was placed in large detachments at different places.
The guard was posted close to the said church at.,
oineOrclock ; the cavalry marched to receive his Ma-
irsty, and halted at the Place de las Delicias. As
soon as the King appeared, it advanced before him,
iedving only a single squadron to follow his Majes-

ther Alcalde representing the tribunal ; and a squa-
dron of the Garrison Cavalry closed the procession.
The Governor of the place, with the Etar Major,
were ready at the gate of Atocha, to present to his
Majesty the keys of the city.
After that ceremony, the Governor put himself at
,the head of the cavalry of the garrison ; and the Mu-
nicipal Council fell in behind the Royal Guard, and
before the Body Guard of his Majesty.
The entrance of his Majesty into Madrid was an-
nounced by another discharge of a hundred cannons,
and by the ringing of all the bells, which was fre-
quently repeated during the day.
His Majesty, entering by the gate of Atocha, tra-
versed the Prado, proceeded through the street of Al-
cala, the gate of the Sun, the street of Las Carretas,
of Atocha, and of Toledo, to the church of St. Isidore.
The crowd was immense throughout, and manifested
its joy by continual acclamations.
The Suffragan Bishop, in his pontifical habits, the
Canons, Vicars, and Rectors, the Vicars-General, and
Prelates of religious orders, received his Majesty at
the gate, and six of the most ancient Canons conduct-
ed him to the Throne.
The Suffragan Bishop addressed his Majesty in an
excellent discourse, worthy of his character, and pro-
per for the day, the place, and the event.
His Majesty spoke in these words :
" Before rendering tianks to the SneseMi ARSITER of Des-
TIN] rs, for my return to the capital of this kingdom entrusted to
my care, I wish to relily to the affectionate reception of its
bitanu, by declaring my secret thoughts in the presence of the
living GOD, who has just received your oath of fidelity to my

person.
" I protest then, before GOD, who knows the hearts of all, that
it is my duty and conscience only which induce me to mount the
Throne, and not my own private inclination. lam willing to
Lsacrifice my own happiness, because I think you have need of me
for the establishment of yours.
" The unity of our holy religion, the independence of the Mo-
narchy, the integrity of its territory, and the liberty of its citi-
zens, are the conditions of the oath which I have taken on receiv-
,
ilg the Crown. It will not be disgraced upon my head; and if, as
I have no doubt, the desires of the nation support the efforts of its
King, I :hall soon be the mest happy of all, because you through
me will all be happy."
These words created in the hearts of all the most
sensible emotion, which was manifested on all sides.
His Majesty being seated on the throne, the caval-
cade was ranged in the following order :—On the
right of the King, upon the third step from the
throne, stood the Captain General of the Guards de
service, the. Grand Chamberlain, and behind him the
Gentlemen of the Bedchamber. On the right of the
Lord Chamberlain, the Ministers ; and on their right,
the Councillors of State in two rows.
On the left of the throne, the Grand Major-Domo
and the Grand Equerry ; on the left of him the Cap-
tain-General of the Guard not de service, and the
Major-General having on his left the Superintendant-
General. Behind the Captain-General of the Guard
not de service were his Majesty's Aides-de-Camp.--
Behind the Grand Major-Douro, the Major-Domos.
Behind the Grand Equerry, the Equerries. In front
of the throne, on the last step, was placed the Grand
Master of the Ceremonies. The Chaplains of Honour,
and all the Chapel Royal, assisted in the mass, which
was celebrated with the customary ceremonies. In
the nave of the church were disposed two rows of
banqueting tables ; those on the right occupied by
the Members of the Council belonging to the Palace,
according to the order of precedence ; those on the
'left by the Members of the City Council, with other
titled persons of distinction. The Governor of Ma-
drid, the General Officers, and heads of the Etat-
Major of the army, and of the garrison, who were
actually in employment, ranged themselves in front
of the throne ; the other Officers were placed below
the Magistrates of the city, among the titled and die-,
Coguished persons. .1
After the Mass a Te Donn was solemnly sung, after
which the six Canons conducted his Majesty to the
door of the church. The Chapter and the Clergy
were placed as before ; and the procession attended
his Majesty by the street of Toledo, the street of Al-
mudena, the arch of the Palace, till he arrived at the
Hall of Ambassadors, where his Majesty received the
Court ; and another salute of a hundred guns an-
nounced his entrance into the Palace. All the private
houses and edifices along the line of the procession
which his Majesty took, were ornamented with rich.
and splendid tapestry.
From place ru place, the most excellent bands of
music played appropriate, airs.. From the entrance of
Madrid, where his Majesty got out of his carriage to
mount his horse, to the Palace, there was in none of
the streets a single window or balcony, which was
not crowded with persons of both sexes and all con-
ditions, who broke forth in expressions of the joy
which they felt in at last possessing in their capital, a
Monarch, sent by PROVIDENCE to heal our public ma-
ladies, and restore to Spaia the prosperity and splen-
dour which heretofore rendered its name illustrious.
At night there was a general illumination, which was
repeated on the two following nights.

