COURT CIRCULAR.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

WINDSOR, FRIDAY.—Her Majesty rode in the Park this
afternoon on° horseback, attended by the Baroness Lehzen,
the Marquis.Conyngham, Lord Fingal], Sir Henry Wheatley,
the Hon. W. Cowper, Viscount Melbourne, Colonel Wenlyis,
the Hon.:C. A. Murray, and the Hon. Colonel and Miss Ca
vendish.

FRANCE.

The Cour rier Francais says very justly that Switzer-
land will find herself strangely mistaken if she considers
herself exempt from all future interference and intrigue by
the manner in which she has smoothed her difficulties with
France. This print remarks upon the contradiction which
Prince Metternich's present interference, for the purpose of
excluding some supposed republican refugees from the Hel-
vetic territory, offers to the amnesty published on the occa-
sion of the coronation at Milan, and, arguing from this
contradiction, the French journalist appears disposed to
advert again to the rumour which existed when this act of
grace was promulgated—namely, that Count Colourat, and
not Metternich, was the author of it. The matter, how-
ever, must for the present remain in abeyance, for so long as
no overt act is committed by Austria, or afforded an excuse
for by Switzerland, it is not to be supposed that M. de
Bombelles would wantonly offer any interruption to the re-
lations which at present exist between the two States.
The Journal des Debats attaches great importance to
this dispatch of Prince Metternich and Messrs. Amrhyn's
circular, and, as far as can be argued from the.little that
the Ministerial writer ventures to say, the advanced step of
the Austrian Envoy is somewhat grateful to the feelings of
the French Government.

Lord and Lady Lansdowne took their departure for their
seat at Bowood Park, Wilts.
Lord Holland left for town.

The Royal dinner party this evening will include the fol.
loving personages :—Her Royal Highness the Duchess of
Kent, Baroness Lehzen, Lady Theresa D!gby, Lady Mary
Stopford, Lady Barham, the Hon. Miss Cocks, the Hon. Miss
Cavendish, Viscount Melbourne, the Marquis Conyngham,
the Hon. Wm. Cowper, the Hon. C. A. Murray, and the
Hon. Colonel Cavendish.

The Duke of Cambridge, accompanied by Prince Edward
of Saxe Weimar, and attended by Colonel Jones, came to
town yesterday morning. His Royal Highness and Prince
Edward left Cambridge House in the afternoon, for Kew.
The French Ambassador, the Prussian, Belgian, and Spa.
nish Ministers; and Count Senfft, Minister from Austria,
transacted business yesterday at the Foreign Office.
Despatches were forwarded yesterday from Downing_
street for Lord Melbourne at Windsor.

Despatches were forwarded yesterday from Downing-street,
for Lord Glenelg at Leamington.
The Russian and Hanoverian Ambassadors transacted busi-
ness ycs erc'ay at the Foreign Office.
Despatches were forwarded yesterday from the Foreign
Department for Lord Ponsonby, the British Ambassador at
Constantinople • and for the English Charges d'Affaires at
the Courts of Persia and St. Petersburgli.
Despatches were forwarded yesterday from the India Board
for Lord Auckland, the Governor-General of India ; and for
the Officers administering her Majesty's Government at
Madras and Bombay.

A dispute yesterday took place in the garden of the
Tuileries between Mr. Somers, M.P. for Sligo, and Mr.
Beaumont, late M.P., which ended for the time in the
hearty reciprocal application of the canes of those Hon.
Gentlemen to each other's heads and shoulders. It is said
that they are gone out to close the transaction with pistols.
An atrocious murder was committed here last night. A
gentleman (said to be a foreigner and in liquor) stopped
for some purpose at the iron railing that separates the
terrace of the garden of the Tuileries from the Rue
de Rivoli. He was ordered by one of the sentinels to
v.ithdraw (au large), but I suppose refused, and was there-
upon shot dead. _

DespatChes were forwarded yesterday from the Foreign
Department for the British Ministers at Berlin and Vienna.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

According to a letter of the 10th inst., from Toulon,
published in the Courrier Francais, the brig Cygne, which
had been forced to return for repairs, had again sailed for
Mexico, where she had been preceded by the Sylphe.
The Cerf brig was preparing to sail for the same destina-
tion., This reinforcement to Admiral Baudin's squadron
was thought calculated to render the blockade more com-
pact, rather than to enable him to attempt an attack.
Preparations were being made for sending vessels of greater
force to Mexico, and it was supposed that the order for
victualling the ontebello was given in consequence of a
design to form a fleet capable, not only of obtaining satis-
faction from the Mexicans, but of keeping up a respectable
position with regard to the English. The Marengo and
the Alger, which were to be armed, were supposed to be
likewise destined for the Gulf of Mexico. The Iris schooner
hai arrived from Algiers, which she quitted on the sth.
Marshal Valee had returned, and bad forwarded de-
spatches to the Government by the L is. They were sent
on to Paris by estafette.

SPAIN.

