A telegraphic dispatch announces, that on the 18th our vanguard carried Logrotro, which was defended by 900 men, and that they took a General, (200 men, a standard,arms and baggage. Marshal Oudinot -is going to Burgos. llis Royal Highness will remain some days at Vittoria. The above dispatch has been communicated to -.the civil authorities by his Excellency the Mini ster of the Interior. [From the Pilate.] • Letters from Iron state, that the officers of regiments now in that town, who are ordered to repair to head-quarters, proceed on their march armed with muskets, as in the last war. The roads begin to be infested with Guerillas, which audaciously make their appearance at a short distance from the army. Orders have been issued by the Duke 'd'An gouleme, that no military person should join the army singly ; convoys will be formed, and escorts will condttet them to their destination. We learn from Perpignan, that movements were expected to be made on the 17th and 18th by our army of the Eastern Pyrenees, for the purpose of penetrating into Catalonia. We are assured that the 43d regiment of the line, forming part of the garrison of Paris, will march to=morrow for the army in Spain, " The Sniff of his Royal Highness the CoMmander-in-Chief have removed from Tolosa for Vittoria, where the headquar ters will be fixed on the .17th. " On the same day the Duke de Reggio will be on the „Ebro with the first corps ; his advanced guard will bear on Pancorvo. " Count Illollitor marches on Navarre with the 2d corps, in order to operate in Arragon. " Prince de ilohenlone, with the division of General Conchy and the Spanish corps under the orders of General d'Espagne, has invested Pampeluna. "The division of Canuel, destined to occupy the province of Guipuscos, is in march to relieve the division of Bourcke, which was left before St. Sebastian. " The latter division having sent two battalions of the 38th and 35th regiments of the line against the port of Gueturia, that place was soon captured, ar►d some men and a piece of cannon taken. The troops who defended it retired into the citadel, and their Commandant shewed at first an intention of holding out there; but blockaded on the sea-side by ships manned by Spa- nigh Royalists, and menaced with a brisk attack from our troops, he surrendered yesterday. • The garrison compoted of 200 picked men, among whom are two Colonels and ten offi. cars, were made prisoners ; and in the fort, which had 'been newly provisioned, there were found five pieces of cannon, and a considerable quantity of ammunition. Lieut.-General Count Bourcke hale transmitted to his Royal Highness the Commander in Chief a most favourable report of the conduct of Lieut.-Col. Aleslin, of the 35th regiment, who directed the expedition, and Who was ably seconded by the Chief of Battalion Morrie, of the 30th. The troops have given new proofs of their ardour on this occasion. " The Spanish Royalist corps, under the orders of General • Quesadn, has entered Bilboa. At every step our troops receive the most flattering reception ; confidence universally prevails ; the most perfect discipline exists in the army; the supplies are abundant ; anti none of the inhabitants have ceased from their customary occupations. " l'he different divisions of the cavalry, which were obliged, by the scantiness of forage, to be left behind at Bayonne, Ole. son, and Pao, are beginning to advance ; they will commence their entry into Spain on the 17th.

The Duke of Angouleme, who left Mondragon this morn, ing at halt-past seven, was welcomed with enthusiasm through. out the whole•road, and complimented as he passed through the villages od his way. The Prince often stopped to inquire into the wants of the soldiers; he is in this manner always kind to those who accompany him. He arrived at Vittoria at half -past two, amidst the warmest demonstrations of joy from the inhabitants, who went out to meet him, and called him their deliverer, and the champion of the holy cause. The windows were crowded with male and female spectators, who waved their handkerchiefs, crying " Live the Bourbons, the Duke of Angoulerne, anti France, the worthy supports of our King." The bells were every-where rung, and fireworks were let oft' in rejoicing for the arrival of the French. Carefully attended in their quarters, abundantly supplied with provisions, our soldiers can scarcely believe thernselves in Spain. it would seem as if we were entering the towns in the south of France. The head-quarters of the first corps, commanded by the Duke of Reggio,' moved this morning from Vittoria for AB arida, where the advanced guard has been for some days, utter having taken several pieces of cannon, which were left spiked et Pancorbo. The course of the Ebro is free ; there has been nu attempt to oppose its passage at the bridge of N irefula, Whoa opened its gates to Zavala some days ago. Burgos has also submitted. _ By accounts received from Pampeluna, we are assured that our troops under the command of the Peince Holtenlobe, the ;'ti corps, and the Spanish divisions commanded by Santos- Ladron and the Count d'Espagne, blockade that town in such a manner as to give reason to expect its speedy surrender. The 2d corps marches by the way of Pampeluna on Tudela. LI rom the PranL.ais.l Pants, A emir. 20.—Since the 18th of this. month,. the cir culation of the Austrian Observer is stopt at the Post-office of _France, and we Are now without tour numbers of that Journal. .