This measure was agreed upon at a Sitting of the Cortes, when only ten Members were present, seven of whom were in favour of the mea sure, and three against it. The spirit of party mani fested itself very strongly at Seville, and several Members of the Cortes have left that city, and others who remain have ceased to take a share in its dis-- cussions. The French Papers of Saturday and Sunday last, from which we have given extracts in a preceding column, contain no new official bulletins from the Army, and yet they are not devoid of interest. The French Ministers now seem convinced, that if the invasion of Spain was not a rash enterprize, it was, at least, one of more difficulty than they had cal culated upon. The 100,000 men under the Duke d'A N. GOULEBIE have entered that country, and his Royal Highness has reached the capital, without either materially altering the state of affairs or producing any influence on the Spanish Government. More men and more money are required. We have already stated, that the French Ministers have proposed a loan of 23,000,000 of francs de rente r and by the Royal Ordonnance, which makes the Mar- quis de LAURISTON a Marshal of France, and ap. points him Commander-in-Chief of the Second Corps of Reserve of the French Army in Spain, we learn, that a reinforcement is intended to be sent to that country, where all the accounts represent it as muck wanted, particularly in Catalonia, where Marshal Mor:cmr will scarcely be able to maintain his ground, much less advance, unless he has immediate re inforcernents. Whatever enthusiasm the French troops may have been received with at Madrid, or in their march to that capital, the invasion appears to have had no influence in any other part of the country. The Army of the Faith has not been augmented, but is said to be re- duced almost to nothing, by desertions or defeat. No counter-revolution has been effected in any of the ' Provinces where the Constitutional Authorities have maintained their power, except in such places as have been occupied by the French troops. It is therefore pretty evident that the majority of the nation is not in favour of the old Government : and if this is really the case, the conquest of Spain by France will be no easy task. It was hoped that, even after the invasion had taken place, the good offices of this country might have - - been so far successful as to induce the parties to ac- cede to negociation—a negociation which the Spanish Government might certainly enter on without any degradation, or compromise of honoui or principle. Spain is in a position, notwithstanding the occupa tion of her capital by the French, in which she might so treat; and the Duke of ANGOULEME cannot be so flushed with victory as to believe himself possessing the power of dictating his own terms. Indeed, pri- vate letters from Paris state that the Prince has been so impressed by General GUILLEMINOT with the necessity of terminating the war by negociation; that he strongly urges it oti the French Government in all his letters. - ' From whom the overture is to come h, perhaps, the chief difficulty. We were in hopes that a third party, avoiding the extremes of the Ultras and the Constitutionalists, would have sprung up, possessing patriotism and influence sufficient to stop the further effusion of blood, and to secure to Spain the advan tages of a good Government and the restoration of tranquillity. Such we. cannot but still consider to have been the object of ABISBAL, in his letter, though we fear the violence of party in Spain, as in many other countries, overleaps the boundaries of pruddice. FROSI OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT. " PARIS, JUNE 7, 1823. As I stated to you in my last letter, all the .doubts which are entertained as to the issue and speedy termination of the contest in Spain, arise from the state of the contending armies in Catalonia. The Junction of Molitor with the forces under Moncey, will, not, it is supposed, effect the, ruin of Mina. At least 5,000 men of Molitor's division were sent• to Saragossa, to protect one :part of the inhabitants against another;: he must have lost some by sickness and other. casualties, and Mutt have left some to maintain his communications, so that he cannot carry more than 6,000 men to the assistance of " As the march of Molitor into Catalonia leaves the left wing of the French grand army entirely ex posed, and would be, as a military movement, in excusable, without some motives which we cannot exactly know, it is here looked on as an evidence of two important facts. The first is, that the situation of Nloncey's division in Catalonia is very critical; re port says, that the subdivisions of Curial and of Donnadieu have both been defeated, and dispersed beyond the hope of reuniting them, and that the Come andir-in-Chief is shut -tip in Gironne by the victorious Spaniards.' Ministers assemble almost every day at the Duke of 13el1uno's, and the situation' of Moncey's division is the subject of their delibera tions. The second fact, of which this movement is supposed to be an evidence, is the entire conviction on the part of the Duke d'Angouleme, and of those about him, that he has nothing to fear from Ballas teros and his troops, nor from. the troops which re-' cently left Madrid, and that he may calculate with certainty on the submission and attachment to the new Regency of all the South and West of Spain; in fact, that he has no enemy whatever to fear, but the redoubtable Mina.

