ELBERFELD, NOVEMBER O.

Yesterday evening we received the agreeable intelli-
gence that the ship Gratitude, Captain Batten, which

had on board a Very rich cargo belonging to the Ithanish'
West India Company Olestined for Bfeisicow bad arrived
iu safety at Alvarado, after having been given up for loit.
COPENHAGEN, OCTOBER 29.
The Council of State has been engaged ever sinci tfie
beginning of this year in endeavouring to obtain a clear
view of the revepue and expenditure of the kingdom,
and the result of its labours is, that the expenditure is
to be fixed to a certain limited amount. A commence-
ment was made two years ago, and a certain sum as-
signed for the Army and the Navy, that for the latter
was two millions of rix-dollars in silver.

It is now made out what is necessary-fot the public
debt, and all the civil departments, so that their expen-
diture has been fixed according to an average of three
years. It appears, as we understand, that the actual
tevenue is quite sufficient to cover the expenditure.
Should any deficiency occur, a reduction of 1 per cent.
then g per cent. &c. is to be made in the expenditure,
till the debtor and creditor sides of the account are in
equilibrium. In every case the strictest eionomy is
urgently recommended to all public departments.
Since the 17th, the temperature of the air, at Stock-
holm, has suddenly fallen from 16 degrees above freez-
ing to 21 below, and it snowed without interruption to
the 19th.

The French Papers last receisied contain two ae-
cress from Greece. By the first we learn that the
Greek Government having triumphed over the factious
party, which had refused obedience to the laws and es-
tablished authorities, granted on the 14th of July, a
general and red amnesty to all offenders who should
make their submission. The Chiefs of the rebels are
included ‘s ithin this act of grace, and the only differ-
ence made between them and those whom they mis-
led, consists in their being declared incapable, dur-
ing two periods, of filling any superior office.
On ti.e 2Sth of August, the Greek Government issued',
another decree, the object of which is, to encourage
I the tiade of Neutrals in the Seas of Greece. After
'stating that it had heard with regret that some foreign
mei chant vessels had complained of ill-treatment on
the pail of Grecian privateers, it declares, in order to
prevent any future inconvenience of the kind, " that if
any privateer unjustly injured the commerce of Neutrals,
k would. rkild not only no protection from the Greek
Navarchs, thin would be severely punished. It then
orders that all privateers must be snpplied with letters
of marque and instructions from the Government, under
pain of b'ein'g treated as pirates."
There now seems no doubt that a considerable por-
tion of the Fiend.] army will be withdrawn from Spain,
as it has been stated in the Ailonilorr, though not in an
official form, but in an article from Spain:

. FROM TILE moxirust OF NOVEMBER 17.

ItIADRiD, NOVEMBER 2.

" I confirm the news I hive before scut ycu relative to the eva- I
cuatlon of Spain by the Army of Occupation. It is announced that
may 42.000 men will remain in the Penindola : that is to lay,
10;000 men at Cadiz, commanded by a Lientenant.General; 6,000
men at Barcelona, commanded by a Lieutenant-General, who shall
have under him two Major• Generals ;
.1,500 men at Figueras, com-
manded by the Colonel of the Regiment which shall be in garrison
there ; 3,000 men at Pampeluna, the 9th and 6th Regiments of the
line, which shall be commanded jiy the, Prime 4e Broglie; 1,500
at. St. Sebastian, commanded by the Colonel of the 3d Regiment of
light Infantry, which is to form the garrison.

_ .
The forts of Urgel and Jacca will be occupied;, but the troops
that will form their garrisons are to be taken front the two Armies
of Observation at Bayonne and Perpignan, besides the 23,000 men.
The garrison of Madrid is to quit the capital on the 21st of this
mouth, and will arrive on the Ist of December at Burgok,where
the Intendant has received orders to prepare provisions for them"

In another part of our Paper we have given the Most
ample details of the destructive fire which, for two
days, raged in the City of Edinburgh. The letter from
our Correspondent gives many particulars omitted in
the Edinburgh Journals. It will be seen, that at eight
o'clock on Wednesday evening it had not been entirely
subdued; and, from its hieaking out in diffeient direc-
tions, it was impossible to know when it would cease. As
most of the houses in the Old Town are very lofty and
contain numerous inmates, several hundreds of fami-
lies have been rendered houseless; and to add to the
calamity, it appears that several lives have been lost.
