10 = is ■ ■ I i r. 1 ~' Le* itii he wait at once usheved into • suite of !twit:tents where he beheld the dress of every age and of every nohow; in some instance►, perhaps, not ednpted by the wearers from any regard to gracefulness, bet assumed by all with the intention of promoting good humour and mirth. The appearance of the Knight in the midst of this nsotly crew, though he was cased in complete armour, did not sweet soy particular attention; and he would have passed, like the rest, uninterruptedly, through the night, mammon and amused, if his own extravagancies bad not led to consequences which the faithful /naturists is compelled to relate. It presently occurred to our hero that lie hail now ao op -. palimony of dispersing a crew that were as. ambled for some diabolical pirrlsose. He saw 'Ports and Jewry, Moms and Mehomedans, and Irtgblanders and dluh.itoes, Laxitareoi, Carboneri, Baines, Chinese, il,lttentots, lawyers, priests, I'h►ygisna and Parophodians, and other represen tations of perilous, nation., professions, deformities or misfortunes, which convinced him that he should Wow have it in his .power to set the world right by slit work of one Oh, all ye nations of the earth !" exclaimed the valorous champion, •‘yielil yourselves to my unconquerable taut, and submit to the ineffable wisdom of my opinion; why have ye sophisticated the garb of the true Cas tilian, by thus daring to profane it with the pre. dente of these outlandish and heathenish vupersti. Lions ? You are assembled here to insult my co•n. fry, and to exhibit harbaritis a in apparel, which, the law of armt, no true Spaniard can tolerate. command you to abstain from your orgies, or I will . itistautly send 'on to your account with my valiant arm, that has gained immortal fame in mountain feuds." Hr then accosted a large woman, as the, • 'figure before him bore some marks of being ; she wail masked, and wore her nether garment. so tightly pad to her brie), Out she seemed properly prepared to mount the barbed steed, Nod run a tilt with any knight or baron in Christendom ; her upper habihe meets would have led one, less liable to tee than • Dun Quixote, to suppose that she was a Moor, a race abhorred by the Spaniards. " You, Sir," Mid the redoubted Knight, " how dare you coo laminate this soil with your filthy Moresco 1"—" Sir Knight," said the Lady, " you play your assumed part well. But is it posaible that you can really fancy use, what you call me, H man?"—" Man or giant," quoth the Knight, " acknowledge yourself conquered, and beseech my clemency for your for feited life."—" Donna Cambria de Comovills," said a licentiate, who saw the Lady was alarmed, " allow me to encounter this awful hero, who seems to have prepared himself for our pageant by an application to the vintages of Xeres •." This Gentleman was the reoowned Senor Pientrello de Grandenzies, who, as he approached our acrompli.h ed chief, displayed in his Spanish cap three huge leathers, at the sight of which the wrath of our hero became intolerable, and puckering himself up into a posture of tarsier, lie exclaimed, " Stand uff, Renegado ! by what authority do you bear the eagle's plume ?"—" By the same authority. Sir Knight," said Senor Pientrello, quite collectedly, •'.that jdstities you in assuming the warrior's fel chion. it is my pleasure to wear them. But, Sir Knight if the angry tone, know that they are not the plumes of the bird of Jove, but were spared me from the tail of a very peaceable and inoffensive turkey-cock." At heuriegof the sail of a turkey. cock, Don Quixote said, " Sir Knight of the bor. rowed plumes, you cannot insult see with your tole of toils ; but the laws of knighthood require that I should pluck them trout your cup." The Knight iucontinesitly made an essay to accomplish his end, but eneouutried a youth from the college of Selamancs, Senor Celtudato dt Bigendoes, who was priecipally dressed to what appeared to be s Roman -military costume ; such as ieveterate.antiquartans describe front . green coins end broken pieces of stone ; a short checquered vestment hung from his taws so as not quite to reach his knees, which were hare ; a short sword mud dagger were stuck in his girdle, together with other military implements; a cloak of the same materials as that which appeared Wow, hung over his shrdder., and he war also decorated with plumes, like those of the powerful Oesudeuzies. " St.siy. Sir Knight," said the youth, 6 , do not acaith oar ancient and mirthful society." The dress of the youth. de Begaudosa, was still more foscibly objected to by Dun Quixote than were the feathers of Setter Pientrello; and he eirgerly demanded of Senor Cehodato, his warrant for wearing an ancient garb like that of Crime, to the prejudice of the Roman fame, and to the die pace of the true Castilian. The youth did not deign to attend to the Knight's ravings, but mildly continued : "We are here associated for the pus. pose of extending the empire of good will* in the house of Donee Mercellina de Clisintainadtlda ; aid if you choose to comport youreelf with the manures which become your apparent rank, Donee hiercellina desires you to partake of our cheer ; but if you disturb us with your follies shout turkey tucks sod Roman soldiers, we must forcibly bind you to be peaceable." Don Quixote now became quite ungovernable, and assaulted man, woman, and child. Sot the fate of battle is not always so the strong; and a warrior may be subdued by insignificaut weapons. The -valorous Doti Quixote war surrounded by Wire and - beaux, and other. who composed the soiedlueraihiig party. and was soon denuded or his 'hoisted lieltnet and slarld. They treated with the utmost contempt his sword, which, they said, had ilever been drawn but where there was no warlike uppouriii. He was thrown on the fluor, and rolled out into the stable-yard, while him cuisses rattled about him ; or, it. the lofty port expresses it, " the halfpence ratsLd to his great co•st pocket." In staid did the prostrate Knight protest against such unkeritor.like treatment. which was hewer prac tised. ea he asserted, amongst the rival chiefs iu the siithintains of Li Maticlia. Deer to his remouatrances, Senor Pientrello gave ?Dan Quixote a squeeze, which divested him for a seoinesit of all recollection of the deeds of ancient &nights -tweet, and made him feel that corporal pain has amuse influence on the 'wok mind.