Gen; and his om"ipotent goodness protests him.

" We desire, that bt conformity with these &spondees, you
&net die peepers of tee faithful, whom Paoviontcr has en-
trusted to you. Ltt us all ask a GOD, that he deign to let fall
upon us nis spirit of peace and wisdom: let us abjure every pas-
sion, that we may be occupied alone by such send:hew as ought
to animate us, and which the general interests of this monarchy
1 inspires! let the exercise of religion, tranquillity, and happiness

Emperor of the French, who has had no other end to supporting
our rights by his power, than to procure to Spain a long peace,
founded on her independence.

JANUARY 28.—The King went yesterday to visit
the Botanic Garden. An immense &mid, which
were on the beautiful. walk of the Prado, instantly
came to the gates of the garden in order to see the
King. This attention of his Majesty had a great
effect upon the people, who entered immediately into
the garden, and surrounded his Majesty with accla.,
mations of joy. The King appeared pleased with
this reception.
The city of Santiago, capital of the kingdom of
Gallicia, has taken the oath of fidelity to the King
our master.
JAN. So.—A deputation from the city of Zamora,
had the honour of being presented to the King this
day. In the speech delivered on this occasion, the
Deputies have presented to his Majesty the assurance
that the inhabitants of this city had always been ani-
mated by the best sentiments ; that having earnestly
desired for an opportunity to manifest these senti-
ments, they had been deprived of it by notorious
events,.which had
of
their homage from ar•
riving at the foot of the throne ; that they are this
day happy to enjoy the liberty of assuring his Majestz,
that none of his subjects will ever surpass the inhabi-
tants of Zamora in affection for his pet son, fidelity,
and obedience. His Majesty received these Deputies
with the affability which is natural to him.
On the same day the Minister of War, and Colonel
Clermont Tonnere, Aid-di-Camp of the King, r7om-
rnander of the regiment of Ireland, presented the
Officers of that corps to his Majesty.
PARIS, JAN. SO.

