TH.F.4 SU N . !CLEM QUIS vicExE FAILSVM AJIDEAT LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1823. It is not long since it was asserted, in justiti. cation of the invasion of Spain, that the revo lution of its Government was effected by a military: revolt, and that the nation wit onlyvie-" vented from declaring its sentiments, and from unanimously re-establishing the supreme autho rity of the KING; by the military despotism of the few adventurers who had seized the chief direction of public affairs. The revolt of the 7th July, when the Guards attempted to effect a counter-revolution, and when that project was only frustrated by the heroism of the volunteer militia and inhabitants of Madrid, was, to be sure, somewhat inconsistent with the hypothesis which assumed thiit the soldiers alone were friendly to the Constitutional Government.— Here was an important fact which seemed to establish the very reverse of the proposition, and to prove that while the military were desirous of rendering the KING once more despotic, the people were resolved, on the other hand, to maintain the freedom which they had obtained. The reply to it was, that the revolutionary spirit was only active in the capital; and that the rest of Spain was impatiently awaiting some opportunity to burst the bands' in which she :was held by a triumphant faction. But, new that the Governtnent'v4ks been removed to Seville, we find that the abettors of the French invasion boast of the attachment of the regular troops to the King,and!eprobate the enthusiasm, on the other hand, of the militia in favour of the Constitution ! German Papers arrived this morning. The following are extracts:— IriENxi, APRIL 23.—The Austrian Observer has pence from Corfu of the 13th of March, of which the following is an extract : "Sir Thomas Maitland, who sailed from Corfu on - the 7th of March, on board the Cumbrian, has left the lonian Islands in a state of tranquillity and increasing prosperity, which was hardly to be expected, after the violent fermentation of the last few years, and ►s the best eulogium on the wisdom and firm ness of his government." We have since learnt that the Governor remained several days in the Island of /.ante, where he gave a long audience to a Deputy front the insurgents, who brought proposals to him for a hnal reconciliation with the Porte. Before the departure of the Governor there was great alarm in the Turkish provinces on the opposite coast, in consequence of the disasters of the Turkish troops before Missolunghi, and the declared intention of Beschid and Omer Pacha, to occupy Prevesa with some thousand men, notwithstand ing the remonstrance of the Magistrates, and of the Fo reign Consuls. The alarm was increased by the news that the insurgents at Itlissolunghi, were making serious prepara tions to attack Prevesa, both by sea and land. The land ex pedition did not seem very probable, but a blockade by sea was much dreaded. These alarms have vanishes ; misunderstandings have taken place at 3lissolunghi among the insurgents, and the Chiefs who threatened to invade Albania have all returned to the Morea, to defend their own interest against their competitors. The two Paellas have promised not to keep above 400 of. their troops in Persia. The Pasha of Scutari has orders to come with his whole force to protect Southern Albania, and great preparations are every where making for a new campaign.— At Corfu, however, hopes are still entertained that an amicable arrangement will prevent farther bloodshed. The accounts from the Morea are very unfavourable for the Turks. The Piedmontese Gazette mentions the arrival of Sir T. Maitland at Turin, on the 24th of April. FROM THE BUCKOWNINA, APRIL. 8. News has just been received from Jassy, that the Hospo dar of Moldavia has been ordered by the Porte to arrest anti send beyond the Danube, 40 or 00 Ruyan's, as well as the Metropolitan, to be tried for their Conduct during the last two years. As there are fire Astrian subjects among them, M. de Lipp*, the Austrian Consul, required that t h ey should be excepted from this measure, and given up to him, otherwise he would leave Jassy. But the Prince declared that he could make no change in the order* of the Potte, and that it was indifferent to him whether the agent remained at Jassy or went away. In fact all those prisoners have been taken from Jassy, fas tened two together in the Turkish fashion to be tried. WEI MAlt, APRIL 28.—Every body here is full of joy. Since last night hopes are entertained of the life of her Royal High ness the Grand Duchess, who has been for *mite days in inui , mut danger. ,TRAM A CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCIIANGE, Twelve o'clock.--Consols opened this morning at 7011, and went up to 794 but have just declined again to 791 1.-- An Express from Paris has brought the French Recites 88 f. 2O c., and Spanish Bonds 494. 