This account is taken from official reports trousmitted to the Civil Governor of Seville. Another official account, corn monicaled by the Military Commandant to the Al coldes of Cadiz, alter alluding to the reneontre, adds, that Zuldivar subsequently took the road to Galina with 20 horse. The expeditionary column of the Cadiz militia proceeded from Arco and Paterna on the 21st, en tered Merlins Sidottio on the next morning, arrived at Cinchona on the 24th, was in San Fernando (Ia Isla) on the 25th, and was expected to re-enter Cadiz on the 26th, accompanied by detachments of the militia of the several towns through which it had to pass. AUGUST 27. Captain Houghton, of the brig George, arrived yesterday from Valparaiso. states that he met with very thick fogs off Cape Spartel on Saturday after noon and during the night; towards the morning, he heard many guns bred in the direction of the land, as if from vessels in distress. On the weather clearing up, at about 9a. Ne. he saw on shore, to the southward of the Cape, • line of battle-ship and two brigs, the latter with French colours : while lie remained in sight, one of the brigs ap peared to have got off; but the other was roiling mach. They had boats about them as if carrying out anchors. There seems to be no doubt that these are the French vessels seen from Cadis some days ago. BAYONNE PAPERS. 11 . 11TONNR, 11EPTILMIlita 10. The news which we have just received from the frontiers announce the landing at St. Sebastian of the regiment of active militia coming from Gis'bele, and of two battalions of the regiinent of the line of Vittoria, •t Bilhoa, which embarked at Comma. Letters from Vittoria of the 7th, received at Yrun by express, mention the arrival in that city of eight pieces of cannon and 1,500 men, intended for Navarre. Travellers from the interior, who have arrived to-day at the Lazaretto of Behobie, confirm the advance of troops towards Catalonia, and the provinces adjacent to France. They add, that the Royalists are masters of all Catalonia, where the Cousiitutional garrisons are closely block aded, and anxiously waiting for the reinforcements which are on the way. . The accounts fro - in Arregon, received by way of Olesen, represent that province us generally re solved to repulse the Defenders of the Faith. A battalion of the active militia of Saragossa has vo luntarily marched to join the division of Zsrco de Valle, who is at Frage. Mina was collecting forces at Lerida. Private letters received to-day from St. Jean Pied de Port, confirm the defeat of General Que sada in the environs of Biel, between Jaca and Sanguesa. The column of Colonel Tabuenea, consisting or 700 infautry and 100 cavalry, and two cannon, attacked on the morning of the 7th Gen. Queued*, who had under his command 9,000 men, and after having been repulsed from Jac* hesitated to enter into Arragoii, because the Empecioado was in the environs of Huesca, and Espinosa in the Kollar!. The Constitutional troops, whore ardour is beyond description, succeeded in breaking the line of their adversaries, of whom they killed 300, and took a great number prisoners. They also took forty mules loaded with ammunition, the military cheat, and the greater part of the bag gage. The ranks of the Defenders of the Faith having been thrown into disorder, SOO men went over to the Constitution*listit, and an equal num ber from the Valleys of Erro, Ahescos, Salazar, Roncal, Auso, and Echo, returned to their homer, throwing away their arms. This news is certain. It is also added, but we cannot warrant the truth of the statement, that QUesada has been arrested by his Own soldiers, end taken to Irati to be tried ; tome even go so far us to say that he has now been shot ;we wait for more authentic accounts. With respect to the fate of ibis General. he had himself previously expretord his apprehensiusis, and even his repugnance, to command • troop without discip line, in which there was • great number of brigands and desperate characters. We are wholly ignorant of the movement* which Espinosa may have made since this battle ; we merely know that on the 7,h he wits in the V.lley of Roncal; that the battalion of the Faith, calitoned at Ochsgavia sod in the en virons, had made • movement towards human. • villageon the high road from Tolosa to Primpelnua; so that iu this case Irati would be insulated. In the course of Thursday night the house of Mrs. BRYAN, of Portman-place, Edgware-road, was entered by thieves, who ransacked the lower part of the house to a serious amount. which they carried off unobserved. They gained admittonce into the house by menus of perforating with a centre hit the shutter of the back kitchen window, iu which an aperture was mode of sufficient magnitude to admit a man', arm, and the faateutugs were then easily displaced. .„ • 1 , . , I .