There is no proposal to remove the Spanish Of. ficers, by substituting English in their room. The sole object of the proposition was, that in this critical conjuncture, when the grand French army is in full retreat towards SRO. the Commander-in-Chief op posed to it might avail himself of the militaryresour ces of those provinces which are probably about to become the theatre of war." APRIL 1.1. —A letter received from Yelves contains the following particulars: The bridge of Juramena was prepared for the An glo-Portuguese army, who passed it on the sth. The whole troops, but the cavalry, particularly the at tillery are excellent, and keep pursuing the French. Castanos is concentrating his troops, which amount to 6000, and has taken the road of Merida, under the orders of Murillo and the Compte de Penne and Villemur. The enemy seems to prepare for evacuating Badjos. He has removed his large artillery from the walls, and destroyed part of the temporary buildings, tkc. and many loaded carriages have gone to Seville.— Badajos was reduced to the greatest want, and its in habitants were daily dying • yet, on its surrender, it was said that it was given up to plunder for fourteen hours. Islassent, who is still pursued and distressed, is said to be at present at Salamanca, while other ac counts place him at Ciudad Rodrigo. The escorts of wounded, sick, &c. are intercepted on their way to that city by the renowned D. Julian Sanchez, and the militia of Barbacana, who are under his authority, commit terrible havoc among them." APRIL 16.—A letter from Tarragona, dated March 2d, states as follows : The enemy remain quiet in Lerida and fortify themselves more and more. Senor Sarsfield, who' has our flying division, has gone from Cervera to Agramont, to call the attention of the people of Le rida end Balaguer, and excite them to go to Tortosa, whither Senor Coutten has gone with 6000 men, whom he united at Reus. Senor Milans and Don Rovira have left here this day, and gone towards Olot and Figucras to command that division of the army which is collected there. The General in Chief Campoverde steps here to assist at the Sittings, where it is to be considered whether 50.000 more men can be raised and supported. The fortifications of this place are rising in such a manner, that it will soon become another Gibraltar. Camp Marshals Piris and Obis po have gone to the army at Valencia. The Repre sentatives of all the free departments are collecting here to form a Provincial Congress, which will be com posed of the most patriotic subjects. We possess the utmost confidence and tranquillity, and therefore ex pect a happy result." APRIL 17.—The following is an Extract from a Letter lately received from France by a Catholic of distinction : " Oppressive decrees are daily issued from th e Thailleries against the Church. The Stilpiceans, who were lately the supporters of the faith, have been suppressed. Six hundred priests, collected in diffe rent parts of Spain, have been banished to the moun tain of Valais, where they arc not allowed more than three sols a day to subsist themselves. The Cardinals who were natives of the Roman States are detained in France in separate prisons ; they are not permitted to wear the purple, and seem to have been brought for no other purpose than to take the oath of allegi ance to Bonaparte, as their legitimate Sovereign. In this manner also are 23 Bishops treated." MADRID, MARCH 10. On the 6th of this month, from 1300 to 1500 men, in infantry and cavalry, with various waggons of ammunition and bombs, marched in the direction of Toledo. On the 7th, 400 infantry and about 150 cavalry, arrived on the banks of the Gwadalaxara, and immediately marched by the gate of Segovia for Talavera. On the Bth, 300 infantry and 50 cavalry Marched for Avila. There is no doubt of the arrival of Bessieres at Val ladolid, and it is certain that one of the first objects of thii Marshal, according to his agreement with Bel- Bard and Soult, is to maintain the communication by Estremadura and Le Mancha, between the armies of Andalusia and of New and Old Castile. Upon this account, and the apprehensions of the enemy for the Spanish column which has appeared in La Mancha, they have preferred to weaken the forces in Guada laxara, sending part of them to reinforce those which 1 SITTING OP APRIL 5.

SITTING Or APRIL 2. 1 , Senor ARGUELLES made three motions to the fol lowing effect : 1. That the Torture be abolished. 2. That the Slave Trade be abolished. 3. That the Regency communicate to the English Government the Decree which may be adopted on 1 this question. Senor GIRALDO proposed to add to the first mo tion—and other illegal and barbarous oppressions, as handcuffs, chains, icc. Senors PELEORIN, AZUERES, and others, supported this amendment, manifesting in their speeches hit. mane and liberal minds. There was no opposition, and the motion, with the amendment, was adopted. Senor MEIRA.—Let the importation of Negro Slaves be prohibited in a happy hour ; nevertheless, let the question of manumission be cautiously exa mined, as a measure of that magnitude suddenly adopted might occasion great confusion. By the law of England no slaves can be imported into their territories, and in their.treaties they endeavour to per suade other nations to adopt the same measure. Senor Anotreu.es, after having pointed oat the ad vantage of this resolution, even to the masters of the slaves, said, " Shall we give time to the English Go vernment to demand this from us ? (and I think the time is net far distant). Let us aaticipate them.— Let the glory of this measure be all our own. Let us afford this consolation to outraged humanity. I enjoyed in London the gratification of witnessing this triumph of humanity, after an obstinate struggle against all the exertions of the mercantile interest, aided by the most powerful eloquence, on the sth of February, 1807. Glorious day ! on which the traffic in slaves was abolished in all the British dominions. Not satisfied with this, the English have constituted a Philanthropical Society, to make reparation to hu man nature oa the Coast of Guinea." Senor ALcocza said, that having in the meeting avowed his attachment to the cause of humanity, he could not perceive why the same reception should not be given to the propositions which he had pre viously brought forward on the same subject, and which tended to reconcile the feelings of humanity with the interests of the public and thoseot individuals. Senor Anountes.