MADRID, MAY 31.

An Extraordinary Court Gzzette contains the fol
lowing-4, His Serene Highness the Grand Duke o.
Berg bas decreed, in order to set the public mind in
repose on account of certain unfounded reports which
the malevolent delight in spreading, that the various
official and very satisfactory reports from the different
provinces shall be published in an Extraordinary
Gazette. Those received from Catalonia, Estrama-
aura, Oviedo, Valencia, &c. are uniform in statiov,
that in these countries the greatest repose and the bestc
state of mind prevail.
JUNE 9--His Imperial and Royal Highness the
Grand Duke of Berg, true to his resolve at all times,
to try those mild and gentle measures which are dic-
tated to him by his feeling mind, before he resorts to
the use of that power with which he is armed, called
before him, on the sth inst. the Generals and Chiefs
of the different religious orders of this city, to express
to them his gr.tt astonishment, that the Ministers of
a GOD of Peace, instead of making use of this influ
once to restore the public tranquillity, disturb it
by seditious and inflammatory speeches. His High-
ness, in the most earnest manner, entreated them to
remove the unfounded opinions of the people rela-
tive to religious worship and its Ministers.
This impressive speech produced the effect, that
the Generals and heads of the religious orders sent
round admonition in the true spirit of the Gospel,
which prescribes obedience to the powers whom Hea-
vcv has appointed over men.
The Minister at War has, in pursuance of a
Royal Decree, issued an order relative to Deserters,
which enacts, 4, that they who harbour a deserter
shall be punished with the utmost rigour of the law."
The Royal Corps of Life Guards having been in-
-formed of the efforts made by ill 4.iisposed persons to
counteract the benevolent plans formed for the pros-
perity and happiness of the nation, have offered their
services wheresover they might be required. His
Highness doing justice to the good-will of the corps,
means to employ it with that implicit confidence it
deserves.
In order to put the Spanish Navy in the best pos-
sible condition, a Royal Decree was issued on the 4th
instant, directing. all the ships -hich can be refitted
for service to be immediately repaired and put in a
serviceable condition; and a three-decker named the
Cones, a 74, called Buenos Ayres, and a frigate
of 44 guns, named Admiral Gravina, to be put on
the stocks.

shall he erected to him, io order to prove tie sincere respect he
entertains for clerical virtues."
It also administers some comfort to me, Gentlemen, that after

M. Noel' DR PIMA was with extreme concern
we learnt the death of our cousin the Cardinal Archbishop of our

services which he has rendered to us, and of the virtues dkplayed
by that veberahle Prelate, during thatca career of 60 yers,
we have thought proper to ordain, he shall be interred in the
Cathedra/, and a monumenterected to him, in proof of the par-
ticular respect we entertain for clerical virtues.
This letter baying no other object, we pray M. Bigot de Prea-
meneu, that Gon may keep you in his holy guard. (Signed)
