MPORT•UF TIIE MAJOR-GENERAL TO HIS EXCEL- LilliCY THE 111 SISTER SECRETARY OF STATE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF WAIL. MAnszo, 2DIS MAY, 1823. MONSIEUIt—I have the honour of transmitting to roor Excellency some reports which have reached me with respect to the interior of Spain. .13abastcros had collected at Valencia the troops lie brought from Arragon, and the corps which urn; srationed at Terruel, Valencia, Alicant, Pensa and Carthagena. Oa the (22d of May he left Valencia and marched towards the Xucas, with the intention of crossing it to retire on Grenada. 44 The troops which were at Madtid and in the eaviroas,under the command of Abisbal and Zayas, lure retired upon *Talavera de la Reyna, and to wards EstreinaLlura. This double combination leaves road to Seville open. In the .province of Malaga, the people refuse to ry theiMpoits: Some villages bare risen, and it has beets fund necessary to send militia towards Ada lg, ierrania, to quell the insurrection. 4 , Thttlesertion is very great among the Constitu tional' troOps. An attempt has been made to form 2 Army of Reserve in Andalusia ; but Villa Campa, do was to command it, has only been able to as table a few men. • _g The spirit of that Province is very good. Gal k and Estrernadura want only a point trappui for isarrection. La Mancha is entirely free of Liberals, AO are at this moment the object of popular hatred ad persecution. *Besides the Church ptate which they have taken away, the Liberals have made almost everywhere mown: requisitions in money, horses, &c. " Metter written from Seville, dated May 22, says, 'lopes Banos replaces Count Abisbal, who has gi ten in listesignation, and remains in the env irons of Madrid. The giard over the Royal Family has been triplid, See a fur that the population might make an at ienrpt.to liberate theni ; and, for the same teasels, they have interdicted the prisoners from the rime lade in the garden of Alcarez: " A squadron cruizes before Cadiz, which prevents the departure of all but fishing-boats. It is believed ar Seville, that there are among the French ships which cool ; -e this squadron several Russian fri• gates mkt vesels. Nlori t io is at Benevento with the wreck of diffe rent Canaiwtional corps and some new levieS, which Genetil Bourck, who is executing a movement upon Leon, ••ill easily, disperse. " The PUrtuguese General Saveyta is, it is said, at Sdam.soca. " Several Deputies to the Cortes appear to have an intention of quitting Seville, in order to withdraw themselves from the anarchy which reigns there. " M. Garcia Ilerreros has been named Minhter of the Interior, but has not accepted the office. The arrival of the French is ardently desired by men of ail parties. The Royalists want them to consolidate their deliverance; the Liberals to protect them from the vengeance to which they are exposed. (Siped) Najor-General Comte GUILLEMINOT." PRIVATE LETTER. " PARIS, JUNE S. The day before yesterday, it being the anniver my of the death of young LALLEMAND, it was re marked in Paris, that a great number of young per sons appeared in moerning, and assembled at the house of LALLENIAND'S mother. Several deputations Not the Medicine School attended, and condoled with Madame L. on the death of her son. " A part of; the above deputation, to avoid a tu mult, departed for Pcre la Chaise, where they were Elm a Commissary, accompanied by a numerous detachment of the Police, who prevented their enter ing the Church-yard. " One of the Students observed to the Commissary, that it was • against all reason to prevent them strew ing a few flowers on the tomb of their departed friend. " Tine, or four of the party gained entrance b stealth, and were locked in. Their comrades on the outside demanded their liberty, which was refusal 'VW ....OW pen which they made a breach in the door, and re leased their companions. • I 4, Two detachments of geedarmes arrived immedi ately afterwards, and arrested a number of them— the others made a precipitate retreat.* Tip is morning ,we received Frankfort and other German Papers to the 31st ult. They contain some details of tho successes of the Greeks, and the pre parations making by the Turks to oppose them. The following are extracts: CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL 26. This capital continues to enjoy entire tranquillity, which will be still farther confirmed by the sailing of the greater part of the fleet, the crews-of which fre- quently commit great excesses before their departure, and are not easily kept in due subordination. -The division of the fleet which has been long sta tioned in the Dardanelles, and consisted of 40 ships of war of different sixes, has been reinforeed by 11 fri gates and corvettes, which have successively joined it, At present there are again eight frigates, seven cor- vettes, and several brigs and schooners in the roads of Beschicktosch, ready to sail, the command of which, it is said, the Iligh Admiral himself will take. The ill success of the last campaign has, it is said, induced the Porte to determine to let the fleet act this time against the insurgents in several divisions, and thus to lessen bath the confusion in the ma- nceuvres and the danger arising from the numerous Greek fire•ships. We learn that one of these divisions is to take on board the troops assembled on the Asia• tic coast, in order to effect a landing in the island of S.trnos: a second squadron may probably attempt to relieve the fortresses in the island of Candia, which is in great distress, both from famine and the plague : it may also be anticipated that the Government will not lose sight of the fortresses in the Morea, which are still in the hands of the Turks. We have no certain information respecting the mo tions of the squadrons of the . insurgents ; it is said that a division of 4.5 of their ships lately appeared near 'Penedos ; but they seem disposed to rely chiefly on their ships, to which they owe the advantages of the last campaign ; for they have made great im- provements in their construction, and considerably increased the number of those vessels. The fortresses of Para', Corinth, Lepanto, the Castles of the Morea, Coron and Modun, as well as Negroponte and