" MADRID, SEPTEMBER 16.

" This metropolis was surprised on the morning of
yesterday, to find, that during the preceding-night
there had been a sudden change of three leading Mi-
nisters :—M. M. Pizarro, Garray, and the Secretary
of 'Marine; and that their Excellencies had been all
sent out of the capital at an hour's notice. The Mar-
quis of Cassairnjo, who married an American Lady,
is'Prime Minister ad interim ; and the portfolio of the
two others are also held pro tempera.
" M. Pizarro was supposed to have held great in-
fluence over the King, who consigned him to such
sudden disgrace. He has left Madrid with much
money, and they say his Lady has many diamonds.
" Conjecture, and more especially scandal, that
never fails to attend power in ex4le, ascribe many
muses for his downfall :—An overweening preJelic-
tion for America—The corrupt cession of the Flori-
das—a decided preference for Russian interests, &c.
However, th►s is certain, that his last festive appear-
ance was at the Russian Ambassador's, on the day of
St. Alexander, when he and his Lady were much ca-
ressed, and apparently without any apprehension that
their sun would so suddenly set.
" The King has appeared at the usual drive on the
Prado, and at Madrid no wonder lasts twelve hours."
The following is an extract of a letter from Irun,
dated the 12th September: •
"Tile Government has received official and very detailed re-
ports respecting the destruction of the army of General Osorio,
the loss of his artillery, and the dispersion of the few troops who
escaped the sword of the Insurgents, and were not taken pri-
soners ; but nothing has yet been made public about these mis-
fortunes, though they are no longer a secret to any body. Pri-
vate letters from various parts of our Colonies have brought very
alarming accounts in this respect, which are perhaps exaggerated
on account of the silence of the Madrid Gazette. 'Thus it is re-
' lated, that General St. Martin pursues his career of victory;
that the Insurgents are masters of the mines of Potosi; that
Lima, the capital of Peru, is threatened by them; and that
there is no force able to resist it.

" Another thing which causzs great alarm is, that the convoy
from the llavannah, which has been expected at Cadiz for this
month past, is not yet arrived. This convoy brings three mil-
lions and a half of piastres. The delay begins to make us very
cneasy. While we are in this anxious suspense the preparations
for the great expedition are carried on with extraordinary acti-
vity ; troops of all arms are on the march to Andalusia ; seamen
are drawn from all the ports, and the ships provided with every
thing necessary. Three frigates of 44 guns are expected every
moment at Cadiz, to make a part of the expedition ; so that the
fleet will consist of four ships of the line, six frigates, several
corvettes, and thirty large transports. It is hoped that this great
expedition will be ready to sai for Soath America in the course
of October. The preparations making by the officers, in con-
sequence of their instructions, have given rise to this expectation."

A Mail from Flanders, which arrived last night,
and another from Holland this morning, supply us
with the following articles of intelligence:

"A I X-l. A-CHA PEL LE, SEPTEMBER 25.

" Arrived bete Count Bernstorff, Prussian Minister of State;
Lord Castlereagh, the British M roster; the Marquis de Cara-
man, French Ambassador at Vienna ; and Prince Hatzfeld,
Prussian Ambassador in the Netherlands.

" Sam 27.—His Royal Highness the Prince Hardenberg ar-
rived here yesterday evening, on his return from Coblenta. The
Duke of Richelieu arrived yesterday afternoon. There are also
arrived in this city, and at Ilorcetti, M. Planta, Under Secre-
tary of State ; Messrs. Chad, Seymour, J. Cartwright, Parish,
Lord Francis Conyngham, Messrs. Gunning and Ward, attached
to the Embassy ; and Mr. Dishrowe, Secretary to the British
Legation at the Court of Denmark. M. Lutzow, Chamberlain
of Mecklenburg; Count Ojaro.vski, and General Baron Jo-
mini, Aid-de-Camp to his Majesty the Emperor of Russia ;
Count de Puckler ; Mr: Baring, Banker, of London ; knd M.
Rothschild, of Frankfort.
" MENTZ, SEPTEMBER 23.
" The Emperor of Austria arrived here yesterday evening.
He will stay till the 25th, and reach Aix-la-Chapelle on the 28tii."
" VALENCIENNES, SEPTEMBER 27.
" The Due de Richelieu, on his way to Aix la-Chapelle,
stopped two days at the head-quarters of the English Army at
Cambray. According to what transpires, the Government is
convinced that the Army of Occupation will leave France at the
end of October and beginning of November. This happy news
acquires a degree of certainty by several measures taken at the
head-quarters of the allied troops of the centre and right wing.
It is said that the English Government has hired a:sufficient
number of vessels to take from Calais and Boulogne the Engliah
army, shout 22,000 strong. It is even affirmed that the Legion
of the North, in garrison at Paris, which is remarkable for its
fine appearance, and the excellent spirit which animates it, is
intended to resume possession of Valenciennes, and will make
part of the garrison of this place. The moment of the littera.
don of the French country will be celebrated by public fetes
and rejoicings, for what truly French heart has nut sighed at
seeing the country occupied by foreigners ?"

