The answer to enquiry this morning at Canton-palace. was that His Majesty Mil very well.—Some surprise. we are informed, was Indicated by the countenance of the at tendant at the enquiry having bees made. Frankfort papers have been received this morning, but they contain very little news of importance. Sir Thomas Maitland. it appears, arrived at Turin on the 24th of:April. His Excellency sailed from Corfu on the 7112 of March, on board the Cambrian frigate, and left the lonian Islands, it is said, in a state of tranquillity and increasing prosperity,which was hardly expected. It is reported that he remained several days in the island of Zante, where be gave a long audience to a Deputy from the Greeks. who brought proposals to him for a final reconciliation with the Porte. The new Hospadar of Moldavia, is stated to exercise his authority with very great rigour. Since his arrival, it is said, there is no want of the bastioado, and those who like the sight may enjoy it every day. A Turkish Director of the Police at Jassy, issued lately an order prohibiting the Moldavia and foreign ladies from going in carriages to the convent of. Golgotha, and enjoining them to remain at home, and be satisfied with diverting themselves in their gardens like Turkish ladies. But this order has been revoked on the intervention of M. Lippa. Since our last the following official account, signed by General Guilleminot, bas been received : •• FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE SPANISH ARMY. " Head-quarters, Vittoria, April 30, 1823. _ _ " General Count Molitor, at the head of the whole of the second corps, entered Saragossa on the 26th of April. The evening before, the magistrates of that city had gene to meet him as far as Mallen, and on their request a battalion of the advanced guard, commanded by Colonel Bellanger, was sent forward. The most perfect ,order reigned in the midst of the numerous population, whose lively enthusiasm required rather to be checked than excited. in the midst of this general joy, and with brilliant pomp, the entrance of the French troops Into the capital of Arragon took place. " There were foend in the castle of Saragossa 48 cannon, a great quantity of projectiles, and other munitions of war. The revolutionists, In retiring, had only time to destroy the powder. More than 8,000 Arragonese in arms will already have been joined to the second corps. " Ballesteros retires precipitately on Valencia, ordering aloeg with him the whole of his detachments. The blockade of Mequinenza has been raised in conseqqence of the move ments of the 2d corps, combined with that of the Marshal Duke de Cornegliano, who, after having takea possession of Roses, has formed the blockade of Pinner's, occupied the city, and Is going to pursue his operations In Catalonia. "The important citadel of Jam was placed in the power of his Catholic Majesty on the 24th inst., by the regiment which was destined to form its garrison, and which took possession of the place with cries of Live our beloved King"-' Live Ferdinand Vll.!'—' Live religion t' " Marshal the Duke of Reggio, who is still at Bargos, is constantly receiving fresh expressions of the impatience with which we are expected at Valladolid. The inhabitants of that town have giver. a proof of their good Oisposition, by taking uperns to repel a party underthe Empecinado, which 1 . ,14 teen sent thither to carry off the Countess O'Donnel, the wife of Lieuteuant-General O'Donnel, one of his Most Catholic Majesty's most faithful servants. " A column, under orders of Gen. Albignae, of the let corps, traverses the country between Burgos and Santander, in order to induce the evacuation of the latter town, and to support the Spanish troops coramanued by Quesada which blockade Santona. These troops have obtained possession of the fort of Daredo, which places the roads of Santona in their power. " A slight engagement took place at the blockade of Pam. peens, between a few hundred men who had made a sortie on a convoy of provisions, and a detachment of the 6th re. ginient of the line (Conchy's division), which immediately drove them back into the place, with the loss of several killed, and about ten wounded. "Order and tranquillity prevail in all the provinces awn Ipied by the army." -121 a private letter from Vittoria, given by the Journal dee Debate, it is asserted, that in consequence of the agitation which prevailed at Saragossa, the Conatitu ,tioml authorities were obliged to request General Moli tor to hasten his arrival, and that the people look upon the French as their deliverers. Similar statements ap pear in other papers. The Quotidienae contradicts the renewed reports of a negocistion with the Spanish Go vernment, and more particularly the statement that the Conde del Abisbal, is