At Tordesillas, it very important military point, the Cap tairs-General has stationed a detachment of 150 infantry and , N 9 horse..; another detachment occupies Medina del Campo; , and 30W—infantry and 80 horse cover Valladolid, and form a camp of reserve. But what can such a weak force effect in so imnrdnse a country as Castile. ,h is :quid:that theEmpecinado makes excursions to the en , yironsof Valladolid, and that he has set at liberty 400 Consti- tutionalists who have joined him. , .‘."rhe niiatia of.

".Letters, from i'lontero state,s that a free corps of 309. men have entered Cordova." We stated on Saturday that the successful re sigance of Corunna had excited a hope ttiarthe situation of the, French might becomeso extremely, dangerous as to " compel the Duke of ANGOU LEME to concentrate his scattered divisions, and i to retrograde to his former position on the line of the Ebro."—We little thought, while we were Writing that sentence, that it would he so soon followed by the 'following positive annunci ation by one of our contemporaries (the Courier), who has been supposed to enjoy the , particular favour of the French Government : _ "pur_Readers may rely upon the authenticity of the follow. ing intelligence : The.Yrancli . Government have it in contemplation to retire across the Ebro, and to take up their line of defence along that river. The 'heavy artillery has been ordeied up to invest the strong positions on that line. " It is the intention of thelhike d'ANootru:srE to with ' draw the troops from before Cadiz, unless there should arise a more latourable prospect of being successful in accommodating the differences between the contending parties in Spain. The dissensions; in fact, between the Royalists themselves form al- Most as strong an impediment to the adjustment of matters, as the dissensions between the Royalists and the Cortes." Of the preceding alleged intelligence, w,e can only gay that we wish, from the bottom of our hearts that we could believe it to be true. There is no doubt but the French find their situation iu Spain exceedingly critical,--that the Government, as • we ll , 38 the army, wish themselves well out of •. the war,- 7 —a n d that it is even probable, that the , resolutifia may already have been taken to re trograde to the Ebro, if not to the Pyrenees. The French Government, however, wonid not be so insane as to announce its intention to with;. ilreiu i ts 81i nS Such an annunciation would her nothing less than an invitation to the Span iards to prepare for the destruction of the retreat ing French corps !! ! The " article to which we allude, therefore, can only be founded on con jecture ; but :from the quarter in which it has appeared (sUpposed to be in possession of the secrets of the 'Cabinet of the Tuileries), it is cal culated to have a most pernicious influence on the French cause in Spain ; and, on the contrary, t o inspire the Spaniards with additional courage and . ..•, .• enlarged : hopes. Indeed, we understand that the . Spanish Legation here have perceived the ad-. vantages which . might • be derived from and that "..great numbers of. the paper_ in question have been sent off to all parts of 11-=The following extract of a letter •from Ildris - seetns to afford a clue to the astound. ,ing assertions of our contemporary. Though the . tWo Stories are . Very different, in some respects, yet they both.teml to shew that the French are .very- uneasy in their present situation " Ai Boon as Ferdinand has returned to Madrid, a Proclama tion will declare the restoration of the monarchy, and the d own _ fairer - the revelution. In consequence of this assu med victor y; the Dukeof Angoideme and the two Marshals, Moneey and Oudinot, .will return immediately into France, where the 111 rasters expect to receive them with triumphal honours before the 25th August. :All the French troops will retire behind the Ebro. and will be commanded by Marshal Lauriaton. They are to form an Army of Ocitipation, to keep lown the people and assist Ferdinand's flOvernment in case of need. M. de Villele is greatly pleased with the plan ; Angoulome is delighted with the idea of his return ; and. Bellurio,4ho. says least on this subject, is the most satisfied of the three, because he will thus be enabled to get clear of Ouilletninot, and give the command of the army to one of his. creatures." EXPRESS FROM PARIS. We have received at a late hour this forenoon Paris Pipers of Saturday and yesterday. We have not:time for comment. The following 'extracts, 'particularly that from the Drapeau Blanc, respecting the war in Catalonia, are highly important [From the Pilule of Sunday, July 27.] The Moniteur contains the following Circular Letter, which has been sent by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Ambassadors and Minis ters of tlie Maritime Powers residing at the Court of France.—A second Circular has also been addressed, notifying the blockade of Co runna and Ferrol :-- " MONSIEUR AMBASSADOR.