There are to be eight of these squadrons, so that the artillery of the line will be composed, in all, of 7,688 men and 11,432 can noniers. As the partisans are, we believe, excluded from this savoseatios, forme a large disposable force. The Congress at Verona may be considered as ter minated. The Emperor Alexander was to set ou on the 13th instant for Venice, whence he will pro ceed directly to Warsaw. His Imperial Majesty has appointed an interview with the King of Wur temberg, at lnspruck, and another with the Grand Duchess of Weimar, at a more distant town. It is affirmed, that the Royal Ordinance, for the convocation of the Chambers on the 28th January, will be published forthwith.

The Deem mibados, as cowardly when they are resisted as they are ti rocious when they excite fear, !remained mate. and the people were inclined to applaud the Political Chief. The situation of the royal family and the peace• able people of Madrid is very critical. The condition of the Infants has not been changed in any respect. The King, to whom the air is salutary, goes out somet LS We have seen Linea Gazettes which come down ,to the 3d of July. Besides the details of the occu patios of the city and kingdom of Quito by the united forces of Peru and Columbia, which success was already known to the public by advice,: by way of the West Indies, they mention that disputes had again arisen among the commanders of the Spanish forces, and that Generals Camerae and Valdes, with their partisans, who were principally active in de.. posing the late Viceroy, Pezuela, bad attempted to remove from his command Gen. Ramirez, Governor of the province of Arequipa, an officer much looked up to and respected. General San Martin had taken advantage of these circumstances to address the thllowing proclamation to . the soldiers of the Spanish army:— " Soldiers of the adverse Army !—The campaign of Quito has been concluded, and Gen. Aymerich, with all the army under his command, have been made prisoners of war, in consequence of the cele brated battle of the 24th of May, on the sides of Pichincha. You alone still persist to bear arms against the liberty of Peru, since already, in every other part of America, those only exist who have triumphed over her oppressors. Ask your chiefs where are the Spanish armies which have kept alive the contest, from Mexico down to La Plata? What has been the fruit of the blood which they have spilled, and of the fatigues which they have under gone? Ask them what end they propose to obtain by sacrificing you, knowing that sooner or later your tate must be the same as that of all who combat against the freedom of America? Ask them, finally, upon what sources they reckon ?—where are the fri gates Prueba and 'enganza, and the sloop of war Alarander, whose surrender they have hid from you, and what news they have of the ships from Spain, with which they misread you ? for they have now no resource but in falsehood and imposture. The Government of Peru despises this resource, and confesses always its reverses, as it did upon the dis persion at Ica, relating fra►kly our loss. The loss of a skirmish or of a battle cannot change the destiny of Peru : your chid; know this, and they tremble to think of it. According to a private letter from Figneiras, a portion of the Army of the Faith has again rallied and marched against and taken possession of Puy. cerda, in spite of the efforts made by the enemy to defend that fortress. Belanes has also been taken bythe troops of the Faith. The battle, says this letter, was a very bloody one. A great number of monks, who fought in the ranks of the Army of the Faith, fell by the hands of Mina's soldiers. It was remarked that the fury of the Constitutionalists was principally directed against these ecclesiastics. The following details respecting the various posi tions, &c of the Royalists in Spain, are calculated to show that they have no cause to despair of the noble cause which they defend Baron d'Eroles has re-entered Spair, and his movement is combined with those of eit . ..l't of the divisions Campredun and So'solid. Merino, an extraordinary man, nominated Major- General during the war against the French, ranges the mountains of Old Castile, Burgos, and all the left bank of the Douro, as fitr as Osma, near Valla dolid. He has 2,000 men under his orders. Zabala, a pensioned Lieutenant-Colonel, with 800 men, keeps the Constitutionalists in awe in that part of Old Castile bordering Arragou and the pro vince of Alava. 1 Cucbilla, a partisan chief in the independent war, ranges Biscay and a portion of the Asturias, and of Old Castile, as far as Pancorbo. . " Soldiers,—Do not sutler yourselves to be longer seduced: the liberating army respects the brave, and only wars against the obstinate. I pledge my word to you, that if you abandon the banners under which you march to ignominy and death, I will provide fur you without delay the means of returning to Spain, as General Sucre has done for those vanquished ut Quito. The Americans who choose to join our ranks shall find only friends and brothers among the soldiers of Peru ; and if they prefer to retire to their homes, they shall be protected and aided by the Go vernment. Charles O'Dunnel, Lieut.-General, occupies all Navarre, as far as Alfitro and Tudela, with 6,000 men. _ _ " Soldiers,—Think on the marches you have yet to make, the bad state of your markets, the priva tions which surround you, the dangers which wait f a you, and all this merely to nourish the caprice of some rash chiefs. Leave them to their obstinacy, and let them suffer alone the fatal consequences ; come to the land of liberty, and by the fulfilment of the promises F have made you, you shall be con vinmd of the falseness of your leaders. " bal.', June 27, 1b22. "SAN MARTIN." This proclamation was to be thllowed directly by an expedition intended to land near A requipa, in the heart of the enemy's country, composed of the troops returned from Quito, assisted by their Columbian allies. It was expected that the Congress would be opened on the 28:h of J uly. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS. Die. I7.—A royal ordinance, dated the 27th of lust month, is published, which calls in to . active service all the young soldiers of the 182 I, which are at present disposable in the depart ments, and orders them to be distributed in the dif ferent corps according to the usual course. Another ordinance, published in the Monikur of yesterday, augments the artillery of the line. The total force of a French squadron of artillery in future Is to consist of 26 officers and 935 uuu-ouunnissioned Pereira, one of the Members of the Apostolic Junta, (which was formed on the breaking out of the revolution), is in Galicia, menacing Corunna, and ranging as flu as the frontiers of Portugal. El Rojo tie Valderos, an ancient and valorous partisan, ranges Valladolid, Rustoro, Salamanca, Avila, and the whole kingdom of Leon. In Estremadura, three partisans have upwards of 2,000 men under their orders. Zaldivar ranges the whole province of Cadiz : he has been seen to enter Xeres, San Lucar, Arcos, Cordova, Butexera, and Ronda. In Arrugon there are six partisan chiefs. Five thousand men are in the vicinity of Huesca, Mit:pi nenzu, and Saragossa. It is known that 20,000 men have appeared in Catalonia, under the orders of Baron d'Erules, Fleyne, Mallavilla, Nlosen- Anton, Sapera, Valero, Romago, the Trappist, Mi rates, and Vatting°. MADRID, DEC. 6 —Yesterday a gala took place at Court, on the occasion of the anniversary of the Queen's birth-day. Although some pamplets were designedly' circulated the preceding evening, in which " the servile homage paid to privileged tami lies" was ridiculed, the circle was pretty numerous, and the Queen, although in u state of suffering, ad dressed herself in the most affable manner to the faithful servants who were admitted to oiler her the I homage of their respectful attachment. The ancient Political Chief, NI. San Martin, to whom the Deseamisados have given the nickname of Tin-tin, has been the object of must furious &eta minions at the Club Landaburian. Fears were en tertained fur the of this magistrate, from the vociferations of the citiz.ni Romero Alpuente ; but M. St. Martin, wit° joins to great personal courage a good reputation, diseuncerted the brawlers by pre- VERONA, Dm s.—(Extract of a private letter.) —Yesterday and to day new conferences have been held on the subject of the affairs of Italy. It appears that a final decision has beer adopted respecting Naples and Piedmont. Various versions are in cir culation here, respecting the mode in which the gra dual evacuation of the Sardinian territory has been regulated. However, up to the departure of this letter, nothing official on this subject has been pub. lished, and no extraordinary courier has been sent to Turin. With regard to the kingdom of the Two Sicilies, we are assured that it will continue to be occupied by the Austrian army, with the exception of some arrangements which will be made by the Neapolitan Government, to render the presence of 40,000 troops in its territory less burdensome. It is thought that the staffs of the divisions and bri gades, which are very numerously composed, and which consequently cost the Neapolitan treasury much, will undergo some reductions which will se far alleviate the burden of a foreign occupation.— Prince de Metternich received another courier from Vienna yesterday. The despatches of which he was the bearer relate to Turkey. The advices from that quarter must be of great importance, for the Aus trian Chancellor of Foreign Affairs instantly com municated them to Count Nesselrode. This latter Russian State Minister, last evening, despatched a courier to St. Petersburgh. It is reported that new conferences will take place on the affairs of the East, and that the extraordinary circumstances un der which the Empire of the Crescent is placed, will necessitate great modifications in the mission that Lord Strangford is charged by the Congress to fulfil at Constantinople. CONGTANTINOPLE, Nov. 11.—The fall of HATA Effendi and of his party has produced the strongest sensation at Peca. It must have been particularly disagreeable to the new Austrian Envoy, D'Otten fels, since he was said to be very intimate with that favourite, who had procured hint a brilliant recep tion on the part of tile Sultan ; at least this is the opinion of some persons. The catastrophe which fol lowed three weeks after this audience, appeared to him to be so much the more calamitous, and it will produce a great sensation throughout Europe, al though it had been suspected fiur a long time that the Grand Seignior would ultimately yield to the voice of the people, to avoid greater evils. Among the number of Greeks who have been put to death to-day, is a brother of Negri, the Russian Counsellor of State, formerly ambassador in Bucha ria. He had married the Princess Callimachi, whose family was massacred at Roll, in the course of the last year. IVllat has become of his wife and chi!. dren is not known. The Patriarch has received an order from the Divan to furnish, within a few days, s wmplete list of all the Greeks who are at Curl. stantinople ; a measure which has given rise to much uneasiness. In other respects, we are now entirely on a footing of war, since a general arma ment has been ordered. Si.uust, Nov. 11.—The Pacha of Belgrade has himself announced the fall of the favourite of the Sultan, adding. that Cimurschid Paella would pro bably use ipe from the inquiry which has been ordered to be instituted. As the Sultan is hated by the Ja nissaries, it is probable that tlizy will not contend themselves with the fall of his favourite, whom they believed to be sold to the lot of the Janissaries uit:tried gross Sultan, they would probably some attempts upon his life, if ti did not labour under epilepsy. who, on many occasions, has dra , the l:utred of the people and th scarcely escape their vengeance, if. 4 ' didels.
