S01.1::31 QUIS DICI2RE F.itsum LQNDON, IVEPNESDAY, JULY 2, 1823. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday, but they bring no fresh intelligence from the the;atre of war. There are various and contra dictory rumours respecting INllNA,—some alleging, that, depressed by anxiety and fatigue, he is shut up in the Seo d'Urgel, where he will shortly be forced to surrender, and others al leging, on the other hand, that his . entry into the Sea was nothing more than one of those strata gems for which be 14 as remarkable, —that he merely passed through the place,—and that the rumours of his exhausted condition, and of his being stationary within the fortress, had been circulated by himself, for th e purpose of deceiving his enemies. Whilst the French, therefore, and their A llies tl u Spanish Royalists, imagine that MINA is in the midst of them, and whilst they are preparing to attack the place in ',licit he is supposed to have taken refuge, that eetraordinary Chieftain, who has so often baffled the plans of his opponents, is probably manceu vring in an entirely different quarter EXPRESS FROM PARTS. We have at a late hour this forenoon received the Journal des 1) bass and the Maile of Monday, front which we extract the following' importa►►t intelligence : ( Front the Journal des Diboll.) NEWS FROM THE ARMY IN SPAIN. MADRID, JUNE (BY AN EXTRAORDINARY COURIER.) An event similar to that which happened a Madrid before the entrance of the French troops into that capital has taken place at Seville, and has hitherto prevented us from receiving informa tion from that city and Cadiz. The Extraordinary Gazette, which 1 send you, contains all the details. The inhabitants of Seville who were favourable to the cause of the King have been massacred, as at Madrid, by the satellites of the Cortes, Lopez Banos, who was flying before General llourmcmt, arrived at Seville with about 12 tol 1500 men two or three days before our troops, thinking to find the Cortes there. The people refused to receive him, and defended themselves bravely ; but," as he made use of artillery, the people , were dispersed, and Lopez Banos forced his way into the town, where he ,bad time to levy contributions, with which lie run off like Pepe, Lopez Banos re treated, at the approach of our troops, to the frontiers of Portugal, not being able to proceed to , Cadiz, as General Bordesoult had cut off his ,communication. half of his band deserted him ,before he left the suburbs of Seville. The ail •vanced guard of General Bordesoult was, on the 18th, at Ultrera, three marches from Sainte Marie. A courier from Seville brings some fresh accounts of the deplorable scene which took place at the departure of the King.-- ,Open violence was employed against the august Prisoners. The Princesses were exposed to ireat outrages. The young Queen was seen to ;weep. It is certain that several members of the ,(tortes, and a number of Councilors of State have -remained secreted at Seville. The Royal Family were carried to Cadiz, and lodged at the Custom house ; and, it is Said, the Cortes remain in the Island of Leon, as it will offer to them a better chance to escape individually. The carps diplo ma:blue remain at Seville, and have refused to follow the Cenventionalists. P. S.—The moment I am cicising my letter, a report ,prevails that the troops of Lopez Banos have been attacked by a party of cavalry of General Bourrnont, who have taken from them t h e mone y w hich they pillaged at Seville. MADRID, Julie 24.--On the 20th of this month Arrived in this capital .Colonel I3outourlir, Aid. de-Camp of the tmperor of Russia, to compli ment the Duke d'Angooleme on his'successes in Spain. The mission of the above Colonel is a 'new proof of the interest which the Emperor of Russia takes in the deliverance of the Spanish nation. PERKGNAN, JUNE 29--The pontoons of the Constitutionalists are one league from Barcelona, and four leagues from our troops. The two French officers who were taken at Mataro, have been condemned to be shot, and were executed on the 16th. • On the lOth, the garrison of Figueres carrik d off one of the posts of the Army of the Faith, consisting of 20 men and one officer. ( From the Etaik of Monday Evening.) GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY OF AIADRID. SEvILLE, JUNE 18.—After the departure of MajOsty and , the troops, this town was in a state of anarchy. On the morning~ of the 16th, Gen. Lopez Banos presented himself before the Faubourg of Triana, with the remainder of the troops which had been commanded by Abisbar, and afterwards by Casteldorius. Instantly all the inhabitants were in motion, and the fire com menced from the cannon at the head of the bridge. The Constitutionalists experienced a great loss; but, by a neglect of good order in the town, General Banos succeeded in entering Seville." The town was in the greatest conster nation. All the houses were shut. • The exact number of killed tind wounded cannot as yet be ascertained. Jusc 17.