THE SPANISH REGENCY DEPOSED. When it was fist announced that the Duke d'An cout.zrast was prepaiing to leave Madrid, we stated that the principal motive for taking this step was to rid himself of the Regency, who by their violent and indiscreet measures were a serious embarrassment to him. This opinion has been fully confirmed : and at a late hour this forenoon we received a second Ex press from Paris, bringing a most important Decree, issued by the Duke d'ANnouLEmn at Andujar, on the Bth instant, which may be considered as entirely superseding the authority of the . Regency, and that of all the per s ons under them. The autho rity thus assumed by the Duke d'AtinouLEmn was' necessary, to enable him to offer the necessary guarantees to the Cortes in case of negoci.ttion, and removes the most serious obstacle to a peace ful termination of the struggle. It however remains to be seen whether the Regency. will tamely submit to be thus virtually deposed, and to bear the name and semblance of authority without power to execute it. The following is the IMPORTANT DECREE. 4 ' We, Louis Anthony of Bourbon, Son of France, Duke cf Angoulenie, and Commander-in-Chief of the Army of the Pyrenees ; " Considering that the occupation of Spain by the army under our orders imposes on us the indispen sable obligation of providing for the tranquillity of this kingdom, and for the security of our troops, we have commanded, and do command, as follows: " Art. 1. It shall not be lawful for the Spanish Authorities to confine any one in prison without the intervention of the French Commanders of our troops, " 2. The Commanders-in-Chief of the Corps under our orders, shall direct the release of such as have arbitrarily been Impri soned for political reasons, especially the etilitia that are return ing to their homes, excepting, however, those who after their restitution shall have afforded motive for complaint. ' 5. The Commanders-in-Chief of- the Corps are authorised to apprehend ail those who shall contravene the present Order. " 4. All periodical publications, and all conductors of news papers (periedistes), are under the surveillance of our troops. " 5. The present Decree shall be printed and posted up everywhere. " Gives at Ando*. August 8,1823. (Signed) " LOUIS ANTHONY. “ By orders of his Royal Highness, •' GUILLEMINOT: EXPRESS FROM PARIS. This forenoon we received the Moniteur and other Paris Journals of Monday, and the Pilate of yesterday by Express. The Moniteur does not contain a single paragraph of political intelligence from Spain, except some extracts from the Journal des Debats and F.toile of the preceding day. We have also received a pri vate letter from our own Correspondent in Paris, written on Monday last, which states that the Duc d'ANaormastz would arrive before Cadiz last Sunday. No official intelligence of that event could well reach Paris before the 24th or 25th, but it was confidently believed by the French Government, that the ar rangements for giving up Cadiz were so far ad vanced, thit the Duc d'A NGOULEME would enter that city within two days after his joining the besieging army. Our Correspondent does not doubt that the nego ciations for terminating the war will have a success ful issue; and mentions, as a proof of the prudence and moderation of the Duc d'A NGOULEME, that he would not permit Count JEOFFROY to reside at Madrid. This person, it will be recollected, was at Verona, and published some papers on the Con gress, which ultraed all the ultra arguments for re storing Farms:AND VII. to his former power. Count JECTPROY is said to be the agent of a foreign Court, which employs him to attempt at all hazards the full restoration of the ancien regime in Spain. The following are extracts from the French Papers : FROM THE PILOTE OF YESTERDAY. PARIS, AUGUST 19. NEWS FROM THE FRONTIERS. ENVIRONS oP Sur. Maus? B. The musketry continues firing every day from the forts and town ; not a day passes without some per sons being wounded or killed on one side or the other. For some days past no bombs have been thrown on the town; but it appears they are going to recommence, as yestetclay, in the afternoon, six or seven bombs fell in the town. Mina has imposed a contribution, or a loan, of 200,000 piastres on the principal merchants of Bar celona. Provisions are abundant in that town, but meat becomes scarce. It is said that Marshal Moncey has demanded im mediate reinforcements. General Donnadieu arrived this evening at Per pignan. BAYONNE, AUGUST 9. The Empecinado continues in the neighbOurhood of Ciudad Rodrigo. Palencia has demanded troops to repulse the attacks of the Constitutionalists. It is said that Riego will have the command of the troops which