Bessieros, who has acted so many parts, had joined the Consti tutional party. [From the Journal des Der6ats.l NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN SPAIN. PARIS, MAY 15.—We said in our number of the day be• fore yesterday, that Mina had but three ways to choose; to tight, to surrender, or to disperse his troops. He has chosen the last. Pressed between our frontiers, General Curial and Baron d'Eroles, he has fled by his left across the mountains, to endeavour to reach Berga. General Curial anti Baron d'Eroles continue this kind of chase, in which our troops have not yet been able to fire a shot. If Mina is so fortunate as to reach Berga, and if he chooses to descend the Lobrega to take refuge in Barcelona, he may be cut off by General Donnadieu or Manressa ; if he takes the road to Solsona and Balaguer , he will meet the corps detached from the division of' General Molitor. Mina marches without materiel, without cavalry, and seems to have but little ammu nition, and still less provisions.. Marshal Moncey was preparing to occupy Palamos, whicl will give us an important post for supplying our army in Cata lonia. The last news from Burgos confirm what we have said al ready, of the Portuguese Generals Rego and Amarante ; both must now have returned to Portugal. The 'Marquess of Matta-Florida, and the Archbishop , of Tarragona are arrived at Paris, and had a n au di ence yesterotty with the President of the Council of Ministers. 11 , ronz the Constitutionnel,l PERPIGNAN, MAY B.—(E.arart from oar private Corre rpondenee.)—The enemy, on their departure from Olot, carried off all the provisions; we have found neither corn, bread, cattle, nor wme. AlI the rich merchants in the City have followed the army of Mina, and a number of young men have left Vich to join him. We are assured that Mina advanced to Olot and occupied Bezalu, Fortelle, and Bagnoles, fur the sole purpose of giving the French army an oppor tunity of attacking him. But having consumed all the provisions with which the country was capable of furnishing him ; lie decided on the 2d on making his retrogade movement, which he effected without any opposition on our part. Milans eft Besalu at seven in the morning, and General Curial did nit enter it until three in the afternoon, although the two places were only one league and a half apart. The following is a numerical statement of the troops which Mina had in his different position when at Olot At Tortella a battalion of Bebastro, amounting to 700 men : atßesalu, Milans, with 3,0(10 men ; at Bagnoles 2,000 ; at Olot a battalion of Barcelona, 700 men ; the regiment of Co. runna, 2,000; a battalion of Tarragona, 700 ; volunteers of Arragon 2,000; do. of Sarragos, 1100; a battalion of the Ca. naries, 000 ; do. of Merola, 800 ; do. of Iberia, 800; do. of Africa, 800. BAYONNE PAPERS. BAYONNE, MAY 10.—The Bulletins from the Army are so short that they afford little information respecting the opera. tions of our Army in Spain, and hence various reports are cir. ciliated of circumstances concerning which nothing official is - published. Thus, for instance, we are told of a sortie said to have been made by the Constitutional troops from Santander, who attacked, in the mountains which separate that province from that of Burgos, a strong body of the first corps, which was forced to retrograde precipitately towards Burgos. Unfor tunately we have no details whatever of this aff a i r w hi c h might enable us to judge of the accuracy of this statement. We have seen the Proclamation of Count Abisbal to his soldiers. fie says, that the further the French penetrate into Spain, the more certain will be their destruction. Ile concludes with a prediction, which it is hoped peace will falsify, that not one of them will escape. From the Army of Mina we have no accounts, except that he was always ready to receive an attack, and that only slight skirmishes had taken place. Ballasteros evidently appears to act upon the plan of cutting the corps of General Molitor into two parts, and it must be owned that his corps is spread out over a considerable extent of country; so that it is likely we shall soon hear something important from that quarter. We have nothing new from Pampeluna or St. Sebastian. There seems to be a serious intention of dividing the troops of the Faith into companies, and incorporating them separately into the French Re g im en t s . Th e p r i vates an d t h e subaltern officers might perhaps be brought to accomrpe date themselves to this new o r d er o f t hi ngs ; but it seems diffi cult to determine how to dispose of the superior Officers and Generals. A communication has been made this morning by the Town Major as official ;-that the head-quarters of the Prince are advancing near to Madrid; and we learn from the same source that General Molitor has already reached Teruel ; there are persons however who doubt the accuracy of this state ment, and think that it can hardly be possible. A telegraph . has been fixed on the Marine Arsenal. 'rule greatest activity is employed in carrying the works of the bridge of Yrun, all the timber for which is sent from this city nearly ready to be put in its place. The Mail from Madrid has arrived ; it brings us absolutely nothing new. NV T-:MONDAY. —HoIiday al India and Sout Lt the Bank, Exchequer, Ease th Sea Houses. PRICE OF IRISH Bank Stock ' , 384 Gov.

