any of the pretences on which the French first crossed the Bidassoa really i n d uce d th em t o commit that outrageous act of aggression, it will soon be necessary for them to send their troops again into the Peninsula. :Nothing, as it appears to us e can tranquillize Spain, —nothing can reelly re-establish peace,—but the conclusion of a treaty to which the Spanish Constitutionalists ) by the act of the Constitutional Govenzment, shall be a party The writer of the news. at Pore St. Mary says, that the regular troops in Cadiz are dissatisfied, because they are not so well fed and paid .as. tbe militia.

(BY . AN EXTRAORphgARY. COURIER..) GRAND HEAD QUARTERS. P94'st."Mary, Aug. 21. The Prince Generalissimo' wished to be with, the workmen during the opening of the trenches, which during the space of two nights have been advanced 800 toises, without any hindrance. At the moment I am writing we ure within pistol shot of the fort of Trocadero. The enemy at tempted a sortie by debarking 3 or 400 men, who approached our works ; but they were vigorously attacked with the bayonet, and obliged to re..etnbark. During the com bat the batteries made a 'continual fire, which still continues, but does not do us any harm. The sangfroid of the Prince is admit able. Ile went down all the lines under the fire of the enemy, and visited all tho forts and batteries curried by our brave troops. We are now at the third of the five days given by the Prince. There is in Cadiz a great disunion Amongst the troops of the line and the militia.— The latter receive three reaux per day, and extra rationi,, while the former receive very little. A Secretary of the French Legation at Lisbon has arrived at the flead-quarters. MADRID, 25.—Thie troops of the two divisions of the 'lst corps of the army took pos session of Coru n na on the 21st, in the Morning-- General Bourck announces that he found in that place a numerous artillery, and a great quantity of ammunition, and of provisions of all kinds. General Novella, the Governor, and Campine, with the Pastor, are missing from the garrison. Marshal the Duke of fteggle infeims his nigh. !less that perfect tranquillity 'reigns at Madrid, a►►d in the whole of the district under his emus mand. Prince Irohenlohe presses with great vigour the blockade of Santona. Marshal Lauriston is occupied with great activity at the siege of Pam peluna. MADIUD, AUG. 21.—Amongst the Generals vllO have remained at Seville, we observe Espe leta, son of the Count of that name, Viceroy of Navarre, who was one of the !nest faithful ser- rants of the King. P uYcturm, A ua. 20.—We arc assured to-day 411 " the Constitutional army carries with it 400 M . 5 00 mules, laden with provisions. 'l'heywere on t he 18th at Solsona and its environs. We are given lo understand ascertain that Baron d'Eroles,Saars fi eld ) Manso, and a French General, are at Pons, ►mtereepting the passage of Seu. It is thought that the intention of Milans and Llobera is to move again on Calaf. This army, which was composed a few days ago of from 7 to 8,000 men, has diminished to 5,000. ( From at Pink of Yrsierdoll.) It' is reported ou 'Change that the confident lloPes which were entertained of the approaching cessation of hostilities have greatly diminished. it is much feared that in a few days we shall hear the result of a new rupture. truarr., AUG. 19.—The enemy left yesterday (the 18th) the town of Solsona, taking the direc tion of • Calaf and Riosca. If the garrison of Urg e ! depended on the expedition of Milans and Llohera for succour, they are deceived, as dis positions were taken to frustrate the enemy. PitneioN.tx, Atm. 20.—We learn that Milans occupies the environs of Berga. AUG. 21.—The position of the enemy, accord- ' ing to a letter from Berge, was on the 19th at Guisana. lie was followed by an enormous convoy of cattle. The propositions of the Duke of ANGOULEME, it WAS said, ware addressed personally to the King FannINAND,But the French Flag of Zruce was told by the Spanish Ministry that lie must deliver his firopositions to thou. tiis reply was, that his orders were to deliver the letter of which he was the bearer to the King only.— Lie was accordingly sent about his business. But then it is said that Admiral VALDEZ at tenth re ceived the communication from the Messenger! Supposing this to be true, and supposing further (what by no means appears) that VALDEZ laid the document before the KING, then, we would ask, who is to carry the answer to the Duke of ANGOULENIE ? The Ministry, of course, will not .t—the KING CUIIIIOI this step be the only one taken towards a nego elation, it seems to have been frustrated at the outset .! CITY, 0/IC o'Clock.—Consols opened this morn ing at 831. and got up to 83. t, at which they arc steady, with little doing. The Expresses from Paris have brought the French Rentes at 9:21. 55c.; Spanish 43. Private accounts from the above capital state that great fear is enter tahred there that the Cortes will not accede to the terms of the Duke d'ANGOULEME.— They also state, that when the live days allowed by the Prince have expired, the Frerreh will immediately storm the Trocadero, and that, hav ing that port in their ,possession, they will be able to bombard Cadiz.