FRENCH DEULARATION TO THE-SPANIARDS. • 'mum OP • LETTER FROM Pays, AVM 7. "The King yesterday received a letter from the Prince C o mmander-in-Chief, stating that on Sunday the 6th of . April (yesterday) he was to enter the Spanish territory a s the head of his army. The troops were to defile before him on the banks of the Bidassoa, and to cross that river in succession. The first despatch of his Royal Highness, in which he will give an account of Ms having entered Spain, may be expected in two days. It will be immediately communicated to both Chambers in a Royal message; together with the manifesto or proclamation, de blaring to the army, to Spain, and to Europe, the cause and objects of the invasion. Of this proclamation I send you a copy:— " PROCLAMATION. " MIS OURS D'ANGIOU ARMS, ORNRRAL IN CHIRP OP TDB OP TUS PT RIINIIRS, TO THIS SPANIARDS. "The King of France, by recalling his Ambassador from Madrid, hoped that the Spanish Government, warned of its dangers, would return to more moderate sentiments, and would cease to be deaf to the counsels of benevolence and Cason. Two monthi and a half have passed away, and his Majesty has in vain expected the establishment in Spain of an order of things compatible with the safety of neigh bouring States. " The french Government has for two entire years en • dared, with a forbearance without example, the most unme rited provocations; the revolutionary faction which has destroyed the royal authority In yore country—which holds your King captive—which calls for his dethronement — which menaces his life and that of his family, has carries be yond your frontiers its guilty efforts. It has tried all means to corrupt the army of his Most Christian Majesty, and to excite troubles in Franc., in the same manner as it had suc ceeded by the contagion of its doctrines and of its example to produce the insurrection of Naples and Piedmont. De ceived in its expectations, it has invited traitors, condemned by our tribunals, to consummate under the protection of triumphant rebellion the plots which they had formed against their country. It is time to put a stop to the anarchy which tears Spain in pieces, which takes from it the power of set tling Its colonial disputes, which separates it from Europe, which has broken all its relations with the august Sovereigns whom the same Intentions and the same views unite with his Most Christian Majesty, and which compromises the re pose and interests of France. Spaniards! France is not at war with your country. Sprang from the same blood as your kings. I can have no wish but for your independence, your happiness, your glory. I am going to cross the Pyrenees at the head of 100.000 Frenchmen ; but it is in order to unite myself to the Spa niards, friends of order and of the laws, to assist them in setting free their captive King, in raising again the alter and the throne, in rescuing priests from proscriptions, men of property from spoliation, and the whole people from the domination of an ambitious few, who, while they pro claim liberty, are preparing only the slavery and ruin of Spain. " Spaniards ! Everything will be done for you and with you. The French are not. and wish not to be, any thing but your auxiliaries. Your standard alone shall float over your cities: the provinces traversed by our soldiers shall be administered In the name of Ferdinand by Spanish au thorities ; tho t discipline shall be observed; every thing necessary for the service of the army shall be paid for with scrupulous punctuality ; we do not pretend either to I apose laws on you, or to occupy your country; we wish nothing but your deliverance; as soon as we shall have ob tained it, we will return to our country, happy to have pre served a generous people from the miseries• produced by revolution, and which experienc,e , has taught us but too well to appreciate.

" MARTIGNAC." FORCE OF THE FRENCH AND ENGLISH SQUAD RONS IN THE WEST INDIES. —.ow— Conc. Arun. 4.—The report of the French force made by the Forte is as follows : Romulus, 74 ; Vestal, 66; Jean d'Acre. 06; Hendon., 44 ; Thetis. 44 ; Neride, 44; Moselle, 4.4 ; l'Genie, 44 ; l'Egerie, 44. Besides the above formidable squadron, Ina time of peace, the following French frigates, of the largest class, were hourly expected :--Guerriere, Circe, and Cleopatra. It is difficult to suppose that the French Government would maintain so powerful a naval force in the West Indies, with out ;laving some decided political object in view ; and as we do not choose to suspect it of being so preposterous in all its speculations and projects as to meditate a quarrel on the ocean with England, we ere led to eonjeseure that some de sign is meditated against Cuba—and we confess, for our parts, that we do believe the acquisition of this noble Island to be at bottom a main incitement to the quarrel with Spain. But is this we apprehend the French Government will be ut terly disappointed—for England caanot permit such a terri-i tory as Cuba to be appropriated at the will of the Cabinet of the Tuileries—notwithstanding that our naval force at Barbados. is inferior to that of the French at Martinique. The following vessels compose the British squadron at Barbadoes, and on the station : At Barbadoes—The Gloucester. 74, Sir Edw. Owen ; Forte, 48, Sir J.

