MADRID, MARCH 7.

Several person if distinction have been arrested in
this capital, within these few days ; and among
others an Englishman, on whom an enormous sum in
gold was found : it is not known what use he meant
to make of it. All the booksellers have been called
before the Tribunal of the Incjaisition, where they
must give the list of all the works which they have
in their magazines, in order that those which are
likely to displease the Holy Office' may be inter.
dieted : we are even assured that this Tribunal so.
licits the prohibition of every description of books
coming from foreign countries.
At Pampelana, and throughout all Navarre, seve.
ral officers have been arrested, who formed part of the
corps d'armee of Espoz y Mina : one of the Chiefs of
this corps, named Cholin, living at some dittance
from Pampeluna, saved himself by flight.

A Mail from Flanders arrived this morning. The
Dutch Papers brought by it contain the following
articics of interest:

BRUSSELS. MARCH IR

His Highness Prince Esterhazy arrived yesterday
evening at Brussels; he is going to •isit his son, who
is the Austrian Ambassador at London.
BRUSSELS, MARCH 17.

We expect the Archdukes John and Louis, who
will probably remain here some days. These Princes
intend to visit the principal cities of Belgium. The
Archduke John is well known to possess great military
knowledge, particularly in the Engineer Department.
He commanded the Austrian army in the Tyrol in
the unfortunate campaign of 1809. Our brave coun-
tryman the Marquis de Chasteler, commanded under
him the Austrian troops. We have not forgotten the
famous Order of the Day published by Bonaparte,
who, enraged at the rising of the Tyrol, ordered
General Chsisteler to be brought before a Court-mar-
tial, which was to have him shot in 94/hours after the
identity of his person was proved. But that brave
Officir, at the head of a small corps, and though all
the roads were shut against him, succeeded in making
a rarest, which cdvered him with glory.
MARCH 18.—It is said that by the Ist of May next
great changes will be effected in the organization of
our national army. The light cavalry, it is said, will
be augmented.
The Duke of Wellington had not yet arrived at
Cambray the day before yesterday, though he was
expected every moment. After having inspected the
right wing of the army of occupation, and given all
the necessary orders for the definitive organization of
all the cantonments, his Grace] will return to Paris.

There are reasons for believing that he warmly inte-
rests himself in the fate of the three English Gentle-
men who are going to be tried.
Among the different subjects which the Can,
Diet will have to deliberate upon at Fgankfort, is
what relates to the strength and composition of the
garrison of the fortress of Luxemburg in time of
peace. The inhabitants wish that it might be wholly
composed of National troops.

Private letters from London tell us, that abovit
three hundred passports have been delivered for Eng-
lish families who are coming to Brussels—.they are
almost all of the richer classes, and amount to about
one thousand persons in all. .
Letters from Paris say, that the new work of Mr.
de Pradt upon Spain, which will appear in the course
of April, will contain information of high import-
ance, and hith.erto little known, concerning the ne-
gociations with which be had been charged by Bo-
naparte.

The ci.devaat Archbishop of Mechlin has sold his
Manuscript at an enormous price. , It is affirmed
that this last work, added to the produce of the Ens.

HAGUE, MARCH IS.
M. Cambaeeres, the ez•Chancellor of France, is
going to Rotterdam, where he will finally settle. It
is known that this famous personage is not compre-
hended in any list of proscription, and that he is not
, among the number of the regicides banished by the
King of France.

ROME, FEBRUARY M.
The Spanish Ambassador, who is charged by his
Court to defend the interests of the Queen of Etruria,
has lately addressed several notes relative to the
Duchy of Parma, to the Austrian Ambassador, but
the answers he has received have not been very satis-
factory. It appears that the Austrian Court desires
to have as few neighbours as possible in Italy. Spain
has caused notes to be delivered to the Ministers of
the other Powers to interest them in this affair. The
cause of the Queen of Etruria seems, however, to be
not much favoured at this moment; and it is proba-
ble that that Princess will accompany her august pa-
rents to Spain.
MILAN, MARCH 1.

Our putts publishes the new division of the pro.
vines of the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice.

