7 V :k EI:oM TitE aIoNITKUR OF MONDAY. ARMVOF THE PYRENERIL—BULLET I N. Collet Molitor. commanding in chief tbe2ol corps, report to hi. Itoval Highness, that having directed Lieut.-General itonnemairs, who was at Ram to march on Malaga by Almeria and tire sea' coast, ow the purpose .of desiVOYing the enemy'. corps still existing in that quarter, whiletieneral Loveredo was to march direct against Riego, who occupied Malan, in consequence of his having super seded Zayas. this double operation has had the most favonrable result.. General lionnemains arrived on the 2fith of August at Gador, and found there a flair of truce from Brigadier I:nendulein, cononandi pg. a deraehment of Itierro's corps in the environs of Almeria. 'That officer had constantly en deavonred to disturb our lin- of operations, to connect himself with the detachments from the garrison of Cartha ;sena. and had hitherto refused to listen to General Bulbs teros's argent recommendations to him to make his sub. niissien. General lioenemains therefore rejected his pro. positions, and intimated that he ronld only be regarded as a prisoner of war. He submitted to this condition, alone With the 700 men be commanded, among whom arc 190 officers, and Almeria was ocenpied on the 270. We found there several pieces of artillery, and ammunition of every kind. The Bishop. the Magi. tratee, and all the pmoilation, turned out to meet the troops, and gave them the most flat tering reception. Another column belonging to the same corps. and CM vannied by Col. Sall:tells held the position of L'gyar.— ('amp Marshal Levavasseur ordered it to be attacked by Pe men of the Stir Light, under the rbirf of battalion Ta. 'slant. It was routed, left an officer and live wounded pri a ates on the field of battle. and was soon compelled to sur render to the number of 410. among whom are two colonels r 1 officers. The skeletons of the 4th, 3Sth, anti 53.1 of the line, which were in the environs of Almeria, vo luntarily made their sobtuission, and were marched to Gre nada with the p. isonera. Gen. Bonnemeins having left a garrison of Royalist • troops in Almeria, continued his march by Motril, where he arrived on the 4th. In this expedition he gave fresh roof* of his zeal. Ile particularly praises Col. de Choiseul of the 19th Chassenrs for having perfectly seconded him.— Mconwtiles Ben. Lnyeredo, who left Grenada on the 30th, with five battalions of infante', two reoinicnts of csealre, anti seven pieces of artillery, directed his marsh on Malaga. lie arrived there on the 4th. 'Geese li id gone off during the preceding night, with about '2,:d:o men. The troops which remained there under the command of Gen. Portia were mails prisoners. They were in number 145, including 112 artillery men, 20 offieers, and 130 horses. Gen. Per as and his staff had the same fate. Gen. St. Ulla:nails having . dispatched in the direction of Velez Malaga the 20th Chas sears, supported by a squadron of the 10H1 Dragoons,' ese troops charged the enemy's cavalry along nearly three leagees, and took a regiment, called the King's Dragoons. l's colonel, a lieutenant-colonel, and a chief of squadron, Id officers, and 140 privates mounted, and besides a fine aqua dron of horse artillery 100 strong. On leaving Malaga, Riego had sent off, under the con voy of a brig and an armed vessel, 10 large boats with hostages, and the money raised in the country. Immedi ately on his arrival, Gen. Loveredo dispatched two gun boats in pursuit o. the convoy, which they overtook, and compelled the armed vessel, and eight of the boats, to return to port. Riego took the road to Velez Malaga, hoping, no doubt, to gain Carthagena ; but the movement of General Bonnemains obliged him to throw himself into the moun tains, and Count Molitor has taken measures for pursue ing him. The operations of the siege of Pamprluna commenced on the 3d of this month. To enable the engineers to recon• noitre the approaches and to open the trenches, it was ne cessary that all the enemy's outposts to he driven in. Mar tha' Lauristoo accordingly caused an attack to be made on the imbued). of La Roehappea and La Magdelaine, the con vent of San Pedro, and the Casa Blanca, situated on the Tolosa road, by the 7th division, commandsd by General Viscount Junin. The attack commenced at five in the morning, and at half-past seven the two suburbs were oc cupied by oar troops, who, under a shower of grape shot, carried the houses, which were loop-holed and entrenched, l with the greatest intrepidity. On the other hand, the 12th division, commanded by Lieutenant-General Pechense. acted in concert with tire Spanish division of Lieutenant- General Count, d'Espana: The enemy, driven from all hie positions, was obliged to take refuge in tie fortress. [Here follows a eulogy on the conduct of the officers and men employed in those preliminary operations, which, not withstanding the difficulties to be surmounted, cost only S killed, and GO wounded. The loss of the eneary could not be known, the fighting having occurred under the w a l ls of Gm fortress.] M. Head-quarters, Port St. Mary, Sept. 12.