• .... . . RIEGO AND BALLASTEROS. The French Pape:, contain various accounts of the late unsuccessful enterprise of Riego, who, Whether the was a skilful General or not, appears at least to have been a faithful one—no ordinary recommendation cer tainly, when treachery has become so frequent as scarcely to be considered a crime. The dispatch from General Gualeminot, published in the Mon iteur, and dated Port St. Mao; Feb.ls, says, “ General Ballasteros ready wished to repot* •and engage Riego; it was himself in person, who, in the midst of the tirailleirs, commenced the-4ring which caused the death of the Aid-de-Camp of R' o, as well as of several of his soldiers. A demi•battalion of the latter immediately advanced with them of "Long live Ballasteros r That General and hi - seri:pp:fully expected that their adversaries were iostang l fojciiii them. Ate . arrangement was talked of; they were it Priecedand when the question of conditiOns arose, Riego o ffered to serve as a simple Aid-de-Camplto General 'Billasteros, if the latter would take the chief command, and march against us. Upon this being refused, Riego, who dur ing the conference, had caused the habitation of General Ballasteros to be invested by his troops, declared him a prisoner, with all his St.tff: General Ralanzat, who con trived to escape, rejoined his division, when he sum moned Riego to set General Ballasteros at libel ty, ind to retire himself. Riego, perceiving that his scheme had failed, put himself in march with his troops for Al candete. Such is the account which has been given to Count Molitor, by the Officers of his Staff, who were on the spot, and by two Aides-de-Camp of General Ballas teros, who went to Grenada. Count Molitor achli, that General B4llasteros on this occasion did all that was in his power, especially with troops, many regiments of whom had one battalion ou his side, and another in Riego's corps." • 1 4 I 1 . • , • .4 I I •. r • r' • , 4 * 1 01- ~t 111 MADRID, SEPTEMBER 17. Public attention is almost exclusively fixed upon Riego and liallasteros. Private letters agree in confirm ing the statement that the troops of the former have re inforced with five or six thousand men the corps of the latter, whom nothing has been able to induce to depart from their Constitutional duty since the Convention con cluded by their General. These two divisions are esti mated at nearly 20,000 men, who are determined to operate according as circumstances may hold out to them the best chances of success. Every one relates this occurrence after his own manner: but the most curious account, both in point of style and of the degree of pro bability belonging to it, is unquestionably the following one,circulated by authority : " CASSA, SZETINIPSA 1.1! " Since the 24th of last Month, we have had in this city, as well as in Montilla, Lucena, and Priego, the troops of the Convention of Ballasteros, who are ani mated with the most enthusiastic Constitutional feeling ; it was this that induced Ries(' to march from Malaga with about 4,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, for the purpose of coming in contact. Well, then; yesterday, about nine o'clock in the mm ning, Riego presented him., self with his troops in column in the suburbs of Priego, in front of those of liallasteros, who were in battle array on the Granada road. The division of General Mon zat was on the right of the place called the Calvaire de Priego; the tir:tillenrs began to the, s% hen Itiego de manded a pailey ; llallasteros consented ; the Generals having rtwr, as well as the troops, Ballasteros required that both the one and the other should keep their respec tive positions. The two Generals then came into Priego, lodged, ate, and drank together, and, as Ballasteros would not consent to let his troops go, while these Ge. nerals were at supper, the escort of Riego attacked that of Ballasteros. disarmed it, and made the latter a pri soner in a cabaret of the same house. B:tlanzat, in formed of this circumstance. harangued his troops, and WAS preparing to act against Riego, who, in consequence, ..‘ dried the Commissary who was here to send to lona . jar . the lotions for his division. SOUTH AMERICA. Letters have been received from Lima, dated 28th Apra, at -which time the military preparations were iteArly complete for the campaign against the loyalists. The Peruvian trips in Lima amounted to 5,000 men, . well armed, clothed, and disciplined; and there had ar rived, as auxiliaries, 1,000 men from Buenos Ayres, 1.200 frt•m Chili, and 4,000 Colombians from Guaya quil. The latter v ere veteran troops, and extremely well appointed. General Bolivar, on his arrival, was to take the command of the whole force. The United States Consul at Campeachy, through his representations to the Provincial Assembly of Yuca tan, has obtained a reduction of duty on American ves sels entering the ports of that province, from two dol lars and a half to one dollar. • The Coloantiiano of the 25 . 41 of July, a Paper pub lished in Caraccas, has the following remarks on the probable result to South America of the conquest of Spain by the French troops. The most recent intelli gence then received from Cadiz had led the Editor to conclude the cause of the Constitution lost. He then observes.o We confess that we have all along ex pected this denouement, and now only feel an interest in it as fraught with important results to ourselves. France has unequivocally and frequently declared, that the tams of her co-operation in aiding Spain to subdue us, iiie the modification of her Constitution. The French Minister caused this intimation to be conveyed to the Spanish Cabinet, and the Duke of Angouleme echoed it in his Proclamation to his Army. England has as unequivocally declared that she will not offer it, neither, we imagine, will North America. The moment of making good these pledges is probably at hand, and we anticipate more good than evil from its arrival. ' There are various considerations, however, to restrain France from such a procedure. In the first place, her conquest over Spain is not yet achieved : at the extremity of an enemy's country, and cut off from her own by strong fortresses and enemies in her rear, with want of provisions all around, many reverses may yet await the French army, unless a strong naval force off Cadiz protects it : in the second place, the policy of the measure rather than the pledge she has given, will snake her oar enemy, as the modification of the spanisb Constitution is now the result of conquest, rather than negotiation: thirdly, some little deference will be paid to the positive and uncalled-for declaration already made by England to the French Cabinet, on the sub ject of an interference in South American affairs ; but,. above all, the folly, the weakness of aiding in a bank rupt cause, will restrain France • since she must know , from the expe r ie nce o f t he last t hirteen years, that Co: lombia never will submit to foreign government, while amain remains to defend her. It is impossible to con jecture die result of the presect situation of Spain with regard to us, but k is unquestienable that a cri.is if at band, which must terminatein a general recosnition of the Independent States of South A merica, or in such a collision of interests in Europe, as will afire us far more powerful (rinds than enemies: UFFICE of THE MORNING CHRONICLE, N 0.4.

