" I am persuaded that you will regard the expressions of my bean rather than well-chosen words, which come merely from the lips. " The moment is come in which I em to take the oath to the Constitutional King of Spain. to bis Government, and to the Spanish Nation, during the war which it has to maintain against the French Government, not against the French na tio*, in defence of its independence, and of the rights of all • free men. For this I have left my country, and whet is Roost dear to me, and suspended my duties as a Member of the British Parliament. Yes, my companions, we have .ceme to combat at your aide, end to shed our blood, if ne cessary, iii defence of a comma and so ooble a cause. Let us hope that our example will have some influence on the erring children, unworthy of belonging to Spsio, who are waging a sacrilegious war against their mother cenntry, to impose on her the moat disgraceful chains, through the slave of slaves. All the English anticipate your hopes and send meow; This will not he the first time of my combatting on the side of the brave Spaniards. In the last war of inde pendeuee I lied on various occasions many thousands of them under my command. and in the field of Marso I learnt to ap preciate the rare and illustrious qualities of this invincible tuition. In the war, pretended to be in favour of the lode prrtemace of Europe, I gained the insignia which I wear, and' which are not due to the favor of the Allied Sovereigns, nor * reward for senile actions ; I and many others have been deceived by them, since, instead of being the liberators and protectors of European independence, they have become .un just and despotic Sovereigns. I have placed my insignia over she nniforin of a Spanish soldier of liberty, to shew that it is not I who have ebandonal my-principles; but that it is they who have violated the obligations contracted with their subjects, with their Allies, and with the whole civi lized world. " Now, in the sacred name of my country, in the pre - Bence of my God, and before those Banners of Liberty, I re vest his Excellency to receive from me and my compl• pions the Oath to defend them."

Erskine, two French, and two German Officers, all for the purpose of joining the Spaniards against the French. They were received with enthusiasm, and a discharge of artillery , from all the sh;ps and batteries; at night they were sere naded according to the Spanish custom, and the town was illnminated. On the following day they attended, by p rticular request, at the Convent of St. Francisco, to hear Mass, for the souls of the massacred at Cadiz, af ter which the whole of the troops were ordered out fur the inspection of Sir Robert.

At Pontredese they were received by the Magis trates and soldiers in the same manner, besides which they were met by young ladies in a triumphant car, who placed a crown of laurel on Sir Robert's head, and con ducted him into the town .amidst the rejoicings of the people, discharges of at tillerv, " MAY 15.—" Sir Robert Wilson and the British Offi cers arrived at Coronae on the 10th, where they were received tvith every demonstration of joy; they will de• pelt from thence this day for Logo, under an escort of a troop of cavalry.

MONDAY EVENING. MAY 26, 1823. ,THE BILL FOR LEGALIZING THE SALE OF GAME. The Code of Lsws existing in this Country, generally known; by the name of the Game Laws, is unquestion ably the remains of Institutions introduced by our feudal ancestors, and, though the principles on which the. Le gislator. has professed to act, have been different at dif• ferent times, ore object has been ,kept steadily in view, namely, that of pieventing 'the destruction 9f Game by any p .rvot that could not be considered as belonging to the aristocracy of the Country. Oa the policy or motives la which these laws or any of them had their 'ESMA N. • littlin if is wet it all material at prises% to enter.' They pt tbelteed .at a period when this wintry *as thinly ittedpetit when there were extentiew' Conte*, woods, sad wastes in the hands of the Cristen, unprotected by the vigilance of any private occupier, and over and breugh which, every person assumed a kind of licence 'range at pleasure, and destroy or kill what wild ani mals he met with; and it is now perfectly immaterial *hither the Legislative restraints on their destruction "Were imposed for the purpose of preventing the idle and profligate from mis-spending their time, or far the more probable purpose of preserving them for the amusement the tables of the great. A new order of things Vois arisen. The face of the country and the nature of its inhabitants are changed; and the animals which were feamerly the inhabitants of wilds and wastes, are now Weld in cultivated parks and paddock., and instead of being found only at the tables of the great landed mo prietors, are met with at those of wealthy citizens, in spite of prohibiting statutes, and will so long as the price obtained for the article offers an adequate temptation to the poacher to risk discovery and punishment. The high price, and the ability of the poacher to obtain game in a considerable quantity at a time, operate as premiums for encouraging poaching, as high duties are premiums for the encouragement of smuggling ; and legalising the sale of game by landed proprietors, will have no more effect in preventing poaching, than liceasing merchants to sell spirits has to prevent smuggling. I !Weed, it is much easier to put an end to the latter than the former. Repeal all duties on spirits, and the smuggler is ruined. But suppose game is !wide private property, the legal owner could not meet the poacher in the market. That poaching is an evil, and the parent of ma nifest evils cannot admit a doubt ; and as such it would be very desirable to prevent it.—fire, question •tlsen immediately presents itself in what manner it cant—ln the first place there is an open market for the products of the poacher's labour. That market must therefore be suppliel, and at a price which will ruin the poacher; and this can only be done by one of two ways, that is, either the legal supply must ex ceed the demand, or the article must be rendered so scarce as to make it impossible to be procured by the poacher so as to yield is profit. If those who wish to monopolise the (lame will furnish a sufficient supply for the market at such is price as to prevent an adequate re turn to the poacher, his depredations will be immediately limited to the supply of his own consumption, which can make no great impression upon a stock adequate to the ilemand of our populous and wealthy cities and towns, and, indeed, even that will he diminished in proportion to the cheapness of other provisions; on the contrary, if the stock of wild animals to be so far reduced as to render it impossible for the poacher to take a sufficient number to answer his purpose. Now with respect to the Bill before the House it ap pears imperfect in principle and confused and defective in plan—The spirit in which it is framed, is that of at tempting to secure to owners of land, the exclusive property in the wild animals. Irons chooses to stock his estate with hares, no person ought to interfere with him, hut then his hares have no more right to eat his neighbour's turnips, than his sheep hare, It follows then, he must fence diem in, and if be do so fence them in, why has be not as much right to punish a man fur stealing a hare from him as a lamb ? —Let the principle be avowed that any person has a right to stock his laid with any wild animals he pleases, so that he pre vent them tresp3ssin; on his neighbour ; but let itibe observed, that lie has no more right to eat his neighbour's corn by means of his pheasants, than he has by his turkeys; end another person has clearly as good a right to damages for one trespass, as the other. As the Bill now stands, there is a covert repeal of some of the qualifications to kill game now existing, or it is intended there are to be two descriptions of game certificates, one to kilt and tell game, the other to kill game but not to sell and it is not easy to discover how the retail dealer is to And out.before he purebases,whethertbe person offering him game for sale possesses the two requisites required by the pro• posed Bill, viz.—A qualifica:ion and a certificate authorizing him;to sell game. Again is the power of s 'arching the per sons and premises of unlicensed and unqualified persons, to extend to all persons unqualified according to the present Bill. The eldest son, for instance, as such, of a nobleman, could not, under the present Biil, be entitled to a certificate to kill and sell gases ; are he and his premises therefore, lia ble to be searched 7 In short, from the manner in which the present Bill is framed, it is impossible to say if ft p ISM Into 'slaw, what will be its construction, when considered in conjunction with the laws already in force.