are under the orders of the Cortes. FROM THE ETOILE OF MONDAY. PARIS, AUGUST Is. GRAND HEAD-QUARTERS, CARPIO, AUGUST 11. A report prevails this morning at the bead-quar ters, that they have been fighting in the streets of Cadiz : the merchants of the town wished that the King should be set at complete" liberty, and the small number of Militia who remain in the town wish to oppose it. The most ardent partisans of the revolution have taken refuge in the isle of Leon. It is certain, that since the 3.1 inst. the King is more free: we are on the eve of great events—we shall arrive to•morrow at Cordova. The Duke of Angouleme has set off post, with part of his house hold, and will arrive on the 15th at Puerto Sainte Maria ; and if Cadiz does not surrender on the 20th, the bombardment will commence immediately. A part of the 2d corps, under the orders of Ordonneau, must have arrived under the walls of Cadiz, where the Duke d'Angouleme will find himself at the head of 30,000 men. )lADIItD, AUGUST 13. The Military Household of the King, the Cuiras siers of the Guard, and those of the Line, are to re main here in garrison,. as the cavalry are useless for the siege of a maritime town. It is asserted that the Duke del Infantado will de part for Seville. MATARO, AUGUST i 3. A mutiny took place, the day before yesterday, at Barcelona ; the plan was to overturn Rotten's Go vernment ; hut, unfortunately, the plan was bad, and victory declared itself fur the Revolutionists: A num ber of arrests, and several sanguinary executions, fol lowed the success of Rotten. The Royal French ves sels of the marine took on board a great number of the inhabitants compromised in the affair, who were pursued by the enemy's gun-boats. . A convoy of twenty-tour vessels has entered Ma taro. This convoy brings provisions for the maga zines of the army. Marshal the Duke of Cornegliano still continues at Villafranca. We are told his remaining there is owing to negotiations for the reduction of Tarragona, and the submission of Milans, Lloberas, and the troops under their orders. The defection of General Manso has given a death-blow to the Revolgtionists in Catalonia. Mina still continues ill. It is said he is contriving means to escape by sea, but he fears_our cruizers. BLOCKADE OF ST. SEBASTIAN, AUGUST 10. Yesterday an emissary of General Ballasteros ar rived, bringing orders to the Governor to submit and acknowledge the Regency of Madrid, but owing to the garrison firing at that moment, he could not gain entrance. The same orders have been sent to the Governor of Pampeluna. GERONA, AUGUST 11. The garrison of Fort San Fernando de Figneras attempted a sortie on the 9th ; two columns, of about eight or nine hundred men, came out of the fort, but were obliged to take shelter under the walls, when the forts fired on our troops with all their artillery, which, forttfnately, did us but little injury, although 200 cannon-balls were fired on us. The Constitu tionalists must have lost a great number of men ; our loss was only five men wounded. ANDUJAR, AUGUST 10. Monseigneur the Duc d'Angouleme, on setting out post for Sainte Marie, placed the corps with which he quitted Madrid under the orders of Count d'Ambru geac. The soldiers have been promised double al lowance during their march. They will rejoin the Prince on the morning of the 20th instant. We have seen his Royal Highness, after long marches, bivouac with the soldiers, talk to them, in quire into the wants of each with fatherly attention, and when fatigue compelled him to take some repose on the rocks of the Sierra Morena, he slept among the soldiers, shared his straw with them, disregard ing all care of his august person. General Ballasteros repaired to Cordova to present his respects to the.Pi ince, and conceit with him the deliverance of the King. MADRID, AUGUST 12. The Revolutionary Government at Cadiz resorts to all sorts of means to raise money, and now has no other resource than the property of the inhabitants, who have already been called on to advance money as an extraordinary contribution. On the 6th inst. a Royalist corsair took a Constitu tional bark 4 Cadiz, in which were six very sus picious Individuals. They have been conducted to the prisons of Port St. Marie. One of them is an Aide-du-Camp to Argenti, formerly an Officer of the Guards ; another is Casteldorius ; a third was secretary to the late Political Chief of Vittoria. Papers of the greatest importance were found on these per sons. Every day we capture barks loaded with pro visions, and nothing can enter Cadiz. The Cure Cepero, who figured in the Cortes of 1820, has been arrested at Seville. FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE. SARAGOSSA. JULY 