of public conveyances (messageries) to lower
their prices, in order to ruin other competitors, is
an offence
provided against by Art. 419 of the Penal Code. In conse-
quence of this decision, the proprietors of the " Messageries
Royales," and those of the carriages of Lafitte and Caillard,
are under prosecution, accused of combination in having made
an exaggerated reduction of their prices, in order to ruin the
proprietors of the " Messaigeries Picardes."—Brussels Papers,
Aug. 27.
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, Auo. 9.---The cholera is again ap-
proaching the Turkish territory. Some cases have occurred
close to the frontier and in Semlin ; and it is said that there
have been some cases resembling cholera even in Belgrade.
The wife of Prince Milosch, with her two sons, lately passed
the Austrian frontier to visit her daughters who are married in
Hungary. Perfect tranquility prevails in all se.rvia. The
transactions of the last Servian Diet are uninteresting. They
relate chiefly to ecclesiastical affairs. The organic statute for