-The motives ate completely unknown to us The Che valier de delay, confidential Secretary of Prince Metternich, and Secretary. of every Congress from that of Vienna to that of Verona inclusive, has long had the direction of that sernhoffi cial paper. The Chevalier Pilat, another confidential Secretary of Prince Metternich, is the ostensible Editor. Can these Gen tlemen, who enjoy the confidence of the Prime Minister of Austria, have taken it upon them to insert in their Journal ar ticles offensive to some other Cabinet? We shall know this shortly, in all probability, through the other Journals of Ger many, or later, through those of England, unless the diatribe. Lion of the latter should also be suspended. • s (From the journal de Paris.) PAIIIR, APJUL 21.—A question of great interest, as well political as moral, yesterday came before the Court of Cassa tion. The tribimal of Privas has sentenced the Sieur Clausse to three years' imprisonment and a fine of 1,000 francs, for a :culpable offence against a Member of . the Royal Family—the Duke of Berry. M. Odillon Barrot maintained, that defame tiOn could he punishable only when directed against some living person, and not against a party deceased. The question has .not yet been before the Supreme Court, which has appointed 'Thursday next, when the Advocate-General, de Marciangy, will be heard in support of the sentence of the Court of Privas. PERPIGNAN, APRIL 12.—The Insurgents, who occupied Murviedro, had received an express, announcing that Mina had sent proclamations to Repoli, which were received with the greatest enthusiasm. Mina announces that the French would -be able to enter Catalonia; he therefore exhorts the Cataloniansl to be firm, and assures them that if they remain united they will be victorious. A battalion of the Army of the Faith, who have been new clothed, will set out to-morrow for Certhighe ; it will make part of the brigade of Bolongo ; the other battalions will follow al. most immediately. There is no movement among the French troops, which indi- Wes a speedy entry into Catalonia. FOR THE SUN. BISHOP OF LONDON.--SION COLLEGE. Mr. EDlTOn—r wag highly delighted yesterday at hearing a speech from the v'enerable Bishop of LONDON, et the Anniversaty Meeting of Sion College, where he began with observing he was welcomed as a guest, ,and with returning thanks in the neatest stile for the honour of such hospis s , tality, and the cordial manlier in which his health is always given—the first toast in . that Society. At such a meeting he said it was by no means his intention to enter fully into any serious subject, which might tend to interfere with its conviviality, but he could not refrain from exhorting the very numerous and respectable body of his Clergy assembled on that occasion, upon the general spirit that had arisen in these latter times against the Church in general. In former times the malcontents had reserved their invectives for the State chiefly, and thought by such indirect means to overthrow the Establishment with which it is so closely knit together : but now they seem to bend all their forces against the Establishment di rectly, finding their previous efforts to recoil with disgrace only upon themselves. They hope, through the sides of the Clergy, to stab the Church to the very heart, and, once bringing their character into contempt, contemplate with the most malicious joy the ruin of both the Church and the State together. At such a crisis it might be necessary first to remind them of the danger in which they were, it' they did not exert all their powers, in thejr private and public character, to stem the torrent that would, if not impeded, accomplish by its inundation all the malice of their enemies. lie did not mean by this that they should imitate their spirit,—it was impossible for such persons as those he was addressing,' many of whom he had the honour to know intimately, and most, if not all, in their respective characters, to stoop to the low and cunning artifices with which infide lity and sectarianism are endeavonring to under mine them. The sacred foundation► too lay deep in the soil, and he'trusted would still be preserved by the exertions of 'the Clergy in their proper sphere. They are attacked in all ways, and through the medium of the press, in all its for• midable shapes of newspapers, reviews, &c. di rectly and indirectly, and their characters held up to ridicule in common stories and burlesque caricatures in so grovelling and contemptible a manner, that it is impossible for men who retain a sense of their own dignity to answer them In their own stile.' The best answer the Clergy can give them la by continuing to preach the doctrine and thelife which ever since he came to the diocese has been their general habit ; and if there is one 'thing more than another he would recom : mend to their notice, it is to take especial care as to the . persons whom they may occasionally em ploy to perform their duty for the moment ; never to think, upon any occasion, however urgent, of engaging men whose principles they may question. Here his expressions might be misunderstood—he meant rather to say, whose characters are in ques tion. They were aware there had been a few exceptions to the general rule, and he believed there Was one or two instances of tnen whose fharecters were either loose, or who had even ventured to preach in conventicler, or perhaps even not in orders, and yet were admitted to preach in the pulpits of the established Church. In such a large metropolis as this, there would he no wonder if such variations from the common orders occur ; but he was firmly persuaded, whatever his enemies might say, that there never was a time when the main body of his clergy performed their functions with more zeal and ability than at the present moment. They had been abused for not preaching the gospel, but wherever he had attended, or had heard from others the most authentic reports, he was con vinced that in general the gospel was preached ; some might enlarge more upon doctrinal points, and others upon the moral, but