Curisto, were, according to the latest accounts, still in the possession of the Turkish troops. All eyes are now turned on Mustapha Pacha of Scu tari, nephew of Mahmud Pacha, who was celebrated in the last was with Austria—The Porte has lately added to his extensive Viceroyalty - the Governments of Ochri and Elbessan, to enable Not to . make the great armaments required for the approaching cam paign. Larissa, in Thessaly, is appointed this year, as it was last, for the rendezvous of the troops or dered to act against the Greeks. SERBS, APRIL to. Since the 18th of this month Turkish troops have been daily passing on their march against the Itiorea. We have not heard anything new from the environs of Larissa. The collecting of the taxes is carried into effect with the greatest rigour. SEMLIN, MAY 15. • Letters from Seres of the Sd of this month have been received at Belgrade, which state that the , Greeks who are in the Island of Thaso have made an expedition against a column of Turkish troops that were marching along the coast towards Salonichi, and have entirely defeated them. It is also reported that the Castle of Larissa has surrendered to the Greeks. TAIF,.STE, MAY la. On the 6th of this month Patras was still in the hands of the Turks, as well as Coron and Modon. Bahia Papers to the 12th of April reached us this forenoon. They ahnounce the arrival of the expe dition _from Lisbon, and we may consequently soon expect to bear of active operations in the Brazils. The following are extracts : BAHIA, APRIL 4. Monday, at sunset, the expedition from Lisbon entered our port, after a voyage of 44 days. Our squadron covered the rear of the expedition, with which it effected its junction at the place appointed. The expedition consists of twelve vessels, under convoy of the Perola frigate c it had on board five battalions of Chasseurs, and infantry and corps of artillery, with fourteen new brass cannon. We have more than sufficient force to realise good order in the province. The city was secure against the attacks of the besiegers, though 2000 men had been drawn from it, who went with the squadron.— It is now necessary not to lose a moment, that the rebels, whose situation is desperate, may not do the Reconcavo more mischief than they have already done. A letter from Kingston, Jamaica, dated April 18, says—" Arrived yesterday the William, FRAM, in eight days from La Guyra; she brings advice that General Montilla, with 600 troops and 12 pieces of artillery, intended shortly to give battle to General Morales, who had taken a strong position in the neigh bourhood of Maracaibo, but with very inferior force." TIIR PLAGUE.--CGNSTADITINOPLTy APRIL 26. The plague is in Bujukdere: ten days ago a new case, which proved mortal, occurred in Pera, and several patients have already been brought into the Greek Hospital. The contagion seems not yet to have spread among the Turks, Armenians, and Jews ; but it is said that it begins to spread in Alexandria: the Wands of Candia and Tyno too, are still suffering by its wages. ...t THE iambs cotlnt. • yesterday, at foot o'clock, the KING held a Court at his Palace; in Pall-Mall, which was attended by, The Lord President of the Connell, the First Lord of the Treasury, the Lotd Privy Beal, the Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the First Lord of the Admiralty, the Muter-General of the Ordnance, ttor Own ceUor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the blaster of the Mint, the President of the Board of Convoy!, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord Steward, the Vtie-Chamberlain, the Groom of the Stole, the Treasurer of the Household, the Ambassador from the Ne therlands, the Bishop of Calcutta, Lord Boston (in Waiting), General Finch (Groom in Waiting).

THE ARMY. - It is reported that a considerable reduction will soon take place in the Royal Military Academy, at Woolwich. principally amongst professional persons attached to that department, and in future it will be required that candidates for the Ordnance Military Corps will be educated at their own expense for that anvice, by which reduction a very great saving will be effected in the Ordnance. The whole of the 731 Regiment of Foot, which bas been re placed at Hull by the 65th Regiment from Weedon, is now on its march from that station to Scotland. The 77th Regiment, which has been ordered from Scotland to Ireland, and which arrived at Portpatrick in three divisions, on the :Id, 3d, and 4th inst. on its route thither, has embarked for its destination. The Cheshire Yeomanry Cavalry; under the command, ef Sir Joaa LITCISTIIIi marched into Liverpool on Saturday, where they are to remain for seven days on permanent duty. 'They are upwards of 700 strong, and an uncommonly fine body of men. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

This favourite retreat of the Kirin is no longer to be called as heretofore, the Royal Cottage, but is for the future to go by the name of the King's Lodge. It is expected that his MA JESTY will return to Carlton Palace in about ten days. His MAJarri's usual party had the honour of dining with him yesterday. Yesterday, Prince LsoPotm had a grand dinner at Marlbotough House, to meet her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT. Yesterday morning, the Dna:es; of CLARENCE and the Duchess of SAXE WEIMAR visited the Duchess of GLOUOZSTEII. The Duchess of CLARENCE and the Duchess of SAYE WEIMAR left town for Bushy Park. It is reported in a Morning Paper, we know not how truly, that dispatches trom Seville, dated the 20th ultimo, have been received at the Spanish Em bassy, which bring positive assurances that neither the new Ministers, nor the Cortes, entertained the most distant idea of making any concessions to the French, or to the Government about to be established by them. Nothing, had, in fact, occurred at that date to shake the confidence in Spanish courage and per severance. It is supposed that the arrival of there dispatches has determined the fixing the flay for a Meeting of the Friends of Spain, which had been post poned. It is said that a vessel will leave the river in a few days for Spain, laden with 1000 barrels of gunpowdet., and several thousand stand of arms. - _ . .

