He would either advance on San Ramon and Cervera,' dispersing the banditti he Might meet in his way; or he would ascend the Segre to the Seo d'urgel. But he cannot effect the latter movement so as to make it produce decisive advantages without first occupy ing Balaguer—an operation' which would take up some days, asthat town is surrounded by strong walls. Tamable General Mina to 'act freely, he - inust rein force Manresa by the ttoOlis.lately 'arrived at Barce lona from Andalusia. We believe that the troops which entered the province of Tarragona from lencia were to march- towards Lerida, in order to forth Mina's rear-guard. As the junction of Quesada with the Insurgents of Catalonia is certain, Colonel Tabuenca and the COM. mandant Garcia will also have to enter that province. Their union will produce a sufficient force to clear away the bands of the Army of the Faith. What is most indispensable is to leave General Mina every latitude, and to display energy and'activity in the four military divisions which are the theatre of the operations. Thus tranquillity and good Ender will soon be restored.—Espeaador. General William Pepe arrived at Madrid on the 16th, from England, by the way of Portugal. He experienced the same reception as on his first visit to this capital. Several changes have been made among the Political Chiefs. The French frigate l'Antigone arrived on the 4th at Cadiz, from the Havannah.— She brihgs considerable sums in money, and valuable produce for the Spanish Government and the mer chants of Cadiz.

CLA.NWILLIAM, Lord SOMERSET ' , Colonel CATIICA nr, and Dr. Humk, arrived at Stras burg on the 2:3th ult. on his way to Vienna. Among the great personages about to repair to the Congress of Verona, the German Papers mention the Archduchess MARIA LOUISA, Duchess of Parma. As a specimen of the value of the French Dews, it will be enough to mention that the Pilate gravely assures its readers that Mr. CANNING intends, next Session, to propose the separation of Ireland from England, and the re-establishment of the old Irish Parliament: it adds, that all the sensible politicians of Great Britain approve of a measure ro calculated to restore the tranquillity of Ireland. Mr. CANNING, we imagine, will be somewhat surprised at the task assigned to him :we may venture to assert for him. that this is the first time. he ever heard of such a project. A Journal gives an extract of a letter from Par thenay, dated the 2&th September, which has the fol• lOwing news:—" MOREA u, one of the persons in con tumacy in the trial of Poitiers, ha, shewn himself at Niort the last week. There was too much precipita tion ip the attempt to arrest him, and he was missed.l In the house where he was were found a great num ber of eagles.

This forenoon we received Bayonne Papers to the 27th ult. with intelligence from Madrid to the 20th. The following ate extracts: BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER es. We have nothing new from the neighbouring pro vinces. The defection of the bands continues, in con-, sequence of the rapid movements of the Constitu tional columns in various directions. Sixty men, be longing to the bands of Urango and ZAbala, arrived yesterday in the port of Socoa, in France, flying from their own country on board of untie boats, which they ran ashore on the coast. The Constitutional troops occupy at this time the whole coast from Fon tarabia to Balboa, so that it will not be easy for the factious to escape. The forty men who came to the Lazaretto, having belonged to these same bands, after having staid two days at Bayonne, left it to go to bati, in order to take up arms again. We need not state, that they received from the Committee of Equia the assistance necessary for this journey. It is-to be hoped that we shall see them return by way of Svcoa,' for there are among the number some who have made this tour more 'than once. We . are still without positive information respect ing the operations of General Espinosa: we - only know that he is still in Abe valley of Roncal, prepar ing for the siege of Irati, which is not likely to give These Papers contain several articles of contradic tory intelligence relative to Spain.—The following are extracts : PARIS; OCTOBER 1. The Journal des Dcbats gives the following news from the frontiers of Spain : L'E.cho du Midi has published the following let ter, which chews what was the issue of the move ment of the army of Mina on Seo d'llrgel: SEM 20, ILLY-PAST EIGHT 171111 X MORNING • I have only time to tell you, that at this moment the official report has arrived of the victory gained by our General-in-Chief, Baron d'Erolles, over the division of Tabuenca, consisting of 4000 men, between the bridge of hlontagnana and Benavarre, or on the frontiers of Catalonia and Arragon. 4 The battle began at six o'clock in the morning, and ended at three o'clock in the afternoon of the lath; the result was, the complete defeat of the Constitutionalists. Tabuenca, and the principal Officers of his division are made prisoners; all his Ira lery, baggage, arms, colours, &c. are in our possession, and all his soldiers have been killed, wounded, or made prisoners. • The enemy's force consisted of three regiments of infantry, el?. the Toledo, Estramadura, Jaen, &c.

