The Sieur Ouvrard, who has sought in vain for
contractors to u loan of which no one has yet
become the dupe, has to-day invented a new way
of appealing to the credulity of the public. He
has axed a day, 'after which, he says, no
further subscription will be received. This

Majesty the King of Sadin;a, having himself pointed out the
time which he thought proper for .tie successive departure of the
auxiliary troops, the allied Sovereigna.havw acceded to his pro-
posals, and it has been deter Tined by a new convention,
that the departure of these troops from Piedmont shall com-
mence on the 31st of December, this year, and be completed
on the 30th of September, 1823, by the evacuation of the for-
tress of Alessandria.

'• His Majesty the King of the Two Sicilies has also
signified to the three Courts, parties to the convention signed
at Naples on the 18th of October, that the present state of his
dominions allowed him to propose a reduction of the num-
ber of the auxiliary troops stationed in various parts of them.
" The allied Sovereigns have not hesitated to accede to this
proposal, and the auxiliary army stationed In the kingdom of

Justify their separation by the v cry same maxims on which the
mother country has fort nded its public law, and which it would
willingly, but in vain, condemn in another hemisphere ; thelast
resources of the State consumed by civil war;--this is the
picture which the present state of Spain presents-4uch are the
evils by which a generous people, deserving of a better fate, is
visited—su eh, in fine, are thegrounds of the just apprehensions
which such an assemblage of the elements of trouble and confu-
sion must excite in the countries more nearly in contact with the
Peninsula. If ever in the bosom of civilization a power arose,
hostilely alienated from the principles of preservation, from the
principles in which the European Confederation reposes, such
a power is Spain, in its present state of disorganization.
Could the Sovereigns have contemplated with indifference
so many evils heaped upon one country, accompanied with so
many dangers to others ? Depending on this important atihir
only on their own judgment and their own consciences, they
have been obliged to ask themselves whether they were longer
allowed to remain calm spectators of an evil which every day
threatens to become inure terrible' and dangerous, and even
by the presence of their representatives, to lend the false
colouring of a tacit sanction to the measures of a faction
which is ready to undertake every thing for the maintenance
of its destructive sway: The decision of the Monarchs could
not be doubtful. Their legations have 'received orders to quit
the Peninsula.
" Whatever may be the consequences of this step, the Mo-
narchs thereby prove to Europe that nothing can induce them
to waver in a resolution which their most intimate conviction
has approved. The more sincere the friendship which they
feel towards his Majesty the King of Spain, the more lively
their interest in the welfare of a nation- which has distinguish-
ed itself by so many virtues' at all periods of its history, the
more strongly have they felt the, necessity of adopting the
measures on which they have decided, and which they shall
know how to maintain.
" The preceding view will give you the conviction that the
Monarchs in their last negociations have not departed from the
Principles to which they have remained unalterably faithful,
in all the great questions relative to order and stability, to
which the events of our times have given such great importance.
Their union, essentially Munded on these principles, fostering
its early character, obtains from one period to another more so-
lidity and energy. It would be superfluous further to defend
their upright and benevolent intentions against unworthy
calumnies, which are daily refuted by notorious facts.—All
Europe must at length acknowledge that the system pur.
sued by the Monarchs is in the most perfect harmony with
the well understood interests of the people, as well as with the
independence and strength of the Governments. They re-
cognize no enemies but those who conspire against the legal
authority of the one, and the simplicity ot the others, to plunge
both into one common abyss of destruction. The wishes of
the Monarchs are directed to peace alone ; but this peace,
though fully established between the powers, cannot diffuse
its blessings on society, as long as the fermentation is kept
up, which in more than one country inflames people's minds
by the perfidious intrigue, and the cri:ninal efforts of a
faction which, idols only at revolution and destruction ; so long
as the heads and instruments of this faction (whether they open-
ly take the field against thrones and existing institutions, or
whet er they brood on their hostile plans in the dark, preparing
riots, and poisoning public opinion) shall not cease to torment
the nations with discouraging and lying representations of the
pre ens, and fictitious apprehensions of the future. The wisest
measures of the Govornments cannot prosper, the best meant
plans of improvement cannot succeed, confidence cannot return,
till those promoters of the most odious purposes shall have Sunk
into utter impotency • and the Monarchs will not believe that
they have accomplished their great work, till they shall have
deprived them of the arms with which they may threaten the
repose of the world.
" In communicating to. the Cabinet to which you are accre.
diced, the facts and declarations which are contained in the
present document, you will at the same time call to mind what
the Monarchs consider as the indispensable condition of the
fulfilment of their benevolent wishes. To insure to Europe
not only the peace which it enjoys under the protection of trea-
ties, het also that sense of internal repose and durable security
without which no 'real happiness can exist for nations, they
must calculate on the faithful and persevering co-operation of
all the Governments. They here call on theta for this co-ope-
ration in the name of their own highest interests, in the name
of social order, the preservation of which is at stake, in the
name of future generations. May they be all penetrated with
the great truth, that the power confided to their hands is a
sacred trust, for which they are accountable to the people and
to their posterity ; and that they expose themselves to a serious
responsibility, when they fall into errors, or listen to counsels,
Winch would sooner or later deprive them of the possibility of
protecting their subjects from the ruin which they had them-
s Ives prepared for them, The Monarchs confidently hope,
that they shall every where find true allies in those who are in-
vested with the supreme authority, under whatever form it
may be—allies, who do homage not merely to the letter and
the positive precepts of the conventions which form the basis of
the present European system, hut also to their spirit and prin.
ciples ; and they flatter themselves that the words here spoken
will be received is a new confirmation of their firm and unal-
terable resolution to consecrate all the means intrusted to thetn
by Providence to promote the welfare of Europe."

MADIUD, DEC.
V.—The following is the
Royal Ordinance Limited by the King, and dated
the 20th of December, and which Las spread an
alarm through the whole Peninsula :

THE MINISTER OF TILE INTERIOR, TO THE POLITICAL
ctmrs OF THE PROVINCES.
" The English Government having claimed an indemnity for
various captures made front the merchants of that nation from
the year MN up to the present time, and also for various other
damage occasioned to English property, assigning for this deci-
sion a space of time during which it is impossible for the King
to come Li) any resolution ; therefore, till this can be effecta,
which will be done us soon as possible, to avoid the injury
which Would result to the property of the Spanish merchants,
the King commands .me to declare to the Consulate, that
thtre have sailed from the ports of England various ships of
war for Terra Firma and Porto Rico, with orders to detain
Spanish vessels to the amount of the debt which the English
Government Majesty hopes to terminate amicably
and with justice un affair so nearly affecting the interests of the
subjects Lf both nations. This important notice is given to
prevent the injury which may accrue in the interval which must
necessarily elapse. You will acquaint the-Consulates in your
province of this present notice.
" 11ladrid, Doc. 20. (Signed) GASCO."
A similar circular has been sent to the Consulates of the
colonies.
