t', j ; • :=4 11 , r- SPAR* 71toif 7Eit *Tome 07 TUIESDA7. 4 • MADRID, Aran, a. . The infanta blinia Louisa Charlotte was delivered of a pi ince on the 4th, at half past eleven at night. The baptism, which was to take place the next day, is de-1 tenet, becauke the Duke and Duchess of Orleans, who 'ate to be spon,ors, had not cho sen t h e p ersons w h o a r e 5.. represent 'them on the occasion. This event, which was not expected so suon, delayed the departure of the Conrt to A ranjuez. It was not till nine this twining that the king set cart for that place, with the Infant Don Carlos, and the two Portuguese Infanta,. Don Francisco remains at Mad r id till Donna Louisa Char lotte is recovered. The Duke de L'lnfantado and M. Colomarde are, as nasal, the only Ministers whp accompany the King. The first will come to Madrid once a week. An Ex- Deputy of the Cortes, who was concealed at Madrid, tras been arrested: it is the Priest Thomas, formerly -greed vicar of this City; as he is one of those who voted at Loville for the suppression of the Royal power, it is said that the Sala de Abodes has already applied to him the law, which condemns the author of that' crime to death ; but, it is added, that the Archbishop has refused to proceed to his previous destination. It is probable he will only be imprisoned for life. It should seem tom the measures of defence, and the extraordinary precautions, both on the coast of Galicia and that of S . . Ander, and the Bi•cayau provinces, have been caused by information which the Government has obtained from the confessions of Bazan and s•me of his accomplices, and from the papers found on them. If we may believe reports, which are pretty well founded, the following it the substance of this information : . That there is it London, a Directing Revolutionary Committee, of which Mina is the President, and Ito- mero Alpuente, Buis de la Viga ; and Florez Estrada, Ex• Deputies and violent Communeros, Members. That the flawolutioaista at London are forayed Into two Societies, , that of the Labrada*/ did Boars, (Labourers of the Forest), and that of Amigos del Shea. That these Societies are composed of French, Italians, Portuguese, and Spaniards—that they discuss the means of revolutionising, first, Spain ; and that for this purpose the Envoys of Mexico, Colombia, and Buenos Ayres, furnish the refugees with money. The principal expe. dition which they prepare is said to be intended against Galicia, and to be commanded by a Gentleman of that Province, Lieutenant• Colonel Pineyro, of the Artillery, a pretty good Officer, who calls himself the Marquis de BenclAna, though he is only the brother of the Mar. quis. Another Gailician Officer, Banos, I (*Away Poli tic.' Chief of Coronna,_well known for his exaggerated opinions,.aid by his influence on part of the population, of that prt.vince, is it rw at Oporto, and has 6,000 ' muskets, commands on the Spaniah frontier, near Tuy. Two other Revolutionists, Casseda, a distinguished Officer of Artillery, and Pachew, his brother-In i4VI, formerly a Surgeon and a Journalist, a man of real abilities, live at Lisbon, and correspond with persons of influence in Portnial. Societies of Repuillican Masons exist, it is added, at 'Ferrol, Co mma, Santiago, Carthsgena, Valencia, and Grenada, and commu nicate with the Committee at London. That the Ex-Deputlea, Ovalle and I'nlo, are intrusted with what concerns Gibraltar ; and, lastly, that a French Ex- Colonel, who is lame of the right toot, was to go secraly to Split at the end of Februarys THE EVENING.

