~..,. ••*1644 1 E PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE " MADRID., SEPTEMBER 1. "It was strongly reported that Ballasteros had recom menced hostilities, the armistice being ended, and had placed the French in a critical situation ; but it tutus out to be no more that a party of officers, • who were:, '.Commtineros; who had made off to join Kier, who is in Malaga with three or *MX) men. , 4abaLhact km . nominated to supersede tlfi Marquis Cratidilirilislirthi. command of Badajoz, who has under his orders the . whole of Estrarnadora, including the garrison of Baths• joz, about 7,000 men. Complaints are continually ar riving to Government, of the depredations and auda city of these troops, who live at discretion, the province being flee of the French, and the Royalists either not being in sufficient numbers, or not over-fond of coming to blows, which is pretty general among both partics. When the Fi ench put themselves in the van, then away scamper the others to a new position. " The towns and country are not fayonrable to the .Constitutionalists, hut they cannot resist them, and must furnish whatever is demanded without the least pro, spect of repayment. E•iremadura in conseApience pre-. sents a scene of desolation, and the Constitutionalists are obliged to advance on all sides, at all hazards, for provisions, which accounts for their apparent boldness. " The release of the prisoners here Ins opinions is not so rapid and extensive as the first few days led u s to, expect. All who confess the mselves to be Masons or Communeros, are detained, so that all who tell truth, are infinitely worse off than those who per jute themselves. 1' A letter from Gibraltar of the 25th August, which I have justseen, states that Batton, the Governor of Bar celona; had• arrived at Ceuta, in company with Mr. Tharndike, an American merchant. That a letter re c ived from Barrell, American Consul at Malaga, dated '23d August, mentions the arrival of Riego there, who had immediately arrested 7ttyas, Abadia, and silty' other Qfficers, and banished them to Majorca, problidy they intended to capitulate on the samz terms as Ballas teros. That Sir Robert Wilson had arrived at Gibraltar, and Lord Nugent had left three days previous for Cadiz, but they had not heard of his arrival.

GnEKS, • The Greek Committee have published a Report, from - the pen of Mr. BLAputewn, with a view of ()cawing at tention to the affairs of Greece, and to the glorious struggle which she has so long maintained. With re gard to the Address itself, we must say that it is much too voluminous, and, at• the same time, much too vague; fatiguing to read, and destitute of exact or intereiting information. Mr. LILA uutexx seeks to recommend the cause by general reflections, of which all men are ca pable ; whereas a few authentic and striking facts il lustrative of what the Greeks have actually done—of what they have suffered—of their present position, and of their resources for hereafter—would do more to en gage the public mind, than whole volumes of indigna tion, or pity, or regret for their misfortunes. We need not be told that the Greeks are Christians fighting . for libel ty, or that the Turks are infidel barbarians, grind ing down our brethren of the faith of Cuatsr with cruel and contemp t uous tyranny. We know all this ; and we give Mr. I3 L AQUIERE credit for the impression which such affecting truths have made upon him ; but we ex pected from him, instead or that lore of sentiment which he set out with from England on his voyage to Greece, some portion at.least of the local and distinct intelligence respecting her, which it was the understood purpose of his mission to acquire. Mr. BLAQUME sailed early in March for Marseilles, in company with Suntorns, a distinguished Greek patriot, who bad come to I l ondon to inform himself concerning the dis positions of the people of ligland towards his country men. Mr. DLAQVIEReB object was to ascertain for the Greek Committee, and through them for the Public, the precise condition of the Greeks and of their con testart object in which we can scarcely say he ha:suc ceeded. What we can co l l ect from the Report now be. fore us is, Ist, That the Greek insurrection was pro voked by the Turks, and was very far from being con certed with the Neapolitans or Piedmontese--with the Sp an iards, the Pprtuguesp, or the Irish. 2d, That the cruelties of the Greek soldiers towarfis their tyrants, be.; sides being provoked, wet e maliciously exaggerated and that although the Turkish spirit of atrocity still continued in its utmost violence, the Greeks bad lately adopted a more temperate treatment of their captives. 3d, That the Greeks are alive to the benefits of know ledge and civilization, and ace anxious to edu c ate their youth. Now, we believe all the aforementioned state. silents to be well-founded, and we object to thetam only b ecaus e they are not quite new, while 'prnt themselves to the Public as the result of a voyage un- 1 dertaken in pursuit of what was to be satisfactory, re/Mout being notorious. Our disappointment in this respect is proportioned to our ardent sympathy with the Greeks, and to our unfeigned anxiety for their liberation. We are slue that materials might have been extracted from a visit to the scetie of that heroic struggle, bi which the feelings as well as the judgment of ',Rnglish men would be deeply and powerfpllt affected?

