PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.

SPAIN.—MADRID. Nov. 13.
His Majesty has just given the Grand Cordon of the order of
Charles 111. to the four Ministers who had net received that
favour--nansely. M. &Materna, H. Selman, the Marquis of Zam-
berane,* and H. de Salazar. M. de Calamarde obtained it long
ago, and it appears that it is at Ms request. that his colleagues have
been called to enjoy the same favour.
M. de Medki is to arrive here to-day or to-morrow. The
French Papers wish to maks us believe, that this Neapolitan Mi-
nister comes bare to meddle in our own affairs. I can assure you
tbat nothing of the kind is thought of ; we think it very natural
that the King of Naples should be desirous, on leaving his king-
dom, of having a confidential Minister near him. and therefore
H. de kledki's arrival will surprise no one.
The King of Spain has never thought necessary to call in any
foreigner to help him in the administration of our affairs. and it
would not be at a moment when the affairs of the kingdom begin
for the first time to be carded on with regularity and success that
His Wisely would conceive such an idea. The new mark of
power and esteem that the King has given to his Ministers, proves
bow well he knows bow to appteciate their honourable conduct,
and the happy result of their efforts towards the public wed—

The BEM who have been so roughly handled the last Account,
are now on the gad seas, and advancing with great caution in their •
future speculations. The Conant Market, which left of yesterday
at 94 to j for Money, and 941 f for the Account, opened at the
same price this morning; bet soon after the Market became rather
fidgitty,andConsols receded to 941 for the Account.with little doing.
Consols at present may be quoted at 94j 4, and 94 to j for Stoney ;
The rise which took place in Consols late yesterday afternoon was
owing to the notice sent down from Government in regard to
the reduction of the interest of the Rzehequer BiUs to three half-
pence per day. The following is the substance of the above notice :
—New Bills bearing an interest of one penny by the day upon
every one hundred pounds, and dated IMb December, may be
obtained in whole or in part payment of principal, upon stating the
required amounts on the list delivered on or before the said 14th
day of December ; which new Bills, with the interest on the BM
exchanged, will be hued on the 19th day of December. A hint
Is given by some of the speculators this morning, that in a few days
we shall hear of some ether financial operations on the part of Go.
'refitment ; but this may only be a ruse de guerre to keep the mar-
ket alive.
In the Foreign Market little business going forward at present.
CITY, HALF-PAST ONL
The British Market has been in a very unsettled state during the
whole of the morning. Consols, in the early part of the day, were
at 941 j for the Account; after which they reached 941 j, owing
to two eminent brokers having purchased about two hundred
thousand Consols ; but, contrary to the general expectation, Con-
sols immediately receded to 944. instead of a further improvement,
and at present they are 944 1 for the Account, and 94 to j for
Money : there being still a continuation of j per Cent. The extreme
fluctuation to this hour is about I per Cent.
In regard to political information, we have not any reports.
In the Foreign Market little doing, except in Brasil Stock, which
is net so good as In the early part of the day. Spanish la also ra-
ther worse.

By an Express arrived this morning from Paris, we
understand that Prince PoLicirac has obtained most of
the departments in his favour, as well as the monied in-
terest ; and it is not doubted that at the meeting of the
next Sessions he will obtain a great majority in the Cham-
bers. The Rentes come higher on ThursdAy, 84f. 60c.
and expected to reach on the next day 85.
M. de Ribeaupierre is expected every moment.
Messrs. Gordon and Guilliminot continue to have fre-
quent conferences with the Reis Effendi. The Divan
has managed to find a considerable sum of money and
has sent it to the head quarters of General Diebitsch,
who requires of his troops the most severe discipline.
The slightest insult offered to the merchant men is
punished with the knout ; a Greek who had struck an
Iman has even been put to death ! His great severity is
highly agreeable to the Sultan and his subjects.—Con-
stitutionae/, Nov. 25.
LIVERPOOL, Nov. 26.—The Cotton Market is ex-
ceedingly firm, and if any alteration, prices are rather
higher again this week, although the business doing is
not to so great an extent. The sales were yesterday
2,500 to 3,000 bales 200 Babies 6id. a bid. 700 Ma-
=hams 6d. to 7d. 250 Egyptians, and about 300
Orleans, fine 60. to lid.
Letters have been received from Constantinople, of the
Ist November. Tranquillity then prevailed there. The
Blonde was towed by a steamer to the arsenal, in which
Sir Robert Gordon intended to give a grand fete in con-
sequence of peace.
The following is an abstract of the Proclamation of tho
President of Mexico :—He states that, being invested
with the national authority to avenge the offences of a
foreign tyrant, and inspired with the confidence of a just
cause, and the undoubted bravery of the people, whose
idol is independence, nothing can cause alarm in this
war, which excites indignation among all his compa-
triots. The Republic is filled with brave men, who are
anxious to come in contact with the enemy, and who will
not acknowledge any other King than the law of the
country. An Army of Operation, conducted by Gen.
Santa Anna, and his brave Lieutenant-General Teran;
also, an Army of Reserve, whose chief is the Vice-Presi-
dent, and in whose ranks are General Heresa, Anaga,
Calderon, and Telesola; and an Army of the South,
commanded by the brave General Montero, Alveroy, and
Catalan, are all marching to the Isthmus of Gasacoalcas;
and with the same activity, all other points, menaced by
the enemy, will be reinforced. A numerous militia is
also forming in camp. " Soldiers !" says he, " the day
of vengeance is arrived!—Liberty or Deatk is our motto;
and the slaves of the Spanish despot will receive the re-
compense due to their temerity." Issued at Mexico, lit

A respectable farmer of the neighbourhood sold some
sound lambs at Marlborough fair on Monday last, at the
rate of 425. per dozen !-.Devizes Gazette.
At many of the late sheep fairs considerable numbers
have been purchased for the purpose of being exported to
Van Diemen's bind.
We are unable to announce any material change in the
trade of this district during the last week. The advance
which has been obtained upon the raw material has not
occasioned a corresponding rise upon yarns, the demand
for which has lately been much lees active. The ship-
ments for the North of Europe are suspended for the pre-
sent by the approach of winter ; and the home manufac-
tures require much less than is usual when trade is in a
_healthy condition. In manufactured goods, the sales con-
sist principally of low-priced articles for exportation. The
borne trade is without any amendment, and there is now
little prospect of its improving before Christmas. The
wages of all classes of manufacturing labourers continue
at the lowest point of depression.—MancAester Gazette.
