Letters from various Pi evinces of Spain mention that the Election ,for Members to the Cortes had ai redy commenced, and excited every where .the greatest enthusiasm. The people seemed determined to re-elect, as far as possible, the old Members, not only as an act t,f gratitude .ind justice, but because, duri.T the late haoishment of many of them in fo reign countries, they must have obtained acquire ment. v.ilu.►ble to their native land.

EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER PROM BARCELONA, DATED MAY 3. is We have recent arrivals from Costa Pirate. whence some passengers have arrived. Their tale is pitiful. If the conduct of our 'Monarch has reconciled 'aim to his subjects hi Europe, and the re-establishment of the Constitution has made us as free and hippy as we could wish, why should not an union be pre *fared to a fratricide war, that has now totally failed in the ex periment? There is but one feeling among us—why should not this be the case beyond seas? Everything here goes on pro gressively consolidating, and we have, as it were, entered on a yew xr.'. The Liberty of the Press is also doing wonders. In this principality, every individual who can read, however poor be may be, sees a Newspaper.

Everything was con ducted with the greatest order and regularity, and no doubt we shall :Ished in our election of those who are to represent us in the a.l.roaching Cores. Yesterday our Government received a Itoyal Order, by which it Is enacted, that all Friars who wish to have their convents, and secularise themselves, shall be al low, dto do it.

