PARIS, SEPT. 18.—The Duke de Chatre, first Gentleman of the King's Chamber, left Paris yes terday (Monday last) for Calcii. at which port his Britannic Majesty is expected shortly to arrive.— The Duke is honoured by his Sovereign with a mis sion to welcome the King of Great Britain at the m nnent of his landing on the soil of France. It appears certain that the King of England will quit Calais instantly on landing, for Brussels, and ►hat it is only on his retain from Hanover that this Monarch will visit Palk. M. Philip Green, the English Consul, who has been compelled to quit Patras, is now at Marseilles. " We have rectived an extraordinary Supplement to the tiniversal of the 6th inst. which contains his Catholic Majesty's answers to the permanent Depu tation of the • Contes, and to the representation addressed to hint by the Municipality of Madrid.' " TO THE MUNICIPAL BODY. " I have rendered an account to the King of your Excellency's address of yesterday, which breathes a love of tranquillity, and zeal for its re establishment in this capital, where it had been mo mentarily disturbed by the events mentioned in the same address. His Majesty's wishes correspond with the sentiments of affection and respect represented by your Excellency. His Majesty orders me to inform you, that he will return with the greatest satisfaction to Madrid, as soon as he has recovered from his indisposition, which has nearly ceased; and that it has been the only cause of his stay at this royal residence. His Majesty is moreover well satisfied with the vigilance of your Excellency fin. the main tenance of good order, and orders Inc to testify his lively acknowledgment. (Signed) " BARDAII." MADRID, SEPT. s.—Letters from Saragossa state that u Frenchman, named Cuguet de Montarlot, who appeared in that city in the month of June last, reported that he had been persecuted by the French police for his political opinions ; and that the object of his journey was to treat with General Rafael del Riego, concerning the means of bringing about a revolution in France. Whether Montarlot was what he represented himself to be, or an agent of the Paris and Laybach police, we know not ; but the Political Chief and the Captain General gave him to understand, that the harmony which existed between the two nations, weuld not permit any encouragement to be given to his project, and from that time he was constantly watched. Montarlot, however, violating the laws of hospitality, and compromising the interests of Spain, which had given hint an asylum, proceeded with this plot, suc ceeded in seducing some incautious persons, and prepared a proclamation, and printed patriotic songs, which were to be sung by the troops he expected to collect on his entrance into France. These papers fell into the bands of the Magistrates, and when a constitutional alcade was going to apprehend Mon tarlot, he had already fled without a passport, having stated that he was going to join General Diego at Saragossa. The greatest tranquillity reigned in Saragossa at the departure of the post. On the night of the 31st, ten or twelve persons appeared shouting " Long live Ricgo, if he is not guilty ;" but all the rest of the people answered, " Long live the consti tution ;" and the Political Chief ordered the crowds to disperse, and the people to return to their homes, which commands were instantly complied with. SEIM 6.—The first intelligence of the events which have transpired at Saragossa produced great f,rment in tins capital. The discussions at the Club Fontana were most outrageous ; the revolutionary orators know no restraint. On the 3d instant a courier arrived from Saragossa, and it was instantly circulated that Diego was arrested. The most in temperate demagogues exclaimed against his dis grace as a servile ticterence to the French Govern ment. Our Government, to calm the public uproar, caused it to be stated in the journals, that Riego was on the point of heading enterprise which might entail the west deplorable disasters upon Spam, and even lead to fl,rei;,ni war; and, in con sequence, it had been deemed expedient to deprive lulu of his command, and order his retirement to Lerida On the 4th inst. the commotion aL,l.umed a more violent character, in consequence of the nett nom:- MONDAY, SEPTEMBER PA, 1821. nation of the Minister of War, Rodriguez. An im mense multitude thronged the Puerta del Sol, and demanded the instant return of the King to Madrid; that the French Ambassador should be sent off; the Cortes immediately convened, and all suspected per sons removed from the King's person. Orators had posted themselves in various balconies in the Red St. Luis, who urged the people to excesses by their in flammatory harangues. Even a Grandee of Spain (it is affirmed that it was the Duke de/ Parque) ex hibited himself in t gallery, armed with n poniard and announced to the populace, that notwithstanding his advanced age, he hail yet strength enough to plunge it into the hearts of tyrants, and to support the tights of the sovereign people. His address was hailed with loud acclamations. Towards the even ing the populace surrounded the Ilan of the Cortes, where the Permanent fleputation informed 'them that they had despatched a messenger to the King, to inform his Majesty of the state of the capital. From thence the people throng( d to the Municipa lity, several of the members of which endeavoured to appease them: they insisted that an express should be sent off to the King, desiring him