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. A Quarterly Oeneral Court of Proprietors of East India Stock was yesterday held at the Company's House, in Leadenhall-street. The minutes of the last Court basing been read, The Chairman (W. Wmaam, Esq ) proceeded to lay be fore the Proprietors a variety of Papers which had been presented to Parliament, since the last General Court. Ile also submitted to the Court sundry documents relative to 11 4 ileyboryt.:oPege. Mr. Hume took the opportunity of inquiring whether toy report had been drawn up by the last College Commit tee It would be satisfactory to know how the College bad been conducted during the last h alf y ear ; whether it 'had been conducted quiet and peaceable, and free from dis turbance. The CHAIRMAN had the satisfaction to state to the Court' that at the last visitation, which occurred in June last, the situation of the College was in every respect entitled to praise. Mr. flume wished to know whether any a lteration hail been me.le in the statute? They had been told by the late Chttrman (Mr. Paulson). that the recent disturbances in the College were under the consideration of the College Committee, who would be prepared at an early period to lay the result of their inquire before the Court. Under these circumstances he shoal:lW glad to learn whether the Committee bad come to any determination, and what it was ? The CHAIRMAN answered. that the College Committee bad made a report on this subject. It was now before the Court of Director; but they had not thought it necessary to alter any of the College Statutes. Mr. Hume inquired, whether there was any objection to produce that report. The CHAIRMAN was sure the Hon. Proprietor would not press for the production of a document on which the Court of Directors had not founded any proceeding. After a few words from Mr. It. JACKSON and the Chair man, the conversation dropped. Mr. Hume asked how many Cadets, exclusive of those in the College bad been sent out to India during the last year ? The CHAIRMAN answered, that 131 Cadets had been ap pointed to India, and 35 appointed to the Military Semi. airy—making a total of 166. Mr. Husse strongly impressed on the Court of Directors the necessity of adopting some means by which every U TIIE STATI man ukoMiliet• sent out to India shotild be cann y instrnbted VI the Oriental lartenage. _ te CHAINSIOI seas then about to pot the question'of ad rn m qv + wit . . •Wei-Hurat rose, alitrlitiving referrer! to what had fallen from Mr. PeUy t a former General (limit, relative to site ease of Mr. John Ilinde Pelly, entered into ft tiefro2e q Chit couriehe tiOrSifitl with respect to the grant which bed been proposed to the latter Gentleman, and contended that every statement. he bakeendeowas borne oat fry doenments.

STOCK EICRANGE, 12 o'CLocrt.— Consols opened this morn-1 ng nt tint for the Account, but owing to the want of Weill gence from Paris up to this hour, the market appears heavy. and Consols are sellers at ft 3 for money, with little doing. A report prevails that a ship of the line, and three frigates have been ordered to sail fray Portsmouth in great haste, and their 'destination is not known. 13y some it is supposed their destina tion is South America. Another report also prey:tile that owing to the intrigues of the Russian Cabinet in the affairs of Spain, a fleet is to be fitted out. It was stated early this morn ing, that the French Rentes had come to 90, 2.i, but we could not trace the report to any authentic source. FOREIGN Ft:NOS.—Scarcely any business doing ln the above market, except in Columbian end Spanish ponds. The Go vernment having appointed Consols to South America, has given great satisfaction to our merchants. Colombian, 57 to L—Old Spanish, 251 to I—New Spanish, 291—French Scrip, 2 to I—Russia, 231. German papershave reached us this morning, to the 19th inst. of which the following are extracts VIUNNA, September 11.