1 do not hear of any news of importance from the above capital, except that private ac. counts state that MINA has divided his army into strong Guerilla parties, which keep Mar shal MoNcay's army on the continual alert. FOREIGN MARKET.—Very little business in the above Market this morning. LIP Eft PO 0 1 4 MA Y 6.---Quarterpast Nine, p• tn. —Arrived the Robed Fulton, GRAHAM, from New York. Letter big not landed; she made the land in 19 days:, SPAIN. FRENCH ARMY IN SPAIN. Letters from Paris, of Monday last, which Con cain the details of:the movements of the French . , Army i n Spain, state, that the mode of pro ceeding intended for the first corps has been changed.— The Duke d'AxoormEstE, it appears, has sent orders to General MouTou to advance on Catalonia, with the view of drawing MINA from his present. positions, and attacking him on one side ; thus leaving Marshal Moncey to pursue his operations in Catalonia on the other. The 2d corps will thus remain separate from the Ist and 3d, to repulse Mina and Ballasteros ; and while with the Ist corps and the whole of the reserve, the Commander-in-Chief advances on Madrid, the 3d. corps will continue the blockade of S. Sebastian and. Pampeluna. It was expected that on the sth instant the Duke d'Angouleme would leave Vittoria, and that by the 9th' the headquarters would be transferred to Burgos, from whence the march to Madrid was to be commenced on the 13th, and it was supposed would occupy about ten days. According to reports fmni the interior, Ulman entered Valencia on the 15th of April, with out striking a blow ; Ballasteros had lost much by desertion, and Mina had retired on Barcelona with a small body of troops. Valladolid, it is said, was occupied by the Cure Merino, and Palencia by Cuevilla, another chief of the Royalists. The troops of Quesada hadadvanced as far as Aranda de Duero; and Amarante, it is said, was in Leon, with 4,009 troops, manoeuvring to unite with a person calling himself the Royalis t Chief of Galicia. Mmillowas in Galicia, with 2,000 men ; and Abisbal had encamped at the Pardo, two leigues from Madrid, with between 2 and 3,000 men. It is said that he has frequent conferences with the Magistrates of the capital. The following official account was received with the above letters:— , FIFTH BULLETIN OF THE SPANISH ARMY. • - r- . 4 ' Head-quarters, Vittoria, April 30, 1823. " General Count Molitoiyat- the head of the whole of the second cores, entered Saragossa on the' 26th of April. The evening before, the Magistrates of that city - had gone to meet him as far as Malkin, and on their request a battalion of'. the advanced giatrd . , commanded by Colonel Bdllanger , was sent forward. '''he most perfect order reigned in the midst of the numerous population, whose lively enthusiasm requited rather to he checke d . than excited. In the midist of this general joy, and with brilliant pomp, the entrance of the French troops into the capital of Arragon took place. " There were found in the castle of Saragossa 48 cannon, a great quantity of projectiles, and other munitions of wer: The revolutionists, in retiring, had only time to destroy the poWder. More than 8,000 Arragonese in arms will already have been joined to the second corps. " Ballasteros retires precipitately on Valencia, ordering along with him the whole of his detachments. The blockade of Me quinenza has been raised in consequence of the movements of the 2d corps, combined with that of the Marshal Duke de Co negliatio who, after having taken possession of Roses, has formed the blockade of Figueras, occupied the city, and is go ing to pursue his operations in Catalonia. " The important citadel of Jaca was placed in the power of his Catholic .Majesty on - the 24th inst. by the regiment which was destined to form its garrison, and which took possession of the place with cries of Live our beloved King !'-!-` Live Fer dinand VII. !'—' Live religion !' " Marshal the Duke of Reggio, who is still at Burgos, is constantly receiving fresh expressions of the impatienc• with which we are expected at Valladolid. The inhabitants of that town have given a proof of their good disposition, by taking up arms to repel a party under the Empecinado, which had been sent thither to carry off the Countess O'Donnel, the wife of Lieutenant-General O'Donnel, one of his Most Catholic Ma jesty's most faithful servants. " A column, under the orders of General Albignac,of the Ist corps, traverses the country between Burgos and. Santander, in, order to induce the evacuation of the latter.town, and to sup port the Spanish troops commanded by Quesada which bloc kade Santana': These troops have obtained possession of the ' fort of Laredo, which places the roads-of Santana in their power. " A slight engagement took place at the blockade of Pain. peluna, between alew hundred men Who niatle it sortie on a convoy of provisions, and a detachment of the 6th regiment of the line (Couch's division), which immediately drove them back into the place, with the loss of several killed, and about ten wounded. " Order aqd tranquillity prevail in all the provinces occupied by the army. (Signed) " The Major-Gen. Count GUILLEMINOT." Ma. CAan.