PARIS, Oct. 17, Three o'clock, p.m. The following communication has just been received by CoL Pinto 5y an extraordinary express. The letter is dated Bayonne, the 14th and written by Gen. Mendez de Vigo, one of the Constitutional :bias in that quarter : " Dear Friend,-1 have just arrived from Spain, where I have bad the isitisfaction of leaving the brave Valdez at Vidua. As De Pablo and I were •*cable to enter on the same day with our detachments, we resolved to ac company him as individuals, which determination greatly pleased hint, and we urged upon him the propriety of not exposing his valuable person, preferring to take the conduct of the affair on ourselves : he wished ua all three to enter with our banners displayed. I congra tulate you, my friend, upon this happy result of your labours, with the most sincere and overflowing joy. Adieu: you may consider this 3. the official account of the entry. (Signed) "i:To Don Ignacio Lopez Pinto, Br,c." PRO CLA MATION. " P. MENDEZ DE VIGO. " Soldiers!—When unexampled treason, in 1823, made us change the beautiful title, of defenders of our country for that of slaves of an ominous despot, I witnessed your grief and participated in your emotions. Your enemies, misconstruing your conduct, which had been the result of a snare laid to your good faith, attributed it to cowardice. At Tarifa we undeceived them. There a handful of your -ompar.ions accomplished a noble enterprise, and washed with the blood of the invaders the outrages put on the honour of the army. Soldiers ! A new career of glory and hope offers itself to your patriotism. The gallant General Torrijos,in conjunction with other worthy chiefs, pa.. trims, was to have opened it two months ago, and was to have begun the .rent popular movement. Extraordinary circumstances, which partly have delayed him hitherto, strengthen and increase the combination and the forces, improve our political position, and secure more efficaciously the triumph. Well-deserving Generals, patriots, soldiers of all classes, who never were wanting to honour, resort to the frontiers from the most remote climates, where their patriotism and virtues had kept them confined. France and other nations have given us a sob. Ilene lesson ; and the hearts of all Spaniards, moved by such heroic examples, expect from us the signal to break their chains. Soldiers !—The French Army, without disregarding either duty or mi litary honour, has heard the voice of its country, and the world adjudges them applause and laurels• Desert, then, the ranks which dishonour Tem, and come to swell the number of the brave who follow me. Come, eolelierh ! and add to the name of citizens of a free people that of Meta tars. Soldiers !—All those who assist the generous enterprise of giving liberty to the nation are our friends, be their former party or denomirui. ..ion what it may; and those are our enemies who, with arms in their hands, oppose our march. The axe of the law only shall punish the 'alter delinquents. (Signed) I'iduo, the 13th October, 1830. FRANCISCO VA LDEZ. From 1h Prcoursor of Oct. 17. The following Proclamation, attributed to Col. Alex. O'Donnel, has lately been circulated through the northern provinces of Spain ; " Spaniards !—The just cause of national freedom must triumph, :a spite of the efforts of the fanatic party, which exerts itself to dis plrage the merits of those who, in order to support the legitimate rights of the country, have suffered, all kinds of misfortunes, perse cution, and even proscription. Let them now return to their country, but not with those sentiments which their mortal enemies attribute to therm—namely, a determination to plunder, assassinate, destroy, and seek revenge for the injuries they have experienced ; but, with a very - 11fferent spirit, to embrace their brethren, to mingle their tears of ten. derness with those of their fellow.subjects, and by so doing renew the memory of those days of tranquillity which they enjoyed at a former period ; and, in particular, that they may return to their homes in order IA find their peace, to establish it where It does not exist, to consolidate :lion and concord amongst all Spaniards, and to aid in fixing the G,verinnent in a permanent form, which may conciliate all interests, And make the people happy in every respect. Spaniards, give no be. lief to any thing you may hear to the contrary of this; and, persuaded that the exertions of your fellow-countrymen are only directed to the 'urination of Spain into one great family, be reconciled from your anima ,tics, forgetting the past for the sake of the present; and above all, let the most perfect unanimity reign among you, joined to the most solid tranquility, order, and security. These are their intentions, and .he results cannot fail to be successful when they are the work of brave •nen, aided by General Aline." A traveller, just arrived from Marseilles, and who left Cadiz about .he middle of September, stated, that although at that date the autho. :ity of Ferdinand was not absolutely abolished, the revolution might, in point of fact, be considered as effected, such was the state of excitement s hich operated on the minds of all, and the spirit of liberty which .xisted, that persons upon meeting each other spoke with the greatest :, , ntidence, and announced the approaching overthrow of the tyrant. (From the Indicateur of Bordeaus, dated Oct. 13.) FRONTIERS OF SPAIN, Oct. s.