Why should Le submit in that event We do Mt comprehend the doubting augury of our totem * • ; any more than we did the . argument that we s h ou ld do nothing for the Spaniards, because their cause wi p e d desperate —the very reason, as it appeared to us, why we should have done the more. Should the news o f these battles prove correct, and it may do so, notwith. s tanding the French do not mention it, the face of affairs win be completely altered. If Moncey is defeated in Catalonia, either a fresh army must he sent from France, e e the troops in Oallicia anti Andalusia most retire upon the frontiers. A few days, we trust, will put an end to all woods of negotiation ; and then the affairs of Spain will be in a right course. Advices from Gibraltar to the 627th ult. announce the at field, on the preceding day, of the British Minister, Sir W. A'Cuurt, h is Lsily, and Suite, from San Luear, on board his Alai -ary l s ship Tribune. Letters from the North of Spain, mention that Lopez Banos was advancing by the line of the Tagus, with a force that was daily irwr-asing, and .it was thought he would push on towards Madrid, by the way of Talavera de Li Itryna. to form a jiinction with El Empecinadia, who was already in the neighbourhood'of the capital, and establish. ed communications with the Constitutionalists left there. lie daily received advices of the movements of the Regency and the l.'l4lA g prison, through the medium of his con fidants. In Estremadura, all the towns through which the French passed. it is said, had risen up, and restored the tablet of the Constitution. Several new guerilla parties were forming, as fast as they could obtain arms. . General Ito ten, who commands in Barcelona, is a Swiss. The Baron de Cardoroielet, who is at the bead of a strong Constitutional guerilla, operating chiefly in the mountains between Arr 'gun raid New Castile, is a 'Belgian. MASSACRE 13 MADRID.—it appears, according to letters of the II di .instont, from Madrid, that the belief of the intelligence of the liberation of Ferdinand prevailed in the Spanish capital, where it was disseminated, with what mo tives cannot be conj., Gored, on no less authority than that of the Members of the Regency, who at the same time issued an order for public rejoicings on the occasion, Tiiis tiles. sore, by unchaining the furious passions of the d-luded rabble, produced in the issue the most fatal consequences. During the niolit of the 1011 i, the fanatic Royalists of all clasp s paraded the wreeta with frightful acelaturtions and menacing gestures. After continuing this conduct till the night was pretty far advanced, the word was given to attack t ar Iwo es of the Constitutionalists. The pillage commenced, being rendered snore easy by the Nomination ; and f r om pillage the mob prolieerled to massacre. No less than IS or '2O persons fell victims to the infatuated and unrestrained fury of the partisans of royalty. They were at length only check-oil by the exer finals of the small body of French troops I remaining io garrison at Madrid. FRENen ilounse.—" It is now generally understood," says a letter from Paris, " that there a ill shortly appear a Royal Ordinance respei tint the troth.; in Realm, according to which sales and purchases fur lime will be legally recog nised, hot that no judgment shall be hail upon arrests in cases of non-payment.

