VALLADOLID, NOVEMBER 25.

We karn from- ivla.drid that Don Thomas Moyano
is definitively appointed Minister of Grace and Jus-
tice. lii) predecessor, blacanaz, is to be transferred
to the Castle ui Villaviciosa, an old country palace of
the court, and which within these few years has been
transformed into a polit;cal lazaretto. It was there
that the Prince of the Peace was confined at the pe.
niod Of the abdicataon of Ding Charles IV. We are
assisted that the Ex minister, Macanaz, is dani,erously
ill ei the gout, but this has not softened the malice of

We had, in vain, flattered ourselves with seeing the
influence diminished of die canon Ostulaiza and hip

trier preaches DO longer, and thu latter has given up
his incehdiary Joinual b but both of Oleg% take as g•

the share in the deliberations of the Council of his
Majesty.
We are ignorant to what extent the Duc del In.
fantado, M. Cevallos, and the new Minister of Jus-
tice, have subscribed to this influence.
M. Escoiquez does not appear at Court at all.
The Duc del Infantado is in high favour. M. Ce-
vallos, the new Minister, seems to have renounced the
idea of publishing the answer which he promised on
the subject of the Marquis of Almenara's pamphlet.

VIENNA. NOVEMBE.R 25. •
France and Bavaria continue -to make common
cause in favour of Saxony, and have pronounced, in
a decided manner, for the maintenance of the inde-
pendence of that kingdom. Austria seems also to'
be of this opinion, without, however, appearing so
zealous and ardent. The different parties contend
for the support of England (s'autorisegt de I'appui de
P4lngleterre) : Russia supports Prussia ; the latter
wishes for Sazoay : How is this great question to be
decided I Time alone will show.

The declaration of the King of Saxony, which has
been officially sent to all the Ministers at the'Con-
gress, to all the Princes of Germany, and wittily
fused, has produced a keen sensatioM
Without replyinglofficially to the small States of
Germany who ask for a share in the deliberations of
the Germanic B dy, they have been given to under-
stand, that their number and pretensions will bring
with them too much tediousness in the progress of
affairs ; that they must therefore trust their intarests
to the greater States ; and that division*and ill blood
will produce their ruin.
• The Declaration of Count Nesselrocle, Minister
from Rus,ia, relative to the affairs of Germany, con-
tains a passage which has struck•several persons :
His Majesty the Emperor of Russia► has seen with
regret the opposition which has been raised against
the loyal Germanic Constitution, proposed by Prussia,
and founded on the well being of the people of
Germany."

PRIVATE LE I' TERS.•
" PARIS, DISCIMSER
" The order for recruiting the French Army has
been put into execution. It will be recollected, that
on the reorganization of the army in the. course of
last summer, an immense number of old soldiers as
well as conscripts received permission to retire to
their families ; but were to hold themselves in readi-
ness to reassemble, and join their regiments, on the
first summons. The measure above alluded to, there-
fore, cannot properly be considered a new levy, being
only a recall of such a proportion of the 'furloughs
granted as would make an addition to the troops on
active service of 80,000 rncn. One half of these have
already joined their corps. On the specific objects
of this increase of force on the part of the French
Government, it would be vain to speculate. The
meaning of it must b referred to-the negociations of
the Congress; and it is perhaps designed to influence
is some degree their issue.
It is quite familiarly talked of at Paris, that the
reason why M. Talleyrand has not appeared to inte-'
rest himself with so much warmth on the fate of
Flanders as on that of Poland and of Saxony. is the
perfect conviction entertained by "France that she can
take possession of the Netherlands when :he /:leases,
and that it would be both surrfluous and imprudent
to make a premature parade of anxiety about that
which she is able and resolute to seize upon at some
future day." .
" Dec. 3.—An event of some importance has oc-
curred within these "few hours, in a change of the
heads of three leading departments of the French Mi-
nistry. To begin with the first iN point of conse-
quence, whether we regard. the office itself, or the
hands to which it is now entrusted. General Dupont,
who held, ever since the King's arrival, the admieis-
tration of the war department, was never popular with
the army, since his surrender in Spain. General Du-
p-mt also has necessarily been the organ of all the re.
forms and reductions in the composition of the army,
which, however unavoidable on the part of the Go.
vernment, with a view both to politics and to the state
of the finances, have produced not a littld irritation
and discinterv. Besides, the complaint nas very ge-
neral, th it the service did not go on ; that obstructions
were daily accumulating ; and no decisive arrange-
ments making, to stop the progress of these two-fold
evils—the unpopularity and imbecility of the Minister.
The King, therefore, determined at once on a
change that should operate effectually on the morale
of the troops, as well as on the ease of the public ser-
vice : he nominated Marshal Soult as successor to
Dupont. Souk's conduct in Bretagne has gained
him the esteem of his Sovereign. He has. the entire
confidence of the troops. As a man of general abi-
lity, he ranks perhaps, foremost of all the French of-
ficers ; though he is distinguished more for extent than
accuracy of mind : and, notwithstanding his fine or-
ganization of the South of Spain, his administrative
talents are said to be inferior to those of Suchet, who
divides the suffrages of the well-informed persons here
with regard to his fitness for the War Department.
The Duke of Dalmatia is not supposed to consider
Talleyrand with much respect. The next removal is
of M. de Beugnot from the direction of the Police to
• that of the Marine—a nomination by no means so
satisfactory as the former.
" M. D' Andre, an able and estimable Member of

