They Contain some details of interest. The late revolution, or counter-revolution, in Spain, has unquestionably been effected withiptt any of the odious characters of similar changes in other parts of the world : not a drop of blood has been shed, and the, popular feel ing, so far as we can judge froM the absence of every thing like popular commotion, is decidedly in favour of the new measures adopted by FERDINAND. Lan guage cannot do justice to the flattering reception which our gallant countryman, WELLINGTON, has received at Madrid. He has been hailed as the Cid of England ! Why not of Europe ? This feeling in favour of their deliverer is highly honourable to the Spanish 'nation. It informs us that the age of chivalry has 'not yet departed from Spain; and that. the Cortes have riot carried with them into exile all the noble qualities of:the Spanish nation. The Journal des Debits, a Paris paper, which more than any other, has laboured in the glorious work of hunting down the Tygir who has taken refuge in ilba, contains, in a letter to.the Editor, the following additional anecdotes of the Munster. The Editor vouches for their authenticity 2 After 'stating that BONAPARTE was most cordially detested by his mother, his brothers, sisters, a'Aci all • r4atiyesb th writer proceeds : _ _ BONAPARTE'S Valet-de•Chambre writes froth the island of Elba, where he followed him voluntarily, Is that he considers himself the most unfortunate of =eh, to haVe continued in the service , of such a tnonster,' fry the wretch has lost his reason,' and con ducts himself like a fool. He has, in short, become au object of derision to his new subjects, the inhabi kants of the Island; and the Officers who accom panied him, thinking still to make their fortunes by suppoiting the contemptible puppet', despairing ()ibis cure, have returned to France.' Thus he is struck by the hand of Cop at the very moment when the powers' f the earth unite to save him ! 46 Finally, a Iths,sian General, aho lodged in he Castle of Flainville, attests the truth of the following Ahecdott t • " )30FATAIITZ being at Mostoiv, thought !lima master of Russia and the whole world. In the deli. limn of his pride, he caused a Medal .to be struck, the legend of which was—u Nirozzsw, .rnizervr of ..7At ?sena and Czar of Rusria!"—On the reverse of Vitt Medal—“ Con in Heaven, and Mfrozroy on . Zorth !"—This will perhaps seem incredible; but • the Itussian General has given his word of honour to 'end to the proprietor of the Castle of Plainville a • kait of this tvhaii, in gold, silver, .4 bronze, as he tau End one. s'You must admit, Mr. Editor, that a ~ab►ott can possess nothing more curious than this Medal, which will prove the extravagance of the I►u -3tnan Wild, when blinded by pride and ambition." The French Chamber of Deputies were occupied en Moody with a discussion on the eligibility of 'M. FICItTi of Geneva.. That Gentleman defended him: • self in a most eloquent speech, by pleading that his father having been called to the States General in 1789, the right of the Son in 1814 to sit in the Chamber of Deputies was equally good.—The busi ness has been referred to a Committees PARIS, JUNE 14. The Director of the Royal Institution for the Deaf and Dumb (Abbe Sicard) had the honour to be pre sented to the Xing yesterday. nis Mjcsty, on hearing his nartie, addressed hith in the following flattering terms Ah ! is it you, Abbe Sicard ! I am glad to see you. lam well acquainted With all the gond which you have always done, are now - doing, and which you are still disposed to do. You fill the place of Abbe L'Epee, Who enjoyed a just celebrity. I invite you to go on: You merit, like -him, the public gratitude.* • .2.. f : • BOURDEAUX, JUNE 9: The Duke of Wellington is expected every instant within our walls. The Civil and Military .Authori ties have already made arrangements for receiving him with all the honours due to his noble qualities ' still more than to his rank. 1 The Bourdelais, without doubt, will receive with the most lively emotions of joy that great Captain, whom success has not altered, and who Away, knew that in moderation alone consisted his highest and best title to glory, and who seems to find in the es teem of the French people one of the most fksttering recompences of his distinguished services. MADRID* MAY The regular Clergy have had the honour to be presented to his Majesty, and were most graciously received, and were invited to kiss hands. Our Journal ,dlealaya adds this reflection—"" Let us' bury in oblivion the misfortunes in which the clergy of all the religious orders have been plunged, since they are compensated by the protection of so great a Monarch, chosen by Divine PROVIDENCE to render to GOD 411 his glory and happiness to his subjects." There has been published at Madrid the following work :—Nalsoleon, or Me true Don' Quixote of Sfrain, a work, in eight volumes, with two engravings. The subject is taken from recent- events, such air the unjust suppres#ion of the Councils of Castile, Monks, and Grandees of Spain. In this book is gisien an idea of our ancient Cortes and an easy way to re-establish them, without borrowing any thing froin the national assemblies of France. The author proves that the journey of King Ferdinind to Bayonne was useful to the nation, which would hive suffered still greater calamities. These articles of intelligence from the