emmilmionsow THWEEHENCY OF UROEL AND THE ARMY OF THE FAITH. The following is an abridgement of a curious detail said to proceed from a very well-informed quarter In eider to appreciate justly the Regency of Urgel, it finicessary to be aeqttainted 'with the places where it hat' been formed, and the persons to whom it has ad idiessed itself. There already existed in Spain hands or wboaeieed every opportunity of rising and of infesting the roads, for want of a more peaceable ores p 'Non. Spain is, of all the countries of Europe, one of tim least ettifised, and that in which industry has made the least progress. There are few great roads, and •several provinces the traveller passes over immense dis tances without meeting with any cultivated laud, or a atingle habitrion. Among a people thus destitute from their want of industry. andposeessed of a lively insagin 'don, it is easy to hod tufa disposed to range the moan teitrs. with oninsitet on the shoulder. These men, united into a band. rosy succeed in molesting but could not baler, an array. Thus it happened with the guerillas ntqmsed to the imperial troops of Napnleon„and with the bands of. the Faith opposed to the Constitutional Army of Aline. The Regency of Urgel was established sin the 'seers of the Pyrenees, the most favourable place for an insurrection, on account of the height of the moun t sins, the niiiery ofibliababi tants. tied the proximity of protection from Fromm, whose Alleistri afford it as much assistance as they 'MY with compromisitig themselves. 'to excite the pending of Ciirdagne, the poorest province of the Pyrennees, Was eat difficult; to obtain some de serted seeress in , vainteissr which were not defended, was not more difficult; and it has been imagined in Enrnpa that the Regency, composed of men of genius. of intrepid chiefs, end fanatic soldiers, was about to uterturn'the Spanish Constitotioaal (iovernment. Yet nothing was ever more untrue. Tare soldiers of the Faith are not fanatic; they are poor and wretched, and are without clothes, throng), Hain' under a rather titmice. (lidded by feelings of mere interest, they lent themselves to the first power which promised them food and clothing. The proofof this is, that they frequently utter cmupluints agaitist the [Weary —that after the apt ore of Poyeerd a they would have greatly ill-treated She King marafivrida. if the French army bad not pre seine,' them ; and that, finally, since the law of the amnesty, -a great number of them has returned to Spain and entered into the army of Mins. • • • • To the peasaistrwhom famine has led to insurrection, Mist be 'welded the smugglers who abound throughout ▪ tie Pyrenneco. and who are more constantly procur able then any of the Insurgents; as to them, all parties fray reckon no them as soon as they bare occasion for • them. . With regard to their leaders. they are not better *hexed thin tie soldiers for the trlumpla of the Faith. There is not among them one man of enlficient eons.- .

It is unnecessary to say more for the purpose of ides arribing the Regency of Urge', and those who direct and otwy it. Its* ofiliers when they entered France were in a state of absolute destitution. With the 'Keep. tion'of some off i cers and some persons who were called gazes of the Regency, nobody wore uniforms. A great'' span of the army was without shoes, and wore only a very eirty kind of dress which is common to the Spantane of those provinces. The fate of the women was most de. adorable ; with great difficulty they proceeded along the node, carrying their children on their backs, or in their avius,antl were frequently obliged to sit down in the snow. exhausted be fatigue and hunger. By their rides travelled Or fat moults, closely wrapped up in warm gowns of all colours, black, gray, white. and browo,anit for the most part mounted on excellent Spanish mules' Vhes gentlemen, called pages of the Regencvaravelleil on lisireelsacir. wit' old wobbles, and sometimes without either ierldisis, /*idle*, we' mindpiy: The Atom* were tissue of Cerdagne, which are badly shaped, but racial lenity is.lepted for travelling in a moontainosis country.

