The Standard of this evening gives the following as an
interesting extract of a private letter from Madrid. It will be observed that the Duke of WELLINGTON cuts an honourable figure in the intrigues of the Spanish Court.
"At a Court of Ministers held yesterday [the 2d instant], and presided by the King, the Count d'Ofalia proposed the question of sending a representative Sc Lisbon, in case Don Pedro should be successful. This question was strongly opposed by his colleagues, and particularly by M. Zea; who declared that hi:( intimate relations with the Duke of Wellington prevented his coming to a re- solution on that point until he had received instructions from his Grace. On the other hand, it has been decided that in case of Bourinont being defeated, he should be received in Spain."
