AUGSBURGH, NOVEMBER 23. Private letters state, that Lieutenant-General Count Woronzoff, whom the Emperor of Russia had sent to the King of Sardinia with a special mission, has quitted Turin, and traversed Upper Italy, on the route to Florence. It is thought that he is going to Naples, but ncthing positive is known on the subject. MILAN, NOVEMBER is. An extramdinary courier, sent from Troppan with dispatches for his Sicilian Majesty, passed through this City within these few days. SPAIN. The following letter is written by a Gentleman who has resided in Madrid for the last nine months, and who has had peculiar means of learniug thereat state of the Provinces : " MADRID, NOVEMBER 16. 41 I am far from thinking that matters will be ar ranged in this country without further bloodshed. The people are by no means so supine as they are sometimes represented, although every endeavour is still made to keep them in the grossest ignorance. Combinations among them of an illegal kind are every day brought to light, but the Government at present can take no steps against them ; hardly in flagrant cases. Notwithstanding all that has been said regarding the Press, it is now, I think, more , enslaved than ever, and independently of the public Journals, which are only about eight in number over all Spain, various pamphlets have of late been pro hibited." Other letters from the Spanish Capital mention, thatthe promise of the King to return thither speedily bad given general satisfaction, though an apprehen sion was nevertheless felt, that that promise would not be fulfilled. One communication, dated Novem ber 17, states, that the disturbances still continued in Valencia, the efforts of the Militia and Police having been ineffectual in restoring more than temporary tranquillity. The advises from Cadiz are to the 10th ult. but they contain no news excepting the satisfactory in telligence that the .yellow fever had wholly disap peared there. At Xeres, where it had raged with most violence, of late only a very few new cases had occurred. A courier, who left Madrid on the 19th, at mid night, has brought adirices to Paris, that the King was still at the Escurial. His Majesty had announced that he would be positively in the Capital on the 21st. PORTUGAL The following is an extract from a private letter: LISBON, NOVEMBER is. " On the sist ult. a Proclamation was issued, ac epainting the people that The Elections were to begin cm the 26th of November. This was accompanied '3) , a plan of the number of voters, of Representatives, Am. Every man who was established bad * vete in, the election of a Certain litimber at inen, viz. 1441. who were again to elect 161 Representatives. Brazil was likewise invited to► tend Deputies to the Cortes, as also the possessions in Asia, &c. However, on Saturday, the 11th, there was a meeting of the Go vernors, when they all disagreed ; some wantirtg the Spanish Constitution, and others (four in num ber) wanting to leave it to the Cortes to form•one. " Those for the Spanish Constitution, being the strongest party, immediately turned out the others, ordered out the troops, and caused the Commanders to swear. They all did so except Colonel Sepulveda, who, with his division of eight battalions of Chasseurs, took possession of the Black Horse-square, and drew out his troops on the defensive. The others immedi ately ordered the guns of St. George's Castle to be depressed on the square ; all the heights that could command it were crowned with cannon ; cannon . loaded with mitraille (all sorts) were pointed down the streets that lead to the square, and squadrons of Cavalry were posted in the Capalistia•street and the Pelorinha, so as to cut off all hopes of a retreat. At last, Sepulveda, seeing how he was situated, very prudently, for the sake of preventing bloodshed, sur rendered himself and took the oath. " Last nigh:, about nine o'clock, an immense mob (90,000) collected under the windows of the Govern ment House (they having met that night), on the Rocis-square, and insisted that they should appear at the great balcony, which they accordingly did, at tended by men with flambeaux, that they might be seen. The populace then demanded the Constitution of Spain, with those alterations which circumstances require, and ordered tha. the Members who had been expelled should be reinstated. This being granted, they soon came in their coaches, escorted by the rabble, bearing flambeaux in their hands. The square was illuminated, and at a late hour of the night, this party broke up, and every one returned . peaceably home. " Such was the demand for news on Saturday, that of one paper alone, the Star (of Lusitania), 13,000 copies were sold in the morning, and 