We have received the French Papers of Wednes day, by the regular Mail, and, by an extraordinary conveyance, the Pilote of Thursday evening has also come to hand. The Duke - of WELLINGTON, in the dress of an Austrian Field Marshal, attended a re view of the troops of the gall ison of Vienna, previous to his setting out for Verona. The King of PRUSSIA has appointed his eldest son, with full powers, to govern during his absence from his dominions, which, it is said, will be for some months. _ _ The Spanish insurrection seems now to be fast hastening to its close. The Journal de Toulouse says, the Royalists of Catalonia are in a cruel position.— MINA was advancing on Urgel, while ZARCO DEL VALLE was matching on the Conque de Tremp, and bilLaws on Olot, and a speedy hauls, decisive of the fate of the Defenders of the Faith, %Ls inevitable. An account is given of a remarkable correspond ence between the Baron d'tnou.is and Don Ramon GAYAN, Governor of Cardona. The Baron, by way of inducing him to surrender the fortress, and to ac cept his terms, informs him, that in the course of the month, seventy five thousand French would enter Spain at three different points. The answer of Don Ramon v►as such as became a good citizen and brave soldier. He tells him, " that if European fanaticism and ty ranny should form a conspiracy against them, they would be able to withstand it arthey did in the war of independence ;" and he reproaches him with dis gracing himself by joining men who make religion a cover for the perpetration of crime, and of whom the most have suffered punishment for their misdeeds both before and since the Revolution. The account of the brilliant victory gained by General Esernosa over the Army of the Faith, which 'we announced in the STAR of yesterday, is confirmed. A letter from Bayonne, in the Journal de Paris, says it was a very sanguinary contest. The Insurgents, commanded by ARADONDO, amounted to 1,500 or I,rloo men, while General ESPINOSA, who com manded the Constitutional forces, had only five or 600. The latter kept the Army of the Faith in check until they were reinforced, when they entirely routed the Insurgents, and took 200 prisoners. CUARLES O'DONNELL is appointed General-in- Chief of the Insurgents in the north of Spain. The French still continue to pour into Bayonne the muni tions of war. Forty-five thousand muskets had been sent, and preparations were making for a camp in the neighbourhood. This cannot be for self-defence, as Spain would not think of attacking France; but it is no doubt to give countenance, if not direct 'assist ance, to the rebels in Spain. The evidence of a design to invade Spain, to co operate with the Spanish insurgents, is but too clear ; and, if Lord LONDONDERRY had lived, the attempt would no doubt have been made. The immense pre parations, however, have been thrown away ; the Defenders of the Faith must now be left to their fate; • and bitter reproaches they will no doubt vent against the French Government and the Holy Allies, who have deserted them. The Journal de Toulouse gives the following nests from Spain :—" The Royalists of Catalonia are in a cruel situation. The Rei,-acy has established a line of defence from Seu to Puycerda. A part of the "coops scattered through the province is marching on, this point. The army of Mina is advancing towards plain of Urgel, while ZARCO DEL VALLE is ap proaching from the side of the Conque de Tremp, MILAN& is marching on Olot.

Oovanua was near .. on the 7th September, from whence he watched the bridge of Alamon and Thermopylz. All the news speaks of the success of the Greeks. The Pacha of BELGRADE had secured a Tartar from Constantinople, and since that`time the Turks themselves no longer doubt of the unfortunate issue of their expedition into the Morea. A report is at this moment in circulation that a very bloody naval battle has taken place near Cape Papas, and that the Turks have been entirely defeated. Throne, and taking from the these Gentlemen the book of the Holy Evangelists, he opened and presented it to his Majesty to take the oath, which 'was written on separate .paper. The King immediately took it, saying, " I desire to pro nounce it aloud, that all may hear me," and laying his hand on the Holy Gospels, he proceeded : "" I accept, and swear to observe and cause to be observed, the. Political Constitution of the Portuguese Monarchy, which has just been decreed by the Con stituent Cortes of the same nation," and he then' added, " and with the greatest pleasure and with all my heart ;" and delivering to the President a written copy of his Speech ► the latter and the Secretaries re turned to their places. This forenoon we received a Lisbon Mail, bringing a file of Papers from the 30th of September to the .sth instant. They contain ample details of the pro ceedings, which are of considerable importance. On the Ist instant the Km° proceeded to the Hall of the Cones and publicly took the oaths to maintain the Constitution. His MAJESTY addressei the Cortes in a very patriotic speech, and when the book was pre. sented to him to take the oath, the Kttro said, “ I de sire to pronounce it aloud, that all may hear me."