This forenoon, we received the Etoile of yesterday, by ewes:. It contains a long article from Corfu, under date of the 23d of March, stating that IBRAIUM Pacna bad made several attacks on Missolonghi, and bad threatened it with a generll assault, which it was thought the place would not be able to teals; as the besieging, army was well disciplined, and all the ope rations directed by skilful engineers. The report of Anewlice and IraniWl having been taken by the Teas .. - is corroborated] but the rebooted arrival of Mtoititi with hls beet cif .Missolongbio h not confirmed. It h said that the Griek ISOM IlIa• clamorous (or their pay, and that the iehabitants of HYd.ra Ifistde a iolleCtion for them, which produced 70,000 or 80,000 talaris, and had engaged to maintain the fleet for three or six months. The LORD Mon COMMISSIOURR of,the lonian Islands , arrived at Corfu on the evening of the 20th ult. from Missolonghi, where he remained two days. It is midi the object of his visit was to procure a suspension of hostilities, or secure terms for the besieged by capitu lation, but that both overtures were rejected. It was , further reported that General ADAM, learning that the' SERASKIER had reed :wed, or would soon receive, orders from Constantinople to conclude an armistice, urged it on IBRAHIM PADUA, who opposed it on account of the sacrifices he had already made in men and money, aad that the British General replied, if he did not consent to the arrangement with a good will, he should be corn- , pelted to submit to it. A letter from Zante of the 7th ult. states that the Captain PACHA had been to Modon taking in *visions, of which the troops and the fl et were in great want. The following are extracts z A letter from Rio de Janeiro •f the 13th February announces that Sir Charles Stuart had arrived in that capital on the 3d, only ;we hones after the depar ture of the Emperor Don Pedro. Sir Charles had travelled overland from Santos, and would set out for Bahia on the 14th February, on board the English frigate Diamond. The Gazette Univemelle of Lyons states, that it has strong reasons for believing that the fall of the Minister of Marine at Brasil will make the Marquis of Moran• ham (Lord Cochrane) determine on returning to Rio de Janeiro, the Emperor Don Pedro not having ac. cepted his resignation of the office of Grand Admiral of Brasil. Letters from Rome stale, the English naval foi ce in the Mediterranean has been considerably augmented, and that the greatest part of it is stationed near the Dardanelles. At half-past oste o'clock, M. Ouvrard, who is de tained in the Conciergerie, was conducted in a voiture, escorted by two gendarmes, before the Commission, and underwent an interrogatory. The report of the taking Missolonghi was circulated at Constantinopleon the SOth of March. PARIS, Ann. 17. Letters front Corfu, of the 2Stli and 26th March, announce that Aliisolonghl stUl held our, and that the valiant soldiers of the Cross had hitherto succeeded in repelling every attack. The report of there. turn of the Greek fleet from Ilydra is, unfortunately, not confirmed. Our letters from the Archipelago only tome down to the 22d March. The following are extracts: "On the 9th March, the Turks made themselves masters of the Islet of Vaasalatil . , after a for bore' combat, On the 19th, they teak Anatolia), 'latch made s vigorous resistance. The inhabitasti edited of the Seriskier and Ibrahim, who were present, that their lives might be spired, which was granted. Some Suliot and Mar. nanian soldiers, who were in Anatolia., endeavoured to cut their way through avd escape; part succeed, and the rest perished. " The inhabitants, to the number of 4,700 souls who surrendered, have been conveyed to the province of Arta. Each family had per mission to carry away 500 piastres (about SOO francs), the rest of the effects and ready money was given up to the soldiers of the Seraskier and Ibrahim, to be plundered. During the attack on Vassaiadi and Anatolieo, the Greeks in blissolonghi made a sally, to endeavour to save their countrymen. The combat was main tained on both sideswith great obstinacy; and those of Mbsolonghl, seeing their point of defence in the hands of the enemy, are resolved, it is said, to open theme/Ives a way Co pin positions which cannot be blockaded." This forenoon we received liamburgh Papers to the 14th instant, containing accounts from Sr. Petersburgh to the 2d of April ; an article from Stockholm states that the Duke of WELLINGTON will visit that capital nn his return from St. Petersburgh, and that it some persons even say that be is to.represent the person of a great Sovereign at the baptism of an august infant, whose birth is the subject of general and joyful expectation.' The waiting to be proxy at the baptism or a child yet unborn, is not •of a character with the usual celerity of his Grace's movements ; nor is it very