MADRID, Sept. 26. O. S.

It is thought that the court, which is still at St. Ildefonso, will come to the Escurial in twelve or fifteen days. Count de Montijo is actually at court; and as Mr. Keene, minister plenipotentiary from the King of Great-Britain, repaired thither yesterday from Segovia, in order to renew with the Marquis de la Quadra, the conferences which were interrupted on account of that Lord's illness; we reckon to hear very soon whether the King will ratify the preliminaries settled at London.