Arrived at the branch of the road which leads to qesteltersol, I found St. Priest's brigade in position. waiting for the return of a recon noissance, directed to the latter village. "This reconnoissance being waived far too long, I in doomi General St. Priest to continue his march on Mom whence General Ls Roche Aymond bad written that he was driving a corps of 100 men before him. General St. Priest had scarcely quitted his position with the 2d regi. meat of the line, when the reconnoissance arrived, and announced that the enemy to the number of 3000 troops of the line occupied the position of Castelt•rsol. 1 im mediately ordered the 12th light infantry and tse batta lion of General Romagosa to advance on that village. from which we were about two leagues distant, announc ing to the troops that I would follow them in person with two battalions of the 18th.

That enemy, during the four hours which were occupied is drawing him from pc. sition to position, maintained uninterruptedly well-support ed battalion fires.

" I recommend to your favour the three chiefs who were at the head of the columns, in order that they tnay obtain from his Royal Highness the reward due to their noble conduct. I have the honour to be, &e. “ DON NA DI EU." Such is the form in which Donnadieu's despatch ap pears in the Ilfoniteur. It is understood, however, that the French wioistera took the liberty of omitting the conclusion of the letter, which stated that " the firing ofmasketry still continued. Such as it is, it indicates any thing bat a victory. No mention is male of prisoners, of cannon, or of baggage taken, and the only result stated of this vectors, as it is called, is a hope that Don naiieu end Erodes would mike an attempt against Mina. We must wait for the Spanish account of this affair be fore we can learn the truth. It had been asserted, prevd ous to the publication of these despatches, that a very warm action had taken piece, and that " the French army," though victorious, " had sustained a very violent sad murderous shock."—The lioniteur contains an ac count of the French naval force employed ag atilt Spain, which is stated to consist of two squadrons. One cruises in the bay of Biscay, under Rear A lmiral Hame lin, who has sent a strong division to blockade Ca die. The other, commanded by Rear Admiral Itotours, is employed in the Miditerranean. —Private letters assert, that wheu the Prince Generalissimo reaches Madrid, he (or else the Generale of the Faith under his orders) will immediately convoke a Chamber of Gran dees, or Peers, in the name of the King ; that this Cham ber will invite the Duputies of the Cortes to • join them in forming, with the concurrence of the King, a Legis lative Body, consisting of two Chambers, and that the Ministers of Russia, Austria, and Prussia, will . proceed to Madrid, and acknowledge, as proceeding from the King, the Constitution that remodelled.

From the Royal Garotte, which has been received to the 13th of April, we learn that a . report of the defeat of the Royalist troops uy the Colombians is confirmed. On their march to Rio de la Bache they were met by General Slontillos who routed them, taking 409 prisoners. Morales bas declared the removal of the Volicade of the ports of the Main, cccopied by the Colombians ; bat foreign vessels which may bring into the said ports, arms, ammunition, or implements of war, or adventures who may come for the pnrp .se of waging War against the subjects of his _Catholic blajesty will be treated as enemies. By the !dab papers received this morning, we are eel. cerned to find the ontrages in the neighbourhood of Lituerick have assumed a more than usually daring cia• racter. On Monday last au attack was made, at les o'clock in the morning, on the house of Robert Derawlin, Esq., which was plundered of arms; and on Tuesday, is the middle of the day, a party of insurgents went to the house of Mr. Townsend, at Farrahee, near Kildorrerr, and took several stand of fire-arms from thence. Eleven men were apprehended on suspicion of the former ss• sault, four of whom have been identified, and conimitted to prison. blocs 11ICHANGE 13 O'CLCClL—Console opened this morning at 8O (or Money, and 81 for the Aeenutt.

These laws have been applauded . and recognized in Europe, by the very Powers which now pretend to invalidate their just and must glorious origin.
