SPANISH PAPERS.

MADRI n, JAI. 25.—We have obtained some ad-
ditional information relative to the famous mis-
sion of the Duke de Stn Carlos.. That perionage,
it appears, brought two letters, one from our be-
. loved King, and the other from the execrable Cor-
sican. The Rego' y opened the former, but the
latter-was sent back unopened to its treacherous
anthor. In this conduct, the Regency gave a new
proof of the decision, good faith, and loyalty with
which they act fur the benefit of the country. We.
understand, also, that in the first secret sitting of
the Corte, the Regency laid betoye them an ac-
'count of the new plots of the dorsican, and of the
•manner in which they had acted ; and that the
Cortes expressed their ,full satisfaction at the
course pursued by the Regency. We have also great
pleasure in communicating, that the CorteS and the
Executive Government proceed with the greatest
union and harmony in this delicate business, with
which it ti.as the object of.the Corsican to enittrail
us ; and that these two authorities, animated with
the most patriotic sentiments, correspond entire-
ly with the wishes of • the Spanish people, who
have entrusted to them the happiness of. the

• country. "
One observation we won!el make, and it is this
is not yet certainly known whether the Re-
gency have taken measures to prevent s;milar
Corsican missions in future. We have, however,
reasons to presume, that orders have been given
to prohibit any cniiasary or envoy of Buonaparte's
from treading the Spanish soil. W'►hat confirms
us in this presumption is, the knowledge‘that Pa-
latox, who had IT .ched Vich in Catalonia, has
not since moved astep in advance.

..JANUARY f:i.—We have now to mention ano-
ther branch of the Corsican's plot, which has
rcacl)cd us ititherto only in the shape of rumour,
but
.which, when we consider its finesse, and the
new embarrassment in which it was meant to en-
-tangle ns", lila.; yet be looked upon as authentic.
It a:ipea:s, then, that by the treaty bittween our
un:ovtiiiiate King and Nona') ,rte, the latter was
to Inn- ore in marriage fur Ferdinand VII. an
Austrian Princess, the Archduchess Maria Bea-
trix, aged 26 years, and the daughter of the
Archduke Ferdinand, uncle of time Emperor. It
'is unnecessary to point out to otw readers the
views of Buonaparte in this proposed connection:
the Emperor of Austria, it seems, is to be the
plank of safety for the Corscan in his present
tremendous shipwreck : he will leave no stone
unturned to deceive him, and to deceive us.—
Again, therefore, would we inculcate the neces-
sity of vigilance against his plots and intrigues.
J. 2G.—According to the most recent ac-.
counts, notshing of importance had occurred in
the.hlockades of Sagunto, keniscola, Lerida, and
Tortosa.

'lnert is a ramous here that the Conde de Fer-
man Nunez, and Senor Perei de Castro, have
been appointed to represent the Spanish nation at
-any Congress for peace.
CADIZ, J. 18.—The Mino, which is just
arrived, is one of the richest vessels that
ever entered our port. She brings from "Vera
Cruz 3,624,466 dollars of Mexican coinage,
-and 157,563 in provincial money, besides
-245 bars of silver, and 32„395 ingots (eight
ounces each), 257 bags of cochineal, 23 of indigo,
and 19 chests of vanilla. 'Mom tie flavannah she
brings 81,085 dollars of • Mexican coinlge, and
11,023 in provincial money, 3481 ounces of gold,
heiides a large quantity of tobacco, coffee, and
Jo bark.

accounts from Xalapa, dated September 19,
wc learn, that an epidemic disorder raged in the
city of 1).-lexico, which had ..0t off 25,000 of the
inhabitants. The Gazette of that capital of the
,lth of September, contains-an account of a vic-
tory gained by General Arridondo, over 2400
Anglo-Americans, and 600 Indians under Toledo.
This action liad.•s-.9cnred the province of
,Tejas,
and given a mortal blow to the disastrous rebellion
in that kingdom. On the other hand, the rebel
Morelos, it was said: half made himself master of
the castle .of Acapul-o, with much riches, 2000
muskets, and the best artillery in the kingdom.
It was also asserted, that he was assembling de-
puties from various districts for the formation of
a Congress.

Our latest accounts from Montevideo are to the
19th of October. Both the expeditions, with
troops from Cadiz, bad arrived there ,• but-800
of them were sick of the scurvy, and nothing had
been clone from sickneis and the want of cavalry.

