Mr.. Whitbread, who had given notice
OF motion on the subject Of peace for the
goth inst. stated yesterday that he should
wave II for the present, on account of the
Intelligence that had been received Of an
armistice having been concluded, which he
presumed had not taken place without lord
Cathcart and general Stewart (who were
officially resident with the allies on behalf of
this country having been consulted. It's
most probable that MIR. Whitbread is right
in his presumption. But there are some
who absurdy suppose that if any messen-
ger should arrive from the continent he
must be dismissed, our government having
no intention of assisting at any congress to
be held for the negotiation Of peace.
AS the armistice, we believe, has been
concluded with the knowledge lord Cath
cart, and as the object of the allies and of
Austria is certainly that congress should
be held for a general, not partial or CONT
mental peace, our government will scarcely
refuse 10 send British minister to repre-
SEPT this country at the congress. Itis pro-
bable that lord Cathcart will proceed to
Prague.

For the fourth time since the famous Cd
OF May, 1911, Che French massacre a.
Madrid have the French evacuated the
capital OF this country. Letters from thence
state, that the place was abandoned .abou,
SIX days ago. The troops retired with the
greatest precipitation and the Empeei-

He found the place completely sacked;
every thing valuable had been carried of
or destroyed The royal cabinet of natu
raj history, one of the most extensive in
the world, was culled of every thing rare
and curious; the palace stripped Of its
costly Furniture; the warehouses OF cloths
pundered. In short, every species of de-
probation, worthy of gothic ages, was COM
mitted upon the unfortunate town and in
habitants of Madrid. But their suffer-
inss arc probably at an end. The French
have retired never to enter the place again,