" FRANKFORT, SEPTEMBER
" His Majesty the Emperor of Austria passed through here
yesterday, and received all the marks of honour that the short-
ness of the rime allowed. We learn that the Monarch arrived
yesterday evening at 31ayence,and will be at Ai:-la-tlaix•lle cvi
tke 28th.

6' Ills Majesty the King of Prussia ii expected to-morrow at
Ilanau, and proceeds directly to Aix-la-Chapelle, in order to be
there before his Allies. _ - .

We learn from htecklenburgh, that the Ordinance of the
4th March, 1813, respecting the prohibition of the importation
of various foreign articles, is abolished; because experience has
%hewn that this Ordinance has wholly missed its object. Au
exception is made with regard to succor (prepared as a sub,t?..
tut• for coffee) the importation of whlco remains prohibited till
further orders, as also that of foreign playing cards."

The Duke and Duchess of KENT were expected to
visit Aix-la-Chapelle during the sitting of Congress.
It is said their house at Brussels will be occupied by
the two Empresses of Russia, in their expected visits.
Gentian Papers.
The Ghent Journal mentions that a report is cur-
rent is Germany, that the Arch-Duchess' MARIA
LOII/SA has prevailed on her august father to support
a proposal which is to be made at Aix-la-Chapelle,
to remove NAPOLEON 10 a climate more suited to his
health, and where he may follow his usual habits.
It is added that Count LAS CASAS has drawn up the
Memorial to this effect; and that he has written on
the subject to the Duke of RICHELIEU.—" It is
possible," remarks the Ghent Journal, " that this
Minister, who is allowed to have elevated views,
may see that it is political to deprive BONAPARTE of
the interest attached to great misfortunes. NAPOLEOR
in fetters, and resigned m the midst of sufferings, ex- ,
cites admiration and pity. Happy, and without ap-'
parent restraint, he would not be less great, but less
dangerous, in the political sense of the word. All
the Journals, both national and foreign, which are
written without passion and meanness, have expressed
these same sentiments of justice and generosity which
nature has implanted in souls that are not depraved
by hatred and self-interebt.'

THE QUEEN.

" Kew, Eight o'Clock, Thursday Night.

" The feverish symptoms with which her MA.-
MIT was affected, on Wednes* evening, gradu-
ally subsided ; and soon after eleven o'clock she sunk
into an apparently comfortable repose, and slept for
several hours: she awoke, however, without the least
improvement in the general state of her health.
-" The Princesses, attended by General TAYLOR,
visited their improvements in the grounds, so early
as tea o'clock, and again at one.

" Between one and two Sir HENRY HAuronn re-
turned from visiting the Princess SOPHIA, at the
Castle, and immediately accompanied Sir FRANCIS
MILLMAN to the presence of her MAJESTY. She was,
however, in much the same state, and has so conti-
nued throughout the whole day.
" Her MAJESTY was again able to bear being re-
moved into the adjoining apartment; but the chair in
which she reposes is so admirably contrived for that
purpose, that the motion must be nearly impercep-
tible. At five o'clock her dinner was served up in
her boudoir, as usual, and she partook of it with quite
as good an appetite as on the preceding day.

" The Duchess of YORK visited her MAJESTY in
the coarse of the afternoon. Her Royal Highness
arrived from Oatlands in her curricle, drawn by a
pair of fine grey horses, driven by herself, and at-
tended by two out-riders.
" Soon after five, the PRINCE REGENT drove into
the Court-yard, followed at the same instant by the
Duke of YORK in his cabriolet. The Princes had an
immediate conference with both the Physicians, .and
afterwards joined the Royal Ladies in the Drawing-
room; and in about half an hour the Duchess of
YORK again entered her curricle, and drove off, on
her return to Oatlands. The ROYAL DUKE remained
to dinner with the Princesses. The PRINCE REGENT,
after visiting her MAJESTY for a short time, returned
to Carlton House to dinner.

" In the course of the day, the Princesses received
visits from. Lady BINNING, the Countess of CARDI-
GAN, the Countess of HAttcouwr, and Miss BErr.—
General Sir HENRY CAMPBELL also arrived at the
Palace with letters for her MAJESTY and the Prin-
cesses, from the Princess of HESSE-HOMBURG.

" Colonel DESBROW went to Windsor yesterday
afternoon.

" Sir HENRY HALFORD, Sir FRANCIS YIILLMAN,
id Mr. BRANDE, remain in attendance."
The following is the Bulletin of this day :
" Kew Palace, October 2.

" The QUEEN has again had several hour's sleep
but it does not appear to have produced any sensi•
ble effect nn the state of her MAJESTY'S complaint.
