SIR, THE Races, which happen here annually, have in general been esleemed, as having done good to the mercantile bu-> i- ness of this city. If this has been the case, it may safely be affirmed, that the ensuing present as good hopes of success as. if nut better, than those of former years. It is, however, my opinion, that these advantages should only be reaped by those in business resident in the town, and not hy persons who choose to come from other towns, and who intend to re- main only during the Meeiing. 1 therelore would now propose, that these itinerant charac- ters ( particularly Milliners) should either he altogether hinder- ed from entering the city, or be made pay a certain sum of money, for the liberty of the town, fixed by tho- e in authority, or by those in the city, whose occupation they intend to pur- sue. Hoping this will be carried into effect, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, A. Aberdeen, Aug. 13, 1823. Fyfe & Co. Union Street Smith.

SIR, SO ME m- mths ago the Hon. the Commissioners of Police for this city caused me. much agaiirst my inclination, to fur- nish what of my property fronts the street with Water Spouts, on the plea that the want of them was a public inconvenience, and that in the event of mv not complying with this their third injunction, the evil should be remedied at my expenee Now, Mr. Editor, what I aim at is ihis, are our Commtssioneis exempted from the laws which they impose on their more humble fellow. citizens ? If not, let me ask. why, while- ina public situation, in the vicinity of George Street, a house be- longing to a person lately, if not still a Commissioner, remains without this accommodation fur the dew of heaven? I was, nolens volens, obliged to yield my point, and provide a large quantity of spout at a large ex pence, for houses which are scarcely suitable for decent stabling, and situated in an obscure ' and much neglected corner of this city. This is only one instance I have taken notice of, but I doubt not many similar instances exist. Through the medium of your highly useful p. per, I would beg to suggest to a body of individuals chosen for the public good, al] should be placed ou an- equal footing, and that none, not even the Commissioners themselves, should be exempt from a law, which, in this wet weather, promises so much for the comfort of tlie passenger. Hoping that you will insert this in a corner of your paper, lam. y'urs, & c. A PETTY PROPRIETOR. Aberdeen, Aug 15, 1823. TOPOGRAPHICAL DESCRIPTION OF CADIZ AND ITS ENVIRONS. CADIZ, the handsomest, richest, and, most celebrated town in Andalusia, is built at the extremity of an isth- mus, upon a pile of rocks, which are washed bv the waves of the sea. On the inland side its ramparts aie Hanked by a regular fortification, which thus renders it one of the strongest places in Europe. ' The immediate environs are sterile, ex- bibitinnr in oeneral a sandv soil.— D O In Cadiz there are no fountains, but in almost every house there is a cistern to receive the rain water tiiat flows from the terraces. However, a oreat part of the population is forced to bring their water from Port St. • M arie, a distance of two leagues by sea and five by land. To the west of Cadiz is Fort St Sebastian, constructed in the midst of a ledge of rocks that extend ali round it to a considerable distance. The fortress is connected with the town by a, causeway hewn in the rock. It is flanked on the side of'he sea by an advanced battery and light- house. In order to avoid a bombardment similar to that which Cadiz suffered from the English in 1797, a cut, or corladura, has been made through the rock, on which the causeway runs, which allows the gun - bout* to pass from north to south without being obliged to double the reef ol robks upon whieh the fort is raised. About three hundred toises from Cadiz is Aguada, a circular re- doubt. It is called Aguada from being the place where ship's water. Tlie church of St. Joseph, built in modern times, is the parish church of the citizens of Cadiz extra muros, who reside in its neighbourhood in wooden houses, All about this place and Aguada it is a deep sandy soil, upon which, however they have contrived to raise kit- chen gardens that partly supply Cadiz with excellent ve- getables. Through these Sands there is a paved road, a Royal route. Ou the extremity of a tongne of land, on the north side of the isthmus, and halt a league from Cadiz, is the fort of Puntales, which defends the entrance of the port. It is surrounded by a great number of wood- en buildings fvllt- d with naval stores. Haifa' league far- ther, on the Same side of the isthmus, is the fortification called the Cortauura, constructed bv the Spaniards in 1803 It is situated in the narrowest part of the isthmus ; so that at full tide, when its walls are washed bv the sea, the breadth of the isthmus, is only about fifty or sixty toises Upon the southern side of the istliuins, a league from Cadiz, is Torregarda, a little fortress, s- unounded by a battery. IV< rn this signals from the eastern stations are transmuted to the city. All about Ljre is a deep sandv soil: From Cortadora the isthmus' becomes broad- er and more elevated, and about the mill of Santii. \ ez commence the salt marches, which are terminated by the Rio Aritio, » canal or arm of the- sjn, which formerly separated the Isle of Lcou' from that of Cadiz ; but its ourse having lifeeti'chokfet up bv aunt's, thesn two islatills new form but one. _ This Canal often overt) nvs in- to the plain, which is also inundated by the spring tides, and becomes impassable until the waters are again dried tip. There is a woo'den bridge thro. vu pyt- i; this canal, near which is i^ po. rnnfyll, called Do los . Mentloz. After passing this bridge, we find ourselves in the district of the Isle de Lebnvwhich is separated from- t< hecontinent . by ajra'? m df. rhe'sda, and the centre of winch is two- jeagaes frorrt.

A . reat pfiYt of the space between the llio' Ariilo ur.' d this place is mirshv and impassible: There is a stone bridge over ? hj> canal which is in front of this little town, that connects it with the road to Cacacca. When the Spanish Government retired to the Isle de Leon, in 1S10, this lmle towvn, th'enknqvi n bv the name of Sati Carlo*, was joined to the Isle de Leon, and both received the joint denomination of San Fernando, The powder magazines ot Fadricas are situated upon the bay, not far from the Rio Arillo. On the other side of the isthmus, nearly opposite these, are the powder magazines of Setina, situated upon a height two leagues from Cadiz. Torre , A4tn?- a tower situated upon a httL hill ; it is furnished with a telegraph that communicates with Torre C'ordo and Cadiz.— In tlie neighbourhood of this tower, and ' about the heights of- Setina, there is some excellent pasturage.-— Casena de Oseo, situated on the bav, not far rom the Nneva Potflacion de S. Carlos, is a magazine for Royal naval stores. Pufente dc Suazo is a' stone bridge which connects the Isle do Leon with the continent ; the tw: o extremities of the bridge are flanked bv redoubts on each side of the road, and protecred by trenched winch ( ill with water at the high tide. ( I'he soil all around Swam- py and impracticable; The onlv firm footing is On the paved road, and about three feet on each Side of it. Be- yond this, to a considerable extent, are salt marshes.— Santi Petri is a little castle on an ir. U- t, a short distance from the shore, lite inhabitants cross alow wnfpr- mark, bv jumping from the point of one rock to the other, but this requires practice as well as precaution. The arm of the sea that separates the Isle de Leon from the Con- tinent can onlv be entered from the south, and that not without considerable danger, even to small craft; from the multitude of'stniken rocks. La Caracca ia the prin- cipal naval arsenal ; one of its fronts is towards tut bay, and the other upon the fa'iral of the Isle de- Leon ; here are the principal wet and. dry docks, magazines of naval stores, & c. 1 lus important establishment is completely isolated, and be, wet n it and the high road there is no- thing but salt marshes,- which arc altogether imputable. Puerto is a little town on the northern side of the bay ; it is divided in. two by the. high road'. Castillo de Matagorda is a fortress an the north shore of the bav, and opposite that of • Puutales, with which it de- fends the entrance of the fort. It lies on the border of* a creek c lied Cano de Trocadero, and on the other side of this creek, is the chateau Fort Lmz, both of w hich serve to gtiard the entrance of the . c'reefc. as well is that of, the port. Beyond these is the Rio San Pietio, an arm of the sea, which, during the high tides, over- flows, and renders the country impassable. There Is over this canal a bridge of boats. The town of Port St. Marie is built Upon the right bank of the Guadak- te, and nearly opposite Cadiz, w hich it partly supplies with water and provisions. There is a bridge of boats across the Gnadalete, which joins the royal road to Xercs, far as which the river is navigable. On the extremity of the right bank of tiie GuaJalete, where it touches the bav, is situateif'the Castillo Santa Catherine. This fortress is surrounded bv ledges of rocks. It is exactly opposite to Cadiz, with which it forms, tiie mouth of the port, but without being able to defend it, as the distance across i? is too great. However, the passage through is a verv dangerous one for those not acquainted with the sunken rocks. I trust that this account of the difficulties that lie in the waV of an attempt to approach Cadiz will en- able your readers to form au opinion of the little chance there is of its being taken— at least speedily, if the inha- bitants are but true to themselves. At all events, it will enable them, when they read of an alStir at am* of the places here mentioned, to figure to themselves some idea of its situation and nature. iND'cfsTRLOUS AND CLEVER MICE.

Tn the tenth Canto, the Noble Poet thus alludes to his old quarrel with the Edinburgh Review : And all our little feuds, at least n\\ mine. Dear Jeffrey, once my most redoubted foe, ( As far as rhyme and criticism combine To make such puppets of us things below ) Are over. Heie's a health to " Auid I. ang Sync !" I do not know you, antl may never know Your face— but you have acted on the whole Most nobly and I ow n it from my soul ! And when I use the phrase of" Auld Lang Syne J" ' Tis not addressed to you- ythe more's the pity For me. for I would rather take my wine With you than aught ( save Scott) in your proud city, ltut somehow— it may seem a schoolboy's whine, And yet I seek not to be grand or winy, But I am half a Scot by birth, and bred A whole one, and my heart flies to my head- As Atild Ling Syne !" brings Scotland, one and all Scotch plaid-.. Scotch snoods, the blue hills, and clear streams ; The Dee, the Don.

