" MONSIEUR LR MARSHAL, 44 I have the honour to announce to your Excellency that I this moment learn, by an Officer arrived from the Grand Head-quarters, that Riego, after being beaten and routed by our troops, has been made prisoner, with three of his Officers, by some peasants of a village three leagues from Carolina. " Accept, &c. (Signed) " Marshal Duc de REGGIO. 44 P.S. The War Minister of the Regency has made a communication to the same effect." In another part of our Paper will be found some interesting particulars connected with the capture of this important personage. We regret to observe the time of blood-thirsty exultation in which the event is spoken of by the Spanish Royalists. RIEGO is not, however, their prisoner, but the Duke of ANGouimstes. Letters and papers have been received to-day from Madrid, to the 17th inst. _The following are extracts : PROM THE MADRID GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. PUERTO DE SANTA MARIA, SEPTEMBER 13. The Duke of Angouleme passed last night at Chic lana, and returned here to-day at noon. The military preparations, which are immense, are forwarded with extraordinary expedition;and some great event may be every hour expected. It is said for certain, that Alava has been appointed Military Governor of Cadiz, instead of Don Cayetano Valdes. Qniroga, who is also in Cadiz, has no reputation. It is said that an exorbitant contribution has been imposed on the merchants, and that all the male popula tion, fron 16 to 60, have been ordered to be in arms. MADRID, SEPTEMBER 17. The Government bas received information that the health of their Majesties and the rest of the Royal Fa mily continued unchanged on the 11th and 12th current. Yesterday at half past 12, his Excellency the Marquis deTalaru, Ambassador from his Most Christian Majesty, left this capital for Puerto de Santa Maria. EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER. a MADRID, SEPTEMBER 12. tg The French are planting batteries on the coast of the arm of the sea of Santi Petri, which they occupy, from Chiclana to the southern embouchure of the canal. From attending to the chart one is puzzled to find a reason for this operation. The fire from these batteries .can do no harm to the Isle of Leon, at the same time they may he much injured by the gun-boats, of which the Constitutionalists in Cadiz have a great number.— It is sai►l that the attack on Cadiz is to be made on four different points at the same time, without including the .Caracca. An army of 30,000 men would be necessary for this. Even at pre , ,ent it is probable that the blockade by sea no longer exists, in conseqnence of the Equinoctial gales, which arc coming on, And are always very ♦io ;tent in those seas. " The Official Report of the late triumphs of the Constitutional armies in Catalonia has been circulated here with snch profusion, that it must have been ef fected by a powerful, though unknown hand. It was read among several groupes at the Puerta del Sol, which occasioned some trifling disturbance, and it was found necessary to disperse the crowds by the armed force. " The French division which occupies Valencia, is to march through the various parts of the province, in or der to attack the numerous bands of Constitutionalists -xhich it contains. " L'lman was nearly assassinated at Otihuela. It ap pears that a vast plan was laid, having numerous rami fications, and Ulinan was not the only person who was to be pot to death. It was, however, discovered and frtistrated. Emissaries are sent from Calthagena into the neighbourhood, and resistance is constantly excited, and assassinations from private revenge are constantly taking place." EXTRACT OF ANOTHER LETTER, DATED SEPT. IS. '• The passing backwards and forwards of Admiral Alava, fporn Cadiz to Port St. Maly, had induced the friends at tranquillity to hope that an arrangement was about to take place; but it appears from letters written by persons whose confidential employment near the Duke d'Angouleme enable them to speak with certitude that the great and insurmountable obstacle to the con clusion of , any ajangemept is, the choice of a guarantee for the execution erf the treaties. The parties not being at all likely to concur in the same choice, recourse, is feared, must be had to the last extremities of arms. Other letters from the same quarter state that the French have, by means of gold and active agents, suc ceeded in gaining a party in Cadiz and the isle of Leon, who will shew Viernselves when the proper occasion offers. This has caused no little alarm to the Constitu tionalists shut up in both these towns, and though they keep a watchful eye upon those suspected, yet they dread that in the moment of attack a diversion in favour of die French, by this' party, may produce the most fatal consequences. This attack, add the same letters, must take place immediately, as the preparations for it are pushed on with the greatest activity. The reports relative to General Quesada are very contradictory. Some pretend that he has gained some trifling advan tages over the Constitutional troops, whom he had been sent to attack by the Regency ; others, and these are the greater number, say that he has been vigorously repulsed, and that the Constitutionalists of Estremadura have a much more imposing force than was at first supposed, and that the country offers them abundant resources.— However, it is assured that they will be forced to eva cuate the province, as soon as the troops meant to march against them shall have combined their efforts. There are various rumours as to Ballasteros and his troops, but they are so totally contradictory, that we must wait a few days before attempting to give credit to either version. The fanatics of this city, who, as you may well suppose, are pretty numerous, are transported with joy at the rupture of the negociations before Cadiz.