all preached the gospel. All, in short, seemed to perform their duty, not only in the temple, but in their re spective parishes ; particularly in the schools' belonging to each,not only in the common parish schools, but in the central schools of different parishes, which he here enumerated, all of which were most successfully ordered, and all tinder the constant and active superintendence of the Clergy. They, indeed, were frequently almost the only responsible residents in some parts of this great city. The merchant, in the present times, retires into the country, and though he may do much'' good by his pecuniary resources, and sometimes by his hearty zeal in the cause, yet he often leaves the chief burtheo ()I actual administration upon the Rector or the Curate, who are never found wanting in the conscientious and laborious discharge of their most important office. Such was the speech, in part, of this highly esteemed Prelate, which I am sorry to give so imperfectly ; but yet thought it better to give so than not at all, particularly as lie has been very re cently attacked for his failure in eloquence, and even in liberal feeling. I wish that I had com mitted it to paper at the time, for i never was more pleased with the manner aids delivery, and with his sentiments in general, than I was at that 1110. ment ; and all the meeting seemed to entertain but one opinion of respect for a person who never comes among them without the strongest proofs of dignity and condescension happily blended, and without the warmest salutations and heart felt cheers which resounded through their in different passages of his truly benevolent and interesting Address. I make no apology for sending this, imperfect as it is, to your valuable Paper, as I consider it one of the main objects of your publication, to convey the sentiments and to support the real in terests and character of the Church in all their native lustre. a• April 23, 1823. r IN ip LiXlu Lig .1...4 L. - 7k • SOLEM QUIS DICEIII-; F. 41.5 I 1 Ar 4UDEAT LONDON, TIIURSD4I 7 , APRI,L 24, 1823. . Our Readers are awave, that, with the 'excel). tion of the very last act of Ministers in their late negociattons with France, when they gratuitously pledged themselves to the observance of neu trality, unless some new circumstances should arise to justify this Country in entering into the War, we have unhesitatingly borne our humble testimony to the prudence and wisdom of their conduct throughout the Negociations, and that we have even applauded their determination to ob serve a strict Neutrality in the earlier part of the struggle between France and Spain. It is ridiculous to charge Ministers with having com promised the honour of the British Crown, be cause they recommended to Spain, in the shape of friendly and disinterested advice, the adop tion of certain modifications of her Constitu tion, not for the purpose of satisfying France, but for that of affording to the French Go.. vernment a pretext for withdrawing from the threatening attitude which they had as sumed towards the Peninsula. The modifications suggested, or adverted to by the English Cabinet, it ought not to be forgotten, would not in the slightest degree have impaired the substantial rights or liberties of the Spanish nation ; but, on the contrary, would have had no other effect than to assimilate its Constitution in some mea sure with that of England. Had Ministers en deavoured to persuade the Spaniards into ' the abandonment of any one feature of their political system, which is really necessary to their freedom, or had they attempted to intimidate them into compliance with the demands of France, we should have been amongst the first to condemn, with unmeasured indignation, conduct not less dishonourable than injudicious, and which would have been as unworthy of this country for its baseness and pusillanimity, as pernicious to British interests in its tendency and results. But Ministers not only never held the language of intimidation to Spain. Even in offering their advice, they only re commend that that should be done which it appears Spaniards themselves of all parties had repeatedly admitted to be necessary for the con solidation and permanency of their Constitutional System ! They merely advised the Spaniards to that,doocil the lain for the prevention of a foreign invasion, whi men of Spain had declared must be done, sootier or later, whether a foreign invasion took place or not. Under these circumstances, it is evident that th e British Government, which was so deeply interested in preventing the invasion of Spain by a French Army, not only On account of the gene ral tranquillity of Europe, but on account of the particular injury to British influence and interests which must result from the success of that en-: terprise, or from the formation„of a new Spanish Government by ther.-arini these circumstanCes it is bbviousjhat, the British Government would hale been guilty 'of a gross and unpardonable dereliction of its duty, if it had ne glected any fair or peaceful means afforded to it by its friendly relations with Spain, of averting a rap-. tune pregnant with the greatest evils and dangers . to the Peninsula,:end , caletilated either to involve Great Britain herself in a war, 0 , 4 least c:•,.be attended with results, at oncelm.hversive of the balance of power, fatal to theliitrependetice of the European States, and desfructive to, the 4,! just weight and proper influence :of. England, in the great EuropearCCotinnunity., the ,intimation' of all British States Men, it is better that Spain should be independent, even as a Re public, than dependent upon France, as a limited or as an absolute Monarchy; surely it *as Incum bent upon the British Cabinet to endeavour to avert the danger of dependency upon France, to which Spain now unhappily exposed by the chances of war ! if the policy of Eng land might require her to take up arms for the protection even of Republican Spain, surely she was justifiable in giving her friendly ceunsekon political considerations alone, to :those Spaniards who of themselves thought that the Monarchical and Republican anomalies of the Ceestitntion of ...