_ . twat does not accompany the Knto to Madrid. The' Journal des Dcbats only says, that he will nut enter the Spanish capital. The arrest of BALLASTEROS (noim probable event certainly) is positively stated to have taken place. In another part of our Paper we have given an article from the French Papers respecting his army, by which it would appear they at least are not so ready to submit to the French or the Men of the Faith. The only official article the Aloniteur of Saturday contains, is an account of the audience given by his MAJESTY on the preceding day to the Municipal Body of Paris: when Comte CHABROL addressed the KING in a speech in which he congratulated his MAJESTY on the success of his arms, when victor y-adorned his brows with the laurel and the olive. The speech, which was quite of an Ultra-loyal character, concluded by asking leave to give a fete to the Duc d'Aziooucems and his compinions in aims on their return. The KING re plied in the following terms : $ l l am extiensely sensible of the sentiments expressed by my goad City of Paris. They could not have given me a greater mark of attachment, than by offering a fete worthy of him whom I love to call my son—to him abr. , / is the glory of France and the joy of my old age ; and al though I may not be present, my heart will be with you: . The following is the letter to which we have alluded' FROM OUR OWN CORR2SPONDENT. " CALAIS, OCTOSISS 19. gi A Gentleman arrived here, by Express, brings the news that Ballasteros is arrested by order of Ferdinand' and that the King and the Duke D'Angeuleme agree on no point of importance whatever. Hence it is, that the Duke did not accompany his Majesty to Madrid,., having positively refused that honour. It was the Duke's intention to have staid some time in Spain, to organize a civil Government, and prevent the re-action of the Ultras; but it appears that all his hopes . that misfor tune would have taught the King lessons of prudence are at an end, and he will return to Paris a month ear Her than he intended. The conduct.of the Duke, on this occasion, is much praised ; and, it is assured, that he told Ferdinand, in plain terms, that if his Majesty sanctioned acts of violence and oppression, and perse cuted those who had acted only in virtue of his autho rity, that he would withdraw the aid of France, and le t events take their course. In the meantime, the French garrison of Cadiz is reinforced, and, it is to be pre. sumed, that it is intended to retain possession of it : a hint of this kind has already been thrown out inL'Etoile." FROM THE MONITZUR. PARIS, OCTOBER Is. The Duke de Bourbon has been allowed to take a little nourishment; he had a good night, and his health is satisfactorily improving. PERPIGNAN, OCTOBER 11. A courier, bearing an olive-branch, entered Spain by Perthus, on the 6th instant, charged with a dispatch to Marshal Moncey, and announcing as he proceeded, the liberation of the Bing of Spain. This happy news was received with the greatest delight, and spread rapidly; each person being anxious to announce it to his neigh bours. It was known at the same time at Jonquera and Lampourdan ; and the event has been celebrated by fetes and public prayers. MONT DR MARSAN, OCTOBER ii. Yesterday one hundred and eighty-seven Officers of the garrison of St. Sebastian, including Alexander O'Donnel, the Commandant, seven Colonels, and twenty-- three Lieutenant-Colonels passed through this town. To-day we expect .1,360 sub-officers and soldiers, pri soners, who come from different places. PROM THZ JOURNAL DRS DIRATS, SATURDAY, OCT. 18. NEWS FROM SPAIN, MADRID OCTOBER is. As his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme does not wish to deprive the King of Spain of the honour which will be shown to him by the inhabitants of Ma drid. it is said be will not enter the capital at the same time as Ferdinand. MATARO, OCTOBER 15. After the reception of a dispatch from the Major- General for the Duke de Cornegliano, the Marshal set off for Soria, which is near Barcelona. The negocia tions have begun ; _but the Marshal, to bring the busi ness to a speedy conclusion, has caused the heavy artil lery to advance. From Soria the Marshal went to Ba• dalona, one league and a half from Barcelona. It is generally thought that the sortie which took place yes terday will be the last. PARIS, OCTOBER is. The sub-Prefect of Bayonne writes, under date 61 the 13th of October, to the Prefect of the Gironde, that the state of health at the Lazaretto established at La bourda, near the port of Passages, was, on the 11th, only one sick person and five convalescents. The Duke of Ventadour, Aide-de-Camp of the Duke d'Angouleme, whose arrival we announced yesterday, was received this morning by the King, and had a pri- vate audience. The Council-General of Paris, on the proposition of Count Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine, has requested that his Majesty will permit the City of Paris to give a fite to his Royal Highness the Duc d'Angouleme and the Army of Spain.

