Extract of a letter from Madrid, dated 0ct.24,1824 :
" Amongst various reports circulating here relative to
events likely soon to take place, the most alarming is,
undoubtedly, that which concerns the near departure
of our allies. If this event should happen as soon as
it is threatened, it requires no great sagacity to foresee
the evils that must inevitably result from it, when the
extreme fermentation which agitates the public mind is
considered. The Royalist party, which not for more
than a year has been exercising every species of ven-
geance and persecution upon their fellow-countrymen,
who have hitherto been obliged to bear all in sullen pa-
tience, ought certainly to dread the departure of the
French, whose presence alone has kept the injured party
from retaliating. There is, therefore, nothing mote
probable—nay certain, but that the moment this bar-
rier is removed, the torrent of vengeance will pour down
from a contrary direction, and take ample retribution
for the bloodshed and evils so uselessly inflicted. The
Constitutional party in Spain is more numerous than is
generally thought, and even on the slightest turn of the
scale their numbers would be augmented by those who
now, through fear, declare theMselves RoyalistF, but
who are utterly disgusted with the mad measures pur-
sued by the Govei nment. Notwithstanding the anxious
desire of Our Government to have an army at its dispo-
sition, and its strenuous efforts to arrive promptly at
that consummation, the organization of the army ad-
-vances with a most slothful pace, from the want of that
great priomm mobile cf loyalty, as of everything else—
money. It is with the funds resulting from the Gueb-
hard loan, in a great measure, that four or five thousand
of the Royal -Guard and a few regiments of the line
have been got to-;ether, but to proceed any further, re-
course must be had to fresh loans of a still more ruinous
description than the preceding ones. But, even sup-
pose an army to be organized, still the Government
would have but a very precarious hold upon their alle-
giance, if the Constitutional party were, by any acci-
, dent, to skew itself in anything like an imposing atti-
tude. A rumour is again abroad, that the Government
have again taken into consideration the propositions for
a loan, which I recently mentioned to you, and that the
Council had separated without having come to any de-
cision on the question ; but as these rumours have been
traced not to the purest of sources, there is little reliance
to be placed on them. I stated to you some time ago,
that a project for 2 new levy (qtrialtr). of 37,000 ro-..n
had been presented to his Majesty. This, though still
not determined on, has already caused some disturb-
ances; and by what we can learn from tiro prosinces.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.
"PARcs, Nov. 4.
" The arrest of M.Cousin, the preceptor of the young
Duke de Montebello, by the Prussian Government, has
created a strong sensation in Patis. The Baron de
Dam's appears to be much interested in this affair, and
he has .promised to interfere in an effectual manner
with the Prussian Government, and I am happy to say,
that there is but one voice at the Tuileries against this
act of violence, so outrageously insulting to France.
This feeling against the Prussian Government is,. per-
haps, increased by the pretensions lately raised in the
Cabinet, at Berlin, for further indemnities from Fiance.
It was understood that all these claims had been finally
settled by the treaty of 1815. But Prussia now pretends
to take advantage of some secret or equivocal article in
that treaty, to demand compensation for the injury
committed by the French troops in the royal habitations
at Berlin and Koningsberg. This compensation was at
first estimates at 60 millions of francs; but on the re-
presentations and remonstrances of the French Govern-
ment, it has been reduced to thirty-eight millions ; net-
withstanding this abatement, however, the Cabinet of
the Tuileries is far from being inclined to comply with
the requisition ; and this disinclination has, without
doubt, greatly contributed to produce the ardent inte-
rest shewn at Court for M. Cousin.

"This demand for compensation arrives too very in-
opportunely at this moment, when the state of the
finances is so embarrassing to the Ministry. M. de
V.llele has given up, at least for the present, his inten-
tion of proposing a new act (projet de loi) for the 'e-
duction of the rentes ; he feels that he has enemies
enough already, without adding to them the monied
interest (ks rentiers). Ile will content himself with
proposing an indemnity to the emigrants, and every
effort of his ability as a financier will be exerted to pro-
vide for it from the Sinking Fund. He will .also, it is
sail, further propose a Loan of 200,000,000 of francs
(5,000,0001. sterling), the ostensible object of which will
be, to cover the overplus in the expenses occasioned by
the war in Spain, and the military -occupation of that
country since the deliverance of the King. It is under-
' stood that this Loan will Asp serve to pay the debts of
Louis XVIII. and those which his present Majesty con-
tracted before his accession to the throne.
" Whatever idea may be formed of the composition of
the Chamber of Deputies, it isimpossible not to foresee
that the proposal of this loan will give rise to a vet y
warm discussion. It will induce the Deputies to recur
to the situation of Spain, and probably at the period r f
the discussion, that situation will be more desiorate
than it is even at this moment. It is reported that Since
the French Government have determined to evacuate
Spain, Ferdinand has resolved to leave Madrid and fix
his residence at Vittoria, that he may be near the frontier,
in the event of any violent explosion of public feelinv.
" The Deputies are beginning to arrive in Paris, and
the disposition they discover, corresponds but little with
the expectations of M. de Villele ; those even who %%etc
the mo,t devoted to the Minister, find that in their
partments he is become the object of general hatred and
cnatempt, and many of them do not hesitate to decla:e
that his retirement from office is indispensable."
. It has been remarked, that the Ministry hate never
been less active than since the commencement of the
new reign. It appears as if all public affairs were :Ali.

as popular by their acts, as the King is by his affability

the King; and if he keeps them in office much longer,
they will too cet tainly succeed in so doing—Bp itish