THE SUN. 1101. EN QUIS F.ALSUM .1UDE.471? LONDON, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1823. We regret that we are still unable to gratify the anxiety of the Public for accurate intelligence from Catalonia. There have been no arrivals from' Paris since our last, but we have gleaned some further extracts from the Papers of Thurs day and Friday (received by our Express on Saturday), which, however, do not throw any additional light on the situation of the different armies.--On Saturday we expressed a wish' to be informed of the exact position and employ. ment of the French and Italian refugees in Spain, of whom nothing has been heard since a few of them were dispersed by the first discharge of cannon on the Bidassoa. On looking over our file, however, we find (see THE SUN of March 22), the following intimation : " The Constitutional troops in Catalonia are advancing towards the French frontier; and the foreign legion, which has been organized at Barcelona, was embarked on the 4thinst. for the same destination." It there fore appears that the greater part of the foreign Auxiliaries are, as we had hoped, with Alma. The French Government are known to feel con siderable disquietude respecting their Army under Marshal MONCEY. We have this morning received by the Flanders Brussels Papers, from which we have sub. joined a few extracts. The Antwerp article con tains an important letter from Lausanne, dated the 4th inst. asserting that Austria and Russia had de mand ed a passage for their troops through Switzer lando demandwhich the Cantons had unanimously refused. The Editor oftheßrussels Paper discredits the statement of his Correspondent, chiefly be cause, in his opinfon, the time has not arrived when it can be necessary for France to require succours from her Allies, and because " all ap pearances indicate that this fatal necessity will not occur !" If by " all appearances," is meant the supposed successful progress of ,the French Armies in Spain, we cannot concur in the opinion of the Brussels Journalist, ihat the French are not likely to require assistance. — On the contrary, every day strengthens the belief that nothing but a peace can save them from eventual discomfiture. We repeat, however, that as yet Government have no information to war rant the belief that the immediate co-operation of the Continental Powers with France is intended. "ANTWERP, MAY 14.--A. person of this city has received lettter from Lausanne, dated May 4, in which there is the following phrase :—" I fear lest I should be obliged to quit the town. The Governments of Austria and Russia have caused an application to be made to the Cantons for the passage of an army through this country. This demand has been unani• mously rejected; but I fear that the neutrality of Switzerland will not be respected, and I shall fly, not to become a Russian or Austrian." "Notwithstanding the authenticity of this letter, we doubt the accuracy of this statement. Though the powers of the north have promised effective succour, happily the time is not arrived when it can be necessary, and all appearances indi cate that this fatal necessity will not occur. The assurances of the French Itlinistry—the attitude of England—the dangers with which Europe would be menaced, in consequence of this intervention, ought to dispel, at least for the present, the fears of so dangerous an extremity. Another circumstance makes us doubt of the accuracy of our correspondent, viz. that, sup posing such a demand to have have been made, it is not at all probable that Switzerland has had the energy to refuse it. For some time past regard for its preservation has induced that country to make concessions which it would not have made be fore the events of the revolution.—( Journal of Antwerp.) FRANKFORT, MAY 10.—Mercantile letters from Trieste , speak of the Greeks having landed in sever a l places Mace donia. BRUSSELS, MAY 13.—A great number of horses, chiefly from the North of Germany, have lately passed through Frankfort going to France. The French contractors pay from 15 to 17 loins d ors a piece for them, according as they are fit for the cavalry or for draught. STOCK•EXCILANGE, HALF.-PAST TIVELVE.—ThiS 15 a holiday.; but Consols have been done at 78 to 79.1.--Spanish Bonds at 364. New York Papers, to the 25th of April, ar, rived this morning, but contain nothing of l►n. portance. We can now add to the assurances which we have formerly given on this subject, the fact that there is a positive determination, on the part of the leading Spaniards, to change the Constitution, and that several eminent characters have actually been summoned to Seville, to concert the neces sary . measures for the execution of that intention. But the Courier, that would-be official Organ of all, the Cabinets of Europe,—has said, with its inflated, bombastic affectation of pseudo-official authority, that the Spanish Cortes are resolved, if any dan ger should appro ac h S ev ill e , to carry ofFthe King to the Canaries ! All that we can say is, that the statement of the Courier is absolutely false, and that we think poor Ferdinand is sufficiently caged at Seville, without converting him into a Canary bird !—( British Monitor of yesterday.) It gives us great pleasure in being able to an nounce that the Physicians found the Kix() so much better on Saturday morning, that they did n ot thi n k i t necessary to issue a Bulletin, n or did they think it requisite yesterday, they are therefore discontinued. Saturday the report was, his .MA JESTY is much better ;" and yesterday it was, " the KING is recovering."