FURTHEII 7 irITICULARS. • FROM THE EDINBURGH STAR OF FRIDAY. Our Readers will participate in the satisfaction with which we state, that the FURY and limos Discovery Ships moored safely in Bressay Sound, on Friday last. IVednesday afternoon, the Lord Provost received the following letter from Collector M.Nair at Leith. The accounts were brought to Leith by the Lerwick Packet, Captain Simpson, which landed the mail from Lerwick, and dispatches were forwarded to Government. COPY. "Mr Loan-1 have great pleasure in informing you that intel ligence has tilif; !smmit been received, that Captain Parry has ar rived off Shetland, with the loss of only five men.—l have the ho nour to be, my Lord, your Lordship's most obedient and very faith ful servant, " It. 111'N AIR. " Leith, half-past four r. lc" Circular copies of the above were obligingly commu nicated to the Newspaper and Public Offices on Wed neaay evening. Two other vessels arrived from Orkney and Shetlandl in the course of yes erday. From these various sources, and in particular from an individual who went on board the Discovery Ships off Bressay, we learn, that, of the five deaths reported in the above letter, one proceeded entirely from accident, as the deceased fell from the topmast of one of the ves sels. We are happy to hear that the remainder of the crews are in good health and spirits. It is mentioned as very remarkable, that from the time,' the squadron left Orkney until their return, they had seen but one vessel, and that at a considerable distance, and Dutch built; so that they had spoken with none. We understand that the season was so unfavourable, that the ships were not, able to penetrate so far west as during the last voyage; and we have reason to believe, that the idea of any future attempt will be considered futile. Three such voyages as have been completed, ought certainly to determine the question in one form at least, either that there is no North-west passage, or that no good can result from the discovery of one. We have since been favoured with the following com munication direct from Shetland. We learn from it that the FURY and HECLA left Shetland on Sunday morning The joy manifested last Friday by the in habitants of Lerwick, on the arrival of the Discovery Ships, it is hardly possible to describe. It partook in• deed of the nature of transport, produced by the sudden and unlooked-for appearance of friends and brethren whom they almost gave up as lost, and who now came among them as saved from the deep, partaking still of that life and comfort from which they had long consi dered them as cut off. An illumination of the whole town took place in the evening of that day, and all classes of inhabitants seemed to vie with each other in expressing their congratulatory welcomes to Captain PARRY and his brave associates; which compliment was returned by Captain PARRY from the FURY, and Cap tain Lyon from the IlEct.a. This was not all: some wished to invite Captains PARRY and LYON, with the Officers of each ship, to a public dinner; while others, resolved to have a ball on the occasion; and as the lat ter was supported by the influence of the fair sex, this alone was fixed on, for Monday evening ; but the wind becoming favourable on Sunday morning for putting to sea, the signal for sailing was hoisted, to the great re gret of all concerned. We understand Captain PARRY has not been able to penetrate so far nest on this voyage as on the former; and we trust a fourth attempt will not be made." ExtraCt of a -letter from Lerwick, dated October 11, 1823 I should not have written to you by this post but for-the arrival of Captain PARRY, who, with his two ships, arrived here in safety yesterday. The crews .are, and have been well during their absence, and out of both crews only five men have died, amongst whom are the Master and Mate of Captain Lvon's ship. One of the seamen fell from the mizen-topmast head, and