SITEDEN. •MMI••• .: • - IXTRACT Of A Jerrie* PROM srocnnot.at, JULY 24. 44 The bustle which chit capital has been thrown into, in consequence of the marriage of Oscar with Beauharnois' daughter, appears now at an end, and there is some kind of tranquillity in the place. You would have an account of the parade on the occasion —the fetes, reviews, balls, and entertainments. Oscar and his bride ride about daily. He is not unlike a Spaniard, from his sallow complexion, black hair, and mustachios. She is a pretty little woman, fair, and beautiful eye-brows. The fortune she has brought the Prince does not, it is said, exceed fifty thou , sand pounds. Oscar also rides often about with his guards, and accompanied by . General Bloomfield, who was yesterday, in an artillery uniform. This Minister, who is a great favourite with the King as well as the Prince, is frequently riding about with his Majesty, and receives marked attention. When he was - to present his credentials, the King sent his ' state carriage and six white horses to bring him to Court. The coach is exactly like the antique vehicle of the Lord Mayor of London, lined with rich blue velvet and studded with stars, He had also one of the principal seats in the cathedral at the mar riage. The Minister lives in Duottengatan or Queen street, which is the Bond Street here; and is most affable to all ranks, summiting his situation with proper dignity, and .-shewing great hospitality to any of the British who are properly. recommended to him. There are several Gendanien attliChed offi cially to him. " The Diet is still sitting, and their deliberations, it is supposed, will be closed in about a month. This place is never open to any person, however elevated his rank. The speeches are written, and their sub stance given in papers. There are a few English travellers dropping in upon us, but they are by no means in such flocks as over France and Italy. Mr. Rae Wilson and Sir Frederick Henniker, who published their travels in the East, now translating into the Swedish language, Sir Robert Miller, Mr. Wilbraham, son of the Member for Do ver, Mr. Boroughs, and a few others, are here, and have been all introduced to the King, and most kindly received at the table of General Bloomfield. " There are no Levees held here as at the British Court. The etiquette is, for the English to write to the Prime Minister, expressing a wish to introduce a British subject, which is laid before the King, and if it meets with his approbation, this is conveyed to the British Minister, with the hour appointed for that purpose. Some English Gentlemen have been known to wait a month till an answer was received. The English are always received with great respect by the King, and there appears a peculiar attachment to that nation on the part of the Swedes. 44 If the country was better known for its facility in travelling, as well as its cheapness, the charge being only ene penny for posting a mile, and two-pence to drivers for six miles, and not a single turnpike, and its charming scenery, lakes, &c. numbers - would pre fer travelling here even to Switzerland and other parts. There is a want of inns in Stockholm; and the few there are take advantage of their monopoly to charge most enormously. " The steam-boat from this to Obo is given up, but neat packets sail between the places. One Owen has established steam boats between this and Arboga and Vesteras, &c. " The weather is warm—thermometer of Fahren heit about 65. The greatest height has been, parti cularly last month, 72." BRAZIL. A Brazil Mail has arrived, bringing letters from Bahia of the 23d of June, at which time there was every prospect of' an immediate abandonment of the place by the Portuguese troops. Lima, the Brazilian General before Bahia, had issued a Proclamation pointing out to the European , troops the hopelessness of their situation. 41 Attend," says he, 64 to what we offer you in the name of our incomparable Emperor, if you desist from the frantic enterprise in which your wicked Ministry have engaged you ; if you lay down your arms, we will embrace you as brothers ; we are willing to share with you our immense lands; but if, from - love of country, you wish to embark, we will assist you in that object, and thus prove to all the world, that the acts of injustice which the melan choly circumstances of a fatal epoch have compelled you to commit, have left in our minds no odious and vindictive passions. To you, Europeans, who are in habitants of Bahia, we also promise to guarantee your property and your personal safety against any risk on account of differences of opinion." In consequence of this offer, a deputation of the principal citizens had waited on him to form ar rangents for the effectual security of persons and propel on this occasion. This conference had been permitted by Madeira, the