—There was little doing in any Foreign Funds except Colombia, and New Spanish Bonds. Colombia opened at 48 — went down to 43—and rose again t044-45-44f ; Spanish 371. [FROM A COIMEST'ONDENT.] VITE -MARIE BETTERA VODOPITCH. Since our mention of this person being brought before the Privy Council on Saturday last, and who unanimously determined that he should be sent out of the country, we are enabled, from an authentic register, to give his real names which are as stated above. Why he quarrelled with the last and planted Count, in advance of those he chose to retain, is best know it to himself :—, we know that a name frequently help a man to forttine and honours, though it now and then has a direct contrary effect. We shall not, however, 'quarrel with him about his honours nor se(perealedtitlesput proceed to state a feW circum. stances which deserve to be known, in addition to what we first.made known in THE SUN a short time ago. Mr. V. M. Vonorrrcu left his C0t111.• try, Ragusa, about 25 years ago, where he is less known than in any capital in Europe. In 1815 he was in Genoa, and employed by BUONIPMITE, then in Elba, from whom he received au officer's commission, we believe " Lieutenant," 'for valuable and honourable ser vices few will doubt ; but unaccountable to relate, this new-made warrior failed to meet his master in the hour of need ; in vain did t►e look and call for his aid. VITE MARIE gETTEItA VODOPITCII was not there, and the Battle of Waterloo was lost !! ! The cock that fights, &c. &c. but he who keeps out of the way alto gether, is still more prudent.—We are further enabled to state, from positive authority, that this individual was sent out of Russia under a similar order to that which deprives him of a fur ther residence in England. As the following paragraph appeared only a part of our impression on Saturday, we repri " COUNT BETTERL—The Privy 'Council, we un derstand, met this day to hear the appeal of this person. Lord LIVERPOOL, Lord BEXLEY, the Marquis of IlEnTrottv, Lord flEaEsFonn, and other Members, were present. The Count, it is said, spoke about half an hour, chiefly complain ing of the ill-treatment which lie had received from Prince ESTERUAZY. It is understood to have been decided, that he shall leave the king dom." Count lIETTAttA, who has excited so much a' ,elitioii, is said to be a native of Russia. The KING is expected to remove to Windsor Castle in the course of the present week ; on which occasion, it is said, two oxen and several sheep will be roasted whole. The poor of Wind sor and Etun are to dine the following day in the Long Walk, and the town is to be illuminated for two successive nights. Letters from Buenos Ayres of the 25th of May were received on Saturday. Two Commissioners had arrived there on a mission from the Spanish Government, but M. itivadavia refused to hold any communication with them on the object of their voyage, or to receive their credentials, un less they were prepared previously to state that they had full powers to treat for an acknowledg ment by Spain of the independence of Buenos Ayres. Not being able to comply with this con• dition, the Commissioners were not admitted to a hearing, but they remained in the city, and were treated with civility and respect. Advices from Chili had arrived at Buenos Ayres to the 2d of May, without any intelligence of moment re garding that State; but news h a d b een r ece ived through Valparaiso from Lima that 0,000 Royal ist Spaniards were on their march on that city, at a distance of 25 leagues, but it was expected that the Colombian reinforcement from Guaya. gull would arrive in time to assist in repelling the meditated attack. Many of the principal in habitants, however, had gone to Callao for se clarity. The Duke and Duchess of CLAIVENCE came to town on Friday morning from Bushey, and paid a viset to the Princess SOPUIA, at her residence at the King's Palace, Kensington, and after wards returned to Bushey In the afternoon. The Earl of HoerronN, we regret to state, died last week, at his seat, Hopetoun House, in Scotland. His Lordship was also Baron 110 PE, in the Comity of Lanark : and Baron HoraTonN in England.

The exnectedentertatnraent had been talked of for tt whole month , and hail excited much expectation in the city. At four o'clo c k the company had col lected on the lawn, where several marquees and tents were pitched. Cold roast and boiled beet, cold tongues and ham, were in abundance. The wines were Port, Sherry, and Ma deira, but we believe many of the company who knew the hospitable disposition of Sir Charles, abandoned the punctilio which they might have observed towards others, for before five o'clock the stock of wine absolutely failed • not a drop was to be had. Dancing then commenced on the lawn, but the grass was a link: damp. Iltiwever, 'these disappointments were not very. severely felt, for the air was tilled with sweet sounds, and pro.aenading was better calculated for the sea son than the poetry of motion. rn the evening in the gar dens there were upwards of two hundred and eighty per sons present, and among them we observed Lord LitsKINE • and Lord FIFE, and Lady WENT straTrt. The com. 'puny began to depart before nine o'clock, and it WAS re marked, that the air was so keen and wholesome, that 1 it not only bestowed appetites on the party while at Mill-hill, but on their return from the hospitable spot.