—The troops of Lopez Banos cont nue in this town, but are ready to depart. The soldiers are roaming about the town pillaging. Ruiz 18.--This rooming Lopez Banos eva cuated this capital, after having taken two mil lions of reals in contributions. The vessels which took those employed in the King's suite have returned from Cadiz, and state that the Royal Family entered on the 14th, at four o'clock in the morning. None of the Am bassadors have acknowledged the Regency, —not even the English Ambassador. A Decree has been published, signed by the Duke Infantado, which orders to transmit with out delay orders to the Governor of Ceuta not to suffer the Cortes, or any revolutionary Go. vernor, to enter that fortress. MADam, JUNE 9.s.—Lopez Banos has re: treated to the mountains to gain Badajoz. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY, MAINIM, JUNE 25 Government has received . the news that the Revolutionary. General . Lopez Banos, after eva cuating Seville on 'the 18th, has been attacked, and completely routed by the French„who hay* taken 350 prisoners, and all his artillery, arms and ammunition, baggage, &c., with an immense booty,' . and m o re than two millions of reals in silver, which had been plundered at Seville and throughout the country. Nail, JUNE 30.—The news from Spain is of the greatest importance.—Villa-Campa has been, abandoned by his troops before Cadiz. Lopez Banos is completely beaten. The Garrisons of Cadiz and the Isle of Leon do not consist of more than 3,500 militiaond 3,000 of the line. French Funds at Five o'Clock Monday Evening, .French Rentes 88f. 75c.—Spanish 361. In our preceding columns, under the head • " PORTUGAL," we have given extracts•• from the Lisbon Gazettes to the . 2lst instant, con sisting of further details of the progress of the counter.revolution, and the Royalist Portu guese account of the vexatious interruption given to the proceedings of Sir Itoncwr WiLsoN and his companions. Private Letters have also been received in this country from Sir ROBERT and his friends since their return from Portugal to Spain. We subjoin the following extracts, which possess considerable interest Vico, .11114 E 15, 1023. I wrote to you at Oporto, the day on which that town pro claimed the King absolifte, which agreed badly with the ac count I had before sent you of the dispositions the Portuguese Ciovernmentintended making in favour of Spain, and the pro bability of placing some, if pot all their troops, under the com mand of Sir Robert Wilson. In order to chew you hew fur I was justified in this opinion, I must add; that at Lugo Sir It. received a letter from M-----, In Lisbon, saying 40,000 men would be under arms, and ready to take the held by the Ist of June, and expressing some hints to the above effect, and that his presence in Lisbon would be of gr e a t service. The same post brought me a letter also from a gentleman in some con sitlerable tioverninent employment, requesting nie to use my influence in persuading Sir R. to go to Lisbon, that his arrival would place him in that ost which he Sir It. could have no.idea of.: On our arrival at Chaves, Sir It, was hailed by the Gove rnor as a comrade in arms, and as one who would soon be at the command of his country's troop& On our arrival at Oporto, we learnt the change which had so suddenly taken place in Lisbon, and remaining there four or five days for farther con firmation of the pending tram - Wens, Sir It. found the policy of the country so much changed, that he determined on return ing to Galicia, fir which purpose we started on Friday the thh, l in the morning, and reached Braga that evening, while the Absolute King was proclaimed in that town; we were detained some time at the Camara (or Town Hall); the Commandant at length told me, if we remained in the town that night, he would not answer for our liven, but recommended our going to a village a league off, and offered an escort of six soldiers. I communicated this to Sir It.. who was waiting in the square; he very justly SAW that the same danger which attended us in Braga, with a garrison, might also follow us a league further with only an escort of six men, and therefore deterinined on remaining, particularly as it wax then quite light, and the crowd so thick round us, that we could Hardly move. The Commandant at length ordered she escort to see us to the inn; as soon as we