Portuguese General, who had issued passports to enable them to pass the lines, but who declared at the same time, that neither he nor his troops would enter into any convention with the Brazilians: the inhabitants of Bahia must make the best terms they were able for their own safety. The 25th bad been fixed on as the period for the embarkation of the Portuguese troops, though it was expected that all the arrangements would not be completed so early : the g r ea ter )ea part of the stock of provisions, however, had placed on board the transports. He was still, however, in want of one vessel for the conveyance of 200 men, and he had made proposals to the owner of an English ship to receive them on board ; but his terms, consisting of bills on the n Treasury, had not been accepted. —Madeiras i ref apprehension - seems to have been how to dude, when on the voyage to Portugal, our enterprising countryman, Lord Cochrane, who was at sea with part of the squadron equipped at Rio, and who bad determined, if possible. at whatever risk, to make prize of the ships of war. A report was current, that he had been applied to. to permit an unmolested passage, but which be was only willing to allow as regarded the transports.. Those his Lord- ship would suffer to pass, but his fleet had been equipped for the purpose of capturing the ships of war, and they must depend on their own exertions for safety. Lord Cochrane had not been heard of for a few days previous to the sailing of the packet. He made, about the 14th, a daring attempt to cut out the prin cipal Portuguese ship from the harbour of Bahia, in the face of the whole squadron, and within gun-shot ,of the batteries, but was preventbd by a sudden' change of wind. Much inquietude existed among e b&tbitants of .Bahia re tingthe approaching entry of the Brazaian.troops—a class of soldiers ill clisciplined, and not -likely, without severe restraint, to respect either person or property. Sr T. Hardy was at Bahia for the protection of the English interests. There is a report my -torrent at Bahia, that the schooner John and Thaw (Yowle), which sailed from thence, the 80th ult. had been captured by the Brazilian squadron, for a violation of the blockade, and sent to Rio Janeiro for judgment. • THE EVENING STAR.

The accounts which-we have received to-day, by our Express from Paris, are of the very highest im portance. The war seems at length to be on the point of termination. The submission of BALLAITZ• nos is stated to have been followed by the liberation of the KING, the embarkation of the Cortes (probably for England), and the cessation of hostilities before Cadiz. The gallant MINA and his Lieutenants alone remain to uphold the war of independente; but even in Catalonia the spirit of defection has begun to dis play itself. The celebrated Chieftain, MANSo, has gone over to the enemy. We hasten to lay before our Readers the details of these important events : !ROM THE DIONITEUROFFICIAL PART. TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

" A letter . from Madrid. under date of the 10th instant, announces that intelligence had been received of the liberation of the King ; that the Cortes had embarked, and that hostilities had ceased before Cadiz. " The courier from Madrid positively assures us, that when this news was made public, there were re joicings in that capital. " The Director of the Posts in Madrid announces the same event, but I have not received anything official on the subject. A letter from Corunna of the Slst ult. states that QUIROCIA and the Governor had embarked for England. " N.B.

" LA CASOII3II4 Avo. 1. M Moamar:ma—Agreeably to the instructions whichhe had receivedfrom his Royal Highness, Lieut. Genet al Count Molitor, ' of the 2d Corps, has concluded with General Ballaateros a Convention, in virtue of which that Genecal and his troops recognise the anthoelv of the Regaocy. He has given orders to the Governor! of Cattiagena, Alicant, Pampeluna, St. qehas‘ian, Pessaicok, Las- Penas-de San-Pedro, Monsen, Vaaosque (the two last bad already submitted), also to recognise it. Provi sional cantonments have been assignid by General ...or for the troops of General Ballasteros, Which still amount to 7000 veterans ; they occupy Quesada, Cazorla, Abeda, Alpruiejo, Loca, Lucene, and Archidons. " General Ballasteros has taken immediate steps to engage General Zaps:, who commands a separate corps on the side of Malaga, to follow his example. It is not doubted that he will do so ; nor can the knowledge of this Convention fall to have the greatest effect at Cadiz and in all places. This important event is the result of the successes obtained by the led corps of the army, and too much praise cannot be given to the canner in Which General Molitor has conducted both bis military operations and his nego tiations with General Ballasteros.