—(Prom the Court Gazette.)— Oo the Sth of the month the P.ipil Nuncio Count Leardi, had the honour to present to his Majesty, in a private au dience, the customary letter °like Sacred College. for the notification of the death of his Holiness Pope Pius VII.— His M sjesty, profoundly afflicted at the loss of a head of the Church, distinguished for his virtues, wisdom, mild ness, and heroic firmness, had not waited for this formal notification, to give the necessary orders for performing in all the metropolitan churches of the empire, the solemn funeral service usual on such occasions, and at the same time the reading of public prayers for the happy issue of the approaching conclave. On the same day the Commander,. . Nacarro d'Andratle, who was formerly mbastador Extraordinary, and Minister Plenipotentiary, from the King of Portugal, to this Court, who was recalled after the restoration, which took place in Portugal, but is now reappointed to the same post, had the honour to deliver to His Majesty, his new credentials. VtexNs, SEPT. 11.—The departure of the Emperor is fixed for the ISth. His Highness Prince Metternich, with a few attendants, sets ont far Czernowitz on the 15th. It is thought that His 514 j .sty will be here again by the 24 - th October. The last letters from Bucharest, which are of the 31 s t of August, say that the Turks were preparing to cele brate, with many solemnities, the great victories which they say they have gained in the Mores. The next letters from Constantinople will probably inform us what we are to believe of this story. Iler Majesty, the Duchess of Parma, passed through Salzburg on the 4th, returning to her dominions through Tyrol. HANOVER, SEPT: S.—Councillor Falke, who was MUD ber for Hanover of the central Committee of Enquiry at 3layence, has returned here, and it is said will not return to Mayence. His Majesty's Secretary, Mr. Cruse, remains at 3layence for the present. - - SWITZERLAND, SEPT. 12.—The great council of the Canton of Tessin, in its last extraordinary session, accepted an eventual capitulation with the Kingdom of Naples, which has been very lately concerted between the Depu ties of the Canton, and a Neapolitan Commiisioner. Riego has begun to emulate the activity of Milano. is true, that the French already boast of baring put Mtn "completely to the rout;" but they have so often routed 1 Milan' and dina, without being able to terminate the ' contest, that we do not think any thing unfavourable can be drawn from their statement. After leaving Malaga. Riego made a movement upon the cantonments of the corps of Ballasteros; and it is admitted that 'tame" of the soldiers of that army went over to him. Bellasteros himself is represented as having been made prisoner ,by aAN Issru-am . Riego ; but,,, jest "in the nick :of time," as De : Slop has. it, • a French corps rame•• Ppt and put Rier. AO - toits,_ The account howeser cletes , not add ~ w hatw a lapuld have beep the consequence of such a reht;•n6.mely, the liberation of Raliasteros ; and we are left to imagine that ftiego nits iway with Ballasteros t upon his back. One thing is evident, that Riego cannot look upon a cause as desperate, wbea. be ventures to take the field, and commence operations in the interior. The abandonment of Malaga," as it is called, was in reality taking the field ; and it might as well be said that the Doke of Wellington abandoned Brussels, when lie left it to fight the battle of Waterloo ; but the New Time: faithfully re pests all the French accounts of their own situation ; and, rejoicing that Riego is so near his fate, he recommends that be should be brought to justice for his atrocities, without stopping to reflect that be must first be brought withi the power of the French. We should not be surprissd to bear that the truth of this affair will turn out to be, that nearly the whole of th'e French have ranged themselves tinder the command of Riego, who left Cadis for the ex press purpose of repairing the mischief occasioned by the folly, or treason, of the former Mficer. On the P.!th instant it was not known on what day Cadiz would be attacked ; but the 1)oke d'Augouleme bas remov ed the French head quarters from Port St. Mary to Chicla oa—that is from the north-east to the south-west of the town. This sheers that the boasted preparations for attack were not completed ; and it begins to be almost a matter of doubt whether Cadiz sill be attempted by storm. Time en terprise, on a close inspection of the dangers to which it must expose the assailants.may freeze " French valour," before the experiment is made. Should the resistance be at all adequate to the means of resistance, the slaughter would be immense. 