began to move , the feeling of the Mob ;hew ed itself, and instigated by three or four of those charitable dispensers of Christianity, the Priests, several of them drew their knives, and rushed• at us, with the design of ex ecuting the orders of these wretches ; but the escort of mi. litia, and some more who had come of their own accord, with their bayonets kept the furious mob from reaching our persons. The cries of the Priests to' kill MI seemed to have an extraordinary impulsive power over the rabble.' On reach ing ih_t Inn the crowd became very loud and troublesome, still insisting on having our lives, and the Commandant could only satisfy them by assuring them he meant to keep us pri soners until he got further orders. At eleven 'o'clock the town became more quiet, and we were left with a strong guard. The next day, Saturday the 7th, another regiment of militia marched in at eight A. M.; the whole town seemed busy in taking up Constitutionalists, and the crowd for this' reason was not great before our windows. Oa the Bth all quiet, but still detained ; thoughin the middle of the day we were informed that Gen. Rego had sent an order for us to be released, and tel have an escort to conduct us to the frontiers, but we were advised not to start till midnight • accordingly at that hour, with a guard of 50 men, we marched out of the town, and at Polite Pradd (one league on the road towards Vienna) we parted from them, taking with us a corporal and four men; on reaching another league we met an officer who delivered a letter to Sir. R. from advising him by no means to enter Vienna, for the people there were as much bent on our destruction as at Braga; and being informed that every other place through Which we should have'to pass was exactly the same, we had no road left but going hack to Oporto, there to embark for Spain; ac cordingly we repassed the river Caved°, about a league above Ilarcellos, and reached Oporto between eleven and .twelve at night, after a march of near 60 English miles, in one of the hottest days I ever experienced; an d walking a great part of the way in order to ease the five soldiers who were with us (who mounted our mules in turns). We had hardly been ten minutes in our old lodgings when three officers from the Go vernor, attended by an escort of cavalry, came to fetch us to the Government House,. and desired all our baggage to be sent there also. On arriving Sir It. was taken into another room, where he met with the most uncivil treatment from the Government General Pamplona. I must here observe the in solenee and petty pride of the newly-established Aids-du -Camp, Secretaries, &e. &c. about :it) in number, who strutted about like so many dung-hill cocks. At three in the morning, after all our fatigues, without being allowed time to rest or refresh, we were marched off towards Spain again, and halted at Cazal de Pedro(4 leagues), where we rested Wile hours; at ten that night we mounted our mules, and moved"on to Villa de Conde on the sea-coast with the intention of embarking, and freeing ourselves at once from the Portuguese soil; but our evil fortune attended us here, fur a strong northerly wind set in suddenly, and put an end to our design. At five A.3t., June 11, we took the road for Vienna, and arrived within half a league of that town in the evening; put up at a miserable house with the whole escort of cavalry, the Governor of Vienna having sent us word that he did not wish tutu pass through the town till midnight, the people being still against us; at half-past twelve we again started, and passed through the town quietly—reached Ca- minho about seven in the morning, where we breakfasted, and crossed the Minim about II A.M. for La Guardia, not a little pleased at touching the Spanish soil aga i n . Fina ll y , w e reached Vigo on the evening of the 13th, where all our old friends ma ithe.sted the same joy as bethre on seeing us. I should be most ungrateful ni not express y wannest sense of the kindness of the Spanish people ; I have lived much amongst them, and hatre always found their hospitality augment as the necessity of the stranger requires It. The greatest abhorrence is expres. sed at the conduct of the Portuguese; and, so far from being changed. in their constitutional ideas, by the late revolt in the neighbouring country, their firmness is beyond. praise, and many of the young mets of the.most respectable families in this town have now come to a resolution of remaining no longer. as militia or volunteers, to wait the arrival of the enemy here, but formed themselves into a guerilla corps, and will march directly to the front. What mote can I say for the Spaniards ? • Our old friend the Governor of Chaves, Igno. Peresto. 