—This Genth'man, who was the Prompter of Drury-lane Theatre, died on Saturday last, and has left a Wthow and Poutur x CHILDREN to the pro tection of the Theatrical profession and of the public at large. When the character of Mr. Calm is generally as well known as the unfortunate situation of his family, they will appear to have peculiar pretensions to compassion and benevolence. " lie was a scholar, and a ripe and good one," beinig well acquainted with the tireek and Latin languages I yet he never obtruded his classical attainments, but delivered his opinions, which were always marked by good sense and judgment, with unaffected modest simplicity. As a hut. band and a kther, his conduct was. exemplary and the general propriety o' s f his children proves that h6 e zealous. ly superintended their education and their morals. As an actor he never attempted to soar above the reach of his powers and his talents, but always manifested a judicious and critical conception of the character which he assumed in the modest course of his duty. Such a man deserves some memorial of public remtect, and the best memorial will he a liberal contribution for the support of his family. It is very gratifying to observe that the same benevolent spirit which animated the theatrical community on the loss of poor EMERY has already exerted itself in favour of Mr. CA RII'S fami. ly. Someof the contributions are of a very humble nature but they are not the less acceptable, as they manifest the feelings of the Donors, and are doubtless ell they could spare front their own scanty resources,—" the Widow': mite," is as much entitled to commendation as the most liberal largesaea of the wealthy.— It must be acknowledged that the Theatrical Body are always prompt in attending to the calls of humanity. Though the death of Mr. Clout so recently happened, we see in the hat of subscribers the names of every person connected with Drury. Lane Theatre, extending even to those in the humblest stations. We hope that so early and so laudable an example will be fol lowed by all who are able to testify their respect for the memory of a man whose charaeter was such, that in any situation of life he would have appeared as a gentleman, a scholar, and a useful and valuable member of society. The answer to the inquirers respecting his MAjEsTits, healk:yesterday was, " the KING is better." . On Tuesday night Mr. Rout msos, the KING'S Messenger, left town with dispatches for Spain. It is strongly rumoured in Bath, that his Al JESTY is expected there this summer, for the purpose of trying the efficacy of the Bath writers. It is rumoured that the Drawing Room will be next wPek. The Irish Papers contain the report or a trial of six men at the Cork Special Commission on the 29th of last month, for unlawfully assembling in the day time and turning up ground. The prisoners were found guilty, and sentenced to transportation for seven years. Mr. Walsh, one of the witness es fur the defence, was interrogated at some length by the Magistrates, relative to the intentions of the peasantry in turning up the ground. " It was his opinion they were much distressed, and wanted to get the ground at what they considered a reasonable value. If that were the case, he thought they would be tranquil, and he knew them to experience great dttliculty in procuring potatoe gardens from the farmers and gentlemen." This witness was represented as a man of excellent character. EXTRAtiIthiNARY ACCIDENT AN DEW.% PE.—The Superb steam-packet, from Glasgo* on her way to Liver pool, about two o' c l oc k on S a turday morning, was encountered by the Majestic, from Liverpool to Glasgow. The how of the Superb was completely stove in to the water's edge ; fortunately the sea was uncommonly calm, and the numerous passengers were safely removed on hoard the Majestic, and conveyed to the Isle of Man.—..(Manchester Meecul7l.)

Yesterday the Entertainment which was postponed from Easter Monday in consequence of the extensive repairs in that building, took place. The Egyptian Hall was most , superbly fitted up. for the occasion, but the number of tickets issued for the dinner having considerably exceeded what is usual, two of the spacious apartments on .the same floor were appropriated to the reception of the later guests.— The arrangements made by the Committee were, However, such as to prevent any long continued confusion in the Course of the arrival of a dinner party consisting of nearly 500 in dividuals. The company experienced in the change of the draw ing room, which has been transferred from the second to the first floor, a very great convenience. The Lord Mayor, in the course of the morning, received an apology from his Royal highness the Duke of Clarence, who was prevented from honouring the entertainment with his presence by illness.