Letters by the Leeward Island Mail were received in Glasgow this morning (Saturday, pith inst.). The crops in the Leeward Islands were amid, but exceedingly late, front the continued heavy rains at the period when the packet paiiled, the first week in Jitly.—(fioagoie Courier.) Joseen lioNar IRTE has fonnded, in the United States, a city called La Ville de Joseph. There are already 5,01./0 inhabitants, mostly French. The Spanish ,brig, Maria Didotes, peso to the Patriot. brig Aguilar, arrived - ;:t liarhailors. June 7th. When cap tured, seven men here put on board, and the original cap tain oas sail: red to remain in the vessel. At sea, a quarre arose, x hen the Si anisli captain, prize-no -der, and three of his crew, were murdered. The report is, titat the Spanish Captain was shot, three of the prize crew tin own overboard, and the prise-master tied down to a ring drove into the deck, placed in all agonizing siinatb n,and starved to death! The ringleolle.r, on arriving off Barb Mites, came on shore, inquired fur a navigator, informed a hat the vessel was, and as the story goes, told the murders i.e had commit ed. The wad was immediately taken possession of, and this man (said to be an Englishman) was committ e d t o p r iso n , and pmt in iron.. His two accomplices acre also soclined.— (Phitodaplics Gaz-eite) An attetnpi is shoat to hr marls in Ifolland to naturalize certain Japanese plants, which the fattish trade with Japan affords faiili•i-s for procuring. in a proper state for ettltiva lion. Though the latittyl-r of Japdt is tar more southerly than the Netheilamis, yet the northern parts of tin it coati try are.vcry mountainous and cold, and it is expectial th .t the plants which grow there as ill he capable of enduring the Dutch climate : it is with then,, therefore, the experi ment is to be made. The Berlin papers boast of a reform which is working in the mode of travelling in Germany. It is stated that the postmaaters are discarding the old sluggish movement with which they have so long been reproached, and endeavouring to emulate the expedition of English mail coarliea. The spirit of improvemeut is said to have extended itself to Bo bentia. A Diligence is established b. tavern Prague and Vienna, which goes forty-too German post miles in thirty nine hours. The Catherine, Swaa, arrived at Greenock from Ilondu• ras, confirms the accounts formerly published of the deplor able condition of the Poyais settlers. On their destitute si tuation beirig ina:le known at Honduras, the chief magis trate, Mr. Bennett, with the great.st humanity, dispatched a schooner to Black River, and in oorr trip, in the beginning of May, brought off WS men, women, and children, in a state of destitution, and perishing ender the noxious in-, flume of the climate. These were part of the emigrants who sailed from Leith in the Kinnersley Castle in January list. At the second trip the schooner brought away the remainder of the people, together oith a Colonel Hall, the Governor of Poyets, and the effects of the emigrants. Every attention and assistance which humanity could aug gat was paid to the unfortunate people at Honduras. Tire emigration to Algoa Bay and to Poyais is one of the strangest delusions that ever entered the mind of man. It is truly unaccountr.ble that people should go ta places of which they know nothing except from interested represen tations,instead of going to Upper Canada, where so many of their countrymen are so comfortably settled.—(Co/edo. ' nice Mercury.) Mr. how°, the popular preacher at the Caledonian- Church, is going down to Scotland to lie married. We have heard, that his great master, Doctor CHAMDERS, CODICS to town to supply the place of his promising pupil, during his absence.—(Morning Chronicle.) On Friday, being the anniversary of his MansTr's landing at Leith, the Magistrates in the forenoon placed a tablet on the spot he first set foot on his Scottish dominions, bearing the followiog inscription :—" Geo. IV. Rex." A crown, " 0 Fclicem Diem."—" Here our Most Gracious Sovereign first touched Scottish ground on Thursday, the 15th of August, 1022. WILLIAM (And), Admiral of Leith ; JOllll Afaerte and (111ORGZ RIMER, Magistrates ; Moon VllTctt, Town Clerk." Upwards of 150 gentlemen, consisting of the Public Authorities and principal inhabi lasts of Leith, afterwards dined in the Assembly Room there, for the purpose of celebrating the anniversary of the leading. rn• ed ire TILE KING. . . His Majesty still rem ain s at his cottage in a sort of in: coArnilo, admitting to' his circle the select and chosen few , who have long basked in the sunshine of Royal favour. For the present it is determined, that on the Ist of Sep tember, the King shall take possession of his apartments in Windsor Palace, which are now quite ready to receive the Royal Party, although the accommodations there are ex ceedingly limited; for it is found impossible, and, perhaps, it would he unjust to dispossess many of the families, who have ocenoieil apartments in the Castle for a great many years. The fleet at Portsmouth, which was equipped for the express purpose of attending the King on his aquatic excursion, has not yet been dismantled, so that we doubt if the sea cruise be entirely given up. Rumour states that the spot on his Majesty's head, from which a small protu berance was so skilfully removed about a year ago, indicates the return of a similar inconvenience, hut of so slight a nature, that his Majesty does not deem a surgical operation again necessary. The King's bodily health has been very good ever since he left tone, and it is greatly improved by the excursions he is pleased to mike 'liana the private drives of the Great Park whenever the weather will permit. Hit. Majesty's love for privacy, so contrary to the habits of his early life, has induced the order fur the exclusion of all strangers from the Terrace whilst be remains at the Castle to be strictly enforced.—(Morning Chronicle.) On Monday the Duke of Dorset left town for Win.;sor, in order to Inspect and arrange the Royal stables and apartments thereunto belonging, for the ifllMPtilee recep tion of his Majesty's stud and livery. William Parker, Esq. clerk of his Majesty's stables, is gone down to assist his Grace in the arrantements.