1 1 To !bete time efficacy of the French blockade of the harbour, it is said that they have actually captured fifty vessels laden with provisions, in avemptiag to enter. This is not so many as entered Cadiz in one night in July; and shows that the blockade must have been a mere farce. It has ne• ver been pretended that the town was in any want of sup plies, which must have been the case, had time blockade been effectual. A few days must put an end to all speculations on time fate of Cadiz, for this campaign. Time season is rapidly approaching when the entrance by sea will be clear, and then time land blockaders may lay before the walls as long as they find any amusement in his business. The French papers tell.us that the New Congress will not meet to deliberate upon the fate of Spain, because all discussion relative to that country is at an end: but that it will have to take the state of other countries into consider ation. We should not be surprised if England were one of them ; and that a forms! request should be made to us, for certain improvements of our Constitution, to please the caprice, or ease the fears of despotism abroad. They have already found us weak and mean enough to drive foreign ers accused of the crime of entertaining liberal opinions, from our shores; but this may not content them now. They may demand that native offenders of this description may be also banished—that the British Press may be manacled in the continental fashion; and that all such institutions as did not emanate from the will of the King •should be abolished, as derogatory to the Royal character. If they put their threat in execution, of pre. paring a system of government for every conn , ry, of course it will be offered to our acceptance; and the consequences of a refusal may be an invasion by a hundred thousand Russian champions of kgitimute government and social order. The various proclamations against Spain and Naples will do to the letter, with the mere alteration of the names, for a jfistiiicatkm of an ir.:•asion of England : sad there could be got up as pretty a regency here, supposing our Liberals should run away with the King, as need be wished for. We hear that our Govern went has mustered sufficient courage to indicate an intention of a partial recognition of the South American States ; and that Consuls are to be sent out forthwith, to represent this country in a formal manner. We are glad they have taken our hint before the French have expressed any n o inion upon the subject ; and we now trust that there will be no delay in sending them out. The projected Meeting of merchants trading to that quarter is not the less necessary on account of this intention of the Government ; for it would he advisable to obtain a full recognition of the independence of South America; and as the Cabinet seems now in a tolerably good humour, this is the time to press the demand. A paper of this morning attributes to the presence and exhortations of Lord Nugent at Cadiz, the determination to reject all negotiation ; but, although his Lordship de serves great praise for repairing to the scene of the strng gle between the infant Hercules of Liberty, and the r‘rpent that would destroy it, yet we cannot believe that, any prompting was requisite, to enable the Cortes to perceive that where there could be no guarantee fir the perform ance of the stipulations, there could he no treaty. Tt.e very rudiments of policy must have pointed out to the Cores, that their safety depended upon their resistance to the hat t extremity. We have the satisfaction to announce to the Public, and particularly to that portion of the mercantile interest of this country which is more immediately engaged in the trade to Smith America. that Consuls have artnally been appointed to several of the Sauth American Sta.e*, on be half of Ureat Britain. Our Readers are awes e that in re;•ly to an application on the part of a burly of Merchants, for the appointment of British A Fents in these States, Mr. Planta. the Under Secretary of Mate for Foreign AffAirs, htated that the establishment of Consuls iu them was then under tlse consideration of Government. We have now only to congratulate