FROM THE ETOILI OF Nov. 23.

His Majesty heard mass in his apartments. His Majesty

Presented his letter of credentials to his Alajt sty in quality

DIMS FROM SPAIN.
MADRID, NOV. IS. -BY A COURIER EXTRAORDINARY.

The King of Spain has conferred the Order of theflolden
Fleece on Count Pozzo di Borgo, Ambassador Extraor-
dinary, from the Emperor of Russia, on which occasion lie
had the honour to address the King, in the French lan.
gunge, at the general audience on the 15th.
The following is an extract from his address:—
" SlRE—When the rebellion broke out against the sacred
rights of the throne of your Majesty, the EMperor, toy
angust master, perceived in his wisdom all tie extent of
the evils which the authors of this criminal attempt pre-
pared for Spain.
" The necessity of stopp'ng the fatal consequences of a
state of things,hecotne dangerous to all, made the Congress
' assembled at Verona resolve to put an end to it even by
force of arms, if the obstinacy of the disturbers of the
general tranquillity rendered this resolution indispen-
sable.

It was for France to take the initiative in this noble
enterprize. She has just accomplished it with glory, and
your Majesty is restored to your people and your allies in
all the plentitnde of your legitimate power, a condition
necessary to the happiness of Spain, and to the safety of
Europe."
The King, in his reply, expressed his satisfaction at the
friendship of the Emperor, said he would endeavour to
repair the evils which his people had sulfured, and tebtilied
his pleasure at the choice of the Ambassador to convey
their sentiments.

His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme, before he
leaves fur France, has named Lasuh-General Count Bour-
mont. General in Chief of all the French troops which
occupy the Peninsula. The Count Bourniont arrived at
Madrid on the 14th.

The King our Sovereign has testified his regard and
pleasure to Count Bourniont, and has decorated him with
the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Ferdinand.
The Gazette of Madrid of the lath instant, publishes in
its official article several addresses to the King from dif-
relent towns, expressing their joy at the deliverance of the
King.

It is now assertekthat the King of Spain will not go to
the Escurial before the 25th of November, and on the lit
December will be opened the conferences relative to the
situation of Spain. _ _

General lam, with his family arrived on the 18th at
Perpignan.

Pent., Nov. 23.—At one o'clock the King received the
Ministers—Prince Talleyrand and the Marshals of France.

American Papers to the 26th Oct. have been received
this morning, from which we extract the following :

(FROM A NEW YORK PAPER OP THE Vol ocT.)

Extract of a letter from Vera Cruz.—For several days
past there has been much alarm as to hostilities between
the Castle of tt. John and this City. Affairs progress to a
rupture, and we think it'probahle that the Port of Vera
Cruz will be dosed by the Mexican Government, and that
Alvarado will become, for a time, the place of business.

in a curious article upon the Spanish Funds this
morning, the New Times has told us a secret which very
well accounts for the restoration of despotism in Spain, and
explains the delight which the rattling chains, and the
restoration of the Inquisition affords in certain quarters.
lle says, " natural advantages never did any thing for a
" country without mend, and where is the mind of Spain?"
What! Dr. Slap! was there no mind in the unbounded
enthusiasm with whicls they welcomed a foreign banditti,
that came to destroy their independence! Was there no
iMnd, in the frantic delight with which they hailed the
absolute king, and cried, " down with commerce!" and
" death to the nation!" We, indeed, might contend there
was no mind in this—We, who think so little favourably of
a tyrannical union of Church and State, with a host of
foreign invaders—but with what sort of aspect can
the New Times adopt this opinion ? when it has applauded
three matters 1 to the very echo that did applaud again ?'
Did it not contend that the restoration of the Royal
Government was the " one thing needful." to restore order
to the finances. and effect to the natural advantages of the
country' And now this royal restoration has been effected,
because there was no mind in Spain, the very cause of
what is called success, is laid to the charge of the nation
as a fault of such immense mangnittle, as to make it for
ever wretched, and to keep it for ever poor! Nay so
determined is the New Times to make itself ridiculous, that

it quotes the Tines, to support its argument of the imbeci-
lity of the Spaniards,as a mitian ; and very cunningly asks,
after having abused the members of the Cortes, as a set of
the most impotent drivellers ever associated in a public
cause," Is there any reason to hope for much superior wis-
" dont from the King's advisers?" Certainly we thiult uot.On
the contrary, what of mind there was in Spain, was assuredly
ccncantrated in the revolutionary party. It did not chance
to suffice, either in quantity, or quality, yet it was all the
nation afforded ; aod, without foreign interference, it

might have done for all native demands : but the " King's
advisers" have no minds at all : and as the nation is con
fessedly without mind, we have the old result—when the
blind lead the blind. The shuffling of this wonderfully
intelligent Journal, both on the Spanish and Colombian
loan', is worthy the recollection of its city friends ; if the
unblushing advocate of the base assassination of a brave
man, can have friends any where. For a long period, it
eadeavoured to further the views of the speculators
azainst these loans. its columns were always open to
sinister reports, and unfavourable observations against
them ; and simply because they were raised to erect the
standard of liberty in ens country, and to put down despo_
tism in another. The Colombian bonds it described as worth
notbing—and the restoration of the royal Govornment in
Spain as the only thing that could confer any value upon
the Spanish bonds. The result has proved as the New
Times must have know it would, directly the reverse. 'f he
Colombian bonds are at a high price, in the natural confi-
dence that thenew republic will act even generously towards
those who have assisted it: —while the restoration of
Ferdinand has sunk the Spanish Funds almost to nothing ;
because it is Well known that a tyrant is never just, and
that Ferdinand is at once the most ferocious and the most
brainless tyrant in the world. For, notwithstanding the
aversion of the New rinses to the Spanish securities, when
the Church and Crown lands were the basis, it had a strong
hankering to persuade the moneylenders to take the base
word of Ferdinand for a new Ivan; trusting, that although
his finances were bad, yet as he meant to cheat all his old
creditors, he might keep faith with the new ones. Hut this
was too barefaced even for the Stock Exchange; and the
New Times as meanly drew in it, bores as it bad audaci-
ously put them out.

The Kingof Prussia has withdrawn the honours which
he had conferred upon Sir Robert Wilson. Our gallant
countryman is to blame for this. He should have renounced
all the distinctions he had received at the hands of
these hypocritical despots, when he embarked in the Spa •
nish cause; or rather, perhaps, when he found they were
hypocrites. There should be no terms kept between the
advocates of freedom, and these tyrannical authorities. If

Sir Robert hold any othrr foreign distinction, we hope
.he
will take care that he is not deprived of it.

HORRID OCCURRISCE.—Yesterday afternoon, an afflict-
iog circuntstauce occurred at the brewery of Messrs. Had.
. son and Gibson, Crosby Row, King Street, Southwarlc.
Gibson, one of the partners, who has nnhappily
leen for some time suffering under severe nervous irrita. lion, was missing for about an hour ; hut his absence
• excited no particular alum, until one of the men, per-1
citing some fluid streaming through the floor of a loft
above him, discovered it to be warm blood. An immediate
elimination took place, and the unhappy gentleman was
Trued weltering on the floor with his throat cut, and the
instrument of destruction, a razor, lying near him. Sur-
' gical aid was promptly obtained for him ; but it was deemed
moat adviseable to have him directly conveyed to Gay's
Respite!, where he continues without hope of recovery.
Harvest being now finished in this quarter, we have been