900 copies of the Supplement in the evening, by which the Editor made 200 moidores. " The People in general were for the Constitutio of Spain, with more liberty." FRENCH PAPERS. The Paris Papers of Tuesday and Wednesday arrived this forenoon. The Monitettr contains a number of new nomina tions to the ICING's Household. Count de BLACAS is named First Gentleman of the Chamber ; the Duke d'AvAlutv, the Marquis de Botsasum, Count Rana, and Count de RADET, Pint Chamberlains, and Masters of the Wardrobe; Gentlemen of the Chamber, Count de CATLA, Count Rena.; &c. &o. The whole &Itch, with a few •exceptions, is of an unpopular description. M. Pono at Boaoo, Minister Plenipotentiary from Russia to the Court of France, left Paris on Mon- day, to join his Sovereign at Troppau. The trial of the individuals charged with being the instigators of the troubles which occurred in the month of June, on the subject of the new Election Law, has commenced before the Court of Assizes at Paris. On Tuesday the first six of the accused were brought up for examination, viz. the Sieurs Collin, Fagoile, Ada*, Duvergier, Fanchon, and Caron. The following are among the most striking pas sages of the sort of colloquy, so peculiar to the French Courts, which ensued: The accused Fayolie was asked if he was not at Waterloo during the hundred days ?—He admitted that he was, but only as an amateur. Was he not present at the troubles of the month of June ?—Yes ; but only from curiosity, and as- a Reporter. He had become an actor in spite of him self: if he gave blows, it was only in return for blows which he had received ; he might have mad* use of a cane, but he was obliged to wear one from being lame in the leg I Asked, what his opinion was of the intention of those who had assembled in the Fauzbourg St. Ao• toine?—he said, he thought that it was to make the working classes participate in the expression of the sentiments of the people, in attachment to the fun damental law of the State (the Charter). The PaZIODENTYOII must be sensible how ridi talons it is to cry Kee la Mark The Charter is not a being which lives or dies. Fayolk :—We say, rive k France I France can not die. The accused Adam said he had been attracted to the spot by curiosity ; and, when there, had been carried along by the crowd. He believed that the real authors of the disturbances were certain hired emissaries of the Police. How so?—lt was the current report. M. Duwergier.L-It is certain that a man was ar rested crying rsve r Entpereur and was afterwards set at liberty. M. Duvergier, being interrogated in his turn, re fused at first to make any answers as to the facts of his anterior life ; but he afterwards confessed that he commanded the &dere:, at Caen, during the hundred days. " While the tri-colour flag waved," said he, " I would not have hesitated to march against the Duke d'Aumont himself." A number of copies df verses which had been seized pa M. Duvergier's person, aad which wag alleged to be of a seditious character, were presented to him. He diecisimeld any-knowledge of them. •The Passrozwr..—What were you about on the , day of the 6th of June ? M. Dzeergfer:—radasit_ that it may be established that I was at - the haid - 4if the multitude—but what' • ,• of that? It was =thin but a political goalie. - 1 The ADVOCATI•GEXIIIRALr—It is due Mims the, Public Ministry to warn the accused'that such a awl cession is very hazardous, and may comprothise Davergin .—The ivitnesses will make all the truth known. Suppose it so, that I was not at the head of the multitude. . The cause was adjourned till the following day (Wednesday) ; when live others of the accused will be examined in the same singular and inquisitorial way.—French Five per Cents. Tuesday, IS fr. 25c. The assailed may suffer some reverses in the first in. stance, but, as the conflict is one which will call forth both the moral and physical strength of the men of Europe, not according to geographical position, but intellectual persuasion, the issue cannot be doubtful. Oh, blind, infatuated men ! to forget so soon the means and causes which co-operated to your own deliverance from the tyranny of one Despot who im posed on you that degradation which you would now measure out to others ! The following accounts reached us this morning. The Neapolitans continue their preparations to repel whoever may assail them: NAPLES. NAPLES, NOVEMBER to. Va' the be ns• Pi` In? 01lb to to tie tors heir I be ivta V PO. Let sour, Pue a ike Of for en to l a a mesa 454—, The Functionaries and Citizens of Panni, in the , Capitinate, have resolved to -provide for the sub- , sistence of the families of the veterans who have re sumed active service in the troops of the