likely that ti.e MKS will procrastinate his return from his mission by mere visits of ceremony, at Courts, so much out of the line of his route. The followi.ig are extracts ST. PETERSDURGH, Arm I. On the 7th of July nest. when his Majesty the Emperor enters on his 31st year, the Coronation will take place is Moscow. The divisions of the Regiments of the Guards and other troops, which are to be at Moscow during the Coronation s , will marsh front this city at the end of this month. The delicate constitution of her Majesty the Empress Elizabeth cannot bear the damp sea air of Taganrog, and the fop that fill the atmosphere in he autumn and the spring, and she win, therefore, soon leave that place. ties Majesty world have left it on the 26th of last month, had not her physician, Dr. Von Stamen, been seized with indisposition. Her Majesty will tee a time reside -in tho tow of Kahle. It is said the Empress Matta will go to the same pleat, and then go with the Empress, ha daughter-in-law, to the Coronation at Moscow. The Diplomatic Body last week gave a new proof of their pro. found respect for the late Emperor, all the members of it having assembed on the 2.5 d in the Cathedral where his remains lag in state, to pay their last tribute of regard. Considerable reductions in our army are spoken of. which will eatend even to the regiments of the Guard.. Yesterday, being the anniversary of the entrance of the Allied Troops Into Paris, his Majesty the Emperor reviewed the Guards and other Regiments of the Garrison, in the Square opposite the Winter Palace. There were nearly 40,000 men, and the whole made a magnificent appearance, which was heightened by the fine spring weather. On the evening of the preceding day, according to the will of the late Emperor. each of the soldiers who was present at the entrance into Paris received a silver medal, with a portrait of his late Majesty. fastened to a ribband of the celesta of those of St; Andrew and St. George.

Oa the 9111 inst. the mob assembled in the Puerta del Sol and Plazs Mayor, and declared their intention to assemble next morning at the gates of the city, and oppose the levying of the new taxes. During the following night the troops were under arms, and the streets in every direction were scoured by the patrols, one of whom, at three o'clock in the morn ing, met a crowd near one of the gates, armed with staves, sticks, and similar weapons, but on the ap. pearance of an armed force they dispersed themselves. The next night, as five Royalist volunteers were quit ting a house near the church of St. Francis, situated in one of the quarters occupied by the lower classes, a petard exploded near them. They immediately cried out that a pistol had been disiharged at them, and spreading an alarm in the neighbourhood, 120 of the Royalist volunteers, all armed, were on t h e spot, and threatened to break into the houses of the negro., and do justice. A piquet of the Queen AMU/ell regiment of Lancers, quartered in the neighbourhood, attempted to suppress the mutiny, but were repulsed ; as was a se cond detachment. Nearly the whole of the Regt. was then called out, and occupied all the avenues to the street where those events were passing. The Colonel of the Volunteers, M. VALLAaus, soon after appeared, and attempted to bring his soldiers to obedience; but, net withAanding his popularity, he failed, and called on the Lancers to charge the rebellious troops. At this moment the Captain. General of the Province, and Go. femur of the place, arrived on the spot, and the V.lon teems were dispersed. The account adds, that tranquillity was re-established in Madrid. Some idestiif the alarm which pervades Spain, may be formed from the circumstance of a few merchant vessels of difFeritu nations having been seen on the coast of Catalonia, when the inhabitants ran to arms, and more than 1000 - were . assembled. As these vessels were thought to hive appeared with no other intention than to revoltitionize,Spain, the Catalonians, during the night, fancied tl: ey saw a host ofConstitutiorrilistslanded, and formed in battle envy on the coast; they therefore commenced their attack, though apparently at a respect ful distance, and continued it until morning, when they ;discovered that their snununition had taken effect on the hOtes in the neighbourhood, «hich their fears had conjured Up to in . inia t ding . army , and seen in every bush, if not an (Meer, it feast a soldier. The principal cause of these troubles,. is attributed to the state of misery to which these people are reduced, and which s more aggravated eget y day, and to that general inquietude which result: from a situation so deplorable. The followiagintelligeice was this morning received flortl the Agent to unia's ; 0 GIBRALTAR, MAami :0. It Is reported that a large Colombian brig Is cruising at the mouth of Cadiz Bay. A considerable force is stated