Add to this, that the fever is making severe ravages amongst the French troops, and you will not perceive in the junction of Molitor with Moncey any great reason to suppose that.they will speedily conquer Mina. " Thus the whole weight, and probably the whole ultimate odium of supporting what will soon be con sidered as a civil war, will rest on Mina. Let ns do him . justice; even if he should now be conquered, the reputation of a skilful and a brave General cannot be denitd hiao. Forming Jiis opinion of the sentiments of his countrymen, partly from his • own wishes, partly from the eiaggerations of those about him, and partly from the conduct of the late Ministry, he has probably beets • convinced hat the mass of the Spaniards were attached to liberty and the Constitu tion, and -that be was contendini for their most sa cred rights. He was• appointed by the Government to an important post, and though the success of the invaders and the dissolution of that Government should subject him to the imputation of prolonging civil war, of being branded as a rebel to the new au thority, let it be remembered that he has chastised only the foreign auxiliaries of that authority, and the rebels to that Government which he conceived, from its meeting the wishes of the Spaniards, to be, for that reason, legitimate. •4 Whichever way the contest may termiirate, the people have gained. The most violent Ultras ask, if the Government they wish to establish is not de sired by the people? Thus we have the great prin ciple of the sovereignty of the people recognized even by them, and even at the very moment of what they consider their triumph over it. In the mean-1 time, the Ultras seem to have wisely resolved, in their conduct towards Spain, to follow the example of your Ministers, and become, at length, sensible of the supreme power of opinion, to goverS rather asthe representatives of the wishes of the people, guiding these:wishes by their influence, than as appointed by' GOD for this purpose. " The fall in the French Funds is attributed solely to the new Loan." This morning we received the following intelli gence from Bayonne:-- ' Ry the accounts from Madrid we learn that for the greater security of the troops in that capital, de= tachMents have been sent to occupy Toledo and Aranjuez as a check upon the guerillas that appear on those points. • The day before yesterday, some pieces of light ar tillery, fit for-service among the mountains, arrived here; but the mules that draw and carry them are in such bad condition, and the gunners so little ac quainted with this species of service, that it has been determined to let them exercise for a fortnight, during which time the mules 'will became better fit for ser vice. A gabarre arrived here yesterday from the in terior, laden with ready money for the use of the army. A sloop of war of the Royal Navy has also come into the port in a very bad condition. It is affirmed that she suffered in a high gale, of which nobody here knows anything. Some persons, who think themselves well-informed, say, that she suf fered from the cannon of St. Sebastian's, having ven tured to approach too near : it is impossible to come at the truth. Letters from Madrid and Logrono do not give us any satisfactory information respecting the effects of the occ u pation by the French; assassination and pillage took place the very day the Prince entered Madrid; and continued the following days as it were under i bis eyes. At Logrono the Trappist has began, and ins !Ricci the bastinaslo on the Constitutionalists, who are robbed with impunity; 36 of them have left Ithe town, being 'in fear for their lives. The Uni vend contains some interesting articles,, we quote the following : " The Political Chief of Orihuell THE KING. . WINDSOR, MONDAY, HALT-PALS SIX, P.M. His MAJESTY, attended by Sir WM. KNIGHTON, arrived at - the Royal Lodge, in Windsor Great Palk, at a quarter before eight o'clock on Saturday even ing ; and, we are happy to state, in much better health than could' have been anticipated from such a ride, after so serious an indisposition. The KING'S arrival was celebrated in Windsor, Egh am, &c: by the ringing of the bells, and illuminations. Sunday, the KING remained within doors during the day; but he seemed to have rather benefited by the journey than otherwise; and in the evening Lord CONYNGHAM and Sir WILLIAM KNIGHTON dined at the Royal table. To-day (Monday), his MAJESTY felt himself so much better, that he signified his intention of taking an airing through the sequestered rides in the vicinity of the Royal Lodge ; and when I left the Park, about two hours ago, the Royal servants were in waiting with his MAJESTY'S favourite little. chaise for that purpose. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA, when she departed on her visit to the Continent, re quested her Royal brother, the Duke of YORK, to make use of her seat at Frogmore on any occasion which might suit his pleasure ; and'his Royal High ness entertains a large party of the Nobility and his sporting friends there this evening, General GROS VENOR is just arrived, and the Royal Duke is ex— pected every moment. • '• - Every preparation is making for tht - cenvenience of the KING at the opening of the Ascet Races to morrow; but the honour of his .presence - is, I am sorry to say, a matter of some doubt. The Royal Stand, built last year under the inspection of Mr. NASH, has been locked up ever since the last 'races ; and, by some neglect or other, it was not inspected until the middle of .the past week, when- it was found that the roof of mastic, which was suppOsed to be waterproof; had not withstood the weather ; and the rooms were in a very uncomfortable state in .conse quence. The painters and upholsterers were instantly set to work, however, and by great exertion the paint• ing was finished on Friday. On Sunday Sir WM. KNIGHTON inspected the place ; and, if report Speaks true, he deemed it not very fit for the reception ofhis MAJESTY. Yesterday afternoon, the Duke of YORE left town for Frogmore, the residence of her Royal Highness the Princess Aucorrn, where his Royal Highness will remain during the Ascot Races, and will enter tain a numerous party of friends, the same as his Royal Highness was in the habit of doing at Oatlands. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past t wo oclock, Prince LEOPOLD, accompanied by Sir R. GARDINER and Sir HENRY SETON, left town for Claremont. It is stated in private letters from Paris, that the Ambassadors from Prussia, Russia, and Austria are on the eve ofdepatture for Madrid, as well , as the French Councillor Timehu. The following is an abstract of Lord COCHRANE'S farewell letter to. die _captains and Officers of the Navy of Chili : " Gentlemen—As lam now about to take my leave at you, at least for a time, I cannot refrain from expressing my satisfac ' don at the cheerful manner in which the service has been carried on ; the unanimity which has prevailed ; apd the zeal which, on all trying occasions, you have shown. These have compensated me for the difficulties which I have had to contend with, and which, I am confident, have been such as never-presented than. selves in auy other service. Your patience and perseverance under privations of all kinds are such as Chili had no right to expect, and such as no other country experiences, even from its own subjects. " In all maritime States, the strictest attention to the neces., sides of Officers and men, regularity of pay, and adequate re. ,wards for sserricric are- deemed necemary as incitements to per severance and the achievement of effective heroic exploits; but your exertions 'and performances have been independent of all these ouseemense. Gentlemen, by our united exertions the naval power of the ettethy in these seas, though superior to our own, has been anni- 1 hfiatede.and the commerce of the Pacific is everywhere carried on under the protection of the Independent fly. ' * i ..— " To ate it is highly ratifying to rtilect .that those services have not been sullied by an ate of nlegality'or impropriety on our part, and that white you- have asserted the rights of Chili, and maintained and confirmed her independence, you have so conducted yourselves as uniformly to preserve the striate* har mony and good fellowship with Officers of the ships of war of , all nears" Stites. The services which you have rendered to Chili will, however, be better appreciated at a future 'period, when the passions which now actuate individuals shall sense to influence, and when your honourable motives shall no longer be felt as a reproich by those whose selfishness has withhold the rewards of your fidelity, and whose jealousy has denied you even the official expression of public approbation. IA taking my leave of you and them, I have only to adds that if 4 have not been able to evince my gratitude so fully as I mirk; it has not been owing to any deficiency of zeal, but to circumstanoes over which I had no controul. - (Signed),. e.,;‘,COGHRANE, " Valparaiso, JanutrY 16. 4 • i‘ • • • • .. .. . . r nnem • .• . • •; ipi •ii -;%, tr . :4'l'o7 yitE. .2in my 0 the (Valeneia), • has caused the cortiefif :0. die, --...,-7.1 ... :.
