Every thing is ready for the departure of His Imperil Majesty. An order of the day, strictly forbids the soldiers to appear in the streets, after They will not be allowed to go singly to the Theatre, but in corp. under the conduct of serjeants, who will pre sent at their entrance a list of the names of the ilet. bons, and the permission of the Chief of the corps. This order has been occasioned by some excesses committed by persons unknown, disguised as sal diets. ►IADRID. SIFT. 29. We learn that a numerous t.inforcemeut of Poles hate =Wed Spain, by way of Bayonne. I".ey are to be immediately followed by other troops. It is well known that great discord prevails in the Junta of Seville, and that parties alternately over throw and succeed each ether, according as they are more or less blindly obedient to the Marqui, IVellesley, Plenipotentiary, and, what id still more, cashier of England, to the members of that fac tious agsembly. It is asserted, that, finding an ap pearance of resistance in some of those who posses?, the greatest influence, and who have already sold themselves to him, he has threatened to print a statement of the prices at which he purchased their subeervieuee to the will of the Cabinet of St. James's. and their consciences. Cho official Visectie has pahlidied a letter, which oecurately delitseatts the agitated state of the Junta of Seville, rid the extreme dejection of the people : SZTRACT 710 K • LETTIR DATED CORDOVA, SEPT. G. " Else dejection is general, my friend ; after so many sacrificer, required from our provinces-in par ticular, for above a year. Distrust alone prevents the people from loudly proclaiming what they think ; hat finding theist-:lves deceived, they are highly exasperated. It is chiefly iu the country, and in the villages, crushed by the pressure of the war, that they give vent to all the bitterness of their resentment agtinst the leaders of Seville. Aud do you suppose that the latter can conceal from us the scandal of their debates? The Junta if sidit into parties; be who can collect round hint a number of puffers, who can get the lowest of the rabble on Ins side, is sure to triumph. Infamous deeds are perpetrated. More than one victim has already been sacrificed by informers, who will fall in their turn. flow, indeed, is it possible to find a mediator among the factions ! " The military leaders share in ell the passions of the Junta ; ap l each p irty iu the Junta alternati I'. protects its faithful adherents. It bestows much less attention on the establishment of discipline, and the revival of the courage of the troops, than on the support or removal of this er that General. Hence you may know what has been the end of all those magnificent promises. which it thought fit to spread abroad, at the open ug of the campaign iu July. But what you cannot reprkseut to yourself, ens friend, is the confusion and terror of there who fled back from La Mancha to their retreat at Seville, which they ouly left, as they reported, to retnra, in full security, tb their houses in the capital. Amidst such disorder, it would be difficult to find pen.: hands, to which to entrust the tnanagenieut of the piddle money. C. and T. • are geuerally supposed nut to have forotten them-elves; they are said to hate transferred their booty for security to the Canaries; and they are not the only ones. So much is cer tain, that nobody knows what has become of pro. digitate some. But our faithfal allies have not snore tit-voted partisans, or the French more inve terate enerisiew. Yon should witness their import ant air, thcir imperious tone, in the assemblies of the Junta : though the members of the opposite faction are not a whit less arrogant. In their he hasiour towards the people. neither east supple nen nor dexterity ; they know how to agitate, to calm, and to make theinseire; feared. Ali ! my friend, I *mild not believe you ; and yet all that you predicted has Itippened. You were not the cnly prophet. Hot, without experi ence, without a knowledge of mankind, could I imagine that the name of patriot could be usurped by those very perianis, who hurry their try to the brink of a precipice, reckless of every thing but to gratify their aridity ? I ani perfectly cured of iny blindness ; hot how I deplore that of so many of my acquaintance! Tne French, I see, h a r e on ly to leave us alone, in order to triumph.

His Excellency has had the honour to be presented to the King, and to dine with His Majesty. It is not known whether lie is to prolong his stay here. He has brought his staff with him. The English, solely occupied with replacing the, materials of their army, which they had almost en tirely lost, in consequence of their precipitate flight, after the defeat at Talavera, are, in every other respect, in a state of absolute inaction, beyond the Tagus, and lower down than Alcantara, in the vi cinity of the frontiers of Portugal. They appear to found their hopes upon some succours which they expected from this latter country, less to re inforce them than to till up the enormous deficit of their army. Roman* has quitted his baud* of Gallicia, to go and take part in the intrigues of Seville, and to support there the English party, of which he is one of the principal pro l e and pensioners. Several intercepted letters (rota Andalusia have fallen into our bawls; they confirm. says 77te AU drid•Ctszette, all the reports which have ►eaciihd us respecting the comututions of the lasrr►ectiural Junta of Seville. The following is cm extract from oue of the inter cepted letters alluded to:— sEytus, SEPT. 5. . 1 You know, my deur friend, that I have always evinced the utmost abhorrence for a base subser viency to every kind of party spirit, both before and since the last installation of the Central Junta; acting, I have always done, from no ott s .or consi deration than that of regard to public interest.— And now that we are engaged in a dreadful conflict, when I see quarrels, jealousies, enmities, exciting our Governors against each other; prolonging the debates in our debit, :atoms ; stopping the pro gress of businesq ; and spreading amongst she people the must iiiscouragi.l 4 reflections; judge, my dear friend, of what I mutt suiVr. " From certain secret intrigues, winch have never ceit.ed to have snore or less influence, and the nature of certain propositions, brought .to light tonne months ago. under preteuce of the good of the State, I am wore than ever convinced that our dissensions go much higher than we are aware of. and that few persons imagine to what lengths they will he carricil.