—( Court Circular.) His MAJESTY received visits from the Duke of YORK on Saturday; and yesterday all the branches oldie Royal Family called or sent to the Palace to make inquiries. Yesterday morning the Duke and Duchess of CLARENCE attended Divine Service at the Royal German Chapel, and heard a Sermon by the Rev. Dr. KueEn. Afterwards the Royal Duke and Duchess visited the Duke and Duchess of Gi,ou- CESTER and the Princess SOPHIA MATILDA. Saturday was the Princess of KENT'S Birth day. Her Royal Highness completed her fourth year. Saturday night Mr. FISHER, the King's Mes senger, left town with dispatches for Vienna. A late letter from the capital of Prussia says, that the Supplement to one of the last numbers of the Konigs berg Gazette contains, on the part of one great commission. house, a notification for sale of upwards of 100 dwelling-houses, exclusive of nearly 60 estates, the property of Noblemen,— " Thus it is"—adds the letter alluded to—" every ons is anxious to sell ; few, however, are disposed to buy, and those who are inclined will give only very low prices. God mend the times !" A letter, dated Marseilles, the 6th inst., says, according to accounts recently received from Tunis the Hey had given orders for two Ambassadors to embark immediately— the one for London, and the other for Copenhagen. The King of the NETHERLANDS has approved of a new Canal to be cut between Bergen, in Hennigan, and the Szlieldt. Bread with the French Army in Spain costs as much as 12 sous (sixpence) per pound. This extravagant price is mainly to be ascribed to the enormous cost of transport. SLAVE TRADE.—On the 14th instant a meet ing was held in the Committee-room of the Literary , and Phi. losophical Society, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, of some of the lead ing friends to the Abolition of Slavery, when a Society was formed, under the d es i gnat i on o f " Th e N ewcastl e - upon- Tyne Society . for the gradual Abolition of Slavery in th e B r i tis h Dom n tons." Duni. tat, MAY 13.—The funeral of Dr. Troy commenced passing our office at a few minutes before two, and continued for about an hour. Several thousand mourners, with scarfs and bands, passed on f oot , an d i n t h e rear of the procession there were 120 carriages. The crowd accompanying the pro. cession was immense.—( Dublin. Journal.) SPANISH HEROINES.—A German Paper states, that a highly interesting picture has been published, repre senting in a very correct manner the Spanish women, who have formed themselves into a reg i ment at Barcelona. Their cos tume is every way suitable, and they are armed with a light lance.—Alarshal tit. Cra, in his work on Catalonia, praises the courage of a similarly organized battalion at Gerona in the last Spanish war. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. •-I ' f.t.'' „ •,. t. , : I S4A -, • ..

The prisoner, for some time subsequent to the trial, evinced the most daring hardihood, but at length, by the attention and exertions of Dr. COTTON and the Rev. Mr. BAKER, he was brought to a sense of his awful situation. He slept well on Sunday night, and at three o'clock this morning, when he joined fervently in prayer, and again slept until six o'clock. At a quarter to eight, the Sheriff (Lucas), arrived, and the unfortunate man was brought into the Press-mom, and disencumbered of his irons. On his hands being tied, he exclaimed with great emo tion, " Oh, Heavenly Father !"—And turning to Mr. BAKER, he expressed great gratitude to him, observing, that but for him he did not know what he should have done. At a few minutes after eight, the unhappy man ascended the scaffold,' SPRING- AND NxaTE.—The grand fight for the Champion.. assisted by two persons, and after havin g join e d in prayer for ship takes place to-morrow, about seventy miles from town on a few minutes, the signal was given, the dr o p ear, and the the Bath road, but the precise spot is not yet known, as the world closed on him for ever. Ile has made a confession, and Magistrates have given notice that they will not permit it to also sent a communication to the prison ers , the purport of take place on the ground originally appointed, which was the which, for certain reasons, was not made known. On his way same on which Neate and Gas fought. Bets five to four in to the scaffold, he shook hands with the different turnkeys, and favour of Spring in town ;—the same odds in favour of Neate at appeared to die without a struggle. Bristol. POEZR Y. VAUXHALL. BY JOHN TAYLOR, PSR. FRAXX HAS MAN, once a brother of the brush, Had talents much distinguish'd in his day; But for his art he hardly car'd a rush, If some odd mi sc hi e f stum bl e d in his way. This Wag was deem'd by all the social tribe, A jovial, easy, care l ess , p l easant fellow, Fond of a frolic, ready at a gibe. And sometimes in his cups a little mellow. There is a famous Place, yclept VAUXHALL, Where Cits, good folks, regale, with merry hearts, And oft to busy Waiters eager bawl, For fresh supplies of Ham, and Beef, and Tarts. There you may see of boxes many a row, For such as like to feast in state designid, With pictures deck'd, that make a goodly spew, Now, in these pictures, IlaYmaN's skill we find. And life': great Moral Painter