t r istrate their object. gi The country," say these let ters, is full of defiles, having no communication w ith each other: the mountains are still overed with snow, and we labour under great difficulties to pro. cure forage and provisions; but the soldiers are ani mated with a degree of ardour which increases in proportion co obstacles and privations.' The Et vile has another piece of intelligence less questionable, perhaps, than its account of MINA'S h o peless situation." We are assured," it says," that segoe ia has sent in its submission, and that St. A nde to and St. Antona have fallen into the power of the Am y of the Faith." Segovia is indeed a long way in advance of Burgos, where the latest official ac counts leave the most forward division of the French * my, that under the Duke of R EGG 10. It is not said, h ow ever, as a respectable contemporary of this morn ing has inadvertently assumed, that the French have ho d Segovia—but merely that Segovia has sent in its su bmission.—Now as the permitted advance of t h e en emy to Nlachid has always been understood to form an important part of the Spanish scheme of de fence, the voluntary submission of Segovia, or any other town on the line of march to the capital, need sot at all surprise us. THE LATEST ACCOUNTS. FROM L . ETOILE OF TUESDAY EVENING. BAYONNE, APRIL c 7. The RoyaliA troops have attacked Santona. The real appeared as if disposed to defend the place, v!:ich the Pastor with his band had thrown hi rnsell into. Coibtitutionalists advanced, when the Prince 4uected some French troops to march on this point, •sho attacked the rebels, and defeated them. The Constitutional prisoners taken at Bilboa are de:line:l in the prisons of Tolosa. An estafette which left Burgos on :he 23d, an zinces that the advanced guard of the First Corps •is at Lerma, and that the Marshal expected to be a. Valladolid in three days. Accounts from Paris mention a negociation be men France and Spain as probable. It is said, slut the Cortes have decided on transfer ring the Government to Cadiz. PERPIGN AN, APRIL 26. A battalion of the Royalists of Catalonia, com manded by 11losen Antonen Coll, is marching on I,'a! on d'Eroles has his bead-quarters at Asigonet, a silage situated on an eminence, within lalf a league of Figueras. VITTORIA, APRIL W. Ballasteros has precipitately retired on Valencia, a►thout defending the fort of Alcaniz, which is in OUT power. Marshal Nloncey and General Molitor have made a movement on the flank and rear of Mina. LLI VIA, APRIL SS. Paul Mirales, after leaving a weak garrison at Sol sou, has marched on Oliana, and is at this time at' Orgagna, where he demanded 2000 rations. It is said he will approach Seo in order to second the operations of the army of Cerdagne. It appears that theConstitutionalists intend to defend the fort of Urgel. —lt is said that Orca with 1200 men has left Fournas fir Seo, in order to relieve the garrison. The Con- Eitutionalists have evacuated Balaguer and Tremp. 1: is said that Milans occupies Olot with 3or 4000 men. General Donnadieu's division, which was at first destined to invest Figueras, has received another des liaation of high importance, that of clearing Ariege cf the army of Mina. This General occupies the plain of Vick. The private letters from Paris state, that the plan ci operations is laid down for the first corps of the icrading army. The Duke of ANGOULEME, it ap pears, has sent orders to General MOLITOR to ad vance on Catalonia, with the view of drawing MINA from his present positions, and attacking him on one side; thus leaving Marshal MONCEY to pursue his operations in Catalonia on the other. The 2d corps rill thus remain separate from the Ist and 3d, to re pulse MINA and BALLASTEROS ; and while with the ht corps and the whole of the reserve, the Com mander-in-Chief advances on Madrid, the 3d corps 'ill continue the blockade of St. Sebastian and Pam peluna. It was expected that on the sth instant, the Duke D'AxaoutEmz would leave Vittoria, and that 1 7 the 9th the head-quarters would be transferred to Burgos, from whence the march to Madrid was to be Commenced on the 13th, and it was supposed would occupy about ten days. German Papers to the 2d inst. reached us this fore- Ws. The following are extracts : FROM THE BUCKOWINA, APRIL 8. News has just been received from Jassy that the Ilospodar of Moldavia has been ordered by the Porte