PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE..

MADRID, Dec. U.

I thought to have some good news to communicate to
you; for here things change every moment, and it might
be expected that amongst them something good might be
hit upon. Some important alterations have certainly
taken place : some say for the better, some for the worse.
()TON FI I. is sent as Captain-General to Valencia;
Lose. A is sent to Barcelona ; the notorious Esrstt A it, to
go to Valadolid ; and QUESADA, who MIR Captain-Ge-
neral of Andalusia, is to be Commandant-in-Chief of the
Royal Guard. Those who expect any good front this
measure,—and whom I will call expectantes—stand upon
the ground of the character of QUESADA. Ho is, indeed,
a staunch royalist, and an absolutist ! You may form
an idea of his spirit and character by the following
anecdote : —ln 189.0, when the Captain General of
Madrid summoned the chief officers of the garrison, to
take the oath to the constitution, by order of the king, he
addressed them, saying—" that if any of them did not
like to take that oath freely, he might dispense with
it ; but forthwith leave the kingdom." QUESADA
alone stepped forward, and asked his passport for
France, which he obtained directly and went away.
Upon the restoration of absolutism he was appointed
Captain General of Seville, and saved his jurisdiction
from some of the evils of the re-action ; and he fostered
such little improvements as our miserable kind of Go-
vernment is capable of. His appointment for the Royal
Guard is therefore looked upon by many as a omen of
some amelioration. Others, however, think that no
change can he made by FERDIN AND, but for the worse
(and, unfortunately, the result generally proves they are
right)—these malcontents give another version of the
affair. They say that O'DoN ELL and QUESADA, al-
though rank royalists, were the only Captains Ge-
neral of the provinces on the confines of Portugal,
who were not sufficiently subservient to obey the
secret orders of the KING, contrary to the public
wishes of the Ministry. The truth is, that the
Captains-General of those provinces are rather under the
direction and controul of the old Queen of PORTUGAL,
than of the Spanish Government ; and O'DoN ELL and
QUESADA appear to possess, as yet, honour enough not
to disgrace themselves by incurring the responsibility
of such shameful acts—the orders for which cannot bear
light. And now, as it appears very certain that the
villainous MIGUEL will be attacked either by his
brother or by the Constitutionalists, these magnates

want to be well supported by the Spanish frontiers,
having Chiefs there ready to act in MIGUEL'S de-
fence. The sanguinary and rapacious ERPAGNA is
anything but inapt to that purpose. It is not yet known
who will replace QUESEDA in the command of the pro-
vince of Seville. Some talk of CAMPANA, who is now
in the same station at Granada. But there is an obstacle
to that. CAMPANA was formerly Captain General at
Seville, and foolishly engaged himself to the widow
of a cobler, and at last married her ! The aristo-
cracy of Seville, although they liked the principle
—I should rather say the want of principle of the
General—well enough, were too proud to submit to
the degradation of keeping company with his wife ; and
he, finding himself in so awkward a predicament, ex-
changed situations with QUESADA, who was then at
Granada ; and where his wife was, of course, either little,
or not known at all. Your acquaintance with Spanish
affairs satisfies you that the command of the provinces is
bartered—with the tacit winking of our Government to
be sure—in the same way as is elsewhere done with herds
ofcattle. Notwithstanding this trifling obstacle; CAMPANA
is the man required, and most likely to be appointed.
In conclusion, I may at once state, that as thefarce in
Portugal is approaching to the middle of the second act,
you will see us playing a brilliant part in the catastrophe.
You will see old and ruined Spain, at the same time that
she tries to destroy the republicism in one world, support
absolutism in the other ! Let the nations of the earth look
Itpon this lesson of wisdom and power.

