(From the ConsfitutionneL . _ PARIS, JUNE 21.—Tho Itioniteur states, that the (tarps of our army which is marching towards Andalusia, - will reach Seville the 21st or 22d inst., and that it will immediately march for Cadiz. The corps d'annee is the one of which the com mand has been confided to General Bourdosoult ; and, admit ting that the division commanded by General Bourmont is united to it, both together will not amount to more than 12,000 men; from quitting Madrid, the two corps 'together did not exceed 15,000, and it is certainly not an exaggerated calcula- tion to estimate at 3,000 the number of - troops which remain behind, either on account of sickness, or especially to preserve the route, and maintain the communications in a double line of operations of about 100 leagues. It is difficult to conceive that with 12,000 men any attack can be made ou a city like Cadiz, which is in a situation that may be almost said to be out of the reach of attack, and which is besides surrounded by fortresses and the sea. On the land side, to effect even the blockade of Cadiz, an army of 100,000 men would scarcely be sufficient; and seaward the blockade presents still greater difficulties on account of the winds and currents, which rarely permit vessels to be stationed sufficiently nerdto the harbour to close the entrance. [EXTRACT Or A PRIVATE LETTER.I " VIENNA, JUNE 9.—lt is certain that _M. de Lebzeltern' .our Ambassador at' Petersburgh, has transmitted dispatches' from which it appears tint', notwithstanding, the changes which have been effected amongst several great functionaries, there will be no change in the relations between Russia and Austria, and the connections which subsist between the two Courts will continue on the same footing: It is certain also that the Count de Nesselrode is still in office, anti so long as he continues at the head of the Department for Foreign Affairs in Russia, we may be convinced that the system of the Prince de Metternich will prevail at the Court of St.' Petersburgh. But notwithstanding all these facts, which are indisputable, per sons who arc in theivay of knowing what is passing, are con vinced that, within a very short period, there will be other Ministerial changes in Russia, and that men who for some time :have had no influence, will be placed at the head of affairs. ` Other accounts which we have received from Russia.attract public attention. • The Russian army of Caucasus; 'under tho orders of General Yermoloft, has lately received further rein forcements;and is still to have additional troops. This augmen tation of troops on 'die confines of Asia must have some object; ft' is not against Persia that these forces will be tuarebed, .it being understood that a perfect understanding and intimate connection subsistbetwcen Russia and Persia. The assembling of a strong army on the frontiers of Persia is, 'therefore, con sidered as a measure of .precaution, in order to have the, troops disposable in case of an event for sometime anticipated—that is to any, in case of a rupture between Ruisia and a great Maritime Power, whose vast possessions in Asia are not suffi ciently guarded against an invasion, if war should break out between these two Powers. " lire expect here, with much, impatienCe, intelligence re specting the manner of , the reception of the Russian Note sent by our Court to Constantinople, in answer to the letter of the Reis-Effendi to the Count de Nesseliode. This Note will de cide the nature of the future relit:ions between Russia and the Porte, and every thing will depend upon the determination now adopted by the Divan, after being informed of - the de inandS of Russia. Every ulterior meamAre respecting the RUti. shut army of the soutli is postponed until this determination of the Porte is known. The reduction even of the army of the South, ordered by the Ukase. respecting the diminution of the Russian troops on active service, is provisionally suspended. "It appears, according to the last accounts from Turkey, hat the Porte still distrusts the intentions of Russia, anti that from this motive, it dares • not remove the troops from the right bank of the Danube, so that the reinibreements to be drawn from hence by • the Ottoman army in .

The Dedi cation is also peculiar, and is simply as fol lows : To Lady Bvnos . , The folhAving pages are dedicated By The Tragedy is written in the same style that characterizes the other dramatic works of the Noble Author. The fable is not without inte rest, and the characters are properly distinguish ed, but the work altogether is better suited to the closet than the stage. The plot is soon de veloped. The Duke of Mantua is happily mar ried, but liermione, a lively young lady, visits the palace, and unconsciously excites his affec tion. Ilei-1111one is followed by her lover Carlos, who serenades the lady, and excites the anger of the Duke. A challenge ensues ;he acts merely on the defensive,and disarms Carlos. The . tatter vows revenge,and,r%ith the assistance of his friend Bertrand, resolves to kill the Duke, and carry off Ilermione,to be degraded into his mistress. The Duke is cautioned to check his love for Hermione, but in mystic terms, by Zorayda, a Gypsey, who tells him he will ptherwise fall a victim to his fatal passion. The Duke disregards her monition, and at length he and Herntione, both innocent of all licentious feelings, ai•e sur- prised by four assassins hired by Carlos. In the struggle one of the assassins. is killed. Heraiione is held by Carlos, but , gets free, and stabs hini with the sword of the dying assassin : Bertrand; makes a desperate, lunge at the Duke, who falls; and he then kills Hermionc. Bertrand is seized, and is reserved for punishment. The Duke would have forgiven him, but the Laws of Mantua. must be obeyed, and the Duke solicits ,the pardon of Heaven for his errors, and the tragedy con cludes with his removal to take a dying leave of his wife.—There is a kind of under-plot, in whiCh Laura, a Lady of the Court, is made to suppose that Carlos is not the lover of liermione,•but of - herself.—This Tragedy, as we have hefore.sai4 strongly resembles the former Dramas of Lord Ilynox. There are many striking passages, marked by poetical beauty, a strong imagination, and a philosophic spirit, and they will be read with pleasure.