the Mercantile Interest on the adoption of a Measure so bentficial to their interests, :Ind to exp:ess our hope that it is only pr , p tratory to the full recognition of the independence ;If the Swath Americas Governments by Great Britain. This information having trans?ired in he I,sity yesterday. it bad the crect of advancing Golomblaa Bonds between one and two per cent. —(3lcratag Post.) - letters.fromliavannah, dated the 14th of August, and received yesterday, mention that the place was in a great 'Late of confusion, an extensive conspiracy having been discovered, which had for object to throw off the supremacy of Spain, and direct an independent Government in the island of Cuba. Numbers of arrests ha 1 t ikut place. Al lesions are also made to Mexico being in a very disturbed state. We understand the Noble Marquess at the head of his Majesty's Government in Ireland has communicated to the King's Nlinisrere, that with the lengthening of the nights, he lots reason to expect a renewal of those scenes of :1, , s s tation and horror which took places in that devoted country during the last year; and "that Ministers are busied watt the , liges ion of measures which, without endengerinz the stability of the system which nemessarily engenders all the atrocities, mly have the effect of restraining theta within certain bounds.—(Morniag Chronicle). We learn, from a gool source, that there will he no Congress (properly so called) this year. The two Eat. perurs of Russia and Austria, who have matters to ar range which it might not be proper for third parties to overhear, intend to keep the assignation which they have made, hut no on t has hears invited to join them. The Einperor of Austria gees immediately to Milan foe the winter, where arranateinents have for some time been made fur himself and his Court.—(ltid.) Letters from Copenhagen of the 13th inst. mention that at a dinner recently given in Christiana by Count de San dell, the Viceroy of Norway, to a party of gentlemen Warne thepostof governors of Swedish provinces, some expressions uttered by him in relation to Sweden were thought so per sonally insulting to the company present, that its less than nine of them sent him challenges the next day. It was not known whether the Count accepted the chailenges or not. Accordingto recent letters from Stockholm, the Swedish Government is about to propose to the Diet the commutes ition of the pensions assisrnsd to Gustavus IV. and his fa laity, for the payment of sum adequate to their value, thus extinguishing the annual charge which the Govern lament ills imposed on itself for that purpose. By a letter in a paper of this morning, we learn that person who had been formerly secretary to the Spanish Le gation in London, bus most infamously deserted the cause and service to which he had professed to be enthusiast' cal ly attached. He requested, it appears, of M. Jobe. to Ice him go into the country for a few days, on " a party of pleasure ;" days passed, weeks succeeded ; no news of his came, but a kind of report that he had gone to put himself under the auspices of his Excellency the Duke of San Car. l os, Ambassador of the Infantado at Paris. But our woe thy secretary bad outrun even report, lie had become tile t confident of his Grace, and hastened with the glad tidings to " his Despotic Majesty's Court" at Madrid. Arrived a t Bordeaux, with true diplomatic finesse, lie wrote to M. Ja hat, that tiled of public employ he had determined to re tire from ' life's busy scenes,' and remain in tranquillity at Paris;" he forgot that the exterior of his letter marked with falsehood its contents. Having under the disguise of his Constitutional professions, won the confitleace of thou around him, lie thereby became a useful agent to the mini , ten of corruption. It is some consolation to know that the traitor was not a native Spaniard. Fine.—About 12 o'clock last night a fire broke out the house, No. 33, Speldhurst-street, Burton Crescent, copied by a Mr. Bomberger (from Paris). The faiiiilybai retired a short time to rest before the fire broke out in th parlour, where all the stock in trade, ioclinling Freed worked dresses, embroidered cambric handkerchiefi, f&a were deposited. Mr. Bainherger was the first to eicar, from the house after the alarm of the watchmen, by wines aid, and the kind exertions of some neighbours, theinmate were rescued from death in their night clothes, but Se without some of them being severely hurt. Two of the dill.