—The French Go- Vertu:ilea ; true to the principles of generosity which it manifests, in not distributing letters of marque, and in letting freely pass all merchant ships, thought they had no occasion to give no tice of the effective blockade of the ports of Spain ; they also thought that the drat: of war and nations were fully known, not to force the blockade, and to relieve places besieged by his Christian Majesty. " Experience has proved to the French Go. vernment that they have been deceived. Almost every day, vessels, under different colours, enter Cadiz, Barcelona, Santona, and Saint Sebastian, with provisions and ammunition. Several of these vessels, particularly at Cadiz, have been taken by the ring's ships. •• ." The Government 'of his Majesty desires in future that the subjects of neutral Powers will not expose themselves by.sending Commercial ex peditions to ports which are blockaded. I beg of you, M. Ambassador, .to announce to your Go. vernment, that according to the droits of the ma. ritime laws, vessels to whatever nation they may belong will be. taken by, his, Majesty's forces, and run the tisk of confiscation. " CIIA.TEAUBRIAND." REMARKS OF TUE DRAPEAU BLANC. General Donnadieu has asked leave of absence to go to Barreges to cure an old wound. Th►e latest information announces that Mina, with 6,000 men, is marching for Upper Catalonia, by which means he may again get in the rear of our army, and cause some confusion on our frontiers. Ministers have been warned of the serious faults committed, in defiance of the courage and ardour of our troops. The army , of Catalonia has made three grand faults : First, when' the Marshal had 9,000 men in presence of 10,000 Constitution alists, he remained 10 days without attacking them.' Secondly, when Gen. St. Priest pursued Mina in the mountains, and in Cerdagne, .General DonnadiCa solicited daily of the Marshal to leave Vique to cut off Mina's retreat, which was refused. Thirdly, when Generals Donnadieu and Curial completely defeated the Constitutional Army at Molins del Rey, and at Martorel, and Donna. dieu wished to pursmrthe enemy sword in hand to Villa Francti, he"yi' as prevented. This last fault was the most, serious, because Mina has Igidn thrown 'himself into the mountains in the Taar of the army, which will be obliged again to march hi pursuit of him, and the blockade o Barcelona cannot be continued. BAYONNE,LI' 17.—1 t is reported at Madrid that the headquarters will ~be transferred to seville. The vessels which are to carry ammunition to St. Mary's will soon be ready to sail. One hundred ~.. • and thirty pieces of artillery are expected for the attack of Cadiz., The inhabitants of 50am/tuck_ do not think themselves in safety, owing to there being,*- in that neighbourhood, many Constitutipnalists.

[From the Etoik ill:Saturqaya illy 26.] MADRID, JULY el.—Yesterday, a fire broke broke out in a chapel of a Convent contiguous to Fe Hotel in which the Duke d'Augouleme re sides. llis Highness used to go to this chapel early in the morning to hear mass, and he only had left it an hour before tho fire took place, it burned during twenty-four hours, the church, convent, and several houses fell' a sacrifice to the flames, the above accident is attributed to the furnace of a neighbouring brew-house. PORT ST. IVIAny, JULY 17.—The following are some details of the affair of thu 16th, before Cadiz., 'At 'five o'clock in the morning, the enemy to the number of 8 or 9,000 men, sup ported by the fire of sixty heavy pieces of artilery, and nine gust-boats, made a sortie mix columns from the Isle of Leon to attack the different points of our line. These columns, after having passed the canal near the fort Sainte Petri, formed under the protection of their batteries, and commenced their move ment. To deceive the enemy, General Borde soulle ordered his troops to retreat. When the enemy had advanced only 30 steps, the impetuosity of his troops commenced the charge. The enemy, protected by his numerous arti llery, were over• thrown on all points, and retreated with consi derable loss. The enemy demanded a truce of three hours to bury their dead. MA.Dit I D JULY 26—Six o'Clock at night.-- Two frigates blockade the Port of Corunna, in which General Quiroga is shut up. Morillo, with his troops, marches on Saint Jaques de Campostell.

We are just enabled to give the most positive assurances that our. Government: have received no such information as was announced in The Courier of Saturday last, respecting the alleged intention of the French GOvernment to withdraw their army to the Ebro ; and that, of the contrary, the statement iu question is be lieved to be a gross fabrication. We recommend the following paragraphs to the cool consideration of our sagacious ad vocates for free trade. We shall in due time, no doubt, be spared half the dangers and fatigues of traversing the ocean with our merchandize and the produce of our colo nies. It must be highly gratifying to our manufacturers, too, to know that the clothiers of Russsia and Poland can send their fabrics to the warehouses . of this country for competition With our own manufactures ! HAMM! itfitt, JULY consequence of the alterations and modifications of the celebrated Navigation Act, lately made by the English Legislature, we bad last week the novelty of the arrival of a ship from Jamaica direct,'which brings the produce of that island to our market, without having passed through England. A ship from Bombay has also arrived in the Elbe, with a crew, composed of natives of that remote country, of above oue hundred men. WansAW, J 1.; LY 7. The report spread by several FP-. reign Journals of the assembling of considerable corps of troops in the kingdom of Poland is wholly un tint nded. The number of cloth manufactories has been much increased in this kingdom. Besides the capital, there are thirty-one towns in which such manufactories are, established. We beg to , refer our Readers to Mr. OWEN'S advertisement, in another column, calling a Public Meeting to.morrow. We hope to see a powerful support given to this philanthropic character, in the propositions which he will doubtless submit for carrying into immediate ef. fect his admirable arrangements for the employ ment of the working classes and the poor. ( From the .Glasgow Courier, July 24.) Extract of a Letter from a Gentleman belonging to this city at present in France, " CAEN; JuLY 13,11123.