Ihm—lt appears that the Agtictilturists are not likely to experience touch relief at present from any arrange ment that Ministers have suggested, excepting they can from the measure relative to Beer, which is to be die dosed after the recess. At that time, I, as a farmer, and a well wisher to the King and Constitution. hope and teust the country and independent Members, will use their utmost endeavours to do away with the unfair Monopoly in the Beer trade, and reduce the Duty on bar and Mak es low as possible, so that the poor man may have his wholesome beverage genuine and good at 3d. per pot. This would assist the farmer in a mach greater degree than the reduction of the Assessed Taxes. 1 am, you's, fa. A. B. C. 1 THE sr rEs r. , 40-414,00 • = , ..7 .41 . .. , v4 40.:14, Court." Oa Sunday last, lie bad some conversation with the deceased, whom he bad never seen otherwise than sober; saw deceased yesterday morning, but did not speak to him. Mr. Robt. Farnell, accountant—Has known deceased about two m o n th s; be came to witness in ronsoquence of an indictment for an assault pending at these Sessions ; he was recommended by a friend ; he asked witness what steps he should take, and was properly instructOd by witness. He has seen him often during the interval; about three we e ks s i n ce th e d e c e a s ed required witness to write a letter for him to his wife; he complained to wit ness that people in Sir Charles's house would not allow him to see her. [the letters alluded to we decline giv ing for certain obvious reasons ; it held out entreaties to his wife to intercede with Sir Charles, and persuade him to drop the prosecution; and wished her at all events to sign a mutual deed of separation ; and stated bis desire to procure from her a sum of money to rescue him from the embarrassments he laboured under). Witness told him he must get 12s. Gd. and enter the cause at Clerkenwell. On Sunday last, at Westmoreland -street, witness saw de ceased; he said he had entered the cause foi trial, and paid 121. 611.; he then said he should snbpmna Sir Charles Bampfylde for the trial. This witness, in continuation of his examination, stated, that he understood from the deceased, that hew as convinced a criminal connexion had been carried on for some years between Sir Charles and his wife. He appeared to be in a low desponding wav, and observed he had procured a situation, but if the indict meat went against him he should be ruined ; lie in formed witness b y e had called on Sir Charles, who had re fused to see him ; and he left witness, sayiag he was go ing to procure money for a subpmna and Counsel ; be appeared very wild in his looks; he made an appointment with witness for three o'clock, but witness never saw him. Witness wrote a note for deceased yesterday, to bespeak copies of sabpsena, &c. Here the witness explained the nature of the qua•rel which led to the indictment, as lie received it from the deceased. A cask of tale had been brought from Sir Charles's country-house, and the de ceased being anxious to partake of its contents, was re misted by Chinery, the butler, and Phillips, the footman, in which it appears they had the best of it. The Coroner, from all he had heard, was convinced the deceased was quite sane when he committed the act ; and the Jury being of the same opinion, found a verdict— Fel° de se. The inquest was not over until nearly 12 o'clock. OLD BAlLEY.—(frus AloftNiNG.) James Rogers, a man of very respectahle appearance, was capitally indicted for stealing 9$ lbs. of Copper, value 41. the property of Charles Kershaw and others, from the Mellish, outward-bound East Irtliaman, lying in the Thames. It appeared from the evidence of 'Mr. Kershaw, that the prisoner applied to him on the 26th February last, and stated that he understood there was an old cable on hoard the Mellish East lndiaman then lying in the Thames; and wished to purchase it. Mr. K. said that be had better go on board and look at it before he purchased, which he did ; and the price agreed upon, was 70/. • $Ol. of which the prisoner paid in money, and a bill for iOl., which was regularly paid when due. The pri soner requested an order from Mr. K. to enable him to cut it up on board the vessel, which Mr. K. granted him; and he was on board several times for that purpose. The copper in question was put on hoard partly on the twenty-seventh and 28th, and stowed away in the hold. On the 3d of March three pieces of the copper, which was in cakes, were found to have been removed, which excited