Paris, September 29, 181-3.
My dear General,—l received at Chet hourg the
letter you did Me the honour to write to me from
Dresden on the 18th of August. I wisbed not to
answer it-till I should he in readiness to execute
the commission with which it elmges me to the
King of Spain. Yesterday, and Ihe day before,l
. passed at Mortefontaine. I read his Majesty the
few lines in which you expi e,s your sentiments
towards him, and your wi,hes for his prosperity:
The Kirlg appeared very sen.:ible of •them, and
charged me to thank you. llis Majesty is 'eery
well, and has grown fat since his irrivaLat Morte-
fontaine. Thcv lead the same sort of life there
that you. remember.: they breakfast in shine
summer-house ; • t.li4 bunt, fish, sail, soy n:!it
a word about business; dine, . play at bil-
liards; and go to ben. The King maintains bitn-
self strictly incognito from all the world, and
receives neither Ministers, nor Senators, 11.7
Counsellors of State, nor military omen : in short,
nobody. You must perceive that his ft.-~e.-t !..itia-
tion, and the Emperor's alisence. 5-ender this
conduct in some sort necessary. The, Princess
Zenaide is little; round, wed farmed, well edu-
cated, and speaks with a ereir deal o; good sense,
and much to:ilie porrose. It is i'it easytO see
what hinders Ler from getting :. liusba,,d. The
other is still very thin, bat seas hie. The king
'seems to be well satisfied wit !1 a private life ;.at
least he is much at his eas-, and treats the ap-
pearance of its being altogether to his taste. lie
retains his formeiyaliabili,y, as ihr,Queen does,
her natural di,cernment, her quickness of pone- ,
tration, and her good senso, well seasoned, but
without Venom.

TUE ARC -CIIANCEI,LOR OF THE EMPIRE TO HIS
MAJESTY TIT r. F.150.F..1t01t AND .KI NG.
Sire,—l received this mortunla the letter with
which your i\Ljesty honoured me, tinted Harlan,
the 24th of this mouth. It has made me very
hippy, 'as, I had been eighteen clays tvithollt re-
ceiving any news direa from your Majesty.' From
the interruption of the.coinnamications, we ought
not to he surprised at receiving no letters. But
the public, who reason little, or reason ill, ima-
gined that, this suspension. -arose from the. bad
state of atirs, and presaged evils from which we
are now happily rendered secure.
According to- what has reached me from the
Duke of Bassano,,and from other quarters, I find
that your Majesty has cleated all the defiles of the ,
Saxon frontiers, and paralysed all the movements
attempted by the enemy to operate a new inva-
sion.
Your Majesty supposes, in your letter, that I
have received the pieces on the Austrian declara-
tion, 4.e. I have already rendered au account to
your Majesty on this subject in my letter of the 22d
it will therefore he enough to recall to your Ma-
jesty that the two first dispatches were lost, that
the triplicate reached us, and was. presented to me
by M. de la 4esnardiere ; but these pieces tieing
very voluminous, it has not yet been possible to
complete the copies. I add, that having received ,
rt.) command nor instruction from your Majesty, ;
relative to the communications to he made to the j
Senate,_ I shall defer making- any use of these j
pieces till your Majesty shall be pleased to make
known to me your Majesty's intentions on the se-
veral points which I have taken the lib.tty to sub-
mit to him. I again entreat your :Niajesty's di-
.
rections on that subject.
Some articles, inserted by the Minister of Po-
lice in the inferior journals, and the last notices
of the Monileur, have contributed to improve time
public opinion. . People begin to be satisfied that
fhe greater number of the reports spread about of
late-are mere inventions. -
With respect to the tall which the public funds
have experienced tm some weeks past, it is the
tnere consequence 'of- certain speculations, an.i of
the - natural tendency of nip:lied people to alarm
themselves, and see the dark side of. all things.
- am, with the profoundest respect; Sift.,
• YOutr Imperial and Roval Majesty's most obedient,
Most devoted, and. faithful subject and- servant,

THE EMPEROR AND KING.

Sirc,—All is quiet here, and will remain so if
nothing happens to us: from without. There is
continual variation in the public funds, but con-
stant regularity in the .administration. The Pre-
fect. of the Boucbcs de la Meuse is.: indisposed ;
perhaps seriously, so. Unfortunately, he has no-
body in whom,he confides ; vtnd thus affairs will
experience sonic delay.

Paris, Sept. 29, 1813.
Monsie4lr le Duc,—l have received .your letters
of.the 21st and 23d, and to-day that whiCh your
Excellency wrote .me on the 18th has-Also come
to hand.—ln consequence of the interruption of
our comnoinieationS, I find that your Excellency
has been obliged
.to supply the dispatches by ex-
traOrdinary'means.. Every thing announces that
the eue►rry's parties are' or soon will be .dispersed,
so that correspondence resume its usual
course. - •

Meanwhile, M. lc Duc,. I am iß&nitely obliged
to von for all the intelligence \ydliell'yott have: had
the gdodnesslo send me, /-)zirtlctrfarly for your ac-
counts of the Emperor's health. 1 have already
assured yoni• Excellency that-evil- reports can only
be checked by positive information ; these re-
ports always take their rise froM commercial let-
ters.

