He animates gym to i edouble their efforts to obtain the liberty of i hor c, entry, which calinct now be viewed as dis tcucur4dering that Badajoz has been retaken, our tr , . t , ;.- the neighbourhood of Seville, and the move reta of our allies upon the Crudes. 66 Then," he add,, we shall tranquilly enjoy the beneficent con sequences of the wise constitution which the worthy Representatives of the Spanish nation have formed, , and solemnly sanctioned." Mar 22.--1 t is positively asserted, that the allies are marching upon Andalusia ; and Conde de Penne an d Brigadier Morello. by Pedroches, upon Cordova. We are assured, the French have evacuated the county of Niebia, abandoning Provisions, ammuniuon, and artillery. TARIFA, MAY 17. .0n the 13th marched from Vetter towards Casas Viejas and the plain of Tarita, two French &visions, consisting of 1000 infantry and 100 horse, (hi the 14th they marched by the meddle Sierra. General Bailssteros immediately ordered two iegiments to march from Algesiras towards Yedrogobo ; but the enemy timely retired, carrying off sonic cattle. It appears that on the 14th Souk and Semele ex torted a contribution of 100,000 ma's in Ve=er, threatening to burn the place it it was not pa4l. THE EVENING STAR. LONDON. MONDAY, JUNE 8.

