PRIVATZ CORRISPONDiNCE.
MADRID, JULY 5.
At four o'clock this morning kis Majesty left this for
Cuenca, from whence he will proceed to the baths at
Sacedon. The Infants and the Princesses remain at Ma-
drid. The fall in Guebhardes loan, at Paris, has not
made much impression here; and yet the deterioration
of the public credit is rather an unfortunate circum-
stance, at a moment when there is such a necessity for
contracting a new loan, but, unfortunately, here they
never seem to look towards the future. To judge by the
little attention paid here it present to the propositions
made for this new loan, one would suppose that there
was neither a wish nor necessity for money. It is said,
however, that one of the persons endeavouring to get a
contract for a loan here is about to set out for London
on that subject :his name is Groves. The consequence
of this carelessness and impotence is, that all the branches
of administration are crumbling to ruin,
The chiefs in the public offices seem only occupied in
satisfying their vengeance or their cupidity ; every thing
and place is bought and sold, and the bargains made
with the most •shatneless effrontery. These things are
now so public, that complaints and reproaches arebeird
from all sides. The vi ell-disposed Royalists are in
affliction, and despair of their country's situation. The
Constitutionalists .are alternately in a state of stupor and
alarm. Both parties blame France for not putting an
end to some of the most crying evils, which she might
'easily do with the aid of the force she has in the country.
If some step of this kind be not taken, either the French
army must remain here eternally, or else the moment
it quits the country an explosion will take place, the
consequences of which cannot fail of being most disas-
trous to all parties.
The amnesty is now converted, by means of its ex-
ceptions, into an engine to persecute or mulct the most
peaceable citizens. The pretended friends of religion
andbri2alty are straining their utmost efforts to discre-
dit one and the other, and there is little doubt but
they will succeed, though not meaning to do so. Al-
ready strange sentiments are hazarded, both upon one
subject and the other. This is the sad picture we have
before our eyes here; nor is the prospect in the pro-
vinces anything of a more cheering nature. The re-
pugnance to pay the taxes is becoming every day more
strongly pronounced. This feeling is still further aug-
mented by the ignorance and inaptitude of the Col-
lectors of the Revenue, men chosen for no other reason
but their furious attachment to the Royal cause. The
Conscription (Quidata), also meets upon all points
with the most serious obstacles. The people cannot be
persuaded but that the new levies are destined for
South America.

Several fresh arrests have taken place, amongst others
the rich jeweller Cabrero, and Captain Sierra. The
charge against them is, having taken part in the affair
of the 20th of March, 1820. The day before yesterday
four men were hanged for a robbery committed in the
house of a wax merchant ; seven others are, it is said,
quickly to share the • same fate. These numerous
examples do not seem in the least to check the evil—
robberies are committed daily and hourly here. Within
the last few days an O&cer of the Royal Volunteers
concealed himself in the house of one of his friends, a
watchmaker, and when the family went outs, he broke
open a desk, took the money it contained,as also several
°false most valuable watches. lle has been taken up,
and will, it is thought, notwithstanding his royalism,
be elevated to the honours of the gibbet.
