FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 24,

Hi

FROM THE MAPRID GAZETTE.
" On the 224 and 23d of July, King Joscrit re-
ceived the Chiefs of the p'ala'ce, the Grandees of
_ _

Spain; the... Presidents and Governors of the Council,
and parsons of every class, who had the honour to
present themselves to him.. He in, like mariner re.
ceived the French and Spanish Generals and Officers.
He spoke in so condescending a manner, as to gain
the affections of all who approached him. He after-
wards read the dispatches of his Ministers, and gave
audience on state Affairs. The proclamation of his
Molest'', in the noble and. crowded city of Madrid,
and in the city of Toledo, was to take place on the
25th- July ; and the ceremony was afterwards to be
performed in the other towns of the kingdom,. Reli-
gious ceremonies were to follow.; illuminations for
three nights were ordered on -the public entry. The
Royal Council of Castile had ordered the new Con-
stitut;on to be circulated through the country, recom-
mending it to general adoption, with a panegyric on
the moderation of the New KMI:, who had waved
his universal right over the public revenues; by making
the distinction between the revenue of the Crown and
the revenue of the State.
" On the '24th similar audiences were given. The
Supreme Council of the Indies took the constitutional
oath of fidelity ; and the President of that Council,
the Marquis of BAJAHAR, pronounced an elegant ,
harangue on the occasion, adverting Co the indubitable
signs of affection which the whole nation sheaved for
his Majesty's perion. He enlarged on the advantages
that Spain enjoyed by the accession of the new So--
vereign, in preserving their independence, without
making the cessions that France before required, in
the cession of the country from the Ebro to the Py-
rences, together with the free commerce of the In-
dies, which would henceforth be more beneficial to
Spain, inasmuch as they would collect the fruits
of it without any expence. His Majesty in Isis
answer explained the importancesof obtaining by his
beneficent intervention, the termination of the pre-
sent convulsions, with the advantage of being re-
lieved from the burthen •of maintaining foreign
troops, and that of the establishment of the new
Constitution, which promised so much good to the
nation. His Majesty then adverted to the pleasure
which the enemies of the Continent would take
in the present discord, and the weakness the
State would fall into in consequence, deriving
thence a hope that the, should be able to separate
the Indies from Spain. He therefore recom-
mended to the Council to redouble its exertions to;
preserve the union of all the Spanish possessions—
Eump an, American, and Asiatic. Those who 1
beard the discourse were struck with admiration cf
his Majesty's eloquence, the suavity of his manner,
the force of his reasoning, the extent of his knowledge
and understanding, arid his majestic attitudes. It
were to be wished that the whole Nation had had the
pleasure and advantage of being present on the occa-
sion. After the audience, his Mfrsty held a Council
with his Ministers, which lasted till :.even in the even-
ing, when his Majesty went in his carriage to Buen
Ratiero, where he dined and remained in good health.
The Magis.rates of ivladrid took infinite pains to con- I
tradict a report, for some days current, that the gates I
of the city were to be shut, •ind all the young men
taken away to carry arms. His Majesty gave assn.
rtuices that far from thitekin-, of a conscription, he re-
joked that the ciose coi.aection with the great mili-
tary power of France, render.:d it not necessary to
have any military force but that of the present veteran
army, and his Majesty looked forward to the time,
when, secure in the affections of hissubjects, he would
require no other protection. The Assembly of Ma-
gistrates then instructed the people to disregard all the
ns of those who sought to disturb them, and
to confide in the wisdom and benticence of the Go.
vernment."

To-day a,n English flag of truce arrived in our
harbcur, which was, however, turned away without
the dispatches being read, and with answer, that no
direct cummunication would be admitted with Eng.
land to treat, except with the concurrence of Frarce.
A hope, however, is entertained that peace between
the IN rte and Russia may soon be effected by the me-
diation of France. We flatter ourselves that then
the Russian troops, though they are now continually
receiving reinforcements, will evacuate Moldavia and
Wallachia.
The Emperor Napoleon has written a letter to the
Grand Seignior with his own hand, in which he re-
sews the assurance of his friendship.
The pa sage through Wallachia is now perfectly se-
cure ; and a number of transports, especially of wool,
pass hrough it into Germany.
The commodities put chased on French account pay
no toll on leasing Wallachia.
NAPLES, JUNE 23.

Our affliction on the departure of crtr Monarch,
says the .I:onitore, published here, was only alleviated
by he h'pe of his speedy return. Now is our sorrow
boundless, when we find ourselves for ever separated
frcm a King, who, even in ghe :ime of war, and amid
the incessant attacks of a faithless enemy, has, in a I,
short time, by a wise ainilnistnition, laid the founda.
tion of our happiness. In thi, _eparafion of a father
from his ..i tw7 great refizctions, however,
consfcrt ps—the first is, that King Joseph, who is
cafe) tt a bightr destinatic n, to the Government of
anc.ther great kingdcm, willnot cease to cast a !ette-
volent glance o us, and to approve and answer our
benedictions. The .•.hcr is, that Napoleon the Great
who made us so Fr CCI 3US a present, knows well how
to comfort and indemnify us fir cur loss.
