MADRID, OCTOBER 11.

The Madrid Gazette remarks upon various absur-
dities in that of Seville. The effrontery of the official
falsehoods of the latter is not less singular than the
dibhonesty with which, at the mandate of the rebel-
lions Junta, it distorts the articles which it pretends to
copy from the former. It would, however, be too
much to require, or to expect any regard for truth on
the part of men who are the prey of a spirit of fac-
tion and discord. Truth is sufficiently avenged by
their contradictions.

At one time an exp ress from Gibraltar brings his
Britannic Majesty's Consul at Cadiz authentic intelli-
gence of the evacuation of Vienna and the environs by
the French army, in consequence of a decisive action;
at another, an English trig, arrived in the Tagus, an-
nounces that the Emperor of Austria has formally re-
fused to ratify the armistice. After publishing so
many victories, destroying 4.0,000, and upon another
Occasion 45,000 of the French, and wounding or
killing 33 of their Generals, the Gazette of Seville
must have found it not a little embarrassing to admit
even the existence. of this same armistice. It expresses
itself in terms of the warmest indignation with regard
to the articles of the armistice.

,g It is really inconceivable," it observes, " that
Austria can have assented to so disgraceful an ar-
mistice. What a profound sensation must it not
produce in Europe ! All the conditions, from the first
to the last, are degrading to the Sovereign of Austria.
His best provinces, important citadels, are delivered
up to the French ! Countries into which their arms
had not penetrated, are spontaneously abandoned to
them ! The good and faithful Tyrolese are sacrificed ;
and all this to purchase a suspension of hostilities for
Pone month. What more could have been authorised
by a situation completely desperate?
,4 But did the Emperor of Austria participate in
this Treaty, the fruit of secret machinations, which
we shall not at present dwell upon ? It seems certain
that he did not, and that his surprise, on being in-
formed of it, was very great. Nevertheless, having
been urged by the Generalissimo, the Archduke, to
execute the principal articles, the evil has become 'rm.'
nwd:able. All that now remains to this Emperor is
to avail' himself or the interval, in making prepara.

Advices from Hamburgh of so late a date as the
20th ult. state that a desperate battle has been fought
between the Russian and Turkish armies, consisting
of about 30,000 each, in which the latter were com-
pletely victorious ; but no particulars are mentioned.
It is added that IsmAEL continued to hold out on the
27th of September.
French Papers to the 25th ult. (Wednesday last)
inclusive, have also been received, from which we
have given ample extracts in the preceding columns.
The contents of these papers shew that,there was no
truth in the report of NAPOLEON being indisposed.—
We are still without any official account of the terms
of the Treaty that has been concluded between France
and Austria.

By the EARL SPENCER hired cutter, arrived at Ply-
mouth, dispatches have been received from Lord
Cottisowoon and from the Marquis WELLESLEY.—
The latter are reported to contain his Lordship's sen-
timents respecting Spanish affairs in general, and also
an answer to the dispatches sent to him, relative to
the changes in the Ministerial Departments. His
Lordship, we understand, declines giving any opi-
nion on the new arrangements till he shall fully un-
derstand the views and wishes of Ministers, which he
cannot to his satisfaction, till his arrival in England,
which may be looked for in a few days.
In the mean time, the Ministerial arrangements
have received at least a temporary completion. The
Earl of LIVERPOOL succeeds Lord CASTLEREAGH, as
Secretary of State for War and Colonies ; Mr. RYDER
is to be Secretary of State for the Home Department,
in the room of Lord LIVERPOOL ; and Mr. CHARLES
MANNERS, son of the ARCHBISHOP of CANTERBURY,
succeeds Mr. RYDER as Judge Advocate. The Ca-
binet will therefore now consist of the following Mem-
bers:—Mr. PERCEVAL, Lord ELDON, Lord LIVER'
root, Lord BATJIURST, Mr. RYDER, Lord CAMDEN,
Lord WESTMORLAND, Lord HARROWBY, Mr. DUN-
DAS SAUNDERS, LordMutGnAvE, and LordCuATid.i.m.