-- This joy they refrain not from expressing in words as well as looks; whilst the friends of order and public tranquillity are obliged in silence and secresy to offer up their vows for that moment so desired, but which will come too late, when Spaniards, taught by a cruel experience, shall make at the shrine of their country the sacrifice of their quarrels, divisions, and animosities." We have received to-day the following advice, frqm Bayonne : BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER We have just received news from Madrid of the 12th, at which time, it seems, it was pretty generally believed that some arrangement would be made, because hosti lities were suspended on almost the whole line before Cadiz ; and because the French Ambassador was sent for to Port St. Mary's. It is still reported that England will act as mediator in this affair : meantime the Constitutionalists appear satisfied, and the conduct of the Manolos (populace of Madrid), if they persevere in it, seems to justify the hopes of an agreement between the two parties. An Extraordinary Gazette, of the 12th, contains a Report from the Spanish Royalist General, Don Caro, of the 6th, which states, in substance, that, in conse quence of orders from General Molitor, the allied troops occupy a line from Mijg to Carlama, to hinder the Constitutionalists from taking the road to Ronda ; in' fact, the latter retreated upon Velez-Malaga, leaving in Malaga only three or four hundred men, under the command of Brigadier Don Ruiz Porras, who capitu lated on the 4th, in the following manner : Art. 1. The garrison of Malaga are prisoners of war, the Officers only retaining their arms till further orders. L All the ships of war and others laden with money or effects of any description whatever, are included in the capitulation, as are 5. All the redoubts of the place, as well as the arms and ammu. nitiun of all kinds. 4. The Spanish Militia actually in Malaga are included in the capitulation. Malaga, September 4th, 1823. (Signed) Count of ST. CH A MONS, Don RUIZ de PORRAS. Approved by Generals LOVERDO and CARO. Beneath it is added, that this capitulation shall be communicated to the military of all classes, that they may immediately present themselves to the Command ant of the place appointed by the French General, as well as to Major Don Lonada, who remains in the gar rison, without, however, being at liberty to leave the place. A convoy of 18 sail, which was on the point of quitting the port, was stopped and taken. We learn that the town called Torre Molioos is also taken. The reason of the sudden departure of the troops from Madrid which we mentioned before, is now said to be, that the troops of the Faith in Estremadura had met with a re pulse in an action with Lopez Banos. The Gardes du Corps it is said, will immediately march for Port St. Mary. It was yesterday annotfficed here, that the town and citadel of Ciudad Rodrigo had surrendered : as we have not yet heard that that place was seriously attacked, we qppthend there must be some mistake in this account, though it was given as official by the Directef of gie Army Post. Sdntona, we find, has capitulated conditionally; that is, .the French troops 4re to be received into it on the 27th, if it does not previously receive a supply of pro visions and atumdnition. The schooner la Artisienne, which sailed from this , port about three weeks ago, has just returned from ggr runna. She has brought some prisoners, wlio wese im mediately conveyed to the new fort: among them is said to be a Colonel implicated in the conspiracy of Berton, and the Chief of 4441i0n, mma, whn, we are told, has been naturalized Spain. There is also the wife of one of those prisoners, who accompanied • him in male attire. The malady at Passages is said to be very serious. The day before yesterday several persons died, who were in perfect health the day before. Several soldiers of the 19th Regiment, which forms the first ,cordon, have I fallen sick within these few days. Happily the secon.l cordon, formed by the 52d, will hinder any communi cation between those troops and the rest of thr army. It is reported that the Commander of the 52d is ill, but lit is supposed to be from over-exertion. We learn that M. AnJoir, who is happily chief Physician to the sth Corps, has been on the spot by order of the Marshal. 4 young physician from our hospital has also been sent thither. The garrison duty of this place is certainly going to be performed by the National Guard, The Mayor yesterday called the Officers together for that purpose. Some inhabitants of Santander have sent petitions to the Regency and to the Duke of 4ngouleme, statin g that they had been violently deprived of national pro perty, formerly belonging to the Monastery of Monte Corban, which they have purchased at public auction, under the sanction of the Constitutional Government.— The Governor has reinstated the Prelate in the posses sion of the estates, without any notice to the petitioners, or due intimation of the of der which he said he had re ceived from the Regency. The Petitioners rept esent, that having purchased these by virtue of decrees sanctioned by all the forms of the Constitution, to which the King had repeatedly and voluntarily sworn, which all the Sovireigns of Europe had recogni;ed, and which all subjects were obliged to obey, under pain of death, having paid for them in the lawful currency of the kingdom, not that issued by the new Government, but before the introduction of the Constitution (to the amount of 1,796,202 reals), they possessed them by a lawful title, attd therefore ought not to have been ejected without being heard in their clefence, and their claims legally decided against. This arbitrary mode of proceeding used towards them (even if the Constitution and everything done in consequence of it is declared null) being decided illegal, according to the best laws on the subject that have been in force for five centuries, they therefore petition the Regency and the Duke to be reinstated, and left in undisturbed possession, "till a wise and general law on the subject of national property shall decide their fate, and conci liate the various interests that have to be considered.