31a rine Pereira, has made his escape from the prison of that town, and arrived here this morning . ' I am really glad of it, for he is a most gallant fellow. Ile 'had been nearly murdered by the poulace at Chaves, several times before he r e a ched the p rison. \Ve fonnd on our arrival here that the French party, who had before united at lletanzis and lingo, had been here, and already embarked for England; this may produce some had effect on the people of England, and I make no doubt but that their own storr, .accounting for their stiOen abandonment of the cense wil l be told in a way to injure t he real feelin g s of die —Spanish people; but the truth should be known; .ever since their first arrival in Spain there, existed much dissension amongst themselves ; and it was also well known that they did flat menu to Meet' the common enemy, btit merely fight against the factious, until the French were either driven out of Spain, , or they, by some lucky chance, could regain France, with the power of creating a counter-revolution. In the mean time, they .wished to be under the command of General Lallemand, placed in their several ranks of Colonels, Majors, Captains, &C., and receive pay of the Spanish Government accordingly. This, it appears, hai not met with the approbation of the Spaniskeenerals. Some disputes ar, anti finally they came bug°L j ,t l sto so p rr e y oThn to, b e e l to this place and embarked. ..4n ordersame the evening before last front the head-quarters, C o :a b rro lig n ed an t t o l search his papers, but too late. make this statement, as I am personally acquainted with some of them and have a great regard for them, but justice to the o pan i ar 4 d eman d s ft of me. While they remained here, anti until the foreign legion could be formekthey , receiv , sl the same rations as the soldiers of the country and one shilling a day each, and this, until they became ettbetive, was us much as Spain could afford. • There is a report of the Spaniards having obutineti some im pnitant Success in Iliscay, where they have between four and five thousand men, under some skilf u l o ffi cers. Muffle is still at Villa Franca. The forces the enemy had in Astorga a little time back have evacuated that town, and they have collected a force of about ten thousand men in Leon, which causes some anxiety in this province. There are now five different Guerilla corps forming in Galicia. General Lopez de Banos is said to have 10,000, b u t not more than half old soldiers. General Ballasteros is reported to have 12,000 good troops, and is supposed to be moving from 'Va lencia in the directlon of Cuenca. Of Mina little is known in this peovince; but the state of Catalonia is said to be favourable. regard to the assistance England has so long led this country to expect from her, if she does not mean to put it into execution, it had much better never been talked M', as for some months they have been looking forward to it, and their plans, in this part of Spain were cert ainly , much adopted accordingly. Five thousand men would, united with the Magicians, Maintain this strong province against any attack of the enemy ; and While they are at Madrid, anti the line of march so Offended, We could beat them in detail, liam.ss their convoys, impede their . commonieutlons, and, In short, be the means of enabling Spain to free herself without coming to any disgraceful terms with her invaders. Spain left to herself will struggle, but can never effect any great shock upon the enemy. It would be but justice, if the people of England do not mean to assist, to declare so at once. VIGO, JUNE 15,11123. It is hardly to be supposed that Sir R. could leave Portugal' after such 'treatment, without expre ssing his mind in some shape to that nation; he has, therefore, caused the following Proclamation to be translated into Portuguese; and to be for ,warded there : [The Proclamation is inserted In the Lisbon extracts.] Letters have been received here from Madrid, which state that town to be tranquil, and that the French had received a severe check at Almarez, and that a Guerilla corps of 5,000, under Lochos, had been nearly destroyed by a Constitutional Guerilla corps : also that the head-quarters of the Duke d'Angouleme were to be removed to Valladolid. Lopez de ; paw's. is reported to take the command in Gali .cia, and General Zayas to succeed hint in his present command. Vtoo, Justi 17.—N0 tithes news. The packet has this moment arrived, and the letters are to go miniediately on board. This forenoon a Special Messenger arrived in a chaise and faur at the Colonial Office, in Downing street, with dispatches from Corfu.