New CRURCII AT EorNsCrion.—Yesterday (the 15th inst.) the foundation stone of toe New Church intended to be built in Bellevue Crescent, was laid in presence of the , Lord Piovost, Magistrates, and Conned, and a number of the Clergymen of the cite. The Magistrates walked in procession in their robes, from the botto.ti of Duke Street , to the site of the intended building. —(ediabergli 06. , server.) BARNSLEY LINEN Tnine.—We are hippy to find that , the poor weavers who remained so long in this place out of work are now not only become employed, but that a great ntinther of those who were c ttttt riled by the then existing circumstances to seek work in distant places have returned home and retained their labours. On a market day the town rt:ain begins to have somewhat of its wonted ap pearance of briskness and activity.—(Slicffield Indepencl cat.) CAMBERWELL F.ttn.—This mart of toys and ginteer bread is exempt from the fate of the other resorts of the idle se a worthless, which have lately been suppressed in the neighboarlmad of the nietropoli.. On Monday, therefore, A numerous gain of London pickpockets assembled there, acd committed the nt•wit audacious attaeks on the persons and property of other visitors. Among those taken into custody was a daring young thief. only II years old, named Samuel Goddard, who was clutch', while very dexterously uritieing a handkerchief from the neck of a child, who was being , led by an infirm told lady. He tied- that be, and a little boy named Bill Joie s, a playmate of his, had come to the fair, with many others, to pick pockets ; that they ha I stolen ten or a dozen handkerchiefs, but Bill Jones hid them all in his hat. They tried to get several gentle men's watches, but only succeeded in get:ing one, which Bill Jones had also go:. It was agreed that heshould stand at a certain place, and whenever any of the gang made (stole) any thing, they were to take it to him, who deposited it in a 1144. Here he gave a description of Bill Jones, but the of I:iled in tracing him out. The prisoner was j committed by the bench of Magistrates for re-examine . thin, to give the officers an opportunity of catching Bill . Junes. ...Grouse sheering commenced in ereat style on Tuesday.— The. weather in some respects was not prooitioos, but as the high wind made the birds lie close, the slaughter was immense. The number of sportsmen from the south is great beyond all precedent. For some days before, innumerable dog-carts and carriages of all descriptions passing north wards --coddles and noddies piled to " the creek of doom," with baskets and other implements of war, " gare dreadful note of preparation ;" and the loaded packages that are every hour returning from the land of brown leather, show how fatally " each heart it set on bloody coins's," and the " spirit of the first born Cain reigns in all bosoms." The game is not so plentiful as last year, but it is sufficiently so to afford excellent sport, and is in fine condition.—(Pertls . shire Courier.) • An incident occurred on Friday last, on Eden Quay, which is worthy of remaik, as being highly characteristic of the careless enterprise of the Irish. Two country men met accidentally, when the •following dialogue en. • sued:— _ _ • Why then, Pat, is that you? Sure eno igh it is, Jack—how is every inch of yon ? Faith myself is'elegant, only the times is so baJ ; arrsh, then bon is your mother's son? Oh! the devil a use in complaining—l've nothing to do, and that's the reason I'm going over to Liverpool. Al.! what suppose you come—have you any money ? (Putting his hand in the pocket of what appeared to have been originally a pair of breeches).—Whv, I've tour teupen• nies—but what would I do for sea-store? Oh ! come along man, I'll engage we'll make it mit. liy my soul, then, here goes ! And off Paddy and Jack set on the iostent for Liverpool. —(Oublin Aforatng Pose.) Nsw Bata BILL—We are sorry to find that the present Chaeeellor of the Exchequer should so noon have renounced the straight for went policy with which lie commenced MRCP, and have adopted the pettifog ging trick. of his worthy predecessor, for the purpose of nulling the Publit halo a belief that be was anxious to obtain for thens a Getter Beer, but.

