We add .the following particulars respecting the departure of 'King Ferdinand from Seville, -which we have received to-day from Madrid from persons worthy of credit :--13n the 12th, at 7 p.m. the King set out. from Seville by land, and passed the night at Utreva ;' the I'3th at Xeres, and early on the 14th he arrived at Cadiz. Mr. Ward, who lately passed through Paris on his way -to London, had accompanied his Majesty; he returned to Seville, whence he was dispatched to London, on the evening of the 14th, by Sir W. A'Court, the British Ambas sador. :The latter was, in fact, making prepare 2ions-to depart ; bat it is b6tieved that only his lady and family will leave Seville and go to Gib •raltar ; and that his Foccellency will wait for the orders of his 'Government. On the 13th the Cortes embarked at Seville for Cadiz, on hoard of steam-boats ; all the vessels, boats, and barks have been put in requisition, to convey the officers and the suites of the Government. Some of them that remained behind were plundered. it is affirmed that there are at present in Cadiz 15,000 troops and militia.—(Journal du Paris.)

" PROCLAMATION OF THE REGENCY OF TIIE KINGDOM TO THE SPANIARDS. " SPANIARDS !—The Regency of the Kingdom addressed itself to you in the excess . of its most poignant grief, not to excite the constant loyalty of your hearts, because the Spaniards cannot cease to be faithful to the God of our Father, and to our beloved Sovereign; but to assuage the bitterness of its afilic. tion or yours, at the sight of the evils which may ensue from the melancholy situation in which the perfidious enemies of the country have placed us. " You are witnesses of the forbearance, the mildness, thb indulgence, with which the partisans of irreligion, licentious., ness, and anarchy, have been treated. You have, it is true, sometimes deplored the impunity which men -so criminal enjoy in all places; and the Regency would even have feared scenes calculated to cause Scandal, if, convinced of your wise patriot ism, it had not known that you were acquainted with the mo tive of its so mild and tolerant conduct. It must be said frank ly, this motive was, the liberty of the King and of his august family. " Spaniards, you know it, our legitimate - and adored So vereign has been deprived of the throne of his fathers. So horrible a crime has been committed to revenge the heroic answer of the Monarch, to the proposal to remove him to Cadiz—an Answer the words of which ought to be written on marble and brass. They will be the finest ornament of his. gory for many ages, and they will always be engraved on the hearts of all Spaniards. " My conscience, and the interests of my subjects, do not permit we to leave this place. As an individual, or a private person, f should see no inconvenience in removing to another place ; but, as a King, my conscience does not permit me to do so.! , _ " In speaking thus, Ferdinand has manifested his great soul and his love of his people. A Regency, named by the most furious demagogues, has been the conseqUence of so much he roism ; and Ferdinand and his Consort, and all the Royal Family, have been violently transferred to Cadiz; to Cadiz, where that act destructive of religion and the Monarchy arose. There the Monarch now is a prisoner; there is the Royal ; and can there be a Spaniard who can see such an event without indignation and without horror ? Spaniards ! Your Government confesses that it can find no expression fit to paint so horrible a crime ; your Government feels itself reduced to the eloquence of silence. " Thu Itwncy of the Kingdom confounded, it is true, by so great a crime, will not neglect to take, and it has taken firm and energetic measures to punish its authors, and to remedy • the evils caused by the implacable enemies of God and of the Monarch. Prudence and vigour will govern all its resolutions. You will, co-operate in so just an object, by confiding in your Government, which will unremittingly pursue those whose in .f real has filled our hearts with mourning." A Royalist Corps, partly composed of Portuguese, blockades 4-Ciudad Rodrigo, the siege of which will soon be begun. It is suppoied it cannot make a song resistance, being ill supplied with proviSions. Some Monks of a Convent at Madrid have caused the re venues of an estate to be seized, which had belonged to their order, and hail been held under the Constitutional system. The legal officer employed acted by virtue of authority from one of the Members of the municipality; this Member has been sum moned by the Regency, who blamed his zeal, because no reso . lotion had been taken respecting ecclesiastical property sold under the Decree of the Cortes. [FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.I GERCAIIA, Jo to: 21.—Almost all the Revolutionists of Ca talonia look refuge in Barcelona on the entrance of the French army into Spain. Terrified by the news which they have re... ceived, many of them have left that city. Count de I'Abisbal has written to his brother, who com mands the fortress of St. Sebastian, a very urgent letter, in which he exhorts him to make hid submission, and not to ex— pose the city to the misfortunes of a siege. This letter has been delivered to the Governor of Tolosa, who immediately tent it to St. Sebastian. PARIS, June 20.—There is no longer any doubt respecting the kind of Republican revolution effected at Seville : it is a Regency that has been established, as we first stated. Thus the Spaniards have to choose between a Regency which has, de throned their King, and a Regency which marciw: to restore to him his liberty and his Crown,. between a Royal Administra tion sitting at Madrid, and a Democratic Convention establish. ed at Cadiz between a principle of order and a source of anarchy—no honest man will find any difficulty In making his election.