dies' instantly : the other two men died in their beds.. I was through both ships to-day, and ate some beef cooked in London three years ago, and it was as good as if it had been dressed yesterday. I also ate some carrots dressed about the same time, equally good. I . saw a large collection of fossils, stones, petrifactions, bo tanical specimens, &c. &c. But, as I could not learn particulars as to their discoveries, &c. I must refer you to the public journals. The ships were frozen up eleven months of last years Lerwick was illuminated last night, and all were glad on the occasion." A letter from Hull, dated the 18th of October, speak ing of the Not them Expedition, states that the vessels during the winter were constantly visited by the na tives, who are described as very harmless and good tempered, save and except that they are in the habit of thrashing their wives very severely. ANOTHER ACCOUN-T. Although the North-west Passage has not been ac complished by Captain Parry, yet this enterprising Officer has done much towards solving the great geo. graphical problem in his last expedition. In 1821 the expedition explored Repulse Bay, Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome, Middleton's Frozen Strait, and that neighbourhood ; and finding no passage to the northward and westward, wintered in the southern bay of an island, called Winter Island, in lat. 66. 11. long. N. In 1822 the expedition, guided and encouraged by the information they bad received during the winter from a party of Esquimawx, with whom they had esta blished a friendly intercourse, pursued their attempt to the northward, and es aniind all inlets towards the west, till they arrived at a Strait which separites the northern coast of Amet ica from what Captain Parry considers to be clusters of islands, extending northward towards the scene of his former voyage. The great object of ascertaining the northern limit of the Continent being thus accomplished, Captain Parry petretrated two degi ess to the westward, with considerable expectation of final success; hut in a narrow part of the Strait they found the ice fixed in that.peculiar manner which indicates that it is perpetual, and not separated in any season, or under any circumstances. The Expedition was therefore obliged to winter in 1at.69.20. 10ng.81.50. In the summer of this year, finding the ice still fixed to the shores, in such a manner as precluded all hope of any further progress in the neighbourhood in which he was, Captain Parry thought it adviseable to give up the attempt, and return to England. the Expedition has lost, by illness, only *Mr. Fyffe, the Greenland Master, and three seamen, and one man killed by an accident.

Trench, by a secret agreement, made a demonstrari, against the Isle of Leon; all those who could ne t k trusted by the traitors were immediately sent out cia o city to occupy the threatened points, and the gas es yet closed. They perceived the deception, but when it Ir a too late, and when they wanted to re-enter the city ai l were told that they should be fired upon if they p ct . sisted. In this manner all difficuky was rembved, a 44 the surrender of the place and of the KINO becane i mere matter of arrangement between the betrayer s a4 .. 1 the enemy. According to these papers, the whole of the Pree e y army would occupy Spain for six months; after sthid t it would take up a position on the Ebro, leaving a di t i. sion at Cadiz and one at Madi id. It is added, ch ee k order to induce the illustrious MINA to submit, he trial be offered the Viceroyalty of Navarre, and that the Members of the Cortes have been alloys ed to c9sbark ler Gibraltar. A new Decree is also spoken of, for dis. banding the old army, and organizing a new ou t o f 40,000 men. The King of SPAIN has issued another Decree, bet rather of a personal than of a public nature, and mo te expressive of the Monarch's religious feelings than of his political views.

