TCH ' APRA& PARIS, APRIL 5. • ARMY OF THE PY RRNNREIL—ORDER OF THE DAt Somme arrive among you ! I have been satisfied with the good dispositions which animate you, and with yo* con stancy In supporting the fatigues of a long march, doting the in clemency of the season. It will be by the splendour of envy military virtue, that you will soon manifest your de►otion to the. King and to your country. fideity, konarr,disdpline, these will always be the device of the white flag, under which we are going to fight. I shill watch over all your wants. (Signed) "LOUIS ANTOINE. 44 116.4-qulrters, Bayonne, /lard% 30, 1823. " By order of his . Royal Highness the Loam._ of the Army, •(Countersigned) " The Major-General Count G U I LLEM I NOT." The Ministers assembled yesterday (Friday) even ing, at the residence of the President of the Council. The Duke of Belluno arrived at Bayonne on the ' 29th of March. Moncey is to attack Mina as soon as the French army.enters Spain. Letters from St. Jean Pied-de-Port say, that Gen. O'Donnell, Commander of the Royalist army of Na varre, having desired to put in the place of eight so . turier (persons not of the noldeue) officers of the divi sion of Santos Ladron, his son, and seven other Gen tlemen, they had not been able to get themselves ac knowledged—that a tumult had ensued, that they bad been fired on, and that the son of Genetal, O'Donnell and the rest had returned to Saint Jean Pied-de-Port just as they had left it. Saturday, Count Digeon, the successor or sub-' stitute of Marshal Victor, proposed to the Chamber of Deputies a prrdet of law for enabling the Govern ment to call out, in the present year, the contingent of the annual conscription, which would otherwise not be available until 1824. The number is not stated ; but is, we believe, 40,000 men, the ordinary levy of each year. The Minister says, in support of his application, that " it is indispensably necessary to create, at the commencement of a campaign, reserves proportioned to the operations which are about to be undertaken." It is pretty obvious that a war in Spain has latterly presented more difficulties to the imagination of the French crusaders than they had at first anticipated. MADRID, MARCH 25. _ _ _ In the Sitting of the (lortts.on the 22d, the Presi• dent announced that. the ordinary Session of the Cortes was suspended, and that its Sittings would be resumed at Seville on the 25th April, pursuant to a resolution already taken by that Asssenibly. Letters from Mach id of the 25th give but few de tails concerning the journey of Ferdinand. Their Majesties and Highnesses arrived at Aran juez on the 19th, at eight in the evening, without ex periencing the least inconvenience to their health from the journey. It appears, that afraid of being annoyed by guerilla patties, the commander of the escort made the journeys longer than was at first in tended. His Majesty has arrived at Sierra Morelia. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PA SU, ATM 2. To the sinister reports in circulation on the °tea . - . son of the Duc de Dellono's departure to the army, • have succeeded news of a different description, which for some time appeared to alarm some Royalists. It ss as at first stated that the Doc de Belluno, on per ceiving fully the necessity of his proceeding to the army with M. de Coetlo:quet, sail to the latter, on • getting into his carriage, " my dear friend, we are hoaxed," (nous sonnies mystifies). It was remarked in reality that, two days alter, M. de Cant, who had served utlder the Ministry of Gouvion St. Cyr, r.e-, placed M. de Coetlosquet ; that M. Deltic the younger, a Military Intendant, whose anterior conduct does not seem to be irreptoachable, was invested with the title of General Secretary ; that M. Parseval, roughly disgusted, had I;een•obli,ned to give in his resignation; and, fi nally, that M adame de Belluno had been induced to quit the hotel of the Minister of War. Some even went so far as to say that M. de Villele had promised to M. de Diann and assured Lim of the possession definitively of the portfolio, in case that he would lend himself to all hitacts. In addition, it was inferred from those facts that M. de Villele wished to change his system; and by ap proaching the Left Centre, to balance himself between the two parties, as M. Pasquier had done. To explain this alteration in the conduct of the President cf the COuncil, it was stated that fearing ti.at the war in Spain, if it should be fortunate, would give too great a preponderance to the Ministers who supported it, he wished to form a sort of third party, which would be useful as a counterpoise. These are but rumours; but to the following facts you may give implicit credit, for they are certain. First, M. de Chateaubriand has declared to several persons, that those alarms have no foundation, inas much as he was convinced that, far from thinking of detaching themselves from the Royalists, the Ministry wished more than ever to proceed in conformity with them; and that if it were otherwise, he should in stantly give in his resignation, and that the changes which had taken place in the War Department had been agreed on with the Duc de Belluno at the time Of his departure. We know that the Keeper of the Seals has given the same assurance. It is said that a woman was lately arrested at Ca lais, charged with carrying on a secret correspond ence, among which was found a letter written by M. • Lafitte to Sir R. Wilson.—New Times. When BONAPARTE was preparing to invade Spain, TALLETRAND remonstrated against it as fraught with difficulties. " No, no," said NAPOLEON, " the war Keith Spain will be only a breakfast for fear," replied the Minister," that your MAJESTY may be long at table." Accounts from Weimar of the 23d March state, that GoET n E is now quite recovered. On the pre ceding evening his Torquato Tasso was performed in the Court Theatre. At the beginning of the Play, Mil. V. HEYDENDORP, in the character of Duchess Leonora, on occasion of the Poet's recovery, crowned his bust with laurel, which was highly applauded by the crowded house. The report. of great movements in the Russian army is still circulated in Paris, and it is even stated to be advancing by forced marches to the banks of; the Oder ; but the titances of Russia are by no means in a condition to enable her to bear the expenses of, carrying on a war at a distance from her own fron tiers; for, as Lord BYRON observes— .. Not without Abraham's seed can Russia march, 'Tb gold, not steel, that rears the conqueror's uch THE EVENING STAR.

