" The Marquis de Alarcillas, whose writings in Spain are well known, has received a commission in the Staff of the Duke of Angouleme. The Marquis has Always been employed with success in difficult circumstances. To most useful knowledge he unites a thorough acquaintance with S i ain, where he rnay perform great services. Since the tesolution of the Chamber of Deputies on Saturday last, to authorise an action against the Editor of the Journal du Commerce, has been referred to the Keeper of the Seals, the documents have been transmitted to the Ti ib i nal of the First Instance.— An Ordonnance of the Chamber of Consultation has dec"..led that the Editor (M. Carton) should be called before the Tribunal of Correctional Police to-day (Fri clay), for offences tov..ards the Chamber of Deputies", FROM TILE PILOTE. 44 It is thought that the Lad health of M. de Vil lele will oblige hint, in a few du; s, to give up the la borious functions of PR:sick:la of the Council of Ministers. " The Duke of ltagusa has not accepted the offer of the Minister of \Var. There are son.e kinds of re sponsibilities to which it is not agrccable to be liable. " A re-organization of the Natioi;al Guard is spoken of. It is thought that the id - mined officers, who had hitherto been exempt from all service, will be incorporated with the new legions. There is . no idea of leaving to the companies the choice of their own officers." • FROM THE CONSTITUTIONNCL• " It is affirmed that Lieutenant-General Devilliers, who commands our division (acmes), has received orders to arm our coasts as speedily as possible. The arming of the forts round St. Maio is carrying on with activity. The commerce of that place is at a stand, and no vessels are fitting out."—From L'A►ni do la Charte. PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. PrairIGNAN, .111Ancti 12. gg The officers of the several corps and different arms of the division of Counc Curial have received today the usual gratuity in taking the held. " The several corps of the division of Count Cu rial are made to deliver today, to the troops of the division of Baron d'Eroles, all the old great coats in the magazines of the several regiments. " The following is the numerical statement of the cantonment, which will form also a part of the divi sion of Baron d'Eroles : BanyAs des Aspre - - - 578 Bages - - - - 510 Broulla - - - 458 Ortaffa - - - - 403 Tressere - - 576 Augustheza - - - 116 Cot ella del Verlet and Montercol - 83 Total 2724 Which, added to the troops forming the cantonment of St. Lint ence de la Salanque, makes the present force of this division 5,055 men." " MARCH 13.—Mosen Anton has arrived this fore noon ; he has left his division at Campredon; he was posted at the little village of Arboussias,. at the foot of the Mountains of Monseing. This village is sur rounded by rocks and precipices: 4000 Constitution alists occupy Olot, 3000 liippoii, and 1500 Valfon gona; his position was critical. In this state of things, Colonel Aranjo, who was at Calella, had a parley with him, and offered to let him pat ticipate the benefits of the amnesty ; he sent him for this pur pose the Decree of the Cortes. Mosen Anton sent him, in return, the several Proclamations of the Re gency, and all the anti-constitutional writings piloted in France. Colonel Aranjo urged - him to declare himself. Mosel' Anton required ten days to consider, and the Colonel replied he could not take it on him to grant him so long a time ; that he had consulted General Milans, who had refused so long a delay : Aranjo told him, at the same time, that the parley. ing was at an end ; that he had nothing to do but to retire, informing him that the most essential points were guarded by the Constitutional troops. _ Mosen Anton resolved to retreat with his 1200 men. He left Arboussias in the night, climbed over the summit of the mountains of Esquirol, Roupil, and Grau, reached Cap Sacosta, on the side of St. Jean des Also dessas, and arrived on the 11th at Campredon :.4.00 men have entered by Pratz de Mollo. They slept iast night at Arles, and the others will soon follow, for it seems certain that 3000 Constitutional troops are advancing by Campredon, where they will take up a military position. " Mosen Anton has resolved to present himself to Baron IYEroles, to acquaint him with the melan choly i.iLuation of the several bands in Catalonia: he comes to tell him that the whole population is rising in a mass; that the Somatenes attack them on all sides, wherever they appear, and that it is the pillage committed by most of the Chiefs of the bands in Ca talonia which has exasperated all the