We have received the London Courier
as late as the 10th of last month.
King George the w. is announced az
restored to health, but required time to
recover his strength. He received the
visits of his ministers and foreign minis
tiers.
The Paris papers of the LIST of Febru-
AIRY were the latest received in London,
not SO late by nine days as those by the
Stephania. The editor of the Courier
is puzzled with the contradictory ac-
counts from Spain, but makes many ex-
tracts calculated to interest the public
of England, cautioniAg, at the same time,
his readers with this sort of news
1t does appear, however, that the insur-
gents, as they are styled, entered Cadz
on the 18th Of January. A decided
blow against the insurgents was, daily
anticipated.
1t is extraordinary, that the Madrid
Gazettes, down to the 9th of January,
are strictly silent as to the commotions
at Leon and its environs. But the hour

tending armies were in sight of each
other. So say the Journals, and they
give the positions of each with appa-
rent precision; but the perplexity Of
dates and accounts confuses us.]
The London papers give reports of
the loss of numerous lives by the giving
way Of the dykes in Holland.
The disturbance in Galway continued.
A letter from Mayo, of Jan. 81, says,
We are surrounded BY disaffection and
disloyalty, ;mputable to English agents."
The force Of the Russian army, last
year, made total of l,oS8,ooo men, in
Guiding 47,oS8 cannon.
The report of the death of TIr. Graf
tan is contraoicted in the Courier and
other papers of the sth ult.
The last account from the Princess Of
Wales mention her intention to return
to Pcsaro, in Rome. The death ofhee
father may alter her route 1t is as

The fast sailing ship Stephana, capt.
Burke, arrived at Ncw-York Oh Satur-
day evening, in IS days from Havre,
bringing letters to the 9th and papers to
the 9th Of the month. 1t was rumored
when she sailed, that the insurgent troops
of Spain had marched to Madrid that.
the guards of the king had turned against
him, and that he was ASSASSINATED
or bad DIED. 1t was also reported that

Paris, Feb. Is.

1t is asserted in letter from Madrid,
that the King of Spain has demanded of
the King of France an aid of 25 900 men
to reduce the rebels to obedience.
The Spanish Ambassador has address
ed a note to our government, requesting
it to cause the conduct of the Spanish
Libereaux, residing in Paris, to be OBJ
served, and to issue orders that no pass
ports be delivered them.
The latest accounts from Madrid are
to the 18th. A private letter of tina,
date states, ct that the commotion among
the troops destined for South America,
need not excite any alarm as to the tran.
quillity of Spain" Another letter says
+" No accounts from Cadiz-the govern
ment publishes nothing: all is alarm 81
They write from Bayonne, under date
of the 18th, that it was impossible to OBJ
tain correct accounts from .Cadiz.-
Among Other rumors it was said the
count dc Monteo was at the head of the
Instruction, and that many ba,talions OF
troops marched against the rebels, went
over to their side.

The news from Spain continues to be
alarming, as affecting the Spanish gov.
ernment. The insurgents arc said to
amount to $4,000 men, exclusive OF
many citizens, ready 10 take up arms.
A private letter says, " Cadiz is taken"
1t is affirmed that general Freyre is au-
rhorised to offer to the insurgents, in the
naae ofthe King, formal constitution.
1t is said, at the request of the Spanish
