MADRID. AUGUST Q.

A reprrt is in circulation that the Government has
received A new Bull, by which his Holiness grants
to Monks the power of secul4risng themselves; it is
believed that numbers will tike advantage of the
permission. The Holy Father has also audiorised
the onion of the smaa Convents of the minor Reli-
gious orders, in order to di:ninth their number.

From the private letter horn Paris which we sub-
kin, our Readers will find, that the to fait of Russia
having contracted to lend her powerful aid to reduce
to submission the Spanish colohies in South America.
is repeated with a confidence and circumstantiality,
which leave•; scarcely any doubt of its null). A
Treaty for the purpose is said to have been signed so
far back .s the ielt of May, and the exact di...cription
aad amount of the.aukiliary force are even subjoined.
It appears also, from this letter, that Carlsbad is
now spoken of without reserve as the scene of an
approaching General Congress of the European
Powers. The prin.ipal objects of the deliberations
of this Congress are presumed to. ha the affeirs of
Saudi America. toother with the disputes between
the Crowns of Spain and -Portugal. The question
relative to the diminution of the Allied Army in
France, is also conjectured to be one of those which
are likely to engage its attention.

PoRiVATE LETTER.
PARIS. AUGUST 11.

4, For some time there liar been a great deal of con-
versation respecting a treaty concluded between the
Courts of St. Petersburgh and Madrid, but of a very
vague nature. Letters, however, from Vienna, dated
July 26, are more particular, and in detail. It is
confidently asserted there, that the Courts of Sr.
Petersburgh and of Madrid signed a treaty of
alli-
ance on the 7;h of May, by virtue r•f which Russia
will furnish Spain with a squadron of Eve ships of the
line, four frigates, and 16,000 troops, in order to re-
duce to submission the Spanish colonies in South
America. On her part. Spain will cede to Russia
the Island of Minorca and the two Californias. It is
' added, that the squadron and the transports are all
ready in the Port of Sebastopal, in Crimea, but that
the o.t,roun Porte refuses to allow their passage
through the Bosphorus, in spite of the pressing impor-
tunities of Count Stroganoff, Ambassador from Rus-
sia to Constantinople.
" The negotiations at Carlsbad will commence
immediately. This Congress will be composed of
the following persons s— For England, Mr. Lamb ;
for Russia, the Count Capo d'lstria ; for Austria,
Prince Metternich ; for Prussia, Prince Lindenberg ;
and for France, the Count de Caraman. The principal
objects which will, occupy this Congress will be Ole
affairs of the revolted Colonies in America, and the dis-
pute* between Portugal and Spain with winch the Ml-
orstersof the great Powersat Paris are already occupied.
The question of the diminution of the Army or Oc-
cupation in France will also be agitated at Carlsbad.
It appears that u•tne of the Powers had at first de-
sired that the Congress should be held at Ais-la-
Chapelle. .1 he departure of Prince Metternich for'
Carlsbad is considered as very near. The last letters
from Germany ;announce the arrival at Carlsbad of
the Count Capo d'lstria, as well as of the young
English diplomatist Mr. Lamb. These same letters
say, that should t'rince Metternich delay to arrive at
Carlsbad, and Prince Lindenberg should be obliged
to set off before the arrival of the Austrian Minister,,
f r the purpos- of attending his Sovereign in the pro-
vinces of the Rhine, then M. de li•usemarck, Minis-
ter of Prussia at Vienna, will replace M. de Harden-
berg. Count de Caraman did nut leave Paris for
Carlsbad till the 6,h.

g' As to the internal affairs of France, his instruc-
ti,,ns relate principally to the diminution of the Army
of Occupation, and to the arrangements Isr re-
cloc.ng the debts due from France to foreign Powers ;
and which amount, according to the last calculations,
to the enormous sum of f 1,000,000,000 of francs.—
(The claim on these debts was admitted in the treaty
of the •20th of November, 15I5). Alter a discus-
sion in the Council of State, these claims have been
divided into twenty-one classes, the fast of which
will be entirely paid off : but as to the rest, the French
Government proposes a reduction greater or less, so
as to bring down those debts to the sum of 500 mil-
lions of francs.—Count Blacas announced in his last
dispatches, that the negociations with the Holy See
for the new Concordat ore completely concluded.
Already the Journal of Rome (Diario di Puna) of
the 19th of July had formally announced a Consis-
tory for the 28th of July r and private letters all agree
in stating, that on that day the Pope would intorm
the sacred C 'liege of the termination of the ecclvsias-
tie business of France. Now the arrival of the Cm-
cord it is expected every day :on the departure of the
last c-urier fium Rome. there were only son.e forms
to be Hied up in the 6tEces of the Holy See. The
bases 4 tl:e nese concordat arc nearly the tame as
those of the Concordat concleded under Fratic!s 1. in
I. The fule tairous propositions of the Gatti
can Church are passed over in silence. These plO.
positions are :

" In. That tly: power a the Papa relates ot.ty to apiritual,
