EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER-SAME DATE.

At length I have to inform you of the actual open-
ing of this important Congress. The Ministers of the
High Allied Powers met for the dispatch of business
on the 31st of October, at eight o'clock in the even-
ing, at the Hotel of Prince Metternich. England
was represented by the Duke of Wellington. The first
Sitting was wholly occupied with the subject most
interesting and most important at the present mo-
(mint—the state of Spain. I need hardly tell you,
that the great, the almost exclusive object of the
English diplomaCy here, in regard to that unhappy
country, is to preserve peace; and the whole weight
of England (and that is certainly not little) was thrown
into the scale of peace. But I believe it is equally
certain, that the Duke of Wellington had to encoun-
ter a very strong feeling of an opposite nature, and
that from more than one quarter.

A mercantile house has received an express from
Paris, which quitted that city at eleven o'clock on
Wednesday, and reached London at two o'clock yes-
terday afternoon, having performed the journey in
the very short space of twenty-seven hours. As the
motive for this extraordinary speed relates solely to
operations in the Funds, nothing more was learned
from it than the tone of the French market at the
commencement of business on Wednesday morning.
If this can be iecei, ved as a criterion of the state of
the political atmosphere, the inference from it is a
favourable one the early bargains in the Rentes were
all in advance on the prices of Tuesday, and the
Brokers were buying very freely what Stock was
offered them at 90f. Not a hint is dropped of any
step publicly take u by the French Minister to dis-
avow the new polidy supposed to be adopted in the
Cabinet with respect to Spain. Yet a rise of five per
Cent. in French Stock, the Rentes having opened at
851. cm Monday, could scarcely have been operated
without some information directly or surreptitiously
obtained by the leading Capitalists and Stockholders.,
A private letter, dated Paris, November 11, says,
" I have just had a long conversation with persons'
lacquainted with the affairs of Spain. They state that
ithete is now no intention at Madrid of trying Don
Carlos. The threat held out to the French Ambas-
sador is of a different nature. The Infante has been
judicially convicted of having taken an active part in
the affair of Burgcs. Orders signed by him have
been found ; and a threat has been made that the pro-
ceedings in this process, which have hitherto been
kept secret, will be published. The accomplices in
the affair of the 7th of July have long since denounced
Carlos, but he adopted the resolution of denying every
thing, and there the investigation ended. This is the
source of the reports of his being to be put on his
trial. It is said that San Lorenzo has exchanged
thundering notes with the French Ministry, and that,
among other things, he announced the immediate re-
moval of all the Royal Faniily to Seville and Cadiz,
the moment that French troops should pass the Ebro.
This on-dit about San Lorenzo seems, however, a little
inconsistent with what I can state to you as a fact—
that he has lately received from the King of France
' a snuff-box, set with diamonds, worth '20,000 francs.
• Perhaps his Most Christian Majesty thought, by such
' a mark of regard to a Grandee of Spain, to shew him
one of the advantages of being a courtier above the
barren faux of being a Constitutional Patriot."