suspicion ; but as the vessel was outward-bound, and a great quantity of goods necessarily on board, the parties could not ascertain whether any of the copper had been stolen or not. On a Sunday &tier, the prisoner was observed, carrying something weighty in .a can vas bag, by a police officer, who requested to see what he had got. Prisoner replied, some copper. The officer desired to see it, and finding it marked with the initials of the manufacturers--told prisoner he must take him to the Police Office. The prisoner re quested he would not do that, as he should be con victed and find 51. ; and tow. the officer lie might as well have the 51. as not. The officer replied he should do his duty, and took him to the Office, when 'lion inquiry, it was found to be part of the copper which had been shipped on board the the Mellish. The Jury retired fora considerable time, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. He was ordered to be detained ti:l the end of the Sessions. Mary Smith was indicted for steeling, in November last, from the person of Thomas bl'liinnon, one hun dred and twenty-nine pounds and some shillings, his property. The prosecutor stated, that he fell into company with the prisoner on the 6 20th of November last, in the Com mercial Road, and accompanied her to her lodgings.— After remaining there a short time, he became very sick, and the prisoner left the room under the pretence of ob taing assistance. Directly after she had quitted him, lie felt in his breeches pocket. where he had previously deposited the money, and fout•l it gone. He communicated this circumstance to the people in the house, but could obtain no assistance ; he went out and saw a man named Areher, who proffered his aid to find the wo man, and led him through several streets and alleys wituout success. Prosecutor at length suspecing he was leading him on a wrong scent, quitted hint and went to a police of ficer, to whom he gave information of the robbery,and point ed out the house where the prisoner had taken him; site, however, was not there, and prosecutor never saw her till the 15th of March last, in custody. A pub lican, named Robertson, of the King and Queen, in the Commercial-road, stated that he remembered seeing the prisoners In company with Archer on the night in question In the tap-room, when Archer was shortly called out by a men named Griffiths. They remained in conversation for a few minutes. Archer returned to the tap-room, called the prisoners out, and they all went away together. Griffiths was heard to say, '• all is right." The prisoner, in compa ny with Griffiths went the following night to a slop seller's, named Lewis, in Cable Street, and produced the hundred pound note. He asked the value of it. Grif fiths said he would lay out 51. if Lewis would give him change for it. This was refused, and they went away. They were immediately followed by Lewis, but he lost sight of them. Information was then given to Plunkett, an officer of Whiteehapel, who found toe prisonerin Al dersgate-street, on the 15th of Starch last, and took her into custody.—Archer was tried for the theft in Novem ber Sessions and convicted. The hundred pound note which was afterwards traced into the bank, was produced and identified by the prosecutor.—Gailty.—Death. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

SIR CHARLES BAMFYLDE. 1 --co.-.• ~ In answer to the enquiries concerning the state of Sir Charles. made yesterday at his house, the following bulletin was exhibited:— " Sir Charles Ramfyide has been wounded on the right side of the chest, near the spine, by a pistol ball, which is lodged there. The wound is not yet altanded with any un favourable symptoms, but is still one of a •ery dangerous tendency. (Signed) " J. HEAVISIDE. f' GI. J. GUTIIRIE. "J. MACGREGOR." Although the ball was not extracted yesterday evening, we bear that Sir Charles was free from pain during the day, when kept quiet. Ile slept five hours during the nicht ; but this might arise from exhaustion, as lie had been copiously bled twice. He is stated to be in the 71st year of his age. The following was exhibited at Sir Charles's house this morning : " Sir Charles Bamfylde is going on as favourably as, un der all circumstances, can reasonably be expected. " INQUEST ON JOSEPH WORLAND, WHO ATTEMPTED TO ASSAM- NATI eta CHAS. lIAMPFYLDE. Yesterday evening, an inquisition was taken at the Worcester Anus, Public House Geoige-street, Manches ter-square, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Joseph