—The success of the long.wished ,et regeneration of Spain, only now commences to indicate a degree of probability as to its results, which was not presented heretofore, owing to the various contradictory accounts and the equivocal situation of %otne of the actors in this new revolution. Always ignorant of the views and the preparations of General Mina, Col. Valdes, assisted by some officers attached to his cause, was acting in a sense different from that of the General. The firmness of the latter, the weakness of the others. got the better of all trivial feelings of resentment, and the ego titt Tarita has not been able to withstand any longer the influence ..f Mina. A junction of all the officers at Bayonne took place the day at f..re yesterday, at the house of a military man in that town. Mina e r a( med himself to them for the first time. Ilis presence and die . ourse dissipated all their fears and irresolution. Mina was pro lititned the chief and the centre of all operations: Pastor, Champa lancara, and Valdez recognised his right of precedence. From hence- Serth there can be no more apprehension as to the result of this en tcrprise, as it is now under the direction of General Mina. Several de tachments of refugees have arrived ; Lopes Banos is also here, with se %eta other officers of distinction. A proclamation of Mina, of a very arudent description,was issued the day before yesterday. After that docu oitet, the re-entrance of the Spaniards into their country must follow as t matter of course, :.rid without loss of time. Generals Butron and Es. ;nous.) arc among the number of the officers who have arrived at Bay- Letters from Madrid, dated the 4th of this month, announce I;.at F(111;:atal is preparing to make an excursion to till Castile, and .• n e intends extending his journey as far as the frontiers of Portugal. i - ;.ls. pt jest will explain the motive for collecting so large a body of stoop s is 01(i Lstile. The persecution against the French has ..omtncr,ettl in Spain. Amongst several of our countrymen who t•aee fit the rcngh hand of despotism, may be mentioned M. I...cabaue, a lar t7 e proprietor at 1 rloron, who lately arrived from Madrid, and wno only es-aped the brutal ferocity of the Spanish popu :.)ce by a hasty flight. (?!1 arriving in a village not far from Burgos, M. Lambaue, tl by his wife, was there assailed by the po ,nalace, who pursued : : with the cries of " Death to the French!" trial fired several gon.shets at him. He has, however, been able to tfect his escape into France, but he heard on his way several reports of ohms outrages committed on French subjects in the provinces. M. ...eabaue, who is a man cf great respectability, made a representation the authorities, nn arriving at Bayonne, and gave them the whole ..titulars of the transaction. The Ambassador of Sardinia at the hurt of Madrid has arrived at Bayonne, on his route from Italy. Ile et out to-morrow for Spain. (From the Courrier Francais of Sunday.) MabklD, OCT. 7.—The liberal feeling which reigns at Cadiz keeps ' • King and his Ministers in a constant state of inquietude ; the latter, ir.

Wi!!C!: was presented by a Commission, composed of the Marquis of Casa Yroje, the favourite of the King. of the Count Venadito, of the Count Guaqui, and the Duke of Hijar. This; address was dictated to the municipality and the commercial Junta of Cadiz by the above persons, and was to the effect, that the; inhabitants of that place entertain the greatest loyalty for his Majesty. But although they thus endeavour to lull the King's fears by such pretcs•ations, not a day passe.4 without obstinate rencontres between the royalist volunteers and bands of men, whom our journal designates with the appellation of robbers, and who form the party of the discontented The faction of the Apostolic Car lists is at present actively engaged in inducing the King to annul the sentence of banishment against its principal Chiefs. It is very probable that Calomarde will obtain the pardon of his colleagues. Two events now engross the whole attention of the King—the aceoucheinent of the Queen, and there-union of the emigrants upon the frontiers. FR INCE. From the Comititutionnet of Sunday. A pamphlet entitled " Reclamation% d'un Francais," and attributed to the pen of M. Nugent, has just been seized by order of the King's Procurcur, who has required an accusation, and who issued against the author a summons to appear, and another against the printer. From the Quolidienne of Sunday. The Prefect of the Seine has expressed a wish that the Chamber of Commerce should hold an extraordinary meeting to-morrow, at which he intended to preside. It is said that the Deputies nominated by the city of Paris have also been invited to attend this meeting, and take part in the discussion. It appears that one of the most impor tant questions relating to the commerce of the capital is to four, the subject of discussion—namely, that with respect to the entrepot ; and it is also stated that the Prefect has convoked this meeting with - the view of counteracting by the opinions of the members of the Chamber of Commerce, all those objections which have been brought against the existence of the etarepot at Paris. A young man named M.