The health of " The King," "The Duke 6( York and the Army," " The Duke of Clarence and the Navy," and " The health of the other branches of the Royal Family," having been given with the greatest applause, The Duke of YORK rose to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor," which was drank with the usual testimonies of approbation. The Loan 'MAYOII in returning thanks, said, that when he took upon him time o f fice, he had promised to maintain the hospitality anti splendour which ought to be expected from the Chief Magistrate of such a City.

To their measures the country owed the preservation of peace. The Earl of II annownY, in returning thanks, assured the company, that whatever might be the effect of their measureg, their object was the prosperity of the country, as well as the honour of the City of London, over which the Lord Mayor so worthily presided. The health of " the Duke of Argyle ; and the rest of the Nobility who had honoured the City with their presence," was then drank—after which, The LORD MAYOR proposed " the health of the Duke of Wellington, to whose prowess in arms it was owing that the country was in its present state of safety." The Duke of WELLINGTON, in returning thanks, Said that the manner in which the compliment had been paid hint con. vinced him of its sincerity. It was particularly gratifying to him to receive the thanks of the citizens of London in the pre sence of a member of the Royal Family, and of some of the Ministers under whose direc , ions he acted against the enemies of his country. The health of the Foreign Ministers being drank' Baron LANGSI)OIIFF, the Hessian Minister, rose and spoke as fol lows My Lord Mayor, in the name of the members of the Diplomatic Corps here present, I have the honour of returning to you our warm thanks for the high compliment you have paid us.

After several other healths were drunk, the hour for the re. ception of the evening party arrived, and the dinner party rose. The menus were soon crowded, and the dancing commenced at half-past ten. The ball was opened by the daughter of Sir C.

Yesterday the great Anniversary Meeting of the Bible Society was held at the great haU of the ,Free. masons' Tavern, which was filled in every part, even to the galleries, soon after the doors were opened, and great numbers were unable to obtain admission. Lord TEinxatotran took the Chair. The report, which was extremely voluminous, was read by the Secretary. It announced the death of their late secretary, the Rev. John Owen, to whose memory it paid a tribute, in which the Meeting expressed their concurrence by the m anner in which they received the intelligence. The number of the copies of the Scriptures circulated this year exceeded that of any former year, and made the total circulated by this Society alone, since its commencement, more than three mi l ° lions of copies. It also represented the Society to be sail i fi ts ou a r ge isl n fi ts ng an i d d its supporters n increased ro po f the world. in India,world.an Rmas, and had spread and America. Lord BEXLEY seconded the motion that the report should be received. He said that he could not help congratulating the Meeting on the beneficial effects which they had already pro' duced, and the extent to which they had spread the Scriptu res, as exemplified in their distribution of them for the comfort of the inhabitants of the frozen regions of Iceland and a lar g e por tion of South America. His Lordship concluded by express' in his ardent wishes for their prosperity. Lord BARROWRY was received with much applause. He moved the thanks of the Meeting to their President.

Wren, who, having laid the first stone of the great Metropolitan Temple to God. had the felicity to see its top ascend to the clouds, and crowned by the cross of Christ. able The Bishop of GLOCESTER seconded the mo tion in an eulogium on the exertions and conduct of the Noble Chairman. His Lordship said, there was one statement in the Report It which be was particularly gratitied—namely, the statemen t tul i fte rd d of the progress which the society had made in Ireland ; t.. s he was convinced that the only permanent remedy for the evil . which afflicted that unhappy country was religious and moral education. and the i:ed increase of correspondence in the most remote and unciv countries. thTeEmrortminoguuTpounrostheciarnpdroregtruersnseadbtrhoaadnk, s, and confraet returned The Secretary from the Russian Bible Society thanks in the name of their fellow labourers in Russia.tu Ires 0 informed the meeting that they had circulated the Scrip amongst Cossacks and Tartars of various nations; a llag st e „ even the Chinese and to the confines of the va st em p ire. at had printed in the last year 160,000 copies of the Scriptures gu St. if Y th e ed ters p b er u so rg n h z: ad and dr t es h s .ea is yea r the iwnoueetl:wp,nwnhtichloo,sooo 11Prraistin. dons were unanimously agreed to, separated.