30. On the 20th, at eight o'clock in the morning, many groups, consisting of from thirty to fifty persons, oc cupied the principal parts of this city. About eleven nearly 8000 peasants . entered Saragossa, and made their way to the houses of the most wealthy inhabi tants who were suspected to be Constitutionalists. These, about 1500 in number, they conducted to the Church of the Inquisition, and sent a deputation to the Spanish General, Joachim Fereyra, to demand permission for pillaging their houses. This was pre vented through' the humane remonstrances of the General and the French Officers, who however could not obtain the liberation of the captives. To avoid bloodshed, on which the populace seemed determined, General Fereyra and the French Commander, dis. patched a courier to the Regency, to infoim them of what was passing at Saragossa. The return of this courier is expected with the greatest impatience. The French Colonel left no exertion untried to prevent any evil consequences from the impetuosity of the populace. It must be a great source of pleasure to this officer that, though he did not completely suc. ceed, he at least prevented the effusion of blood at this terrible crisis. It is satisfactory to observe that, since the departure of the courier, no movement has been made by the populace. The last accounts received from Cadiz are of the 6th. The King was then in good health, as were all the Royal Family ; but affairs were not so advanced as we had reason to believe.—At Madrid, all the symbols of public rejoicing were countermanded, the intelligenceof the King's deliverance being premature. FROM THE MONITEUR. PARIS, AUGUST 18. Yesterday, at eleven o'clock, his Majesty gave a private audience to Prince Paul Esterhazy, Austrian Ambassador to the Court of London. Count Lardenoy afterwards bad the honour to take the oath as Governor of the Thuilleries. After Mass the King received the Ministers, Prince Talleyrand, the Chancellor, the Peers of France, the Deputies, the Military of all ranks, and the Ambas sadors of Spain and Naples. eis Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland dined with his Majesty. This evening he will go to the Champ de Mars with Monsieur, to witness a fete given by the proprietors of the Garden of Tivoli. To.morrbw his Majesty will review the Household Troops and the Royal Guard in the ChaMp de Mars. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland will be present. This morning we received intelligence from Bay onne to the 13th instant. It is stated, as one of the on dits of that place, that the army of BAL LASTZROS did not share in his defection ; and that, like the other Generals who abandoned the cause of the Constitutionalists, he has only been able to carry with him a few officers. The following are extracts: BAYONNE, AUGUST 12. The letters from Madrid just delivered do not come down later than the 7th, inclusive, and conse quently give only very scanty particulars of the de fection of aillasteros. The advocates of the .Rofalist party here consider this event as decisive of the issue of the war in Spain, because all our troops in Andalusia will now be able to be directed entirely against Cadiz, which they affirm cannot hold out Imp, The Liberals, however, pretend that, according t o letters from Madrid of the 9th, the army of Ball 's terns did not join in his defection, but only some offs. cers and a few others: they comfort themselve , , too, by asserting that Ballasteros has long been suspected, especially since the affair of Valencia ; and that Zayas, who was returning from Cadiz, hadorders front the Minister of War to deprive him of his command, and to have him arrested ; and that the knowledge of this hastened the step he has taken : they add, that the command will .now be divided between Zayas and Riego, from whom they hope better things far their cause. The addresses sent to the It s egency suit continue to desire the re-establishment of the Inqui sition and the Jesuits. The formation of the National Guard, decreed by the Regency, does not go no very well. The Regency, we learn from some of the Roy aliq journals, has decided, that henceforth none shall Le arrested for political opinions but such as have made part of particular Juntas, or of secret societies, the po litical chiefs, and those who have caused Cadiz to t is!. Letters from Cadiz say, that General Valdez has armed, in the pen, three frigates and two large yea sels, which-, with the gun-boats already equipped, baffle in some degree the efforts of the French block ading squadron, by facilitating :he entrance of ves sels with provisions. There is a report in the town this morning, that an extraordinary courier has an ived, with inform:4l4.n that the King and the Cortes had agreed upon cer tain modifications to be trade in the Constitulion ; and that, in consequence of this agreement, the Re. 