It seems that when a Tax is di minishEd in amount, it will not produce as much as it did before ; and that when it is repealed entirely, it will produce nothing. Hence it is that the Revenue of the country is, on the whole, now less than it was before. One thing, however, these wiseacres refuse to see, although it is as plain as the best of their dis coveries, namely, that expenses may be diminished as well as taxes, and that though the Revenue may be less, it is still possiblir havc a Enger surplus than ever. Such, in fact, is the simple truth. The Morning Chronicle, which has . been recently deprecating so strongly an interference with the in ternal concerns of other countries, is now, with its usual consistency, endeavouring to instigate the French to rebellion against their present Government. It gives an article under the signature of G. which calls in the most open and explicit terms on the Bench people to dethrone their present ICI:co, and elect in his place the Duan or ORLEANS, son of the infamous Euitara, who voted for the death of his Sovereign and relative, Loris XVlth. We call this an abominable abuse of the liberty of the press ; and shall not regret to see that it meets with the punish ment which it merits. The present relations of England to France are those of perfect amity; and it is no more competent to aay individual amongst us, than it would be to the nation at large, to act in such utter contempt of these relations as to stir up a civil war in the country of our ally. lie is, in fact, a traitor to .the interests of his own country, who is the advocate of treason against its friends. It would lie beneath us to enter into a refuta.:on of the con siderations by which this base attempt is supported; public feeling must already have done justice on the article and its author. But as the Duke of ORLEANS.— Lotus the Liberal—as this partizan is pleased to style him, is held up as a Prince of such transcen dent talents and virtue, as almost to sanctify a Revo lution for his sake, we are tempted to add a few traits to finish the portrait of the Chronicle. The Duke's taste for Theatricals induced him to claim the Theatre Francais as his property, on the ground that it belonged to his father, Emittra, though afterwards sold as national property. M. JULLIEN, [h. proprietor, liming he would be crushed by the Dukes influence, offered to mite 100,000 francs and cede the property to the Duke, though he would then have lost five times that sum by it. The Duke refused, anti they went to law.. His Highness was defeated its every: COutt, but resolved du having the Theatre at any price, be paid 1,100,000 francs for what he might have bid atlirst for 100,000. At this present moment Paris is deprived of a supply of water from the Canal de l'Ourc, after an immense sum has been expended on the works, because the Duke of ORLEANS claims a stream that feeds it, and will not consent to give it up, but on terms impossible to . bes complied with. So much for the Duke's love for the good city of Paris! The Barb°lda Duriense explains the nature of the deception by which the Portuguese bands of the Faith obtained their temporary success on the 13th of March. It appears that on the night of the 12th, a cavalry Officer came to the head-quarters of Brigadier PAMPLONA MONIZi at Radial, %%here General Reno then was. He pretended to be an emissary from his. comrades, who wished to escape from the rebels and join the Constitutionalists, but he was really a spy.— He saw that the troops, instead of being bivouacked, were in quarters, and he retained to Chaves to report his observations. The account then says —g , At day ' break, a force of three squadrons of cavalry appeared in front of the principal position, and a cordon on the . Lank extending as far as our cantonments." The troops on the spot, particularly, the 21st Regiment, fought gallantly, but they were completely taken by surprise. General Raoo himself narrowly escaped Ifrom being made a prisoner. The loss of the Conti. tutionalists was, however, incorniderable. 'They had no Officers killed; but a Captain of the rebels was kaled, and the Camp-Marshal VAIHA, who ocom minded the attack, was wounded ih the aver. Oathe 14th, all the Constitutional Officers who hadlteen i made prisoners were. called ,upon to join theeinntir puts, or to promise not to bear arms against diem. They all refused except two, one of whom is not a Portuguese. His name is M.' a, a native of Hanover. • The reign of the Mezican:Emperor, Irtraarna s 'has been but short. By accounts from Vera Cruz, of the 2d February, received at Havannah, we learn that he has abdicated the Throne. Seeing himself pressed on all sides, and knowing that the indignation of the whole province; was ready to burst forth, and that, moreover, the treasure he had rather robbed than amassed, for the payment of his troops and supporters, was expended, l►e deemed it most prudent quietly to lay down the imperial purple and diadem, and with draw to his own house as a private individual. The Government formed immediately was on the plan agreed upon at Iguala, where the Revolution first commenced: The new Government had