---The opposition which they at first experienced forced the abettors of these intrigue, to dissemble, fur a while, the extent of their views. " Spain is in arms: torrents of blood have been shed ; and yet she has to learn that all this is for the cause of England alone. We have been accus tomed to regard the English as the mortal enemies of France; but it is then very EsigliNli, and I ac quire fresh proofs of it every day, who foment our. dissensions ; yet, without doubt, front t h e first mo tion towards insurrection, they sheered themselves its supporters--they offered succours with sincerity; but our defeuders soon beeisine our masters : And do you think, my dear friend, that they hive ad ministered all these succours out of pure kindness ? It is with our own money that they show themselves generous. %Vas this not the case, when their sub sidies, always slowly paid, and ?ever completed. by turns supported Russia, Prussia, Naples, cud Aug. iris, against the same enemy ? What are the sacrifice, which the British (lis ter 00000 ent proses., s to int/ke, in order to acquire the right of sohjugating a friendly nation and an ally ? I know well, that some Mciubers of the Central Junta, blinded by passion, affect to triumph, from interested motives, in the insolence of the English Ambassador ; while others, as if intoxicated with the appearance of Sovereign power, with which tiny are clothed, luy aside all idea of their future and inevitable degradation. Fur my part, I shall never cease to raise my voice aphis( the attacks, on our independence, by the 7,larquis Wellesley, or any other Eliglish Agent, 11 . 1ille lem able. I shall oppose, however vainly, every nseasure, political, military, and even economical and commercial, that may be dictated to our Goveniment by the caprice or the will of the Cabinet of St. James's. " Have we not Portugal before our eyes ? That country, which furs l,veu rather the conquered colo• fly than the ally of England. In less than hall• a century, its population, agriculture, industry, and marine commerce—all have perished. British do mination pursues Portugal e.eii to the Brazils—it insults the weakuss+and misfortunes of a refugee Prince, and nourishes domestic disser.sious iu the heart of his new Palace. •• What fate, then, have we to expect ? Is it with tech protectors that we sha:l see un end to our /Ur &Tinge I It is at le.e.t a cnitsoiation, that we can colunisiiiieste with a frruJ who participates in the sentnututs of patriot's:a with which I am ani mated."

The latest accounts which they contain from Vienna tiro of the 9th. at which tune ever t preparation was made for the departure of Bou•smtrr for Paris. llis I.lle Gookr.l4, which wer e to rseart him from station to station, had set out. Several of his favosrite civil and military of- Le• ro had taken their departure; and he was ex pected to follow them shortly. Of then, some had arrived at Paris previous to the 17th,, and every necessary preparation was wade for his receptiou at Fontainblean, where he was expected [between the t3th and the 20th inst. That he arrived about that time. there can be no doubt. A loud firing oa the French coast was !turd ou Sunday and Monday. probably a feit-de jute in honour of his return. l'he terms of the treaty with Anstria bad not transpired, and weare inclined to suppose that it was not official. ly announced at Paris until his arrival at that c.o. tel. It is said that he meant to be the bearer of the treaty ; a circumstance which leads us to expect that they ate most humiliating to Austria. T ne French Government, in its observations on the maulis which have produced the naval pre-erni. nence of England, has repeatedly noticed the sti. mulus given to our officers by the sentence of Ad. m b ra l Brun. AVe.accordingly find, that all their unfortunate Naval Officers, V ILLllNalltrg, &c. have beau treated with great severity ; and if examples of this kind could insure success, our navy could ill cope with that of France. To the list of naval officers who have incurred the hatred of the tyrant, by net performing impossibilities, we are now to add the Captains of five of the vessels engaged in the late affair in Basque-Roads. The Nemirow of the I Ith has a supplement annexed. of five sheets, exclusively devoted to a report of their trial for mis conduct, upon that occasion. It is, however, only a part of the report, the conelusiou of which is pro. wised iti the succeeding numbs re ; and of the result it was ouly known, that the Captain of the Calcutta wtts sentenced to be shot. Of the remaining four Captains, two are, we believe, fortunately for themselves, prisoners in England. Dispatches have been sent off for Marquis Wet.. LTSLLY, by a Nlessengers who sailed bout Plymouth, in the IYhifiag ariliJO'ler, on Si It is rumoured at the port whence the vessel sail ed, that these dispatches contain orders for the total evacuation of Spain by the British troops; the last dispatches from Marquis Wcbt.s.scue, Mr. Flt Elle., and Lord Vi r ectaxGrox, as well as cominunicatious from other well-b:wined persons, having fully convinced Government of the impossi bility of. of ectitig the deliverance of that nation. It would evince a total ignorance of the character of BONAPARTE, to suppose that he will not pro ceed. with all his characteristic velocity, from the banks of the Danube, to the banks or the Tagus, in order to effect the complete subitigation of the Spanish peninsula. The pause that has succeeded to the battle of Talavera, we have always considered as studiously sought by the French, in expectation of reiuforciarienta, that the peace ofAustris a oulil set free, to an extent that must make assurance doubly sure. and render all opposition unavailing. Marshal Nee had arrived with his staff at Madrid, probably to concert a plan for the renewal of offensive opera tions ; sod it is, no doubt, in contemplation of that event, Marshal SOULT, Bo siaea arell favourite General in Spain, has been promoted from the rank of Commander of the 4th division, to that of Ma jor-General of the whole array in Spill. The new! from that country, in the Paris Papers, comes down to the 141.—1 t stinotinces the arrival of fresh troops from Fraoce, by Bayonne, and contains some inter cepted letters, evidently of French manufacture. written a ith a view to impress the public mind with an idea of great discord in the Councils of the Junta of Seville, and of the lassitude of the Spa wards, and their indifference to their fate.