Your Excellency informs me, in your dispatch
of the 23d, that you send M. de la Besnardierc
quadruplicate of the pieces, relative to the Au-.

striae and Swedish declarations, and this in order
'to supply the other dispatches,. which you suppose
to -be lost. In fact, the two first were actually
lost, hut the tripliCate carne safe, and was pre-
st.lted to me by M. de la Besnardiere; as I an-
nounced to you in my letter of the 221 instant.
These pieces, not being yet copied, have not been
remitted to me. Besides, I can make no use of
thew till I have have received the Emperor's or-
ders respecting the colonlillikatiOnS that ate to be
made to the Senate, and the several poiuts acces-
sary to these communications. Ou this subject
I can only trier your Excellency to the contents
a- my letters .of the :22i1 'herd 26th, and
,beg you.
will request that his_ Majesty will be pleased to
make kno,,ii to nie hiS intentions.

(Extract.)

My good Friend,—We have been much con-
cerned at hearing, of the affair of Gel'. Vandalrlitlej
hut the E'llperOr COIL sit every thing to rights—
owning can resist him. 1 have read, or rather we
have rell, your report to the Emperm , and were
much allected by it. Aly dear friend, how would
you have me rein in easy ? 1 cannot express to
yoti how min vpy i have been for some days past ;
wily, 1 know not, since I exoect,your speedy re-
Toro, anti peace ; neverthelessonany circumstances
have contributed to it. First of all, the long time
that Oapsed without bringing us any details .of the
haute; your.iilence; the privation you had sustain-
ed in consequence of Gen. Dumont's wound ; and,
,to coachide, my voyage, which made Me so
that, if it' had not been for the Minister of lei-
nant'e, who never left me, and •vho .took upon
h!.l the orders, for my dis,nuharkation, whirl] I
had not strength to do myself, and which nobody
else would have dared to eo for me, 1 verily be-
1i ve have died. Poor Mo!t..helet tell a
sacrifice to it ; -for, seeing me so weak, and hav-.
jPg been able to see neither horses nor CarriaV,
he determined to mount the hill a-forit, in the
midst, of a trenieildoLiS storm of rain; to procure
Ile some broth,: of which 1 stood greatly in nee4...
Here the poor fellow got a deflexion of the chest,
followed by a put.-in malignant fever, and in short':
was carried-off by it in two days, before one knew,
as it were, that he was ill. This has agitated me ;
he had been so long attached' to our service, and
was so distinguished for his zeal and fidelity, that
I coUld not preserve myselfifrom a certain impres-
sion of melancholy. I have alinost regretted ,tlki.s:.
unhappy voyage, which for this week past has
constituted all the happiness of the-Princes and
Princesses. The Prince Royal set off the day he-
fore yesterday to make the circuit of the Bay, on
board the same vessel: he returned quite en-
chanted. The Princesses are to go tO4norrow,
and promise themselves the same pleasure, with
Lucien for their beau.

I don't, know whether you receive my letters,
but I write to you very often. Every thing is
perfe:tly calm and tranquil, and I hope you will
he su too. Nry health is not very ha:: that of
your children is excellent. I have recommended
Campomelle to send you every thiog you may
stand in need of. I hope he will do so, and that
you will ;want for nothing. 1 have ordered hint
to send you some woollen hosiery, which will be
very comfortable to you in travelling.
.1 send
you (also General Puniont's,sword. Anien,
friend ; .take care of yourself, 1 beg you, anti
think of us.

I embrace you as I love you,
CAROLINE.

I forgot to speak to you of a circumstance
which has produced a rather singular effect.
Your courier arrived at the moment I going
on board the vessel ;. as chance 'would have it, I
wet and spoke to him myself. I asked him whether
he had any other letters : he told Me no ;
.so that I
told the.ministers, who came, for .my orders, that
you had not written to any of them. The next
mornint they brouglit me their letters, saying
that the courier bad deceived tne. They thought
I ought. to punish ilitn for having lied to toy
face. lam well convinced that this order could
never stave proceeded from von ; but 1 could
not refrain front mentioning it. to you, in order
that' you may find out -who, of your Secretaries,
can have issued so impertinent a mandate. , For,
my good friend, it is of the utmost importhpee to
knoW every thing that is written, and, since you
cannot take the trouble, I must. Fur instance,
:Julian said that they had taken so many coldurs,
so many pieces of connon,'so.many prisoners; and
he did nut make thein amount to the quarter
part of what you told me, so that next day,
when they read the Moniteter, they fal-sified, by
Julian's letters, what I had caused to be in •
soled in it .aecording to your's. This has
a bad effect, and destroys confidence. If these
gentlemen chObse to announce victories, let
them—nothing better—hut let them not give me
details ; let them not specifyinunbers either for
more or less, so as to contradict those which, I
receive from you. Look to this.• I have not been
angry at it ; because I ant very sure that this
courier has acted from no instruction of vour's.—
But it is more irnportant than you Indy suppose
pay attention to it.
