FRANKFORT, DECEMBER 8.

The Oriental Spectator contains, under the head of
Smyrna, 30th November, the following paragraph :
According to private accounts and certain ar-
rangements which have been made, and which har^
come to our knowledge, the Ottoman squad:, 0
will not return for some time to the arsenal at Us...*
stantinople, and perhaps it will winter in the Arch.-
' pelago, where it has excellent harbcurs to retire to,
as those of Lemnos, Paros, &c. Thus it will be able
to watch the motions of the fleet of the InsurgeuLs,
and to baffle their projects."

We have received the Madrid paper s of the ;;,i :tad

with the sittings of the Cortes, io koy.-ever,
nothing very important has occurred.

report of a Committee appointed to examine tl:c do

le the capitulations, the lila of the insurgent Guards
were Tared; but a royal order, dated the 21st of
1,,,,u6t, was afterwards published, which excepted
the leaders of the revolt, on the ground that the
oritulatims had been made without any authority
N‘',.o..'ver. The Committee reported in favour of the
,•Tomises given by P
- ALA REA and PLACRS7IIA. After
,4 debate of considerable length, the opinion of the

•otrittee was adopted.
"1-1;e Espectador mentions the receipt of a letter
non, a Correspondent in Italy, on the breaking up
11-.0 asfembly of Sovereigns at. Verona, in which
wri:cr says, " the Congress bas dissolved with-

pretending to notice the affairs of Spain."
The refusal to receive the Spanish Ambassador,
\.,!I.ANUEVA, at Rome, has been attributed to the
..,,-;agues of the Regency of Urgel ; but the Espedador
to think it is owing to the influence of the
(-A,inet of Vienna. The age of the Pore senders it
-,,;,able that anew election willsoon take place, and
;, wished to raise the Archduke RODOLPH of
to the Papal chair. But
.it is stated by .the
Tyvta./or, that the Spanish Ambassador has the
setting aside one of the candidates: hence
it is thongllt desirable that there should be no Spanish
minister at the Court of Rome, at a time when he
r'ght be lik?ly to have an opportunity of exercising
tnis important privilege.

i 5 considerable doubt about the return of