On the 6th, the in,tallation of the Es traordinary Cortes took place, at six o'clock. They as sembled to hear the King's Speech; but his Majesty in formed them that their notice was too late, and that he had not had tiro; to prepare it. A short Speech was ,ead, written by the King, in which were the following words:--" Although I made every effart, I could not obtain an honourable peace; because the enemy were 'bstin.ite, and would not tre.ct but with me alone, and when I was set at liberty." GABann spoke on the opening of the Session of the 7th, saying that Government had attempted in vain to obtain a suspension of arms; and that their efforts also did not succeed to obtain the mediation of England, and this French would listen to nothing before the King and Royal Fatly and the Isle of Leon were put in their power.

" Three columns of the enemy, in number 6,000 men. infantry, and 100 horse, with ten pieces of cannon, came from Barcelona on the 12th September, at half-past five o'Llock in the morning, marching against the left of the line of investment. The first column followed the sea- side ; the second marched on Olot ; and the third on the part of the line between Gracia and Casa Donna. The third column, much more considerable than the two others, directed its principal efforts against La Casa Nova, La Casa Milaus, and La Casa Donna. " General Peccadein immediately ordered the reserver to march. The enemy, attacked by these troops, and with the fire of our artillery, was forced to retreat. We lost one Officer, one soldier was killed, and 17 wounded. Ac cording to reports the enemy had 200 killed. (Signed) " MONCEY."