I still remember, though perhaps I may misquote, the aw ful proverb which made tne pause to cross it, and yet lean over it with a childish delight, being an only sou, at least by the mother's side. The saying, as recei- pted by me. was this ; but I have never heard or seetr it since 1 wa3 nine years of age : " Brig of Balgounie, black's t your ten,' Wi' a wife's ae son. aud a tnear's aefoal, Doun ye shall fa* !" « ——— f The noble Lord has here made a slight mistake.

The legendary proverb runs thus—- « Brig of Balgownie, wight is thy tea,' Wi' a wife's tie son, and a mare's ae foal, Doun shall thou fa'!" success in all committees of both Houses of Parliament, and was practised on occasion of the Queen's trial. We hold to our opinion, that Jury Chambers of the Court of Session should be established, for trial, by means of Juries, of cases that shall begin and shall end with them. Two Jury Chambers trying thus, and a third proceeding according to the present forms ( a sort of Equity Court of Chancery), would give the country the benefit of both modes, and the election between thctn. These ihree Courts sitting daily would be amply sufficient for all the business of Scotland. Lord Grenville, when he proposed his three Chambers, made them sit alternately, lhat is. each only every third day. But were the three Courts to sit daily, they would get through the business of the country without that strange, useless, and worse than useless establish- ment, the Outer- 1 louse. If Lord Grenville did not commit a great error in thinking that alternate meetings were enough, it clearly follows, lhat. with daily meetings of the Courts, ihey w ill be adequate of themselves to the public business, without the aid. of an inferior tribunal. It is really too much to see an unfortunate, who has won his cause before the Sheriff's Sub- stitute. carried, by appeal, before the Depute, then transferred to the Lord Ordinary on the Bills, afterwards presented to the Ordinary in the Outer House, then introduced before the Lords of the Inner House, and, last of all, having triumphed in all these quarters, invited into the House of Lords, to be tortured with doubts, and perhaps remitted back again to the Parlia- ment Close, where all has to be done over again. That man. we say. therefore, will deserve well of his country who shall abolish any one of these numerous stages, on which, at intervals, the prize fighting of the law is now maintained It would be doing the country a g'eat benefit to put an end to the Outer House. Its business, so far as it is of mere form ( and much of it is nothing more.) can be well and better transacted by clerks aiid inferior officers, than in its present shape, with all the apparatus of Lords, Advocates, Writers, and their Clerks M. icers and inferior Vermin, who busy themselves on its trifles. But why, we would add, should persons engaged in law suits he taxed, as at present, with the support of tbe Courts ? They surely suffer enough when they have to pay their Pro- curators. Judges, clerks, and officers, are the necessary ap- paratus of courts; and some are already paid by the country. All ought to be. Advocates and Writers to the Signet are no necessary pait of the judicial establishment; but every man finds it better to employ them ttian to mismanage his cause himself. A person who goes to law, therefore, does not grudge to pay his advocate or bis agent, because, in the present division of labour, he finds that his advocate and agent can conduct his cause be ter than he could himself, in the same way that he finds it heller to pay a shoemaker or tailor for their fabrics, than to Construct a coat or a pair of shoes for himself. But the case is otherwise with courts and iheir officers. They are a part of the public, the national establishment; they are an in- tegral part of the Government, whose business it is to provide for the administration of justice, though it is not a part ol its business to superintend the management of each parly's cause. With great propriety, therefore, and strict principle, the whole establishment of the Jury Court is now paid by Govern- ment, So. likewise, should be the whole establishment of all courts. The reliel arising from this course to suitors would be prodigious. " But we must release our readers from this heavy subject, though we would fain stir them up to an interest about it. They may he assured— to whatever degree they may now be disposed to indulge in bitter jokes on the profession— that all the better part of it will beaitily rejoice in anv measures calculated t< render law cheap, expeditious, and certain, for there is scarcely any member of the profession, who has not found in his ex- perience that rights, which would have become the subject of discussion in a court had not the ' aw been in all respects so op posite, are in numberless instances abandoned and thrown away— a circumstance just as hurtful to the profession as it can be to individuals. That the law can be made, iu the majority of instances, both cheap, aod expeditious, and certain, we do humbly think, and we hope the Commission will strive to verify our opinion."— Weekly lournat.

I have the honour to acknowledge the raceipt of your letter* Measures of reconciliation must always lead to a good result, when the parties meet with friendly intentions, and mutually endeavour to remove difficulties by means of investigations and explanations. A proposal that has for its object the termination of so much calamity, is of too great magnitude to be risked to the miscon- ceptions which might arise out of the inaccuracy of written words, more especially when the communication is made through the medium of translations. As however so manv difficulties are opposed to a personal conference, I will not incur the responsibility of not making a communication that may open the road to the object de- sired. I came to Spain as a partisan of no party ; the friend of all Spaniards, and only the enemy of the policy of the French Government, which disregards the rights of an independent nation. Since I arrived in Spain I have invariably acted on the same principle, and 1 refer not only to my actions, hot also to the language I have always used to all parties, antl with persons who might be considered as their representatives— a truth you yourself are not ignorant of. Following this path. I have acted conform ibly to the wishes of my friends in England, and tbe general sentiments of my country • en. It is not necessary to refer to the transactions of the war, or point out what hopes, expectations, and opinions have been realised or frustrated, in older to justify my proceedings; it it will suffice to inform your Excellency that I Conceive the moment is arrived when an exertion ought to he made to ter- minate the war. and my first opinion is that of a favour- able result. Ambition or intoleiance alone can prolong its duration. All those who in this province have power and influence, with whom I have conversed, wish an honourable peace, and I am sufficiently authorised to give this assurance. 1 can also say, that according to the last news from Cadiz, the govern- ment has the same wishes, as for this purpose they have already placed themselves in communication with the British Minister, Among the parties who cordially wish the welfare of their countrv ( and the rest do not deserve notice, as they have no power) the initiative in a negociaiion is the only formidable difficulty that presents itself, and its details would meet with 110 opposition that cannot be removed by discussion or friendly interference. Under these circumstances, I believe that the enclosed Pro- posal will mpet with the concurrence of all patties, and I have the satisfaction to say, it has met with the approbation of all those persons of this country to whom I have shown it, among whom are some to whose opinion your Excellency would at. tacli value, in consequence of your friendship and their recent arrival from the seat of Government. I11 order, therefore, to terminate, as soon as possible, a con- flict in which success is a misfortune and victory can confer no glory. I should propose that, until an answer can be obtained Sampayo.

Major Bristow has been obliged to return here, as he was unable to make the steam vessel wait. I regret being unable to prevent your Excellency from having the iuconveni- | ence to come to Puente de Sampayo, as the trip to Puentevedra is very dubious on account of the uncertainty of tbe winds, which would prevent me from arriving there at the time ap- pointed; but if your Excellency, 011 account of your occupa tions, cannot come to Sampayo. I will see if I cannot mount a mule, and goand see you in Pontevedra ; aud for this pur misunderstanding, in the mean while, among the opposite parties, and if your Excellency wishes it, I w ill be the bearer of the proposals to Caliz Whatever may be the result of this proposal. I shall have the satisfaction in having complied with my duty in proposing it— a duty to Spain and to humanity, and I do not dread any responsibility that may attach to my conduct. — I am. & c.

A negot'iation, without such a security, would have the ap- pearance of yielding to force, and the consequences, in this case, would be fatal to the authority of the Government; anarchy most probably would follow, and its consequences under existing circumstances, might lead the nation to the most deplorable disasters ( Signed) R. WILSON. Vigo, July 30, 1223. TO GENERAL WILSON. I have received the letter and accompanying documents you sent me by a flag of truce. I now repeat what I have al . vays said, peace and national honour are the objects of my constant, wishes. To obtain both one end and the other it might pos- sibly he advisable to enter into negociations, but 1 am neither authorised for it, nor can you offer any guarantee that any of the agreements made would tie executed, as I have not hitherto learned that you are invested with any public character. The suspension of our operations would have 110 other effect than to prolong the evils of this country, which is harassed, op- pressed, and despoiled io the name of liberty ; anil if there are any negociations pending for the termination of war, my occupying Vigo can he 110 obstacle. This is all I can answer to your attentive letter. ( Signed) Count C. VRTIIAGENA. Head- quarters, Salcedo. Aug. 1, 1823. A Correspondent in the Morning Chronicle supplies the following explanation of Sir Robert Wilson's com- munications with Morillo: " Sir Robert Wilson reached Vigo on the 25th July. At that time all was in alarm and consternation at that place, in consequence of the defeat and dispersion of a lorce rather imprudently sent to attack General Morillo, at the Bridge of Sampavo. Morillo had moved after- wards to Redondela, onlv two leagues from Vigo, his detachments occupying Soligno, a point that intersect- ed the communication with Orense, and connected him with the factious ofTuy and Guardia. " From Redondela he had sent a summons to the town of Vigo to surrender and the Junta was actually sitting at the moment Sir Robert arrived, to return an answer, with the undisguised intention of capitulating, there not being more than 500 men in the town, in cluding the volnntcci' 3. " Such was tbe actual state of affairs at Vigo when Sir Robert Wilson reached that place, and under cir- cumstances ( namely, his wound) which rendered anv mi- litary exertion on his part impossible. His only object, therefore, was to gain time, and but one mode of doing so presented itself, viz. ncgociirtir. il. He renewed in consequence a correspondence with Morillo, for the avowed purpose of obtaining an armistice, if possible, upon an enlarged scale; but at all events, to procure such a suspension of that General's operations as might give time to restore order and confidence at Vigo, and facilitate the arrangement of the forces in that neigh- bourhood. His correspondence, it will be perceived, commenced 011 the 25th July, and was terminated bv General Morillo's answer, dated near Ponte Vedra, August 1st. Thus the object of Sir Robert Wilson was partially obtained, and advantage was taken of that suspension of hostilities, 011 the part of General Mori'ilo, to frame arrangements and adopt measures with a view to future contingencies. " That tlie cnemv should accept such propositions could hardlv be expected ; bv the result, therefore, Sir Robert Wilson's object was so fur realised, that hostile operations against Vigo were suspended from 25th July to the 2d August, and all that time gained from the rnemv for further arrangement and disposition of the Constitutional forces under Generals Vigo and Palaren. It was a ' ruse de guerre,' ably plaved off at a moment of distress to serve a temporary purpose, and in this light onlv will any man in his senses view the whole proceeding." FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