to arrest, and send beyond the Danube, forty or fifty &yards, as well as the Metropolitan, to be tried for their conduct during the last two years. As there are five Austrian subjects among them, M. de Lippa, the Austrian Consul, required that they should be ex cepted from this measure and given up to him, other he would leave Jassy. But the Prince declared that he could make no change in the orders of the Porte, and that it was indifferent to him whether the Agent remained there or went away. In fact, all these prisoners have been taken from Jassy, fastened two together, in the Turkish fashion, to be tried. A Turkish Director of the Police, at lush is. sued, a few days ap e an order prohibiting the Mot= davian and foreign Ladies from going in carriages to the Co nvent o f G olgotha, and enjoining them to re main at home and be satisfied with diverting them selves in their gardens like Turkish ladies. But this or der has been revoked by the intervention of M. tippa. Since the arrival of the new Prince there is no want of the bastinado, and those who like this sight may enjoy it every day. WEIMAR, APRIL 28.- v ery body here is full of joy. Since last night hopes are entertained of the life of her Royal High ness the Grand-Duchess, who has been for some days in imminent danger. VIENNA, APRIL 24. Sir Thomas Maitland, who sailed from Corfu on the 7th of March, on board the Cambrian, has left the lonian Islands in a state of tranquillity and increasing prosperity, which was hardly to be expected after the violent fermentation of the last few years, and is the best eulogium on the wisdom of his government. We have since learnt that the Governor remained several days in the island of Zante, Avhere he gave a long audience to a Deputy from the Insurgents, who brought proposals to him for a final reconciliation with the Porte. Before the departure of the Governor there was great alarm in the Turkish provinces on the opposite coast, in consequence of the disasters of the Turkish troops before Missolunghi, and the declared intention of Reschid and Omer Paella to occupy Prevesa with some thousand men, notwithstanding the remonstran ces of the Magistrates and of the Foreign Consuls; the alarm was increased by the news that the Insur gents at Missolunghi were making serious prepara tions to attack Prevesa both by sea and land. The land expedition did not seem very probable, but a blockade by sea was much dreaded. These alarms have vanished ; misunderstandings have taken place at Missolunghi among the insur gents; and the Chiefs who threatened to invade Albania have all returned to the Morea, to defend their own interest against their competitors. The two Pachas have promised not to keep above 400 of their troops in Prevesa. The Pacha of Scutari has orders to come with his whole force to protect Southern Albania, and great preparations are everywhere making for a new campaign. At Corfu, however, hopes are still entertained that an amicable arrangement will pre vent farther bloodshed. The accounts from the Mo rea are very unfavourable for the Tut ks. BA NITS OF THE DANUBE. APRIL s.s. Letters from Vienna say, that the French Ambas sador at that Cana, the Marquis of Caraman, has communicated to the Austrian Government the plan which France is to pursue with regard to Spain, an nouncing at the same time its approbation by the Ca binet of St. Petersburgh. According to this plan of operation, Madrid is to be entered—a Government is to be established there in the name of Ferdinand— the Cortes is to be re-established as heretofore, as well as the ancient Consitution of Spain, regard being, however, paid to times and circumstances. It will then imitate the conduct of Austria to Naples' and Piedmont. They are quite sure of the neutrality of England, which, in a short time, they hope to find perform the part of a mediator. As soon as the Duke de Angouleme shall have arrived at Madrid, he is to direct his attention to the formation of an army in the name of Ferdinand. This army is to subdue Galicia and Andalusia, and to force back to their allegiance the Spanish Provinces which persevere in Revolts tionary principles. It does not appear that he has any intention of proceeding further than Madrid ; neither is it known how long the French troops will remain in Spain to protect the new order of things, but it is hoped that their presence will not be long necessary.

