Cadiz, March Odd, bring information
that Don Carlos left Madrid on the
10th, in company with the Duchess de
Beira, for Lisbon. They left the capi.

The important movement, which was
Expected by some of the public writers
IN Europe at our last dates, but which
was regarded as rather doubtful, has
therefore been made, and the results
must be regarded as favorable 10 the
best interests of Spain.
Carlos, the chief object of general
apprehension among the friends of lib
erty as well as the Queens party, is
now under the eyes, and in fact great
ly at the disposal of France and En-
gland, who by means of their present
advantages may have it in their power
to exert more important influence in
the Peninsula.
We further learn, that in spite of
the surmises of the late English and

on board the ship in which she arrived,
and preferred his services in obtain

family. Being a stranger, and friend
less, she acceded to his proposals, and
took board, by his direction, at tav-

lplace was found. Having made ar
arrangements with French family in
Gold street, he conducted her hither on
Saturday morning, and promised to
bring her trunk Immediately; but, in
stead of SO doing, he conveyed it to
one of the Newburg boats, broke it
open, took the silver, leaving the re-
mainder of its contents on board. In
the course of the afternoon his integri-.

cordingly employed to search for him,
who soon after arrested the fellow in
Walter Stevenson's pawnbroker's shop,
in the act of redeeming, with some OF
the stolen money, articles he had in
pledge. On searching him $95 was
found, which was identified by the girl
as her property. The trunk and cloths,
however, by this time were on their
way to Newburg. Dalong was COM

felony at the ensuing Sessions.