the Cmistituent Assembly, succeeds M. Ben not as
Minister of Police. The latter had resigned above a
fortnight ago, but from some unknown reason re-
sumed the office, and it is only this day that he has
finally found a successor. M. Lagarde continues his
arduous duties in the police department.
Theta were no political papers found upon Lord
Ox—d, none at least of a culpable or offensive de-
scription. Some lama Irani the Princess Borghese
to her sister are said to have beep in the keeping of
the Noble Lord ; and their context:: not being held in
MO reverence by the agents of Covernmenr, are by
this time pretty w:li circulated thrcugh Paris.
" Amongst Ow mischievous rumours set afloat in
rads, wai one that the ling was likely to be at
tacked on 'Thursday or Friday last, either cn his way
.to the Odeon, 'or 'during the performance at that
thrt;tre. The Duke of Ragusa (Captain of the guar.
in waiting) thought it the wisest part to take som.

Early yesterday morning,. Mr:"PlioLart, King's
Messenger, arrived at the Foreign 'Office, with dis-
patches from Lord CASTLEREAGH. A Messenger
was expected to be sent off last night to Vienna.
Commodore Owed is to proceed immediately to the
Lakes of Canada, and will be followed by considera-
ble reinforcements. A frigate is preparing at Ports-
mouth, for his rcceptioni and the Officers who will
accompany him.
Sir ALEXANDER COCHRANE sailed from Halifax
the latter end of October, in the ToeNaNT, of 80
guns, for the Gulph of Mexico,. to superintend the
expedition that had been sentagainst the territories off
the mouths of the Mississippi : the troops that were
I ordered to embark at Jamaica are supposed to be des-
tined to assist in this enterprixe.
The changes announced in the French Cebine
bespeak a change of system in the Councils. of
Louis. Does this change relate to external or
internal politics? Perhaps to both. , The army
has been greatly reinforced, and Soulat has been
placed at the head of the War Department.—
This looks as if a state of hostilities was contem-
plated a, within the reach of possibility at no very
remote period; though, et the same time, it is post
sible these steps may have been adopted to give
weight to the representations of the French Minister
in the Congress at Vienna.
France, if we may believe the Parisian Editors, is
the friend of the weak and the oPpvessed ; the only
friend of humanity and of the rights of nations to be
found on the face of the carth.—Aye ; and, accord-
ing to her own declarations, so she has uniformly
been for the last twenty five years..
We never knew an act of robbery or subjugation
effected by any of the varicitiiibands Of villams who
during that period directed their affairs which was not
lauded by them as an act of justice—an example
of disinterested interference, only for the pleasure of
' conferring benefits on mankind.— We understand per-
fectly the meaning of the French vckabulary, when
we see her disciples armed with muskets and we be.
lieve all the world knows what sort.ofortguments are
called for in such circumstances.
The private accounts from Ghent are to the 6th
inst. They are of a' More pacific complexion than
any received for some time ; but unless we suspect
that the American Commissioners have been telling
state secrets to the;r friends it is not easy to conceive
how any thing could transpire respecting the real state
of the negociation.
Yesterday, in the greater part of our impression,
we mentioned a report, brought by way of France,
that Genet.' DRUMMOND, with his army, had been
defeated and obliged to surrender. The letters from
Paris stating this event, are dated the 3d and 4th inst.
One of them states, that the news came by the Gus-
tavus Adolphus, which had arrived at the I sie of Rhe
having left New York later than the Fingal. The
number of the British army is stated at four thou-
sand, but the date of the action, or even of, the ar-
rival of the Gustavus Adolphus, is nor given. We
think that this rumour must have its origin in
some imperfect accounts, referring to the supposed
desperate circumstances in which General Dime:4mm
was supposed to have been, before Sir.JAatea Yeas ob.
tamed the superiority on Lake Ontario. We know
that since that time the American army had been
forced to retreat to Fort Erie for shelter. That no
authentic intellige'nce of the kind alluded to had
reached Paris seems to be proved by the silence of
the French Journals received yesterday and this
morning, which come down to Tuesday inclusive,
some of which would certainly have noticed it had it
been credited.
A letter from an Officer at Montreal, dated 25th
October, after stating some particulars respecting
military operations, with which our Readers have
already been made acquainted, concludes thus :
u The winter draws on apace, and we are at this time
very scantily supplied with pray isions and forage. Bad
salt butter is 2s. 6d. per pound; raw Sugar 23. 6d. ;
salt Provisions of every description, and Flour, scarce
and very dear : even Wood, which has usually been
sold at from one to two dollars, is now at nine dol-
lars per cord ; and every thing else in proportion.
The following Coormunicatioa has been received
from Madrid :

