MADRID. Madrid is situated about sis hun- dred and twentj .five mdes from Pari, on Urge plain, surrounded by high mountains without any. ramparts for its defence. It is remarkable for the temperature of its atmosphere, and was on that account originally selected as the ruyal residence. It is washed by the river Manzanares, over which two magnificent bridges are erected. There are seven thousand three hun dred and ninety-eight dwelling houses and about one hundred and sixty thousand inhabitants. The buildings are of brick, and the windows secured with iron grates, present a gloomy and sullen appearance. The streets are long, broad, dean and commodi ous, enlivened and refreshed at proper intervals with fountains. The mark et place is a square, surrounded with three hundred houses, five stories io height, and each is adorned with a hand some balcony. The bull fights were formerly exhibited in this place. The royal palace, now perhaps the residence of the duke of Angouleme, is ouly two stories in height. MADAGASCAR. Extract of a letter from a gentleman, dated "St. Dmit, jtorfeis JprilZl, 1833. -. "I spent nearly four months at Ma dagascar, and thus had an opportunity of observing the manners of tne people new to roe. 1 he IMaJagaah are . a sprightly race of- people, nd possess much, shrewdness and native intelli genceand I am convinced, that if the arte of civilized life, and the ad vantages of education, could be intro duced among them, they might vie in many respects with any people on the globe. But they seem to be deficient in steadiness and firmness of mind. Many of thtm are remarkably elo quent, and would excel aa orators, i his may be attributed to their fre quent practice of speaking in their Caber t, or meetings of their chiefs and principal men, where disputes are set tled, and justice administered. In size they equal Europeans or Ameri cans. They are generally well pro portioned, have agreeable features, and a frank, open air in the counte nance. Their complexion varies from olive to nearly black, The hair is curly, the nose is rather broader than that of the whites, and generally less prominent, and their lips rather thick er. But their appearance differs very considerably from that of the negroea oil the continent.
