JULY 47• Two sisters, one of whom had been servant to •o old gentleman, the Sieur Gendron, formerly Comptroller of ti e Household to 41 late Majesty Louis XVI. were charged yeetiveliy before the Court of Assizes, of having robbed the Sieur Gendron of a large sum of money, and a brilliant worth • thousand crowns, which he had received from the late Queen, Marie Antoinette. and a variety of other property. The servant was found guilty of removing the property, but the Jury were divided, six against six, on the question of its hav ing been fraudulent. The second sister was ac quitted, and both were liberated by order of the Court. The Sieur Gendron died since the com mencement of the proceedings against this girl. with whom, although he was 72 years of age, lie lived in terms more interesting than if she were his servant only. The relatives of the unfortunate Miss Hutchinson have requested the Editor of the Journal des Lie bats to state, that this I rdy had commenced pro ceedings against the Ex-General Sarraziu long he. fore she was apprised of his haring any considerable property. Her sole motive in the prosecution was, a sense of the duty she owed to her infant child, the offspring of this unhappy union. The Censor, of yesterday. has announced the ar rival of a courier extraordinary, with dispatches to the Spanish Ambassador, informing him of the de parture from Cadiz, on the 11th instant, of a ship of the line, two f, igates, and some smaller vessel., with 4,000 troops on board. We are authorised, says the Quotidienne, to say that this news is er roneous. On the evening of the 25th a pretty smart conflict took place on the road to Fontainebleau, between some citizens and cuirassiers ; some blond was shed. The armed force intervened, and put an eud to a quarrel which began to assume a very serious character. MADRID, JULY 15. The new conspiracy which has just been dis covered at Cadiz has thrown us into the greatest consternation. The following details of it have been published here : si Some commotions which had taken place in the town of Cadiz and at the port Saint Maria, indicated a considerable ferment in the army. The. General in Chief, the Count de l'Abisbal, was informed of the existence of a conspiracy, and adopted mea sures to stifle it in its birth. He set out from Cadiz during the night between the 7th and Bth of this mouth, collected some troops in the Isle of Leon and at Puerto Real, to the number of 4,000 men. With these troops lie surrounded the camp of La Victoria, at the port Saint Maria. consisting of 7,000 men, infantry, cavalry, and artillery, caused the troops there to lay down their arms, arrested and deposed the officers, and dispersed the regi ments among the different towns of Andalusia. These operations were executed without the least disorder, or the loss of any blood. The number of officers *nested amounted to 129. The fol losing are the names of the principal com manders and superior officers :—Fire Colonels, viz. Dun Sebastian Vet:agues, of the regiment of Valeutia; Don Antonio Rutty, of the regiment of Arragon ; Don Antonio Zuiroga, of the regiment of Catalonia; Don Felippo de Aicor. Colonel of Engineers; Don Dernetrio Udali, Colonel of the regiment of the battalion of the Canaries. — Four Lieutenant-Colonels—Don Alessandro Be nista, Don S. San Miguel, Dun Ebricio San Mi guel, Don Laurentio Garcia. lire Commandants —Don Jose Maria Zetrovera, Don Salvador Diaz Berrigo, Dun Jose Mastitis, Dun Joaquin Poole, and Don ltaimond de Libra. " General the Count de l'Abisbal has received the Grand Crols of the Order of Charles 111., and the Mamba! de Campo Saudfield, who seconded bins, hos been nominsted Lieutenant- General. These recompenses will encourage our military, the friends of order and of their country's prosperity, to destroy the projects which might be conceived by the disaffected." JULY 15. A rumour prevails in this city, this usorising, that a naval d►vision. composed of a ship of the line, two frigetts. and three brigantines, having on board 4,000 men. had sailed f►om Cadiz on the IRh instant. It is supposed that the remsiuder of the troops in that quarter were speedily embarked, to prevent any movement on their part. It is thought that this squadron is destined to succour Morillo. The confiru►uuou of this news will pro bably be brought by the first courier from that port. The Coustilutionel contains the following letter, stated to have been received from a private but authentic source : " CADIZ, JULY 8, at Nine p. m. " At a moment when the immense preparations of the expedition appear to have been drawing to a close, au event to which we will not give a name, his intervened to suspend them fur some time. " From symptoms which every disinterested per son could but fail to remark. it was certain that 40,004 men would not willingly allow themselves to be immured in bad ships, badly fitted out, and, above all, badly commanded, fur the purpose of carrying un the war in our colonies. The severe discipline already enforced by Comt D'A Inland did nut render the