Morland, the individual who attempted the assassination of Sir Charles BaMpfylde, and who was the instrument of his own death under the following circumstances:— _ _ The Jury room, some time prior to the arrival of the Coroner, was so excessively crowded that there was much difficulty of entrance, and the Coroner was obliged to give orders to have the room cleared. The Coroner then took his seat, and was surrounded by 1 Gentlemen, Magistrates, &c. who felt the greatest anxiety to bear the evidence. Crowds of individuals filled the passage, and thestreet in front of the tavern was thronged, so great was the in terest excited by the dreadful circumstance. The following was the evidence received:— Lucy Stocks deposed, that her husband had been servant to Sir Charles Bampfylde, and she bad been in the habit of working as charwoman in Sir Charles's house; she was now In the habit of selling apples, &c.at the corner of the square ; about half-past four on Mon day afternoon, she heard the report of a pistol, and some person exclaimed, " Oh!" she then almost immediately heard the report of a second pistol; saw Sir Charles mov ing quickly towards his own buuse, heard him exclaim, " That d—d rascal has shot me." The wife of the deceased bad been the housekeeper to Sir Charles Bamp fylde, but had latterly been living in another family.— Witness had frequently seen deceased, inquiring for Sir Charles, during three weeks past; never beard him make other inquiries; knows that Sir Charles had caused the deceased to be taken before a Magistrate some time since, on account of some outrage on the footman. Thomas Elliott, lamplighter, was going down George street, and saw the deceased, then wounded, in the arms of some people, who carried him to the iVorcester Arms ; be was quite insensible, and continued so until be died about five minutes afterwards; a surgeon was sent for,who arrived a short time after his death. _ Mr. Armstrong, surgeon, was sent for to deceased, and found him lying on the table in the tap-room ; he was quite dead; there was no pulsation ; he had been shot through the roof of the month ; the ball had entered the brain. Witness was convinced from the magnitude of the wound, that deceased shot himself, and that the mouth of the pistol must have been very close to the wound. The ball lodged in the brain. Had seen nothing of Sir Chas. Bampfylde. Merely attended for the de ceased ; never saw him before. William Bayles, was an errand boy, living with Mr. Butter, 36, Wrgmore-street ; at half past four, was pass. ing down Montague-street, and saw Sir Charles Bamp fylde and another man with their backs towards himowalk ing on the other side of the way; there was a butter-mao also walking in the same line, but behind them. Sir Charles was walking from deceased; heard the reports of two pistols; saw deceased fire the second pistol ; his arm was lifted, and directed towsrds his face. Deceased staggered, and fell on the curb-stone. Witness crossed over; when the smoke bad dissipated, the butter-man took up the pistol, and left it at No. 9or 10, in Montagu street; saw the pistol fall from the deceased's hand; a plumber picked up the other pistol; when he heard the first report, be immediately looked round, and saw Sir Charles pot his hand on his back rather towards the side, and walk on. A man of the name of Jones was the first who touched deceased, but he could not stop to assist. Witness saw deceased taken up, he was quite insensible; never saw him before. By a Joryman.—Did heron away after firing the first pistol ?—No. He stood with his back to the coach-way, and fell on the curb-stone. John Longhurst, residing at No. 5, New Quebec-street, smith, between four and live o'clock on Monday after noon was walking in Montagu-street, when be heard the discharge of a pistol, which he now considered to have been discharged by deceased ; and on looking over to the opposite side of the way, he saw the deceased and Sir Charles, and some smoke; the deceased and Sir Charles appeared sideways to each other; they were walking to wards the square; when the pistol was dischaiged, Sir Charles made a motion as if he was hurt. He then heard the report of a second pistol, and deceased fell on his back ; witness instantly ran over to his assistance, but saw he aas quite dead. His body was taken to the Wor cester Arms, and witness followed with the gloves and hat. Sir Charles, after the first shot, walked towards his own house; one pistol was brought here, but wit ness did not know who brought it; saw the surgeon re ' ceive it. By a Juryman—What became of the letter you had be longing to the deceased? Witness—l know nothing of it. [The letter, dated Westmoreland Arms, was produced, and there were various duplicates also ] Question, by a Solicitor in the Court.