behaved with the greatest moderation to the fallen Emperor, not attempting to inflict any punishment upon him, notwithstanding the despotic manner in which he had exercised his power as long as he held it, and the great affliction into which he bad plunged some of the first families of the country. The following interesting intelligence from Lima has been communicated by circular to the different mercantile houses concerned in the trade to that " LIMA. Ocr. 12, 1822. country : " A very arbitrary proceeding on the past of the new Govern ment of Peru, viz. the assum;tion of a right to levy forced con.. tributions on foreigners, has given a new and unexpected turn to their affairs in this 'Place. The English have unanimously resolved to leave the country ; fur, to say nothing of the ruinous nature to their present fortunes, of the sums levied upon them indi vidually, they can see nothing short of the complete subversion of all justice and principle. in the general and arbitrary proceed ings of the Congress. The sum ordered by Government to be exacted from the trade of the place was 400,000 dollars; of which one half was to fall upon the few English residents, and the houses of those were assessed at frcnt 10 to 30,000 dollars each,while the richest natives were only rated at from one to 5000, Nothing could have been more partial in execution, or unjust in principle, than the whole proceeding; and it is felt the more, as a liberal offer of a loan was made, which the Government re fused, and characterised as an insult. The only course now left was that of leaving the country, and every Englishman in the place immediately proceeded to demand his pauport—these I were at first refused, but upon the urgent application of Captain Prescott, the Minister promised they should be granted, and we had fixed the 15th instant for our departure ; when, to our stirprize, the passports were again refused. Upon another ap plication by Captain Frescott, the Minister of State wrote to him, that till the contribution war paid, passports could not be given; and Captain P. was then requested by the British mer chants to prevent British shipping from entering the bay. Upon adopting this decisive measure, Congress decided that the pass ports should be granted, without the previous necessity of pay ing contribution ; though, to the great inconvenience of every one, it has been thought advisable to fix the 21st instant for quitting the country, and the English establishments here will be broke up accordingly on. that day. Ocz. 22.—Government having hinted that the obnoxious measure of a forced contribution in the cue of the English would be abandoned, provided they came forward with a loan, a sum of 7: 4 400 dollars was cffered them, to be repaid by bills on the? Custom-house. negociable in six months hence; and the nutter is befare Congress. They seem willing to take the loan, but not to rescind the decree upon which they have considered foreigners liable to contributions ; but as this is made by the latter an in dispensable condition of the loan, nothing can be done till this point be settled On its decision, for or against us, we must yet consider our remaining in the country or leaving it to hinge." IMPORTANT NAVAL INTELLIGENCE FROM THE WEST INDIES. Coar, Aran. 4.—lntelligence front the West Indies has just reached us, the intrinsic importance of which must ►trike our Readers at once: The brig Hawke, Joan Roa,,Master, has ar rived in our harbour in .10 days from Barbadoes. A little before she sailed a French spy-bast, from Martinique, arrived, obvioudy dispatched to reconnoitre the strength of our naval force on that station. This purpose did not escape the vigilance of Commo dore Owen, who immediately sent the Foare frigate to Mar tinique, to ascertain the number of French ships of war then lying in that harbour. The report of the French force made by the PORTE, is as follows : Romulus, 74 guns. Hermione, 44 guns. Mozelle, Mims. Vestal, 64 'rheas, 44 L'Gtl2/11. 44 Jeande A cre,66 Deride, 44 L'Bgerie, 44 Besides the above formidable squadron, in a bass of peace, the following French frigates, of the largest class, were hourly expected, viz.—Guerriere, Circe, Chtopatra. It is difficult to suppose that the French Government would maintain so powerful a naval force in the West Indies, without having some decided political object in view--and as we do not dun to suspect it of being so prosparres in an its speculations and projects as to meditate a quarrel., the ocean with England, we are led to conjecture that some design is meditated against Cuba--and we confess, for our parts, that we do believe the acquisition of this noble Island to be at bottom a main incite ment to the quarrel with Spain. Bat in this we apprehend the French Government will be disappointed-•-for England cannot __wise& a territory as Cuba to be appropriated at the will of the Cabinet of the Thuilleries..notwitintanding that our naval force at Barbadoes is inferior to that of the Preach at Pdarthdque. the following vessels compose the British squadron at Barba- Lee, and on the &atlas s AT BABIIADOM Gioursitut 74 pow, Sir EDWARD OWOII6 Foxes 4B Sir .1.