I received your letter delivered to me by Captain Arnares; at the same time, Brigadier- General I! omay has proposed to me in order to prevent the spilling of Spanish blood, to con- sent to a suspension of hostilities, which shall not extend to the French, nor 10 those called the Factious. as if the latter were not Spaniards He tells me this is the object of the interview you wish to have with me; and I cannot now refrain from manifesting to you that it is impossible for me to conscnt to any such armistice. In a dispatch of the day before yester- day. I told Brigadier. General Romav my last detennination. No one wishes more anxiously than myself a cessation of that civil war which devours us; but there is 110 way to terminate it, but by compelling, by force, those to throw down their arms, who neither listen to reason nor consult ihe w- ill of the people. Their whims, passions, and the interest of the as- sociation to which Ihey belong, are the only guides of their actions; anil, consequently, they are incorrigible. I now re- peat what I told you on a former occasion ; possibly some party or other has an interest in the distresses of my country being prolonged, without any object or end : possibly this party acts in good faith ; but 1 will never consent that this country shall bs scourged in the way of an essay. The. will of the The great obstacle tn the pacification of Spain, consists in the presence of afi'thvader who demands that same pacifica- tion, with arms in his hands, in favour of a party that depends 011 his success. England offers her mediation, but without demanding the departure of the invaders. Are there any means to establish equality among the belli- gerent parties, without demanding the evacuation of the Spa- nish territory ? The occupation, pro forma, of a Spanish fortified place like that of Corunna, or Vigo, by the British Government, as the mediator on behalf of Consiitution. il Spain, might serve to counterbalance sufficiently the parties, and facilitate concilia tion, by saving the honour of the Constitutionalists, and af- fording to all sufficient guarantees. It is impossible to treat with honour but when the two op- posite parlies are equally sustained, more particularly when the object is to conciliate the dissensions which divide a country common to all, into pieces. ( Signed) R. WILSON. Vigo, July 30, 1823. ANOTHER. The evacuation of the Spanish territory possibly would be opposed by the Regency of Madrid, in consequence of t considering that their security might be implicated without the force that now sustains them. Without the guarantee I propose, the Government of Cadiz would riot inspire sufficient confidence in the nation to induce them to enter into a negoctation that may end in a treaty of peace.

A telegraphic dispatch, dated from the head- quar- ters at la Carolina, the 6th of August, announces that Ballastcros has given in his submission, and acknowledg- ed the Regency."— Journal des Debuts. ARMY OF THE PYRENEES— BULLETIN. Lieut- General Molitor. Commander in Chief of the second corps of the army, has addressed to his Royal Highness, by a courier who left Grenada 011 the 1st inst. a report upon the course of his operations since the capture of Lorca. General Vincent, whom he had left at Murcia with a bri- ade of infantry and another of dragoons, having learned that a column of 1500 had gone out from Carthageria, on the 1 8th, to obtain provisions and levy contributions, marched" imme- liately to attack them. He came tip with the enemy's rear- guard at the village of Roda ; and his dispositions were so well combined, and executed with such vigour by Colonel Ilautpoul, with a battalion of the 4th regiment of ihe line and iquadron of the 5th dragoons, thai the whole rear- guard, con- sisting of three office- s and 100 privates, all old soldiers of the regiment of the Marine, were made prisoners. Upon arriving at Gaudix on the 24', h, with the advanced- guard of the division LoVerdo, General Molitor learned that the enemy's army had at length taken a position to await him. General Zayas, who commanded a separate corps was at Gre- nada ; Ballastcros and Bilanzar, w ith the main body and best troops of the army, had just advanced, as secretly as possible, from the environs of Grenada and Jaen, and had marched to Guadalhuertona, upon the right of the road from G. tudix to Grenada, hoping that tbe 2d corps, in ignorance of their movement, would be compromised in advancing imprudently upon the latter town, but General Molitor immediately made arrangements to attack them 011 the following day. On the 25th he marched, with the w hole of ihe division Loverdo. from Guadix upon Moreda; ordered the 6ih division, under the command of General Pelleport, to advance upon Guelago from Gor, and prescribed to General Domon, who came up to Baz « , to march upon Almais. The enemy, who reckoned upon their cavalry, hastened to send twelve hundred of those trpops in advance to Guadalhuertotia, upon which point we had only 400 to oppose them, and these had marched twelve hours. General Bonnemains, who had the command of this advanced guard, did not hesitate, however, to begin the attack. The Spanish squadrons stationed in advance of ( he town and those which occupied it wete first routed, and then three re- gular charges were made upon 1000 cav dry, who, after offer iug an obstinate resistance, were thrown into disorder, routed completely, and pursued two leagues beyond Guadalhuertona by the chasseurs of Ihe lOth and 19th regiments, supported by a company of riflemen of the - 9th light, who came by a quick march to * b* re - in the success. Never were shouts of Vive le Itoi more loud and cordial. The enemy left the field of battle covered wiih killed, wounded, and arms. We tool: from them a standard and made 200 prisoners, among ivhom are three Lieut - Colonels and eight officers. O11 our side two chasseurs were killed, and two officers as well as eight sub- officers or chasseurs, were wounded. General Bonnemains had a horse wounded under hitn. Our regiments also had many horses killed or wounded, hilt their places were immediately filled by those taken from the enemy. This brilliant action of otir ca- valry does the greatest honour to Lieut - General Bonnemains, and the troops under his command ; among the persons upon whom he be- town commendation are— Colonel de Scran, antl Colonel de Choiseul, commanders of the 10th and 19th chaj. seurs, who led on their respective regiments in the most vi- gorous manner. After this glorious battle, Ballastcros having still nearly 12,000 men. retreated upon Huelma, anil made several marches and counter- marches. General Molitor followed all his move- ments ; having knowledge that on the 27th lie had fixed his position in the steep mountains of Campillo de Amnas and lhat he wished to defend himself there, he resolved lo march upon him. Being unable to obtain subsistences from any place but Grenada, which was occupied by Zayas, General Molitor on the 27th, sent General Ordonneau upon that town with five battalions and a regiment of cavalry. General Zayas retreated at his approach, and agreed to leave there a battalion to maintain tranquillity till our arrival; but when our troops appeared, this battalion joined them ftnidst shouts of Vive le Roi ! The inhabitants ofGienada, who are distinguished as Royalists, expressed the most ardent joy at the entrance of the French battalions. The different detachments left by General Molitor upon the line of communication, and that which he had just ma. le upon Grenada, had reduced his force to 14 battalions. The eqemy had more than double the number, and among their troops were many old soldiers; but General Moliior. fully confident of the intrepidity of his men, assembled them Ot. Motlteltgicar at an enrly hour on the ttmrning. of the 28th, hnving made all his dispositions forthe attack on the preceding day. He directed the division Loverdo on the right, so as to take possession of the heights which command Catnpillo, and put him- elf at the head of the 6th division, commanded by General Peilepori, which was followed by the troops of Gen. Demon, and proceeded by the left to take the enemy a revers. -, After an hour's march General Molitor came up with a re- connaissance of ICO cavalry, who, being stationed on an etnin-' ence, fired upon the head of his column. Crtpt. Lanferni, of tbe 20th regiment of chasseurs who commanded the escort, rushed immediately upon the enemy and cut them to picccn, A Lieut.- Colonel, three Officers, and ten cavalry remained ort the field of battle pierced through with lances. We made fiS teen prisoners, and an Officer and 30 men, all well mounted, came and surrendered afterwards. The march of the column was effected so simultaneottsly that they arrived and began the attack at the same time. The infantry of Ballnsteros crowned all the heights, and his reserve troops advanced rapidly to turn the right wing of General Loverdo. But that General, whose excellent dispositions and vigour of execution General Molitor states he cannot suffi- ciently praise, had taken his measures. A battalion of rifle- men that he had formed, supported by ihe Jst and 11th regi- ment of the line, in close tolumn, and which he led with Gen. Corsin against the enemv's left wing quickly repulsed them with a considerable loss, and made themselves masters of the position ot Las- Alpiincles. At tbe same time General Bonne. mains, with the 4th and 8th light, made a successful attach upon the mountains which command Campillo. Upotr the left, where General Molitor was, the enemy sought 10 defend the approaches to Campillo; hut General St. Chamans at the head of the 4th and SOTH chasseur-, effected several brilliant charges, sabred and routed all that offered opposition to his passage, Rod our troops entered Campillo. amidst the ringing of bells and the acclamations of the inhabitants, who. un er the enemy's fire, came to point out the by- ways by which wu might overtake and intercept diem, General Pelleport's dispositions were excellently made, and he was well seconded by General Buchet, with the 2- hli and 39th of the line. The enemy, n> first driven out from Campillo. fled in dis- order in the direction of Cainbil ; but being obliged to pass under the fire of the division of Loverdo. they were constrain- ed to throw themselves upon the left, where General Pelle- poit, after having carried the steep position of EI. Ga, tillo. and being supported by the brigade Faverot and ihe division Do- mon, occasioned them fresh loss to a very considerable extent. The fire was extremely brisk upon all points, principally 011 the part of the revolutionary iroopn, who had the advantage ol' occupying the summits. Our soldiers, whilst climbing ihe rocks, found difficulty in reluming the fire; but having reach- ed the summits they made anjple return, and 110 part of the enemy could resist the briskness of the attack. On the side of division Loverdo. which to engnge with very considerable forces, the enemy, whose lines were broken several times made great efforts to form them again. It wa^ tlien lhat the batta- lions. of ibis division intrepidly executed several charges with the bayonet, destroyed in great part the light regiments of" Arragon and Valentin, and captured two Colours. All die positions were carried in succession. This battle continued until night, which alone put an end to the pursuit ; and ihe enemy who only escaped total destruction by favour of the mountains which screened them from the action of our cavalry, retreated in disorder beyond Cambil, after having leli in the rocks 400 to 500 killed or wounded, and having lost 800 pri- soners, among whom are SO officer.. On our tide, we iiad 14 killed, including 2 officers, and 40 wounded In thi* number there are two Captains and a Colonel. On ibis bril- liant day, generals, officers, and privates displayed ardour to signalize themselves and prove their devotedness to the King. All those upon whom General Molitor bestows commendation cannot be mentioned here, but he particularly praises :—( Hero follows a list of names.) The defeat of the 28th inst. produced such discouragement in the enemy's army, that 1500 men deserted from it in Ihe night of the 29th. General Zayas has been separated from Ballasretos, who has gone into the mountains anil occupied Q'tesada, PaZo, Alcon, atld Cazola. He has before him General Foissac Latour, who has marched with all his troops to Baeza and Villa Carito; and as it is possible that he would endeavour to return into the kingdom of Murcia, Gen. Loverdo with his division has proceeded to Guadix, to observe his movements. Previous- to the action of tbe 28th, General Bidlasteros had sent persons to parley, lint his propositions were not accepted. Every thing leads to a belief that at this moment he has sent again to treat relative to his submission to his Catholic Majesty. Head quarter at Manianares, Aug. ,6, 1823.