We have received news from Ragusa of various us. fortunate occurrences. In August the heat was at SI degrees Reaumur, which produced contagious dime; that carried off a great number of people. The drought was very distressing. On the 20th the air became sad. denly dark, a fiery meteor appeared over the city, fell into the sea, and was followed by an earthquake, 10 , 4 overthrew many houses, and several persons_ were killed, The sea retired nearly a mile from the coast. The Ent shock was felt in Turkish Bosnia : it caused an immune piece of rock to fall, which, rolling into the sea, stsiick a vessel laden with Rour and buried it with its crew lathe waves. It is reported that a volcano has broken oat in that Province. At Ragusa a tort built by the French and a great number of houses are thrown dowoo STOCKHOLM, OCTOBER 3. The Chamber cf the Peasants has rejected all the pro. poials made by the Committee for an addition to the Sd Chapter of the Budget. A private letter has been received in the City to-day, by express, which states that Baron d'Eanz,n has bees made prisoner by MINA ; and that the latter sot word to the French Marshal (Moucxy), that heis de. termined to sacrifice the Baron, with two French OS cers and two Priests, should the Spanish Governmet execute General Rtsoo. The Russian Governmenthas issued new orders, Whicb add to the extreme rigour that has been employed for some time towards all persons inhabiting the sea cons of the empire, and who are suspected of carrying on contraband trade, or having in their warehouses mn. chandize prohibited by the last Tariff. The Authorities en the frontiers have received the injunction to exercise the strictest vigilance, especially towards the Polish Jews, who are accused of favouring smuggling. A Sp cial Ordonnance, containing very harsh regulations,bas been issued respecting the latter.—Frankfort Paper. The Austrian Observer at length acknowledges that the Turks have been defeated at Missolunghi, and that 8000 Albanians deserted the standard of the Crescent. Accounts from Augsburg state that " General Yee• moloff, commanding Governor of the provinces of the Caucasus, is expected at Odessa.

It is said that the result of the conferences Igloo Count Nesselrode and Prince Metternich will decide the question whether the Russian arms shall remain on the war establishment or shall return to the interior of Empire.

OCTOBER 7, Three o'clock, r. 3 r. Ig MILITARY GOVERNMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF DOR. DOVA-LIVE THE ABSOLUTE KING! EXCZLLENCY !—The fury of the troops of Ballas teros cantoned in this province is daily manifested with ' I the greater violence, in proportion as the joy and love of the people are more warmly expressed on account of the deliverance of the King, our Lord, and his Family. The satellites of that disorganizing faction can no longer repress the sentiments which animate them, and; their perfidious design to keep up anarchy and prolong our misfortunes. As military Commandant of this pr o- I vince, tette of the principal objects of my attention has been to watch the conduct and proceedings of these, men, and to discover their secrets. In reporting to Go vernment the result of my measures, I expressed appre hensions which have been but too well realized. " On the 3d of this month the town of Cubra was the theatre of acts of scandal, violence, and profanation, committed in presence of Genet al Balanzat, who him self instigated those acts, or at least authorised them in concert with the Liberals, rendered audacious by impu nity. On the sth some excesses were renewed a: the bridge of Dan Gonzalo, and were interrupted by the consternation and terror, and the transports of joy ex cited by the much desired deliverance of his Majesty. " The Report which I received this morning at three o'clock, and which I now transmit, will communicate to your Excellency the details of this horrible aggression, similar to that perpetrated by the assassin &gavot Ma drid. I annex to it the Report of the Commandant of the column, who left this city to place himself under the command of General Caro. These two documents will convince your Excellency of the danger with which the province is menaced, if energetic measures be not taken to prevent the explosion, which appears to be im minent, and the consequences of which would be incal culable. With respect to myself, yielding to no one in love for my King, I would instantly place myself at the head of the small force at my disposal, and chastise the delinquents; but the duties of my situation withhold me, and check my ardent desire to wash out with the blood of these rebels the stain with which they-have dis graced their country, or to prove, by shedding my own blood, what a faithful soldier, who has always girded on his sword with honour. can do for his King. Your Excellency will render justice to my sentiments, and appreciate the fears I disclose. I beg of you to make the conduct of the Constitutional troops known to his Majesty, in order that he may in his wisdom adopt the measures which are imperiously called for by a dis mayed province. " ANTONIO SALINAS.* A letter from Perpignan states that Milans left Tar ragona, ors the 20th of - September, at the head of 2,000 men. Lloberas, who was retreating before the Baron d'Eroles, made a sudden countermarch on the 30th, and attacked the Baron at Sidemont, three leagues from Lerida. It is said that the Baron's corps, which con sisted of about 1,500 or 1,600 men, was roug hly handled, and that he lost 700 prisoners.