—Did the de ceased exhibit any marks of lunacy between the firing of the two pistols? Witness—l cannot say. Robert Ennever picked up the pistol, which he iden tified. Mr. Richard Watcbome, of George's-street, examined. —The deceased had lodged in his house. During his observation of the deceased for six weeks, he always conducted himself in a very proper manner. The last time witness taw him was yesterday morning at the Westmoreland Arms in George's-street, when a man wrote a letter from deceased's dictation ; did not know who that man was. On leaving the Westmoreland Arms be wished him good morning; there was nothing singuH lar in his conduct at that tune; never saw him alive af terwards. Mr. Watchome, brother to the last witness, one of the Jurymen, stated, that deceased had lodged ith him l at the Westmoreland Arms (of which witness is land lord); he bed frequently 'heard deceased mention his embarrassments, and lament that he could not accept a situation. because there was en indictment against him, arising from the malice of ,his wife, in consequence of a fray which had occurred when he went to see her. He stated be bad kept a public-house in the country, and that Sir Charles had advanced him two sumo, one of 1001. and one of 691; that be had been unfortunate; that he had paid three pounds to his lawyer on this indictment, but that the lawyer had demanded 12s. 6d. more, which he had not to give him. Deceased appeared to him about 36 or 37. About ten days since asked witness for the loan of a pound—part to pay what be bad borrowed of a nother person, and 10s. to give his lawyer, who had and who, witness said "is now in vi rittea We letter, p • • _rst . %, vt,-711"••60 PUGILISM . .

Catholics. and Protestants, but likewise turned to a profitable account. At one o'clock Aby Belasco, attended by Harry Lee, and his seconds, Richmond and Ben Byrne, threw up his topper, with smiling confidence, into the ring ; and in a few minutes afterwards Pat Halton, arm-in-aim with his backer, a spoil ing Irish Captain, followed by Randall and Josh. Hudson, repeated the above token of defiaoce. A few of Halton's warm-hearted countrymen took off theli hats, shouted, and greeted hlm welcome. The odds, in a few instances, were guineas to pounds on Belaseo. The colours, yellow for the Jew, and green (a la Randall) for Halton, were tied to the stakes. Round 1. On stripping, the condition of the Irishman, that is to say, the skeleton appearance of Paddy. astonished his backers beyond description : his ribs were bare, his legs and arms were thin, his countenance pale, his tips white. and, in fact. he was as light as a cork, and his frame pos sessed no milling points whatever. The Jew, on the con trary, was *topic), to the mark, and never before in suck prime trim, home little squaring at each other occurred, when the Jew gave his opponent a tap on the cheek; P.ddy returned without effect. Halton again missed. A long pause. Belasco planted anotberfacer, without any return. Halton's right hand missed the Jew. At length some ex changes took place, and Belasco hit Halton as he was going down.—Mereturs from the Pallanders ; Foul, ere. 2. The Irishman showed the first blood, as ha hid napt clumsy thump on his left ear. After a few exchanges, in a close, the Jew fibbed his opponent, but Halton got the throw, and Belasco was undermost. S. The Jews were in raptures, and exclaimed—" It is as right as the hour; the Irishman can't fight at all; and Ake can't lose It." Belem hit his opponent on the body with.- out any return; a facer, ditto; this conduct made Halton angry, and he missed the Jew. " Give it him as I did," said Randall. " Ile can't hit a dent in a pound of butter," urged Hudson. " I can lick the whole three of you," re plied the Jew. " Silence !" said the amateurs. Belasco gave another hodier without return, also a nohber. Halton missed; in fact, he did not come near enough to hit hit opponent. Belasco again fibbed his opponent at the ropes; but Halton got the throw.