prospect more cheering, and the expressions of the soldiers and Wove of (,facers of ill ranks left no doubt as to their common in- tentions. " General D'Abisbal wisely foresaw the necessity of crsishing the conspiracy in its cradle. Iss the course of last night he assembled 4,000 nien of our I garrison, and addressed them in an animated man- I ner ; he promised them, in the first place, in the King's name, that they should be exempted front 1 11 serving its the expedition, if they would zealously Concur with hint in the e xecution of certain prompt measures, which would be highly beneficial to his Majesty's service. These troops all pro mised him their support. Immediately the intrepid O'Donnel placed himself at their head, and led them to Port Saint Maria, where the camp Vic toria was formed, consisting of 7,000 mess, destined to be first embarked. The whole division was sur rounded and laid down their arms. Ilia Excel lency instantly proclaimed the general removal of the officers. The regiments were dispersed in dif ferent towns of Andalusia. The number of officers in custody amounts to above 160. " The following Royal Decree has just been issued : " ' The King, in consideration of the parlicular merit and cervices of Lientenant-General count D'Atiimb4l, Ilrige. ell to confer epos him the Grand Cross of the Orate ref Charles 111. " ' His Majesty, for the same motives, has deigned W promote Major-General Saudfield to the rank of Lieuieuast- General of his armies.' " The former of these two General Officers is of English origin, slid the latter is an Englishman born. It will be recollected that the latter was one of the superior military officers who so eagerly repaired to welcome the King on his arrival et Va lencia, in the mouth of May, 1814." We subjoin the following letters from Gibraltar upon this subject. They give a different, and we think not. a very probable origin to the iirmerac.. lion. We can conceive that soldiers nig revolt to save themselves from being sent on a perilous and unpopular expedition ; but that a body of troops should do so for the sake of obtaining a Constitu tion upon which they are forthwith to torn their backs by quitting the country. I. a reach of pa triotism something above the level, we think, of military ideas. " GIBRALT4R, JULY 10. It is more than probable th.it you will have hestid of Jbe insurrection at Cadiz before this reaches you, and of the declaration of the troops in favour of a tow Constitti. lion. The packet with the mail from licuce, 'stitch was to bare been closed m 11111131 by 12 cielock, was kept open sin hours later, in pursuance of orders from the Governor, in order that he might be enabled to conina n tsuicate official in formation to the British Government, wills respect to the news from Cadiz. Expresses from that city err looked fur with the greatest anxiety, as sonsetking of importance is expected to happen. It is generally understood that a body of about 5,000 troops, ordered to embark at Puertu.Santa Maria, for the South American expedition, have positively refused to go on board of them, and many permits are of opinion that this is ouly the first step to as occurrence of ' much greater consequence." Another letter, of the same date, contains the following pnregteph:— " P.S. News has arrived here, by impress, from Cadiz, that a general insurrection has taken place minim the Spa nish troops, who have declared positively that unless a new Cownitution is given them, they will not proceed ou boned the cxpedition. It is said that several reginwuts, under the command of a Spanish Colonel, have actually marched fur Madrid, in order to force a compliance." rtili BRrn Sri PRESS. LONDON. SATURDAY. JCLY 31, 1819. The Paris Papers of Tuesd.iy last, which 'save arrived at our Office, prove the exaggeration of the first accounts that reached town relative to the mu tiny among the troops assembled at Cidix for the South American expedition. It ic, however, ad mitted by the official publications of the Spanish Government, and, therefore, we must Ili:knowledge this important p • t to he suliscatitially correct, that a very extensive and formidable conspiracy had existed in the expeditionary army, involving a hotly of 7,000 men, with their officers of every raid., be ing at least our-third part of the whole force. Many indications bud fur a considerable letigth of time evinced the existence of a mutinous spirit among the troops, which was so far from bring ilscousi tetianced and restraiiied by the officers, that it seemed rather to have originated in the unwilliug ness expressed by the officers to embyik on the fin horn ave of South American conquest, and to be subsequently fomented g the soldiers by the consciousness that This unwilliognest had in nu respect subsided. VDONNEL, the General in Chief, had for some time wombed tilts spirit, amid being apprised probably that some datierusis de sign wall to contemplation, lie suddenly, on the night of the 7th of this u th, collected about 4,000 troops, on whose fidelity be could rely, and 'porcine% diem