* !i to.complete the discomfiture of the Meddling War. ricir, Donna Cithiline de Comovilla, unfortunately slipping on the peel don orange, -floundered down upon him with ■ mount/litmus impetuosity, that II be compared to nothing so aptly as the labour of the giants in Virgil, who Tel swot eoseli irapsere Peen° Ossara, Oily set (scilicet), &Nee User froadosum involver* yipae. The attentioo of the whole party was now engro►sed by the fallen Donna Carolina, who rolled spheri cally, as the thin Knight rolled, longi'udinilly, in the same rapid streamlet. The greatest exertions were made to elevate her, which, when it wen ac. complished, displayed her so much anointed with the mixture that had been destined for Don Quixote exclusively, that she was no more seen for that night. This accident, however, relieved the Knight from further persecution : and as Sancho, now the enact was clear, ventured to his assist ance, he crept out of the pickle, as worms in • gar den wriggle out of their holes after a storm of rain. The Knight, though all forlorn, forgot not the ser vices of his faithful Squire, and sitting by the side of the mess he had Jost escaped from, he said, "Sancho, there is more in my power than you dream of; I shell attend your coronation as king of the island, which I mean to bestow upon you. You shell make a public entrance into your kingdoni, and I will receive you in your 'palace. I shall come armed cap-a-pee to guard your crown and your sceptre, which honour is all the reward I shall - expect for my condescension. Of course I shall be One of the many noblemen you will create when yee receive your kingdom, though there is no oc- • mourns for that trouble on my behalf, as my grand mother told me that I am a nobleman by descent." However Sancho might have been captivated with the prospect of worldly grandeur, he had a little worldly wisdom about him, in ordinary matters at least, and answered the Knight's mighty medita tions by saying, " Had I not better clean this filth off your person, Sir, before we talk of the corona tion ?" The Knight at last recollecting that there was a time for all things, wisely suffered his Squire to proceed in his operation, but not without rug. gelding many things Shut he intended to do on Sancho', taking possession of his new kingdom. PARIS PAPERS. PARIS, ezrvisista 17.

SATURDAY. Swamis it. Mt. While the Ministerial Papers have vasntia*ly referred to the impulse given to our domestic factures, as evidence of an improvement in trade, we have repeatedly expressed our fears that it was not • solid and healthful improvement, but the result of an impatience for employment and eters sive speculation. The present state of the trade to South America, which enured this excitement, fully justifies the fears which we originally expressed, that its fruits were greatly over-rated. The Captain of a vespel recently arrived at Guernsey from the Pacific Ocean states, that no less than 80 merchant ships were at Valparaiso at his departure, and that, from the disastrous state of trade, it was prolkable that most of them would be obliged to go to India for return cargoes. The Paris Papers of the 18th instant state that the King of SPAIN will be invited to attend the Congress of Sovereigns at Vienna. They rosy call spirits from the vasty deep, but will they come? Were FERDINAND to obey the call, we might expect to see the part of the King of NAPLES at the former Congress acted over again. Orders and proclamations in his name would be published in every part of Spain, enjoining his sub. jects to do whatever the Congress should please to dictate to him. He would be made the mere in strument of his royal and legitimate brothers for destroying the Constitution and new-born liberties of his country. This would be the certain result of his visit to Congress ; but with the recent exam ple of the King of NartAts before their eyes, the Cortei will take especial care to keep him at home. The gloom lately caused by the dissstrons se counts from Torkey, is somewhat relieve.l by more recent accounts. The coastitietionnel acknowledges the receipt of letters from Leghorn, of the 4th Sep. tember, which state that au lonian vessel, Captain VIDAL!, who left Spezzia on the 18th of August, and arrived at Leghorn on the Ist September, brought the confirmation of the news lately given in that Paper favourable to the Greeks. The Turks had been thrice defeated, and forced to fall back on Corinth. This intelligence, as is well observed by the Coostinitioismet, is later by several days than any yet furnished by the Ger man Papers. It promises to give in the Paper of the succeeding day, the Butletilit of the Creek vic tories. Captain VIDAI.I also contradicis a piece of intelligence favourable to the Greeks, in the Allgernease Zsitsmg, the defeat of this Turkish fleet on the 19th of August, to the south of the Mores. It is said that he saw this fleet leave Hydra on the 16th August, so that it could net possibly be to the south of the Mores on the 13th. Bayonne Papers to the 11th instant have arrived. They represent the petty warfare in the northern provinces of Spain in full activity, hut the state of the Pou thrill provinces is satisfactory. The follow ing are extracts : BATOIII I II, SEPTIMBEIt 10. The advantages obtained by the crmatitutional troops, though so iuferior in number, will nut excite surprise when we are told thut fifty youths of the National School at Verger., in Guipulcoe, the oldest of whom is nut eighteen, put to flight a kw days viuce the band of Urenge, consisting of 450 men. The dispatches