One day last week, when riding in the vicinity of Cumberland Lodge, his Majesty came suddenly , on'a large party of his domestics playing cricket. At this unexpected approach of their Royal Master, they began to scamper in all directions'; but the King, with his accustomed good nature, sent one of the Gentlemen in at tendance to desire them to continue their game, and never to let his approach interrupt their sports. His Majesty then continued his ride In another direction, observing to his attendants, that cricket was a noble game, and that, when he was able to play, behimself enjoyed the exer cise as much as any one.

A short account of the origin of this Academy was laid before the public in the month of February last.-- From this statement it will 'only be necessary to recapitulate, that the gratuitous offers of assistance of a few patriotic lat., viduals, for the purpose of promoting the establishment of a national School for the arts in Rome, having been accepted by the Artists residing there, it became necessary for them to make the Scheme known, in order to invite further subserip. dons, and follow up the undertakipg in which they had con sented to embark.. Several distinguished individuals at once gave importance to the plan by early mineral contributions, and the gradual formation of a fund has continued to justify . 1 the expectations that were entertained at the commencement. These expectations have been more than confirmed by the pa. tronage and encouragement of His Maje Sty, who has been graciously pleased to give his effectual sanction and assistance to the scheme. After such an auspicious begAnnin, it would ill become the English Artists at present in Rome to omit to acquaint the public with the progress of an establishment which promises at so early a stage to realize the hopes of its well wishers. The main object of the Institution, and the only condition on which the Artists received the first Subscriptions, was and is the formation of a national and permanent school for the Fine Arts in Rome. They, therefore, resolved for the present to apply the interest only of the money received in defraying the' current expenses of their Drawing Academy, assisted by their own contributions. The only exception which has been made to this law is the application of the liberal contribution of the Royal Academy in fitting up a school for permanent use. The assistance afforded by-..an Institution composed of a body of Artists, and to whichalmost every English Student is indebted for his professional education, might, it was thought, be con. , sistently appropriated to this purpose. Such is the present state of the Academy for assisting the professional studies of•Uritish - Artists in Rome. With respect to future views, as the f u nds of this Academy • increase, larger apartments will be taken which will be gradually furnished with costs from the antigne, a • library, and other means o f a s sistin g the Artists in their studies. Should a considerable stun be raised, it may be thought advisable to hire or purchase a large house, and thus place the Institution, in some respects, on the footing of other Academies established in Rome by the different Do vcrtiments of Europe. It will naturally be asked who are the Directors of this project, and how arc they responsible to the public? A Committee will be appoimed.froni time to time from among the resident Artists; the individuals composing the Academy are not fixed residents, and will gradually he suc ceeded by others resorting to Rome. In this respect, the prin• ciple of the Association is analogous to that of a body corporate in England. The greater part of the subscriptions has been received in Rome, and the whole sum or nearly so, is at present lodged therc, but it Is intended to transfer it soon to England, where trustees will be appointed. In the possible case of British subjects being excluded from the Continent, the funds will continue to accumulate in Eng land, but it would be premature to discuss t h e q uestion, whe ther in that case they' could be applied to any other purpose, with the general consent of the Subscribers. The Artists cannot conclude this statement without congra. , tulating the English Artists in general on th e p ros p ect of t he establishment of a fund exclusively for the purposes of art; end they venture to indulge a hope that this provision for the education of Artists in the higher branches of their profession will be ultimately extended to the public employment of all who are worthy, whether educated at home or abroad; A list of the Subscribers may be seen at Messrs. COUrre where a hook has been opened for the purpose of receiving fur ther subscriptions. Rome, May 28,1023. 81318CRIYTION8 'RECEIVED. His Majesty - 200 X. • Mr. Hamilton 100 £.

The fact is this :—Sir. J. P. BouonEY lost his eldest son and heir, who died of a fever, and wishing to see him, he had the coffin opened, and the effluvia arising from the body was the cause of his taking the fever, and his death.
