PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

PARIS, OCT. positively asserted that
Count de Blacas; -Ambassador at Rome, arid who
has concluded the new Concordat with the Holy
See, has just been recalled ; and that he i* to be
succeeded by M.. le Comte Bettgrrot. This last
was Minister of
:Marine in IS t5l, at the time of
Buonaparte's return from the Isle of Elba. .It is
said, that the Count de Blacas has been appointed
to another embassy ; and that he will nor return
to rake his post near the King, as Grand Master
of the Wardrobe•

The Duchess of Berry is near two months gone
with child.

I think that the 13ourdeaux Letter, inserteil in
the Alg,e»zeine Zeitttng. of October 4, and %%Well I
herewith send yon, deserves attention :

" BOURDEAU X, SFr-I%i 14.

'' Om._ intercourse with the .Spanish ports is
becoming more extensive, and is promoted by both
Governments. For some mouths past. the trade
of this town with Spain hasbeen evidently favoured
by the Court of Spain, and the impediments which
formerly existed are removed. This is entirely
ascribed to
,thr relation, subsisting betweet.4 our
Court anti that of Madrid, • which are at pieserit on a
most fricnOly footing. On the other hand, it may
also be owing to the wish of the present Spanish
Minister to make the trade Of his country flourish,
and his consequent endeavours to rescue troth it the
chains in which it has hitherto been held by Eng-
land. It is regarded-here as a certain tact, that
the spirit on which the -connexion between Eng-
land and Spain depended is daily becoming more
cool; and that the Spanish Government,being con-
vinced of the injurious consequences of favouring
the English commercial system, now seeks rather
to attach itself to the Continental System. The
Court of Madrid is., above all things, desirottS to
recover the American Colonies and put an end to
the insurrection : the Insurgents are, however,
openly favoured by North America, and secretly
by England. Spain, therefore, considers only
those Powers her real ft ienda who have no inte-
rest in seeing tree States established in South
America, which is the case with respect to the
European continental Powers. On "hi" account
she has approximated herself to Russia, has con-
solidated her 'relations %yid) France, and has as
much as possible detached herself front England.
It is not, however, bel.eved that it is yet intend-
ed • to give an • active support to Spe.in by
sending French and Russian fleets to the colo-
nies ; at least not the slightest appearance of such
a design can be perceived here. Besides, it is
confirmed by letters received from Martinique and
Guadeloupe, that the Spanish troops in Venezuela
and Caraccas have lately obtained important ad-
vantages, and that the affairs of the Insurgents
are.there in a very bad state, as they have long
been in Mexico. Buenos-Ayres and Chili are the
only quarters in which the Insurgents have supe-
riority, and whera they are likely to retain it, If
cons.iderable einforcements- do not reaelt-.the
ft'is true, that Snialibodiei Of ti',4's
are occasionally sent front Cadiz to the Colonies,
but their 'force is upon the whole very insi;,nifi-
cant.. The -great expedition, of which so mirth
has for a long- time been said, is still far 'from be-
rg ready to sail."

Yestettlay; about half-past one o'clock, a poor
boy, between.) I and 13 years of age, was found
by some carters at the top of a brick-kiln, itearthe
road between Islington and Newington, appa-
rently dead, frciru the effects of suffocation. lie
WB9 taken down and carried to the next public-
house in Islington, and the parish surgeon being
called in, on ibspiction of the body, said that life
was perfectly extinct, and that iron) appearances
he must have:been dead some hours. It appeared
from there being some raw potatoes and.akipa
near the body, that the boy had been gaiftering
the former in a neighbouring field, and went to
the top of the kiln to roast thew, and was soffo,
cated by the snmke. He was the son of two poor
labouring people, residing near the place, and had
been missing' since nine o'clock in the tucruing.