--, who, about two months since, came into the possession of 200,000 francs, aad who lately lost the entire of that sum, blew out his brains the day before yesterday in the Rue Monthabor. (From the Gasclie de Frantic of Monday.) CHAMBER OF PEERS. SITTING OF TUI: IGTU OCTOBER. M. D'Argout brought up the report upon several petitions. One of them gar.! rise to a long discussion. Several of the petitioners state that, being the bearers of a sentence against one of the heirs to a peerage, they presented an Address to the President of the Tribunal of First Instance, who considered it indispensable to have :he sanction mentioned in the 29th Article of the Charter, and sent them back to the President of the t :bomber of Peers. These questions, 01).., reed the Reporter, are painful and delicate, and they have been twice solemnly discussed by the Chamber. It is asked whether the authorization should be demanded by petition or requisition, and how the discussion should take place ? Should the Chamber be constituted into a Court of Justice, to judge of the plead ings, or upon the production of documents ? Should it examine the justice of the decisions which are sought to be enforced, or pronounce a simple exequatur. And, finally, are the officers of the Chamber to be called upon to act A special committee was appointed to inquire into those questions, and upon the report of M. Lalley it was determined that no general decision was to be pronounced, but that It should be guided by the facts of each case, which might be different. The close of the Session put a atop to the application for this decision. At the end of two years • new petition was presented on the same subject, and, upon the above-mentioned decision, the Chamber passed to the Or ders of the Day with a weak majority • and the interest excited by the debate showed how deeply the Chamber was connected with this question. Twelve sittings were devoted to its discus.' lion, and seventy orators were heard ; however, the Chamber remained divided by three opinions, the.least absolute of which referred to the examination of particular cases. In this state of things, observed the orator a proposal was directly m a d e to t h e Ch am b er, to refer t h e examination of this delicate question to another Commission. These conclusions are adopted, and a Commission, composed of MM. Leine, Portalis, Molten, Brissac, Mortemart, has be en appointed. The Minister of Justice presented a project of law relative to the suppression of the Juges Auditeurs. A discussion upon the credit of 30 millions was then commenced._ M. Le Comte Roy observed that the dispositions of the project, how. ever generous, were, he was certain, contrary to public prosperity. If it were a certain maxim that the State ought not to interfere with private fortunes, ignorant of the success of individual speculations, It ought also to be ignorant of the chance of losses. The English Government never interfere under such circumstances. If he was to be referred to examples of this nature during the empire, he would answer, that the evil once committed, did not authorise a continuation in such a, line of conduct. Besides, those succours, the' inutility of which was now acknowledged, were drawn from a particular fund, which was the fruit of the conquest. It has been observed that this was a measure dictated by policy ; but was the object to procure occupation for workmen ? If so, the State would give the measure its support; but such was not the case—this fund was to be distributed to merchants to relieve theta from specu. lationa already of an old date, and to manufacturers who would be enabled to cope with others who had not a share in the distri bution. They could not thus create an unjust privilege, besides there ' would be no advantage for those who would take part of the distribu. tion, as they would be only changing creditors, and substituting the State for those who would be paid out of the public Treasury. There were many other objections to the measure, and he, therefore, thought it his duty to vote against it. After a debate, in which 31M. Moor. tier, De Barante Lahti!, and Guizot, took a part, the law was adopted. The Chamber also adopted the law upon the importation of corn, and thus terminated the sitting. ( From the Afessoger des Chambres of Sunday.) AFRICAN EXPEDITION. ALGIERS, SEPT. 27. To-morrow the first regiment will leave this place for Toulon, in five vessels belonging to the division, and, as soon an other trans ports can be obtained, the other regiments will be sent home. There are at present in all the military hospitals about 1,400 sick, and about nine hundred in the regimental hospitals. We have enough of corn to last us for two months, a quantity of brandy, a good supply of forage, and our markets are well stocked with cattle. Several vessels have been sent to Naples and Sicily, to procure straw and bedding for the troops. All the soldiers will be under cover olcomfortable houses as soon as the wet season sets in. The horses of the artillery and those of the regiments of the African Chasseurs will be placed under cover. In fine, every precaution has been taken to pro tect the troops from any injury from the climate. We, however, appre. bend that, in the next month, toe number ill from fevers will be greater than at present. The Commander.in-Chief has announcl:d the kind intentions of the King towards the army. This communica„l tion was received with joy and gratitude. The army are flat tered in thinking that the King relies upon them as they do upon his I I