— The following are the particulars of this interesting ceremony The whole Hall resounded with the most enthnti astic transports of joy of all present, and mingled cries of--0 The Constitution for ever I"— ,, Long live the best of Kings, the Father of the Country r His Majesty then signed the oath which was an acted to the two originals of the Constitution, in the `following form :—"" Jona VI. Come. Guards." The august ceremony being concluded, the Presi dent addressed his Majesty in a long speech, expres sive of the profound attachment of the Coates and Ite nation to his person and family, and congratu lating the King and the nation on the happy accom plishment of the great wink. His Majesty, descending from the Throne, ex claimed with the most sincere enthusiasm—u The Sovereign Congress for ever r —which was re-echoed by the galleries and the whole of the august assembl y. In the Sitting of the Cortes of the 2d instant, Se nor PERCRRA Do CARMO presented two motions—one for declaring Lisbon a free port, the other for erect ing an Asiatic and an African Company. Both were referred to the Committee on Commerce. On the Ist October there were great rejoicings in the city on account of the completion of the Consti tution, and his Majesty was received at the theatre in the evening with the greatest,enthusiasm. The Manifesto and Proclamation of the Prince Regent to the Bratilians was communicated to the Cones, as well as three letters from his Royal High ness, but no proceedings were taken on them. In the Sitting of the SOth of September, the Mein hers took the oath to the Constitution, and afterwards signed it. The PRESIDENT first rose, and then all the other Members rising from their seats, the PRZSIMINT laid his right hand on the Holy Gospels, and said in a loud voice- 1, I swear to preserve the Political Constitution of the Portuguese Monarchy, which has just been de creed by the Constituent Cones of the same Nation." The Deputies then followed, in the order in which their names were called by the Secretary, SOARES DE ALTEDA, and each laying his right hand on the same book, he said aloud, " So I swear." They afterwards proceeded to sign the oath. The PRESIDENT then proposed some regulations fur-the ceremony of the following day, whith were approved. On the motion of M. FERNANDEZ THOMAS, it was resolved that his Majesty should sign in the follow ing form John VI. King, cone. Gatarda." These Papers contain intelligence of a recent date from the Brazils. A revolutionary movement is 'stated to have taken place in the Province of Alagcits, in consequence of which the European Officers were dismissed and put on board a ship and sent to Portu gal, where they had arrived. A French ship had arrived at Lisbon, in 30 days from Pernambuco, bringing the Governor of that city and many passengers. He states that the troops sent by the Prince Royal to Bahia, being opposed, they went to Pernambuco, where they were well re ceived. The inhabitants declared their independence, and sent the Governor away. At Bahia a detach ment of 600 men from Portugal had been well re ceived. The Brazilian Deputies who declined to sign the Constitution, are expected to go away by the Marlborough packet to-morrow. The brig United Kingdom, from Rio, bad joined the Portuguese party at Bahia, His MAJESTY, yesterday forenoon, attended by the Marquis of CONYNGHAM and Doctor KNIGHTON, took an airing in his low chaise, and visited the Princess AUGUSTA, at Frogmore, and returned to the Cottage to dinner..

EXTRACT OP A PRIVATE LETTER FROM PARIS, DATED OCTOBER 16. " All that I now have to inform you of relates to a country man of your own. M. DE PKYRONNET, who has acted during some time past for the Minister of the Interior, has given orders to Sir ROBERT WlLsor to leave the French capital in twenty-four hours, and the French territory as quickly as he can travel. Sir r ROBERT was yesterday called to the Police-ollice and informed of this order. He of course could not re sist, and did not argue. He only begged that he might be allowed to remain in Paris till Narsday morning, instead of lVednesday night, as Lady WIL SON was in such a poor state of health, that travelling by night might seriously injure her. The D:rector of the Police could not comply with the tequcsr, nnr in fact grant any indulgence ; but offered to state the matter to M. DE PEYRONNET, and to send Sir Ito- BERT his answer. Sir ROBERT imineoktety pro ceeded to Sir CHARLES STUART, and requested him to ask the French Government the cause of such as extraordinary measure. He assured the Ambassadet, 1 upon his honour, that he neither had said nor done anything while in Paris, to warn= what he must I call such an insult. As the enemies of the gallant General may en deavour to connect this order to depart from France with the arrest of Mr. HOWKIWG, and the seizure of his papers, the writer .of this letter is requested to state, that Sir ROBERT had not given to Mr. Bow- RING any letter, paper, note, or document whatever— that whatever may be the cause of Mr. llownitzo's arrest, Sir Rosen? cannot be implicated in it—that his objects in coming to Paris had nothing connected with French politics—and while here, he neither said nor did anything that could give reasonable cause of offence to the French Government, far less warrant such a proceeding as has been adopted against him.", . • - . . .. . . • toirards I I- espii.e..