Is. pr. Another week has elapsed, and still we have not the satisfaction to announce the formation of a new Administration. We stated on Saturday that the misconception which existed between Earl MOIRA and fords GREY and GRENVILLE, as to the extent of his I,oruship's powers would, probably, be removed, by another appeal to his Royal Highness the PRINCE Isossr. This actually took place—for on Satur doy Lai MOIRA informed the Duke of BEDFORD, in *nog, that he was specially ordered to form an Ad rninisti,- non 4 , on the most liberal basis, and without spy restriction whatever." Lords GitENvu.LE and GM in nediatety Attended at Earl MOIRA'S, where Om suttee,: ot the .:i•w arr•agersients was most fully csavaswicL tisis neLtini i ; tte . cursed in *pinion upon two most itto;'artart points of Nate policy, viz. the septa' of the Orders in Coun -61, and the immediate consideratiosi 4 the claims of fie Catholies—otiler subjects, of mitacar ;nterest, wt r.• also discussed, in which a perftct harmony in senti ment was apparent: But we regret to add that the negotiations were once more inter! upted. Earl GREY is said to have put a question to Earl Monta, to the following ef fect—whether the new Ministers Wet 2 to have the power of removing such great Officers of State as were usually removed on similar occasions ? To this question Earl MoIRA is reported to have answered, that “ although he had no instructions from his ROYAL HIGIINESS to make any reserve upon this bead, yet, that upon public grounds, he could not touter in advising any such removal." This it seems put an end to an interview, of which the Morning Chronicle gives the following account : 4 4 A question was asked, whether the Administra tion so to be formed would have the power to re move such of the great Officers of the Household, as' had been usually removed on such occasions ? To this, if we may trust to report, Earl MOIRA • replied, that the PRINCE REGENT had made no reserve what ever, and the Administration would be perfectly free in this respect . s in every other ; but be submitted that as a preliminary step, he could not on public grounds submit to his Royal Highness a measure of this sett. We speak from report only, and we lament flat we cannot give the precise words of a discussion Von which so much depends ; but the answer of F. 41 Mottos was to this effect—and the reply of the two Noble Lords, as might be expected, w:,s, that they could not hope to secure the confide/It,: of the public unless they proved to them that they possessed She confidence of the PRINCE RIZENT, the only proof af which would be, that he gave them all the powers "which wet* usually conferred on Ministers chosen by 4 Crown. On this point a serious difference arose, 15d the parties separated ; but a minute, we believe, vats made of the conversation, which, we trust, will be forthwith made public." Earl Motu, thus disappointed in his views of f 4 reirg an arrangement with the Opposition, is said to have proceeded in the course of yesterday, to at. tempt to enlist Lords Msevreee, HARl:wrote, and Caressesrsa, together with Mr. CANNING and Mr. rkcsxisson, under his Banners. From Lord H4sner vitae his Lordship is said to have received as ex press tefusal to desert 'the principles of the Opposi tku, but we have not learnt what has been his Lord *es wets: in other quarters. We know also from ~t good authority, that the Duke of BEDII'ORD remains stedfast in his adherence to his political party. A disclosure of Earl MOIRA'S further progress in this important task, will probably be made to Parliament this evening. Sir Wm. GRANT was selected as the Lord Chancellor, both under the late frustrated, and the present pending, negociations. The Great Officers of the Household, whose re moval from office is said to be the sine quz non with the Leaders of Opposition, are the LORD CHAMBER. LAIN, the LORD STEWARD, and the MASTER of the HORSE. The stipulations aimed at by the Opposition in this department of the new arrangement, have been censured as emanating from a rapacious and overbearing desire to engross the whole power and patronage of the Crown. It is but fair, however, to state, that with one exception, to which we shall pre sently allude, we know of no instance is which the powers of a new Administration have been limited ►n this respect. In 1762, when Lord BUTE because Minister, the Duke of MARLBOROUGH was appointed Lord Chamberlain. In 1763, when Mr. GEORGE GREN. VILLE became Minister, Earl GOWER was the new Lord Chamberlain. Ili 1765, when the Marquis of ROCKING. HAM became Minister, the Duke of. PORTLAND was ap pointed Lord Chamberlain. In 176 G, when the Dukeof GRAFTON became Minister, the Earl of HERTFORD was appointed Lord Chamberlain. In 17b2, when the Marquis of ROCKINGHAM became Minister, the Duke of MANCHESTER was appointed Lord Chamber lain. In 1783, when the Duke of PORTLAND be came Minister, the Earl of HERTFORD was appointed Lord Chamberlain. And in that same year, when Mr. PITT became Minister, the Earl of HERTFORD was removed, and the Marquis of SALISBURY ap pointed. The only exception, we have reason to believe, to this uniform principle, occurred in 1806, when his MAJESTY requested as a personal favour, and from motives of personal convenience, that Lords DART MOUTH and AYLESFORD should be continued ; and upon the express ground, that they had never entered into the views of any political party, they were ac cordingly retained about his Majes,y's person. An Anholt mail arrived this morning. It brings fie important intelligence of the unexpected arrival at Benin of the King of Italy (Multa,r). He will of course have a command in the army destined for the invasion of Russia. No blow has yet been struck. The Emperor ALEXANDER remains at Wilna with his army. The Norwegians are making serious re p ,rations for attacking Sweden. They must be in stigated by Russia, surely, for the recent measures of tie Danes have been most conciliatory towards Swe den. The, following are extracts from the journals brought by the above mail : " GOTTENBURGH, JUNE 4. General Narbonne ;Us pan , . tlrouei Rerll3.

" BERLIN, MAY 22. " On the 18th at seven in the morning, his Majesty the King of Italy suddenly arrived here, by way cf Potsdam, under the name of Baron Dery ; he I at the first Inn in the town, the Russian Hotel. The suite of his Majesty, consisting of two Aid•de-Camps, &c. &c. arrived shortly after. His Majesty's journey to the army has been very quick, as he left Napletton the 20th April, after reviewing the troops, and arri ved at Paris on the 6th May, where he remaineorbut short time. He immediately visited Count de St. Mar,an, the French Minister, and Chancellor Baron de Hardenberg. On the 19th in the morning his Majesty was complimented by the General, Aid-de- Camp to the King, ana Major-General M. de Boy stell,. and invited to breakfast at Charlottenburg, where he was conducted irf the King's carriage, drawn by 8 horses, wl.ete were also invited the Prin ces and Princesses of the Royal family, and several of the principal Ministers. His Majesty afterwards re r turned, and at half-past three o'clock received the visit of our King, and the Prince Royal. In the evening he went to the Play-house incognito, with the French Minister, with whom his Majesty suppe4 and afterwards continued his jounney, with v./all from the King's stables, to Custrin. •• Generals Par"-onneaux and Rofute have passed through this city."