Curial writes me, lhat on the SOth of July, at four o'clock in the, morning, the enemy presented himself ort ihe extreme left of the line of investment of Barce- lona. with 5000 men, six pieces of cannon, and 80 horses.— These forces were directed on St.. Marii. Their right was sup- ported by six gun- boats. A brisk fusillade tujk place from the sea- shore to the village of Clot. " The 6th light regiment, seconded by the 23d chasseurs, and two pieces of light artillery, attacked ibe enemy with tho accustomed bravery. He was forced to make a retrograde movement 011 several points. " Two pieces of artillery, under the orders of Lieutenant Carnot,- advanced by the road of the shore within half- gun shot, and fired with constant success on the enemy's artillery an 1 cavalry, and on the gun- boats. The fir. ng was very brisk at Clot. General Curial tells me that he led a battalion of the 19th, which he caused to be preceded by hischosen companies. The enemy being thus taken in flank, w. is put to ihe rout on this point. Our soldiers pursued him to the vety walls ut the citadel. The battle lasted several hours : theeneiny. repulsed with the greatest disorder, had 12 or 15 killed, and a hundred wounded. Our loss was four killed and 12 wounded. " According to all accounts, ATina, wboie health is still bad, is yet at Barcelona. I'he investment of that fortress by land is complete. Milans and Llobera, who were moving rapidlv bv Mont Blanc towards Santa Colouna and the Col. de Suitn Christiana, appear to have directed their march towa. ds I'a r: i- gona, on being informed of ours 011 Y^ ualada and Villa 1' men. ft is affirmed that a great desertion has taken place among the militia. PARIS, Aug. 10.— The Memorial Bordelaia aives the following account of the death of . VInntilla : — " Montilla was killed, but not until after the action. These are the official particulars of his death. '• This Chief on his retreat perceiving one of the for- mer companions of Ills infancy, requested liiin to keep guard a short time near him ( while he wrote a letter to the Captain general of La Providence) and to inform him if the Royalists made the least movement. Mon- tilla having begun to write, fatigued without doubt witli the tolls of the preceding eight days, during which lio had been in unceasing action, fell asleep, which his friend observing, shot him through the lica I with his musket, and instantly fled upon the horse of Montiila. " At the report of the musWs, the officer of the French party hastened to the spot; collected all tho papers of Montilla and bore his corpse to the village of Valtierra, where'was Col. la Bmhe, who after having identified tlie body, by the assistance of the prisoners, had a statement of the facts drawn up bv the Aleade of the place. Montilla has been interred with all the cere- monies of the church." GRAND HEAD- QUARTER. i According to the con- vention concluded on the 4- th of this month between General Molitor and Ballastcro3 ; tile General and the troops under his command acknowledge the authority of the Regency. General BaJlastcros orders, besides, tho Generals and Governors of the strong places within tho extent of his command to obey the Regency. Hostilities having ceased on each side, the army of Ballasteros, to the number of 7000 men, have entered the cantonments assigned to them. CAROLINA, Aug. 6— The defection of General Ballasteros, who has submitted to the Roval authority, has deprived the factions of their last hopt' 3. This im- portant event is the result of the able combinations of hi3 Royal Highness the Duke of Angor. leme, seconded by the mancEuvre3 of General . Molitor. The Prince arrived at Carolina, in the Sierra Morcrn, where he was immediately joined bv Count Laroche- fottcanlt, I113 Aid de- Camp, wiio brought him the news from Grenada of the submission of Ballasteros. General Btillasteros in his capitulation demanded to preserve his rank, and made the same demand fur all the military under his command. ODESSA, July 22.— On the 13th of this month a fire broke out in the neighbourhood of Costini, which reached to the arsenal; 2500 houses were consumed.— Soon after the fire caught the arsenal, and the Turks had the mortification to see consumed, a ship of the line ,.(' 7- t guas, 2 tfrVttti s/ cs. t J trigs, ar.

MADRID, Aug. iL—- The Government has received information that the valuable health of their Majesties and their llovjl Highnesses continued unchanged during the 28th and 29th of last mouth. Two of the nine gnu- boats preparing at Puerto de Santa Maria were got out of port on the 2$ th, and measures are taking to forward the remaining seven with . ill expedition. The news of the journey to that quarter, undertaken by the Duke of Angouhme, has caused great exultation at Puerto de Santa Maria. The Government has also received the following dispatch, which is here inserted literally, for the satis- faction of the public — CArT. UNCS- GEKER. At, OP THE KINGDOM AMD COAST OF GRENADA. Most F. W. lent Senor 1— Yasttrday, at three in the aftcr- T1CHMI, Ill's most Christian Majesty's troops, under the command of Camp Marshal the Baron de Oidi. no, took possession of this capital, it having tlint moment been abandoned by those calling themselves Constitutionalists. In the morning of that day General Oon Josef de Zayws marched off ivirh an army, in name, consisting of a deluge ot officers, but only 500 cavalry and 1600 infantry— a small number indeed, and yet sufficient to harrass the unfortunate towns incapable of defence. 1 « m confident, however, considering the public spirit in favour of his Majesty, that this force is not likely to be kept together. In conseouence of the arrangements made by the General commanding his Most Christian Majesty's troop?, I have taken upon myself the command of the captaincy of this kingdom and coast; and 1 yesterday restored the Ayuntainiento, the Chancery, and other authorities, as advised by the said French commanding General, and directed by the Regency.