inhabitants, and ruined their cause. d , On the other hand, the refugees, who are orga nising, ate very much discontented. They say publicly they will not be commanded by a Frenchman—that the first musket-shot shall be for him, and that they will enlist among the Constitutional troops. Baroli lltro:es has arrived this evening. Major- General, the Marquis de Vince, has also arrived, for La Certhigne. The Chasseurs of La Sarthe have ar rived at Ille, and the first battalion of the 6th light legit:lea stays to-night at Prades. There remains in Cerdagne only two battalions of the 32d and of the 6th light idantry, not including the garrison of Mont Louis, composed of a detachment of the 60th. General de Vince has also left thirty chasseurs at Mont Louis." The Court of Cassation in Paris has confirmed the sentence of the Assizes at Rennes, condemning to death the person Genestour, for having set fire to 15 farms, and attempting to set fire to another building. • The latest accounts tromWeimar state that Gorrn E is out of danger, and that drinking Champagne, con trary to the advice of his Physicians, has saved him. •• The official report of the Commissioners for the revision of the National Debt in Siveden, is now published, from which it „appears, that on the Ist of January, 1822, the amount of the _ D e b t was ! 9,491,608 ria-dollars hanco, from which deduct ti,323,146 iii-tioliars for claims and outstanding debts; leaving 6,105,463 rix MMus.

The information they bring relative to the insurrection in the province of l Trazos Montes is by no means satisfactory; for while i we ate tolcrof the enthusiasm and good spirit which animates the Constitutional troops, it appears that the Count d'AMARANTE had not met with any re sistance, although the force which he headed is stated to be contemptible. In the Sittings of the Cortes, some laws to strengthen the executive power, on account of d'AMA RANTE's insurrection, were passed; and the Colonels of several regiments were introduced to the Cortes, and declared their adherence to the Constitution. M. BARRET° FEI3 read a-motion proposing that the Cortes should decree that the expenses caused by civil war should be paid by those who excited it; that every city, town, &c. that should be seduced to declare against the Constitutional System, should be obliged to pay all the expenses of the troops which the Government should send to restore order, from the day of their leaving their quarters till their re turn.—Read a first time, and laid on the table for the second reading in the next Sitting. In the Sitting of the Cortes on the 7th, M. FELQUXI• RAS read various communications from the Govern ment respecting the Rebellion, which they represent as of little importance, not being seconded by the troops (except the Garrison of Chaves) or the inhabi tants. " The Government continues to take the ne cessary measures, and, considering the spirit of pa triotism which begins to display itself at the sight of the factious, there is great reason to hope that this infamous band will disappear amidst our cries, which resound from all quartets, of 6 Long live the Consti tution, the Cortes, and the Constitutional King !'" Accounts from Braga state that Gen. L. de Rego arrived there on the Ist, and that on the 2d, while the General was addressing the troops, a Spanish of ficer entered, crying " Long live the Portuguese Cow stitution !" which was received with extraordinary enthusiasm, and cries of " The Spanish Constitution fur ever !" The Officer then said aloud, a My General, Senor Quiroga, sends to offer to General Luiz de Rego not only his army, but money, which he may employ for the benefit of the Peninsular cause. Some are al ready marching to Monte-Rei, where they will wait for further orders." This declaration was received with the griatest transport by 6000 soldiers and as-many or more pa triots who were present. General Reco immediately marched to Lanhoso with the Spanish Officer and the army, in three co lumns, in the direction of Basto Salamonde and Sen hora do Porto. The Supplement to the Diario of the 3d, contains the following official statement; " By accounts from the province of Traz os Montes, we know that the rebel, Count d'Amatante, after having given the signal for civil war on the 29d ult. at Villa Real, and left there as Governor Don Jose Luiz de Souza, proceeded to Chaves, where he ar rived on the 24th, and acted the same farce ; having first taken the Commander of the 6th it egitnent, who zealously opposed his infamous attempt, as well as various Officers and soldiers, in doing which there was some distil: bance, and some were wounded, some retiring, and others joining the revolt. The malcon tents thought_to get the city of Braganca to•join their party, in which they did not Sucieed; nor have hitherto becn able to advance in spite of all their ef-- forts. They spread abt oad that all means were taken thSt the Revolution might break out on the same day at Braga, Oporto, Viana, Coimbra, &c. Oar troops, under the brave General Rego, were eager to march against the rebels. On the 27th they occupied Braga, and on the 28th the head•quarters were to ailive there, to advance rapidly in several columns against the rebels. • P I ,!; I. BRAGANZA, FEBRUARY 25. Th.