From the Boston Daily Advertiser.
SPAIN.-A letter from Madrid, dated a.
bout the list of August, mentions that
conspiracy had been detected there Of ahe
Don Carlos party, the design of which was
to compel The king to abdicatc. By the
activity of the Superintendent Of the Poll
ice, il was broken up before it had time to
ripen. He went Immediately to the king,
who was at the Baths, disclosed to him the
plot, and told him that nothing would save
the country, but change of ministry, a
general amnesty, and convention Of the
Cortes as it was in the time Of Philip ".
1t was said thai the king, who is good
deal influenced by this minister, actually
prepared and signed the papers, and that
they were to have been published in the
Court Gazette the next day, but the Super
intendant had no sooner returned to Mad
rid, and was taking the necessary measures,
when he was followed by a courier order
ling him to stop the publication. The cler-
| gy in the mean time had offered ninety
millions Of rails to buy of the amnesty,
and it is probable that the kings Golfers
were too low to allow him to refuse the
offer. The affair was not definitely settled
at the date of the letter, and it was still
i thought that some changes would take place,
but it was impossible to predict what they
would be. The Portuguese constitution
alarmed the government exceedingly, and
had already occasioned some trouble in
some parts Of the kingdom, particularly al
Saragossa. At Madrid it remained per-
/ fec,ly Tranquil. The French papers which
contain Information from Madrid several
days later than tbis letter, announce that
the Duke q 'Infantado had resigned his sta
ton at the head of the cabinet. What
change ID measures this event was likely
to produce, we are not informed. ..s.4

wOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.


It is fact not generally known that the

most prudent management, the making Of

circumstances conspire to render the fact ip-
disputable; and unless some change should
take place calculated to improve this highly

immense capitals will be diverted from it, and

safe, although stranger to political strife
would infer from some Of its leading journals,
that the success of either one Of them would
ruin the prosperity and happiness of the peo-
pie. It 10 difficult to determine which Of the
parties maks the strongest claim to exclusive
republieanisn- each claiming it to himself
and denying it to the other. Old records are
hunted up by each, to prove leading opponents
to have been, formerly, federalists and each
claims that their own partizan friends of this
character have repented other political sins,
while even the outer garments Of the others
have not been changed. II is unnecessary to
enter public protest against such strife, for
the parties themselves, when the fever IS OF.
viii look back upon such rawlings with disgust,
and the present leaders win be as much aston
ished at themselves for using such means for
ensuring success, as they win be at the people
for being influenced by them. This party
strife, however, proves one fact incontestibly,
that the INAUGURATION Of the old democratic
and federal parties nthat state has been SO tho

the two present parties,-the Clintonian and