the medium of the communications In some of the private letters that appear in the latter paper, it is admitted that Mina held the plain of Vicli With no less a force than 12,000 men ; that he had be sides garrisons in the Seo d'Urgel, Campredon, Olot, Berge, Belver, and Figueras ; and that he Banked Mar shal Money's position in such a manner as to threaten his rear if he moved forward, and thus prevented his ad vance. The whole war is said to be in the mountains, and as nothing could be done as long as Mina retained possession of them, it is added, that General Donnadieu bad received orders to endeavour with his division to clear them of the Constitutionalists, a task which, from the skill and force of his antagonist, with the nature of the country and the disposition of the inhabitants will not be easily performed. " Mina," says, one of the letters alluded to, " exercises a great iillaexce in Catalonia ; he prevents as much as he can the operations of the Prince Oeneralis. duo from being known, while his spies in Spanish Ca. dapagive him taut intelligence of all the movements of ear troops. This country is fall of defiles without con. manications; the mountains are still covered with snow, NA We have great difficulty as to provisions." The Ceastitatiosaliste, it appears, have made several sorties from Pampeluna to attack convoys, and to beat up the laarten of the besiegers. They are udd to hare been driven back each time, but it is owned that they burned convents and houses in which the Royalists who followed the French had posted themselves, so that the object which they bad in view was probably accomplished before they retired. In consequence of these occurrences, it is understood from private letters of Monday last from Paris, that the , mode'of proceeding intended for the first corps of the French army has been changed. The Duke d'Augon tome, it appears, has sent orders to General Molitor to advance 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 ope rations in Catalonia on the other. The 2d corps will thus remain separate from the Ist and 3d, to repulse Mina and Ballesteros; and while with the Ist corps and the whole of the reserve, the Commander in Chief advances on Madrid, the 3d corps will continue the blockade of St. Sebastian and Pampeluna. It was expected that on the sth instant, the Duke d'Angouleme would leave Vittoria, and that by the 9th the head-quarters would be transferred to Burgos, from whence the march to Ma drid was to be commenced on the 13th, and it was sup posed would occupy about ten days.—ln the absence of authentic intelligence from the interior of Spain, numerous reports prevail. According to these, Ulman entered Valencia on the 13th of April, without striking a blow ; Ballesteros had lost much by desertion, and Mina had retired on Barcelona with a small body of troops. Valladolid, it is said, was occupied by the Carel Merino, and 'Valencia by Cuevilla, another chief chief of the Royalists. The troops of Quesada had advanced as far as Araoda de Duem; and Amirante, it is said, was in Leon, with 4,000 troops, manceuvring to unite with a person calling himself the Royalist Chief of Galicia; Morilla was in Galicia, with 2,000 men; Abisbal had encamped at the Pardo, two leagues from Madrid, with between 2,000 and 3,000 men. It is said that he has fre quent conferences with the Magistrates of the capital. Faswcu FUNDS on Monday.—Five per cents. 87. 40 Bank Shares, 1540. Neapolitan Stock, 751.

The Express from Paris has brought the French enter 89.20, and Spanish Bonds 42.8. The rise of the Spanish Stock in the above Capital is owing to their having received our prices of Saturday, which were 39. We do not hear of any news of importance from Paris, except that Mina Las divided his army into strongthaeril la parties, which keep Marshal Moncey's Army on the continual alert. They do not expect at Paris any fight ing in Spain until after the French have reached Zladrid The high price of the French Funds as well as an expec: tati•n of some sort of negotiation being opened after the French have reached the Spanish capital, are the causes of our market keeping up. , Foaming MARKET.—rhere i s very little doing in the above market this morning.

THL WeSTERN 11VVISPHIMB.—An interesting volume is just published, relative to this part of the World, under the tale of " The Geography, History, and Statistics of Ame rica and the West Indies, etc. &c. by Messrs. Carey and Lea of Philadelphia, with considerable Additions relative to the New States of South America, &c." on the merits of which we are induced to quote the following opinion of a contem porary print :—" When the Folio, whence this Publication is formed, arrived from Philadelphia, we expressed our opi nion of its great utility and merits.