Yesterday, after four o'clock in the afternoon, M.

Michelot, actually in prison, a decree of the Minister of the Interior, finally sup pressing the Journal which be publishes. In the absence of M. Michelot, the Commissary of Police gave his notice to those Gentlemen employed on the Journal who had not yet quitted the office of the ,Mirror. These men of letter* have thought they ought not to make any resistance, and the Jour nal has not appeared to-day. It is said they have taken all legal measures against the act which strips them df a pro perty that they have established with so much trouble and expence. [From the Constitutionnel.l CAlll.nutrE,.lu NE 2U.—People had too soon presumed that the kind of political interdict expressed by the three Powers of the Holy Alliance against the King of Wurtemberg would be servilely imitated by the powers of an inferior order. The Cabinet of Bavaria has behaved in a manner snore worthy of itself.—The Bavarian Minister to the Court of Stutgard, who had obtained leave of absence to spend the season at the baths of Baden, has just received orders from his Court to repair im mediately to his post; doubtless not to give reason to credit re ports humiliating to the independence of the Bavarian Govern ment. This step may, perhaps, be regarded an indirect dia.: approval, by Bavaria, of tire measures taken by three Powers' against itrurtemberg. Rosin, jUN E I.—The Very Rev. Dr. Ryan, senior of the Catholic Clergy of Cashel, lately left this city ; lie carries the Pallium, or Apostolical Letters, for the Very Rev. Dr. Laffitn, who is just promoted to the Archiepiscopal See of Cashel. Dr. Latlim had been recommended to his Holiness by the suffrages of the Clergy of the vacant diocese, which calls to mind the usages of the primitive church. The virtues and the character of this Prelate, WWI have acquired him the most honourable recomniersdation :eat the favour of his Holiness, insure to his diocese a paternal Government, inaccessible to all influence or intervention contrary to the rights and invariable principles of the Catholic Religion. PORTUGAL. LISBON, JuNE 5. • His Majesty has to.day made his entry into this capital, amidst the most ardent demonstrations of public joy. Tr Drum on account of this happy event was performed in the church of St. Dominick, by his Majesty's orders, who went there accom•. partied - by the intent Don Miguel, and their Royal Highnesses the Princesses, amidst repeated acclamations. His arrival was announced by a salute from the castle and from the men of war in the harbour, which displayed their colours. This august and religious ceremony was attended by the principal civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities, as well as by a great number of public functionaries and citizens of all classes. After divine service his Majesty returned to his palace of Bemposta by the streets Ourives do Ouro, Rocio, &c., with loud acclamations from the populace, who took the horses from his Majesty's car riage anti drew it to the palace. The troops which had been placed since nine in the morning in the Rocio and the adjacent streets, with Don Miguel at their head, accompanied his Majesty both going and returning ; after which they went to their respective quarters, uttering repeated acclamations. The greatest tranquillity was preserved during the day in every part of the city : in the evening there was a general :Ru mination ; and thus ended the day, on which we flatter our selves with seeing the peace and concord which have constantly existed consolidated, on which all good Portuguese must sin cerely congratulate themselves. JUNE 8. •A Supplement to the Gazette of Lisbon of the 7th contains a decree signed by his Majesty, and dated Villa franca, the 2d of June, revoking the decree of the 4th of December, 11322, against the Queen (which his Majesty says he was compelled to sign, with great sorrow), and reinstating her Majesty in all her civil and political right* as a Portuguese citizen, and in her royal dignity. ills Majesty, almost inime!liately on his arrival at Villa Franca, wrote to the Queen to acquaint her with what lied