• MADRID, SEPT. 6.—The following is an ex-.
tract of a letter from the ,Duke of St. Simon,
Grandee of Spain, to Vice-Admiral Vautras, Coin-
wander of the Royal and Military Order of St.
Louis. The Duke after mentioning the ilattering
manner. in which he and his daughter had been
received by the King of Spain, proceeds as
follows :
" Our happiness is still farther augmented by
tbarTitthe - public, and by the spectacle dully
presented to us of the love and enthusiasm
of the Spaniards for Ferdinand VII. The
greatest tranquillity prevails in , this capital and '
thronghont all Spain. Give no credit to the
stories fabricated at Paris, some of which reach us.
This country is advancing by rapid and certain
strides towards the greatest prosperity. The pil-
la,ge and devastation to which it has been a prey
ior several years 'may retard the public felicity in
parts; but nothing can prevent it. - All'ob-
-stacks be surmounted by the virtues of_Fer-
dinand and the energetic character of,the Spanish
nation ;" it has always renra,ined fhe same; it is
impossible to observe in tbeirmanners, customs,
and usages, the least trace of the residence of
stromgers ; there is nothing English about them, '
nothing German, nothing-French; the Spaniards ,
are now what they were 20 years, or even a cen-
.thry ago. Never was Spanish gi avity more dig-
nified or More lofty : this is a superb and adtnir-
tible nation."

TURI SEPT. 10 —Our King, in restoring► re-
ligion to all-its, lustre, and die excellent laws of

the old constitution,• with certain modifications
dictated by circumstances, has also called to int-
. portant - judicial- and administrative functions a
number of subjects, formerly employed by the
French Government. No one has been disturbed
in any way.. The taxes have been reduced, and
the army is forming with activity. The gen-
d'armerie have also Ween kept up and improved
and the country enjoys the greatest, ti
notwithstanding the absurd'reports that have been
circulated of pretended assemblages of brigands.

labourer, haying gone down into a well for the

yards deep. In expectation that he 'was suffocated,.
no active and continued endeavours were made

but slowly, until Wednescray, when some experi-
enced colliers came from Chili, and worked till
night.• On Thursclay-mOrninz,abont'ten o'clock,

man's face, and to admil;ister, under ti Stag o
direction, a small quantity of warn] water-gruel :
init. it was notlill\ abont three o'clock on iday
that they could clear all the rubbisif from about
his head ; nor until the poor, man had expired
about half an hour ; so that twelve hours had
elapsed from the time that, they gave food to the
unfortunate sufferer before they could clear -the
'rubbish from his hcad.