— These petitions are 51atrcl, August 10, 1821. We have received advices from Gibraltar to the sth inst. On the evening ofshe 2d, a considerable number of small craft left the bay, with supplies for Cadiz. Sir R. WILSON, with Generals QUIROGA and ZAYAS, and sevet al other officers of the Constitutional party, went as passengers. The Tanturtz frigate had sailed for Ma laga, to inquire into the circumstances under which the English merchants resident there had been thrown into prison by Ritmo, for non-payment of their assigned quota of contribution to the forced loan. The American Commodore, who was solicited to sail for Malaga pn a similar errand in behalf of the American merchants and Consul at that place, refused, on the plea that he had no authority to interfere. Little information existed in, Gibraltar of what was passing at Cadiz. The French troops at Algesiras left that place on the 2d for Port St. Mary's. The Spanish guards remained. Brussels papers to the 23d inst. were received this forenoon. The following are extracts: . VIENNA, SEPTEMBER Ig. It is on the sth of next month that the interview be tween the two Emperors will take place at Czernowitz e No member of the diplomatic body will be present, ex cept the Ministers of the two Sovereigns, Prince Met tetnich and COunt Nesselrode. This interview will, if possible, draw still closer the bonds of that intimate friendship which unites their Imperial Majesties, and will strengthen the good un derstanding which subsists between their Cabinets. PETERSBURGH, SEPTEMBER 2. We learn from Mitau that vigorous measures have been adopted there aoinst contraband trade. No less than forty-five counting-houses and warehouses of the principal merchants in this place have been put under se.ti—f•sequestratei. MITAU, SEPTEMBER 1. Since last Thursday, strict examination has been making here of all the ships, and they ate guarded by soldiers. This unexpected measure has caused great uneasiness. The Burgomaster and Council of the town, as well as the Nobility of Courland, have sent an Express to St. Petersburgh to make remonstrances on the subject. We learn, by accounts from Buenos /lyres of the th of June, that the reinforcements sent by General Bold- VAR had arrived at Lima, and all fears fur the safety of that city had subsided. The Royalists, after the defeat of ALVARADO, advanced in a great flurry as fare as Janja ; there they stopped, and have not shewn a dis position to move forward. It Yin, indeed, thought they would soon return to their old positions in Upper Peru, whither preparatiOns were making to follow them. In the New York Gazette of the Ist September, it i s stated, that as the ship Pacific was leaving Callao pn the '2d of May, a Colombian schooner of war arrived from Guayaquil, which was supposed to have on board General BOLIVAR, Who was to act as Generalissimo of the combined Colombian and Peruvian troops. AO - blow was expected to be struck soon. Extiact of a letter. from the 4g - e3 to Lloyd's at Sheer Tess, dated 25th inst.- " _ Niled his Majesty's shjp GENOA, Capt.

Mr. GRAHAM'S ASCENT from CHELTENRit WEDNESDAY, SLIT 24.—This day has turned very favourable for Mr. G.'s adventurous voyage . i li t ! scene of ascent was extensive premises behind the R o o Oak Inn. The most ample arrangements had 'b il l made for a supply of gas from the gas works of t 4 town ; the work of inflation commenced soon after t i o'clock, and the supply came so rapidly, that by ' o'clock the balloon was more than half full. Nlr.G r ham superintended the inflation, and by two o'clock was so far distended as to display its shape. The grq u '• was fully attended ;.and amongst the company wag Duke of Buckingham, attended by a party of frienc,. who had chairs near the balloon, so that they might 04 . serve the progress of inflation. Shortly before four o'clock Mr. Graham said that t ; 4 balloon was sufficiently filled with gas, and he then bud the car to the balloon. All was ready by t wenty e, nutes after four, when he and Mr. Webbe, of lie ge . ; , street, London, got into the car amidst the cheers of t; popplace. The balloon then rose, the ropes baying be cut; but it with difficnlty cleared the roofs of the stabling the car even knocking off some of the slates. The b i t loon then descended, which created considerable fibril for the aeronauts ; however, it fortunately descended i; the middle of the main street, when the crowd laid hpi of the car and paraded it up the street to a more op t . space. It was now found requisite for Mr. IVebbe of ai l quit his station, which he did with cons id era bl e reluc: Lance. That having been done, a n d M r .

The ballbon then asce n d e d ra pidl y , h eant if ull i i and steadily, Mr. Graham waving his hand to the pik palace to evince that all was side and promising. aq l wards the balloon winged its way, but with so much :1 apparent slowness as to afford the p u b i s amp l e oppor tunity for witnessing its progress. I n a b out serei minutes it was entirely out of sight. FASHIONABLE . INTELLIGENCE, The Dowager Mar'ehioness of Samsun: has left town foi Hatfield.
