SPAIN.

MADRID, Damns& U.
Nothing verypastictdar bas occurred here within the
last.few days, It may not, however, be amiss to men-
tion that. amongst the considerable number of per-
sonsbanished • from Madrid by Zel,• in the month of
August last, there are several of respectability, against
whon-hfor want of pretext, or the smallest grounds, the
Ex-Minister and his agents, with all their excogitating
ingenuity, have not been able to devise even the sha•
dose of a process. One of this class is s4,e late Surer-
.
intendant-General of Police, Don Rofino Gonz .lez,
Who was exi!od to Pampeluna, and put there by Zea,
under the stir veillance of the Police Authorities: He
arrived yesterday in Madrid, and tt.survies his place in
the Supreme-Council of Hacienia, or Finance, to which
he was appointe.l when superseded in the Police De-
pariment. Ord..rs have likewise been issued for the
retton of Anduaga, Spanish Minister in the United
States of America until 1823, when he returned, and
no Minister s'nee that period has gone from that court-
try ta Washington. Anduaga was sent off from here
itallaierlona by his brother-in-law Salome, an
ecclesiastic, charged with the direction and superin-
tendence of ti,e liespicio, or Poor-1 (vise, in this town;
an employee m the Supreme C,uncil of War; and
Zeca, Commandant of the Madrid Artillery o.irps of
Royalists, are also amonglit the returning exile., be-
cause no charge has bees blought against teem. They
are, by law, authorised to sue for re,tress and indemni-
fication those th it accused or denounced them ; but, in
fact, there was no other accusation, no other denuncia-
tion, but the sic ado of the Ex-Minister Zea, who, by
party faction, has been so fastidiously held up to the
plihlic as a paragon of moderation.
Pecuniary resources are so exhausted in the country,
that liallasteros and the Treasurer-General we very
hard pushed, particularly at this se tson, when it is al-
ways cust,,mary not only to furnish the employees with
their respective salaries, but al o with wlist in Spain is
called tegalia—that is, extra allowances, as it were,
arcs riling to the different circumstances of the persons,
the French Pot de-vin, pour boire, &c. thus enalsling
them the better to make bonne chere, to have a merry
Christmas and a happy new year. The prices of wheat
end barley continue nearly the same as last mentioned.

EAST INDIA PAPERS.

LOSS OF THE HON. COMPANY'S TRANSPORT LOTUS.

The subjoined extract is from the Calcutta Jahn Ball
of the 27th July, 1825 :—We are sorry to have to state
the loss of the Hon. Company's transport ship, Lotus,
Captain Charles Brown, It N. from Rangoon, upon the
Sagur Sand, at the mouth of the Hoogly. It seems
that the Lotus reached the Sand-heads, and took the
pilot, Mr. Dunden, on boat d, on the 22d instant. The
same evening, about sunset, the vessel was abreast the
reef buoy; she ran about two hours more, when the
pilot fancied himself about the spit buoy, and anchored.
Shortly a'ter, the vessel appeared to be driving, when
more cable was given her, and about midnight she
struck, the small bower had been let go, and on heaving
up the best bower, the shank was found be broken.
Thevilut then endeavoured to get the head-sails ow the
ship, to pay her off, cutting away the small bower;
but the rudder being gone, and the ship still striking,
it was without effect. She continued to drive, with
her head to the eastward, across the Sagur Sand, till
the forenoon of the 23d, when she fixed herself, and
went over on her broadside. The boats were got nut,
and anchored a little distance. from the ship. During
t4Splght, the cutter and the long-boat broke adrift
;4„tit 1:1 r, with two Europeans, and eight seamen,
,tialsKrassolsed Calcutta; the latter, with thirteen people,
niathisher way in safety to Diamond Harbour. NOthing
forth* is yet known of the fate of the Commander
and the rest of the crew and passengers. Forty of the
body-guard, and the crew of the late transport ship
S,tellite, were on board the Lotus, together with several
officers retuining from n, whose names, for the
present, we withhold, in the hope that we shall sown
have the pleasure to announce their safety.
We waited till the latest hour last evening, in the
hope of being able to relate some gratifying par tic ul rs