He has surrendered to Marshal the Duke de Coraegliano, with a squadron of 150 men. Tarragona has not yet surrendered, as was rumoured, but everything announces that it will soon be in our power. General Dosnadieu is at Gerona._ He re- signs his command to la Roche-Aymon." Count de CASTRO DR URDIALLES, JULY 28. A whole company of the Regiment of Seville, with its Captain, Lieutenant, and Sub• Lieutenant, have deserted, with arms and baggage, from the forts of Santona. They were received by the French troops with cries of Five le Roil These brave grenadiers demanded to be employed in the blockade. In con sequence they occupy, with the third company of the 17th line, one of the points which surround the place. TAKING OP CALM —A Report from Baron D'Eroles to Marshal Moncey, dated Calaf, July 25, details the particulars of the attack on that place, and the expulsion of the Constitutionalists. The action was most sanguinary. The whole of the right column of the Constitutionalists is said to have been cut to pieces. More than 200 prisoners were tabs, among whom were 22 officers. MANZANAR2S, AUGUST L This day his Royal Highness the Prince Genera simo made his entry into Manzanares, at eight o'clock in the morning. Monseigneur was com plimented by the Spanish authorities. The houses of the town were decorated with garlands, and the French and Spanish flags. The august voyager was received with the most lively acclamations. Although travelling in the night, the inhabitants .r sh. villages dooogn ho passed, wafted to salute him ; and the young damsels executed dances attended by young Spaniards holding torches. 'The nocturnal dances were also executed a la cam iisesst del Rey, where the head-quarters were. Th:, mati-, ments in the south of Spain, for their auseetliber‘ tor and the French troops, are in perfect *son. MADRID, AUGUST 3. This capital enjoys the most perfect tranquillity. Merino, with 2,500 men, has quitted Estramadura and marched on Avila. We are assured than Ilal lasteros has received orders from the Cones M sas- pend hostilities, and wait the ulterior events at Cadiz ? . We have no news of the health of their les. Our squadron often captures vessels attempting to enter Cadiz. • The whole country bf Niebla recognizeribilm thority of the legitimate Monarch. Count Bourtivout has sent to Seville a Proclamation, announcing to the inhabitants of that city the approach of the Prince PORT ST. MARTZ, JULY 25. The English Government has declared to the Re volutionary Government of Cadiz, that having re fused to listen to the amicable propositions made to it relative to the liberation of the King of Spain, all communications between the two Goviinments must be broken off. Such is the ineelEgm*e . fron, albral• tar. It is added, that the English lukye so well sup ported the garrison and population of Owe, that they have already proclaimed the King' • • great number of gunners and bioniblndiiii that bad been equipped, have been taken and foriseil into a light squadron, to act against the Isle and the Trocadero. The French deploy with great activity, sad we have artillery, bombs, and other 'necessaries of war, continually arriving from Puerto Real and Chiclana. On the 23d the squadron commanded by Admi ral Hamelin captured a merchant ship, which had left a French port, laden with provisions and other effects, destined for Cadiz. Several inhabitants of Cadiz, as well u some of the troops, have arrived 'at Puerto Real,. after incur- ring the most inconceivable risks to escape. . Want of provisions already begins to be felt in Ca diz : bread is very scarce, more from a deficiency of wood to bake it than twos the want of gain; there . is geither oil nor meat, and a dues egg s sell for forty reels. They have given the troops stock-fish sad herb soup, but ao oil. The Xing and the Royal Farah are welt and everything appears to accelerate thiir liberation; for it is well known that the lasi reireeetiatioas of the English Government had considerable erect on the Chiefs and principal agent of the RevolutiOnisti ; they frequently assembled together : many of them provided themselves with parports,' awl eve? ytliir,g indicated that they were prepat ing to save damsel which gives hopes of a speedytermination or he war. MADRID, AUGUST 7. Lieutenant-General Bouick writes that the Frenc!l troops before Corunna are only waking for heavy artillery to commence the bombardment. They are in position before