• Extract of a .private letter from Madrid, Dec. 30 :—Our
absolute Royalists have been somewhat quieter for several
days pail, and the Liberals are allowed a little repose. The
• gentlemen of the Faith have relaxed their animosity against
the Coustitutionalists, and now complainly loudly of the
Ring, who, they say, has not rewarded them as they
. deserved. These complaints pretty plainly show, that the
men who pretend.to be the purest Royalists, are not pull•
tribal), devoted to the King. The French, too, have also
to twain a considerable share of this Royalist hostility.—
Daring the Christmas holidays a barbarous doggrel song
was sung through tire public streets, which had for its
chorus—
': Let Blacks and Whites! join heart and band,
" To drive all Frenchmen hour the land,"
The Government has definitively ordered all the bishops
arid archbishops who had repaired to Madrid to return to
their dioceses.
The finance department has undergone a great purifies'
tion. About IS of the principal clerks have been dismissed
sv it hen t any pay or allowance whatever.
i tar official Ga;:ate announces that all the officers who
served voluntarily in the national militia are dismissed.—
'l'6 is measure is lunch too rigorous, for under the constltti•
tioaal system a great number of these oaken were obliged
to serve, under pain of being marked out as enemies of the
.existing Government. Lieut. General Grimarest, late
Inspector General of 51ilitia, is appointed Capt. General of
Arragon. lie is succeeded in the former office by the Count
tie San Roman.
General Silveira, who is here in the character of Charge
d'Affaires from Portugal, maintains the greatest secretly
ri epecting the events %%hien have lately taken place at
Lithe n. Nevertheless, it is currently reported, that there
.s been a seditious ttttt vesuent in that city, tho.rgh nothing
positive is stated as to its consequences.
It is this moment reported, that General Bourmont,
commander in chief of the French army, has applied to
his Govergment for an additional num ber.of troops. This
step is nut at all surprising, tar the Spanish Government
do nut tranquillize the public mind by stopping the pers..
cuticula and repressing the false zeal art the pretended
defenders of the altar and the throne. Spain must soon
become the theatre of the most dreadful transaetions. It
is remarked that few days, pass in which some French
soldiers are not assassieated ; and the dispersion °lithe
army encourages the daring atrocity of a people who,
because they are Petered, believe themselves capable of
accomplishing any thing.
Travellers who arrive at Madrid state that the roads are
s..arcely practicable; there is every moment danger of
being stopped and rohlie,l. The couriers cannot advance a
sep without an escort. It seems that nothing short of a
miracle Call now Save