Jas. 9, 19!i3.i RNTLEMRN,—This morning the London pvesoappears to be settling down from a state of rage into a state of gloom. The Vipers have been looking at, turning over, and trying to bite our Petition ; bat, like their brother viper in the fable, they have found it to be &fife ; that is to say, they have found it to be sterling steel, on which they can make no impression. Many of you, gentlemen, bate given your money to WEBB BALL and the " FARM. gas' Joux,tom," ; that deluder and ruiner of the Farmers- That paper is published on a Monday ; and. woold you believe the fart ? while it gives a partial and false: re presentation of the proceedings in Norfolk,. IT beigg xtEr INSEiti"l'llE NORFOLK PETITION. This is an act surpassing in foulness and wickedness the con duct of all the other persons belonging to the Press, aho have acted foully npon this occasion. This" Faux gas' JocuN tt."; this thing that has taken so much money out of time pockets of the Farmers', misrepresents your proceedings. calumniates the person who had the honour to present the Petition for your adoption: but tikes especial care not to let its readers see your petition, front the same motive that the shameless persons at Nor wich wished to prevent you from hearing it. This: essrs.' Rune and Evoss, to whom so may of yon bate been so long giving your money, have read your Petition themselves ; these two printers and publishers, of Badge Row. in London, bare read every word of your fetitiog; but, being unable to say a trord against say part of it ; being enable •to at. seek Hr I they do not insert it. How right then titLSt yon he! G e ntlemen, those who have found fault Of the Petition, seem to have written tbeir commenta ries 6eAre hand. They seem to have supposed that I should bring forward a proposition for the reduriop time interest of the Debt, and for nothing else. TbTy were not prepared to see Mr. Thuilell and Mr. Cole, propose the same Mimi,. and , in a meek more exceptianallie 4oem, log. This has throwo them asbark, se the 1011e call k. They found it awkward to accuse Mr. Cons, Mr. Wormnovss, and all the ree, cf a desire to commit robbery, as they call it. But, not a manor than sm. dertakes to remark upon the Petition point by point.— They cry oat robbery here and there. They exclaim confiscation ; they forget that confiscation is going, on against the Londlords and Farmers ; and they forget, too, that there is not now one single man, who proposes any relief at all for the land, who does not include in Isis project, a Reduction of the interest of the Debt. There is Mr. Witertas; the Messrs. Arrwooo, Lord STOURTOK. These have appeared in pamphlets. There is this vary ‘• " JOURNA L." itself, a hick, io its last number, saps, " we " declare that it is impossible, to read this new produc tion of .Lord Srocarom without being perfectly con " winced and satisfied of the justice, as weU as necessity "of immediate protection AOA I NsT THR CLAIMS "OF TIM I'UNDI4OLDERS; which else. will " speedily absorb the misfile properly of Me kingdom Just twenty years aga. Gentlemen, I foretold that this would be the case. From that day to this. I have neg lected no opportunity of warning the Ministry, the Par liament, and time country. Had my advice been followed at en earlier period, all the cads cities that you now ex perience would have been prevented. There would have been co necessity for measures which hare now become absolutely necessary. The measures that I re commended se reral years ago, would not now be sufficient. The ploughings and harrowings which are sufficient. when a field has but little couch-grass in it, do not suffice when the field has become hematted with that grass. Slight work will not then clean it :. you mast tear the mischievous berb up from the very bottom. The ploughings, the cross-ploughings; the dragging., the borrowings and the burnings must come, or thereis no more crop.— You will observe that our opponenta never take notice of those parts of roar Petition which would render a reduction of the interest of time Debt, an act of which no reasonable fundholder could complain. All our adversaries take care-to say nothing about thitse parts of the Petition. The things which you have prayed for would cause, if they were adopted, neither confusion nor discontent, except, indeed, amongst those who would have taken from them emoluments which they unjustly receive.—Mr. Arrwood (in his letter pub lished in this paper of Tuesday) says, that his is the mild mode of reducing the interest of the Debt, and that mine is the violent mode. It is, in fact, his which is the violent mode; because it would be flagrantly unjest Besides, he does not propose to touch the enor mous sinecures; lie does not propose to apply any p tit of that immense mass of public property, called the Crown lands, towards time liquidation of the public debt. im satisfied that this property would pay off a tenth part of the debt; and, what should it be suffered to lie for, and bring in nothing; to the public, While we owe this enormous debt ? Mr. Arriveow sloes not propose to touch any of that property called Church Property but which is, in fact, public property. Now, I say, Ow here are the means of paying off another l a r ge part o ' the debt. Mr. ATTIVOOD means to reduce the interesi of the debt, and suffer all those that have received grei sums of money out of the loans, to go on receiving kb .. v , tlittle. - grest ,emolomer ta ntoue "t.er tfthi gril l e-4 ig#ii,kbe von'alsered, is a thing tkak lie i will be pep.. isitteat‘O be done. 1 might bia spared etym., Ibe Amiable of writing and you the . tronble of reading , all, thoosela4ters en the an bjere-nf yortertiti cm -; for slot err etiolqiiwclitik lissiyet beep offervl it , / the s hape of argo mini; atilt/it ally part of the petition.

