Ministers received dispatches this morning from Mr.
WELLESLEY, at Cadiz, dated the ‘2l:d ultimo. They
speak in very high terms of the conduct of the new
Spanish Government, but do not convey any intelli-
gence of importance.

We have this morning received Papers from Lis- I
bon to the ncl, and from Corunna to the 2d instant.
Their Contents are of considerable importance. The
Imperial Guards have now finally quitted Spain, and
are by this time on their march towards the North of
Europe. MARMONT is collecting what troops he can
at Sal.manca, with a view to effect something for the
relief of Badajoz, but there is an evident indecision
in his movements perhaps he expects orders from
Paris to abandon Pomp], and follow the Imperial
Guards to the North.

By the Lisbon papers it would seem that the Earl
of WELLIxotoN had entrusted the attack of Badajoz
to General HILL, to whom he had given 20,000 ad-
ditional troops. His Lordship's movemAlt with the
ma'n body towards Elvas is intended to keep MAR•
MOST in check, should any vigorous enterprize be at-
tempted in the vicinity of Badajoz.

Some accounts state that Mn R.3IOiZT had collected
50,000 men in and about Salainanca, with a park of
100 guns, but this report is evilently exaggerated.
The province of Gallicia has been put in a formida-
ble st.tte of defence by the exertions of the British
Agent, Sir E. DOUGLAS, who had distributed .50,000
muskets within these few months.

Yesterday a full Board of the Lords of the Trea-
sury was held at the Treasury, supposed to be on the
subject of Chinnery's defslcation.
The Loan of Six Millions, which was yesterday
announced as being requisite for the East India Com-
pany, had the etr.Nt of depressing the funds ccnside-
rab:y at the close of the market.
T:ic East India Company's direct trade to India,
will, it is understood, be thrown open to ships not ex-
ceeding, •1.00 tons burden. That to China will con„
tinue tinder its present prohibition, on account of the
peculiar character of that people.
The remains of Pie Marchioness of Bratallottata
