The letter* lrom Madrid paint, in glowing color*, the enthusiasm of the nation in favor of the constitutional sys tem, and the firm determination to make any sacrifice rather than submit to fo reign interference. The new levies are every where made with the greatest order and regularity; and in many places after the drawing t lots for the number required was finish ed, groups of young men cried out 'Met lit all inarch at once if the country has need of us." A general confidence is en teitained that in ease France should dt - elate war, Spain ha-, nothing to fear with respect to pecuniary resource*; it i? presumed that the immense amount Mf the national domains will be consider eJ as ample security lor any loan (hat may be lound necessary. Much reliance is placed on a neighboring power, w hich cannot see with indiflYrence the penin- \ kuta invaded by the French troops; and there is no sacrifice or concession which Spain is not willing to make in U\ur ot the power in question."

MU)M VALPARAISO. Tin- editor of the Baltimore Morning Chronicle has been lovouied wuh the following extract ol a letter, dated Valparaiso, Nov 25, 1822. I have just escapcd from one of the great* si dangers that I ever experien ced. On the night of the 19th inst. we wore visited by a terrible earthquake, whn h has laid tins fine place in ruins, and s'nakuii all Chili to its foundations. What tew hooses arc still standing are s j shattered that they can bo no longer tenanted. The inhabitants have all re tiled to the luiK and are living in tents. You cannot imagine the horrible con dition ol this place; there will no doubt be a famine, as provisions now arc jel ling at the m?'*t exorbi ant prices. About three hundred people have been taken out of the ruins, and every day two oi three arc found. I was sitting with some friends in my room when the first thing I heard was the falling of the roof ? and on rushing forwards. 1 lound it impossible to stand, the earth was in such violent agitation! I fortunately got into the street before the house fell ? the next moment the earth was tent asunder, leaving a tre namdout ihasai. The objects ou alfl tides, the screams ot (he dying t?nd the fugitives, and the ?lander whi? li sur? rounded me, filled my m-r j with t cl most awful emotions. At length I wasl delivered from danger by the interptwi lion of one of my friends ? and 1 have b^en living ever since on board a ship. Every two or three hours there is a ! nrw convuhiun of the earth, which I communicates itself to the vessels in the harbor. From a late London Paper. Signt qf the Timet. ?

On the 30th of January, ihe wile of Solomon Kabcn bold, of Weissenberg township, Le high county, Pennsylvania, cut off the head of her own child, an infant only seventeen days old. Her husband, who had been absent for a lew minutes, found his wife, on hi* return, silting at the spinning wheel, to all appearance very composed; hut a small chi d who stood by the cradle said to him ?? lathei, mo ther hat cut off the baby's head." At fit st lie paid no attention to this; but the repeated assertions of the child induced him to look into the cradic, where he ? found too full proof of the horrid deed 1 The consternation of the fithcr at this moment, can easily be imagined.