- troops in this city have not listened to the rebels ; on the contrary, their correspondence was in terrupted, and the troops displayed the greatest en thusiasm for the Constitution and the king. • Accounts from Villa de Basto and l'ennafiel, of the 9.6 th of February, state the people to be perfectly tran quil, and devoted to the Constitution. LISBON, 111.1RCII S. By the last news fr urn Oporto, it is confirmed that the garrison of Chaves joined the infamous Count d'Amarante, with the exception of some officers, and that he threatened to aJvauce to the Minho, his van guard having advanced to Pinheiro, four leagues from• Chaves, which shews the folly of his threats, especially as the garrison of Braganza is firm, as was to be expected from the character of the officers and men.—lt is also certain that General Rego had gone, with the forces under his immediate command, to Car valho d'Este, and was proceeding with the greatest rapidity. To encounter the factious column of Brigadier Manoel Luiz Correa, which was reinforced with a regiment and two pieces of artillery, was pro ceeding from Amarante, and had reached Villa Real. All the troops and the honourable inhabitants of Oporto shewed the greatest enthusiasm for the sacred cause in which we are engaged. It was also known that Major-General Gaspar Teixeira, having arrived at Villa Ponea de Aguiarr had rebelled and joined the factious ; and, shewing himself no less infamous than the Conde d'Amarante, had written to the General of Oporto and others, who treated his letters with merited - contempt. Ile had the impudence to sign himself Second in Command of the Regenerating 'Army ; which cannot consist ofl above 700 men, of which at most 260 are infantry. Dutch and Flemish Papers of a late date have reached us, but they contain little intelligence of im portance. An article from Vienna, dated March 6, states that Sir R.GORDON, who acts as British Envoy at that Court, till the arrival of Sir HENRY WELLES LEY, has delivered to his Serene Highness Prince MET TERNICH a Note of the greatest importance, in which it is affirmed that the British Government invites Austria to co-ope,rate with it, in order, by new nego tiations, to obtain the preservation of peace in the South of Europe. It is further stated, that among other reforms, a considerable !eduction of the Austrian army is to take place, and that it has alieady commenced. A fleet, fitted out at Toulon, is said to be ready to sail as soon as v. ar is declared, in order to blockade the Spanish ports in the Mediteranean. Accounts from Cambray state, that all the troops which are on their way to Spain have received or ders, by express, to hasten their march. Several more regiments have also received orders to proceed tothc South, and many Officers on half-pay are placed on active service. It is stated in an article from the Banks of the Danube, dated March 4th, that there is little doubt of the differences between Russia and the Porte being adjusted in an amicable manner, since "the Emperor ALEXANDER declared at Vienna that the present state of European policy makes it necessary to avoid a war in the East of Europe, that the Powers may be able to turn their undivided attention to the West." Even should the Turkish Government not agree to all the proposals made to it for establishing the ancient friendly relations . betweep the two Empires, recourse will not be had to arms. M. TATISCHEFF is shortly to leave Vienna for the Bosphorus, as the new Russian Ambassador. The negociations renewed with the Porte, are entirely confined to the adjustment of the differences with Russia. At Vienna, as every where else, attention is directed to the Pyrenees, where , the great question must be decided, what system of policy is to predominate in Europe? It is believed that the decision of the question, whether war shall be carried on against Spain or not, depends on the result of the negociations which are at present carry ing on at St. Petersburg!' by Sir Cultta's BAooi."