BERLIN, MARCH 4.

Field-Marshal Prince Blucher is rapidly recovering:
be does not concern himself with the political affairs
.of Prussia, and has never desired to exercise any sort
of influence in the hosiiess of Government.

General Count Gneisenau commands our simy on
the left bank of the Rhine, and has never been em-
pkled in matters of politics.

TOURNAY, MARCH 14.

The Archdukes John and Louis arrived here yes•
today at noon, and were immediately waited upon
by the Civil and Ecclesiastical Authorities. To-day
they have visited the Cathedral, Ste. We hope that
they will remain here for some days.

COLOGNE, MARCH 14.

The German Paper declares positively that the
immense treasure in silver plate and jewels which is
going to be put .p to sale at Ststgard, belonged to
the Ex-King Jaime, and that it has been judged ad-
visable to apply these dead funds to his support, and
not leave at bis disposal (in the same manner as has
been done with his brother Napoleon) resources of
which be might make a bad use.

The efficacy of the Vote of Monday night becomes
every hour more apparent, and if Ministers and Par-
liament persist with res dation and energy in the new
course which k has rendered expedient, the country,
though not instantly, will eventually surmount its
present difficulties. The Army and Ordnance Esti-
mates have been postponed, foe the evident purpose,
of revising and amending them; the War Salaries of
the Secretaries of the Admiralty have been given up,
that is, the increase that had been added to their'
Peace Salaries, which it was intended to continue;
and other retrenchments are certainly contemplated :
among these the country will expect a large reduc-
tion of other salaries, and the annihilation of many
sinecures. In one word, the expenditure must be
-adapted to Our means. The country cannot afford
the wages at whkh some men rate their services: but
on the other hand, these men are notcompelled to serve;
if they do not approve of such remuneration as the
country can afford, and in consequence withdraw, the
country must e'en be contented with the services of su cb
as may be willing to take reduced wages. A reduction
in the price of labour is now the Order of the day : it
is a necessary consequence cf the reduction of wealth,
of the reduction in the demand for labour, of the re-
duction in the price of necessaries.
It may be believed that Ministers were strongly in-
fluenced by the state of Europe, after such unlooked.
for events, at the time they brought forward their es-
timates. They would have been culpable had they
overlooked this.

_ ,

But ever since that period events have assumed in
France an aspect favourable to the prospects of conti-
nued peace. It is singular enough that at the very time
that our Parliament was taking up the questi-n of
retrenchment, and to enforce it, rejecting the proposed
Income Tax, the Chamber of Deputies were occu-
pying themselves with the same object. Ministers
there, as here, were urging atastity, as their plea
for obtaining large supplies ;—and the Majority,
there as here, repelled the argument, demanding that
the estimates should be reduced to the scale of ability.
It is evident that in proportion as our neighbours put.
sue measures in unison with the hope of a prolonged
cceen,edour reasons for fearing its interruption must be '
. France, no more than Britain, can carry
ea a war, without a war-revenue. Her anxiety to
redoes the peace•expenditure, is therefore an answer
to the apprehensions of a hostile kind entertained re.
'petting France; and furnishes another inducement
for reducing our own Military Establishments to a
scale which, ,in other circumstances, some people
might not think advisable.

The Qom had a party on Thursday evening, at
which the Duchess of Yonx and Pnncess SOPHIA of
GLoncisvaa were present.
It is said the Quass will hold another Drawing-
room on Thursday se'nnight.
All the attendants who were discharged from the
Princess Cnatatorra's establishment at the period of
the commencement or the attachment which has led
to the union now so happily in train of conclusion,'
ate, it is said, to be again restored to their several
situations; their removal not having been occasibned
by any fault of theirs, or of any of them, but sugges-
ted by the policy with which anothei connection was
then pressed on her .Royal Highness. Sir GODERRY
Wimirta's Lady is the only one yet generally known
to be named to a place in the Court of the Princess
Cusatorra. - Lady Waseren has been particularly
recommended to this distinguished honour by the par-
tiality of the Princess CHARLOTTE herself. Her High-
ness's marriage will be solemnised at Caltoa.House.