BARNES, STEERS and RICARDO hare given notice, in the Stock Exchange, that they are ready to receive letters of application irom those Gentlemen who have been on their lists heretofore for the loan; in addition to these, we L;;derstand that there are two more lists forming ; it 4 not unlikely, however, that all the parties may coalesce. Indeed, in the present state of our finance, we think a loin of 20 millions, which, it is generally expected, kill be the amount, must be looked at by all Contractors with great caution. Hyde-Park and Kensington Gardens may now vie with the most celebrated promrnoir in Europe. The weather, peculiarly favourable, invited an immense crowd yesterday, to the :harming walks around the ftu al !'alas, at Keiainiton. Gentlemen forming a strong troop of horse, took their stations as usual, in the Park, near the wall of the Gardens, where they remained spectators of the &brilliant throng before them. We must leave our Readers to con :eive the general effect produced by the parade. Fancy bad provided a pleasing diversity, and the most ,agreeable tlnts were blended together. Silks, natislins, satins, ,ace, feathers, roses, and jewellery predominated. White, as suited to warmth, was in favour, with ample rasp, or hoods of muslin, well calculated to defend the complexion from the rays of the sun. The equipages outside the Gardens displayed the usual magnificence. Among the company were— Dukes of Bedford, Rutland, Montrose, Beaufort, and Argyle; Duchess .1 of Rutland, Argyle, and Beaufort ; Marquisses of l a. vistock, Ely, Waterford, Bath, Headfort, and Winchester ; Mar chionesses of Waterford, Bath, Ely, NVelle.ley, and Winchester; Lords Aboyne, Arundel, Alvanly, Apiary, Bayning, Borringdon, Lake, Balgonie, Bingham, Delawar, Dungannon, Dufferoin,Gaild. ford, Kinnaira, Killeen, Lowther, Normanton, Sidney Oaborno, Osborne, Palmerston, Tyrconnel, Westmorland, Winchelma, Bm.

Fire-works, when in the hands of an able artist, occasion much gratification to the visual faculties. We never experienced greater pleasure than on Thursday last, at that delightful spot, Ranelagh Gardens, Millbank; as the variety and brilliancy of the Fireworks were really surprising. The Gardens were most brilliantly illuminated, and the Concert too was excellent, and added to the numerous im ,, .-ovements, will serve to render this Te r re str i a l Para dise the constant resort of the Beau Mande. A French gentleman has arrived, who lately vi eited the Frontiers of Poland. He has brought with him a public manifesto signed by the native authori ties, in which they enter largely into the aggressions of Russia, since the partition of their country by that power. They declare their determination to restore their independence,and to re-establish their monarchy; and supported by 100,000 of their brave champions in arms, they threaten to drive the invaders within ! their own bounchiries. No doubt isentertained, that this instrument is dictated by the adherents of the French court, and is intended to assist in accomplish ing the ambitious projects of the French Ruler.

On the 19th, General HILL'S division, con.iring of one British and one Portuguese briga.h, su•prised and captured by escalade, in less than an hour, the town of Almazez, with an immense depot of I)rovi. sions and stoles of every kind, belonging to SouLti'e army.

The only officer I have heard of as killed, is Captain CAMPBELL, of the 50th. 44 It is the universal opinion here. tha: Portugal being new completely clear of the enemy, I.oi d LINGTON will very shortly push into Spain, eitticrAtter MAUMONT in the Nunn, or SOULT in the South. in the latter case, he will endeittour to drive the French .tram before Cadiz—thither, it is reported, two divi sions are to proceed :rom hence Orem.