MADRID, Nov. B.—The much dreaded day of the open-
ing of the Cortes, for which armies of reserve, horse and
foot, had been detained from their proper destination, passed
off without the slightest disposition being evinced to dis-
turb the peace of the city. Amongst the thousands, for the
concourse was numerous, who assembled to witness the
passage of the royal precession to the saloon of the
Congress, not a voice, not a hand was raised in disapproba.
tion of either the Queen or her Majesty's Ministr rs. But
if the royal party and the Government experienced neither
groans not insults, neither were they received with vices
or other expressions-of cordial or enthusiastic feeling. A
cold, contemplative, but respectful demeanour was
observed by the guards and the people as their
Majesties passed along, a thousand times more significant
than the hisses of a rabble or a mob. The Queen
Regent, the victim of popular alienation through the
vices and errors of her advisers, seemed obviously to
feel her altered position, and to wear in her counte-
nance the visible marks of sorrow and suffering. I never
saw her look so ill on any of the nunierous occasions which
I had to observe her in public. Within the walls of the
Cortes a similar absence of all enthusiasm was to be re-
marked, and, with the exception of the cold and subdued
expression of compliment which the people of Spain almost
never refuse to royalty, not an indication of feeling was to
be witnessed in the Chamber. The house, which is small,
was as usual crowded to excess. In the diplomatic box
I observed our able and worthy minister, Sir George
Villiers, who his friends were happy to see much renovated
in health since his last appearance in the same place. The
Duke de Ferensac, French Minister, and the other diplo-
matic gentlemen now resident in Madrid, were also present.
Her Majesty, the Queen Regent, having led her infant
daughter to the throne, and taken her seat with her Mi-
nisters placed on either hand of her, read the speech which
I subjoin. Having concluded the delivery of the Royal
Speech, her Majesty descended from the throne, and pro-
ceeeded to the Palace by the same route, and mitt)
the same circumstances as she left it. It was
three o'clock when the ceremony concluded, and,
as I have stated before, without any demonstration other
than I have described. Her Majesty the Queen Regent
was dressed in the State costume of the Court of Madrid,
scarlet robes trimmed with gold, and wore a profusion of
brilliants about her person. Her daughter, the Queen
Isabel, was dressed in white satin, and appears to be
hastening fast to maturity, considering her very young age,
The cortege was sufficiently brilliant, particularly the
Royal carriage drawn by six white and beautiful horses,
with light blue plumes gaily waving in their heads. It
comprised, however, fewer vehicles than I have observed
on other occasions.
On the contents of the speech I leave you to make
such reflections as it may call forth ; and will only
point out to your notice the marked and just acknow-
ledgments paid to your foreign policy, in alluding to the
recognition of Isabel 11. by the Sublime Porte. I may
also allude to perhaps the most important paragraph
;n the discourse—I mean that which announces that the
Queen has given instructions to her representatives at the
Courts of her allies to demand a formal mediation against
the breach of the rights of nations, committed by the
Northern Powers in clandestinely aiding the cause of the
Pretender to the crown of Spain. It is very possible that
this idea may have been suggested to her Majesty by the
reports (of the truth of which her Government entertains
no doubt) that the passport of the Princes? of Beira was
signed by the Ambassador of one of her Majesty's allies at
Vienna. The Duke of Fries deserves some credit for so
sly a hit at his friends His little Excellency, no doubt,
intended to include France among the Northern Powers of
whom he speaks in the Royal speech.
You will also find the press and the national militia re-
ferred to in the document, and in somewhat ambiguous
terms, which only the more fully, to use an Irish bull, ex-
plains their meaning. I told you, indeed, many weeks ago,
that the Press, the Constitution, and the National Guards
—the fundamental elements of liberty in Spain, if properly
directed—were 'not very safe in the keeping of the Mode-
rados. The allusions to the Press and National Militia are
but the Ministerial sentiments I admonished you of
squeezed down to the smallest possible compass by the
pressure of late events and existing feelings in the capital.
If circumstances, indeed, which it is unnecessary to enu-
merate, had not narrowed the arena of attack, you would
have seen how a Moderado Cabinet would have wielded
the sword of destruction against all the Liberal institutions
of the country. It is pleasant to see the hands of this mis-
chievous, but very hypocritical, party tied up by the good
conduct and sound opinions of the people.
With the exception of the event which I have just de-
scribed, there is little here this evening upon which to fix
your attention. No correct idea can be yet formed of the
course which the deputies will pursue until a few days
shall have expired. Neither is there anything definitely
known, nor perhaps yet determined upon, with respect to
the time of the formation or of the material of which the
new Cabinet is to be,formed, beyond what I stated to you
in my letter of yesterday. While I confidently announce
the general conviction of the necessity of the nomination of
a Liberal Cabinet, and the impossibility of continuing much
longer without producing an open collision of parties, I am
far from thinking that the withered arm of Carlism, which,
aided by certain foreign influence, contrived so long to mis-
direct in secresy the energies of the country, is yet entirely
powerless, or that farther attempts will be made to perpe-
tuate its malign influence. But I doubt if it can prolong
much farther its power over the destinies of Spain, seeing,
as I daily do here, that the eyes of the people are opened
at length to the deception practised on them.
Some further arrests have been made here since I wrote
last, amongst them the leaders of the few hot-headed Exal-;
tados, who were incautiously caught in the snare of the
planners of the disturbance on Saturday night last. The
ultra-Moderato party evince the utmost soreness at the
arrests of the Carlists, and the exercise of the estado de sitio
by the Captain-General and the civic authorities of Madrid

Another of the winter series of masquerades is to
take place at the Lowther Rooms on Monday, under the su-
perintendence of Mr. Blake.

There is not the slightest foundation for a paragraph