A SABBATH among 'llw MOUNTAINS [From ass MO iPter.l Extracts from a Critique in the Sabbath School Magazine on " A Sabbath Among the illountanas;" b'Y Ur. JAMES GRAY', Principal of the Belfast Academy. The subject of a Scottish Sabbath is fitted 'to awaken the highest sentiment of poetry, or the admira tion of a philanthropic heart, or the overflowing gratitude of the said in love and' adoration of him who established it.—The poet has • often made it the subject of his song— the philanthropist has dwelt upon it, as upon one of those bright spot% in the circle of human existence, enough to eradicate the whole, and cover as with a mantle, those dark shades of human suffering at which the soul sickens__ and the' believer in Jesus hails it as the day of high in. tercouse with the celestial world. There is no want of Va . - riety, or of interest connected with it. And the poem before us sheWs, that the ground which had been previously occupied by . Mosts Browne, or Graham, or S trut h ers, had still left suf ficient space for the genius of one not inferior to either, to give us a very beautiful and a very descriptive outline of a " Sidi bath among the Altiuntains." We shall give a few short specimens. The Spot where the scene is laid is thus described : There is an Isla, by balmy breezes blest; A green gem in the ocean of the west, Where first the spring unfolds the mountain flower, And summer lingers longest in the bower. Bright ocean -lakes the favoured shores surround, Waving in sun-light like a zone unbound, Stretching afar among romantic hills, Till to the charmed eye they seem like rills, Groves ofunsuilied verthire fringe the land, Whose branches cast their shadows' in the strand, Or •are within the liquid mirror seen, In forms more lovely and a softer green. • Smooth as the summer sea the ,valley lies, The little hills lik e summer billows rise, Succeeding still in gentle interchange, Amid the garden, or the woodland range; Till nature seems the work of matchless art, And art, like nature, steals upon the heart: Among the various objects described at the house of worsh`p we cannot help giving the following to our readers:_,. A gentle one was seen in mournful mood,. In bitter hour of early widowhood. Her eye in tears, her cheek of faded hue Shone like the pale rose in the morning dew. ner slender form was symmetry and grace, And more of heaven than earth was in her face. By beauty modelled, she was wrecked by care, By sorrow wasted, yet surpassing fair. So holy was the place, that by a breath, she feared she might disturb the houSe of death. Of all unconscious save the present ill, She was so sad, so silent, and so still, That in the light whi c h i n h er features heam'd, She had a monumental mourner seemed, Save for a boson, struggling with a sigh, And the mute language of a humid eye, Bent on a grave its she would enter there, Or upward cast as she would wing the air. 'We would fain give the whole descriptionof that scene very dear to our hearts, and for the promotion of which our little monthly publication is intended—the meeting of the Sabbath School. 13ut it is too long for our short bounds. We shall give the dosing scene of one of its nurslings, in whose hi s t o ry, as here beautif u lly s k etc h e d , we cannot help recogni z i ng a strong resemblance to our o ld f r i en d the Dairyman's Daughter. The author takes no merit in the conception ; he only give s i n poetry what wa s d e li vere d i n prose to the children of the Sabbath School, by one of the strangers (formerly mentioned) who may, :Ada!, be the very'author of the Dairyman's Daughter. Now wail the fated hour of trial past, Death, like a rescuing angel, came at last, Of gentle aspett and without a frown, No terror in his shaft hoe in his drown. Before she died, she saw her heart's desire— Iler mother like a brand plucked from the fire, To plume her pinion, faithful to his care, The man who heavenw ar d tu r ne d his steps was there ; Never was heard such eloquence of tongue, In one so feeble and in one so young ; ln wonder did he listen to her spceeh, Now was it his to learn and hers to teach. Of leaving life she spoke without a tear— Of consolation to the Christian dear— Of sin through righteousness of Christ forgiven—. And her last fainting whispers were in heaven— To die she seemed not, but to fall asleep. Resigned to gentle slumbers, sweet and deep ; And by her pates only was it known, That to the land of spirits she had gone. Still her smile tied not, still her face was fair, And though life's sun was set, its light was there. So still, so beautiful in death she beamed, • . So uncorporeal, and so shadowy seemed, . As if a guardian minister of grace Had borne her hence; and had assuimed her place. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. WELLS, SOME.RSETSII 1 RE.—T r? r: s DAY, Arra.
