MADRID, DEC. s.—The various corps of the State'
bre eager to otter to the King their congratulations
on the occasion of the pregnancy of the Queen, by
the celebration of religious ceremonies for her happy
delivery ; her Majesty has advanced to her ninth
month; and for several days past the diplomatic
• corps have received notice to be in in readiness to
attend at a moment's notice.
Much has been said here, during these few days
past, of armed bands which are committing excesses
•in the quarter of Andalosia and Estremadura. It is
even asserted, that they are numerous enough to go
into the villages and demand provisions. These bands
are principally composed of soldiers, whom the feat
of embarking for America has induced to desert
I their corps. If we may rely upon the authority of
'several letters, a gang of felons who had been sen-
tenced to the galleys, and who were under escort
from Cadiz to Ceuta, had been attacked by these
• bands, which succeeded in liberating several of them.
arras, DEC. I.—The King experienced some days
ago a severe attack of a fever, but his health appears
re-established.
• Cut:l,3l.nel t, Nov. 20.—The Norwegian Diet
bag addressed to the King of Sweden two new de-
mands, which show how much the Norwegians con-
colt 01(.ir national honour'. They demand first, that
lo the Acts relative to Norway, as well as on the
coin destined. to circulate in this kingdom, the King
shall place the tide Of King of Norway before that
'of King of Sweden. The second demand relates to
'the transportation of the archives of Norway which
were transferred from Copenhagen to Steekho'im oat
' the cession of Norway to Sweden.
' The Committee, appointed to examine the policy
of making Christiansaud a free port, have decided in
the affirmative.
VIENNA, Dac• s.—The Emperor Alexander will
remain here ten days. Several regiments have re.
ceived orders to proceed to Vienna, to take part itt
the grand menesoeres which are to take place int.the
presence of the Emperor of Russia.
The Jewish banker M. Abraham UtTenheimen, who
comas called the Jonas of Stock-jobbers, has been de-
,solvent. This event has 'caused a strong
. among all classes. Well. informed mer-
had foreseen it for three mouths. The opera-