Letttrs from Bayonne say, that the 12,000 priso-
ners taken by the Duke de Bellune at Cuenca were
to enter Madrid the 17th of January. These priso-
ners compose the wreck of the Walloon Guards, the
Grenadiers of Andalusia, the Regiments of Tolosa,
Burgos, Murcia, Castile, and Africa, the Volunteers
of Catalonia, the Regiments of Ireland and of the
Queen. •
The Cavalry was composed of the Regiments of
the Queen, of Bourbon, and Lusitania.
FEB. 2.—lt has been published in Germany, that
some Nobles, domiciliated at Potsdam, have been ar-
rested, for having loudly expressed their discontent
at the suppression of vassalage, and the feudal rights
lappertaining thereto. According to other reports,
the arrests which have taken place at Potsdam are the
consequence of a conspiracy carried on in the town
by some Officers out of employ. What renders this
account probable is the positive information that five
veteran officers of the King's regiment have been
transferred to Spandau in the course of last week.
FEBRUARY 3.—His Majesty the King of Prussia,
before his departure for Russia, addressed a circular
letter to all his Ministers at foreign Courts, in which
he states, that notwithstanding his desire to return
speedily to Berlin, he could not, after the reiterated
entreaties of the Emperor Alexander, abstain from a
journey, to which every kind of motive ought to de-1
terMine him, the actual diminution of the distant*
between them, the. convenience of travelling in win
ter, and, above all, a perfect conformity of system,-]
which has just acquired fresh force-,on one side
through the interview of the two Emperors at Er-
furth, and on the other, through the definitive arran
ments with France. This letter terminates thus : "
contrary to all expectation, this voyage should be in-
terpreted amiss at the Court at which you reside, and
if possibly a political object or foreign views should
be ascribed to it, you will be careful to explain it,
conformably with this letter, and state it to be what
it simply is, a mere journey of politeness, attention,
and friendship, at which no one can or ought to take
umbrage."
FEBRUARY 9.—By a decree of his Majesty King
Joseph, of the 24th of January, there will be formed
in every town in which there is a Spanish garrison, a
Special Military Tribunal, ordered to try all recruiters,
and all who shall enter into the enemy's service.
Every military deserter or recruiter shall be shot.
Every civil recruiter, or who shall enrol himself
under the enemy's colours, shall be hanged.
By another decree of the same date, his Majesty
declares, that every title, civil or military, every de-
coration or decree conferred by the insurgent Juntas,
are regarded as null, and forbids every one to make
use of them, unless especially authorised by a decree
of his Majesty.
Marshal Jourdan has taken the command of 4
corps in the army of Spain, and Marshal Lannes
(Duke'of Montebello) is Commander in Chief before
Saragossa.
VIENNA, lAN. 26.

The Court Gazette contains the following intelli-
gence from Turkey :—There has not been, it is true,
till the end of December, any violent proceedings in
the capital of the Ottoman Empire, but there has pre-
vailed among the Janissaries a secret fermentation,
occasioned principally by the assembly on the borders
of the Black Sea of the principal partizans of the late
Grand Vizier Mustapha Bairactar, who have not
been pursued by the Porte. In consequence, Seyd
Ali Pacha, re-established inthe post of Captain Pasha,
has been nominated Seraskier, and clothed with the
ordinary attribute of this dignity, which is the sable
skin. He has been ordered to proceed in the seizure
and punishing all the fugitives who have been de-
clared traitors. Several corps of Janissaries have
been at the same time commanded to repair from
Constantinople to Romelia.
We are still uncertain how the last revolution will
be considered by those Pachas and Ben who have

• • ••• A, •
engasest themselves by an oath to pursue with re,l►
the execution of those grand projects. In the mean
while, the Pachas of Janina, Scutari, and Seres, hove
declared for the patalitt
*state of things, and for the
maintenance of tratiqUaty.
The Turkish Pleoipoten‘iaries are, we are assured,
already Set out to assemble at Bucharest, in a con.
gress of pattication with Russia. Interpreters have
followed.
FEBRUARY 3.-b.4%. report is spiittd that violent dis-
putes have arisenlietween the Coneteendants of the
Austrian and Servialk frontiers, on Ottasion of soma
Hungarians and CersOttns, who, in Mier that they
' znight not be enrolled let the Militia, had tr,,ss,a the
Danube, and demanded protection from the Aus.trian
Recruiting Officers who pursued them.
FEBRUARY 4.—The last letters from Tut keg
nounce that Constantinople is tranquil, but the there
is much disorder in the provinces. Ismael Bey, P.Nrhe
of Seres, in Macedonia, has declared in favour
the Seymans, who have the ascendancy in severer
parts of the Ottoman empire, after having been crush-
ed in the capital. The conduct of this Pacha is tilt
more surprising, as he began by applauding loudly
the revolution of the 14th November.

The Ex-Captain-Pacha and Cadi-Pacha are not yet
arrested, notwithstanding the pains taken to ascertain
their actual abode. Intelligence from Seid Ali is
expected with impatience, who, as is known, wa;
placed at the head of a body which went in search of
them, and in order to attack them wherever they
could be met.
