MADRID, OCTOBER te.
Yesterday, at twe in the afternoon, five French sol.
diers in disguise, who were reported to be Marna.
Jukes, met in• a tavern near the quarters of the Wel
loon Guards. One of the Walloon Guards appeared
to know them, and they perceiving this, three of them
fled, and concealed themselves, while the other two
who remained fell into the hands of the people, who
immediately Rut them to death in the inott ahnAllilig
manner imaginable. They drag their bodies
through the principal streets from Walloon qua,.
ters, as far as the Royal Palace, from whence tbeT
carried them in the same manner, the one without the
gate of St. Barbara, and the other without the gate
of Alcala, where they burned them, of which horrible
scene I was a witness. The populace then proceeded
to the house of the Russian Ambassador, because it
was said that the other three soldiers had takes re.
fuge there, and demanded them, threatening to bunt
the house if their demand was not complied with.—
The Duke del Infantado, President of the Council,
learning that the populace were tumultuous and ig.
furiated, sallied forth to appease them, accompa4a
by the Governor of the city, and Colonel Doyle, who
prevailed on certain of the mutineers, accompanied
by the Duke, to search the house, and not hark
found any one in it, they retired. The regiment t
Ireland marched out under arms, to prevent the burs
ing of the house ; but on their arrival they found
there was no necessity for their interference. .In the
street Hortaleza there were assembled more than
eight thousand people, through whom the Duke del
Infantado and his companions passed, and nothin:
was heard but cries of " Viva Fernando VII.!" "Vin
Inglaterra!" " Viva los Ingleses !" and thousands of
handkerchiefs, hats, &c. were waved iu the zit.,

MADRID, OCT. 19.—The Council has taken ire
consideration the melancholy occurrences which tie
people of Madrid, as loyal as humane and genera%
have seen with the greatest displeasure and pain, dr
not only were two unknown individuals assassinated
by a small number ofpersons, in one of the east
public places in this city, and on the very birth-dao
our most beloved Sovereign, Ferdinand VII. but dat
also a house was attacked in the street of Montere
and, what is more, the house of the Minister of tit
Emperor of Russia, and the Minister himself, tier
violating the most sacred laws of the rights of natio%
in the observance of which the Spanish nation ha
distinguished itself among all others, by its lioness
and good faith. The Circumstances of horror and
cruelty which followed these acts of violence, are very
opposite to th ..hors of our holy religion, .to
the wise lay.'s of the kingdom. which prohibit severely
tumults and popular commotions. They throw dire
credit on the character so justly acquired by the
Spaniards, who are not less brave in the presence
their enemies, than pacific and friendly,• comp*

meat among foreign nations, whose representathee
will look upon themselves as without that inviolabli
security which is due to their elevated charactei.
The Council, which has made so many &wife*
for the preservation of this capital of our Sovereigns
and which will never cease to make them for the
benefit of their country, can find no excuse for the
distrust which these tumultuous and atrocious ace
manifest in the rectitude and integrity in which
the inhabitants ought to live, in tranquillity, wi •
usurping an authority which does not belong to .
and which they must exercise without knowledge
without justice, or reason, hurried on by a false salt
or rather an insensate fury, especially since the Judd
are ready to listen to any intimation which may
made to them by a known individual, of such aeinel
be suspicious persons, or pernicious to the po
Saute. This Supreme Tribunal well know that tbell

NArotrores Address to the Legislative Body has
et yet reachei this country, except in the mutilated
pon of extracts. A single Moniteur of the 31st ult.
has seen received by Government, but the only news
contiins is the departure of the Emperor from Ram-
bouillet. This event took place on the SOth.—Mr.
slay did not arrive in Paris till the 31st.—The object
of 14ArotEoN's tourney is not mentioned, nor the
wiles of any d the personages with whom he was
secompanied ; but there can be little doubt that
Bayonne is the place to which he is bound. His de-
parture before the arrival of Mr. SRAw, is, we think,
plain indication.that he knew the propositions which
he andALEXANDER had made to our Government,
could not be entertained for a moment.

SPANISH PAPERS.
since oar last Madrid Gazettes to the tOth ult,
fare been received. They contain some documents
Telative to the disturbance which took place on the
17th, and an Order of the Supreme Junta for putting
Aussisition all the horses in the neighbourhood, f r
the purpose of mounting the volunteer cavalry, and
supplying the artillery with the number requisite for
their movements. The horses are all to be valued by
veterinary officers and farriers, and the proprietors
sze to be paid for them accordingly. Those horses
which are employed in necessary purposes are to be
last taken.

THE CONTINENT.

Dutch and German Papers have also arrived, from
which we have been able to make a few extracts.—
Thar strong apprehensions of a war between France
and Austria had been entertained before the late con-
ference at Erfurth is obvious, from the depression
that had taken place in the Austrian Goyernment
Paper. On the arrival, however, of couriers from
Boon VON VINCENT, after the conferences he had
with Axv.ANDER and NAPOLEON at Erfurth, the value
of the same paper is said to have risen about four
per cent. This circumstance seems to confirm the re-
port that the differences between France and Austria
had been, fir the present at least, adjusted. The great
anxiety evinced in the Continental Journals to prove
a pacific disposition both, on the part of Austria, and
not long since oa that of France, clearly indicates on
both sides the previous existence of a contrary inten-

tion. NAPOLEON, bovfever, found it convenient to
temporize, and Austria appears to have thought it
lopedient to adopt the same line of policy. The for.
linithus gains his object in being enabled to bear
down with his whole force upon Spain, fully intend.
ing, of which there can be no doubt, that if he con-
quers Spain, Austria shall be the next victim. A.us-
mia may probably on the other hand look to Spain as
tie means by which the power of NAPOLEON may
ultimately be overthrown, whilst her own resources
and strength.are in the mean time improving and in-
creasing. Whatever may have been the motive, the
!molt appears evident from the immediate effect pro.
lied upon the tone and temper of the Austrian Go-
vernment, by the conferences at Erfnrth.

The new levies have been in some instances dis-
banded, and their only object is now stated to be the
'teaching the people the use of arms. The Presburg
Casette of the 14th ult. contains an article to this
OFect, which also labours to pr:ove the cordiality sub-
lie% bBja Austria, Russia, and France, and
./illeablars.cooroborating circumstance, that the Aus-
Akiiiiiiits sent to compliment the French and
Russian Emperors at Erfurth had been received in a
manlier that assured a continuance of the close and
Cordial intimacy at present subsisting.
Letters from Petersburgh confirm a report previ-
ously received, that the embargo in all the Russian
ports had been taken off on the Bth ultimo. Various
taus; are assigned for the original measure of the
embargo : some say, that it was solely owing to
'some attempts at a contraband traffic by the Ame-
ricans, which the Government found it difficult other-

Etr of truth, that it was laid on to deprive the Eng-
lib and Swedish fleets of provisions, and which other-
would have been conveyed to them by neutrals.