pas sed, and expressing his desire to see her restored to her family, declaring that the distance and his fatigue alone hindered him front visiting her Majesty immediately. After the above-mentioned decree was passed, the Infant Don Miguel was sent by his father to present this important docu nthnt to her Majesty, on which she resolved to return to Queluz, but as her Majesty could not remain there till today, and would have to return to Ramalhao, because the necessary preparations for her reception could not be made, the King went to Itansalhao to visit her Majesty, and congratulate her on the happy events which restored her to her family. We learn that - his Majesty has just issued a decree, ordering all the property and regalia to be restored to his august Consort, which she enjoyed as Queen. FROM OPORTO. " Senhor—With the most .profound respect we place in your Majesty's royal hand, a copy of the act which was drawn up on this memorable day, and applauded with public demon strations of true patriotism by the' loyal inhabitants of this city. - If your Majesty will do us the honour to read this act, you will see that all -true Portuguese being sensibly affected by the grief which overwhelmed your Majesty's royal heart, at the unhappy situation in winch the nation was placed, they took the glorious resolution to recognize the happy government of your Majesty . reitoring your Royal person, and that of your august and vtrtuous Consort, to the legitiMate rights of which you have hem perfidiously despoiled. " Called in consequence to exercise provisionally the func tions specified in the certificate which we likewise lay before your Majesty, we are going immediately to enter on the exer cise of them, with the firm hope of meriting the approbation of ' your Majesty, and of justifying the confidence placed in us.

[ Here follow the proceedings at length both at Oporto and Coimbra, and the names of the persons present.] These documents destroy all the false reports which the ene mies of order and of the happiness of the nation have taken pleasure in circulating relative to the public spirit of the inha bitants of Oporto and Coimbra. They serve, on the contrary, to prove indisputably, the general and unanimous disposition of all minds against the system which governed us, and in favour of that which, happily for the Portuguese, is just established, and the consolidation of which is guaranteed both by the gene ral adherence attire people and the beneficent intentions of the Sovereign. It is not only from Oporto or Coimbra that such documents have been received, but' from Campomaior, Evora, Aveiro, Castello-Branco, Laniego, Elves, and, in short, from every place that letters could bereceived to.day, the Government have similar or authentic testimonies of the enthusiasm wuh which the people have every where declared in favour of a Govern ment which is to restore to the Monarch all the dignity which is his due, as well as all the respect, power, and prerogatives, inherent in royalty and sovereignty. Ina subsequent number we shall offer to our readers the whole of the documents that we have spoken of. Mean time, desiring clearly to shew the purity of his Majesty's,intentions , we add, that though many of these documents speak of absolute power, yet our august Menarch, firmly persisting in the elevated pruiciples which he at various times announced, constantly refuses such a system, and abides by the sentiments expressed both in the two pro clamations of his Majesty ,' and in that of the Infant Don :11i Duel. An important circumstance, which ought to be published as soon as possible, and which proves that the recent change in our political system is a consequence of the general will of the nation, and not of a part of it, or of a fact ion, and which chews the unanimity - of sentiments in this respect is, that the places in which . there was no military garrison are urse which 'have most spontaneously and decadely declared against a system which promised so - many blessings, anti caused so' many evils, in favour of one which avoided so many evils and procured us so niany blessings LISBON, JIMR 9.