Mr. HART urged this argument, and observed, that while the property was always at the disposal of the wife, it secured the husband's good treatment of her: The LORD CuAxceLhort sanctioned that principle, and ordered that the settlement should be, to secure to her the dividends for life, to her children, if any; after her death, with power to her to dispose. of thd remainder by will, but not by deed, because one instru. ment was revokable, the other was not: EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HONDURAS, DATED APRIL 13, 189.3. " The only news I can give you from hence is, that five or six of the deluded creatures whom Sir Gregor hi' Gregor sent to the Mosquito shore, as suttleri to his Viceroyship of royals, arrivt here about eight days ago from Black River, after undergoing dreadful exposure and privation in an open boat. One of them, a poor woman, in the middling rank of life, witnessed her hue- band and infant expire before her in the boat, from absolute want. " Out of 85, who arrived at one time at the shore, nine re 4 main ; some put out to sea to reach the Belize, others up the river, and have never been heard of, and others died miserably near to where they were landed, which was absolutely among Mangrove trees, which they had to cut down. The greater part of their provisions were lost on Black River Bar. To give you idea of MiGregur's way of imposing on them, there is now in Belize a letter of recommendation given by him to a son of Mr. Tory, clothier, of Edinburgh, addressed to his Racellency Bria gadier-General Hall, who is a Mosquito man, whom I saw id Belize the other slay, with scarcely any breeches on him. General Codd intends sending immediately for the remnant of another load which were sent there lately ; if be does not, they must perish front exposure if not disease." HORRIBLE BARBARITY, Monday last Mr. and Mrs. MIDDLETON, who reside at the village of Weston, two miles from Bath, went out in a gig, leaving their four daughters at home. One of the daughters is ten years old, the next eleven, Mary, the third, fourteen ; and the fourth is grOwn a woman, and superintends the domestic concerns of the house. On returning about four o'clock, and ar riving, at the gate, they called the servant, Thomas Wheeler, several times, to take the horse and gig, but received no answer. At length he came to the gate, and seemed much confused. Mr. MIDDLETON went into the lower garden, where an alarm was spredd that Mary was missing. Mr. MIDDLITON, in passing a wood-pile in the garden, discovered , a part of his daughter's dress, and thought she had only hid herself from her sisters; he, however, helped her out, and found her clothes torn and smeared with filth from the privy ; she was exhausted and fell down again. When she was a little recovered, she . said " 011.! Papa, .Thomas has used me so ill," and afterwards related to her mother a tale of the most horrifying description. In the agitation of the moment a constable was talad of, which Wheeler overhearin g , he instantly made his escape, but on Tuesday was taken near the Grand Stand on Lansdown. On Wednesday morning, Wheeler was brongda to Mr. PAGE% Office, Bath, before EDMUND ANDERDON . and THOS. LAIR, Esqrs. where the child, her parents, and other witnesses attended. Miss MIDDLETON then deposed, that after her father and mother were gone out. on Monday, she and her two younger sisters were . walking up and down the front garden, to learn their lessons—that about four o'clock it began to, rain fast; her sisters ran into the house, and she was turning round at the top of the garden to go in also, when Wheeler ran up the steps, caught her in his aims, ran into the coach-house, and Tuned her up a ladder into the loft ; he then pushed the ladder down, and effected his diabolical purpose. Just about this time he heard the gig coming up the ' avenue, and in his alarm he jumped from the loft into the cnach-house, a height of nine feet, and dragged the child with him; he then took her under his arm and threw her headlong 'into thebivy, jumped dorm himself, and dragged her to thilrood pile', where, in a senseless state he left her, and where she was found by her father as described. Misr - Mit- DiwroN screamed and struggled With the wretch for upwards of half an hour, but he threatened her, and held his hand over her mouth; .notwithstanding this, het cries were heard by an old woman in the village, who thought it was a cry of distress, and that one of 'the children had slipped into a gutter,' and was call- ing out for assistance.
