►ve have received by Express the Ettlie of
yesterday, and the Journal dcs DObats of Satur-

( From the .Etoile of yesterday.)
COURT NEWS, JAN. 3.

His Majesty heard mass in his apartments.--
The King received in his Saloon the Deputation
of the Royal Court and the Civil Tribunal of
Paris, as well as the Central Consistoire of the
Israelites.

By a Decree of King Ferdinand VII., M.
Paez of Cadena has been appointed Minister
from Spain to London, and M. Eredia is charged
with the liquidation of the British Claims ; M.
Anduaga, Minister to Berlin ; J. Acosta, Minis.
ter to Dresden ; and Navia, Charge d'Affaires to
Holland.

MADRID, DEC. 24.—We expect that Baron
Eroles will soon arrive in this capital. • There
sometimes happens in this capital, little differences
with The old Constitutional Militia. They are
repairing the barracks where the French troop;
have been lodged. The King has given positive
orders for the organization of the Royal Guard.
These will be the troops first regulated : they n i
he composed of 8000 men Spanish, ,and,.406.44
Swiss. The greatest tranquillity reigns at Madrid.
BAYONNE, DEC. 26.---'l'o-day arrived in our
town the 30th regiment of the line, and the 4th
and sth regiments of Hussars. Marshal Molitor is
at Saragossa, from whence he will set off in a few
days for France. The information from Bilboa
states, that they haVe arrested since the event of
the 14th, a few individuals ‘rho wanted to trouble
the peace which the inhabitants enjoy.
PARIS, JAN. 3.—The English Papers are full
of commentaries on the Message of the President,
of the United States. Eazh of them speaks ac-
cording to its politics ; but this long declaration
scarce pleases any person, and has not oven
escaped censure on the part of the American
Papers.
z.

According to the political system that Mr.
Monroe would adopt, it will not he permitted to

Spain to make the least efforts to regain the pos.
sessions which belonged to her for three cen.

turies.

(From the Journal des DOats of Jan. 3.)

MADRID.—The King has appointed General
Don Raphael Morant, Contador, General-in-
Chief, of South America, with the title of Minis-
ter.of the Supreme Council of the Inches.
The follooing is the current report which
prevails :—lt.is pretended that the Minister does
not find support in the Council of State for any
of his projects, amongst which is the removing
of the Custom-houses to the frontiers ; and it is
also asserted that the Minister is to be changed.
It is said that the Royal Loan is about to be
taken by some foreign houses, guaranteed by our
Clergy.

We have received the Paris Journals of Thurs-
day and Friday. They contain an Ordinance,
appointing the Count de VILLELR Knight Com-
mander of the Royal Orders. The Journals of
Friday are chiefly occupied with addresses of
congratulation to the King and Royal Family by
different public bodies. According to a letter
from Madrid, FERDINAND has ordered the Di.
rectors of the Public Credit to desist from re-
coveries on the property of the Jesuits, of which
they have the temporary administration, and
which is to be restored to that society. On
Tuesday M. Pozzo DI Bottoo, accompanied by
all the Members of the Russian Embassy, de-
livered to the Duke of ANDOULEIIS the order
of St. George of the first class. The Journal
des Debats contains the following article :

MADRI D, DEC. 23.
CIRCULAR OF THE FINANCE. MINISTER.

" I have written to the Intendant of Zamora,
under date of the Ist of December, the follow-
ing letter :
"' I have submitted to the King, my Master, your Excel-
lency's Report on the open refusal of the Municipality of Za-
mora to furnish rations to the auxiliary troops. His Majesty,
after taking cognizance of this fact, has resolved that, in con-
formity with the decision of the Regency of the kingdom, dated
July 19, the said municipality, and every other in the king-
dom, are to furnish rations to the French troops, wherever they
may be, in preference even to the Spanish troops. Besides,
independently of what is expressed in this resolution on the
means of reimbursement, it is shocking that troops, who left
their own country to come here and deliver his Majesty and his
people from a civil war should not receive what they legiti-
mately demand. By his Majesty's command I transmit you
the resolution, in order that you may cause it to be published."