BA YONNE PAPERS. PAvoNwE, JUNE 21.—We are in great want of mails from Madrid and Sarragossa to guide us in the labyrinth of contra dictory accounts which ' have been in circulation. We, how ever know that the reports of an insurrection at Seville, to prevent the departure of the King, were totally false. We also know that he arrived safest Catlin, where he was received with general acclamations, and transports of joy, at his pre sence. Every preparation for a long. resistance, both of the city and environs, has been making for a considerable time past, and they will be completed, on the most extensive scale, during the time that may elapse before the attack can begin, it' the French should attempt it. Yesterday, people talked of an English Courier from Cadiz, who has been stopped, it is said, by order of General Bourdesoulle, who desired to examine the dispatches of which he was the bearer. The Courier, it is stated, boldly replied, that if a single seal were broken, he would inform his Government. The General was obliged to communicate the affair to the Prince, from whom he received a reproot', and an order to give the Courier an escort that he might travel in safety. We have papers and letters from Ma drid to the 17th, which contain very little that is interesting. The Regency has published several decrees. It is stated, among other things, that Admiral Hamelin has taken a vessel from Corunna, which was to transport some persons to the H avannah. As we might have had this news by a nearer chan nel than through Madrid, it seems to want confirmation.— Quesada and Bessieres together form about 6,000 men, ill paid and ill fed, who consequently complain greatly. Bes sieres has issued a kind of Proclamation, in which he endea vours to justifyohis conduct, from the time lie took the Corn- mani, up to the events of the 20th of May last. In one of the last Sittings of the Cortes at Seville, the copy of a Resolution was read, said to have been agreed to at Verona by the Holy Alliance, which declares that the Duke of A ngoulenie shall be Regent of the kingdom, King Ferdinand being judged incapable to reign, and that the French troops shall have military occupation of Cata lonia, Arragon, Navarre, and the three Provinces (of Biscay).— We learn thatltallesteros, finding it impossible to defend N'a lencia, and in pcirsuance of the general plan, not to defend any place which is not able to make, a long resistance, has retired with his army of 20,000 men, so that Molitor took possession on the 13th. FOR THE SUN. OBSERVATIONS on the intended RECIPROCITY. DU TI ES on the 511 P PING of ALL NATIONS, and on the EFFECTS which it will produce on BRITISH SHIPPING. The importance of this subject imperiously demands our most serious attention ; for, in whatever way we view the Protective System--whether M ancient or modern times, we see the excellent effects that have resulted from it; and it has now become so interwoven with' National benefits and' National interests; that to allow a breach to be made will lead to inevitable ruin. One argument used for abandoning so wise a system is, that Foreign Powers are resolved either to compel us to adopt their propoaals, or they will lay on such countervailing duties will exclude our Shipping lay their Ports.—This threat of exclusion of our Trude by compulsion should make us pause ere we make a false step which it may not be so easy to recover,--e step derogatory to the character of Great Britain. Another argument is, that it is necessary to assist our Manufacturers: but,, with what propriety do they claim to have the restrictions on Foreign Shippmg removed ? on a speculative chance of serving their interests; the result of which will be to ruin the British Nevigation,—a much older interest, and more essential to the State than theirs; and this, too,' while they themselves claim a protection, and are protected by restrictive laws and duties. Indeed There is nothing in this pretended Reciprocity but the name; the advantage of trading to a profit is now actually on the side of the Foreigner, who is yet claiming another boon that will give hint a still more deckled advantage: The value, sail. ing expences, and taxation, on a British Ship, are considerably more than double that of the Foreigner.* When, if this is the fact, how will the bestowing on him another boon make a reci. procity ? It may be a reciprocity so far as the National duties are concerned, but not as rega r ds a competition in the expence of Navigating ; for, were all the duties removed which bear on the equipment of British Shipping, they then would not be on a reciprocity with Foreigners.