London, Saturday, Septemb...
The Paris evening palpers of WVednesday, wh icb arrived 1ast nielht, inform us that the KING on that day heard mass in his apartmenit, and afterwards presided at a Couii. cil of Ministers, which sat from. noon till half-past ont o'dock. By the subjoined article from the Mnniteur, it will be seen that the contemptible French satrap, styled King of SPAIN, is not only obliged to rely on French bay- onets for supporting the vain pageant of his authority, bui is forced to submit to the humiliation of publicly thankinc the French Commander-in-Chief, for putting down a hand. ful of desperate men, whom his own tyranny and perf-ild had driren to rebellion. MIADRID, AuG. 27. The following is the translation of a letter from the Minister ol War of his Catholic Majesty, which annomunes to the General.in chief of the French army the satisfaction of the King of Spain al theretak-ing of Tarifa " Excellent Sir,-The king, my august ma.ter, liha heard witl marks of the most lively satisfaction, and with gratitude. the inter esting report which your Excellency has been pleased to communi cave to me, by your letter dated yesterday, on the affair of Tarifa. His Mlajesty has experience(I a lively pleasure in ac knoowledging, that the French army, always ready to answe to the confidence of its Sovereign and the hopes of his Allies, most intimately united, has distinguished its abode in Spain by exempla r discipline, and that it has constantly supported, with a courage and X devotedness without bounds, the cause of legitimacy. If any proof were still necessary to serve as a complimenit to thi efforts of the French army in this restoration of the legitimate thtron, of Spain, it would be found in the events of Tarifa, the extermina. tion ofthe rebels wlho had seized on that place and its island, anc the glorious results of this expedition. The conduct of the arm3 affords the most authentic evidence that the French generosity endu where acts f rebellion begin, Rnd that the criminal and foolisl bopcs of the conspirators of these perpetual enemies of the order and tranquillity of their country must vanish. Instructed by terrible ex. perience, of which they have just received a last lesson, they will bc forced to acknowledge that the title of rebel against the Prince is the amost execrable title in a legitimate monarchy. * The Ring, my master, fully convinced of this truth, ortdera ene tO address to yo?, in his name, the expression of his gratitude for the brilliant conduct which your Ex6ellesscy had not ceased to observe, as Cosmmander-in.Chief of the army. ' The Kintg orders me, nt the same time,lo make known to yoti, tlat he desires that all commanders, officers, and soldiers of your brave arm', should likewise receive, through your Excellency, the thanks of his Majesty. " The King especially expresses his gratitude to Lieutonant-Ge- iieral Viscount Foissac Latour, commanding the division of Catdiz, and to Count d'Astorg, Colonel of the 14th Chasseums, who com- roanded the expedition-against the rebels who had seized on Tarifs. %X His M ajesty, desiring at the same tin;e to makle a peculiar dis. tinction, and to recompense the importanlt services performed on this o6cation by mnarkb of his sovereign gratitude, has designed to confer on your Excellency, and on Lieutenant-4Gneral Viscount Foissac Litour, the grand.cordon of the Order of St. Ferdinand ; and to Colonel Count d'Astorg, the Cross of Ktdight of the third class of the same royal and military order. His Majesty desires be- sides, that youir Fixcehlency propose to hin thc ildividuals whom you shall judge worthy of military insignia. ".-On my part. Ale IC Vicomte, I feel peculiar satisfaction in mal-c ing known to your Excellency the decision of my Sosvereign, which gre"esthe hlgh esteem that his Afajesty feels for your merit, and that of the brAve Prencll army. In such1fi4ttering circumstances, I take pleasure in renewingeto your Execllency the sentiments of the hIgh- eat consideration, and pray to God to grant you long lire. (Sigiled) "JOSEF DE LA CRUZ.
