A letter from Gibraltar of October the 18th states as follows: I am sorry I have no news to give to you—in my last I informed you of the total change of Ministry in Spain, and of the banishment of the Secretaries of State, War and Finance, on account of extensive speculations, and attempting to restore Charles the IV. to the throne; also of the appointment of our particular friend El Marquis De Casa Yrujo as the prime Minister of State, which office he now fills, and from which we may soon expect something new, particularly with regard to our political differences with Spain.
A discovery has recently been made of a deposit in the Bank of England, by the King of Spain, of 37 1-2 millions of dollars, which has given rise to a variety of suggestions.
Three Russian frigates arrived last week at Cadiz, as a present from the Emperor to his Catholic Majesty, perhaps by way of making amend for the rotten ships the former sold the latter last winter—we have yet to learn, however, whether the present be rotten or sound, and upon what terms the officers and crews are to get home. If as the others did, it will turn out an Irish present indeed!
Our squadron is at Syracuse.
