Torrijos was still at Vittoria on the 22d of this month, with 6,000 good troops, of whom 600 were cavalry, and there is every reason to believe that he will very shortly commence his operations. The partisan Curb'llas, who lately suffered a defeat at Villareal d'Alars, arrived at Bayonne yesterday, with his purse better filled than when he set out upon his expedition. %Ve have the following from Madrid, Nov. 20 : " Never has the fermentation in people's minds been so extraordinary as for these few days past, and especially on the night of the 17th, in conse quence of the account of the falling of the funds at Paris, and the reports of war that were circulated. The agitation was so great, that several patriots went in a body to the office of the Ministers, to know whether the Government had received any dis patches from abroad concerning the probability of war; but it was soon learned that only a commer cial house in this city bad received en express, stating the agitation on the Exchange at Paris on the lith. However, the enemies of the ►ystem anon spread a report, that the Holy Alliance had j decided the armed interference in the affairs of PERPIGNAN, NOVEMBER 44. We received intelligence last night that Baron d'Eroler, after having been defeated in many en rigsnsents, had succeeded in joining the Regency at Lltna with 12 men only. It a stated this evening that on the members of the Regency have quitted Spain, and are now at &tam, a little village on the Freed) territory. A considerable number of troops and refugee* having assembled at this village the lodgings have became scarce., and M. de Ca dondal, the Colonel of the 46th regiment of French irdentry, faunal it necessary to allow Baron d' Eroller, the Commander.in•Chtef of the Spanish itisorgents, to oceupy a part of his bed. The Army of the Faith now consists only of five or siz hundred men, who are concentrated at Llivia. It is said that Count Curial, who is on the frontier.. and Field-Marshals Masserot end Vence, have prol»laited the Constitutional Army from proceeding to that village. The road which leads to it is neutral ground, and the inhabitants fear that the Spanish troopa, in their eagerness to clear their territory of the few remaining insurgents, might not pay sufficient regard to this circum stance; and that consequently • conflict might take Owe; The rasa of Catalonia is perfectly tranquil.

It is to be Spain, and this news assumed such a degree of credit, that it Wall the general subject of can retortion iu all public places sad private circles; and if the leaders of the Landabarian Club had been allowed to have their owu way, the capital would have been filled with consternation. in fact, on the same evening, several ecclesiastics and others, whom opinion points out as adversaries to the Con stitution, were publicly insulted in the streets. The alarm continued through the whole of the 18th, and in the night the same house received an express, with the news dint the funds had risen at Paris on the 13th, and that the reports which bad caused the fall were beginning to he dispelled. On the other hand, the Government received on the 19th, at two a.st. an express from its Minister at Paris, with dis patches very satisfactory in respect to the reports of war. On the 19th, in the morning, groups of people assembled in the Puerta del Sol, anxious to know the contents of the dispatches of the Disc de San Lorenzo, and they soon learned that he had written that the Congress had decided nothing with regard to Spain. It is even affirmed, that the Minister has said to his friends that if be had received any unpleasant news he would immediately have pub• lished it in the journals. Nevertheless people's fears are not wholly dispelled, and they *wait with impatience the result of the Congress. The mer clients' expresses which arrive are surrounded and questioned by numbers of persons. It may be said that at the first news of a declaration of war we should see the Revolution make ravages at Madrid and all the provincial capitals. All the journals make refl , ctions on the inconve niences and obstacles which stand io the way of a resolution of the Holy Alliance to declare war against Spain. There is nothing interesting from Andalusia, ex cept the dissolution of the Municipality of Lucens, the arrest of it■ members, and of several other per sons, in con.equence of the discovery of • plot formed by the Committee of Gibraltar, tending to renew the insurrection in Ronda, Lucena, and even Cents.