We believe it is perfectly true that his MAJESTY has
been lately bled several times, and that other medical as-
sistance than Sir H. HALFOILD, has been called in. It
is said that it is some disorder in the bladder, which now
afflicts the KING ; but the truth is that so awful a silence

preserved in the regions of the Castle that nothing can
be known of the state of health of the Sov RazIGN, be-
yond eurmise.—News.
The near approach of the meeting of Parliament has
occasioned considerable bustle and activity in the bolding
of Cabinet Councils, &c. The Duke of Wellington and
the Earl of Aberdeen have both been to Windsor on se-
parate days, to confer with his Majesty.—The time now
draws so nearthat the heads ofthe Speech must be quickly
arranged. The felicitations between the Monarch and
his people, on the prosperity of the country, we fancy
will not occupy much space.—News.
A public dinner is to be given to Mr. O'CoNs sad. en
the 25th instant, in Dublin, by the conductors of the
several Catholic charitable establishments it that city,

SINGULAR FUNERAL ARILANQUIRIT.•=III/ late
Lady Teynham was buried in a coffin, which is described
to have been a sort of chest formed of heart of oak, with
a lock and two keys, one of which was placed inside the
coffin, and the other was taken charge of by the de-
ceased)) maid. The coffin was made some years previ-
ous to her Ladyship's decease.
The following assertion, copied front one of the Ba-
ron d'Jsseca's journals of yesterday, is among the " lies
of the day," and one of the greatest we have witnessed
since the commencement of the new year:
" The King of Portugal and his Royal Sisters, have
been much in public latterly, and have everywhere been
received with the most marked loyalty and applause."
The frost was amazingly severe on Saturday night,
Sunday, and this morning. The pavements and paths
were rendered dangerously slippery, owing to the sharp
frost having followed a slight thaw; but the slipperiness
of the paths was eueh in the suburbs, that foot passengers
were oikged to walk in the roads over which carriages
had passed.
As proof of the icy state of the sides of the roads, a
man yesterday, at noon, skated along the side the road
from Hammersmith to Kensington, is his way to the

COLUMBIA.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE 6TAR.
LRTTER XIX.

Booor*, Oft. 0, len.

The policy pursued from its beginning by the Cabinet
of Washington is that which reason dictates, and which
we should imitate.

Columbia should disconnect herself from the other
Spanish American States, leave each to govern itself as
It thinks best, exercise the same right herself, but culti-
vate with all, relations of amity and comtnerce.
The affairs of nations must be considered under a posi-
tive aspect. The magnificent and chivalresque must be
set aside. Ta public as well as private life, the bril-
liant must be secondary to the said. The American
States formed like Columbia from the dismemberment of
the Spanish monarchy, contain more germs of dis-
organization than the country of Bolivar. NVe
have only to look back at what has been passing
so long in lifericc—in the Rh, de la Plata, in Central
America, in Bolivia, in Chili and Peru, where it has
been even said " treaties are only parchments; constitu-
tions, books; elections, combats ; liberty, anarchy ; and
life, a hurricane."
Columbia, on the contrary, in virtue of the elements
already established, offers every probability of a stable
organization in the year 1830, of one analogous to her
I condition, and consonant with the spirit of the age,
that is to say, of our reposing on the basis of order and
liberty. She must, therefore, separate her Trolicy from
the afore-mentioned States, not to be confounded with
them as she has hitherto been, by friendly or neutral
nations.

If, when we broko from the fetters of the mother coun-
try, we were considered as political infants, treated as i
such, and made indiscriminately to stiffer for the fiats
of each ; now that we are emancipated, and ad-
mitted into the society of nations, it is but just, that each
should be judged by their own actions, and not endure
the penalty of their brethrens errors.
The distinctive line is already began, and it is neces-
sary to strengthen it by such a separation as I have in-
dicated. On the other hand, Columbia and her LI nv.a-
ATou, having acquired much distinction in the war of
independence, they have excited the jealousy of the co-
belligerents, especially since the idea went forth, that
they projected the union of Columbia, Bolivia, and Peru.
It is of the first importance to calm these jealousies and
alarms, by concentrating ourselves within ourselves, and to
form only that alliance with the other States which may be
framed by intellectual emulation, and that confederation,
which may exist in good offices, and useful services.
Before, however, concluding this portion of the in-
quiry, I must suggest the advantage of defining our
limits, by a treaty with the Empire of Brazil—(a State
most worthy of our frieudship)—with Great Britain, in
regard to Guayana, and with Guatamala, that there
may be no motive for future disagreement. If we pass
from the American continent to Europe, we shall find
that our relations ought to be established there on the

same footing of friendship, good intelligence, and mer-
cantile connexion.