—1 n the harbour of Havre there is at present much bustle, o ccas i one d b y a great many American ships which are discharging their cargoes, consisting princi pally of cotton. The quantity of that article is so great that it is actually piled on the quays in immense heaps, larger almost than ordinary hay stacks. The inner harbour, which is of a prodigious size, is literally tilled with the French ships with their masts struck and awnings over them laid up as useless, owing to the Spanish war , w hi c h i s, in this part of the coun. try, unpopular with all ranks, classes and professions. I un derstand an immense number of workmen have been dis charged from the different manufactories in this part of France, and that a considerable number of, Englishmen, who 'were employed as cotton spinners, 'hatters, &c. &c. have returned home, not being able any longer to find employment here.— The country from Havre to this place, a di stance o f a b out forty miles, is one of the most fertile and beautiful parts of Normandy. The grain crops are very good, _but about six weeks later than last year. The weather here this season has been - very much the same as with you, that is a good deal of sunshine, with frost in' the mornings and the evenings. Last year they had an abundant crop of every thing, and, in consequence, bread, wine and cider are at present. cheaper here. than almost ever - remembered. This year they have some doubts if the grapes will ripen ; in consequence of which the wine-bibers are looking forward in despair. A Toniseau of cyder, which co n t a ini t , I should think, neatly two pipes, which formerly sold for 100 franca, sells at present for 110, and the best v i n o r in na i re so low as 9 row per bottle. —Small as the trade of this place is, there are a number of vessels laid up as at Havre, and the garrison, which last year consisted of cavalry, artillery and infantry, to the num ber of 3000 men, is now reduced to three ,or four companies of the Regiment of Holienlobe, a kind. of regiment com posed of foreigners,. something like our 60th. The remain. der of the regiment is a t Ch er b urgh and other places 'along the coast • all the regular and b est troops are in Spain, from whence the people here cannot learn one word of what is going . on that they can depend upon. In this place, which volumes about 40,000 inhabitants—they are principally I. i. berate". They were great supporters of Iltionaparte, until he 'became Emperor and went to Spain. They then began to look to the Bourbons with a favourable eye, but now, since the war with Spain has again commenced, Louts is become no favourite, and for this reason the English here are now more liked than they were, because our Government have lcdpt neutral.— A great number of English families have returned home, anti there are few coming to supply their place, so that I ant inclined to think the rage for residing in France is almost over. , Ido not wonder at it. No inducement that 1 have yet met with, would cause me to change my abode. No doubt people can live bettei for the same sum of money here than in England; but, in the latter country', _you have every comfort, and in this country you have none. Beef and mutton are nearly as dear here as with you,' and vastly inferior in quality. House-rent is low ; but then the houses are bad, and such as in our native country we would not occupy. Last year there was not a house here to be got ; now, you can have a choice of them." ST.

RICHARDS. The concourse of persons that this morning assembled from all quartets in Dorsemonger4ane, Borough., and any situation that could command a view of the execution of Philip &Well and Charles Keppel, who, on Friday last, were condemned at Croydon for the foul murder of Mrs. Richards, at Clapham, was immense. As early as five O'clock crowds of persona were flocking in, and with very great dig iw culty indeed did th e Sheriff; Chaplain, and the officers, ge t n e a r the gaol, from the great an d close body of the asseinkled titude.—The fetal platform and gallows were erected on the roof of the prison. —After the condemnation of the wretched tide mite they were brought back to town in a post.chaise, and we are informed Keppel evinced very forcibly the extreme hartii. hood and ferocity of his disposition, and with reckless fury scoffed at the Rev. Gentleman who endeavoured to bring his mind to a religious view of his AWful situation. Tide coishict he repeated even whin in the mndemned cell, and only few hour* before he was hurled into eternity did a gleam of tiny thing like penitence for his crimes flash across his mind, and hie reflections seemed to be so awfully abhorrent, that lie, in the agony of the moment, vented the most impious impreca. tions; in fact, his whole demeanour was that of a callous Oitiee derer, who at the final moment seemed to feel some compunve, tions, but was unable to }tray; whatever his inward feelings might be, his penitence seemed only that of' e moment—, Stoffell, who with equal hardihood felt the full force of hid wretched situation, yet seemed desirous of making every atone• anent in hid power, and from appearances the wretched man' seemed to hope for mercy hereafter; his mind wee calMly beet upon prayer, and he ejaculated sentences of entreaty to Almighty' hod most incessantly, lie took leave of some member* at'li is roily on Sunday. Keppel also had an interview with his friends, and his filial parting appeared to work a Very Convidera ida. change In his manners. e —This morning, Teirtreva,l!:s.:‘ the Under Sheriff; arrived in the prison, and proceeded to 'a:: cell, where the Rev.