—ln short, nothing can give them a reciprocity but that which n o m a n who has a National feeling would Countenance, viz. allowing the Ship-Owners to purchase, build, repair, store, and man their Ships wherever they can procure them at the cheapest rate. There is one thing most essential for our consideration in forming Our judgment on this question, which is, Whether the Shipping and Seamen have or have not as strong . a claim, to Nations protection as the Agricultural, Manufacturing, or any Other Interest : The Ship-Owners have embarked their capitals under the laws,—they are made to build, repair, and store in Britain, and employ native Seamen, and to rear apprentices. The Seamen thus formed are a distinct body . of men from any other in the State, as their services are required not as volun teers, but by compulsion, —they are taken on board the Na tional Ships of War to serve the State, whenever their services are thought necessary, either for defence or offensive measures. In this service they become subject to martial law, and their wages are email compared with the earnings of the other classes of the community. They are sent to all parts of the Globe to fight the battles of the Country ;---how they have performed this Service the history of the Country, if not its gratitude, will be a lasting memorial. Th e ir performances seem to have made more impression on all ot h er co untries than on that which their valottr served ;•for l Astrange as hinny appear, Britain is actually giving more encouragement to Foreigners than to her native Seamen. If these arc facts—and we challenge a refutation of them—it is then surely time that the British Lion were roused from his slumber, when wo are told-that Foreign Powers are forcing on us Commercial regulations to suit their own purposes, wllich will deprive our Seamen of a large proportion of their present employment, Agricultural, and lead to t h e a nnihilation of it. Pl:he Naviffatio and :Manufacturing Interests are the three great leading i n t e rests in the State, and the inte rest of each are blended with the other; but a sudden transi tion front war to on which the inimulacturing econom i sts im mediately were loud in their complaints, and type ra e political economists declared th at naviga tion cm peace naturally.staggered the whole, crimped our operations and sales. In war they are pro tected by navigati on , f or w i t h out t h e seamen keep the sea open to transmit their goods, the manufacturers would nearly stan d still. The old Statesmen of this country, up to the first Earl of LivEneeme, in balancing the scale of interests always gave a protection to navigation as a sure means of securing the best object of the State. The Statesmen of this new era may be sa. enticing navigation to the intrigues of Foreign Powers, and on a speculative chance of benefiting the Manufacturers. It may safely be said, and that without vanity, that the sea men have a !higher e---claim to protection than any other interest in the State, their services and deeds fully entitle them to it; and if they are sacrificed to either the specu lations of Manufacturers or Foreign illerchants—the visionary schemes of Political Economists.—or to Foreign Powers_ it will be an act of the blackest ingratitude to that hardy and brave race of men, and I an act of the most pusillanimous degradation that this great country ever submitted to.

She said, that in a moment of anger she had. uttered - falsehoods of several ladies, and that the slanders having reached their ears, they determined to punish her with a white sheet and bare feet, or some other terrible infliction, if she did not forthwith con tradict every word of what she uttered to their prejudice, and produce a written evidence of her submission and contrition. She therefore thought the best and most effectual way of satisfying those she had calumniated, was by taking her oath before the Lord Mayor of London that all she had said was a lie ! !—The Lord Mayor reprobated the mischievous tongue of the applicant, and assured her that it was quite unnecessary for her to take an oath upon the subject, as those who knew her would doubtless bite her word on that question, although they might not believe her on any ottier. The girl departed, greatly dissatisffed with his Lordship s refusal. PARLIAMENTARY PROCEEDINGS. HOUSE OF COMMONS.