'gency was dissolved ; this news, however, seems doubtful. We have also news of the departure ct Quiroga for England, on board a steatn-packet ; and of the Governor of Corunna for Vigo; it is added, that his successor is a moderate man, who w ill soon give up the place. We do not know what to' think of this news, which was not expected here. There is a report, that the Empecinado has sl7ewn himself on the banks of the Ebro, and that a Regi ment has been sent against him. Ammunition, cannon, Ste. continue to be sent for the siege of Pampeluna; we expect every moment the sappers and miners; but before the siege can be commenced in form and with proper effect, tl:ere must be some more troops, the force now before that place not being sufficiently Itrong to carry on the works, and prevent the numerous garrison from mak ing sallies. The day before yesterday we heard the report of cannon in the direction of St. Sebastian. It is said to have been to answer the order given by Ballasteros to surrender the place. FRENCH BOURSE." It is now generally under stood," says a letter from Paris, " that there will shortly appear a Royal Ordonnance respecting the traffic in Rentes, according to which sales and pur chases for time will be legally recognised, but tha, no 1 judgment shall be had upon arrests in cases of non ' payment. The brokers (algal's de change) will be declared competent to cover themselves by collateral security for the risk of the transaction. The number of brokers to be limited to sixty—none to be admis sible who have not been ten years on the Exchange." Advices have been received in town,announcing that supplies of provisions had been received at St. Se. bastian's, by which means the garrison is supplied till the end of October, that is to say, till the w inter is I over, for it is impossible for the French to blockade that part of the coast in the approaching season. The Moniteur of Monday contains the law of the Ist of July last, promulgated at Berlin, for the or ganization of Provincial Assemblies for the Pro vinces of Brandenburgh and Lower Lusatia. The whole Prussian Monarchy is to be divided into pro vinces, each of which is to have its distinct Represeti tative ; but these little Parliaments or separate Cor porations, are to have no intercourse with each other. Letters received by the regular Mail from Paris, dated on Saturday evening, state that Corunna, on the 10th inst. remained in the possession of the Con stitutionalists, and that there was no immediate pro spect of its surrendering. A Gentleman from Cuba states, that from the con tinuance of extreme dry weather for many months at that island, so immense a number of cattle and horse kind have fallen a sacrifice to it, that the loss in value is estimated at a million of dollars. The Berlin papers boast of a reform which is work ing in the mode of travelling in Germany. It is stated that the Postma.ters are discarding the old sluggish movement with which they have so long been reproached, and endeavouring to emulate the expedition of English mail-coaches. The spirit of im provement is said to have extended itself to Bohemia. A diligence is established between Prague and Vienua, which goes 42 German post miles in 39 hours. The Government of Denmark has passed a law, by which all individuals furnishing supplies for the Island of St. Croix, and the other Danish possessions in the West Indies, are to be considered as privileged creditors, having a prior claim to payment from the produce of estates in the current year—and no pro- Ferry can be appropriated to any other purpose untfl such claims be first duly satisfied. General ROTTEN, who commands in Barcelona, is a Swiss. The Baron de CAHDONDELET, who is at the head of a strong Constitutional guerilla, operating chiefly. in the mountains between Arragon and New Castile, is a Belgian. Advice' from Gibraltar to the 27th ult. announce the arrival, on the preceding day, of the British Mi nister, Sir W. A'CouaT, his Lady, and suite, fro:n San Lucar, on board his Majesty's ship TIMONE. An attempt is about to be made in Holland to natu ralize certain Japanese plants, which the Dutch trade with Japan affords facilitie s for procuring in a pro per state for cultivation. Though the latitude of Japan is far more southerly than the Netherlands, yet the northern parts of that country are very moun tainous and cold, and it is expected that the plants which grow there will be capable of enduring the Dutch climate: it is with aim, therefore, the me. .riment is to be made. . •
