The King reached this city at eight in the morning. triumphal arch, prepAred in ex pectation of his arrival, was erected at the en trance by which he had to come. The garrison was drawn up on each side of the street, the win dows of the lionscs were ina,plifieently decorated, wed the firing of cannon and ringing of bells con tributed to make Ilia Majv,ty's entrance splendid in the extreme. . Several tn.-lily-caparisoned chargers were in readi ness, in cart His 'Majesty had chosen to enter the city on horseback. All the officiatiog servants of the royal household waited upon Ili:, M ijesty. Soon after his arrival Ills Majesty gave audience to the Archbishop, the Chapter, intendant Cor regidor, the Consulate, the Ecclesiastical Col leges, and Spiritual Communities, together with a number of persons of distinction resident in the city and environs. Ills Majesty conversed a enabi acrable time with each of them ; entering into the particular subjects which related to their ►espective functions. Having taken .op his residence at the Arch- leshop's palace, which adjoins the Cathedeal, His Majesty, soon after the Levee, went to see the Ca thAral, where he we received under a canopy, with all the solemnities justly due to, and usually eb ltived with respect to Royal Personages. At six in the evening His Majesty again gore au dience to the above-mentioned periods, and also to a great number of officers, who hail the honour of being introduced to him. There was a general illumination in the evening, and all these who had the Amour of being admit ted to His Majesty's presen:T, departed to their re spective houses highly trausported with the recrp boo with which he had been graciously plenme.:l to hessour them, and the inte•cst which ld s Majesty took in the concerns of the Uifierent places I►e passed tlirotizb.

DEPARTURE OF BONAPARTE FROM BAYONNE. --WAR BETWEEN FRANCE AND AUSTRIA. We have received Paris Papers to the 27th lust, and Dutch to the ist iustant. They communicate the important intelligence of the departure of Bo- NAPAITE from Bayonne. He left the castle of Merac, in the vicinity of that town, ou the July, in the evening, and took the rout to Paris. His subsequent movements are studiously involved iu doubt and uncertainty. Some accounts state, that he means to make a tour of the South-West Coast of France ; others that he is gout to —At the preseut moment we do not think thut he• has either leisure or temptation to visit Nautes, Brest, and Bordtanx.We believe that he is goue to Paris, but tiaitis not his ultimate destination. More pressing matter calls Inns to the Rhine, and we shall probably ere long hear of his arrival ut Strualturgli.—A Gentleman, who left Holland so late as the evening of Tuealay the 2d instant, re ports, that, ea the preceding day, the AUSTRIAN MIN ter La demanded his passports, and had actually let out for Vienna. He also brings intelligence that die Ambassador of the same Power to the Court of France was recalled, and that General ANDICOSSY had quitted 1 ienna. He " further states that the Frencti troops were pressing in every direction towards the countries bordering on the Duchy -of Austria and kingdom of Bohemia, mud Opt every thing indicated immediate hostilities between Austria and France. The Foreign Pipers communicate several circum "stances calculuied to prepare the public mind for tins fault. The French army is assembling si lently, hot rapidly, on the right bank of the Rhine. Under pretence of perfecting them in their discipline, several corps have already marcked to that quarter, where, under the immediate in- spection of Marshal IiCI.LERMAN, they are pro bably preparing for a new attack on Austria. But it is nut alone in these preparations on the NAPOLSON'S distrust of that power may he per ceived. A large army, and. the neces,ary maga zines, are ordered to be collected at Udine, the capital of Friuli ; and it is probable that the French troops, so long stationary in Dalmatia, were suffered to remain there, to overawe Austria. and not to effect the dissolution of Tnrkey, their ostensible purpose. We have always looked for ward tailor departure of Naebt.aos from lia)inine as the gigolol to announce that theaffairs of Spoil' had taken a decisive turn. It was rumoured last week that JoSFell 1108.trAaT8 had arrived et Madrid on the 20th ult. it is probable he did. An article from that city states he was expected there at that time. He arrived at Burgos ou the t6th, and left it ou the following day.. The honours paid to him at this Oder, the capital of Old Castile,. were of a more nearsificent cast than those which he received Ls the towns through which he itreviously passed. —He here had an opportunity of displaying some of those acts of clemency, which. among a generous and high-minded people, would be likely to gain him more sounterous partisans :kali the army by which he is supported.— He pardoned a number of persons who' hod been concerned iu the late disturbances," for so it is found convenient to call the unanimous determination of the people of Spain to assert their right to have the Sovereign of their ch•ice. NA- PotAtoti may hope to save his credit, and affect to consider the entrance of Josses into the capital of Si sin as the completion or his work ; but the world will not be so deceived. Mach remains yet to be done, much more, we trust, than he will ever be able to accomplish. He has sent his bro ther, under a gourd. to Mcxlrid ; but the Spanish proplc are yet to be conquered. The Muniterts to the tttit6 contain several alterations, as well us new articles that have been made and incorporuted in the Spanish Coustitittioa. We have neither spree nnr leisure to give them at present. They are chief y calculated to conciliate said reeloacile the middle and lower orders to this monstrous usurpation. We understand that the Aloniteurs of the 27th and 28th have been received, but that they contain no intelligence whatever respecting Spain. 'We this day resume our extracts from The Serilk Casette, and The Comm. I)iary. Aiming them is a detailed acount of the battle of Rio Seco, in which the Spanish Patriots were commanded by CUSITA. The advantage appears to have been for a consider able time on their side. A vigorous attack, how ever, by the French, towards the conclusion of the engagement, threw the left wing of the Spaniards into confusion, and deprived them of the honour of remaining masters of the field. This account is given in an article from Bene velar, the proximity of which place to the field of battle furnishes a strong presumption in favour of Ns accuracy. liidted, of the defeat of the. Patriots in this utfair, there can I w little doubt. Of the opera tions of the respettive armies in Leon and Old sub3rquent to the retreat of the Patriots from ANI orga, and the departure of 111611111ERLS from Beucreut., on the ifithk last, we have nri information in the Spanish Papers ; but a letter from Corunna states, thtt official aceouutts were received there on the g9th, of the capture of the city o f Leon by a snail hod). of French troops, without opposition. The most important article in The Seville Ga zette is a detailed account, confirming the victory of the garrison and citizens of N'aleutia over the French army, comma:idea by General liloscev. It wiU be found among our extracts from that palter. Former accounts of this affair state, that of 10.000, the amount of MoNcky's corps, duly effected their escape, and joined General Fakme at St. Clemente. We always considered this loss of the French an exaggeration. The remains of MOXCEY'S army are stated in this account at be tween 2 and 3000. It WWI probably much greater, as the Seville account only speaks positively to a 10-is of from 6 to 7000 on the part of the French. We !Intl from the Spat:kit Papira, and it is ;1143 confirmed by letters from Cadiz, of the lGth ult. that the troops under the command of General Sec/mutt lead not proceeded to join General CAS. TANOS, but remaiued at St. Mary's and Puerto Real, where they disembark:ld. There are strong grounds to fear that Bcsurrtrs will be able to form a junction with Juisor before the arrival of Sir AATILUEL WELLESLEY'S Evolu tion in the Tagus. It is said that he had marched from Zamora, which is life more than IQ tia‘s march from Oporto, and as his force is horn 11! to 14,000 mew, it would not be likely to meet on ot stacle in its way competent to arrest its progrtos. A strong :r, it it aid, has been de- livered by the Russian Minister at the Court of Holland against the application of the principle of the decree for the exclusion of foreign couimme to vessels under tlic Hag of his nation.