Court, and the Booksellers shop, tell us better than any letter what is passing in our country. MADRID, JUNE 3. Lord Wellington, Duke of Ciudad Rodrigo, having stopped a short time in the village of Fuencarral, two leagues from Madrid, was received in the manner of a General lemming in triumph. All the bells in the village were sounded, and the local Authorities complimented his arrival. The Children of a School established in the village, walked in procession before his carriage, and presented him with the following Address : " May it please your Excellency ! " The children of the primary school of this vil lage have the honour to salute you, and felicitate you on the brilliant victories which you have gained in favour of our adored Sovereign Ferdinand VII. and our country. _Noble, invincible, loyal, incom parable Cid of England—you are the glory of our age, the admiration of Europe, the restorer of our dear Spain. " Our tender hearts will preserve for ever the me mory of the most extraordinary man of this age, the liberator of the oppressed, who inspired terror in our enemies. 66 Deign to receive these sincere homages, this faithful expression of our gratitude for all the benefits received from you, incomparable hero! by our Conn try and the Sovereign whom we idolize. The humble and affectionate children who now throw themselves at the Feet of your Excellency, will never cease to pray to DLVINi PROVIDENCE for your prosperity, and the long duration of your glorious days." The Supreme Council of Castile is re.establishcd, with some modifications: We shall give the text of the decree forthwith. BERNE, Ii 'NE 4; M. Jerome Bonaparte and his wife set out the day before )esterday for Gratz, in the Austrian domi- nions. M. Joseph Bonaparte paid them a visit the evening before their departure. • VENICE, MAY 29. The Emperor, by a note in his own handwriting, of the has informed Count Ugarte, Grand Cha,ncellor of Bohemia, that the union of all Lom bardy and the ex-Venetian States to the Austrian monarchy was definitively settled. Count Ugarte lias hastened to communicate this happy and impor tant news to the Prince of Reuss Plauen, civil and military Governor-General for our august Sovereign in Italy. tERNE, JUNE 5. Yesterday morning we were informed that about 250 armed peasants had scaled the ramparts of So leure during the night, had disarmed the guard, and then delivered the -Protect, Frey d'Olten, yam was detained there. Last night out guards were tripled. I i t p.m. light artillery and A company of infantry set off for Soleure. To-day we learn that the pea sants have retired from Soleure. The burghers having wished to retake the arsenal, of which the insurgents had got possession, were fired upon, and five were killed and 20 wounded. Our troops have occupied the gates of Soleure. We are in pursuit of the pea -1 cants. A great number of burghers have fled. FRANKFORT, JUNE 8. The cdntonments taken up by Austrian troops On the banks of the Rhine, at the moment when peace with France is concluded, give rise to a variety of conjectures, which are fortified by the new passage of, the Rhine, by the corps of Baden troops, under General Hochberg, which took place at Fort Louis, from whence the s e troops repaired to Spire, Ger. mersheim, and Keyser's Lantern It is hence con. chided that there will be important territorial changes, which have not yet been definitively arranged, but will becoMe the subject of ulterior negotiations. The Leyden Journal, of the 10th, contains an article under date of Madrid, May 24, to the following ef fect We are assured, that in Consequence of se veral conferences which have taken place between Lord WELLiwaroir, who has recently arrived in this capital from Paris, and those Members of the New GOVernMent in win= his Catholic Majesty places frost confidence, King FeitniNarai has signed a de claration, in which he engages speedily t convoke a legal assembly of the Cones of the nation, for the I purpose of forming, in concert with them, a Constitui tional Charter for Spain, conformable to the wishes of .the people, and itlapted to the existing State of Europe." The enemies of literature, argue in favour of the Uni versity claim to eleven copies of all new books, or improved new Editions, that it is a vested right, and that they have therefore as good a right to them as any landlord to his fieehold This vested right" had no existence before the reign of Queen Ann, and, till within these two years, no person who was not .desirous to wane his copy-right, was considered , bound to give away copies for nothing. The Parlia. ment of Queen Ann had no more right to vest such a right in the Universities, than our present Parliament have to give the same Universities a right to call upon the bakers and butchers to sisMly them gratis with bread and mutton for the encouragement of farmers. Were this power to be now vested in the Universities would our landholders ever be brought to acknowledge that the right of the Universities to such a tax was as good as their own to their respec tire estates? bUrCH MAIL. 3y the NA from i-lolland of this filming, we hive received the following : 13kUSSEk. 4 1, JUNE 9. it The sadden departure of General Graham and Gen'eial Murray, for Eng:and, is supposed to be to arrange measures for the cantonment of a conside rable army in Belgium. after the departwe of the Prussian troops."