front the Havannah to be fitting out at Carthagena to attack that Island it consists of two line-of-battle ships, several frigates, besides other vessels $ and great apprehensions were entertained In the Island of its falling, from the strong party in it favourable to Independence." The Pi incess Auouses elated - the Princess SOPHIA, on Tuetday. Yesterday morning, early, the Duke of Yorta left town and proceeded to Hounslow Heath, where his loyal High ness, attended b f his Stiff Officers, inspected the Bth Regiment of Light Dragoons, previous to their leasing the King's duty at that station, from which they are to be relieved by the 12th regiment of lancers. The relief of the Bth Regiment takes place two months sooner than the usual time. The regular period for such a station being twelve months, which would not have expired till next June.' The exchange of duty being two months before the usual time, is occasioned by the unexpected removal of the 10th Regiment of Hussar s from Exeter, between two and three mouths before the ex piration of twelve months. Yesterday, about two o'clock, the Duke of Davos units had an interview with Mr. Secretary Caxton, at the Foreign Office, which lasted about half an hour, to make arrangements for his Grace's Embassy to the Emperor Necuous,at St. Petersburgh. It is expected the Duke will leave England on the first day of May. Although his Grace's regular livery servants are very numerous, as the Duke proceeds upon the. Embassy whit much splendour, he takes with him four additional footmen. The Duke of RAGUSA, (General MAIRUONT), who is appointed by the Ktxe of France upon a similar )llssion, left Paris, a few days since, to preeeed overland to St. Petersburgh. The Duke's splendid equipage left Paris about a fortnight previous. The Cabinet Ministers dined yesterday with Mr. Secretary Cannes.

The state of trade in this town, as yet, holds forth no Cause rot gratulatiun. The fund allotted for caws of extreme noceSsl is ex hausted, while the numbers of the destitute continue as app alling as ever. There is a stir in the Silk Manufacture, and several beasts have engaged a fele of their unemployed bands ; a few weavers have likewise been engaged for striped and shaded Gown-pie tes; which, from the taste displayed in the adinitable combinations of the different colours, form a beautiful article. Plain work is considerably duller. Upon the whole, it is believed, that the unwise of the unemployed Is upon the increase; and, under these circumstances, it will require every exertion to be made to mitigate, even partially, the distresst. which day after day is making deeper inroads upon the comfotts of the working classes.

Smarm—The money paid or claimable by distillers in Scotland, as drawback of in. per gallon on wait spirits in the n years from 10th October, 1823, to sth January, 1826, was 517,4791. Of course the quantity of spirits made entirely from malt in these nine quarters must have been about 10,350,000 gallons, or on an average 4.600,000 gallons yearly. The quantity of grain whisky made now for the Scots market is small. Before the recent change in the Scots Distillery Law, the whole legal spirits manufactured was about 2,000,000 gallons, and we do not believe that the con sumption has increased more than one half. The pro bability therefore is, that, fully one-third of the spirits formerly consumed were smuggled, and that, in con sequence of the new law, the manufacture of a million of gallons has been transferred from the smuggler to the legal distiller. It would seem that the cogs! palates of our Irish neighbours are not qualified to appreciate the superiority of malt to grain whisky. Jtidging by the sum paid (10,0031.), the malt whisky made in Ire. 'land during these 23 years was only 200,000 gallons, or about the fiftieth part of what was n.a !e here. The sum claimed by Scots distillers,. under the Act of last Session, as drawback on malt spirits, was 32,2631. The rate is ls. 2d. per gallon, to continue to the end of the next Excise round. The corresponding sum for Ireland is only 1344—Dumfries Courier. A BULL AND MIA it FIGHT.--A grand battle took place yesterday afternoon in " the Alley," between a Bull and a Bear, in consequence, as it is said, of a difference in money matters. At setting-to they eyed one another for several minutes, endeavoniing to dis cover a weak place, which tbe Bear not being able to meet with, thought a hug would be the most advan tageous mode of attack, and therefore commenced I with a/mien:al embrace; but the Bull, who had not been asleep, and who was up to a thing or two, soon (rescued himself and retaliated by tossing his antago- Inist very dexterously over his bead, amidst the cheers of a considerable number of spectators. In the next round the Bear fought shy, and, having The a orst, re treated, without any bones being broken on either side. BALLOON,—Bir.
