He now has a reliable source of intelligence about the palace, having formed an intimate acquaintance with Dr. Willis.—Since his last letter the Marquis D’Oyra has arrived as the new Spanish ambassador. Many contradictory reports from Spain leave us uncertain what to believe. A late report of tumults in Madrid has been followed by more dependable intelligence that the city is calm and that strangers can now enter it without permission.

Even the assassinating attack on the King of Sweden is spoken of with infinitely less horror, than it would have been but a few years ago.”—By the last English packet he received letters from Joshua Johnson stating that Johnson intends to resign as consul in London if Congress passes the consular bill in its present form.