After this unequivocal testimony to Cie merits of the Volume before as, it merely remains for us to state that its price is only ISs. while the original work from which it has been formed, sells for Six Guineas. The weather yesterday was as warm as it had been on Ray day of last May. At one o'clock the mercury in • ther mometer in the Strand stood at 73 degrees. It was at the same height only one day (the 40th) in May, ISSN. At two o'clock yesterday, when it might hay. been expected that the mercury would have been higher, it was found to have sunk._ .. . _. . .. .

Information from Iceland, of the 1511 of March, says that the winter there has been very mild, though within the Polar circle; but there has been much rain and storm.

(PRIVRTI tORIBISPONDRRCIL) PARIS, MAT S. Yes t erd ay there wee SHIRRS/ad in the neighbourhood of Penis, one of those Court exhibitions which were supposed to have expired with the old regimes. and which scarcely any body Could have expected to see re vived by so old a King. His Majesty's favourite, you know, is Madame de Cayla. His fondness seems to increase with age and infirmities; he has lately, at a great expense (nearly 3,000,000 of francs, according to report), fitted up a little ebateau at St. Ouen, near St. Denis, on the site of the old Royal residence. This chateau, together with a magnificent portrait of him self, he has lately given la a present to this lady. As yes terday was the anniversary of his arrival at St. Oueo, where he issued the famous declaration of 1814, Madame du Cayla proposed to honour the occasion by inviting a large party to breakfast with his Majesty. She accordingly issued cards to more than five hundred persons, including the Ministers, Foreign Ambassadors, and chief Nobility about Court. — The form and expression of the cards are precisely. I am told, those of the Royal F ites of Louis XIV. and Louis XV. The following is a copy:— " La Ceratessedekille de Cayla espere one volts rotaries Aim velar dejemter l'endredi, 2 Mai, as pavilion de Saint Owe, d midi precis:" You observe there is no phrase about ' doing her the ho nour,' nor the usual forms of salutation or invitation. To the notes of the Ambassadors and privileged el , Ma dame added the following postscript : " L'agrand person nage y sera incognito," meaning the King, of course. The greatest part of the persons invited proceeded to the scene- The finest equipages of the capital continued pouring to St. Owen from mid-day till late in the afternoon. The Minis ters all attended the levy of a woman whom " the King de llghteth to honour." The Holy Alliance Ambassadors vied with each other in the richness of the equipages and the punctuality of their attendance. The Grand Persoututge, however, could net honour the Pavilion with his presence. He had promised to be present in a procession through the City, end he found the two labours of a great breakfast and a solemn promenade would be too fatiguing. PARIS, MAY 4.—lt may be interesting for you to know something of the history of this lady, if you are not already sufficiently acquainted with it. I have, therefore, extracted for your use the following particulars, from the report of a suit which she instituted in ISIS against her husband, fot separation a masa et adorn, and from a memorial dra4W' by the counsel of her husband against the judgmegiili It e 0 Cour Royale, which decreed that separation :-- t f; quie t Achille du Calls, her husband, emigrated when vetyi young. and joined the standard of the Prince de Conde,' He re turned to France after hepw that the efforts of the Prince were likely to be unavailbig, and in 1803 was married to Zoe Victoire Talon (the present Cour du Cayla), the daughter of M.