The Moniteur contains no other official article. In the nonofficial part is the following paragraph : A telegraphic dispatch announces that the malady at Passages has sensibly diminished ; the sick have been carefully separated from the rest of the inhabitants. We have received accounts from Bayonne to the 21st inst. by which it would appear that the fever at Pas sages, which : had seemed to abate for two days, has broken out More terrible than ever, and that a request has been forwarded to Paris, by telegraph, for three physicians for this dangerous service. A party of the 52d regiment, ordered to Spain, are said to have refused to quit France. Letters from before Cadiz state, that in consequence of some tumult in that city on the 7th and Bth, eighteen persons were arrested and shot, including a General, the Colonels of two regiments, and two Members of the Camarillo. After this execution, the soldiers ran about the streets, cry ing 4"lhe Constitution or Death ;" and went even under the windows of the KING, whom they insulted, saying. that he was the first cause of the treason. Their aoembling about the Palace might have been alarming, had not the militia cf Madrid and Cadiz surrounded it, to protect it. A few musket shots, fired a propos on the most riotous, sufficed to restore order on the 9th. General ALA.vo was sent to the Duke of ANGOULEMS, to . say that all proposals would be henceforward useless; and lie communicated to him the list of the prisoners who had been executed after the discovery of the con- spiracy. On this communication from General ALAVA, the attack on the hle of Leon was resolved upon. Brussels Papers to the 26th inst. reached us this morn ing. It is stated in an article from Constantinople, dated the 25th of August, that a great sensation had been created in that ca . )ital, by the dismissal of IY.ScitA • NICII Evrexot, from the office of Marshal of the Em pile. As this Minister was unfavourable to peace with Russia, his dismissal is considered as a good omen of the speedy renewal of the relations being reneweJ tween tiie Porte and the European Powers. The treaty of peace between Persia and the Porte had not been made public, but it is said the statu quo, is taken as the basis, so that the conquests on both sides will be given up, and the ancient frontiers re-established. In one of the Brussels Papers, them is a sensible letter from Mairid, giving what we believe is a true picture of the distracted state of Spain, which will neither be tranquillized by French bayonets nor by the intolerant proclamations or odious proscriptions of the Regency• The following are extracts: BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER t 3. We have seen a letter from Wild, of the Bth of this month, written by a foreigner now in that city, which says.—.. It is difficult to form a just idea of the state of this unfortunate country; all industry is destroyed; the distress of the people is extreme. The raising of tbe' taxes is become almost impossible. On the other hand, the parties which divided the Spaniards have cartied hatred and disunion into the bosoms of a multitude of families. if the restoration of absolute power should be attempted, Spain will never be pacified ; and yet there is a party blind enough loudly to demand institutions which an enlightened age has justly condemned. gi The French Generals behave with great prudence, they make the troops under their command observe the strictest discipline, but it is not always in their power to prevent excesses." VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 14. His Imperial Highness the Archduke Rudolph, Car dinal Archbishop of Olmutk, set out the day before yesterday for Cremsier, in order to receive the E m p eror *is brother, as he passes through, on his way to Czer nowitz. Prince hietternitch does not set out till the 16th. It is thought that the interview of the two So vereigns will continue only six days, and consequently that the Emperor will be back heie on the 24th. A Morning Paper gives a Proclamation relating to some supposed designs on the part of France against South America, said to have been issued by the Cadiz Government. The idea of Praline, which scarcely has Princes to secure the dynasty on the throne, sending an Emperor or a King to Mexico is so ridiculous, that we almost doubt the authenticity of the docureent, which asserts that French agents have been sent to St. John de Ulloa, 41 in order to s ed uce the Mexicans, and to ascertain whether they are disposed to receive, as their Emperor or King, one of the Boom/ass of the reigning House in France; the result of which the said emissaries are in structed to communicate to their Ministry by two fri. gates,which are to go at a seasonable time to Vera Cruz; his Most Christian Maim authorising them to enter into such treaties of commerce as they may deem fit, in case the first object cannot be attained."

On the whole, there is reason to be, lieve, that the intended operations of the Turks against the lime* have been impeded by various obstacles, ai e d hitherto baffled: The insurrection of the mountaineers Southern Thessaly, especially in thedistrict of Agra and the effective support which various co r p s of insay., gents from the Peninsula afford them, give the Turki e t e troops far too much employment on that side of the Isthmus of Corinth for them to attempt to pass it, a n d the Captain Pacha, whose fleet seemed chiefly destined to assist and protect them in passing, continues inacti ve off Patras and Missolunghi. In Negropont and theGalf of Volo, the Turkish commanders have lately driven th e insurgents from the positions they hitherto occupied, au advantage on which the Ministers of the Porte seem to see a great value. On the other hand, they are said to have sustained a serious loss near Salona. All these partial combats lead to no result, and, if this campaign is not distingvished by other events, the state of things, consi dered in a military point of view, is likely to remain a long time problematical."

The Hizald, colonial brig (Lieutenant MAYNARD of the Andromache), was refitting at Purt St. Louis ; and the Eliza, another' colonial vessel, has been wrecked en the coast of the island. The whale fishery had commenced with gieat success. The Andromache and, Delight were expected to sail immediately to Pembatucko, Isle of Madagascar, to gain an interview with King RADAMA, who hal married one of his sons to a Chieftain's daughter on the western side of the island ; and it is considered a politic step, as no doubt is entettained that this union will ultimately secure to RADAMA'S family the so. vereignty of the whole island.