THEATRICALS. • --ear— • The Managerinf the Haymarket will do well to remem ber...the danger of being " weary of well doing." The brilliant success of this Theatre, has been deserved by the constant production of exquisite novelties. .The revival of the Africans is not in keeping with the past tans, of the management. it has been threadbare fur years. We ima gine, it would be a very difficult thing to find a prototype in nature for a savage, labouring under a sort of senti mental Hippochondriasis—a melancholy foreboder of mischief like .Yelieo, whom Mr. Commit bad to represent. He sustained the character with consi derable effect, however, but failed in one or two pas. sages where he attempted to cart y all beford him,hy the use of those abrupt transitions, which, when sparingly and judiciously introduced, operate scr powerfully on the midi ence. Mrs. CHATTERIEY could not do otherwise than make an interesting Befits°, and Mrs; C. JONES played and sang very prettily as the black .girl Sulfa. Her duet with LISTON, who, of course, played Mr. Henry Actuates Muff, the ivory turner, from Snow-bill, and Secretary of State to his Mending. Majesty, wa.s loudly encored. His Majesty, after depopulating and devastating the conntry of his peaceful neighbour.. having occaaion to moralize on the evils of war, was represented byour old friend Air: Pore, who did him ample justice. We must not forget Mr. VINING'S 31(111160o which he played with great spirit,nor Miss Horce's Darin° in which maternal affection was well ponrtrayed. Mr. HORGEROW played Torribal, well enough in some parts, but in•others be was wide of his mark. Felten's& was well done by Mr. Williams; and Mr. WTNNE delivered himself very well as Daneare. Mr. HAMMOND'S caricature of Marrowbone was laughable, as the author intended it to be. Mr. YOUNGER, also, acquitted himself well as the benevolent priest Farulho ; but nearly all the principal performers betrayed a want of perfectness in their parts, which was very palpable. - - - We were happy to see the exquisite little Comedy of Simpson and Cu., translated from Drury-lane to this thea tre. It was, in fact, a remove to the native soil —and all the points of genuine Comedy, in which it abounds, told with a ten-fold farce, by the approximation of the actors to the audience. We prophesy it will be a standing treat for the rest of the season. Mrs. Glans, ever lively and ever young, was the repre sentation of Mrs. Simpson, and lost nothing by a compari_ son with the original. Miss CHESTER, was Mrs. Davison's substitute, and she had youth, beauty, and all its attendant charms upon her side. We are determined to sea it our selves, as often as it is performed. MR. UItAIIANI'S BALLOON. The Right of this abortive production was of very short duration, it having fairly grounded at Stamford hill, about four mites from the place of its ascent. l!s weight owing to its size and the material of which it was made, was more than tsso and a half hundred weight greater than the silk balloon by %Odell 31r. Green ascended. Although it had been exhibited for a week at the Pantlian, it had only been filled with atmospheric air, and was found, at the critical moment of trial, Rat altogether impers:aus to the superior subtlety of the gas, the copious escape of a hich was painfully experienced by all present. Under these cir cumstances, nothing. hut a rapid supply of the requisite quantity of gas could have ensured even a partial success. (lad the tube employed on sips occasion, been of a larger calibre, so as to defy by the rapidity of supply, the counter acting op-ration of the escape, there is no question, but the scheme of Monday last would not have failed, and the public would have been gratified by the as cent of the aeronau - s, although not without con siderable risk to themselves. The lists Company to prevent, if possible, disappointment to the public, continued the supply of gas near an hour longer than the time stipus awl until the moment that some persons connected with the balloon released it, by unfastening the cords; and it appears that more than double the necessary quantity of gas was drawn from the works, which would ,mt nave been the case had the balloon been composed of tnaeriala capa ble of retaining gas. All these circumstances, with the in• formation given yesterday at White Conduit 'louse, dis prove any scheme f t disappoint or defraud. TheLindlord, it s c rota, has asserted that Gentlemen had come forward on the behalf of Mr. Graham to guaran-ee the ample repara• tion of himself anti neighbours for the damage dune to their premises and property. And it is also said that it is in contemplation of 31r. G. to ascend shortly in a balloon dif ferently constructed, when he will endeavour by some means to make good his late deficiency to those who were the in dividual losers on account of it. The dilapitlations at White Con kit. House are very great. Not only is the ex ternal paling torn down to the length of 150 yards, and the railings which surrounded the detached shrubberies in the garden are completely demolished, but trees are torn up by the roots, and the glass panes of tt.e summer-house, to the number of upstart's of 130, are entirely smashed.