to rettun to his capital. This the Municipality promised, and the crowd dispersed. Yesterday there was the same ferment, his Ma jesty's answers were demanded, and the authorities were forced to announce that none had been received. The Ministers have all sent in their resignations. The troops have been three days under arms. All rational men shudder when they sec that three or four wretches, who take tile lead ut the Club Fon. tans, can thus disturb public quiet, and drag us to the precipice. The Political Chief; Gen. Caissons, who thought to maintain his place and tuipularity by his coward flattery of the populace, is no.v deprived of the King's confidence, and despised evetr i by those on whom he lavished his base servility. I e has de clared himself ill, and tendered his resignation. Reflecting minds sec in this a well-combined plan to involve us in all the horrors of a civil war; the first thing in furtherance of a latch was to remove Gen. Morrill), whose courage and fidelity they justly feared: this view was effected, thanks to the in trigues and gold of the American Spaniards. Now it is wanted to fierce the King to return to his capi tal, in order to load him with insults, as was the case in November last. God knows where men will stop who have a taste for revolutions. TEN O'CLOCK, Pm .—A courier has just arrived from Saragossa. There is no doubt that Riego as pired to the Dictatorship: some agents who were in the secret divulged the plan. There was a general cry of execration against the conspirator when his views were known. He has been conducted to the fortress of Lerida, under a strong escort. It is im possible to describe our situation. We are on a vol cano. It it affirmed that a plot to assassinate the King has been discovered, and that several high personages arc implicated. lisvolvtii, SEPT. 10.— (P/ivale Correspondence ) —lt is certain that the events of Saragossa were connected with the projects of the factious at Ma drid. The proclamation of the republic was to have been billowed by the assassination of all persons known 14 their attachment to the royal tinnily. General Murillo Was t:Aiiied to ba the first immo lated. Wu have received the fiillowing intelligence from Madrid:—" Since the 3J instant the troops have been constantly under arms. Shall we be able to restrain the factious? Reasoning men conceive smile hope, especially if it be true, as rumoured, that Gen. Moral() has yielded to Ole invitation of the King, that he would resume the command of the armed force." When the Minister for the colonies presented him self before the King, to render his own and his col. leagues' resignation, the King received him in the tuust ungracious manner, and would not accept it It is maniftzt that the revolutionary party aim at nothing less than the expulsion of the Loyal tinu ly. The mass of this brave nation is royalist, but France has recorded un example of what may he dune by a handful of anarchists, whose a udacity inspires terror. It is positively stated that all the Spanish Minis ters are dismissed, and that no persons can be tumid lu accept their places. The following is the description given of the n Leh was to be struck to commemorate the Paler. 94d. execution of Riego's project:—The size that of a piaster; on one side a column, surmounted by a globe, above which appears a star; the obverse a crown, encircled with olive and laurel branches, and in the middle the word Liberty.' TOTAL DEFEAT OF TIIE ROYALITS ARMY I.V SOUTH AMERICA BY THE INDEPENDENTS. " Angostura. July 17, 1821.. " The haitle has been fought which 1 told you in my last would be the last stake of the Royalists, and has ended in their total overthrow. The President. Bolivar, commanded by the Republican army, ably supported by Gen. Paez ; and the Royalist limes were commanded by General La Torre, who, since the: departure of Morino, has held the chief com mand here. The battle, which was evidently in tended by both parties to be the great trial of streng h hetween them, took place in the plains of Calab.ao, and, by all accounts, was fought with great desp, ration. The result has been the entire dispersion of the Royalist army—the entry of Bolivar into Caraccas—the complete evacuation of that capital, and of its port La Guayra, not a single Royalist soldier remaining in either place. Gen. La Torre, and his second in command General Moralie, made the best of their way to Puerto Cabello, in which place the scattered remnants of the Royalist army were taking refuge. Gen. Paez, one of the most extreordinary warriors the world has perhaps ever produced, did wonders with his cavalry. In this arm of war the Patriots have always been deciderfly superior; and although you may doubt it in Eu rope, I doubt whether you will any where hod cavalry that Pacz's need be afraid or ashamed to meet, for general effectiveness. Instances of great perostial valour are incilGined as Lavine been shown on the part of the Independents, accom panied with that sort of fervour of devotion which great occasions call forth. What the Spaniards can expect in pronging this miserable strug gle, losing place er place, regiment after le gituent, and every day maturing the most deadly hatred towards them, on the part of the natives, nobody here can conjecture. It seems as if nothing would satisfy them but the destruction of every sot dier they have remaining in the country, and to au complish that will not now require u great deal inure exertion on the part of the Independents.