The intelligence from Spain, whether coming
through the medium of Paris or of Bayonne, con-
tinues to represent the Spanish Government as
exhibiting- a remarkable inactivity in its conduct.
According to the writer of the article from Bay-
onne, given above, " the public appear to be
sunk in a mine of apathy, which comes from the
dilatoriness of the Government in not doing
any thing to consolidate the affairs of the
state, which it seems to abandon to the care
of Providence !" The Indicateur of Bourdeaux,
also, which is now before us, states that its
advises from Madrid concur in representing
the p6verty, inactivity, and helplessness of
the Spanish Government. These statements,
al our Readers will observe, strongly corroborate
the information received by us in the course of
last week, with regard to the relaxation which
had been observed in the efforts for completing
the intended expeditions to South America,
and induce us to hope with increased confi-
dence that the project of attempting the re-
conquest of the new Trans-Atlantic States has
been relinquished as impracticable.

The Auatrian Obser:,er contains extracts of
(lispatches from Constantinople, dated the 25th
November, which announce that the CAPTAIN
PleuA has re-entered the Dardanelles with the
greater part of his fleet, and that such of his
ships as have been the most injured have gone up
to the
Port of Constantinople. A division, re-
inforced by the Algerine and Egyptian squad-
rons, was, however, to continue cruizing in the
Archipelago, but it had not yet been seen.
rr he naval campaign is acknowledged to have
hal no beneficial results for the Porte; but the
Turks congratulate themselves that it has been
less disastrous than those which preceded it. 1 f
time Ifydriote flotilla should arrive in time, and
in sufficient force to disperse the Turkish ships
stationed at the entrance of the Gulf of Le-
Panto, it was expected that the PIMA of
Scutari would be compelled to abandon the
blockade of Missolonghi.

" Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at
872 Land soon after got up to with
a good Market, although little business doing.—
Several Espressos arrived this morning from
Paris, bringing the French Rentes at 93f. 90c.
after 'Change ; previously they were at 93. 50.
Spanish '27.-1 do not hear of any information
frnm'the above Capital, except that the affairs of
Spain are in a deplorable state.
FOREIGN MARKET.—:-.3paciish Bonds opened at
andgot up to 26, at which price they re-

main steady. The New Austrian Bonds are still
in great request at 4i to 5 premium.--Colom-
bian and Chilian are also sought after. •

SUN-OFFICE, Half-past Two o'Ciock.

We have been favoured with the following ex-
tract of a letter received this morn'ing by a party
of the very highest respectability in the Cit/ of
London :

" HAVANNAII,Nov. 24, 1813.—Sitice my
last I have received a Copy of the Declaration
of War by the Mexican Government against
Spain and her dependencies. In consequence of
this declaration, all the trade to the Mexican
Empire is now carried on under the American and
British flags. The Loan which the Mexicans have
negotiated with Mr. RI CHARDS for 20,000,000,
has enabled them to take this stand, and it will
enable him to get a good premium upon his bills,
as the sequestration of Spanish property will
prevent the Spaniards from getting out their
funds in dollars without exposure to seizure.—
R. will be reimbursed from the Custom-house,
by receiving one half the amount of duty upon
importations. Two cargoes (American) have
lately been wrecked upon the bar of Alverado,
which cost upwards of 400,000 dollars. No
news has, yet ',been received of the squadron
which sailed hence on the 30th ult. for Alverado.
The British brig of war B , Captain SMITH,
has arrived here from Tampico with near
1,000,000 of dollars. Our produce is upon the
decline."

We are happy to see from the Glasgow papers
that the LORD PROVOST, in compliance with
respectable requisition, has appointed a public
Meeting in Glasgow, on Wednesday next, for
the purpose of originating a subscriptio❑ in that
opulent city for the relief of the Spanish Refu-
gees, who have sought an asylum in ►his country.

THE POPE.—ROME, DEC. 21, 1823.—(Ex-
tract of a Private Letter.)—During the night of
the 23d, the Pore suffered so much pain, that
when his attendants entered his apartments, they
found his Holiness quite insensible. lie had
confessed the preceding evening, and had desired
to receive the Sacrament on the following morn-
ing. In the night violent convulsions reduced
him to the last extremity. His Holiness is a
little better this evening ; his voice is stronger,
and he has taken a little jelly and soup• He is
by no means out of danger, though certainly
better. A few days ago he observed to Cardinal
Odelscochi, on his departure for Ferrara," When
you return, you will find a new Conclave as-
sembled."