the town. , Hitherto the garrison has Midi ao sortie, A Vrench frigate anti several other vessels of war cruise off Corunna, and blockade . it by sea. CAROLINA; AUGUST c. Ballasteros has written to the principal Members of the Cortes at Cadiz, and that he is answerable than before fifteen days the King will be "set itt liberty. Madrid enjoys the greatest trangOillity: ENVIRONS OF SRU, AUGUST 3. It is said that it is not upon Lerida, but to the camp at Tarragona, that the Constitutional army, commanded by Milan: and Lloberas, is marching, since k has been driven from the position it took by the sortie of Ignalada. It is said the army could not be re-united until it reached Targa, and that it had suffered considerable loss. This defeat has thrown the Governor of the forts of Urgel into despair. He had announced to the garrison, that eight days ago Milan: was near and that he was marching towards Seu, to raise the blockade. We are assured that he assembled the principal officers, and that in the , countil which he held the question was discussed, whether they should hold a parley, not with Romagosa, but with sl , e Colonel commanding the 2d regiment of the French in the environs. A corporal of artillery, who had deserted some days ago, declares, that the garrison is short of ammunition, and that it is impossible it can hold out any timt. The day before yesterday some companies of the corps of Romagosa approached the walls of the forts, and commenced a brisk fusillade, which they con tinued for two hours. The Constitutionalists did not make any sortie, but returned the fire only from be low the walls : two or three Royalists were wounded. CERVERA, JULY sS. - A French Officer, attached to a Spanish battalion, left, on the 4th instant, the blockading army before Pamplona with a detachment of 100 men, under the orders of Vicomte de la Bat the, to repair to Tu dela, where they joined the garrison on the 15th. Oa the next evening, at seven o'clock, they proceeded to attack the partizan Montilla, at Cervera, which he occupied with 80 horse and 500 bad subjects who had joined him. After a fusillade of three hours, the enemy, re pulsed on all points, fled, and took up a position eight leagues from the field of battle. We have not lost a man, but the Constitutionalists had 20 men woanded. Several other minor affairs are recapitulated, in which the Constitutionalists are said to have been defeated. This fkimmoonive received a Lisbon Mail, bringing to . tlieSOth'ult. It appears that the intem petite:nal of the Royalists had led to some excesses in the Northern Provinces, which, it was feared, might produce a re-action. The Portuguese are, therefore, cautioned not to be guilty of any acts which may call far the interference of the Monarchs of the Al liance, who are ey resolved not to allow, in the States of Europe, any germ of public disturbances, and to restore them all to obedience to their legitimate Go ver nmente The followitig are extracts : LISSOM, JULY so. .1111.ftilmitated seal which some persons have de. sired to shear is the cause of Royalty, in some parts of the northern provinces, and especially in Mon corvo, Alyo, Dona Chama, &c. loses a great part of its merit, since from this excess have arisen various disorderly irregularities, which, disturbing the people in their tranquillity, may draw them into the con- yary evil to the tyranny under which they groaned, `namely, anarchy—the consequences of which are Away: fatal. It is not difficult to perceive that by such inconsiderate conduct, not only rigorous mea sures may be used against the authors of the diem-- das, but what would be ,a much greater evil, call in foreign assistance in our country, to appease domestic discord; sinceihe alliance of the Monarchs of Europe is resolved, with Just reason and wise policy, not to allow in the States of Europe, any gam of public , disturbances, and to restore them all to obedience to their legitimate Government* that, all nations may tranquilly enjoy their just riglas o and fulel the duties of social order. . •• • . 4 1 t And when we have had the sublime glory to de. stroy, without foreign aid, a ratios hostile to the throne and the altar, which was united with and made a part of the general faction which has plunged Spain in tuid, shall we give teaks to the Allied Sovereigns to pretend that tranquillity cannot be I completely. restored to our kingdom Withoot *the aid 11 of their troops?