Should the KING carry into effect his projected ma rine excursions when Parliament shall adjourn, which, before the introduction of the Irish examinations, was calculated to take place by the middle of June,- nei ther Windsor Castle nor the Cottage in the Great Park will be visited so frequently as was originally intended. During the races on Ascot-heath, his MAJESTY, should his health permit, will sojourn at the Cottage, and will each day entertain the usual distinguished guests after the race is over. These constantly recurring fits of the gout, which, for the last six months, have exceedingly annoyed the KING, should they not be entirely got rid of, may occasion the plan for the Royal Summer Amusement to be again changed. His MAJESTY'S bodily health and spirits are said to be excellent; but it requires ao small share. of philosophical patience, to endure, with good-hu mour and equanimity, perpetual pain. Mr. KENNET% new Opera, which had been read in the Green-room at Drury-lane Theatre, has been transferred to the little Theatre in the Haymarket," where it will be.produced as one of the early novelties. The talents of Miss CHESTER, Madame VESTRI3, and the laughter-exciting karotr, are all included in Mr. KENNET'S Drama. A popular wit is the reputed author of Mr. ALEX ANDRE'S New Entertainment, shortly to be pro duced at the Olympic Theatre, in which this eccen tric Protests personates the Devil in twenty-one dif ferent shapes. BENGAL, Dec. 26, 1822.—The Chief Justice the Honourable Sir HENRY IILOSISETT landed at Chand paul Gbaut on Saturday morning, and on the same day took the usual oaths and his seat on the Bench, under a 'salute of seventeen guns fro!' the ramparts of Fort William _ GRAND EATERTAIMWENT AT tHE - MANSION-HOUSE: Yesterday, the Entertainment which was po tp anid s from Easter Monday, in colisequence of the extensive repairs in that building; took place. The Egyptian Hall was most supeibly fitted up for the occasion; but the number of tickets issued for the dinrer having considerably exceeded what is usual, two of the spa cious apartments cn the same floor were appropriated to the I eception of the later guests. The arrange ments made by the Committee were, however, such as to prevent any long continued confusion in the course of the arrival of a dinner party, consisting of nearly five hundred individuals. The company ex perienced, in the change of the drawing-room, which has been transferred from the second to the first floor, a very great convenience. In the centre of the prin cipal table, opposite the LORD MAYOR, WAS placed a splendid ornament, in bronze, containing cne of Mr. GORDON'S portable gas lamps, sent front the London Portable Gas Company's works, which was universally admired for the classic correctnes s and tastefulness of the design, together with the singu larly brilliant appearance of the gas. It consisted of a richly ornamented stand; surmounted by a group of figures, representing the second labour of Hercules in the destruction of the Letnzan Hydra ; the story of which is, that Heicules finding, when one bead of the serpent was cut off another immediately suc ceeded in its place, caused his friend lolaus to form flaming brands, which, as he cut off the heads, he applied to the wounds, and thus destroyed the mon ster. The gas was skilfully introduced CO form the blaze of the torch, and the forked tongues proceed ing from the three heads of the Hydra ; and the whole had a striking and beautiful effect. The LORD MAYOR, in the course of the morning, received an apology from his Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE, who was prevented'from honour ing the entertainment with his presence, by illness. We were happy to see the Duke of Your, who sat on the right of the LORD MAYOR, in excellent health. Nerd to his Royal Highness sat Prince LEOPOLD.— Amongst the company, at the upper table, were the following distinguished persons: Lord Harrowby, Lord Westmoreland, the Duke of Welling ton Lord Bathurst, Lord Liverpool, Lord G. C. H. Somerset, Lord Sidmouth, the Earl of Caledon, Mr. Secretary Canning, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Peel, and Mr.Huskisson. Foassau MINISTIRS.—Count Ludolph (Sicily) ; M. de M.

The.healtb of the King," " the Duke of York and the Army," and " the Duke of Clarence and the Navy," and the healths of the other branches of the Royal Family having been drank with the greatest applause, The Duke of YORK rose to propose " the health of the Lord Mayor," which was drank with the usual testimonies of approbation. The LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, said, that when he took upon him the office, lie had promised to maintain the hospitality and splendour which ought to he expected from the Chief Magistrate of such a City. He trusted he had succeeded in doing so. No exertion had, he assured the company, been spared upon his part to render his Mayoralty deserving of their approbation. " The health of the Lady Mayoress" was then drank, and the Loan MAYOR returned thanks for her Ladyship, and said, that it had been her anxious wish to render the house, agreeable not only to those who came on official business, but to the Members of the Corporation in general, and all Who had a claim on Civic hospitality. " The health of the Earl of Harrowby" next fol lowed, after which the healths of the Earl of West. moreland, the Earl of Liverpool, and the rest of his Majesty's Ministers were drank. The Loito MAYOR in proposing those healths, said, that since he had sat in Parliament he had supported the measures of Mi nisters, because be believed they were directed towards the prosperity of the country. To their measures the country owed the preservation of peace. " The Earl of HARROWBY, in returning thanks, as sured the company, that whatever might be the effects of their measures, their object was the pro sperity of the country, as well as the honour of the City of London, over which the Lord • Mayor so worthily presided. " The health of the Duke of Argyle, and the rest of the Nobility who honoured the City with their presince," was then drank. After which The LORD MAYOR proposed " The health of the Duke of Wellington," to whose prowess in arms it was owing that the country was in its present state of safety. The Duke of WELLINGTON, in returning thanks, said, that the manner in which the compliment had been paid him convinced him of its sincerity. It was "oracularly gratifying to him to receive the thanks of the Citizens of London in the presence of a Mem ber of the Royal Family, and of some of the Minis ters under whose auspices he had acted against the enemies of his country. After several other health* bad been drank, the hour for the reception of the evening party arrived, and the dinner party rose.—The rooms were soon crowded, and the dancing commenced at half-pastl ten, The Ball was opened by the daughter of Sit C.