line. The Province of Cosenza have set the same example. The enthusiasm which reigns at Aquila is still the same. The greater part of the inhabitants of this Province have taken arms. There has not yet been any movement of troops in the south of Italy. The last advices state, that the Austrians were concentrating themselves in the Kingdom of Venetian Lombardy, with an inclination towards Piedmont. Sons new French ships of war have arrived in our roads. The squadron of this nation consists now of two frigates, a corvette, and another small ship. Since the 4th, the proceedings of the National Parliament have offered nothing remarkable. In the Sitting of the 9th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs communicated the answer returned by the King of Sweden and Norway to the letter of our Cabinet, announcing the political reform which had taken place in our Government, and the adoption of the Constitution of the Cortes. The answer is of the most amicable description, recommending to the protection of the MOST Nina, his Sicilian Majesty, and the new form of Government established in his Kingdom." All that has been said as to the demand made by Austria to the Court of Rome, for permission to occupy the territories of the Church with a division of 16,000 men, is perfectly false. We know, on the contrary, that the answer made by that Court to the Protestation addressed to it by our Cabinet, is con ceived in the most satisfactory terms, and contains renewed assurances of friendship. THE WITNESSES. (From the lattrassi de Anal. On the 20th instant, M. Tutlon, Police Officer, of , the Police Office, Bow•street, London, arrived at Calais, under the name of Hereuk Samuel. He set out immediately for Boulogne, in order to provide lodgings for thirty-two witnesses, who have been heard in the process,,sgainst the Queen of England. IThey were expected at Boulogne, having set out from London on the night of the 20th, in an English cor vette. h appears that the Head of the Alien Office, and six Police Officers, accompany them. The day before there also arrived at Calais one of the heads (Chefs du Bureau) of Lord Castlereagh's Office, with Barbara Krantz, and her sisters.— The Chcfdar Bureau returned to England ; the two others set off for Strasburg. Mademoiselle De Mont who arrived the same day, has, it is said, set out for Paris. ' [Our Readers must make what they can of the above Notice, which we give as we find it. The Parisian Editors make such havoc with our proper names, that it is often difficult to know who or what they mean]. A letter from Trincomalee states, that the inhospi. table clime of Ceylon continues to make victims of the Europeans—and must continue to do so. The harbour is fine, but as it is invested by mountains, which naturally produce valleys, these are overspread with a thick impenetrable jungle; in the rainy seasons the torrents rush down the mountains, the rivers over flow and form a surface of water, which, on the return of warm weather, changes its appearance, and be comes a swamp. The North-East breeze carries the obnoxious vapours (proceeding from vegetable pu tridity) inland ; but having the land breezes during the nights of February, March, and April, the chilling blasts, pass over Trincomalee until sun-rise, when it 1 becp*pes Cahn and: the miasma hangs until the N.E. breeze again drives it into the swamps, whence, in a renovated state, it returns again to Trincomalee, the same night, and the result is soon and severely felt. It is calculated that it would take a thousand men upwards of twenty years to cleir even a space of two miles of this jungle. A considerable reduction has been made in the Dock-yard Establishment since the arrival of Commissioner UPTON. It was stated that Haulm BLACEwoon had formed a very unfavour able opinion of Trincomalee as a Nasal station. Wednesday night, about twelve o'clock, the Duke 1 of You left town for Suffolk. Wednesday, the Duke of CLARINCE left-town for Bagshot, on a visit to the Duchess of GLOUCESTICR. Yesterday, the Duchess of CLARZSCE went to the King's Palace, Kensington, -tee-meet the Duchess of KIN T, who arrived there from Clare Mont. The Earl of Lorranat.r., baying recovered from his indisposition, yesterday paid his respects to the Ktwo, at his Palace in Pall-Mall. The dress of her Matiurr going to St. Paul's, on Wednesday, was a rich white velvet, lined throughout with real ermine, faced and cuffs of ermine. On her breast were three rows of rich gold-embroidery, with frogs, tassels, Stc. in the centre, and also at each side. Her head-dress was a rich cap (called a tope), is form of a turban, and over her head a veil of Eng lish manufactured lace, in imitation of Brussels.