We have this morning received Paris papers to the 7th inst. but they make nu mention of the Spanish Mi nister's rejection of the French pretensions, as stated in the accounts which reached us yesterday from Bayonne. This statement is believed to be premature; for as the Quolidienste observes, " The couriers who have carried to the Spaniels Cortes the notes from Verona cannot have reached Madrid before the lst inst. The Cortes therefore eau only now, at most, be engaged in discuss ing what line of conduct they shall pursne tinder pet• sent circumstances, and the result can hardly be known beforethe 12th or 15th of this month." An extraordi nary courier who left Madrid on the evening of the 29th ult. reached Paris on the 4th inst. At the tims,of slepaiture from the Spanish capital, neither the French, nor the Prussian, Austrian, or Rassian comma- We/diens had been received. The Ministers and the Council of State, he stated, were Dot entirely agreed re•. %feting the Treaty of Alliance with Portugal. The late* was understood to oppose its ratification. In the sitting of the 27th ult. the Cortes adopted the various articles of the project of law relative to the government of the provinces, sod in that of the next day those whicb wooed new military regulations. The Ustirernal of the 28 thmontai n ed the following artid e, which is given by the Quotedienne as a specimen cf the spirit which animated all Spaniards. „ The rumours of war which have lately spread from the capital to the provinces have produced the same effect on the inhabitants 'of Seville as on all good Spaniards. Let as die rather than yield to Op pression, was the general cry." Accerding to intelli go4tof the 31st nit. from Bayonne, Torrijos emulated Itliptin skill and activity. He had p d O'Donnel so closely, that the latter considering that all was lost on. less be should retrieve his affairs by a bold movement, endeavoured to cross the Ebro at different points and to throw himself into Arragon. Torrijos, however, had anticipated this ma/louvre and foiled every attempt by the ability of his dispositions and the rapidity of his marches ; so that unless it should succeed in regaining the French territory, this last fragment of the troops of the Faith was expected to meet with a still more deplorable fate than the " army" to which it belonged, and of which it nes considered as forming the right wing. All the places which it had occupied had been retaken. On the 29th ult. the Constitutional Colonel Asura had carried Honest, after having destroyed between 300 or 400 insur gents who had been left by O'Dunnel to defend that position. Only thirty are said to hive effected their es cape to St. Jean•Pied-de•Port, and that in a most wretch ed condition. The same Constitutional Officer had also regained possession of Barbastro, where he had foetid large magazines of provisions, ammunition, and arms, the loss of which, at this time of the year, would alone be sufficient to compel the Insurgents to evacuate the country, even hail their military reverses been less com plete and disastrous than it is evider,t they have proved. In France, however, the spirit of the Spanish Hoplists still meets with encouragement. At an entertainment elven thenther evening by the new Minister of Foreign Affairs, M. de Chateaubriand, which was attended by a great number of persons sf distinction in tile various tic parttnents of the State, lienz , ral Quesa.la was presented to his Excellency by General Dannadieu. The Ultra spirit seems manifesting itself more than ever of late, in different shapes in Paris. As one proof of it, we give in another column an extract from the Quolidienne, con• t■ining a string of dogmas on Ultra politics and a war with Spain, from the pen of a M. de Boland, supposed to be Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