CARLSRUIIE, July 29.— Our Gazette contains an article, dated Augsburg, to the following effect: — " Letters which we receive from all quarters inform us that the English Cabinet has made important over tures to those of Copenhagen and Stockholm. Den- mark, it is said, enters entirely into the English policy Sweden has not yet given a decided answer to the Note of the British Minister; but the Council of State has met several times to discuss his proposals, and the Swedish Minister for Foreign Affairs has had conferences with the English Ambassador, the objcct of which is to draw still closer the bonds which unite the two countries. ** On the other hand, a letter from Vienna gives us to understand that the east will be the theatre of impor- tant events, as the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh at length perceives that the intervention of the English and Aus- trian Ministers at Constantinople has produced no satis- factory result. A report has already been circulated at Vienna, that the Porte has withdrawn the forces which it had assembled in Thessaly, to send them to the banks of the Danube." FRANKFORT, Aug. 3.— The Swahian Mercury say Dr. Murhard, Editor of the Universal Political Annals. who has resided for several years at Frankfort on the Maine, has experienced some obstacles to the continua tion of his abode in that free city ; it is not known whe ther foreign influence is concerned. CORFU, June 30.— Mustapha Pacha, of Scutari tired with the repeated exhortations of the Sultan to march against the insurgents, has at length taken the resolution to send one of his superior officers with allot 2000 | nen. To this are reduced the armies of 40 or , 50,000 Albanian?, which the Turks and their friends talked of some time ago, and which were to crush the Greeks. The commander of this small corps goes to Bitoglia or Macedonia, whence he will proceed to Thes- taiy. The whole region of Chassia, which embraces the chain of mountains that unite Pindus to Olympus, has taken arms against the Turks. GENOA, July 30.— Travellers from Rome affirm that, notwithstanding the public declaration of some physicians, the greatest apprehensions were excited by the state of the Pope's health, and there is very little hope remains of his recovery. Cardinal Gonsalvi gives fresh proofs of his attachment to his Sovereign and of the energy of his character on this trying occasion. Un- happily his otfn health has lately suffered violent checks, and we arc thus threatened with two severe losses at tbe same time. Lord Byron, with his lvre in his hand, singing Erebus and Destiny, has sailed for Greece, which wanted no- thing but a Tytrseiis. BttUSSELS, August 11.— The Oriental Spectator of 27th June, says, it always thought the only good plan was not attack any of the islands, but to go direct to tbe object, to combat and vanquish tbe revolution at its source. It entirely depends on the fate of the More a : " it is there," savs tbe Turkish Journal, " that the Hydra is. * Let the Ottoman Hercules triumph over it, an< 1 the islands are but so many polypusses, which will pntrify and fall ott'. Every island that is attacked will he destroyed like Scio— they will therefore be like so many trees cut down to the root, which will produce no more fruits for the empire." Should we not think this was the language of a Jams sary mad with rage and slaughter ? Mo, it is a French- man, who writes these fine thing at Smyrna !— Brussels Papers, Aug. 12. STOCKHOLM, July 26.— No Minister could have met with more marked attention from the King here than Sir Benjamin Bloomfield, who attends him constantly in his rides and excursions, and is particularly noticed also bv Prince Oscar, who has him also at his right hand when reviewing the troops, & c. Sir Benjamin does honour to his situation, and is most highly respected, riay carcssed, bv tbe English, and truly hospitable and generous to all who have the pleasure of being made known to him. On occasion of the marriage of Oscar to the daughter of Beauliaruois, when tbe Cathedral was so superbly fitted up, the Minister had a most elegant scat appropriated for him, and when he was to present his credentials to the King, his Majesty sent one of the most splendid stare carriages, with six white horses, to conduct him to Court. It is universally known here that, in particular, a very distinguished attention is paid to this Minister of Great Britain. The town is rather thin after the great rejoicings on account of the marriage. Hardly a corner was to lie got to reside in during the event, which precluded very many from coming to the capital, and several of the English. The wife of Oscar is fair, with beautiful eyebrows and she is little in stature. Her apartments in the palace are elegantly fitted up, and particularly with dark green silk, and adorned with ornaments of French manufacture. She and Oscar ride out daily, and bow to the populace. The Swedes seem quite in raptures " with our Princess," as they call her. Bernadotte is under no apprehension of any Power shaking his sovereignty. He is most firm on the Swe- dish throne— nay, idolized ; and it is only justice to say, that he governs with lenity and moderation. The Queen is here, though but little known or seen. The On Dits have it that the nobility do not pay too much attention to her on the score of birth j The King and family have gone to Rosenberg, about 12 miles distant, a beautiful palace, the favourite resi- dence of the last King. Lady Bloomfield is not with Sir Benjamin, but it is said she is to be here in spring. GREECE. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 10.— Authentic accounts have now been received of the arrival of the Captain Pacha with the greater part of his fleet in tbe Gulf of Lepanto, alter providing the fortresses in Nygropont, Canea ill Candia, Modon and Coron, with provisions and ammunition. Of his farther operations we only know that he has blockaded Misso- lunghi by sea. It is remarkable, that he has attempted noth- ing against any of the islands, and that notwithstanding all the challenges of tbe Insurgents, none of their vessels came near him, though hundreds of them were collected at dilferent points. It is said now that Jussuf Pacha and Omer Brione will ad- vance, with the Albanians whom they have enlisted, against Missolunghi, and it is still affirmed ( though other accounts render it doubtful) that the troops of the Pacha of Scutari are arrived at Trikala. It is certain that the Turkish army at Larissa has lately been much reinforced. The country about the Gulf of Yolo and the island of Negropont appear to have been lately the scene of very bloody re- actions on the part of the Turks, who had been for a time oppn. cd anil ill treated. Similar events, of which we have more particular accounts, have been caused by a landing of the insurgents on tbe coast of Asia, and this is a part which had hitherto been spared the horrors of this barbarous war. Fifteen Ipsariot armed vessels, accompanied by above 100 barks, appeared in the bay of Adramit and Sandarly, landed some thousand men near the latter place, plundered the town, murdered the greater part of the inhabitants, and carried a great number of them into slavery, among whom was the Ilarem of Cara- Osman Oglu.* After this they plundered and burnt all the villages and farms in the neighbourhood, and after a short action with some troops that were sent against them loo late, and in which they lost about thirty men. returned to their ships laden with booty. So unexpected an attack filled the whole country with terror, then with boundless rage. The oonsequence w as, that in the town of Pergamo, which is not far from Sandarly, the Turkish inhabitants, united with some Turkish soldiers, fell on the Greek population, and not- withstanding all the exertions of the Cadi, a venerable old man, who is said to have received eighteen wounds on this occasion, a dreadful massacre took place, in which about 1000 were killed. When this account was received ot Constantinople, the Sultan ordered Ibraham Pacha, who commands the troops on the Bosphorus, immediately to send a large detachment to Pergamo, and to punish with the utmost rigour the authors of these sanguinary scenes, which he considered to be neither justified nor excused by the preceding excesses of the insur- gents. Two thousand men marched in consequence of this order, and Ibraham Pacha followed them two days ago. The original plan of tile Ipsariots was calculated on a more exten sive scale. They had pretty plainly threatened to proceed from Sandarly to Smyrna, and to set fire to that great city also. The Commander of one of the European squadrons cruising there being informed in time of this intention, repaired in per- son to Ipsara, and represented to the Primates that, if such an attempt should he made, all tile Commanders of European ships of war would oppose it. His exhortation was, indeed, received rather coldly by the Primates ; the pirates themselves, however, probably not ignorant of this step, seem to have con- sidered the matter better, and contented themselves this time with the booty they had made.— Austrian Observer. Aug. The Allgeineine Zeitung gives news from Constantinople of the same date, in which it is stated that Count Nesselrode's answer to the Ileis Eff'endi had been received, aud that it was hoped the former relations with Russia wonld be restored. The same paper gives a still more gloomy picture of the events on thecoast. of Asia, than even the above narration from the Austrian Observer. Tbe Greeks, it says, having rejected all proposals, the war assumes a fatal character of extermina- tion. which must be more aud more destructive to the Greek It seems as if their main object was, by their landings on the coast of Asia, to increase the number of the unhappy victims of their fanaticism, as they thus inflame the vengeance of the Mussulmans ; so that all tbe Greeks have no other resource but to embrace one of the two parties. Relating the events at Sandarly, it savs the Greeks proceeded in the same manner as at Mitylene. The Turks in revenge destroyed all the Greek cotton plantations at Kirkagaz. In Negropont all the open country has been laid waste by the Turks. Tbe accounts from Salonichi are equally afflicting. Abadallab Pacha bad sent 12,000 men to the gulf of Volo to quell the insurrection that had broken out there. The insurgents tied to Trikeri, hut the Turks iaid waste 24 of the Greek villages, on which occasion, according to the Spectateur Oriental of the 4th July, 8000 Greeks perished. The women and children were carried into slavery. The further accounts from the Morea and Ne- gropont are expected with impatience. It is affirmed that the Pacha of Adrianople, as well as the Pacha of Scutari, is at Larissa, and the ' Thei mopylce in their possession.— So far the Allaemeine Zeilung, * This is the Chief of the powerful family which for about fifty years has exercised, in this part of Asia, a sovereignty almost independent of the Porte, and ( as all travellers agree) in a mild and beneficent manner.

On Thursday, the Spanish Ambassador at Paris is said to have received by express the important intelli- gence that the King of Spain was at liberty, and that the Cortes had embarked, bat for what destination Was not accurately known. The news was also received by telegraphic communication from Bayonne, and the Edi- tor of the Moniteur, while he disclaims being respon- sible for its authenticity, professes to place implicit re- liance in its truth ; some doubt, however, was enter- tained in tbe best informed circles in London, on Satur- day, of its accuracy. ( From the Globe and Traveller.) We have received this morning from Paris, papers and letters, by express, up to Friday morning, contain- ing most important intelligence, communicated, however, in a way to leave some doubts of its authenticity of the termination of the war in Spain. Before we proceed either to comment on this or on the other intelligence in these papers, we must give the article to which we refer. PARIS. August 14.