— I was ignorant of those pro positions, I retract my own, and desire that the discus. sion may be conducted upon those of Senor Alcocer. Senor JAUREGIN.-•—lt would he against my feelings if I should oppose the discussion of this subject, but I wish it to be carried on is another manner. If those propositions, and the discussion of them, be inserted in the Diary of the Cortez, I fear the tranquillity of the island of Cuba, which has hitherto been undis turbed. A similar abolition made by the National AsseMbly of France, occasioned the revolution in St. Domingo. I request that this article be left out of the Diary, till the decision if the Cortes. Senor Mexta.—lf it be ordered that this dis:ussion be omitted in the Diary of the Cortes, the same pro hibition should be extended to the other newspapers, otherwise the Coneim will publish it to•morrov.., sub joining our present conversation. It was finally determined that the subject should not be omitted in the Diary of Ore Cortes, and that both the proposals should be referred to a Committee. A dispatch from General Zayas, of the 30:h ultimo, was read, relative to the Expedition sent to Moguer. The Regency added, that by confidential letters, they had learnt that he had previou,ly lost some cavalry, but that one of his letters not having arrived, in which that event was stated, the particulars could not be communicated. SITTING OF APRIL 3. Read a dispatch from General Zayas, which stated 1 that he had completed the disembarkation, when he received a letter from the Government, directing his return, which he prepared to obey; that while making dispositions for this purpose, he was attacked by the enemy ; that the infantry suffered nothing, but the , cavalry considerably. This dispatch was accompanied by another from General Ballasteres, in which he stated that he had protected the embarkation, by making a movement upon Palma, &c. with one regiment of cavalry, and three of infantry. Senor MERALES roe Los Rios said it was very strange, first, that these accounts should be written confidentially, instead of efiria//y, when the subjects were so serious ; and secondly, nat no estimates should be made while the details were collecting, of our loss, or of that of the enemy. A Representation was read from various imprison ed inhabitants of San Carlos, requesting, that, as they had been confined more than four months, they might be set at liberty on bail until their trials were deter mined. The Committee proposed that this applica tion should be made known by the Regency to the Judge of the cause, which was A pproved. Several Members seized this occasion of speaking against the abuse of detaining for so long a time in custody persons who were not proved criminal, and suggested some propositions on the subject, which remain for discussion. iiIRLMM.ENTARr PROCEEDINGS.

HOUSZ OF COMMONS. GENERAL. GRAHAM. The SPEAKER, on 'taking the Chair, informed the House, that he held a letter in his hand from Lieutenant-Gencral Thomas Graham, which he should read to the House ; it was couched i❑ t!lc following terms— " Islam! of Leon, April !Lion . " SIR-I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt if your letter, communicating to me a Vote of the House of CJIIIIIIOIII, thanking me, and the Officers and Men ender my command, fir our conduct at the battle of Barresa. The House must knew that the victory of fiat day was entirely owing to that spirit ei bravery which animates the minds of the Officers and Men, from an innate loyalty and unconquerable patriotism, which anim i te their minds, and which I know will be greatly cherished on re eeiving the approbation of the Representatives of the People. I; was always my own ambition tbat my services should merit the same dlitinguished honour ; and having now accomplished cry wishes, I trust that my future life will correspond with that cell duct which acquired me such grateful notice. lenuit m►, Sir, me return you my thanks for the very handsome manner in %Lich you made me the communication. 1 ant, ta:c." MONMOUTH CANAL. Mr. H. SMITH rose to submit a motioa to tae House on a subject of great local importance, and one in which private rights were not less involved than the interests of the public revenue. It appeared that a boon had been granted to a particular speculation bestowing exemptions on the inhabitants ot a consi derable district, and on grounds which no solid er rational foundation could be discovered. He was clearly therefore of opinion, that when the exemptions Were granted, neither their tendency nor their extent were properly examined or fairly understood. 'fi:e Committee to whom the Monmouthshire Canal Act had been referred, seemed to have adopted the clause conferring the privilege in a very inadvertent manner. They had, with apparent unconsciousness, erected a private Board of Trade, enabling them to encourage at their discretion the import LI coals in a particular place. In the year 1809 a quantity of coal had beta landed free of duty, by which alone the revenue ha I suffered a loss of £30,000. A grant at once so to,- reasonable and so improvident, ought to be recalled in the manner most expedient, with as little delay as possible. This repeal could not be resisted on any legitimate principle, even of a private nature. The persons constituted into a Board were prevtnted from enjoying any interest in the canal, and of course could not lay claim to the possession of a valuable right. — After a variety of additional arguments, the Honour able Gentleman concluded by moving, " That the House do resolve itself into a Commit tee of the whole House to consider of the repeal of such parts of the Monmouthshire Canal Acts as gran ted exemptions from the duty on coals, conveyed by Canal or Railway, and gave authority to the grant of bounties on the import of coals, &c." Mr. JEKYLL observed, that he entertained a very different view ot the question from that of his Hoe. Colleague. He felt himself called on by the duty he owed to their joint constituents to gave all the oppo sition in his power to a motion the most extraordinary and anomalous which he hid ever heard. The clause which his Hon. and Learned Friend represented to have been chindestinely introduced in se Committee, was framed by the then Solicitor General, toe it Noble Lord, and he himself had seen it in his hand writing. The question was therefore neither more nor less than whether, after the faith of Parham:tit had been pledged, and on the foundation of that pledge, capital to an enormous amount had been cm barked in various undertakings, the House no no 4. -....••••1 to ti aka less at tl