NUREMBERG, DEC. 23.—An important note is
spoken of as having been delivered by Sir C.
BACOT, British Minister at Petersburgh, to the
Minister of State, Count de NESSELRODE, in
which he demands, in the name of the Govern-
me►►t, explanations as to the policy which the
Russian Government would think its duty to
adopt respecting the Spanish Colonies who have
shaken off the yoke of the ►mother country. It is
this news which has given rise to the report which
has been rapidly propagated, that a Russian
squadron would enter the Mediterranean next
spring to repair thence to an ulterior destination.

FRANKFORT, DEG. 26.—The SpeciatettrOrientai
of Nov. 15, has the following news :

" A Hydriot flotilla took advantage of the removal of the
Captain Paella's squadron to seize 5 Turkish merchant vessels,
4 of them small brigs, and one a corvette, laden with different
property, which the Paella of Salonica, had sent to the Captain
Pacha, not expecting that a hurricane would have obliged the
latter suddenly to quit his station. The islanders took three of
them to Tino, and two to Syra, when they landed from the
corvette some families of Greek slaves who had been destined
for Constantinople. The corvette is a handsome English vessel,
which had been purchased by the Pacha of Salonica."

We have before us a letter from a Gentleman
in Jamaica, a Member of the Assembly, which states that the
slaves in Jamaica hail as yet evinced no bad disposition,
though what had passed in the mother country was perfect_it, and
known to them all. They conversed freely about and
several of the more intelligent made inquiries at the white
people about the truth of the reports, and expressed their
astonishment that such measures should be agitated, and
recommended in Great Britain, as these, if carried into
effect, would be ruin to them all. They unequivocally de-
clare that they would rather remain as they are, convinced
that their situation and condition are much better than they
would then be. One-half of the number they assert would
certainly not work, and consequently that portion must,
they say, live by robbing, plundering, and murdering the
more wealthy and industrious. These negroes are right.
They have more sense than Buxton and his Abolition Com-
mittee.—What has taken place will, we hope, teach the
colonists to be on their guard, and never again to allow the ca-
lumnies of their enemies to go abroad uncontradicted. They
might, and they must, make it their business in future, to get
out the scandalous publications circulated against them, and
seeing what they are, officially, and in a body, refute and repel
them by all the means that the press of Britain can put into
their hands.—(Glaegow Courier, Jan. I.)

The Duke of YORK arrived on Saturday at
Belvoir Castle, on a visit to the Duke of RUT.

BRIGHTON, JANUARY 2.
The splendid Ball at the Pavilion, was continued till after 3
o'clock this morning. At 11 o'clock the juvenile party of the
brilliant and happy throng, about one hundred in number,
took their seats at the supper table, in the drawing-room, to
the right of the rotunda, or principal saloon. A picture more
animated and cheerful than they presented, is scarcely possible
to he imagined. The Sovereign, in the happiest state of health
and spirits, seemed delighted with the cheerful faces that every
where sought and met his welcome gaze. The Grand Musicroom
was used as a Ball-room, on this resplendent occasion. The
Dancers were numerous. In a waltz, the Duchess of Clarence
honoured the Russian Ambassador with her hand. The Royal
Duke did notdance. The young folks, before supper, were gen eral-
ly on the light fantastic toe. From the onset to the close of the
entertainment, never did the votaries of Terpsichore, appearmore
interesting and graceful, nor more to enjoy the irfavourite exer-
cise. The Duke and Duchess of Clarence, accompanied by the
Earl and Countess of Errol, returned to Bushy Park this day.
The Duke of Dorset, the Marquis of Exeter, Lord and Lady
Granville, and Lord and Lady Maryborough, were also in the
Palace departure list of this morning. The Russian Ambas-
sador (who dined with the King yesterday) left the Royal York
Hotel this morning for town. He will be followed by the Por-
tuguese Ambassador, Count Villa Real, to-morrow.
