Papers and letters were last night received from Madrid
t.‘ the I;tb inst. The Madrid Gazette of that date coo-
ns a decree of the Regency for establishing anniversary
homilies to the memory of General Elio, who was executed
last autumn in Valencia, the scene of his horrible cruel-
ties ant! atrocious oppressions. The same Gazette eon-
talns an account of the presentation of the Russian and
Prio‘-ian Envoys to the Regency, and the speeches which
tl•eir Excellencies made on the occasion. There is no-
thing in these speeches of the two northern Ambassadors,
or in the answer to them, which goes beyond what ap-1
rived in those that passed between the French Ambassa-
dor and t"e Regency. The severe captivity of Fee&
nand is lamented, and his spec iy liberation hoped for and
predicted in all.
The private letters from Madrid of the 17th are more
important than the Gazette. Accounss had been receir-1
rd from Port St. Mary of the 13th. The blockade of Ca-
diz h then began to be more rigorous. The vessels
that endeavoured to enter with provisions had been sunk
by the cannon of the French blockading squadron. It
was e.itealated that in ten or twelve days a bombarding
' fotilla would he formed fur throwing bombs into the
.ety. General Ilordecoult sent every day a boat 4ith I
. fresh water, vegetables, and meat for the King's table. I
The present had been accepted without any observation.
A Portuguese General had arrived at the Duke d'An.
gouleine's head-quarters from Prince Miguel, of Porto-
il, to compliment his Royal Highness on the success of
his arms, and to express Metopes of the speedy termi-
ca'ion of the cuntest. This messenger was instructed to
make to the Spanish Government a tender of the army
an I the navy force of Portugal to aid in restoring abso-
lute power to the King and the Inquisition to the church.
The Regency and his Royal Highness have taken time
t.i deliberate on this offer. An account had reached
Madrid Pons Seville, that Sir W. A'Court bad left that
citpeir Gibraltar on the 10th. No details are given.—
A near plot is formed for getting po ion of the King's
.person. The King himself is already in communication
' with the conspirators.
Extract from a letter, dated Corunna, July 6 :—" We
were oil our march with a detachuient of Grenadiers and
•Cnadores to join Murillo. when we fell in with Quiroga.
'at the bead of a considerable corps.; he informed us of
the foresees treachery (of which you, no doubt, have al-
• `ready had the details)., and ire returned to Corunna.—
Several of those who followed the brave Quiroga effected
. ••their escape from Logo by lowering themselves from tile'
stalls with ropes. Many more would have joined him,.
tad they •had it in thew power to elude the traitor's
guards. The soldiers throughout Galicia are real Con-
oitsreionalists ; and this was so well known to Alorilio,
- 'that, previously to his open defection, he had scattered
-them iuimali parties all over the Province. They have
since sent deputations to Quiroga, acknowledging Lim as
Commander-in-Chief, and execrating the conduct of the
other. Tire National Guard of this place volunteered to
march upon Lngo, or any other point where their ser-
vices might be deemed useful. The most cheerful
vity prevails here, and the works on the fortifications
proceed rapidly. Our friend O'C • • • bas left us for
; he is 010 bearer of despatches from General
Quiroga to Government."
Tile LATE Putairiiir TiiiinT.----71'he long range of
rooms in the rear are all levelled with the earth; the
interior of the front is also gone. It is not the intention
• of the present Noble Proprietor to erect a very. large
mansion. The banqueting-room is to be the principal
apartment, with drawing-rooms above. As to the
ground in the rear, that is to be converted into a grass.
plat, inclosed by high walls; in fact, like the one at-
tached to the Marquess of Stafford's residence in Clete-
land-row.—The Marquess of Hertford gave, as repre-
ented, 14,0001. for the premises.
itis said that the Proprietors of the Haymarket Thea-
tre have cleared 1,0001. by four nights performance of
sweethearts and Wives.