Others pretend that General Pio will have a Command in Catalonia, but this too Weald be against the Constitution, which declares that no fo reigner can have a chief command in the naked army. At all events his return is sopposedlireilest some political object. " The proceedings of the Provisional Government at Urgel, the congress at Verona, and the prepara tions making in the French fortresses on the Pyres/mar excite great attention. The fears of a foreign invi-1 ant increase so much, that in • political meetings we already hear people speak of ptans of defence, of al liances with Portugal and even with England, to which all kinds of concessions would be made. " It seems, in fact, more than probable that the. Treaty with Portugal will soon be concluded, and on the other hand, very great hopes are built on the aid of Great Britain in case of foreign invasion." The Spat/dor of the 19th contains some very sen ,sible reflections on the alarming reports which at , present circulate in the Capital : it is to be observed that this Paper is at present the organ of the Ministry. al The reports of a foreign invasion, which some friends to desmtiinx Agreed jn thit : Capital, have elarnied . some Liberals who. fear • that the fate of Spain will lie decided at the -Congress at Verona. ..The former are steryloolish,:and the latter are uneasy with little reason. . • , .. ,~ ._ .... .. 1 ' 14 ' Tito Congress .f Verona will not be like ibit •Lafliach, for 'though the other clouds which obsct the political horizon permit it to be held, there will •be no perjured King to go to the forge of Vulcan to' ask chains and fetters for his - honest subjects,without their having committed any crime but that of having asked, with all the respect due to the majesty of the throne, the enjoyment of their imprescriptible rights. The Congress of Verona will not treat the Spaniards with the contempt which was, shewn towards the Neapolitans by that at Laybach ; the case here is very. different; Naples was at the commencement of its political regeneration, and had but few resources to continue it. if obstacles are thrown in the wa? Revolutions cannot be sustained but by firmness, heroism, and, above all, by sacrifices. There were few individuals in that nation who had IV/3011 to fear for their lives if a le-action took place. "The vices contracted in our education, founded on the unpromising principles of feudality and slavery, the effeminacy and luxury prevailing in a happy cli mate and fruitful soil, where even factitious wants may be easily supplied, enervate the mind, and attach man too much to the earth for him, to display that heroism which is requisite in following the career of liberty. The Diplomatists at Laybach were sensible of these truths, and acted upon them, supported by an artful intrigue, which was favoured by treachety and executed tyrannically: they overthrew liberty in that beautiful part of Italy. The rapid victories of the Austrians in Naples paralysed the efforts of the brave Piedmontese, so that the whole Peninsula remained under a foreign yoke. Unhappy Italy, thou de servedst a better fate I Thou wilt yet obtain it —the light of the age cannot retrograde." The writer then proceeds to sliew the small'ad vantage that the Holy Alliance would be likely to reap from an attack on Spain, and the disadvantages which would almost inevitably accrue to them.from it, which he chews infinitely to preponderate. He then examines the ♦arious pretexts, which might be alleged for such an enterprise, the futility of which he ex poses at length. The accounts from the interior' are not quite so satisfactory, as, by the last mails, Zaldivar has again disturbed the tranquillity of the province of Cadiz, where the troops were preparing for a fresh expedi tion. A pamphlet has been published, on the neces sity of appointing a Provisional Regency." A Dutch Mail reached us this morning, bringing Papers to the 2d inst. The following are extracts : BRUSSELS, SEPTEMBER n. Private letters from Spain say, that that kingdom assumes a formidable military attitude, and that .a very great military force will soon be at the disposal of the Government. The idea of a foreign invasion has had an evident influence on the - minds of the people, and many Spaniards, who are not devoted to the prevailing party, express their firm retolaticia to resist all foreign interference in their affairs.' - SANTE, AUGUST 24.

