A letter dated Madrid, the 9th inst. mentions that
the departure of the Portuguese Ambassador was so
fully decided upon, that thehorses for his carriage were
ordered ; but the preparations for his leaving Madrid
were suddenly countermanded, which led to a supposi-
tion that FERDINAND would recognise the changes made
in Portugal ; bat, on the other hand, the Apostolic:
were decidedly against the Constitution, and the Autho-
rities of the frontier towns were on the alert, to
prevent all kinds of communication between the sub-
jects of the two rations. A Council of Ministers was
held in Paris on Sunday, at which the KING pre.l
sided, and continued four hours deliberating.
Paris Papers of Tuesday have been received. The
Etoile contains an extract of st letter addressed by M.
EQUI, the Minister of War, to the Governor of Old
Castile, relating to the emigration of the Marquis Je
CHAVES from Portugal into Spain, with his Portuguese
followers, and also respecting the Constitution. This
letter is dated the 28. h of October, in which it is stated
that King FERDINAND at that period had not tecog.
nised the Constitutional Government of Lisbon. It is
not likely that his MAJESTY will change his determi-
nation so long as he is surrounded by his present ad-
visers, unless some of the leading Powers of Europe
should prevail upon bim to adopt a more liberal system
of policy towards Portugal.
Monday se'nnight Mr. MATHEWS had an oppor-
tunity of displaying that ready wit for which he is se
famous. In the entertainment of the Memorandum
Book, there is a song called the " Liverpool Night
Coach," in which a travelling astrologer, an outside
passenger, invites one of his fellow travellers to look
through his telescope, and describes to him the names
g)t- the planets, &c. " There's Jupiter and his set of lights';
there's Venus; there's Mars." At this point, a fellow is
the gallery, who had, at different times during the even-
ing, created much noisy disturbance, greatly to the an-
noyance of both audience and performer, roared out
with a stentorian voice, " Look at me !" upon which
MATHEWS, whose spleen had been for some time ga-
thering within him, pointed his telescope at the fellow,
saying, with infinite promptitude, " and there's the
l:reat Beal !" which brought down a tremendous burst
of laughter, and several rounds of applause.
Gibraltar Papers to the Scl of November have been
received. The l'aper of the Ist contains a Proclamation
of Lieutenant Governor Dora, which states—" It is
hereby ordered and directed, that henceforward the se-
veral provisions of the Order of his Majesty in Council
of the 23J March, 1825, regulating the metallic cur-
rency of the Colonies, so far as the same applies to this
garrison and territory, shall be strictly observed and
enforced ; and that in liquidation and payment of all
debts and engagements, a tender and payment, in Bri-
tish silver money, to the amount of four shillings and
four pence, shall be considered as equivalent to one Spa-
riidr dollar: Copper money, British coinage, is also
declared a legal tender.