too we trace, Unrivall'd HooauTir, there his skill display'd, Whose humour, wit, and satire, deck the place, And whose time-honour'd laurels ne'er can fade. There old JACK FALSTAFF, guilty of lie, Attempts his bragging cowa rdice - to screen, The:e, with the sage Magician, NELL we spy, While surly slonsox low'rs with jealous spleen. And there too may remembrance fondly . trace,.... Ah ! sweet reflection to the pensive mind,-- The simple pleasures of a careless race, Ere yet they learn to prey upon their kind The Shuttlecock that like Ambition flies, Driv'n by contending factions to and fro; • The blinded bey who wanders by surmise, True emblem of our darkling state below. And other pastimes of our early days, Recal in v ar i ous scenes life's jocund May, Where e'en th e proud Philosopher might gaze, And envy Ignorance its thoughtless play. Oh ! INFANCY, whate'er thy fortune gay, Whom no sad records of the past annoy, Thy present rapt in frolics of the day, And all thy future but to-morrow's joy. But in a spacious room, Rotunda bight, Where all the crowd. with gaping wonder roam, There HAY MAN'S genius wings its proudest flight, And:British triumphs decorate the dome. Here Asia's tribes submit to English Bands, Whileall the Blacks and IVhiter seem quite alive, And here great Albion's Chief superior stands,_ MEER JAFFIEII, a mere nothing to LORD CLIVE. Here AMHERST too, a iav'rite Son of fame, Shews the true temper of a British breast, Not more awake to Valour's active flame, Than prompt with zeal to succour the distrest. And other martial Heroes too are there; GRANBY, who rears his head in naked grace— A head that could not miss the wither'd hair, Since wreathrof deathless laurels crown the place. There heads of Naval Heroes, wondrous sight, Are floating on the billows, just like fishe s , A host of head s , w i t h powder'd locks bedight, Borne up by Nereids, or on buoyant dishes. And not a face among them sinking dreads, But on they glide together full of glee, Nor need we wonder that they raise their heads, Since Britons find their element at sea. At leng th, to dignify a t ra i n so d ear, An to complete the splendour of the scene A sight that ev'rloyal breast mu s t c h eer , , A PATRIOT MONARCH, and a VIRTUOUS QUEEN, THE SHAMROCK, THE THISTLE, AND ROSE. In tame, as in friendship, may our islanders join, And the Thistle an d R ose with the Shamrock entwine ; For as union gives force, and fo rce g i ves us wea l t h , May our emblems together still flourish in health ! THE THEATRE. DRURY-LANE......This Theatre was opened on Saturday last for a very grand selection of Vocal and Instrumental Music. Thera was a numerous assemblage of the most distinguished Musical Professors, as well as the most eminent Vocal Performers. The whole was a delicious harmo nic treat, and the house was crowded in all parts at a very early hour. A printed apology announced the unavoidable absence of Miss CUDITT, and fir GEORGE SMART,afterwards came forward to state that Miss POYEY was not in attendance,, doubtless, he said, from some un avoidable cause, as she is at all times at tentive to her public duty. Mr. NORTON displayed great talents in a trumpet concerto, BOEHM'S harp, and LINDLEY'S violincello were conspicuous for brilliancy of execution, and the whole received the warmest applause. BRITISH INsTlTuTloN._l'he Amateurs were highly gratified on Saturday with a private view of the Paintings which at present adorn the Gal lery, and which will this day be submitted to the public in general. The North Room is wholly devoted to the works of Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS, and we may, in the words of a neat little pre face to the Catalogue, say, gg we are proud of our countryman ; we rank him among the most eminent Painters which the Art has produced ; we honour his name ; and we hope that others may be led into the same path, and may be excited by his success to similar exertions." Looking over the graphic treasures from the hand of this great Master we must also borrow a few more words from the same brief and elegant Preface, parti cularly as we had the honour of being acqUainted with him, and can attest the truth of all that is said of his personal merits. The world at large must judge of his professional excellence. " Some of us remember the kindness of his heart, and the complacency of his character : these dispositions led him, in the practice of his art, generally to select subjects which belong to the gentler feel ings, and the kindlier affections of our nature but the examples here presented to us fully shew that the most forcibly expression of the strongest passions was not above his reach." The truth of this remark is fully justified by several of the works which the North Room con tains. The other Rooms abound with some of the most distinguished works of-the Italian, Spanish, Dutch, and Flemish, Schools. We wish we had space to dilate on their several merits, but we can only recommend the whole to public attention, as they are calculated to im prove general taste as well as to afford general pleasure. The country is much indebted to his MAJESTY, and the several Noblemen and Gen tlemen who have sent their pictures for this refined banquet of Genius. We have only room to add that the works are arranged with the judgment which has invariably marked similar exhibitions since they have been under the superintendence of Mr. YOUNG.