" CONS TANTINOPLE, MAY 11. 46 The great and happy events in France occupy not only the attention of the Sublime Porte, but that of the whole Public here : they are the subjects of gene ral conversation, and cause universal jny. We trust that the commercial relations between the Levant and France will resume their wonted activity undck the protection of the House of Bourbon. A Courier from Cairo has brought intelligence that the City of Derradge, the capital of theWah3bis, in Arabia Deserta, has fallen into the hands of the Ottoman troops. The Chief of the Wahabis resided in that city." We can assure our Readers, upon the best autho rity, that the Proclamation of Peace WILL. NOT take place to-morrow. The arrangements, however, for die procession of the Imperial and Royal Visitors to Guildhall, are of the most splendid description—it will take place between five and six o'clock in the evening. The Emperor of Russia, the Duchess of OLtSEN tinual, and their suites were arriving in town'on their return from Oxford, to Pulteney Hotel, from-eleven o'clock on Wednesday night till five o'clock yesterday morning. The EMPEROR and the DUCHESS arrived between two and three o'clock. They travelled in an open carriage, and experienced the inconvenience of a fall of rain and a thunder storm on their way to town. The ENIPEROR having promised the Countess of JERSEY to be present at her Ball, with the greatest condescension, although at that late hour, went there with all possible speed, and remained till six The EMPEROR rose soon after red o'clock. • At a quarter past five, the Esmenon and attend. ants, returned to Pulreney Hotel, ftoni viewing the Charity Children, in St. Paul's.

De berenger and others, will be brought up for judgment on Monday next. The following is given as an authentic copy of BONAPARTE'S last Speech to the Senate : se I expected comfort from you : you bring me nothing but °Wades: do you think yourselves the Representatives of the Nation ? It is I who am. You have named in your Commission no person at tached to the Court : as if attachment to the Court and to France were not the same thing. I discover in your proceedings the spirit of the Vergniauds and Gaudets—what are become of these men ? They are dead. lam neither Capet not Lou:s XVI. If Louis had not accepted the Constitution of .1791, he mould have been still alive. I was not born upon a Throne ; but I have been called to it by 40 millions of people. What is a Throne i Four.. planks of wood covered with velvet. It is the man that sits on it that consti tutes its whole force. The- nation wants me more than I do the nation. • The Members of your Com mission are live factious men. Raygnouard has basely calumniated Marshal Massena :he lied It well be- COMICS Raygnouard to speak so of a :klarshal, who has rendered such eminent services to his country. — The Duke is a bad man, who has coricspondcric:. with the Regent, with the enemy, in connection with the Advocate Deseze, at whose house there arc secret meetings. Your Commi%sioners ask concessions greater than those demanded by the Allies. %%len France is invaded, is that the moment to speak of concessions ? There are complaints I know-half false, half true, perhaps ; but the Ministers and Coun sellors of State were the proper persons to be address ed, and 1 would then have done justice. I am one of those men who may be killed, but not dishonoured. Would you set fire to the Thuilleries ? A Savoyard can do it. Alsace and Lorraine evince an energy worthy of Frenchmen. They demand troops of me. I send them my Aide.de-Camp, my Chamberlain, as Chief of my Adherents. In three months—in some months—l shall either have driven the enemy out of France—or have made peace—or be no more !" N4V44 INTtLLIGEXCI. WE St INDIA FLEET. VALttll lA, COUNTY nr KERIIIT 'VINE 11.