A vessel which left Rio Janeiro on the 17th of March has'hrought advices from Buenos Ayres to ' the end of February. From these it appears that some important changes have taken place at Buenos . Ayres and in the neighbouring Provinces, but not of a nature to threaten much danger to the interests of those engaged in mercantile concerns in that guar ter. A letter from Buenos Ayres of the 23d of February, says Though the public mind has been considerably agitated here during the last three week , , no disorder has taken place. The Governor of this Province, SA RRATZA, is at Luzan, with ann.! Cer Commissioner, 1.. r the purpose of making an an angement with Santa Fe and Entre Rios, and we expect that it will be concluded to-morrow." The .nezociation alluded to has reference to Buenos Ayres, Entre Itios, and Santa Fe. The negociators %%ere, on the part of Buenos Ayres, Don MA NUEL CARRA TEA ; on the part of Santa Fe, Don STA NIA LOVEZ; and on that of Enue Rios, Don FRANctsl ltAmint.z. The Treaty is dated February 23, and is stated to he entered into for the i urpose of putting an end to the war which had arisen between them, for provi,ing for their ulierior security, and for con centra.,in,t, then tortes and resources under one Fe deral Government. The tollouing is an outline of the principal At-• tides of the Treaty concluded between the parties: Alt. 1. The contracting parsies declare that the wish of the nation, and particulatly of the Provinces which they represent, is in favour of the federal union which they new form ; but it I...ecessary that this wish should be expressed by Deputies chosen Ly the free election of the people. To this end there shall be el::ted fur every Province its respective Representative, and the tl..ze will meet in the Convent of San Lorenzo, in the provir.ce oi Santa-Fe, sixty days from the ratification of this Ti eaty.— And as they are persuaded that all the l'rearinces of the Nation aiiiire to an union with one of the contracting parties, they will invite and beseech them to concur, by their respective deputies, that y may, as much as in them lies, promote the general weal. Art. 2. All °Legacies to the friendship and good harmony of the provinces of buenos Ayres, Santa-Fe, and Entre Rios, created by a cruel and bloody war, excited by the ambition and criminal views of certain men who had usurped the power of the nation and despised the instruction of the towns which they rlirevinel i^ C .r.Ercso, being removed, all hostilities shall cease from the t: this Convention, the belligerent troops retiring from Santa F. 4nd Intre Rios to their respective Provinces. Art. 3. The Governments of Santa Fe and Entre Rios, both in their (-son names and In that of their Provinces, recal to the Itroic Province of Buenos Ayres, the cradle of the national li berty, the state of difficulty and danger to which the sister-pro. vinces have been reduced by the invasion with which they are 117ex:coed by a foreign Power, which, with great forces, op. pre.es the allied Province of the Bands Oriental. They leave to the reilectien of citizens, so interested in the national lade 7,ndence and happirrss, to calculate the amount of sacrifices which resistance will cost thos_ provinces to an imposing army ; 4-11 they expect from their generosity and patriotisin assistance °portioned to the didiculty of the undertaking, convinced that, eytrything will be done that lies within the range of possibility. tit. i On the .Itivers U:rit;ay azd Parana no boats shall be auottegi to ply but doe Aim friendly iirtirindes whose tern. tory is washed by the said Rivers. The trade of the Rivers may be afterwards arranged by Congress, to suit the views of the contracting parties. Art. S. Allows individuals who had repaired to Buenos Ayres, (rain political differences, to return to their respective Provinces, and enjoy their private property, even though they may have taken up arms arinst their countrymen. Art. 6. Provides that the boundaries of the Provinces, in case of doubt, Will be settled by the General Congress of Deputies. An. 7. Declares that the deposition of the antecedent Admi nistration was the work of the general will, on account of the crimes by which they endangered liberty. They must, there fore, answer the demands of public justice before a tribunal ap pointed to try them. This measure, it is added, is more particularly due to the Chiefs of the Federal Army, who wish to justify the powerful motives which. impelled them to declare war against Buenos Ayrrs last November. Art. n. Provides for freedom of trade in arms and munitions of war. Art. 9. Provides for the liberation of the prisoners of war, .old their restoration to their respective Provinces. Art. 10. This is the most curious article in the whole Treaty. It states, that, although the contracting parties are convinced that the articles above agreed to are conformable to the send mtnts and desires of the Captain-General of the Banda Oriental, Don Joseph Artie% as has been stated by the Guvernot tit l:utre Rios, who says that he has received private instructions from the said most excellent Captain-General to that effect ; yet, not having sufficient formal power to include him, they have agreed to send lam a copy of the instrument, that, if it be agree able to him, he may enter immediately on those relations which may be consistent with the interests of the Province wider his command, whose incorporation with the other Federal Provinces would be regarded as a happy event. The two last articles provide for the withdrawing of the troops, and the ratification of the Convention. Yesterday the whole of the Cabinet Ministers dined %,ith the Earl of HARROW/IY, at his house in Grosvenor-square. Her Grace the Duchess of WELLINGTON gave her firstfete, for the present season on Tuesday night, at A psley House: and it was one of the most prominent of the many bnllhmtfetes, which, on teat night, blazed forth upon the Fashionab.e World.—The Concert was supported by some of the first talent in the Metro polis. Every part of the splendid mansion was bril liantly Lluminated and the new banqueting room, which was aF propriated to the refreshments, presented a beautiful coup d'cril. The superb service of perce laine, presented to his GrAce by the King of PRUSSIA, was displayed in this noble apartn.ent, upon a num ber of spacious tables, and filled wi.h a profusion of! fruits, ices, confectionery, &c. intermingled with wines and liqueurs of the most riire and costly kinds. Almost the whole World of Fashion m as present in the course of the night ; fur, from eleven o'clock till', nearly three on tie following morning, the carriages were incessantly ri llii.g into the Con, t. The Ladies were, in general, most splendidly attired. The follow ing were among the istinguished assemblage: The Princes Leopold of Saze Cobourg, Paul Esterhazy, Cao telcicalo, Sapieha, Radzivil, and Wolskonsky ; the Princes. Es. terhazy ; the Dukes of Montrose, Beaufort, Argyle, and De vonshire ; the Duchess of Lluccleugh ; the Marquises and Mar chionesses of Hertford, Chohnondeley, Camden, and Salisbury; the Niarquises of Anglesea and Backingliam ;'the Marchioness of Bath ; the Earls Bathurst, Westmorland, blulgrave, Win. chaise% and Harrington; the Coenteases Melvave, Dartmouth, Roseberry, and Warwick ; and nearly the whale of the Foreign Ministers. Mrs. ALEXANDER BARING opened her splendid mamion in Portman•square, on Tuesday night, with a Grand Bali and Supper, and the fete was a most superb one. The hoabe, within and without, was one blaze of splendour; and all the approaches to it were nearly blocked up with carriages. Two of the largest en those noble rooms en the principal door, were fitted up for the Ball, and three others were appropriated to the Banquet. Superb draperies, resplendent and gigantic mirrors, couches, and Ottomans, of the most classical and costly designs ; innumegoble paintings, by the first masters, ancient and modern ; and the tzu •st rate and beautiful exotic and native plants, were a few of the of namentswhich decorated these princely apartments; the whole being illuminated by magni ficent chandeliers of richly cut chrystal glass, which shed a flood of light on the brilliant scene below; where nearly all the Rank, Beauty, and Fashion of the Metropolis were assembled. It is almost impos sible to imagine a more resplendent scene. At one o'clock the Lady hostess led her distinguished guests to the Banquet. It is unnecessary to say that it com prised almost every delicacy which either art or nature have produced, served upon superb services of massive plate and beautiful china ; and set out with all the tasteful decorations of inventive genius. After supper the dance was very generally resumed, and the fascinating scene was not entirely deserted till be tween four and five o'clock yesterday morning. His Royal Highness the Duke of GLoncasrEn was pre sent; as were also the whole of the Foreign Princes; but to g ive the names of the whole of the distin guished assemblage, would be to give a list of almost the whole World of Rank and Fashion. There were upwards of four hundred persons present. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. The Earl of Harewood, at Harewood House, Hanover. square, from his seat in Yorkshire. Colonel Sir H.

