TVETOAT-OF TILE MAJOR-GENERAL OF THE ARMY Or 'TIM PYHtNEES TO THE mists•rrn or WAR. 4 ' lleadfroarters, Madrid, May 211, 1823. " S —1 menediately after the entry of the army into Madrid on the 24th in.t., his Royal -Highness the Commander-in -Chief gave orders 'that General Vallin, with the advanced guard of the. first corps, reinforced by two regiments of light horse and four Pieces of artillery, should advance on the road to Talavera de la Reyna„ after the rear-guard of the enemy, in order that he might be ready to attack it its soon as the time limited by the convention entered into for 'the evacuation of the capital had expired, which "was at half past three o'clock in the morning of • the 26th. The intentions of his Royal Highness ltay.e 'and been fulfilled. After a forced march of 2days a night, Gen. Vallin gained ground on the enemy, and came up with him at six' o'clock in the morn ing of the 27th, within half a league of-Talavera, -and near the bridge over the Alberche. The town was occupied by about 3,000 infantry, 500 horse, and four pieces of artillery.. Tw o squadrons of the 9th regiment of Chasseurs pass - id the `bridge arid charged those placed to defend it. — ,They fired some discharges of case shot, :by which two Chasseurs of the 9th were wounded. The infantry, having also passed the bridge, took possession of a plantation of olives, where a part of the enemy was stationed. The sth '.hussars passed the river-at a ford to the right of : the town, and the remainder of the cavalry de • 'touched, covering the artillery and the reserve. The 9th Light Infantry then made a rapid move ment on the town, while the cavalry turned to "the right. The enemy, vigorously attacked in front and threatened on his flanks, endeavoured to effect a precipitate retreat by the bridge of the Tagus, and in the direction of that of Arzobispo, and, succeeding in gaining the wood which lay " on his right, avoided the charge of our cavalry, who had made a movement to get at him. The enemy had many killed, a great number wounded, :and we have taken 60 prisoners, among whom are a Lieutenant-Colonel tind some Officers. He has also lost l 5 waggons 'laden with arms, and 'his military chest, containing 40,000 francs. " General Vallin reports that the troops charged with much spirit and enthusiasm, and lie mentions M. de Chabautte, -Chef d'Escadron of the - Oth : Chaiieurs, who commanded the first charge; . 'Captain Comte de Bouille, Aid-de- Camp of the 'Duc de Reggio • Captain Com. pagniac of the 9th Light In fantry ,• Captain Mathias, his Aid-de-Crimp ; and Lieutenant Milo, of the 13th Light Infantry, as having par ticulurty distinguished themselves. The greates 'order continues to reign in Madrid. (Signitd) " Major-tieneral Comte GUILLEMINOT." FOURTH CORPS. The Duke of Conegliano informs the Minister of War, in a dispatch dated Carda-Deu, 20th "May, that General Donnadieu is in commonly'. `tion with Parhphile-Lacroix, commanding the `6th Division (ad Corps) at Balaguer. SIXTH BULLETIN. The 'first Bulletins of the Army have already made known its operations from the commencement of the campaign to the time when his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief had fixed his head-quarters at Vittoria, with the intention of wait ing there until he should be apprised of the result of certain =movements effected in Castile and Arragon. Before crossing the frontiers, Monseigneur bad been assured that the mass of the Spanish nation was highly dissatisfied with the yoke of the !Cortes. lie could not, however, until he advanced into Spain, 'have been able to form an idea of the enthusiasm with which 'the people is animated ; and it was not until be reached the Ebro that he was able to learn the means of defence of which the Revolutionists were possessed. The first operations of the Army were therefore performed with all proper precaution. But on arriving at the Miro, the Prince General in £hief seeing that the French soldiers were received throughout as liberators, that theyfound among almoatall ela.ses of' Spaniards allies full of warmth and zeal, that the small bodies of troops who obeyed the orders of the Conte could not at any one place offer any thing like a serious resistanee, considered himself bound to de part from the ordinary rule s of war, and to dispatch large detachments to effect quickly the liberation of Arragon and The first corps occupied Barges, and pushed he parties out ir all directions, and every where received proofs of the impa tience with which the French troops were expected at Vallado lid, and even at Madrid. The second co r p s havin g traversed N ava rre, arrived'at Saragossa, where it Was received withation the -liveliest transports of joy, and the numerous popul of the city took up arms in order t o j oin it. Its operations :Were seconded by the Royalists under General Laren. The 'Royalist authorities were re-established in the large provinces, and in the three provinces of