— Mr. ficAlisin is an ingenious man ' who has previously profitteil by his inventions, acid resides, we understand, at the Pantheon, where the public exhibitions of balloons may have probably suggested to him the idea of the late enter prize. - • Amongst the various claimants for recompence upon this occasion is the toaster of a brick field adjoining the pre mises, in which incalculable mischief has been done. Of the rows of onburnt bricks, how many were trodden or broken into the state of their original clay, we cannot pre_ tend to account ; but we are told, and verily believe, that many stately mansions were on this awful occasion stran gled before they saw the light. During the many howls that the populace had to wait for the destined boar of dis appointment, among the various pastimes in which they engaged, that which partook of the nature of the mil.tary skirmish or sham light seemed to be the favourite. The mania for brick throwing spread far and wide, and the flan• gerous missile was every where seen in fearful elevation through the field. Various, and in some instances, ludi crous, were the groups engaged in this novel warfare. In one quarter a row of unfinished houses in the carcase were occupied by those curious to witn•ss the great attraction of the day. Here a fierce contention raged between those who occupied the chimney heights and the ground below. Vic tory was, is this case, soon declared in .favonr of the former, who, although less numerous, were too well posted to be dislodged by their humbler enemy. In an other part of the well contested field (brick field be it remembered) a party headed by a chimney-sweep wes hotly engaged with another under the command of a son of Mars, who bore all his blushing ho nours on him. The dire effects of this contention were not confined to the combatants only—many innocent spectators, upon neat al ground, were invited to paricip.ite in the field exercise of the disputants by the salutation of blows which brought many to the ground and inflicted some very ugly wounds. flow this might have terminated we know not, bad not the general attention been turned to the fate of the balloon, and thus given a new and even more mischievous direction to the predominant spirit. We bars already described the alarm excited' in the Hardens by the fierce attack wade upon the fence. The Tavern inmates fled in the greatest confusion and precipitation without stopping to p ay their reckoning ; and nothing less was ex pected by the proprietors than the total destruction of them selves and their hnilding. Many of those who tell into the hands of the police, to the number of 20 or 39, were yester day disposed of at the different police offices. Mr. William Fri►r, a butcher, of Great Missenden, has a sow only thirty months old, which calved for the second time a few days ago, having in boils cases carried its young the fall term prescribed by the l►ws of nature. - r . ...

OnseavaTioms,-The eondlict of the Jew was the praise and admiration of the Ring, and although in defeat he has raised himself high in the estimation of the Fancy in general. H . : was an inch too short for his opponent, and also a stose at least in weight. Both of the men were in high conditinn.— Sampson stood over his opponent, and he is rapidly improved, not only in his person, hut also in his fighting. He immediate.:y offered to tight any of his old opponents fur 1001. aside, ex • cepting Josh. Hudson. Sampson's exterior did not spew muck punishment. The Second Battle, between Carrol (the Suffolk Champion) and Whittle, a coal-whipper, for 201. aside, afforded lots of laughter, but produced little milling. Hudson and Owen sat. conded the latter, and Crawley and Gybletts, Carrot. Thirty rounds. Twenty-eight minutes had elapsed when the Sandi Champion was pronounced the victor. The Third Battle was over in twenty minutes. Pat. Cava nagh (a new Irishman) entered the Ring with Stockman, for 20 sovereigns aside.

Tbey would have done In calculable damage but for Mr. Pool's presence of mind, who closed the gates, and, from a residence in South America, knew the method of taking those animals. He therefore pro cured ropes and snared them ; still their ferocity became so dangerous, that butchers were procured, who were obliged to despatch them instantaneously to prevent further mischief. It is not yet ascertained from whence they escaped. CORN-ESCHANGE, Aug. 20.—Ticitrivals since Monday are small.