' • The British Press is quite right, in not•aiserting, " in direct opposition to the Star, that a fleet is tic,* preparing by us for" the West Indies. The fleet it there already. When speaking of the probable designs of the French on Cuba, as far back as the 12th of last month, we made the follow ing statement, cif the ecii recta ness of which the Public may continue to rest assured. ig Whatever course matters may take, it is satisfac: tory to find that our Government have not been in attentive to possible results, and that there is already a fleet in the West Indies strong enough to enforce whatever may, in any event, be necessary lot the interests of England:"— We agree with the Press, that if the French have any designs on the island of Cuba, they are utterly at issue with the policy of England ;" nor do we conceal from ourselves that the system of neutrality which we have at present so wisely resolved to follow, runs a greater chance of being endangered by designs on the other side of the Atlantic, than in any other part within the probable sphere of French ambition. Mr. THOMAS MOTTLEY, of Portsmouth, that active Officer of the Revenue, has taken in Southampton River the Louisa, of London, laden with a large quantity of contraband spirits and tobacco, valued at E 5,000. The Louisa had five men on board at the time of her capture. Sir THOMAS MAITLAND, who left Corfu on the 7th of March, arrived at Turin on the 24th dlt. OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.—(FrODI the Dublin Jour nal of Monday).—The outrages in the South are daily assuming a more daring character. Tuesday niglit, a party of insurgents, supposed from Donor, attacked the Palatine village of Glanasheen, in the county of Cork, and burned four houses, including the Police Barracks. A party of the 71st Regiment saved the village, and probably the lives of the whole of its inhabitants. In the counties of Cork, Kerry, and ILimerick, the insurrection rages with unabated fury; and those principles which lead to the Rock system seem to be extending to other quarters of Ireland. The severity of all legal measures hitherto adopted aPpears to have had little or no effect in checking the outrages, and certainly it has had no influence on the minds of the people, who seem to actfrom aconv ict ion of their right to dispossess tenants and regulate the price ofland. Whatever may be said to the contrary, we feel con vinced that Captain Rock has nothing political or re ligious in his system ; it is the pressure of rent and tithe which he wishes to shake off, and his means for the accomplishment of his object is the terror in ' spired by his atrocities. This ,day the prisoners who stood committed OR charges of felony were removed from the several jails in the City of London and County of Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory to their taking their trials at Justice Hall in the Old Bailey, where the Sessions will commence on Wednesday next.

Tuesday night, a shopman to a •linen-draper in Tottenham-court-road, put a night-capon a barber's block, which he laid in the maid-servant's bed un: known to any one, by way of a lark. The maidgoing to bed last of the family, and seeing the appearance of a man's head in her bed, dropped the candle in her fright, which set fire to the sheets, and the blase ccommunicated to her apron and gown. She run 'down stairs with fire above and below ; her screams alarmed the family, who got up and hastened to her assistance, and extinguished her clothes by rolling her in a carpet and throwing a pail of water over her. 'They ran up stairs, and found the room in flames ; 'but, with the assistance of a dozen more pails of ' water, they succeeded in extinguishing them, but not before the bed, bedding, and some of the 'furniture were destroyed. The unfortunate girl was much burnt in the face and hands. Such often are the fatal effects of fooling.