The following is a copy of the attested statement
taken from the men who first came u:rfrom the Lotus,
in the cutter. The long-boat brought three Europeans
and eight natives, making in all, 21 saved, and it is
possible that more may yet cast op.
On board the Cutter—Gales Winbold Sd officer; Willians
Biggs, hoatswain's mate • John Scott and Most., Macqueen. sea-
men; David Griffiths and Robert Bean, apprentices ; John Ma-
dolor and Myr*, gunners, Portuguese passengers; Tom,
Topes ; and one Lascar.
The long-boat has about ten hands en board, two supposed to
be iteropeans, but could not distinguish.
On the 22d, in the morni- g, Mr.,Durden, pilot, went
on board the Lotus, in Balasore-roads, bl uirglightly ;
carried royals till nearly dusk) when they nrade the reef
buoy ; then freshening, kept running up.ch *noel till
about eight P.M. when they had some hea:ty squalls ;
brought up about throe ratites to the northward of the
spit buoy, and held—.when the rounding was in the
hawse hole, it was thought she 3, as d, ifting—eeered
away 50 fathom cable—blowing fresh and still drifting
—let go the larboard anchor, which did not take the
ground, and.in a few minutes she was bumping hard
'on a sand bank—hove up the starboard anchor, and
found the flukes gone—the larboard anchor still held,
till by the pilot's order sail was made—hoisted the fore.
topsail, foresail jib, and foretopmast stay-sail—cut the
larboard cable—but it was found that the rudder had
been knocked off while on the sand, and she would not
pliy off—let go the stream anchor, which held till
Midnight and parted—still blowing hard- with squalls.
The men suppose she must have drilled all the time,
from the distance they found themselves in the mosn.ng
from the spit buoy. Soon after midnight she-weer bo.
day on shore on a bank, and at dawn, the 23d of July,
saw Edmonston's Island, beating west-north-west, dis-
tant about six miles. When she settled in the sand, a
tremendous sea.was running, breaking over her in every
direction, and two feet water on the gun deck ; at day-
light heisted out the long-boat, cutter, and jolly-boat—
the gig washed out of her slings ; fifteen men, ten of
whom are here now, were lowered down in these boats.
and were sent to windward to keep.clear of the wreck
and breakers to leeward; all three rode at a grapnel'.
while those on board cut away the mizen, main, and
fore-masts; a signal was made for the cutter, which
could not approach the wreck for the sea, which WAS
snaking a breach over her. Ab.m: 5 P.M. they got all
(15 hands) into the long-boat to attempt to reach her
again, but with no better success; seven men then got
into the cutter and made the ship, but the approach
was so dangerous that those who were bold enough
had to jump horn the gangway, and take the chance
of being picked up ; one man was cut in two, while
attempting this, and Biggs has two of his finge:s jam-
med in this manner. With a hat had got into the boats
in the morning, twenty hands were saved. They wete
than obliged to leave the wreck to overtake the jolly-
boat and the long-boat, which were upset red drifting ;
it was then blowing a complete ga'e, and before the
people had got into the long. boat, they wete ain tug the
breakers ; were soon carried over the bank ; and in smooth
water, at 4 A.m. 24th July, 0 ere driven on shore on a
bank, a hich from the stiength of the gale and the dark-
ness of the tight, they could not perceive till they acre
taiily on it.
At six A.M. EJmonst Island, 'raring W. and by
W. the a reck S W. and by W. distant five or sis
again attempted to get off to the wreck, by pulling
along the inner edge of the bank on which she lay, but
could not, in consequence of the breakers ; her. they
found the longboat with (they think) two Europeans
and eight natives; they got Lear enough to obsettie
Vat the vessel was on her be, m ends to leeward', the
waves making a complete b: each over her, and she
appeared to have br, ken in tw o about the centre ; not
a perscin was observed in her, and the patties n'ow bete
have not a doubt but every one they left perished.
They found it useless remaining near the wreck, and
started lor Calcutta ; the 1 ark boat bring mach to
windward, made for Kedgeree, while the cutter was
driven into Channel Cr. ek, and arrived at Calcutta at
nine P. M. en the 25th of July.
" The Lotus left Rangoon (the Plot) on the 15th inst. and 80 per-
sons on board, namely, ship's crew, 16 Europeans, 2u Mussuinsans,
16 Hindous, 4 Grasscutters, five other natives, with five Officers.—
Passengen, Lieutenant Rtowntigg, of his Majesty's 13th Foot;
Captain Burrows, Aide de.Carty to Sir E. Paget; ('apt. Finucane,
his Majesty's 14th Foot; Adjutant M`Carthy, his Majesty's 47th
Foot ; and Mr. Coleman, Purser of the Alligator.

The Buenos Ayres Congress paned an Act on the

necessary disbursements for the pay of two Plenipoten-
, tiaties to be sent to the Congress of Panama., Repre-
srntatives had been sent from the.Banda-Oriental to sit
in the Buenos Ayres Congress. They had not been
received, but are stated to have many friends in that
State, and the question as to whether they should be
admitted or not, was expected to be shortly determined.
The Gibraltar Papers t the 17th ult. which • have
arrived, continue to give the most.fisting details of the
late hurricane in that B4y. It is calculated in these
Gazettes thAt 210 vessels have been wrecked; b,sides
Use numbers that foundered. No 'calculation is made
relative to the number of lives. Governor-General Dow
had taken the most active measures to relieve the forlorn
survivors. A subscription was immediately instituted,
aad every possible relief given to them, withol t any
reference to the nation to which they might belong.
The number of British ves el; appears to be few, In
proportion to the Arne: ican, the Spanish, and those