AM PACIf Eatract of a Letter from donstantinople, dated the 10th of April, 1820: " An affair has just occurred here which has causes! a great deal of. :liaise. Two Albanians, an horseback, rode briskly up to the door of the Grand Seignior's Chamberlain, Pashow Bey, and on tiie Chamberlain's looking out at his window tb know what they wanted, they both fired their pistols at hitn. The balls whizzed past the Bey's head, fortunately without touching him. The assassins instilitly scam pered off at full gallop by the road to Adrianople. A well.mounted party was in a few minutes in pur suit of them, and at a village about sixty miles off they came up with one of the fugitives, whom they seized and brought back to Constantinople ; the other effected his escape. The Albanian in custody refused at first to say a word in explanation of the extraordi nary and daring adventure in which he had been en gaged, but en being put to the rack, he confessed, what was generally believed to be the case, that he and his companion had been hired by the famous Ali Pacha to murder Pashow Bey. " The fact, I understand, is, that this is only one of many machinations, on the part of Ali Pacha, to take -away the life of the Chamberlain, against whom he appears to have conceived an unexting u ish able hatred. The history of Pashow Bey, for years past, has been nothing but a narrative of hairbreadth escapes from the vengeance of his persecutor. At one time, by means of bribery and intrigue, Ali Pacha contrived to procure a sentence cf death from the Porte against him, to escape which, Pashow Bey fled into Egypt, from the Viceroy of which he received protection. " While residing at Alexandria, some Albanian mariners called on him, and solicited his advice, as a countryman, as to the disposal of some goods which they said they had just brought into the harbour, and which they wished him to go on board their small bark to inspect. Pashow had learnt by this time the danger of being too confiding; lie en: a person to make a private survey ~t tl-e Aibaniaa ves sel, who reported, that ingead ol beir.g laden with goods, she was all in sailing trim, ready to start at a monitat's notice. Pashow of course detalined the friendly invitation of his countrymen, who finding themselves baulked in their too obvious design, left the port with all possible expedition. The circum stance coming to the ear of the Viceroy. so strength. coed the interest which he had taken in Pashow Bey. that he applied in his behalf to the Grand Seignior, from whom he obtained , a revocation the sentence of death, and permission to Pashow to retain to Constantinople, where he has since resided. " The Sultan, I am told, was so incensed at this last audacious attempt of Ali Pacha's, that he had determined to visit him with his utmost displeasure; hut be has since adopted a more cautious, but, per- haps, as severe a policy. He has appointed new governors to a number of military posts, particu larly of the principal passes into Albania, which have been hitherto allowed to be held by persons of Ali's appointment. This is supposed to be a great step towards the ultimate downfall of this formi dable partizan. His agents have been also sent away from the capital, and all property of Ali's, in their hands, has been seized." The Duke of Yoßk left town yesterday for Oatlands. Lord MELVILLE entertained a party of distinction yesterday at the Admiralty. The Duke of RUTLAND left town yesterday, to at tend Epsom Races. The Duke of DEVONSHIRE gave an elegant eizter tainment yesterday to the Directors of the Ancient Music, the Marquis of LANSDOWN, and a large party of distinction, at Devonshire-House. The usual grand Ball given to the Ladies by the Most Noble Knights of the Bath, on their Installation, and which was postponed till the conclusion of the war, is, we understand, to take place on a more ex tensive and magnificent scale than was ever witnessed in this country, as there are fifty Knights to be in stalled. Vauxhall Gardens, and those of Chelsea College, are mentioned as the places at which this splendid entertainment is to take place. - Mr. Must was removed from the King's Bench Prison to Ilchester Jail, under an escort of cavalry. MADRAS JANUARY 15.—The following is an ex tract of a letter from the transport Golconda, Capt. EDWARDS, which vessel sailed from this port with troops on the 20th of April. The letter is dated at Simon's Bay, July : 66 We have arrived at Simon's Bay after having encoun tered a most tremendous gale off the Cape, a poor Lascar was blown overboard, and met with a watery grave. Since we quitted the Coromandel coast, we bad that dreadful plague. the chortra 'morbid, on board. An Oflicer of his Majesty's •6th Regiment fell a victim to it; another belonging to his Ma jesty's 54th Regiment, had experienced an attack, but is likely to recover, and another Officer died of a deep decline. We have bad no small share of sickness from our leaving the coast till our arrival at the Cape. A serjeant and a private of the 86th Regi ment, with one woman and a child died, also the ship's Steward; many had been dangerously ill." CANTON, Dxc. 20.—The Congress frigate is here, and her arrival has excited the fears of the Chinese, ,who constantly keep aimed vessels to watch her.— They have more than once ordered Captain HENLEY to depart. He, however, did not think it proper to obey, and they do not possess sufficient force to en. force their mandate, and all intercourse with the natives is prohibited; the only method 'of obtaining provisions is through the agency of the American Consul (Mr. WlLcox), who, after purchasing the ne cessary articles, is obliged to have them conveyed in vessels some distance from Caliton, to where the fri- gate is anchored.

SWALLOWS.—Tte Hon. DAINRS BARRINGTON WaS of opinion that swallows did not migrate, but re mained in this country in a torpid state during ‘‘ in ter. In confirmation of this, a few days ago, a swab , low was observed near the neck of a chimney, at the mouth of a hole, betwixt the slate and wall of a house in Annan. It continued in a torpid state for nearly two days, and then fell from where it was pe rc h e d. The shock restored it to animation--,it was caught, and found to be the kit-sada rustica, or common chirn nex swallow, and must have remained there during the last winter. ,-