The Colossus of the North is still engaged in a war
with Turkey—the rest of Europe Mat peace, but may be
obliged to mingle in the contest.
In various territories of Germany, the people are not

unmindful of the Liberal promises made them by their
Sovereigns in the hour of danger; others, like Switzer-
land and the Low Countries, enjoy prosperity under the
influence of just laws and wise Governments.
Greece is awaiting from the European Powers
the reward of her bloody sacrifice for independence—
Italy groans in silence under the weight of her
degradation Portugal only wants a little aid to
overthow a tyrant who has renewed in the Nineteenth
Century, a despotism more atrocious than any which
has diseredited former ages. Great Britain and Francs
are at the head of that march of civilisation, which is
agitating the globe. The former, subduing her ancient
religious prejudices, has granted to the third part of her
empire, the political rights of which she was deprived by
fanaticism. WELLINGTON and PEEL, who all their
lives fought against Catholic Emancipation, have been
obliged to yield to the law of necessity, and have accom-
plished a triumph, which the higher talents of Pitt, Fon,
and Canning, could not obtain. Great Britain so
longer fearing a civil war, will now be able to attend la
the affairs of Portugal, and the Greek Question. Francs,
equally distant from the demagogue Liberalism at
1793, and that servility which the age repels, is
perfectioning her domestic institutions, extending her
commercial freedom, rapidly prospering, and augmenting
her political influence.
Columbia cannot remain like the Ottoman Porte
without Representatives in the civilised countries of
Europe. Her interest and dignity require her to form
connexions with Russia, with the Low Countries, and
with other Powers, but more particularly with France
end Great Britain, on account of their mercantile capa-
cities. France requires new wants for her surplus of
industrial and agricultural produce, and is obliged to seek
them in the vast markets of America. For this object,
the Monarch who holds the Sceptre of Louis XIV.,
who proclaimed to the world that " Commerce and
Industry, constitute the glorious of States," has just
sent a mission to ColumMa. The Envoy, Monsieur
Bingos, and truly worthy representative ofC a n a LEs X.
on his arrival at Bogota, expressed to the Government
" the high opinion entertained by his Monarch, of the
merits and virtues of the LIBERATOR ; and the desire
entertained by his Sovereign " for our tranquillity and
prosperity, and for the establishment and consolidatione
free and vigorous institutions." And there can be nu
doubt, when the next Compass shall have constituted
Columbia, that the most arguable relations will be formed
between two people already united by their idiegi,
character, customs, and religion. But it is necessary
that Columbia should present herself tranquil; and eau,
solidated, to the eyes of France. It was only lately bsv
Minister for Foreign Affairs observed, she was ready to
do this generally with the new States of America, "
soon se they assumed the character of stable, instead of
sphaguersl Governments, continually overthrown by the
abuse of military force, leaving industry 'Albans the
mesas of encouragement, commerce without cesillowne,
and abandoning the property of foreigners asEdel=t)
the pillage of soldiers and plunderers.' by

her great disposable capital, by her superior industry,
by her vast commerce, and gigantic navigation, will also
preserve constant communication with our country, and
we must cultivate a friendship, strengthened by its claims
on our gratitude.
But with none of those European Powers hays we any
natural political relations, and the basis of our system,
with regard to them, must also only be peace, good-will,
friendship, amity, commerce, and mutual respect.
It is to be regretted that in the treaties made with
England and the United States, no distinction should
have been made between the payment of dues on their
native shipping, as it is injurious to our revenue, and re-
moves a stimulant to our own navigation end commerce

—but what is done we cannot undo ; we must only en-
deavour to avoid, if possible, similar stipulations in future
treaties.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.

Wednesday Evening.