On the 16th ult,a tremendous volcano poured Cott% stones and lava from a mountain abOut two hundred milei from this city : five thousand natives were In. lied by the stones and ashes, and SCO burnt. We are glad to see the daily accessions which the cause of neutrality is gaining from the ranks even of those who seemed at first most disposed to advocate an opposite line of policy. Still, however, is the on. holy cry of war kept up by an interested factiert amongst us, who unblushingly avow that it is their object to excite such a degree of popular clamour as may "force" Ministers into a war against Fiance.., We call them an interested faction, for sse cannot suppose that persons differing honour ably and sin.. cerely on a question of national importance, would cbuse to support it by such mean , . Is it by po. pular clamour that any man of sense or into. silty would wish to see the justice or policy of a war determined ? Why is the power of declaring war vested by our Constitution in the Soveieign, if it be not that with the aid of his Ministers, and with the lights which he derives from the executive admi. nistration of our foreign relations, he is better enabled than the people themselves can eve* possibly be, to decide when war is necessary or prudent ? We are ass are of the right which the people have to ex:slana. nations ; but it is a right which can never coostito. tionally come into operation till the time for reasen ' able confidence in the Government has past—till the people are called upon to supply the means for carry. ing on a war that may have been resolved on, or to remain quiet under what they may imagine to be a sacrifice of the national interests cr honour. —We say, that the time for such confidence at the present crisis is not past; that the Public ought to wait without uneasiness for that ample informaticat which Ministers have promised to lay before them es won as all hope is extinct 'of preserving the peace of Europe ; and that he acts factiously, wickedly, and unconstitutionally,who endeavours to precipitate a con. elusion on a matter which is not yet ripe for decision. In the opinions which sire have ourselves offered co the subject, our only aim has been to keep the ques. tion fairly open for final judgment. We have laid it down as an invulnerable position, that to preserve peace as long. as it can possibly be preserved with honour, is the interest of this country ; and we have maintained, and still maintain, that to the public eye nothing has yet appeared to justify the least apis hension that our honour has been tarnished by the endeavours which Government must be supposed te have made to avert the evils of war. The resolution of th e Di rectors o f the Bank (1 England, announced on Friday, to give only a divi• dead of four per cent. when they have usually give five, has excited much attention. Of course this 4 be attended with a considerable falling off in the pre fits of the holders of Bank S:ock ; but we are NI aware that it can be looked on as injurious to the Public at large, or as the slightest indication of a dimi. nishing national prosperity. If, indeed, the diming. tion in the profits of the Bank were p proof of a general sinking of the rate of profit en the country, we should hold the declaration .on Friday to be a indication of national decay.. But the Bank of Ent land is a close monopoly, the prosperity of whott concerns has only a very remote connection with I* 4 tional prosperity. In the long run, indeed, as the quantity of business which it has to transact, and consequently the extent of its profit must depend on the general increase of the national resources, it certainly could not prosper if the nation were going to decay. —The chief cause, we have no doubt, of the resat decline in the Dividends of the Bank, is the g reet expense to which that Corporation has recently heel subjected, to supply the country with a bullion is. stead of a paper currency. Supposing the amoal of gold and silver coin in circulation to amount N 20,000,0001. the annual expen , of when profit is at 10 per cent. able miter in the Supplenr - ent ianzzica, at 1,200,0001. per ever, at present, the rate of cent. and the expense of keep culation to have been 200,0001. find that the Bank, by being notes in specie, must incur a • tional expense. We cannot may be, because thewholeoftht ing up a bullion than a pay fall to be defrayed by - the particularly that caused by bullion cut rency, would be so i annual profits of that Corporatioi On subjects of this nature sider to be some very unfortui our coteniporaries and the , of the National Securities. fc being, as is usually supposed, tional prosperity.