ment of the con.aition of Spain by the appointment of
Sen. CEVALLoS to the office of Secretary of State, have
entirely Oanished. Persecution and violence, instead
of being moderated, increases more and more, and
the prisons are crowded with additional victims.—
Among these respectable Patriots we are sorry to in.
elude Sen. YANDIOLA, Deputy to the Ordinary Cortes,
and Clerk in the Department of Secretary of State for
the Indies ; Sen. GARCIA POLA, Director of the Philip-
pine Company ; and the Counsellor of State ROMA.

Court as one the principal eulogists of the conduct of

A shocking discovery was this morning made in
the Harrow Road, Paddington, at a small tin shop,
kept by an elderly man and his wife; who, though
generally esteemed in the neighbourhood, as a quiet
inoffensive couple, were last night heard to dispute.
The shop.not being opened at the usual hour, some
of the neighbours were induced to enter the house,
when they found the woman with her throat cut, and
otherwise dreadfully mangled, and her loishand hang.

CRIM. CON.

THE EARL Mr 110SXBERRY v. SIR lIARRY 1111.DMAY.

The defendant in this case having suffered jud7.
merit to go by default, a jury was assembled to-day, .qt
the Sheriff's Office, at twelve o'clock, to •assess the
damages, which were laid at Tinny Th:suand Pound:Al
The ATTORNEY-Gaiar.arte opened the case in an
eloquent and animated speech. He stated that Sir
Harry Mildmay, his brother, and the Earl of Ross.
berry were married to three sisters. Lady Mildm,iy
WAS dead, but Sir Harry was of course upon so
intimate footing with her family. The criminal in-
tercourse complained of wok place last Summer,
' while the Allied Sovereigns .were in London. The
meetings of Sir Harry Mildmay and Lady Rost.
berry were so frequent, and their conduct so pd, „.
cular, that at length Lord Roseberry and :he La.:i's
father, Mr. Bouverie, forbade all intercourse. L.:Jy
Itoseberry was then carried to Scotland, whither Sir
Harry Mildmay followed her. He toot has place
in the mail coach as a Colonel De Grey, and u.
rived at an Ina in the immediate vicinity of Lard
lt.'s seat, announcing himself by that name. He
then *swilled the disguise of a common sailor, and
Allowed his beard to grow, And sailel out every even.
inn in a boat which he had hired for. the purple,
Lord lt.'s country seat being on the sea shore. About
this period Lady ltoseberry, Who usually retiree
with the other females of the house at seven o'clock
from the dining table, instead of adjuuraing to the
drawisproom, suddenly disappeared. Her motions
were watched by the Honourable Mr. Primrose, her
husband', brother, who saw her one evening shut her..
self up in her room, and heard the door locked be-
hind her. The male part of the family were then
summoned, and on their attempting to force the
door, Lady 'Osamuy opened it, and Sir Harry
Mildtnay presented himself as before described ;
and holding in MI hands a brace of loaded pistols.
He was then calmly but peremptorily ordered to qu.t
the room in the precise way in whica he entered it,
and he obeyed the mandate by leaping out of the
window which looked towards the BC4. Lady R.
was then ordered to her apartment, and no further
intercourse was held with her by Lout
Lady It. was offered an asylum in the house of her
father, but she eloped in the morning and joules; her
paramour at the Inn, who carried her first to Eat
land, and afterwards to the cootioeot, where they
now are.
The Lady's writing-desk was examined in prom
of her friends after her departure, and it contained's
variety of letters from Sir Harry Mildmay, coached
in the warmest language, which the Attureey.
General read to the Jury, and which he cm.
tended, could leave no doubt on their minds as to
the criminal intercourse having taken place. -Among
her letters there was one of admonition from her fa.
ther, which drew tears from all who heard it. The
Learned Counsel commented on these letters at great
length.
The Jury had not assessed the amountof damage
when this Paper was put to press.