These letters* farther tire as reports, that the Suliots had retaken their capitil, and alio that a naval action had taken place off Petrel, in which the Tuiks lost two frigates and one brig. The letter adds that this wants confirmation, but the position Of the two Beets, as mentioned in the Corfu intelligence, renders the account more than probable. _ There are some individuals to whom the post of honour is not a private station ; this is particularly the case with the family of the Ws.t.Lastays, whose ic aspiring blood" is not contented with the highest offices of state, but they must continually remind the Public how much it is indebted to them for their services. That those services are considerable, every person must admit, but that they have been liberally rewarded must be acknowledged. Within 4 few years we have seen one member of it rewarded with the highest honours the SOVEREIGN ,cvi bestow ; 'another honoured with the second rank in the Peerage, and the two posts of the greatest confidence and im portance, those of Governor• General of India and Viceroy of Ireland; a third, for what services Gozoi 'Only-km*li, has been raised to the Peerage, and he Nett ispires to be sent out to India, in the same ca pecityAs his more. able brother; a fourth has had oee of the most lucrative and honourable foreign Etnbassies ; and the rest of the family are, we be lieve, all in the way of preferment in the Church. This, one might think, would be sufficient to gratify the most ambitious family in the world, without their perpetually eulogizing one another, and fishing for individual praise, or egotistically boasting of their own services. A singular instance of the latter occurred at the late LORD MAYOR'S dinner in Dublin, which we are happy to find was not nfaiked by that party spirit which has so long degraded every Public Meeting or Dinner in Ireland. The dinner was honoured with the presence of Marquis WELpESLEY, who, in re turning thanks after his health was drank, is reported to have said, " I have witnessed calamity amongst you, and have, thank 1-Italian, happily succeeded in steering you through it r If his Excellency had been a little more explicit, he would not have left us in doubt as to his meaning. If the late famine is in tended by the calamity, while we acknowledge that the Irish have been steered through it, we can give little praise to the LORD LIEUTENANT. He arrived in Ireland at a time when famine as -well as outrages pervaded many provinces ; but, while the latter were marshalled in formidable array, and. pre sented to Government as a foundation for asking for new laws, or rather a suspension of the laws, not one word was said respecting famine, which was carefully concealed-until it had increased in force by suppres sion, and then burst upon us like a volcaUic eruption. But even when the dread secret was no longer hid, was the LORD LIEUTENANT of IRELAND, Or even the Irish nation, the first to afford relief?. Certainly not ; nor was it until the generous British Public - had, with a liberality unparalleled in any other country, come forward to the relief of the famishing peasantry of the Sister Island, that a subscription was com menced in Dublin ; and the only praise to which the Marquis of WEI.LESLEY can lay claim—and this we wish not to withhold from him—is an active and careful distribution of the funds supplied to him by the noble munificence of this nation, or reluctantly 1 1 wrung from his MAJESTY'S Ministers. We do not blame the LORD LIEUTENANT for not working Mi -1 racles; no line of policy which he could adopt would have steered the - Irish peasantry through 'the calamity of famine, but that of supplying them food until a new and productive crop has, for the present, tendered all further support unnecessary. There is, however, another calamity which the Marquis WELLESLEY has witnessed in Ireland—one that cametmore immediately in the way of his autho rity, and through which he has not steered Ireland— that is, a continued system of murder and plunder. In this state he found Ireland, and, without trying any other, measure, at once demanded increased power, the enactment of the Insurrection Act, which placed the lives and liberties of every person at the mercy of the Irish Magistrates, and the suspen sioe'-of the Habeas Corpus Act—a measure un called for, as it has not been resorted to, except, we believe, in one instance, and that for an offence which certainly was not contemplated. We allude to the arrest of a foreigner, a; Belfast, ior giving Lec tures. which were considered to savour of infidelity. What, therefore, the Marquis WELLESLEY has done in particular to entitle him so ostentatiously to boast Of his tereices, we are at a loss to discover : than is, however, no doubt s something in it & 44.. if phi losophy could find It out .