This morning we had an arrival from Bayo;ne, with intelligence from Madrid to the 4th inst. The cap ture of the Trocadero was known in that capital, where it gave new spirit to the Jegency. This letter states as 'a report, that the l!nepcy had held a Secret Council, as a Chamber of Justice, and condemned forty deputies of the Cortes tp capital punishment, and fifty others to' perpetua l banishment. Among those condemned to death, are the names of Gatiatio, Rot.teao, ALrUENTE, the two ARGUELLES, and ISLARITI. It is said that the Ccrtes have given full liberty to any of its members to leave CaJiz, and that only two hay; availed dmaselves of the offer,and that on account of severe indisposition. A plot ii . said to have been discovered at Palma, in Mho jores to effect a counter-revolutitsH, and to deliver up port Mahon, in Minorca, to the French squadron.

At the de parture of the courier, the cannon was firing both at Cudiz and the Isle of Leon. 66 This new victory gives increased spirit to the Re gency, which, depending on the support of the Russian Cabinet, will not hear of any compromise with the Cortes; , all, or nothing,'• is the motto of its partisans. I On the other hand ,. it k not eas y to ima g ine that the Cortes can be inclined to treat,: if it in true, as reported' here, that the Regency, in a secret Council, sitting - as a Chamber of Justice . , has Coodenmed forty Deputies to capital punishment, and fifty others to perpetual banish , ment to the Philippine Islands. Among the first are the two Arguelles, Romero, Alpuente, lslarita, G:lllianot, . f e. This being the case, we may believe that the pe-, pules are resolved, as they are said to be, to support a bombarciment4 and to be buried, with the Royal Family, in the rqins of the place, as such a fall would be more honourable *an an infamous death or terrible exile. But how distressing would be the situation of our Prince, in case such a calamitous event should take place. , •.,. The partisans of the Regency, however, in their Meetings affect to regard the Puke as of little weight. 6 We have too many means:- say they, tto subdue the Revolutionists l' alluding to . the offers of foreign aid, whence we may infer that the cause of the Consti .tssOqn is desperate ; but shall we attn the Pasi4cation 1 which is ardently desired ? It seems that the 'Cortes have given full liberty, to such D e p uties as may desire • it, to withdraw from the Congress,. and that only two have accepted it, who, on account of severe illness, have asked passports for Gibraltar. .. 4 plot has been discoyered at ?alma, the object of which was to deliver the Balearic Islands from the revo lutionary yoke, and to deliver Port Mahon to the french stinadrou in theXediterraneais. A Russian Officer has been arrested there, who gives himself out for a German, travelling for a mercantile house in the North. Tran quillity begins to be established at Madrid ; except the Inquisition, everything is returning to its former footing. The police is still very actively engaged ; the French are ip general liked; the organization of the Spa nish troops goes on slowly, whiCh seems to confirm what has been often repeated, that the mass of the nation does not take any interest in %he contest, and even to speak frankly, it does not like the Constitutionalists, either throUgh the influence of the clergy, who begin to re sume their place, or because their own troops have not been able to avoid being a burden, while the French coqtinue to pay for everything with the most scrupulous punctuality. Thus Chaleco, Eguaguiera, and the par iisaqs, being unable to support themselves, have sub mitted. We have also the news of the capitulation of Palarea; Vigo, and Rosello ; nothing must surprise us. Those provinces, the inhabitants of which are not natu rally warlike, like those of Catalonia, have not taken a step in favour of the Constitu tion, or to re p el the !nye , clers,. who have not disturbed the ir tranquillity ; this was one el the causes that hindered Baliasteros, whose troops are lupe same positions, and paid by the French. . : aims the 25th to the 30th there were some warm dkulier between that General and Molitor, so that repulse was apprehended, but till. now they ;loth reipin here they were; all this seems very strange.