• their Country stood in need of modification . It appears to us, therefore, that in the advice which they offered to Spain, Ministers are corn. pletely justified by those political considerations which clearly indicated to them that their first duty was the exertion of every possible effort for the preservation 'of peace. We might say further, that their advice to Spain was not only justifiable on considerations of .British policy, but was nothing more than that salu tary counsel which • one Power has the right of offering to another, and which it might ,be thought even bound to offer to an Ally, by the ties of amity and friendship, and from no other motive than a ' sincere regard for the safety agitlier P owers t i lwe lfareof the State whose relations with exposed it to danger. It is by strictly British• considerations, alone, however, that the conduct of Ministeri ought to be tried ; and if on those considerations it is satisfactory , to find that.their whole conduct throughout the ne gociations can be triumphantly vindicated, it is Much more gratifying to find, that, after the commencement of hostilities had become un avoidable, their resolution to observe neu trality is fully justified by the same com prehensive views and the same prudential mo tives, which influenced them in all their en. deavours to prevent a war! But, (and the distinction, amid the efforts which are daily made to reconcile the British Public to the ambitious projects of France,) — but, all those very considerations on which the conduct and policy of Ministers rest for justi fication,—all considerations of the peculiar interests of England, and not only of Eng lish interests, but of the rights and inde pendence of nations, and of the maintenance of the political system of Europe, unite with an irresistible and overwhelming force hi proclaiming to Great Britain that a wise re gard for her own interests, and a generous desire for the progress of Liberty on the Continent, as well as for the repose and security of Europe, equally demand her wishes and her prayers, if not her active assistance, in favour of Spain, and equally prompt her to anticipate with ardency the utter defeat and disconifittire of France in her unjust and unprovoked attack upon the independence of the Peninsula. All past expe rience,--the recent conduct of the French Go vernment,—the repeated declarations of the Earl of LIVERPOOL and Mr. CA NNlNG,—the evidence of facts of daily occurrence,--and the un erring conclusions drawn from the positive nature of things, and from the existing politi cal phenomena with which we are surrounded, — concur in demonstrating that the question between France and Spain is not merely one of inter nal regulation, nor even of external hostility, but is in fact the resumption by France, under the BOURBONS, of those projects of ambition which we resisted with so much perseverance and suc cess against the same country under BUONAPA RTE, and which, unless they are crushed in the first instance by the heroism of Spain, must sooner or later involve us in another mighty conflict with our ancient Rivals. As if to put an end to all doubt upon the sub ject, the Etoile Paris Paper, which is the present organ of the French War Party, has made the following observations on the opposi tion which has been manifested in this country to the invasion of Spain :-- " We cannot he astonished that an Englishman is alarmed at the consequences of a war, which is to restore to France her rank in Europe, and to thaw close again the former ties, which .I t i h r e file e e s r . c .i c u cl2 t i o r n a . crc ß d u h t y i ftitlheesFe- alarms a l • rn Y s what name do th e e are :d lie es Pg e l l t v C i 4 w *nt l C !n ?t e lir : e rrl dl; ey'uit ti Whti 'theniselves Fri-neh 9 Yet the *el ieisthis )who-, , in: their Journals, report the *ords of Lord tiamitlo not open their eyes as to the motives, at first secret, not (Ivalt ed,;witich maiiv this war in Spain so annoying And eve Use odious to most Englishmen. But, is it not precisely' became this Tigris wOT po . pillar to our rivals that it SHOULD Si 40 s ?!! Here, then, is an unequivocal acknowledgment though the war is apparently confined to France, acid Spain, the relative power and importance of England and France is the momentous object which is really involved in the issue of the contest ! And yet there are Englishmen who are so blind as not to see that, which France herself openly ex poses to their view, or who are so corrupt that they have hired themselves to the service of the old enemies of their country, and are assiduously labouring for' the promotion of those very projects, the accomplishment of which can only be prevented, perhaps, by the eventual expenditure of the best blood and the treasure of England ! There is one Evening Paper which, from its supposed connection with Ministers, has CO" t o r le ibut iu e , d bl materially ic,andp to mislead some a portion of Provincial Newspapers, upon this v but which has at length proceeded to such opea and shamelesas support of the injusti ce of France, and has hazarded such anti-patriotic reflectionsup on our own Government, for not having fallen In to the ranks of the Holy Allianc e, and led the w Ma ay for the march of the Fren ch Army to ; drid, that it is to be hoped it has a t last chspolled srtael sUfbieC the Provincial the delusion created by itself.