B. — If the news contained itv this dispatch should be true, it cannot fail to he very soon confirmed by telegraphic dispatch, which will bear an official character." GRAND HEAD QUARTERS. A Spanish Courier d'Estafette verbally brings the news that the King is free in Cadiz, that the Cortes are dissolved, that the revolutionary troops are all concentrated in the Isle of Leon, that at Cadiz they have closed the gates on the side of the Isle of Leon, and that they only wait the arrival of the Duke of Angouleme to open those on the sea side, and thus finish the war in Spain. MADRID, Aug. 9.— A Spanish Courier, this instant ar- rived. states, that at the moment of his departure from Cadiz, the King and his august family traversed the city in the midst of an immense crowd, who made the air echo with cries of joy. It is to be hoped that the next advices will confirm ibis impor- tant news, which has spread through every part of Madrid like wild- lire. On all sides they were embracing : tears of joy flowed from every eye, and nothing but Vivas were heard. MADRID, same Date. — It seems that during some days the Cortes, influenced by secret fears, have relaxed a little in the rigorous measures which that rebel assembly had at first adopted towards onr unfortunate Monarch. The 2J of this month their Majesties bad peimission to visit the Church of St. Francis, and w- hat is still more extraordinary, to take a carriage airing beyond the land gates. A detachment of ca- alry escorted them. Their residence is still at the Custom- house ; it is not true that they have been removed to the hos- pital. The Custom- house having some of its windows facing the sea, the French sailors by means of their telescopes, had the gratification several times of beholding the Captive Mo- narch, who, waiving his handkerchief, saluted the fleet of L. mis XVIII. his August Defender, and bis appioaching Liberator. We have now put our readers in a situation to judge of the truth of the intelligence contained in the dispatch as it is possible at present to judge ofit. The fact of no dispatch in confirmation of this intelligence having been received from Bayonne, through the whole of Thursday, tends certainly to throw some doubt on the information ; but, at the same time, so many accidents may have in- tervened to prevent the speedy arrival of a dispatch from the head- quarters of the Duke of Angouleme. which before the 10th must have been to the southward of the Sierra Morcna, that we must not, 011 that account, positively decide'against the truth of the previous com- munication. The question occurs, however, what is meant in this dispatch by the phrase " the Cortes have tnbarked ?" Have they embarked for England, or have they embarked for Seville ? We only trust that the latter may turn out to be the correct interpretation, and that they have stipulated for a continuation of a re presentative Government, for with such a Government good must ultimately be done in Spain. The report that our Government was about to send Minister to Cadiz, to assist in the adjustment of a pacification between France and Spain, we may again venture to assert is without foundation. The whole ar- rangement of that important object is, we understand, to be left entirely to the conduct of Sir William A'Court. Sun. An article, dated Genoa, July 30, says, Travellers Vom Rome affirm that, notwithstanding the public de- claration of some physicians, the greatest apprehensions are excited by the state of the Pope's health, and very little hope remains of his recovery. We understand, from good authority, that at the annual conference of Wesleyan Ministers, which com- menced at Sheffield, on the 30th ult. the Rev. Jabea Bunting proposed a motion, " That all the congrega- tions in the kingdom should be obliged to use the liturgy, in their chapels." This motion was rejected by a ma- jority of 70.— Manchester Guardian. The Lady Coinbermere has arrived in Liverpool from Sierra Leone, bringing the pleasing intelligence, that when she left that Colony on the 20th of June it was much- more healthy than it had been. It is reported that General Win. Pepe is engaged in organizing a foreign corps, destined to join the army under General Quiroga. . The foreign officers who came over in the Roval George have, with very few excep- tions, enlisted themselves in the new corps. We have on more than one occasion, lately, directed public attention to the situation of Mexico, and to the manifest advantages which would accrue to tnis country, if commercial relations with that portion of America could be intimately cultivated. We are now enabled to state that his Majesty's Ministers have not been inat- tive to this subject. ' Mr. Lionel Harvey, late Sccre tarv of Legation at Madrid, is going out immediately at the head of a commission to Mexico, with powers which cannot fail, from their extent and importance, to put the British Government in posession of the actual state of that fertile country. There is no doubt, we believe, of this inquiry and negociation leading to an intimate con- nexion between Mexico and this country, a subject on which the former has expressed herself in the most press- ing terms of solicitude for such a connexion Courier. BURGLARY AT LAMBETH PALACE.— The officers have not vet succeeded in apprehending any person upon whose participation in the late burglary at Lambeth Palace they can persume. Lambeth Church, which almost touches the Palace, was broken into the same night. The conjectures is that the same villains, upon finding they had no chance of getting hold of the ex- pected chests of plate, determined to try the church and stript the communion- table, but in their hopes in this respect also they were quite mistaken. The presents which were made to the Archbishop by the Emperor of Russia and other princes, estimated at L. 15,000, had been removed before his Grace went upon his visitation. The thieves, it is supposed by some, had a cart in wait- ing near the Palace, to transport the expected plunder. The expulsion of the Portuguese from the Brazils is an event of the greatest importance to the British Em pire, if the weak and short sighted Ministers who at pre- sent unfortunately preside over her destinies knew how to take advantage of circumstances so fortunate to the liberties and civilization of the inliabitar. ts of an exten- sive and prolific portion of the globe. The best inte- rests of Great Britain certainly require a speedy acknow- ledgment of the independence of tbe different American States ; for if Spain and Portugal be reduced under the absolute government of Legitimate Despots, all the in- fluence of religion will be used by the Bourbons, who are the Patrons of gloom and voluntary subjection, to restore the American Colonies to the bosom of the true Church, and thereby to exclude Great Britain from the power of civilizing their inhabitants by tits benefits of commerce, and from enriching lier manufacturers by a free and unrestricted intercourse in articles which are mutually necessary to tbe comforts of each. Nature renders America and England friends, and only old and absurd prejudices prevent their closest alliance. Lord Cochrane had captured one British, ship attempting to evade the blockade of Bahia, and had sent her to Rio de Janeiro for adjudication. We can state that no acconnt of Captain Parry's having effected the North- west passage, and of his hav- ing subsequently arrived at Valparaiso, has reached the Admiralty. We give this renewed contradiction of the former statement upon tbe subject, because we perceive tnat statement has been revived with increased confi- dence.— Courier. C A it MOT.— The celebrated Carnot has died, after a painful illness, at Magdeburg, where he had taken refuge since 1815. He was one of those men who have done honour to France, and retained, amidst many seductions, his character for honesty and firmness. He was a Mem- ber of the Executive Directory and of the Academy of Sciences, and a Lieutenant- General in the French army. He accepted of no conspicuous public employment under the regime of Napoleon till the French territory was in- vaded. He was born 13th May, 17,53. 1 he Constitutionnel, in an account of Carnot, savs •,— " Ihe onhmance ot the month of July, signed by a Minister, who had been bis colleague ( Fonche) consign- ed M. Carnot to an exile, which he supported with his accustomed stoicism. The disinterestedness which had distinguished him in the highest functions, became- a more rigotirous duty in his eves now, when he was ob- liged to find his existence on a foreign soil. He refused the highest post in public military instruction, . offered him by a great Monarch : he refused the offer of an estate of 60,000 francs of rent from a powerful prince ; he refused considerable presents from several societies which united to honour and console his misfortunes. He refused magnificent offers from several Governments, and even several nations, who in these better times in- voked his talents and his information, and whose name appeared to him justice itself. In aiding them he might have found himself in opposition to that France which he had always defended— with that country to which he did think that lie ceased to belong. The friends and relations of M. Carnot learned bv chance a multitude of fine traits, of which he had left them in ignorance, saying, " These things are too simple to be spoken of." M. Carnot having taken refuge in Magdeburg, since 1815, wore neither uniform nor de- coration, and yet he could not leave his house without all the Guards of that military town presentino arms to him. Remaining poor, after having administered the affairs and the Treasure of the State, M. Carnot saw himself to his last day surrounded by public esteem. He had not the consolation to sleep in the bosom of the country which he so often and so gloriously had defended ; but if destiny makes her cruel sport with dispersing the ashes of weak mortals, she cannot separate their souls from their dearest affections— the heart of Carnot never quit- ted France. On quitting Greenland they wouM visit Iceland, and then cross to Dronthiem in Norway, when a fourth series pf observations would be. completed previous to their return in the mouth of November. , MARKETS, .

B. has been ordered round to Portsmouth from Chatham, with the utmost expedition to embark the Vice- Admiral, who will sail immediate^ for the Mediterranean station. She was ordered to leave the Nore on Wednesday last, and is hourly expected to arrive at Spithead. Accounts have been received of the progress of the Griper, Captain Clavering, on board of which Captain Sabine sailed from the Nore in the month of Mav last, for the purpose of carrying on the series of observations on the pendulum, in the high latitudes of the Polar seas. They arrived at the North Cape, after a tedious passage, in the beginning of June, and proposed to remain at Hainmerfest about three weeks. From that place thev go to Spitzbergcn, as the second station for observations, and then proceed to the eastern coast of Greenland, in- tending to make their way to the northern part of that unexplored coast, or as far as the obstruction of perman- ent ice would permit the ship to pars. It is intended to land the instruments for observation ot the highest point they should reach in Greenland, and afterwards to na- vigate down this hitherto unknown coast southwards.— The sale of Lambs at LANARK on Wednesday was teiy in- different. An immense quantity were on the moor, which sold at low prices. The best lot was sold at L. 7 die clad store. The current prices of wether lamb were from L5. to L. S 10s. Indifferent lots lower, some at L. 3 10s. The show of year old coirs, at this fair, once so famous for this stock, is declin- ing. Not a fourth of wb « has been seen were in the market on Wednesday. Like all horse* markets now, It was only a few of the best that brought good prices. Some evpn mny be said to have sold high. One very line animal brought L. 2.3.

KIKI: LAMMAS TRYST — ATthis tryst, which was heldort Tuesday and Wednesday last, some lots of large ffijihlaud cattle oF the best quality and welj fed, sold at L 6 : 2 : ( JD ; and some lots of lean Highlanders, of ordinary sort, from I,. 2 ] 0s„ to L. 4 10s. Lots of inferior from L. I 5s. to L. 2. The sale^ were brisk on the first day, and those who embraced that clay's offers, did better than those vvho stood out till the next. The larger and higher priced cattle sold on terms very little, if any, better than at last year's tryst. Small cattle however fetched prices from 5s. to 7s. 6d. per bead better than at that time A tolerable number of horses appeared— but of an inferior de- scription. Good saddle horses were sold from L. 28 lo L. 4(> Inferior sold indifferently, artd can hardly be quoted. Draught horses met with heavy sale ; some were sold from L. l fi to L. 25.- Highland ponies were in great request, and sold briskly from L. 7 to L. 12. The higher priced were of the pick for strength, beauty, and shape. Inferior ones sold from L. 5 to L. 7. It was remarked that a greater numberin the stock of all kinds of' black cattle were exposed than was remembered to have oeent seen on any former occasion ; and the holders on the whole had a very good market, a great many south country dealers having made their appearance. At Maybole Lammas Fair, on Tuesday last, there was ti considerable supply of Cloth in the market. There were but few buyers, but a good deal of business Was done, and tin* prices were about a half- penny a yard above those of the last market. The annual Fair of Tarbeit, Kintyre, Argyleshire, v- a- i held on the 31st July and Ist and 2d of August. A good number of horse dealers attended from the low country, and there was a good show of draught horses ot the Kintyre breed, which brought pretty fair price*, frftrft' 151 to 81, downwards ; they were mostly all sold off. Lambs sold at 2s. 9d. to 4s. 6d. There were a great number of cloth and hardware merchants' stands, and considerable sales were made. At the Cattle Market held in Skye, Glenelg, and Rintail, the demand was brisk, but prices a shade lower than .-. t iho May market.

The Town Council of that burgh at a niectin!! called on purpose, and by a vote necrlv unanimous subscribed £ 10 out of the town's funds. The ' sum collected shortly after the subscription com- menced was £ 25, and it was expected this amount would be doubled before it closed.