Iliscay, as well as in that of St. A ndere. Measures were taken to insure order and tranquillity throughout the country. These successes proved that the same system of operations Could be followed. The second Corps received orders to add vane to Catalonia, to facilitate the operations of Marshal the Duke de Conegliano, and to cover at the same time the move ments of the remainder °Me army on Madrid. Ws Royal Highness, with the corps of reserve, quitted Vit toria on the bth of May, arrived at Burgos on the Bth, and on the 13th set out to proceed by . Aranda to M adrid. Marshal the Duke de Reggio,. with the advanced guards of Geo. Vallin, and the divisio n of Antichamp, set out on the 7th 'front Burgos toNallitdolid, where a b r illiant reception was pre •pared for him. Monseigneur placed provisionally -under his orders the Body Guard* of the King, the Cuirassiers and :Dragoons of the Ostard, as well wt the Cuirassiers of the division of General Roussel d'llarbet. All that column was to effect a movement on blialrid by the way of Segovia. At the same time the division Obert of tbenrst Corps, which since the passage of the Ebro had occupied Logrono and Tu. dela, commenced a similar movement on the capital by the way Agreda and Alnutnean. During its march this divi sion received us well as tbe other columns the most enthusi watie reception from the people. On its arrival at Siguenza, it put itself in communication with the Spanish General Bes- AIMS, who had just had an engagemen t with the rear-guard o jialaareros, from which he had taken four cannons, and 200 • prisoners. Daring this movement on Madrid, the division Bourke ofl the first corps, which had been left at Burgos, proceeded to Cardoso in order to act according to the necessities of the ,Kingdom of Leon anti of the Asturias. Four of its battalions were ordered under General blerquerie to cover St. Andero, 'sad the blockade of Santana, fonned by the Spanish Royalist troops. Ilia Royal Highness ordered the Co' inmandant of the third cove, the Prince of Liohenlohe, to remove his head-quarters to Vittoria, where he could continue to direct the operations ne - 'assail, for the blockade of Pampeluna and St. Sebastian, as well by detachments the line of communication from • aft Yrun W cover runto Burgos, by preserv ing the order and tranquillity which prevailed in those provinces. The troops under his command which formed, the blockade of St. Sebastian and Pampeluna do not came to give the best proof of their zeal ; and at all times that the garrisons of those places have made any attempts they .repelled them with the liveliest ardour.ed the division Loverdo Oefieral Molitor , after having push ,sail that cithed rugo ons under Oen. Donlon as far as D aroca, Ilitalayud, and even to Teruel, could no longer doubt that the :retreat of Ballasteros to Valencia had been determined on, as the I.tisses of the latter G e neral, by the continual desertions of his soldiers, left hint no means of acting on the offensive ; having `therefore left a garrison at Saragossa, and having placed the Royalist corps at Borjs, at Catalayud, and at Daroca, he recalled 41a imams of his corps of the army front the right bank of the `Ebro, to join . them with the division Pamphile-Lacroii,.atich, Since the bit of May, had commenced Itamovement onsCatzt. lonia by themarch of the two first brigades to Traga, and of the brigade d'Arbaud-Jouques.by Aleubierra on Mouzon. This division arrived on the bth at the Cinea. =The fort of Mouzon was occupied by 150 regular troops, and by some hundred re venue officers, and by the exaltudos of the country. General d'Arbaud Jouques was not able to pass the r iv e r, and was there fore convened to re-establish the ferry-boat of Poniard, where the overflow of Ihe waters having increased the difficulties, he was not able to get over to the left bank of the Cinca until the Bth. A party of the 4th of the line proceeded immediately to Mouzon, and topk possession of the city, after a smart firing. The enemy, on retiring , from the field, left five men dead - . one corporal of the 4 th regimen t received a sli g ht wound. This fort was then invested, and in the night of the 10th and 11th General d'Arbaud Jouques caused to be carried by a corn. pany,of grenadiers and of light troops, with bayonets drawn, the redoubt called the Old Castle, which was troublesome to the town, and the capture of which shut up all the garrison of the fort. On the 9th a party of the 13th Regiment proceeded to Barbastro, where la Barque d'Eetatiilla was defended with ad vantage by the Royalist peasants against the Revolutionary soldiers. General Pamphile-Lacroix, who was at Traga, sent on the 6th a squadron of the 4th Chasseurs to reconnoitre Lerida. A party of the enemy was met at Sons ; the squadron charged them, and pursued them to Alcarez, and took a Quarter -master prisoner. ()n the 9th, Colonel Levaeseur of the Bth Light Dragoons of the Brigade of St. Chamans, proceeded with one of his battalions, and a detachment of the Chasseurs of l'Arriege towards Alcarez. The garrison of Lerida consisted of two hundred infantry and thirty dragoons t the latter having advanced, fell into an ambuscade, and were immediately charg ed by the chasseurs anti both men and horses were lost, and several besides•wouilded, one mortally by the Lieut. d'Anger. Quarter -master Mirat and the ,Clutaseur Lamarche arc highly spoken of by Gen. Count Molitor, who has given an account of all the soldiers who have distinguished themselves in each of his engagements. This" General having left troops to observe Lerida and Mouzon, proceeded along the Segro with the re mainder of the division, Pamphile-Lacroix, while the other divisions came to join with him through Alequinenza and Traga, at which place Gm. Loverdo was on the 18th. The second corps has, therefore, withodt doubt, effected a communication with Marshal die Duke de Conegliano, who having followed , the enemy in the different directions taken by them since they were compelled to quit their position on the right bank of the Fluvia, and particularly on the 1 7th. at Cam St. - tel-Tersol, when General Donnadieu , with the brigade of Priest, and the Spanish troops of General Romagosa, warmly attacked them, and caused them a considerable loss. On arriving at Buitrago, on the 17th of May, his Royal Highness found a Depilation from Count Abisbal, authorized by the Municipality of this city, which proposed the complete evacuation of it, on the arrival of the French army, in or der to avoid the results of the abandonment of an Immense population. This proposal was'exactly iii accordance with the intentions of his Royal Highness, and was therefore at once accepted by him. It was stipulated at the same time verbally, that a corps, under the orders of General Zayas, should remain at Madrid till the 24th, where the French troops were to ta ke p ossession, and occupy the situations of the National Guard, and also the Police bittablishments. But the Royalist General Bessieres, anxious to he foremost in occupying the capital, and not aware of the Convention which had been concluded, pushed forwards on the 20th. There was afterwards an engagement, in which Bessieres lost some hundreds of prisoners. This rash enter prize having caused much agitation amongst the populace, his Royal Highness had deemed it advisable to accelerate the en. trance of the French troops into Madrid: The advanced guard of the Corps de Reserve and a brigade of the first corps occupied this city on the 23d at day-break, from which: time the most perfect order has prevailed. His Royal Highness entered Madrid in person on the 24th, at nine in the morning, at the head of a corps de reserve, while his Excellency the Marshal Duke of Reggio entered at the same time by the road of Segovia, with the troops destined for that purpose. The remainder of Obert's - division also arrived yes terday at Madrid, and they . were received by the inhabitants with the liveliest demonstrations of joy. The French troops during their long marches have never once ceased to preserve the strictest discipline, aad have con tinually manifested a desire to prove their devotion to the cause. Ily command of his Royal Highness, The Major-General Count (IUILLESIINOT. Head-quarters, Madrid, May 25, 11123. (,From the Mote of Thursday.] PAWS, Ju Nit s.—News from Seville has been received to the 20th ult. The disorganization which was pretended to have reigned in that town did not exist—tranquillity prevailed in the city, and the Cortes peaceably continued their legisla tive labours. Merchants in Paris complain of the want of punctuality of their correspondents at Perpignan. (This is an insinuation that the letters from the Catalonian frontiers are stopped, be cause they contain unfavourable news.— Translator.) Letters from St. Petersburg') announce positively that the commencement of hostilities between Russia and the Porte is I not far distant. MADRID, MAY 21.--•T110 Commander-in- Chief ordered the following notice to be pub lished yesterday : " COIIIIIIANDFA IN CHIEF OF THE PROVINCE. , 1 " I, Don Joseph de !ayes, bieutenant-General of the na-1 tional armies, mate known that the French army will enter this capital on thi 24th, according to the convention agreed on, I immediately after a brigade of the army shall have relieved, atl nine o'clock in the morning, all the posts which will be occu pied till then by the troops under my orders. Charged with the preservation of order during this interval, I hope, from the wisdom which characterises this illustrious population, that I shall not be reduced to the necessity of employing the force'. which I have at my disposal, nor of making an appeal to the French army, to repress and punish, as I shall most undoubt edly do, with all the rigour of the military laws, any disorder, whatever it may be, which may in the slightest degree disturb the public tranquillity. The rigorous discipline which I shall order to be maintained by the troops under my command, will be the surest guarantee of the firm resolution which I have taken narrowly to watch over the tranquillity and security of the inhabitants of this heroic capital, and of the desire which animates me in withdrawing from its bosom, not to carry away any other recollections than those of' the virtues which have dis tinguished it in all times. Madrid, May 20. " JOSEPH DE ZA.YAS." EVENTS OF YESTERDAY EVENING. All the inhabitants of this heroic capital, in the midst of uncertainty and pain, were yesterday tranquil on account of the confidence which they have in the patriotism and virtues of the Con,- mander-in-Chief, and the more so, as scarcely any one was ignorant of the'capitulation agreed to by him and his Excellency the Commander of the French army, when, contrary to the expectations of every man in his senses,,a column of more than a thousand infantry and cavalry, commanded by Bessieres, presented itself at the Gate of Alcala, one of the entrances into Madrid. This chief detached there a party of ten lancers to recon noitre, who reached as far as the Custom House with a few inhabitants, who were uttering dread. ful cries. This unexpected event obliged our General to order a company to advance, which, after firing on the aggressors, compelled them precipitately to retreat as far as the Cibeles, where Bessieres was" statiOssed. This General himself (Bessieres) immediately came forward to speak to the commander of the company, who observed to him that he must re• treat, and that he could not keep the position he occupied without violating one of the articles of the capitulation concluded with the Chief of the French army.—" It is to the latter alone," said Zayas, " that the place shall bus given up ; he sides, according to the laws of war, the capitula tion should be scrupulously observed. If the French General were informed of what passes he would be grieved, because he has testified the warmest desire to preserve public tranquillity, and o ff ered me his own soldiers to attain that object." in spite of reasons so solid, Bessieres answered, that " accustomed to conquer, he was resolved to enter Madrid, though he should do so by main force." Our excellent Commander, Zayaq, then replied—" Place yourself at the head of your cotumn—fight I. IT 'you donquer you shall enter Madrid, but not otherwise." In consequence our General Zayas gave the promptest and most opportune orders for the Con stitutional troops to attack the column of Bes- , sieres, which kept up a warm fire from the gate of Alcala. Our garrison drove back the enemy's, troops, but between the two Yentas the latter made a stand, and a general action ensued. Our artillery having fired six rounds very apropos, threw disorder into the ranks of our enemies. A squadron of cavalry, commanded by D. Barthelemy Amor, charged them and threw them into a complete rout. The result of this action has been about 80 men killed, a great number wounded, and 700 prisoners. Bessieres was fortunate enough to get off with six or eight horse. At seven o'clock a French Officer entered the city with a flag of truce ; it is asserted he brings an tiller of troops to maintain order.—(Diario de Madrid.) ( From the Con. titutionnel.)_ PARIS, JUNE 4.---The Grand Master of the University has renewed the Academic Council of Nancy, as he had previously renewed that of Strasburg. Thus the grand system of cpurations is pursued with a religious perseverance. If we may judge from all that has been effected, there never has been an Administration so pure as ours. Three of the Members of the Council of Nancy have been changed ; amongst them we find M. Cuvier, a very estimable Citizen and Professor. Ile has for his successor the Grand Vicar of the Bishop. M. Cuvier is of the same religion and the same family as the celebrated and learned individual who sits in the King's Councils, and who has occupied in the Univer sity the same situation as the Grand Master. Perhaps it would have been, wise not to have adopted such a measure against M. Cuvier, as it may he presumed that the malcontents will not fail to remark that lie is a Protestant. The execution of the law has commenced which recalls the Veterans; unfortunately many of them made haste to take advantage of their discharge by marrying. (From the Journal des Debats.) PARIS, JUNE 4.—We give the Address pre sented to the Duke d'Angouleme by the majo rity of the Grandees of Spain.* This important paper may he considered as the expression of the wishes and intentions of this noble part of the Spanish nation. It is an answer to the two prin cipal calumnies aimed against the adversaries of the absurd and anarchical Constitution of the Cortes. iFrom the Courier Frauttais.l PARIS, JUNE 4.—lt has been remarked tha, .he Address of the Grandees of Spain is signed by several Countesses, Duchesses, 'Marchionesses, &c. As there are. no widows amongst these ladies, we know not whether they act by procu ration for their husbands, or whether,holding the Grandeeship of their Chief, they are enabled to act in their own names without any other autho. rity. To determine this question we must be in formed of the statutes re,specting.Grandees, but the statutes are but little known, the Grandees of Spain having rarely had occasion to speak or to act as a body of the State. In addition to the address which they have signed at Madrid, there is no other instance, except at the period when Napoleon dreW the Spanish Royal Family to Bayonne. The Duke de l'lnfantado, who has been appointed President of the Regency esta blished at Madrid, then addressed to Joseph Nopoleon in the name of the Grandees of Spain the following speech 4 , We experience the greatest satisfaction in presenting our selves T iti r ea r t e y s , en f e r e on o l f whose y ou rreignma estyi s theSelamrnnleasrttlly desired, s to fix tife ideas, to conciliate the intere s ts , and e re. before e order so nece s sary for the restoration of the hope eir e d, ceesrf especiallytaab r y t e l i t i i s n T h gO. the t tu Spanish country. sire—The Grandees of Spain have been celebrated in all times for their fidelity towards their Sovereigns. Your Ma jesty will find in them the same fidelity and the same devotion. May you receive our homage with that goodness, of which so many proofs have been given to your people of Naples, and the renown of which luta reached Us." A great number of young men were remarked yesterday in Paris dressed in black with crape round their arms. The greater part of them belong to the school of law, and they thus cele brate the melancholy anniversary of the death of the unfortn nate Lallemand. 'they proceeded in the morning to the resi dence of the mother of Lallemand, who was snatched away at so early an are from his family, of which he was the hope. It is said that accounts from Catalonia arrived yesterday to the effect, that Marshal Moncey, in order to prosecute his plan of operations, and the better to concentrate his force, had deemed it expedient to evacuate Mataro. • The number of Orandees of Spain amounts to upwards of 100 ; many of them are at present in foreign countries ; some, a small number, have j oine d the re volutionary party ; nearly a fourth are foreigners. The signatures to the Address to Ate Duke d'Angouleme are, therefore, those of the majority of Grandees of Spain. THE GREEKS. MARSEILLES, MAY 26.—The latest intelli gence from Greece is dated Nauplin, April 26. The National Congress has been much strengthen ed by the presence of the most powerful Mili tary Chiefs, who have at length yielded to the solicitations of Ypsilanti and Mavrocordatos. Colocotroul has shewn himself less tractable than the others. Odysseus has exceeded the public expectation, and Petrobey has conducted himself with great propriety at the Congress, which could hardly have been looked for from leaders of banditti, as they are called. The Greek Beet, well equipped, particularly with combustibles, was waiting the arrival of the Turkish fleet with great confidence. A report has already reached us that the former has dis comfited the Alexandrian squadron. If the land forces can hold out during the present campaign, Greece is sav e d. The Greek Government is organizing a regular force, which includes many Germans. BA.YONNE PAPERS. BAYONNE, MAY 2g.—The letters brought by the army courier from Madrid not being yet delivered, we can only speak of the reports in circulation here. Opinions are very much divided respecting the Council of Castile, convoked by the Duke of Angouleme. Some persons rho are well acquainted with almost all the Ministers of that Council think that scarcely a fourth part of them will comply wi t h the 'Prince's invitation, who, however, will supply theirplacea by otherpersons, friends of the ancient system. It is thought that the decrees of this Junta cannot have the force of laws, unless they arc supported by the French arms. A report is current here, that it is not intended to confine to Spain the advantages of a new Govern ment, but that Portugal, is to participate in them. In supp o r t of this motion, it is affirmed that the Patriarch of Lisbon, who has long resided here, is going to leave us, to pre cede the Portuguese Junta, which will meet first at Vallado lid ; we can say nothing to this news, except that we yester day saw the above-mentioned Prelate pay unusual visits, which are said - to have been for the purpose of taking leave. — Since Yesterday reports have been circulated, affirming that General Dormadieu was .completely beaten by Mina, on the 19th, and afterwards taken prisoner at Vich, and that General Curial had been defeated in four successive engagements,which took place up to the 23d.—If this were true, the situation of Marshal Moncey would certainly be critical, and the left win' of our army much exposed. The ce ntre and ri g ht win g would then be in a position rather hazardous, advanced as they are into the country, especially if, as is positively affirmed, the corps the Pastor, which is in the Asturias, and that of Gam. nillo in the environs of Santander , are to unite in an a ttack on VVittoria, and to occupy with the ten thousand men that compose them the important defiles of Salinas, while General Morino, with the army of Galicia, and the foreign legion from England, landed at Corunna, would attack the first corps in flank as far as Madrid, the further occupation of which would then be very hazardous. This part of the plan is said to originate with Sir It. Wilson, who will serve only as a volunteer, and with a French General Officer now in exile, who appears only in the Council. Should it be carried into effect, and our army find it necessary to retire from Madrid, it must be towards Arragon (that is, if the Spaniards occupy Salinas, and then it may take up a position on the left of the Ebro), and the head-quarters be fixed at Saragossa. Then, perhaps, it may be thought proper seriously to press the siege of Pampeluna, St. Sebastian, and Santona, which have hitherto been so incompletely blockaded, that the garrisons continue to obtain supplies, which will enable them to make a longer resistance when they are attack ed in form. Thus say the advocates of the Spanish Cortes,— the war is not finished, but the resistance announced by the Spanish Ministers will now begin. The Captain of a ves sel, who left Saint Andero on Sunday, reports, that there were no French troops there, nor any of the Army of the Faith ; that the remains of the latter bad been collected by Longa, and led by him before Santora. The town is for the present left to itself, all the civil and military authori ties of the two parties having left for fear of reaction ; the place, however, is tranquil.—An English vessel entered St. Se bastian the day before yesterday, the French squadron cruising before the port not thinking proper to insult the British flag. A person who has conic from the environs of ParopelunCsays, that on Friday a salute of 101 cannon was fired there, which should seem to announce some great rejoicing. We do net know what may have been the occasion, unless they had receiv ed news of the reported victory of Mina on the 19th.—The Guer rilla of Chapellengara daily becomes stronger. It has been for some days in the Bonen', where it is supposed that it will act for the future. A considerable number of caissons with provisions have .been sent to the army. The workmen are still very actively engaged in the palisading of our place, and .repairing the walls, which have been neglected for a long - me. THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY. The new Ministry is at length definitely formed at Seville. So much depends upon the course which it will pursue, and so little comparatively is known in England of the political parties and public men of Spain, that the following sketch of its members may not be uninteresting : " PXRES DE CASTRO was distinguished in the Cortes dur ing the war of independence, and had a leading share in direct ing the efforts of the Patriots from the commencement of the insurrection up to the formation of the Constitution of 1812, in determining the basis of which he took an active part. Upon the return of Ferdinand in 1814, he was exiled for his services to his country and its restored Sovereign. Upon the breaking out of the revolution in 1820, he once more re-appeared, be came Minister of State, Member of the Extraordinary Cortes, and Minister of Foreign Relations, under the Constitutional regime. He is a man of moderate character, and it is supposed , diet if modifications of the Constitution were proposed, under any other auspices,than those of foreign bayonets, he would not be averse. - -- - - " CALATRAVA, notwithstanding the modesty with which he noteof .

" ZARCO DE VALLE has performed several military fune tions with distinction, particularly as Commandant-general of Arragon, where he was the terror of the factious, or partisans of the Faith. He is closely connected by friendship with Mina, and is considered more ambitious of fame than of power. " Yandicols, the Minister of Finance, has passed his life in the duties, or the study of that branch of government. He was a Member of the Cortex in 1814, when Ferdinand returned, and escaped the fate of his patriotic colleagues, by taking refuge in England, where he passed his time in the study of financial science. in 1020, he became Treasurer. General, and has dis charged that office up to the time of his being appointed to the supreme direction of that department. 6 ' Baraz, the Minister of Marine, is a distinguished naval officer, who has not taken a marked sh are in p olitics, but is known to be a decided Constitutionalist. " Vautt.t.o was a conspicuous Deputy in 1020 and 1021 ; and by his disinterested and energetic character, obtained the confidence of the province of Cadiz, remarkable for its Consti tutional zeal. During the popular effervescence at Seville and Cadiz, in 1820, he.proved himself the friend of order, as he bad before shown himself the champion of liberty." From the foregoing alight sketch of the men now at the helm of Government at Seville, no decisive judgment can be form ed.—They are, however, of a more moderate cast than their towing observation, which, if correct, would imply, that there was no likelihood of their submitting to any changes of the Spanish Constitution, dictated by the French :—" All the= Ministers promise the strongest guarantees, as public men and As citizens, for the integrity of the Constitutional system,—and all Spaniards should rejoice at their nomination." the, ABDICATION OF ITURI3II7E• tFrom the Charleston Courier of May 3.] One of our papers (the 20th ult.) contains the following article under the bead of New Spain ; by which it will..be perceived, that Iturbide has laid down the imperial power, and has determined to leave the empire of Mexico. The following articles were read in the Mexican Congress by request othis'lmperial - Majesty Don Augustin Iturbide, at an extraordinary meeting held in Mexico on the 13th wf March, • 1823 :- 1. Congress having recognized and approved the proceedings of Cate Meta, the causes of my retaining forces in the vicinity of the capital have ceased to exist; but as any only view was to sustain and protect that body, the division heretofore existing on my account is therefore at an end. 2. 1 accepted the crown with great reluctance, and only ac quiesced through a desire to serve my country. But from the moment I perceived that to retain it would serve as an excuse or pretext far an intestine war, I determined to abdicate it. I did not conclude this course before, because there was not a body to represent the nation generally recognized; and I con ' alder that any step taken by me, unless there was, would have been both useless and injurious to the country : there now exists one, and I accordingly abdicate. 3. My presence is this country would be always apretext for disturbances ; and projects of which I might have never thought might be attributed to me. In order, therefore, to remove sus- picion, I will leave this country, and direct my steps to a foreign one. 4. - Ten or fifteen days will be sufficient to regulate my domes. tic afflirs, and take the necessary measures to conduct my handy a nd myself away. 5. I will only request of Congress to pay from the national funds those debts which I have contracted with some particular friends, which are not of great consideration, although Congress left it to my option to make use of such funds as I thought proper; but I could not appropriate funds to my private use, when the necessities of the army and other public functionaries reached my heart. APO LEXY.—In a person predisposed to apo. plexy, whatever is capable of increasing the efflux of blood to the brain, or checking its re turn from that organ, will produce apoplexy, and no operation of the mind occasions a greater determination of blood to the brain than anger.

Why not, indeed, since so many illustrious Wits have belonged to the latter University ? This Work consists of a variety of Compositions from Members of Cam bridge University, which, in general, have been well selected, and which altogether form a very agreeable Miscellany of Poetical Effusions front - CHAUCER down to Lord BYRON, comprehending some of the lighter productions of COWLEY, MILTON, RANDOLPH, BEN J OHNSON, PRIOR, and many others of a later date. The subjects are various, and the whole is amusing.— The Work is elegantly printed. A vignette, designed with taste, and well engraved, re presents a sort of table, on which the Poetical Tart is placed. The College Cap to indicate the University, and a Harp, as the symbol of the Muse, is placed below, mingled with flowers, the whole resting on a wreath or double branch. Above are the words ALMA MATER, surrounded by rays of light, on which appear the names of the several Poets whose ,productions constitute the volume. The whole forms an interesting poetical Vade Mecum, and that may well find a place among the books. which, according to the modern fashion are laid upon drawing-room ta bles. We are rather surprised that among the JouNIANs the collector did not take something from the pen of the late JOSEPH RICHARDSON, Esq. one of the writers of the memorable Rot,- • LIADS WO PROBATIONARY ODES, and author . of The Fugitive, a comedy that was much admired when it appeared, and that well merits a revival on the London Boards. This Play was lately repre sented with success on the Bath stage. As The Cumbridge Tart is not likely to be confinea to a single impression, we recommend some produc tion of Mr. IticnAnnsorr for the next edition, and shall take an early opportunity of inserting one of his Poems in our Paper for that purpose.