Majesty. A serious accident has just occurred at the old magazine. It appeared that proper care had not been taken of the powder left in that place, and an order had been given to convey it to the magaziac belong. mg to the larmy.l•The conveyance of it had been nearly concluded, when one of the - workmen, in endeavouring to raise a plank from the floor, in the joinings of which some grains of powder had fallen, let a spark accidentally fly, which caused an instant explosion. A number of workmen have been seriously injured, and twenty so severely burnt that they have since died. The greatest precautions have been taken to pre. vent the recurrence of any similar accident. PARIS, OCT. 17. The financial measures proposed by the Ministers have definitively passed the Camber of Peers. The law on the petty loan of three mil. lions to be advanced to the merchants, as well as the much better work respecting the law of the corn trade, were adopted in the Session of Satur. day. The position of Ministers betrays itself by the manner In which M. Guizat supported the discussion respecting the former of these laws. All France begins now to feel the false course Ministers have taken. A month ago the elections would probably have run in their favour. Now the opinion of the provinces coincides with that of the capital. It is probable that the new Deputies will in general reinforce the left side, and that there will be a great number of new men among them, who are virgin soil as to connections with the coteries of the restoration, or the servility of the empire, but belong entirely to new France. Serious apprehensions are entertained about the state of the popu. lation of La Vendee, which is said to be organised by the Carlists, and ready to declare themselves in a state of open revolt. However, the danger is not so very threatening, since General Lamarque, who has the command of the Western departments. especially watching over La Vendee, has not yet left Paris, where I saw him this evening. Some assemblages of the people took place last night, but they were in offensive, and easily dispersed. The business of the ex-M inisters, which was the pretext, continues to trouble every mind, and shakes public security. Thousands of placards are stuck up which demand their death. The awkwardness of the Address of the Chamber to the King, and the want of skill of the Ministers to extricate themselves, was the coup de grace to their consideration.—Pei rate Letter in the Herald. His Majesty has signified his intention of honouring Drury-lane Theatre with his presence on the 28th inst. We understand that the Doke of Orleans has expressed his intention of again visiting this country, next summer, if the state of France should permit him to be absent. He has received a pressing invitation from one of the members of our Royal Family.--Cenraotsr Mr. Herries left town on Saturday, for bis seat, near Sevenoaks. Count Ludolf, the Neapolitan Minister, had a conference with the Duke of Wellington on Saturday. at the Treasury. Viscount Melville and Viscount Botsford had interviews with his (trace on Sa turday. LITHOGRA; • li I' . IL is u4id, u gran truth, by .51r. SAUSAGE, that the hest disco verer of an a'.isteact physical fact seldom receives any rewind for his discovery. however important may be its results ; nor even often does he who is ingenious enough first to apply the new fact to a useful prac tical purpose, receive from society his due share of reward. —On the contrary, the philosopher, who in his laboratory or study, points 0.11 an abstract principle. has died often without his merit being known ; and not only so, but in general the first man who ! the penetration or good fortune to perceive its prac tical importance, and to make the attempt to bring its utility into no tice, has very otter done so, to the ruin of his own fortune. We could easily illustrate this remark, but cannot spare apace at present. It has been suggested to us, by reflecting upon the history of lithography. This art, it is well known, was invented a few years ago, by a German of the name of Senefefder, who merely applied in practice a chemical fact, which had been always universally known to ail man. kind, namely—that oil and water will not unite. We are ignorant whether Senejelder reaped, or is reaping, the fruits of his application ; but we perceive every day the importance of his discovery. Only a few weeks ago, we were favour...l with a sight of a folio volume, beau tifully lithographed by the natives of Bombay, in the Persian character, under the instructions of an amiable and enlightened Officer in the E.sst India Company's Service.