The herring fishing continues to be successful on the west coast. In Ldchuirn, the quantity was so great, as stated bv an eye- witness, that shoals of them were floating on shore ; thev are very fat, but rather small in size. A considerable quantity was caught last week at Kintail; and there never was a better appearance ofa good fishing on the coast of Skve. Sunday mornino a favourable change took place in the weather. With the exception of a slight shower in the afternoon, no rain fell, and the sun shone through- out the dav ; the early part of yesterday was clear, but cloudy in the afternoon, followed by heavy rain at night. This dav is clcar, with a brisk westerly breeze. The " Lammas flood" occurred on Thursday, and the Clyde was larger than it haslieen seen at this season for seven years. Between six and seven o'clock ill the evening it was within 12 inches of the grating ofa common sewer in the Bridgegate. Quantities of hay, and pieces of wood were floating down the stream. Dur- ing the day business, was suspended at the Broonnelaw ; the water was over, the quay, into the cellars, and the oldest resideiiters in that quarter do not recollect of see- ing the Clyde larger at this season. The rains have been equally heavy in every direction. Early in the day the Cart and the Kelvin overflowed their banks, and wash- ed up several fields of potatoes, and injured several fields of oats.

J,_ 2.1, that MIS A and ROTES had, on the 29th July, sallied out from Barcelona with all theiu forces, and at- tacked the French near Mataro on the 30th, that the battle was not ended on the 2d, when ilic Captain sail- er!, as he saw a great fire along the coast and on the tops ofthe mountains. We have already seen the French ae counts of these actions, andby those it is admitted, that the fighting1 was very severe— hut their loss miraculously small— a mere nothing—- some dozen or twenty— while the Spaniards were overthrown with prodigious slaugh- ter. Time will afford the true details of those actions ; but a gentleman who writes from Paris distinctly says, that Marshal MoN'ctiV has told the executive, that un- less he is . powerfully reinforced immediately, he must look to the safety of his troops by timeous retreat. Not a gun has yet been fired against St. Sebastian or I'am- peluna, and these fortresses, as well as Barcelona, are amply provisioned. The I^ egenev continue at Madrid fulmi'tj iting,' their impotent decrees against the constitu- tionalists, qlthough the guerillas arc hemming them in on all Sides, and the E,\ i rise IN A DO actually carried off a FnSrich officer, and his guard. of thirty men, from the Toledo gate of the capital. It is believed, that Qut- IUiGA is - by this tittle in the command ofthe Andalu- sian arinv., which, like that cif Gidiciii, remains firm— or as Molt It to would siy unaccountably obstinate after the defection ot their General. At Cadiz, where all was said to he settled— the King at liberty— the Cortes em- barked— and concord and legitimacy completely trium- phant— matters remain jt'i& t as they were a month ago ; the besieging army keeping a prudent distance of about three miles from the place— the garrison in high health ind spirits, and FtsnofNAND allowed to amuse himself just as he pleases, within certain prescribed limits. Pro- visions are actually cheaper in Cadiz than in Gibraltar, and as the naval blockade has been for a time raised l » y a gale and cannot be maintained during the winter months, there is 110 room for apprehension that the place will be starved into submission. Where the Duke d'ANGOU- LEME is we are not exactly informed. Such being, as we believe, a true outline of the real state of affairs in Spain, we trust oilr readers will, in future, be cautious how thev give credit to. the fabrications ofthe Bourbon press, or the . Journals engaged in the same cause in Britain. >. No confirmation has- been received of the favourable news given last week eciiicirning the affairs of Greece— but as au agent of the Greek Committee of London is now, we believe, in the . Ylorea, authentic advices may soon be expected, probability is in favour of the accounts already received. SUMMARY OF POLITICS. AMIDST. the many degradations to which French- men nuAt submit under the rule ofthe Bourbons, none is so galling and disgraceful as the suppression ofthe truth and promulgation of the grossest falsehoods, brought about by the utter extinction of the Liberty of the Press. A slave compelled to submit to a despotic master has some consolation, while he is permitted to see things as they really arc ; but a slave compelled to submit to his fate blindfolded, has touched the . very base string of human degradation, and can descend no lower. The French Journals are enjoined to circulate no news not communicated to them bv authority ; and by authori- ty was announced the fall of Corunna a month since— the defection of BALLASTEROS with his whole army, a short time afterwards— and finally, the fall of Cadiz^— li- beration of FERDINAND— the embarkation of the Cortes for Lord knows where— and the final cessation of hosti- lities in the Peninsula— the Duke II'ANGOULEME hav- ing triumphantly achieved the whole objects of his mis- sion. It is certainly strange that, with all our experi- ence we have had ofthe systematic falsehood ofthe Bourbon Government, there are still many in this country ready to give credit to reports circulated by that Govern- ment, utterly improbable in themselves, ar. d in many in- stances a simple comparison of dates, shewing that the accounts cannot possibly be true. Yet so it is— and al- though the treachery of ABISBAL, SARSFIELD, MO- RILLO, and others, lias produced to the invading army no decisive advantage to render a speedy termination of the war probable, it has in some measure become fashion- able with us to despond of the cause of the Spaniards. That the Members of the Cortes, who compelled FER- DINAND to accompany them into Cadiz, were declared traitors by the Madrid Regency, their estates confiseat ed, and their lives declared forfeited whenever their per- sons could lie identified, and that the Cortes in like man tier anathematized the Regency is welt known— it is known, the garrison and inhabitants of Cadiz have ever been stiongly attached to the Constitution. Yet it ob- tained credit w ith some, that ail at once such differences had been made up— that the Cortes had seen their errors, and acknowledged the despotic rule of FERDINAND to be the best of all governments for free and enlightened Spa- ntards ; and that the troops who were the first to estab- lish and declare the Constitution, were now most en- thusiastically shouting out for the absolute King ! That the invading army had its chief dependence upon the treachery of the Spanish commanders is no doubt true ; and it is possible that BALJ. ASTEROS may have follow- ed the example of Mo HI LI. 0, for it seems certain from Cadiz papers that he has been superseded in the com- mand of the army of Andalusia, but as yet there is no authentic account of any considerable body of constitu- tional troops having deserted their cause, and gone over to the enemv. Uncertain as the events of war are, there is every probability that, if the Spaniards remain true to themselves, they fnuitsucceed ; but in whatever way the coutest may terminate, whatever party may prevail, there must, according to appearances, be much blood- shed in the Penensula. If the patriots succumb, many of them must go to the scaffold— and if they prevail, the Nobles and Priests, who have taken so active a part against their country's liberties, cannot expect to escape exemplary punishment. The real stale of affairs in Spain we as vet do not accurately know,; but we have reason to believe that the following is a tolerably cor- rect outline. The bombardment of Corunna was going oh, 011 the 5th inst. when a Dutch vessel left the port, but only occasionally. The French had occupied all the heights commanding the place, but we do not learn that any expectation was formed of a speedy surrender of the place. In Catalonia some very severe actions had taken place, in which the French had suffered great loss : the Spaniardswere under the command of MIL ANS, LLOEE- tt AS, and MANSO, and that in the action near Manresa, besides killed and wounded, 3000 French prisoners were taken. It is also stated, upon the authority of a vessel which sailed m- m St. Ftiicio ( coast of Catalonia) oa the News of no small importance have been received from the Brazils, whiclr fro hope to be able to notice more particularly next week. THE MORNING CRROMICLE The property of this Journal, so deservedly high in public estimation has lately, heen sold by the Executors of Mr. PERRY, for the very high price of Forty Thousand Founds— the largest sum, it is believed, ever given for a public Journal. The purchaser is, we understand, Mr. CLEMENT, the proprietor of the Observer; and we believe it will continue to be conducted by the same Gentleman who has conducted it since Mr. PERRY'S death, anfl during his long continued illness, a sure pledge that the princi- ples of the Journal will remain unchanged, and its for- mer high character be. maintained. It has been said, that the Morning Chronicle died with Mr. PERRY— so said the late Sir ALEX. BOSWELL in his correspondence with the Glasgow Sentinel— and we believe tbe party in Scot- land w ith which he acted, would have wished it had been so— but we deny the fact. It is true, Mr. PERRY raised the Morning Chronicle from obscurity, to be the first Journal published in England— that he was emin- ently well qualified to write the leading articles in a daily paper— and that in neatness of style, and the playful vivacity with which he exposed the defects in an oppon- ent's argument, he is perhaps still unrivalled. But the Morning Chronicle maintains as before the principles of constitutional Liberty, in extensive information and soundness of argument it has not fallen off, and in one respect we really think it improved since Mr. PERRY'S death, inasmuch as it is now the decided advocate of real Reform. The fact is certain, that, for many years, Mr. PERRY'S Whig'Patrons and Friends did not wish for any such Reform as would essentially diminish the influence of the Crown in the Commons ; and the tone of the Morning Chronicle was moderated accordingly— hut sounder opinions now prevail. CotiBETT, when under the patronage of WINDHAM and PITT, wrote against the Morning Chronicle as going too far ; when he became a Reformer he attacked Mr. PERRY for not K0," g, f" r enough— but that lie is now pleased with that Journal, appears from the following article in his Register of tbe 16th inst. TBE MOR XING CHRONICLE. AN event of no small interest, in the newspaper world, has, if I can believe the newspapers, just taken place. The Morn- ing Chronicle, which has been the property ofthe late Mr. PERRY for so many year*, and which has, since his death, been the property of his family, has been sold, if I am rightly in- formed, to Mr. CiKMEST, the proprietor of tbe Observer, for forty thousand pounds. As to ihe principles upon which Mr. Clement will ptoceed in the employment of this powerful in- strument, it is impossible for me to express any thing farther than my wishes. One thing, however, we may be assured of, and that is, that every thing which uncommon industry and uncommon enterprize can effect, will be done to extend the circulation of the paper; and I have little hesitation in express- ing an opinion, that the next time that Mr. Hume shall think it becoming in him to talk from his place in Parliament of the relative numbers of different newspapers, he will have to place this paper much above that between which and himself there basso long been going on a reciprocity of praises. Anna Brodie. coverture notwithstanding, will, I am pretty sure have to look sharply about her. Hitherto she has had to say, and many base persons have had to say for l> er, that she was the most liberal w ith her purse to get intelligence ; that she sent her re- porters here and her ambassadors there, when nobody else did it. This will be said of her no longer. She has now got a rival that will, ill these respects leave her very far behind. What I could wish, however, would he this -. that this great and power- ful instrument might be made conducive to the good of the kingdom at large ; and if that should be the case, I, for one, shali be exceedingly glad to see it conducive to tbe augmenta- tion of the fortune of the proprietor. BIRTHS..— At Montrose, on the 14th inst. Mrs. Provost JAMESON, of a daughter. At Spriiigbill, on the 21st inst. the Lady of GEORGE FORBES, Esq. of a Son, At Rotterdam. 011 the 4th inst. the Lady of JAMES HENRY TURING, E- q. of a son and heir. MARRIAGE— At Kintiily. near Perth, 011 the llth inst. by the Rev. Alexander Mollison, Mr. GEORGE REID, Shipmaster, Limekilns, to Miss ELIZABETH CRAW, of Mon- trose. DEATHS. — At Colliston Mill, on the 7th inst. after a long and severe illness, which he bore with patience and Christian resignation, Mr. THOMAS MILLAR, farmer there, in the 80ih year of his age. On the 11th inst. at Old Clochtow, parish of Stains, JOHN TBOIRS. in the 97th year of his age. During this long period he enjoyed an excellent state of health, and had never been confined to bed ( rut for three days previous to his decease, re- taining his mental faculties almost to the last. In the earlier part of his life he was game- keeper to the Right Hon. James, Earl of Erroll. and will long be remembered by the distin- guished visitors of that noble family, and by all his acquaint- ances, for his steady upright conduct, and for a faretiousness of disposiiion, and playfulness of wit, which never failed to leave either a pleasing or laughable impression oil the company in which he was TAM O'SHANTER— At Lochwinnoch, on the 9th inst. Thomas Reid, labourer. He was born 21st October, 1743, in the Clachas of Kyle, Ayrshire. The importance attached to this circumstance arises from his being ihe celebrated eques- tiian hero of Burns's poem, Tain o'Shanler. He has at length surmounted the mosses, rivers, slaps, and styles" of life. For a considerable, time bypast he has been in the ser- vice of Major Harvey of C'astleseniple, nine months of which he has bsen incapable of labour, and, to the honour of Mr. Harvey he it named, he lias, with a fostering and laudable generosity, soothed, as far 3S it was ill his power, the many ills of age anil disease. He, however, still retained the de- sire of being fu' for weeks together." GreeK subscription.