LONDON BRIDGE.- JONES, the Chaftnina of the Bridge House Committee, brought up their Report: There-were the drafts of three peti tions attached to the Report which were recommended to be adopted by the Court, and to be presented to the House of Lords. They objected to the principy of the Bill, and prayed to be heard by Counsel against particular clauses which were deem 2d to be injurious to the City of London. M. Alderman WOOD said the obnoxious clause, which en acted that no Engineer, Architect, or Contractor, should be ap pointed to build the Bridge, had been introduced in the Bill by .Mr. Ilolme Sumner in his (Alderman Wood's) absence. The worthy Alderman joined in deprecatind the clause, which he said had been introduced in an unfair manner; but he was convinced it would not have been carried, had it not been far a strong feeling being excited against the Corporation by the re sistance which this Court had given to the measures in Parlia ment. The LORD MAT on stated the. course which he had adopted in the House with respect to the Mr. FAv EL L recommended the Court not to petition against the-nei bridge, as it was impossible to get rid of it. Mr. II un °mut thought the Court were bound upon prin ciple; in, honour and consistency,' to oppose in the House of Lords, not only, the obnoxious clause introduced in the Bill by Mr. H. Sumner, but the - other objectionable clauses. If this opposition did not succeed, let the Court throw up the Bridge house funds altogether, and have nothing whatever to do with the project.: They 'had held those funds only as hontst trus tees, mid let them be given up when they could not be held witfiout involving the Corporation. Mre e leauEs thought there were still just grounds for hope in the opposition to the BM. The want of respect entertained in the House of,Cottnnons for the Corporation arose from theie vacillating conduct. lie hoped the Court would repair it by a steady opposition to the Bill in the remaining stages. The ex pence of the opposition he regarded AS quite unimportant. It was evident that the Meinber for Surrey was labouring to take the fan& of the city out of the controul of their Magistrates. Mr. Rous considered it a great omission in the petition that it did not state. that the Corporation had been driven to this opposition by the conduct of the Committee of • the house of Commons. Mr. OALLoway was of opinion that the House of Lords would reject all. the jockeyship which had . been resorted to in the Coininittee of the Hotise of Opinions. He contended that the object of the supporters of the Bill was to break down the funds of the City. , Mr. Alderman Worm promised his exertions to get rid of tite obnoxious clause-in the Bill, which gave the Lords of the Treasury the right to appoint the architect, engineer, &c. Mr. Alderman Wmerueteel lamented that the measures of the Coepomtion were not properly supported by their Repre sentatives in Parliament: . . • After some further observations, the Petition to the House of - Lords to be heard. by Counsel against - the OH in its ereeent forma was agreed to. • • SPANISH SUBSCRIPTION. The Lome Alnic'on stated, that he had received a letter from Mr. Bowring, the Assistant Secretary to the Spanish Committee, ; acknowledging the .receipt of the sum of money voted in aid.of the Spenish cause. The letter was ordered to be inserted in the Journals of the Court. The LORD .MAYOR - stated, that he had received a docu ment of. a very different description, which he felt it his duty to lay before the Court. • It. purported to be a Protest against the votes of sums of money in aid of the Spaniards, and was signed by ten Aldermen end sixteen Commoners. His Lord ' ship • did, not really know the course that ought to be taken with respect to it, tuna having laid it before the Court, - it was ' for them to dispose of it. Were.it not for the vile.mierepre sentation which-he had been subjected to elsewhere for the course he had taken with respect to the Spanish Petition, he need scarcely- say, that the preeent Protest did not originate with him. At the same time he must add, respecting the part he took with regard to the subscription, that he woUld adopt the same line of conduct should such a grant be proposed again. Mr..F.itvELL said, the proceeding was of a Very extraordi nary nat ure , a nd it w o u ld for a most dangerous precedent if the proe ve di ngso f t h e . c o uet were to be _interrupted by such protests. Mr. Jur' , said, he shOUld object against the protest being read, as'it was one which 'ought not.to be received. 'Mr. Alderman ` I T w Al N in strong. terms, reprobated the proceeding as a gross attempt to throw discredit on the Court. no Court ought to be particularly cautious before they re ceived such a docament, and, in his opinion, they ought nut to entertain it for a.motnent. If such protests were admitted, it would he a means of getting inserted on the Journals matter of a very offen s i ve nature. There was no precedent for such a proceeding—such a thing was never heard of in that Court, and on this ground he would object against the reception of the do cument. Mr. GAL tow At- considered the tendency of the instrument to be highly: mischievous, and he did not, think that suc.hmeans should be given to- a party of reiterating their Opinions. The Court' were, doubtless, obliged to his Lordship for the fair man ner in which he had introduced the protest, but unless the grounds on which it ought to be received were clearly eStablish cd,:he would propose that it shoUld be rejected. '!'he-LORD- MAYOR said, he- had thought it necessary to mention the nature of the document before it was read, lzst it should be said that he had taken the,Court unfairly. He con sidered it necessary to state, that it was not addressed to the COtirt, • but addressed, to him, with a request that it should be presented to the Court.

The Court had no business to inquire into the subject matter of the protest; and be contended that it would be derogatory to them to allow it to be read.