instantly against the camp at La Vittoria, consisting of 7,000 troops of till aftll9, he compelled them to lay titowu their arms, arrest ed their officers to the uutubr r ul 132, of «I five were Colonels, and dispersed the irgitnetits through the different towns of Andalusia. It is impossible to say to what greater extent this con spiracy may have proceeded. li egoism be supposed that the spirit which actuated the 7,000 wen rio• camped at La Vittoria, was u stranger to the III). • bOWS of the other corps of the atm), and, indeed, it is adinittail in the commencement of the official details (which will be fliond in another part of this Paper), that some commotion* had been observed among the troop* in the town of Cadiz and at Port Santa Maria. _ . . - - - The causes to which this discontent may fairly be attributed can, for the present, be supplied by conjecture only ; arid we see no reason, after fuller and more mature consideration. to retract any or the remarks we made yroteerlay upon this lute resting sobject. We have frequently been assured by respectable authority, that the South American war was extremely unpopular with► the soldiery of Spain, fur which the want of success hitherto, and the little probability there existed of being more fortunate for the future, very satisfactorily accounts. Besides this, the minds of the soldiers have been exasperated and alienated from the Government by a want of punctuality in paying them. The ex hausted funds of Spain are ill calculated to main tain an expensive army ; and wise betide the Go. ' , eminent which, having a military force, is unable to Inert its wants punctually mod liberally ! No thing, however, could prove more effectually the extreme imbecility of the Spanish Government, than thus to detains it► idleness at home, without the means of adequately supporting them, so large a body of troops, when their presence was abso lutely necessary in South America, where. like those who preceded them in the career of exter mination, they might have been taught to support themselves on the rapine of the country. and at a period too when every moment was of the utmost valor to the cause of the parent state. If the ar reins of their pay, however, be paid up, and some security given to them that they shall be regularly remitted in future, we should expect, from the character of all standing armies, and particularly from that of a Spanish army. that the soldiers will permit discipline to be effectually restored among them. This, however, will not be a very easy task for the Spanish Government to effect. We may therefore consider the present mutinous disposition of the troops composing the expeditionary army as sufficient security to the struggling Independents of South A merira, that the great armament with which they have so long bees. threatened . will not, for at least a very considerable lapse of time, aim a blow against their infant liberties. The French 5 per Cents. are 71 f. 30c. To be a true prophet of evils is a poor consola tion to thme who affect that character. When we remonstrated again►t the proceedings of the ex treme Reformists, we should have been most happy to find our fears dissipated by the result. At a Privy Council held yesterday at Carlton House, a Proclamation respecting the in ternal state of the country formed the subject of deliberation. This Proclamation. which will be immediately promulgated. states in its preamble the alarming circumstances of which so much has been recently given in the Newspapers, and which have been embellished with so much exagge ration by the ministerial part of the public Press ; iti:d it concludes with recommending extra ordinary energy and precautions fur the security of the public tranquillity. We stated lately that the Ministers remained in town or in its vicinity, and that they were not likely to change their quarters during the summer. The critical state of the coun try may account for this vigilance on the part of Go vernment, and we hope that it will not lead to any consequences that may give us cause to deplore an infringement upon the rights and liberties of the people. From the Dublin Papers. received yesterday, we learn, that General D'F.ixttEux and a considerable port of his Legion remained on the 27th in that city. Their enthusiasm► requires no excitement, but yet it is gratifying to think that their departure will be accompanied with the cheering intelligence of the refusal of the Spanish troop• at Cadiz to lend their aid in upholding the reign of despotism in South America. This will ►nure than compensate for any injury done to the cause of liberty by the Foreign Enlistment Bill. Among the reforms of the day, it is said to be the iritesiritot of the Secretary of Slate for the I bone Department to suppreps Bartholomew Fair. We hope this is not true. Let every care be taken to re.tran► the licentioueue►s of that *erne of vulgar antriiiersient, but when the pleasures of the lower class of society are at stake, we du not like the tories ciple of bursting the house to get rid of the rats.