The above example shews, what a Society not nu- merous, and far from being rich, may do, when an oppor- tunity is given them. The Treasurer of the Infirmary has received, by the hands of David hutcheon, Esq. Advocate, L. 50, being a legacy to that charitable Institution, by the late Deacon WILI. IAM BAIN, Gileomston. At the Ruthrieston Tryst 011 Tuesday, the sales of all de- scriptions of Cattle were brisk, especially Mileh Cows, of which numbers were disposed of: one'dealer alone sold 18. Smite Farmers appeared for Harvest Servants, but few were engaged. In the afternoon, the concourse of people was immense. REAPING CORN— The French claim the merit of a new discovery of great importance to agriculture in the advan- tages which, according to them, result rrom the practice of reaping corn before it is perfectly ripe. This theory, which has just been promulgated tiy M. Cadet de Vax. Originates with AI. Salles, of the Agricultural Society of Sewers. The fol- lowing are the particulars :— Corn, reaped eight days before ihe usual time, is, in the first place, secured from the dangers which threaten it at that, time; this is only accidental ; b-. l a positive advantage is, that the grain is fuller, larger, finer, and tint it is never attacked by the weevil. The truth of these state- ments has been proved by ihe most conclusive comparative Ex- periments upon a piece of corn, one half of which was reaped before the usual time, and the other half at the degree of matu- rify fixed by the oidinary practice. The first portion gave a hectolitre of corn more for lmlf a hectar of land. Afterwards an equal quantity of fl. iur from tbe wheat of each portion was made into bread ; that of the corn reaped green gave seven pounds of bread more than the other in six decalitres. Lastly, the weevil attacked the corn which was cut ripe, the other was exempt from it. The proper time for reaping, is that when the grain, on being pressed between the fingers, bus a doughy appearance like the crumb of bread just hot from the oven, when pressed in the same manner. Yesterday, at the Feeing Market for shearers, during the ensuing harvest, the wages were— for Men, 50s. to 60s. Women, from 35s. to 40s. On Friday se'ennight, a number of medical gentlemen, con- nected with the army, gave a dinner at the Waterloo Tavern, Ed- inburgh, in honour of Sir James M Grigor, Director- General of the army medical department, who is now in that city. Dr. buchan, Deputy- Inspector of hospitals, was in the chair ; Dr. M'Lagan, Physician to the forces, officiated as croupier About 40 gentlemen sat down to dinner, among whom were the Presidents of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, several Professors of the University, and a number of the most eminent medical practitioners there. The evening was spent in the utmost harmony and conviviality, and during the whole of it one common sentiment of admiration and respect for the talents and services of Sir James M'Grigor prevailed, and animated all present. On the 12th curt, was held here the Annual Genera] Meet- ing of the True Blue Gardeners, when after contributing to the funds, and settling the oidinary business of the Society* the judges appointed awarded the first Prize Medal to JOHN ROY. jun. Gardener in Aberdeen, for the best Carnation, called Sir Robert Wilson ; the second to James Walker, Nur- seryman, for the best Pink, called the Spanish Patriot ; and the third to Alex Clark, Gardener, Pitmedden, for the best Sweet William, called Susanna's Choice.

And the following individuals have been elected Managers of the S-' ciety for the ensuing year : Alex. Burley. James Young, John Thomson, David Colvin, James Valentine, and Donald Elder. After the business of ihe Society was concluded, the- Mem- bers of the Society paraded the streets of the town, preceded bv the enlivening music of the fife and drum, and accompani- ed hy deputations fro- n all the Societies of this place, with their colours unfurled and the emblems of their different orders dis- played, forming altogether a very grand arw. 1 magnificent pro- cession. Having completed their walk, the Members ofthe Society accompanied the several deputations to the respective places of deposition of their colours, and then returned to the Mason Lodge, where they sat down to a very excellent din- ner, prepared for them by Mr. Marr of tbe New Inn. In the evening, a liall commenced in tbe Mason Lodge and County Hall, which was conducted with the utmost regularity, nothing but order and conviviality prevailing; it was kept up till an early hour in the morning.

Mr. FRASER of Lovat and his Latly. were welcomed to this place, wilh every de- monstration of joy. They were met about seven miles from ihe Family Seat, bv all tbe Tenantry. 011 horseback, who ac- companied them thither, under a salute of cannon as they ap- proached nearer, and amrtl the acclamations of a numerous assemblage of Feuars ar. d others, collected in the village to le- ceive them. The Tenants afterwards returned to the Town- hall, where, along with the Feuars, they toasted health and happiness to the newly united couple, wilh an enthusiasm which the long continued kindness of the family, and reciprocal attachment 011 the part of the Tenants, were well calculated to produce.

The Letters received yesterday by the Lisbon packet £ ive a melancholy picture of the state of degradation into which Por- tugal is sunk, and desenbed in lively terms the indignation prevalent through the whole kingdom. Lisbon was in a stat< i of the most complete confusion, no one dared to trust his neigh- bour. The Government had spies in every quarter, and the least whisper gave ri> e to the arrest of the most innocent and" unsuspecting persons. ' J'his suspicious temper, on the part of the Government, had been instrumental to many acts of private revenge. The troops are represented as being in a complete state of insubordination, which increased with their arrears of pay. The Royal Family and many of the nolSIes \ vere in a state of the greatest alarm, and the frigate Amazona was in rea- diness to convey the King away to the Azores, or to IJr;: zilsl in case of a re- action, which he was determined he would not witness. It is said that many of the soldiers of the 9th and 1 ItU regiments had gone to Galicia to join the Constitutional cause. Letters of the iiBth and 29th ult. were yesterday received from Cadiz, which mention that every thing continued unchang- ed there, and that the same enthusiasm prevailed among tiie' troops and people. The Government continued firm in its de- termination to listen to no overtures of a humiliating kind.— The issue ofthe cause had been trusted to the sword, ami there was no disposition to nrike any alteration in the policy adapted. Admiral Valdes had given up his allowances w? Commandant- General fof tiie naval forces, amounting to 168,000rials per annum. Count de Almodovar had also re- signed all his pay, and geneially there was a disposition on the part of the officersto wave their pay till the Government should be better enabled to discharge the obligation. Measures ha t been taken to prevent the arrival from America, or any other point, of vessels having the fever on board. Provisions were plentiful, and continued to arrive in sufficient quantities. Both the Government and individuals had laid in great stocks. Tbe average for the prices of grain in the maritime district-; was struck on Wednesday, and the result is, that the ports re- main shut for the next three months. His Grace the Duke of Wellington is expected to set off to- morrow for the Netherlands upon his annual mission to in- spect tbe line of fortifications erecting along the frontiers of that territory. When the Lisbon Revolution was completed, the new Go- vernment sent the Spanish Minister resident there, his ports. As soon as the circumstance was known in Cadiz, the same compliment was paid to the Portuguese Minister. The Spanish Committee have the pleasure of announcing to the public the munificent donation of One Thousand Pounds- from Earl Fiiz. villiam, in addiiion lo his former subscription. The Paris Journal d' Affiches of the 17th inst. con- tains tbe following advertisement, which may be of some interest to the bachelors of London ns well as of Paris i— " MARriAGES. " 1 st.