THE SUN. SOLEM QUIS DICERE F.ILSUM AUDEAT LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 30, 1823. The arrival of the Lisbon Mails at length en ables us to lay before our Readers details to the 10th instant, of the progress of the counter-revo lution in. Portugal, or rather of the consummation of that important event, as far as respects the complete subversion of the Constitution of 18". What will be the system of Government which is to be founded on its ruins is still matter of conjecture. The general opinion seems to be, that the KING will continue to reject absolute power, and that he will give the Nation a Charter or Constitution on the basis of a limited Monarchy with the Legislative Chambers. But the Portu guese appear to be so eager to`place the yoke of despotism on their own necks, that for our part we think the KING will be rendered absolute in spite of his own wishes (if his professions of mo deration be really sincere,) or at any rate that Abe Constitution which may emanate from him and his present Councillors will give to the nation nothing more than the semblance of freedom. In a short time this interesting problem must be solved. We shall see whether the new Por tuguese code will permit the liberty of the press, —in what manner and by whom it will direct the Representative branch of the Legislature to be elected,—and what functions it will assign to that body. These will form the tests by which alone it can be determined whether the Portu guese and world, b cause hav eh o e f e r i a l t i p o r n e a j f reedom (ic e d er g throughout n by the sudden but not unexpected change which has been effected by the trea cherous revolt of a corrupt soldiery, and the base acquiescence of an ignorant people. Letters were received yesterday from Oporto, dated the sth instant, from which it appears that intelligence having arrived there of the recent proceedings in Lisbon,a similar scene took place in Oporto, under the auspices of the armed force, and the Constitutional Authoritie's were removed. The following Act was then promul gated by the Council of the city of Oporto, de siring that a public thanksgiving and illumina tion should take place in consequence -i d" the Counter-Revolution :--- " The Judges and Members of the Council of the Most flue trios Municipality of the City of Oporto, on the part of his Sovereign Majesty, whom God protect, Bz.e. &c. " We make known to all the respected inhabitants of this city, that in consequence of the happy (and by them anxiously desired) event of the re-establishment of the happy Government of our Lord the King, and the restoration_pf his sovereign authority, and of those legitimate rights of which he and iiis august and virtuous consort had been perfidiously despoiled, we have determined to render the Almighty those thanks which are due to him for this incomparable blessing, on the evening of Sunday the Bth of the present month, in the Holy Cathedral of this city. " And this Illustrious Municipality, desiring at the same time that this Act should be solemni zed,with all possible pomp, and with every demonstration of public rejoicing, requests that the inhabitants of the city will assist at the solemnity, and that on the nights of the sth , _ Gth, ith, and ;WI, they will cause their houses to be illuminated. " This Illustrious Municipality, greatly delighted at this occasion of addressing the loyal inhabitants of the heroic city of Oporto, offers them its most cordial congratulations on the present happy event.

The annexed oath was afterwards administered to those who attended the assembly at which this resolution passed : " I swesr to defend, and cause to be defended, the rights of our Absolute King, those of our Lady the Queen, and the whole dynasty of the Royal !louse of Braganza. ' We have inserted, under the usual head, 6X... tracts from the Paris Papers of Friday, and some further articles from those of Thursday. The accounts which they contain from Spain, state tint the deposed King slept on the 12th (the first night of his journey), at Utreva,—on the 13th at Xeres,—and that he arrived early on the 14th ►t Cadiz, which is said to contain a garrison of fif teen thousand men. General BOURDESOULT, Wit/ was on his march for Seville, changed his rouie immediately on learning the forcible removal of the King, and directing his march upon Cadiz, and arrived at Port St. Marys, within two leagues of that city, on the 21st. The following account of a demonstration made by the garrison of St. Sebastian, is ex trated from the Quotidienne PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE. " Camp before St. Sebastian, June 10. " At last the garrison of St. Sebastian appears tired of its in action, and of our constant perseverance. " Yesterday, at four o'clock, A.M. and during a heavy firing, every thing gave reason to believe that our troops might at length perceive it otherwise than behind its ramparts, and pro tected by powerful batteries. Its covered ways were MU of men and deep columns, and left no doubt of its intention to at tempt a sally. rhe reserve immediately were under arms. Our brave General, Baron Schoeffer, went himself to the advanced posts