THE BRITISH PRESS. LON DON, SATURDAY. DECEKBRR 7. 1822. The intelligence from Bayonne, which is np to the 29th of November, gives further confirmation of the entire wreck of the Army of the Faith. O'DonwEr.r. seems to have taken the command for the purpose of proving its weakness. Madrid is at the present critical moment the most interesting city in Europe. The success or failure of the se. coud great experiment of superseding feudal des. potism by representative wisdom, depends in • great degree upon the temper and spirit of the metropolis. Every successive account contributes to strengthen the hopes of the well-wishers of good government. The " semi-official Journal" (L' Etoik) of Tuesday last contains a curious paragraph. The italics are our own. " Is it not easy to conceive a political position in which it would he impossible to •,firm any thing ?"—(" All we can know," said SO. CRATES, " is, that we know nothing." But we re vert to the modern mail of wisdom :)--" in fact, if the resolution shich is to be taken depea•ded on the • jeterroination of a neighbouring Government, it is evident that the question must remain undecided, even supposing the Ministers had irrevocably wished that the dignity of France, its honour, and its in terest, which is that of all Europe, should be pro. tected against all injury." Here is a wide loop-hole for escape from war. The highest flight of this winged speculator is, that the Ministers have irrevocably soished—what ? War. No such thing, bat the pro tection of France from injury. Yet this patriotic pro tection the French Miuisters have only irrevocably wished. That is, they are pledged to wish her pro tection born injury after they shall have found it convenient to betray or to ruin her. Nothing is irrevocable but the wish, and the irrevocable wish is only pm as an extravagant supposition. 0, ex qoisite interpreters of Ministerial wishes, how pro found you are !—Aud in the lowest depth a lower deep of equivocation still opens to devour us. But the extravagant wish is only to the extent of pro tection. Now invasion is far beyond this. Such then is the explicit language of the Cerberus of the Holy Alliance—of that dread power who has obtained a (submission to pat down revolution—of the snatch old, who on the frontiers of liberty and despotism keeps watch, if all he can will serve to keep what is left of—the monarchical principle, encroached on still by constitutional claims. One fact appears definite and tangible. "On the eveuing of Moucley (December 2) a French courier was dispatched to Madrid." Then we have the consequent Wel: " And it is believed that he is the bearer of the resolution of the Congress on the affairs of the Peninsula." Upon this article of French faith our learned Courier comments thus : " If it be necessary to wait for the answer' to the dispatch, before the French Government can make known its final resolution, a fortnight, at bast, must elapse." The English public, and especially the feverish fundholdeis, must feel deeply indebted to our Courier for this consolatory intelligence. We, being ranich simpler in our unprivileged way, would ray that war will not be declared by France, was never intended to be declared, and has never been seriously contemplated us possible. The Bonsai:ma will " let sleeping dogs alone." The Holy Alliance are fallen into the plight of JOHN BUNYAN'S old, grim, arid toothless representative of Antichrist. They growl most angrily at the Pil grim of light, but they dare not stir from their lair to molest him or interrupt his heaven-ward progress. A letter from Verona mentions that the Arch duchess MARIA LOUISA was present at • grand musical party given by the Duke of WELLINGTON. This is one of the few incidents which convey at once impressions and associations of the deepest character. The magnanimity, condescension, and dignity of feeling, were all on one side : the dine ingtnaster—servility, suppression ef spirits, exclu sion of the past and the future, and degraded self consciousness, were all on the other. How did his Gtece conceal his blushes when the Ex-Empress expressed her heartfelt thanks for the attention paid to her dear departed husband, the hero of Marengo, by Sir HUDSON Lows ? German Papers to the Ist instant have arrived. It appears that Napoli and Corinth remain in the possession of the Turks. It is supposed that Parliament will meet some time in January, which is sooner than was expect. ed. This point will probably be decided by the turn which affairs may take upon the Continent. Loan AMHIRST.—The Honourable Court of Directors of the East India Company gave a grand dinner on Wednesday to this Nobleman, in conse quence of his appointment to the important station of Governor-General of our Asiatic possessions. This honorary banquet took place at the Albion Tavern, A Ideregate-street. YELLOW FEVER IN NEW ORLEANS.-..A letter received in this town yesterday, from New Orleans, mentions the Hon. ELIOIUS FROMENTIN died of the fever on the 6th inst. and his wife on the follow ing day. The writer adds, as a proof of the panic occasioned by the fever, that the funeral of Judge FROMENTIN was attended by only seven persons beside the writer, and that of his wife by only three. —(Baton Daily Advertiser.) A fresh supply of horses has been found necessary on the Dover road, in consequence of the great number of couriers with expresses, who pass daily between London and Paris, for stockbrokers. The horses are kept ready saddled at all hours, and the riders travel at the rate of thirteen miles an hour. An express arrived this week in London from Paris in three-and-twenty hears.

Last night SHERIDA N'S excellent comedy of The School fur Scandal was perfcrmed at this theatre. Perhaps there to no production of the comic muse in the whole range of the drama whose representation commut.icates more general delight and satisfaction. The dialogue is so elegant, chaste-, and witty ; the satire so poignant, yet so true ; and the incidents follow in such quick succession, that the interest never lags for a moment. Lot night the characters were most happily cast. Muieui.N's Air Peter Teazle requires no comment. Lady Teazle was represented by Mrs. DAVISON with vivacity and judgistent. Sir Oliver Surface affords little oppor tunity for the talents of Doscros, but in his hands it could not be wholly uninteresting. The " scan dalous college" performed their parts to adults/non, and " killed a character at every word." The new farce of 11Id and Young followed, in which Miss CLARA FISHER obtained thunders of applause. The Duke of BEDFORD'S health, we ere lisppy to hear, is much improved by his excursions to Host ings, Sussex. The Cenotaph for the late Princess CHAILO'ETIC is at lust finished; but it is not yet determined to what part of Westminster Abbey it shall be placed.

Li the new tragedy of The Hitguenett, shortly to be acted at Covent-garden Theatre, we understand Mr. SHIEL has introduced some alterutioos and changes in the play, which were not there originally, and which are likely to conduce, in an especial manner, to its success. The character isteaaled for Miss F. 11. KELLY is draws with peculiar delicacy and force. Rome will exhibit a None if more gaiety and splendour during the winter than it has koown fur many years. The C.I•INDISHES, the DEVON SHIRES, the CLIEFORDS, the CARR A RYONS, the KINSAIRDS, together with an additromil long list of English Nobility, and wealthy families, are now assembling there. The Duchess of DEFONSHIRS has arranged a series of entertainments open a scale commensurate with the magnificence of the " Eter nal City" during the brightest period of her his tory. There are now more than fire hundred Euglish families in Rome, and the number is likely to be nearly doubled by Christmas.