-6 to 4OR the Jew. 4 and 6. Belasco bodic-1 his opponent several times, and got away with the greatest ease. The fibbing system was again practised with success, to the disadvantage of the Irishman. In the latter round Belasco caught hold of his ad versary by the hip or thigh. Randal said " fool! and if Belaseo did so again, he would take Halton out of the ring." li. It was evident to all the disinterested spectators that the Irishman had not the slightest chance. He did not make play; and notwithstanding all the energetic advice of Ran dall, backed by tne vociferation,' of Josh., Halton did not do any execution. The Irishman went down from n hit. - 7. The body of Pat received, and the Jew got away laugh ing at him. In a close the Irishman was sgain fibbed down. 7to 4. _ . ... . . 8. Halton missed numerous hits; and in striking he gave the office so strong, that the Jew always retreated in style. A short rally took place; and the Irishman's head was kit out of the ropes, but he got It in the ring again, when his left eye was nearly hit up. A pause. Halton missed lits adversary, when the Jew gave him cleanly a knock down blow. The Skeenies were now as gay as larks ; and 2to I was offered. 9. This was a sharp round ; and Belasco received two or three hits ou his body and arms. The Jew put down his hands for an instant, but Halton took no notice of it. Solis exchanges took place, and as the Jew was endeavouring to get away, he received a hit on the chest that floored him. bat he jumped on his knees instantly. A rare shout for Hal.: ton ; " Another hit like that," said Josh." and the Jew will tie it up. Why he's coming it now." " Chise replied the Jews. _ _ 10. The Irishman's face was claretted, and he had napped pepper : he missed one or two right handed hits, that other wise might have done some mischief. Halton never had a chance of winning; although he might have made a long 2ght, as the Jew was peculiarly careful about being hit.— Some exchanges took place, bat to the disadvantage of Halton, although the Jew went down. Murmurs from Hal ton's party ; and exclamations, " the Jew went down with out a hit." 11. and last; This was a sort of finishing round ; and from the superior fighting of the Jew, he might have done the same execution almost in ev. ry round if he had gone in to mill. Some sharp blows passed between the combatants, when the Jew's right hand tapped one cheek with claret ; his left hand produced pink on the other ; anti his right hand likewise brought the vermillion from over Halton's eye.— It was severe punishment, and the Irishman went down. Belasco, in falling, touched the face of his opponent with one if his knees. Here the row began ; Randall called out " foul !" Josh. also roared out like a bull. Randall said he would take his man out of the ring. Halton, sitting upon his latter end, said to the Umpires, "It is foul !" The lat ter replied, they saw nothing unfair ; and desired the fight to proceed. Randall, however, took his man out of the rin; ; and when time was called, Belasco aneared at the watch ; and having no opponent to meet him, he was de clared by the Umpires as the winner. Considerable confu sion ensued. RENARKS.—The frame of Halton appeared more like a man in a declining stste of health, then possessing the coe stitution of a vigorous pugilist. It was the general opinion of the disinterested spectators, that Halton could not heed fought two rounds more. However, the case is so clear, and so firmly and properly decided /by the umpires, that it cannot produce a strangle among any thing like honourable sporting men: all the bets must be paid, sad the stakes of course given up to the winner, Belasco. It will be recol lected, the Birmingham Youth was prematurely taken out of the ring, and on an appeal to the P. C. all the bets were paid; and in the instance when Itsniall took the Bow Boy out of the ring against the opinion of the Umpire, the bets were likewise paid. The simple truth is, that Halton could not have woo the battle, if he had bad twelve hours to do It in: lie has no pretensions to prize fighting. The Jew had not the s,igbtest mark any where about him. DEATH BY BOIINO.-43RIOILTON, APRIL 7.=A Cora ner's inquest was held at the Lord Nelson public-house, in Great Hnssell-street, this morning, on view of the body of poor Smith, who had met with his death in a pugilistic contest with Dan, or rather Daniel Watts, be fore mentioned, on the race down, on Friday. Several witnesses were examined, and the result of the ex smina• • tion was a finding of ",Manslaughter" against Daniel Watts, who is at present confined to his bed. :1 person, a fly-carriage driver, who had proceeded . with a fare, consisting of four gentlemen, to the fight on Friday, underwent an• examination at the Bench this owning.