—Thus, the art of lithography, in acme degree, supplies the use of typography: The constant application of this art in its more humble font, to extend the uses of calligraphy, is daily, hourly, before the eyes of the public ; while no person of taste for the arts can be a stranger to the many beautiful specimens of this useful art, which have lately been produced by the artists of both France and England. All that which has yet been accomplished in this new art—and we have seen much to admire—is how tar surpassed by an artist in this metro polis, who has proved that lithography can produce an effect unequalled by any branch of engraving. A print has been published by 51r. It. 3IAkTINT, of 124, High Holborn, with a copy of which we have been favoured; and as we think it a curiosity in the arts, we should not feel ourselves justi fi ed, w ere we not to di rect pu bli c attention to it. In a space of 10 inches by 8, the artist has, with much ingenuity. introduced spe cimens of almost all the kinds of delineation to which Lithography can be applied. The print contains a portrait, a whole length miniature, delineations of subjects in Botany, Anatomy, Conchology, Geography, Armoury, Statuary, Calligraphy, Ileiroglyphics, Machinery, Land scapes, Drapery, and innumerable objects which cannot be classed. The execution of the whole is exquisitely minute and distinct. There is a soft ness united with a minute clearness of line, which displays the beauties of steel engraving, without its well-known faults; and reminds u. frequently of some curious specimens we once saw of pen-and-ink draw. ing. On the whole, we do not think it possible for any species of the delineative arts to unite so many peculiar qualities. When we first saw this specimen, we could not believe it to be lithographic; and we took it to a friend—an artist of great taste and ability—who was equally eaten. ishedwith ourselves at the production.ll ad it not been from this gentleman's opinion confirming our own, we might not, perhaps, have ventured to express ourselves so strongly; but our friend, who is an adept in the art of lithography himself, has assured us, we cannot express too strongly the original merit of the artist who has produced it. With such impressions, we notice with surprise, In the Court Journal, that the very print which has thus called forth our encomiums, is mentioned in, a very ambiguous style of criticism. It is said "to display lithe skirl in the artist ; and yet evince, in a striking manner, the capabilities of the art." Now, this—t: say the least of it—is, to us, very unintel ligible. THIL4TItES. DRURY-LANE. Last - night I irginius was played at this As hag been said of Mrs. SIDDONS's Lady Macbeth, to write on MACREADY'S Ls to write an eulogy. It is a piece of perfection; fraught with all the stern and honourable dignity of the old Roman, humanized by the deep and tender feeling of the 'went. MACREADY was received with en. thusiasm—and he merited this reception. Ills first scene with Virginia was truly beautiful-..every tone, every word breathed the anxiety of the father. But, indeed, it would be useless to particularise any part, where all was excellent ; wbother considered with reference to the energy and strong feeling of the character, or to its more affecting and subdued points. How truly exquisite was his remark to Virginia, when stop. ping in the full torrent of his passion, he exclaims, " I never saw you look so like your mother." It was full of a deep pathos that spoke the heart of the parent, melting et the sweetest and fondest recollections. His scene before Appius, when he speaks to Sereia to identify Virgi nia, abounded in natural touches that absolutely thrilled us. On the falling uf the curtain, the senseless clamour, usual on such occasions, was repeated, and MACREADY was e,alled on to give out a repetition of the Tragedy, which ha announced for Monday next. WALLacc's kiiitts was highly effective and energetic, and C OOPER ' S M ac i as Den is:ha was replete with a sharp and caustic humour, fully characteristic of the part. Miss PHILLIPS Is the very being for Virginia—her maidenly innocence shines out at her eyes. We must not omit to give all praise to Mrs. BAILEY'S &Trio. It is rarely we see so trifling a part played so efficiently. The house was fully attended. - - COVENT-GARDEN THEATRE.. After the tragedy of Isabella, in which character Miss KENBLE re. cclved the accustomed weed of applause, u melo-drama, in three acts, called 7he Blue Anchor, or a Tar for all Weathers, was performed for the first time. The concise sketch of the plot was this :—Shark, the owner of a smuggling lugger having robbed Harry Bl a r(C oogE ) of his estate, end e avours t o inflict an additional injury, by car. rying off his sweetheart Sally, daughter of Ton Bowline, an old seaman retired from service, and carrying on the trade of a fisher. man. Harry Moffitt a petty officer on board the Shark, revenue cut. ter, and being on the look out for smugglers. several hostile situations occur. Jerry;Crape (Keely) a cockney aloreller, in love with Besse, Bowline, the other daughter of the old tar, and, by his peculiar tact in deceiving the smuggler, is the means of defeating all the designs of Shark and his crew. The scenery was beautiful. The last scene but one, displaying cliffs upon the coast, with a light-house at day.break, excited genial admira tion. The destruction of the smuggler's vessel, in the last scene, was loudly applauded. KEELEY was comic throughout the piece, and all the performers did justice to their parts. T. P. CoogE proved himself the " Tar of all Weathers," and cane in flor a large share of applause. When asked by the smugglers whether ne expects promotion in the Navy ? he observes—" Why, yes. Formerly promotion at the Admiralty was given in a lubberly way, but now,we have a King who attends to business himself,"— In a glee, he says, " the King is the King of good fellows, and the Queen, the Queen of good fellows." All these loyal allusions were loudly applauded. The piece was given out for repetition amidst loud expressions of opprobatiou. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