Sta—ln your Notice to Cot respondents its the Seas; of skis gum.
I, perceive you state that the letter from an unfortunete Lady
now in confinement in the 3larthalsea Prison, shall be attended to.
If that letter is, as I conceive it to be, from the talented Mar-
chioness. who in earlier life was the companion of Princesses, but I
who is now, front political events, reduced to the most destitute
state, I beg to assure you a c tee more deserving the sympathy of a
generous public, or the support of a respectable Paper, has seldom
or ever presented itself. As a medical man, Sit, lam daily com-
pelled to witness scenes of misery ; yet never has it been my lot to
meet with one equal to this. Imagine yourself. Sir, for a moment
in one of the rooms of the Marshalrea Prison, in the month of De-
cember, and that you there behold a Lady nearly 70 years of age,
whose language and manners at once. convince you that she is moldy
horn, suffering under severe illness, and, although devrieed of al-
most the common necessaries of life, still cheerful and resigned to
her uithapisy fate; and I an, sure you will jolt, with me In think-
' log this a case which loudly calls for the attention of the benevolent.
When I list saw the Marchioness,l wished her to permit me to make
her situ ition publicly known, but from this she shrunk with all the
' sensitiveness of a delicate mind. it is now three weeks since that
period, during the g part of which I have been ill, and conse-
quently had no communication with her. Necessity, I fear, has
compelled her to overcome her scruples, and induced her to apply
to you. This being the case, I feel it a bounden duty to afford my
testimony :is to the truth of her forlorn situation. I enclose you
my card, and shall feel pleasure in answering any enquiries.

MR. COBBETTS NORTHERN TOUR.

To-day, 11th January, I am going to Oldham ; to-
morrow, to Bolton-le- Moors ;on the 13th to Preston ;
on the 14th, to Rochdale ; on the 15th, to 'fodmorden ;
on the 16th, to Halifax ; the 17th will be Sunday ; on
the 18th, to Huddersfield ; on the 19th, to Dewsbury ; on
the 20th, to Leeds This is as near as I can venture to
lay down the route at present ; but I think I shall be at
Nottingham by the 27th, at farthest. At Leeds and at
Sheffield 1 probably stop more than a day. The
wo, Wier here now is clear ground and hard frost.—
Hitherto the winter has been severe, and I think there is
every likelihood of its continuance. However, my ten
men and boys, with two maid-servants, at the farm, have
got plenty to eat and drink and to burn, and to keep
them warm iu the night ; and if other farmers do
not do the same, according to the extent of their
land, the fault is not mine. Notwithstanding the de-
scriptions given of my farm and farm-yard by the
Times newspaper, there is not a farm-yard in
England that presents greater abundance than mine does
at this moment. Plenty of straw, of which the ruffians
said I had none. Nine working oxen, a cow, and a good
lot of the finest of hogs. The oxen have eaten up all the
corn-stalks, tops and all. I have about 18 acres of the
finest of Swedish turnips, as yet untouched. My opinion
is, that such a piece of turnips of this kind, with land so
clean, is not to be seen in England at this time, except at
my little farm; and yet the calumnious ruffians have
spread about all over the country, that the farm is
destitute of every appearance of stock or of sub-
lantial property. What punishment is there 'which
base liars like these do not deserve ? My landlord, Mr.
Colebrook, has caused a dtemorandum to he conveyed to
me, upon the subject of the paragraphs in the newspapers,
denying that he had any hand in them. This memoran-
dum intimates that an explanation will be afforded me
when I return to town. I shall therefore suspend opera-
tions in that respect until such return. If the explana-
tion shall be satisfactory, there will be an end of the mat-
ter, and Mr. Colebrook will find me just the reverse of
what he has heard me described ; but if it be not satisfac-
tory, Mr. Colebrook shall find, that though I despise the
Old Times and the other paragraph-grinders, I am not
about to permit my landord to republish with impunity,
libellous publications on his just and punctual, and even
generous, tenant ; but I am not going to suffer him to
'islet in the work of calumniating me, while my industry
and enterprise are really tilling his pockets with money.—

A subaltern upon half-batta may live not only without
distress, but comfortably in any part of India. It is not
necessary that he should do more. It is even better
that he should feel difficulty cccasionally ; but it is a bad
training for an officer to place him in a situation where
he shall always be at his ease, and scarcely ever feel the
necessity of practising economy.—Life of Sir Thomas
Munroe.

and actually put out his left eye " Poor fellow ! What