lately taken from the express of the house of Basteneche, corning from Madrid, have been forwarded by the Sub.Prekct of our town to the Minister of the Interior by the ordinary convey ance, which has given rise in this city to a thousand idle complaints. It is now known that the bearer was detained because he had not taken a passport at the Pass de Behobie for Bayonne, the distance of which is only four leagues and a half—.ll thing which is never done. * maw' The news from Madrid, which is not of a later date than the 6th, represent that city as tranquil, though the intercepting of the couriers front the northern frontiers had given the ill-disposed sti opportunity to spread vinous sinister reports of great successes obiained by the royalists; of their having taken Irun, St. Sebastian, and Tolosa; of preparations for war making at Bayonne ; of the march of 25,000 men to the Pyrenees, which greatly inflame the minds of the Liberals, who are more incensed than ever against those who oppose the consolidation of their system, not excepting the King and his family, who are treated both in writ ing and conversation with the greatest contempt. Amidst the activity and upright proceedings of the new Ministers, it may be perceived that they are not disposed to support the ambitious views of a certain party, having already sheen their repug nance to permit the opening of the patriotic societies. " If the salvation of the Northern Provinces and Catalonia." say the Madrid letters, " justly excite alarms, that of the Southern Provinces and Galli cia is satisfactory, there being only some insigia cant bands, which are beaten when the/ shoe theta- vs . ~,\ .. • . sel►es by the constitutional koops. The :an far 184 millions of real., just cons uded on better terms than the lart, with some houses in London, the expected arrival of remittances from England, the good intentions of the Ministers, the confidence they inspire, and the good spirit and resolution which animate the majority of the population, give us reason to hope that our intestine dissentions will be extinguished, and that the Government will dim, be able to adept sessieres to make the Span's', nation sad its territory respected by fwieigners, mud especially so awe Framer, which our constitution. stilts fancy to be the declared enemy of their liberties. " The report which bas been spread here 4,f a loon of 50 millions of rests, contracted by the Kell for hit own account with some foreign boas, is wholly absurd and ridiculous. " The Congress at Verona is s great subject of attention here, but to hear the Liberals, they lift nut at all alarmed at it, and rather profess to despise it, because, say they, foreigners will not be permitted to come and meddle in our domestic d la sentiona. They seem not to fear the French Go verinnent, against which the most violent diatribes are vented, both in the journals and conversation. As fur the French nation and army, they cannot init. gine they will cordiallysupport an attack upon Spain, and it is even said that the Minister of War, Lopez Banos,bas publicly boasted that the Spailiardsbad 00. thing to fear at this moment front all France; that if foreigners should continue to interfere in our affairs, they would have reason to repent of it, as the Go. vernment had in its hands all the necessary morns to arm the Spaniards en masse, and renew the dis astrous scenes of the French invasion, though cis. cumstanca are not the same. This boast of thehli. ulster is not out of place if we consider the enthusiasm of the constitutional party and of the army, the national pride, the recent example of the late war, the great number of Spaniards interested in supporting the system, either by the acquisition of national estates or other circumstances, the ineffi. cacy of a small army to change the form of govern ment, and the difficulty of maintaining a great force in Spain without enormous risk mud expense, the nature of the county and the spirit of the pro ple, ►he support of Portugal, and of the liberal liarty throughout Europe—all these circumstances seem to render impossible ■n attempt to subdue the constitutionalists of the Peninsula, the reaction of which would be inevitable, and lead the foreign Powers who should interfere into an endless war." The following is a general view of the force under arms to defend the new institutions: the summit of the regular army cannot be exactly stated, because we do lint know what losses it has sustained in Catalonia. The last reports of the War Minister make the army amount to 38,000 toot, 5,000 horse, and 3,000 artillery; that is, 8,000 men below its full complement, which is now to be made op. The 70 regiments of active milin3 which have been put under arms amount to 35 or 36,000 men, and the volunteer militia in the whale peninsula may amount to 86,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. Several of these corps are distinguished by their hoe appearance and discipline, and their attachment to the Constitution, and thp•y have always been ready to march whenever their services were required. The new Ministry has given orders to hasten the or. ganisation of the local militia, and to increase its numbers. Messrs.