The Cork Chronicle of Friday says : " We have not perceived any Indignation of kn i Men don in this part of the Kingdom to hold Catholic Meetings." The Catholics of Cork -are right—never before were Catholic politics brought forward so unseasonably.— Never was the agitation of the Question likely to do less good, or more harm. IVe are actually in the midst of Irish business: in the name of common sense, let the thing go on without our operating a diversion for the Orangemen on this side of the channel. It is now too late to put off the proposed Meeting, al though indeed we 'ecollect that Meetings of "the Catho lics of Ireland" have been deferred with very little cere mony. A vote of thanks to Mr. Plunkett is sell de served, and ought to be given. Another similar vote to Sir Francis Burdett, by name, and the other friends of Civil and Religious Liberty in the House of Commons, for their conduct on all occasions, when the affsirt of Ireland have come under discussion, is equally proper aid well deserved. As to differences of opinion between the advocates of Catholic freedom, the Catholics, unless they mean to show themselves intolerant, have nothing to they with that branch of the subject. But let the Ca tholirs--le t Irishmen of all sects and parties, who wish to rid their country of the worst of its grievances, ac knowledge that they owe the present proceedings, at the Bar of the House, to Sir FRANCIS BCRDETT, and those who seceded with him on the discussion of the Catholic Question. After these two votes of thanks shall have passed the Aggregate Meeting, we expect to sec an adjournment sine die, proposed and carried. HIBERNIAN PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY. the whole yla palace . There Madame du Cayla resided till near the end of 1817. In July of that year her husband created a disturbance Io the palace by his violence of temper, which furnished both a motive for her leaving that residence, and supplied one of the grounds of their future separation. Mademoiselle Taloa; - - at the time of her marriage, was very handsome, very •• • • ---- - and •ery accomplished. Whether she gave her ha! grounds of jealousy or not, in the first years of their it would appear that jealousy was early the cans. of (14 tic discord, and that this feeling, acting on a weakild irascible mind, had deprived him of his senses. Such at least is the conclusion to which we must come, if we can believe the facts which Madame du Cayle alleged against him as the grounds of a separation necessary for her person al safety. The following is the picture which she draws of her domestic tyrant—" Hy a sort of oddity which belongs to his character, he can find happiness no where, and ap pears to exist only to torment and render miserable all those who ought to obtain and enjoy his affections. It is not saying too much to declare, that he is an object of terror and alarm to every one about him, by violence and his furies : nobody is safe against his abuse and his out rages. M. le Comte du Cayla seems to have laid it down as a law to himself to resemble nobody. With him every. thing is mania. Me goes out, and runs about the streets ; nay, goes journeys to the night-time with particular plea. sure. Ile does not return home or go to bed till four or five in the morning, and then remains in bed till four o'clock in the afternoon. He sleeps on a chair, on a dirty mattress stretched upon a plank, and iu all seasons keeps his win dows open. He takes his meals alone, even with traileurs, *ipi he cannot suffer the presence of any person whatever in room where he eats." The lady, after this pretty por trait, exposes ail her griefs in succession against her bus- Mad. She had been carried by him against her will from a ball—she had been called names by him—she had even been threatened with personal violence.—she had been abused in letters which he wrote to his friends, in which he accused her of infidelities. On these allegations, the Court decreed that "Zoe Victoire Talon is and shall remain separated In body and habitation from Count Achille Pierre Antoine de Baohy du Cayla, her husband—that he shall be prohibited from haunting or frequenting her, and that under such penalties as the Court shall fix." &c. Madame du Cayla is thus still the wife of the Count, though living on a separate maintenance; and if the King is to have her in a left-handed marriage, as it is said be wishes, he must apply to the Pope for an indulgence, which, after the good deeds doing for the church in Spain, will not be refused. Madame du Cayla is disliked by the Duchess d'Angon leme. She is not devout enough for the taste of her Royal Highness and her friends; hut the most fanatic Ultra does not decline her services, or murmur against her power. She platted Peyronnet in the Cabinet, and maintains Viliele In the Presidency. In the late fete Villele sat on her right hand. We hear that Mr. Stockdele, the bookseller of Pall. mall, bas just come unexpectedly into a large fortune,by the death of an uncle. it is also singular that within forty-eight hours of the announcement of the first, a second windfall should have come in, still more unex pectedly. By the latter he is said to become the patron of a Borough, which returns two Members; and it is far from improbable that he may take a seat in the House of Commons before the termination of the present Sessions.—Worning paper.) (PROM TUC DUBLIN MORNING POST OP MONDCT.)