MINOR TRIGOON PRESIDICNT. At ten minutes past eleven a salute of Artillery announced that his Majesty was approaching the Palace of the Cortes, and at a quarter before twelve the President stated that his Majesty had arrived, and proposed that the Deputation should go to the bot tom of the staircase to receive bim, which was done. At twenty minutes past twelve his Majesty entered the Hall, preceded by the Chief Officers of his House hold, the Nobility, the Corps Diplomatique, the Council of State, the Secretaries of State, the Corps of the Patriarchate, General Officers, and a very nu merous suite, his Majesty being surrounded by the Deputies whom the Cortes had named to receive him. The Infant Don Miguel was conducted, with the ce remony due to his rank, to the gallery reserved for I the Royal Family and the other distinguished per sons, to the seats prepared For them. Meantime the sovereign Congress was standing, and his Majesty ascended the throne accompanied by the Deputation, shewing to them and to the whole assembly the most evident signs of the great delight which overflowed his Royal heart. His Majesty having taken his seat in the magni ficent chair placed on the throne, the President and Deputies also sat down, and his Majesty read the following Speech: Gentlemen, I have examined with attention the Political Constitution of the Monarchy, which, in the names of all the inhabitants of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and Algarve, was offered me by its legitimate Representatives, united in these Gene ral, Extraordinary, and Constituent Cortes of the Portuguese Nation : and I have considered with scru pulous attention the conditions of this new social com pact—Placed by PROVIDENCE at the head of a vali ant and magnanimous nation, and convinced that the general will is the fountain and the medium of all political power, it is my duty to identify my will with the general wish, as I was always sensible that my own happiness is essentially connected with the prosperity of the Portuguese people. " Faithful to my principles, I flatter myself with having offered to the nation, even in the most diffi cult circumstances, decisive proofs of the love I bear it, and of the uprightness which becomes my own dignity. The Portuguese acknowledge it, and this is the recompence the most worthy of my labours, as well as the sole object of my ambition. 66 The new social cotnpact being therefore the ex pression of the general will, and the fruit of your wise meditations, conformable to this enlightened age, and founded on a reciprocity of interests and sentiments, which make my cause inseparable from the cause of the nation, I come to-day, in the midst of National Representation, to accept the Constitu tion which you have just made, and to confirm, by the most solemn oath, the inviolable promise to keep it, and'cause it to be kept. " Yes, Representatives of the heroic Portuguese nation, your magnificent work, the fruit of so many enlightened and patriotic labours, will be respected and maintained. I swear it by the probity and firm ness which you knoiv me to possess. This sacred pro mise, as spontaneous as the resolution which brought me from the New World to the cradle of the Mo narchy, to co-operate in this your glorious enterprize , cannot have a surer guarantee than this same firm ness, with which I have maintained the bases to which I swore, and which appears in all the acts which cha -1 racterize my promises as sincere, and my intentions as pure. 4 , I congratulate myself on both meriting the con ; fidence and love of the Nation, and on the arrival of this happy day, twice celebrated in the annals of the history of Portugal. It will shew to posterity the perhaps unparalleled example of a Nation regenerated without disturbing the public tranquillity, and that the first Constitutional King of the Portuguese, know-, ing how to make himself worthy of.the confidence of Ithe People, knew also how sweet it is to reign over their hearts. Such, Gentlemen, is the glory to which MR. BOWRING. The family of Mr. Bowing° has, we understand, ascertained at the Foreign Office, that it is intended to proceed against him merely for the penalty at tached to carrying letters without authority from the Government. lu answer to the inquiries which have been made at the French Chargé des Affiiires in Lon don, respecting his (Mr. B°watt:to's) arre,t, it has been stated that no authorised intelligence could be given on the subject. ♦n intimation, however, is conveyed, that the French Government had acted on information charging Mr. Bowling° with some sort of indefinite and inexplicable participation in the pro ject for liberating the unfortunate but heroic indivi duals who lately perished in Paris, from the don , geons of the Bicetre. During the middle of last week, Gravesend WaS visited by myriads of flies, somewhat like, but much smaller than the common house fly. These insects were, however, destroyed by flights of swallows com mencing their aerial passage. • • DRURY-LANE THRATRE.—SIIIRiDAN S ini m itable Comedy, the School for Scandal, was last night le peated. Of all the modern productions of the Stage there is not one that has so enriched our language at this Comedy ; and although its pointed phrases and chaste humour, well concerted plot and staking inci dents, are perfectly familiar to the ?OF; 'itt representation comes with all the freshness of novelty. The Play is now very strongly cast. Dowrox's Sir Oliver has long been a standard performance, but v have seen him play it hater than last night. Tartav's Sir Peter is excellent, though he somewhat overacts the part. Mrs. WEST'S Lady Teazle is a very im proved and improving performance ; and those who have only seen her in trageiy wi,l be surprised to find how well she succeeds in genteel comedy. The House was crowded. CovENT-GARDEN.—The Management of this Esta blishment are sheaving a laudable anxiety to entitle themselies to public support. Scarcely a night passes without tilt production of some novelty. Last night was revived OlCitres lively, bustling, and amusing play of FoxiainGleau, strongly cast, and interspersed with additional songs and music. The afterpiece of The Blind Boy followed. We regret to say, the House was but thinly attended. t • - , ^77JF:
