These valiant warriors are undismayed at danger, their glory is to die fbr their Monarch.

Forty. ,eight hours afterwards, the saran; journal expressed the strongest indignation against every prdpasal for treating with the Govern inent at Cadiz, which it said ihontd be regarded as a Revolu tionary Government, and not recognised by the laws of nations. Scnne persons seeking to explain this sudden change in the Treasury slows al, have not been able to find any ()Cher reason f it, but the supposition that, the prepositions of the Cortes wise of a nature th:tt it was not possible to accede to them.

PRIVATE CORRESPOIjENCE. lADRID, Au G. 20, 11123. , —The Duke del Infantado and ' tl. e Minister of Foreign Affairs left this last night fot Port St. Mary's. Though this journey may be occasioned on what has taken place at Saragoisa, Vittoria; and Ili'boa, where the French were obliged to enforce at the point of the bayonet the execution of the order of the Duke d'Angouleme relative to re leasing the prisoners, yet this departaiie, so long delayed, and then all of a sudden undertaken so precipitately, gives some consistence to the report that still continues to circulate here, that the King► is or will shortly be at liberty toaccompany the Duke d'Angouleme to Madrid. It is confidently asserted to-day that 'the Duke de Reggio has received offieiallya 'copy of the following 'articles, agreed Mien and signed the 17th instant, by the Infant Dun Carlos and tivo Deputies, on one side, and the French General on the other, invested with full powers to that cfnet.

Madrid was tranquil only from time to time, and particularly in the night some alarm is caused by the noise made by the mob, who attack the houses of the Constitutionalists in prison. The Regency, finding it absolutely necessary to give orders for the release of persons confined for political causes, by virtue of the Decree of the Duke of Angouleme, has revived the old decree of the King of the Ist of June, 11114, which it has sent to all the tribunals of the kingdom, with di• rections to see it carried into execution, which in the end is just the same, in efnct, as if it had merely published the Duke's decree, only that this opposition in the Regency to the wishes of the I)ukc cannot have any good consequences, unless an arransement takes place soon, respecting which, however, the official journals and. report preserve an obstinate silence.— Meantime it is reported that the army of General Bourdesoult begins to feel the effbct of the clitnate and the heat of the season, anti that the number of sick in the hospital is very great. A courier from Port St. Mary's brings word that the Royal Family at Cadiz enjoys good, health. He has not brought a confirmation of the submission of General Zayas. The anuy of Ballalteros remains in the same position as it wax at the time when the Convention was signed with Gen. Molitor. It is said at Madrid, the M. Ouvrard is on his way to that capital. General Quesada, it seems, has repeatedly applied for permission to ented Madrid with his troops, hut the Duke of Reggio opposes it, because he is apprehensive that the pre. Renee of the soldiers of the Faith in the capital would only cause fresh disorders. The Regency continues to exert itself without success to col. lect Royal volunteers ; there is still a greater want of enthu siasm than of arms : it has been proposed to leave to the Cotn. munes the care and the expence of the levy; this would be a sure way not to succeed. There are various accounts here of a tumult at Bilhoa, in which it is reported several French were killed by the troops of the Faith. It seems that the want of French troops is much felt, and that in consequence of orders of the Prince, troops are distributing in the principal cities of Arragon and Navarre. after this, it should seem difficult to commence the siege of Pampeluna ; but it is however affirmed that the first cannon will be fired on the 15th, amidst the cries of " Nine le R o il" that day being his illajeti's fete. We have nothing new from St. Sebastian or Santana. Letters from the South of France say, that they are on the alert all along the frontier, in consequence of the movements of the Spanish Constitutional troops, it being possible that they may approach the frontier, as they have done before. All that are capable of bearing arms are ready to appear at the simrtest notice. PORT UG AL.

CoitirTANTINOVLE, JULY 25.—The difficulty of obtaining authentic intelligence from the theatre of war, was never greater than in this campaign. The Porte obeerves profound silence respecting the movements of its fleets anll armies. The corres. pondence with tOer places, even the least distant, is subject to numerous difficulties, and it costs much trouble to collect a few certain data for the various reports .that clash with each other. The Turkish troops have advanced on several points to the Morea. It is probably from NegropOnt they have gone to occupy Livadia, Thebes, and Athens;' though other reports state that they are in possession of the Thennopyhe. It is Omer Bey,.Musselim of Caristo, who has taken Athens : he has been recompensed by being created a Pacha of three tails, and appointed Governor of Negropont. The greater part of the inhabitants of Athens, as well as those of Thebes, have taken refuge in the Isle of Salamis.. In the Acropolis of Athens there is a garrison of three hun dred men, who are indeed safficientlysrovided with provisions, arms, and ammunition ; but according to the accounts of tra vellers lately arrived, they do not seem dispteted to make a long resistance. The foreign Consuls at Athens have been obliged to leave the city, in consequence of a notice given them, before • the departure of the Insurgents. Those of France and Austria have already arrived at Syra. On the other side, Mustaplra, Pacha of Scutari, who, it can not now be doubted, has joined the main army with twelve or fifteen thousand men, hark advanced to Sajona, and has taken a position on the north coast of the Gulf of Lepanto, which in- 1 dicates an intention of passing from Scala, or some other part of that coast, to the Peninsula. 'The Turks seem to have form ed the plan of entirely turning the Isthmus of Corinth, and of conveying detached corps over the Gulf, to the Alorea. This will explain why the Captain Paella, after having collected all his fleet, except a division witch blockaded Napoli di Romani, and after having attained his first objecti; has hitherto remain ed stationary near Patras. In Albania corps of troops are said to be ready to match un. der Jussuf Paella anti Omer Bfione, or even to have already marched to act against Missolunghi, which has been hitherto blockaded on the sea-side. Warned by the experience of the last campaign, th 6 Turkish commanders carry on their operations this time with more de:. liberation and prudence, and thy are abundantly supplied with provisions and ammunition. We can say nothing certain here respecting the preparation?' for defence made by the insurgents. The reports spread by themselves and their friends on this sub. ject are too romantic, and too much at variance with the well, known state tti' division in the revolted countries, to deserve credit. We must soon learn what truth there may be in them. The maritime force of the insurgents has undertaken nothing in this campaign, except the plundering and tinning expedition against the ,%siatic coast, though the chief places of rendez vous, Hydra, Spezia, and Tpsara, are not immediately threat ened: Some ascribe this inactivity to the total want of money ; others, to the discord which daily increases among theid, which separates the Islands from the Continent—the Islands them selves from each other, and even forms different parties in the same island. Meantime the Archipelago swarms with pirates, who recognise no Government, and who knowing that the Turkish merchantmen no longer appear in those seas, commit unheard of excesses against the navigation of the European Powers Austrian Observer, August 16.) No T n.—ln comparing this article with one published in the Journal des Debals, taken from the Speetateur Oriental or Smyrna—a Journal got up under the immediate controul of the Turks, it will be seen that the two Papers contain precisely accounts. It appears that the Austrian Observer has net at least on this occasion any other information but that which it derives from the Smyrna Journal. A great part of these details of the progress of the Turks must be considered only as the official exaggerations of the Ottoman Generals and Admirals. We well know that a sense of common danger has extinguished all the dames of discord in the Peloponnesus.— while The cruelties of the Turks have everywhere excited the courage of despair. [Penni the Con.ditutionnell ZANTR, .Ttit.l7 ifi—The Turkish army collected in Tiles saly, amounted from 9 5 to 30,00 men. and was formed into two columns, destined 'to act separately. One of them, conimanded d ti i r r i e le c rs tiffl o yik' o f u h ti e tit ri p T a py i lt i e tc , ha, by t b li Y e l ".lt e h i c i r tn t e n d ar t e ' h ac e i X, l Cter t t i b e e the bridge of :Mariano towards the pass of Neopatra or v s . tradjie. The Greeks, who occupied this latter point, were not numerous, and the second column, consisting of 16,000 torn, traversed this pass at the, beginning of June without meetin g . any resistance, and encamped in the neighbourhood of Nevro twilit, in Livadia. The Greek troops collected in that province being too few tp attack the enemy with success, contented themselves with occu pying the passes the enemy was obliged to go through. Mous tapha Paella, informed of this, detached a body of light troops across the almost inaccessible foot-paths of Mount Parnassus, to,occupy the principal point, and facilitate the march of the rest of his army. This body being guided by sonic Mussel men who had formerly inhabited the country, succeeded in reaching Rachova, where the few inhabitants who were unable to save themselves were put to death. From thence it. pro. cecded to Gastri, Distomon, and some other villages, all of which were burned. On June 10, this body took the route to the town of Chrysos, but a small detachment of Greeks who occu pied the defiles leading to this town, disputed its passage dur ing nine hours. In the mean time the Greek Commander, CalzodinCis, arrived front with some reintbrcements and complete ly routed the Turks, whom he pnrsued to Distortion. The Chiliarch, Gouras, arrived on the following day from Athens with some reinforcements. The Greeks then again attacked the enemy, and caused a terrible carnage, pursuing him to Nevropolis, where the Turk* took refuge in their camp. The other column which had marched towards 'Thermopylae under Mehemet' Pacha, was attacked there by Odysseus, de feated, and forced to retreat into the plains of Thessaly. Moustapha Pacha, who commanded the troops encamped at Nevropolis, afterwards put himself in motion towards Saint Luc, situated between Thebes and the town of Livadia. A. report having been spread among the Turks that the inhabi tants of Livadia had hidden all their wealth in the fortified monastery of the saute name, they felt their cupidity very much excited. Moustapha Paella, in faef, arrived there at the end of June, but a feeble garrison, aided by the Monks, rendered useless all the efforts of the Turks, who then contented them selves with investing the monastery. The Greeks, however, collected all their'fbrees with great celerity. By June 21st the President Mattromichale, accom panied by Maurocordatos, had passed the Isthmus of Corinth with all the disposable troops of the Peloponneaus, and bad taken up a position at Megara. Four clays afterwards Odys seus, having defeated the enemy at Thermopylve, rejoined Colo cotroni and Nicetas, who directed their march with die troops of the Peloponnesus towards the plains of Saint Luc. On their arrival the Greeksilless numerous than their oppo nents, encamped on the surrounding heights, and, the two armies remained for five days within sight of each other. The Greeks, during this time contented themselves with harassing, the Turks by s h a m attacks. On the sixth day they divided their force into three columns, commanded by Odysseus, Nice tas, and Colocotroni, the latter being in the centre and Com mander-ln-Chiel. The first shock was very violent, and the carnage very great on both sides, but after two houre fighting the Turks were repulsed and sought their safety in flight, leavin behind them 2,000 killed and 00 prisoners; their wounded amounted to 3,000. The whole of' their artillery and ammunition, their provisions, a number of camels and horses, remained in the hands of the conquerors. The Greeks say they have never made so valuable a cupture. General Nicetas, ai r n a med Turcophagos, particularly distin guished hims e lf ; w i t h his own hand he killed twelve Turks. Among the prison ers were nekir Pacha,add seventeen ileys of Romelia. DUEL AND N ARROW ESCAPE.—A meeting took place on Frid a y m or ning, in Battersea Fields, between a Mr. Jimmy and a Lieutenant MoN.. TAGU.

Had it been an inch low e r s it must have killed him upon the spot. The ball of Lieutenant MONTAGU slightly wounded Mr. llminY in the leg; but it was so far from being of any serious consequence, that that gentleman, (after having it dressed by the surg eon in attendance) walked a considerable distance.

FLANDERS MAIL ODESSA, A u G. IL—According to letters from Constantinople • pof the 29th of July, very great uneasiness was felt there, be cause the people seemed greatly 'irritated at the severe measures ordered by the Sultan against the authors of the massacre of the the defenceless Greeks in the environs of Smyrna. Nothing positive is known respecting the negociations of Lord Strangford. However, one of the detained Russian ships was to sail on the 28th of July for this port, and the second was to follow it in a few days. The captains of the other vessels were negociating with the agent of the Pacha of Egypt to sell their vessels to him. But it was still hoped that the efforts of the Noble Lord would at length cause some changes to be made in the firman relating to the navigation of the Black Sea. BALE, AUG. 19.—A report has been circulated of a contin gent demand of troops front Switzerland, in case the Holy Al liance should find itself obliged to act collectively against Spain. It was farther pretended, that Switzerland would be required to furnish no more regiments to France and the Netherlands, unless it would be to keep troops at the disposal of the other great powers also. All these reports appear to come from the same source to which Switzerland owes the system of calumny which has been for some time past carried on against it. BnussEr.s, Auo. 27.--Complaints have long since been made in our provinces of the height to which smuggling foreign goods into this kingdom was carried on the frontiers of France, which naturally was greatly detrimental to the public treasury and to the interest of the manufacturers of our country. it is with lively satisfaction we announce that measures are taken to repress an abuse so prejudicial to the public and to pri vate indivi duals. Besides the brigades of mareeliattrie, which are going to reinforce those stationed On the frontiers, several detachments' of troops have set out, and others shortly will follow, to he stationed along the whole line, from the fron tiers of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to the sea. It is hoped that these wise measures will have the good effects ex petted from them, and that the French companies, which in sured on such low terms the speculations of the smugglers, will be disappointed. His Majesty's decree, issued for the interest of our manufac tories, cannot fail to have beneficial effects, and may perhaps be the harbinger of similar measures with respect to other countries. Bit ussuus, Auo. 28.—ills Majesty's dectce, doted the 20th inst. was known by the merchants of Lisle and Valen ciennes the day before yesterday. The measures of reprisal which it orders against certain articles of French manufacture made a great impression in those two cities. M.

"L" (J(IIS WERE FiII:SLIM AUDL.IT LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1823. EXPRESS FROM PARTS. We have received by Express the Etoile of Saturday and the Paola of yesterday. The news from the Duke of A NGOULEME'S. Head Quarters (Port St. Mary), cannot but be regarded as of great importance, inasmuch as it proves that no arrangement had then been effected. On the contrary, the French were opening the trenches, a sortie had been made by the Consti tutionalists, and the batteries were briskly firing on the besiegers. But nothing, certainly, can be more unintelligible than the style of the French accounts. It is impossible not to believe that they are purposely written itt such a way as only to bewilder and perplex all who may attempt to obtain from them a correct view of the state of affairs. In the very article which announces that the fighting is continued before Cadiz, it is stated that the third of the five days allowed 4y the Prince has arrived! In some of the preceding accounts it had been said that the Princp, ou sending in his propositions, had allo►ved the Constitutionalists five days to consider of them; and that in the event of their rejectioa, " every thing was ready for the attack! " And yet, on the third day, we find that the French were actively prosecuting their military operations, and per haps doing all that they could do, by mak ing their approaches ! We find the Duke WAN GOULEME exposing his own person, by pas sing within reach of a brisk fire from the bat teries,—an act of courage, to say the least of it, which was altogether unnecessary, before he expiry of the five days of deliberation 0.1- lOwed to the besieged. had his propositions been peremptorily rejected, on the third day ?—There is nothing in the accounts to en able us to form an opinion, except, indeed, the fact that fig/sting had been resumed on both sides, and which.certainly indicated any thing but the existence of negociations ! A t Paris, according to the Pilote, the hopes of on amica ble adjustment are greatly diminished. Per haps it would have been more corteLt to say, that all hope of an adjustment, on the prin ciple contended for by the French Government, had entirely ceased ! We trust that this is the true state of the case; because we are convinced that an amicable and solid adjustment can be ef- . fected only, not by the recognition of the abso lute power of the Spanish Monarch, but by the recognition' of the legitimacy of the Constitutional Government, as a basis of negociation ! Cadiz may fall. The KING may be nominally reinvested with despotic authority. The Duke of ANGOULEDIn may conclude a " personal capitulation" with his Catholic Majesty. The French Govern ment may affect to consider their objects in un dertaking the war as accomplished. They may accordingly ratify a treaty of unsubstantial peace, and withdraw their armies. But,-- , Civil war will continue to rage in ,Spain ; and if
