PAnta, APRIL 26. - ---The following official bulletin is published in the Moniteur and the Journal des Daggs : " ARMY OF THE EASTERN PYRENEES. 44 The fifth division of the fourth corps has ,entered Spain, and .advanced to the Junquera without meeting the enemy. A party, consisting of jOO infantry and some cavalry, appeared yes terday in this commune. Two hours afterwards it retired to Figueras. _ " The advanced guard took a position at Vera lada. The rest of the division established itself near the Junquera. A reconnoissance was pushed forward to the bridge of Camani. That post was not defended. The inhabitants of the neighbouring hamlets received the advan ced • guard with transport. " The conduct of the troops merits the highest praise. The inhabitants are treated with respect. Every thing is paid for in ready money. Our soldiers crossed the frontier with cries of Vive le Rot !"fhey burn with impatience to engage the enemy; " AIONCEY, Marshal, Duke de Cornegliano. " Boulon, April - - - [From the Journal tie Paris.] P A ItIS, APRlL2s.—Accorditig to a letter dated from the head-quarters of fluerta, three quarters of a league 'from PamPeluna, on the 16th April, the Comniandant of that place declared to the officer sent to summon him to surrender, that he was deterinined•wdefend it ; and on the 14th he began by tiring artillery from the ramparts, particularly at the troops otthe Faith, who were investing the town on the Spanish side. The siege was to commence without delay. AIT anima APRIL 21.—The Court of Vienna has received the disagreeable news that serious differences have broken out between the Government of Greece and the Commandants of the Imperial marine in the Archipelago, the latter not having wished to recognize the blockade of the Turkish ports in Morca and in Epirus. It is affirmed that several Austrian vessels, wishing to enter these ports, have already been captured by Greek vessels of war ; and that Austria, in consequence of the weakness of her marine, will be obliged to conform to the Decree of the Greek Senate, which declares the Otto- Irian ports in a state of blockade—a Decree which has al ready obtained more force since the approximation of the Eng lish to the llellenians. Al AD urn, APRIL 9.—Colonel 13azan caused the person who - broke the Constitutional stone with a hammer, at Castellon, to be shot at its foot. They are demolishing all the convent; in the environs of Va. leneia, as they might protect the enterprizes of the revolted amorg these convents are mentioned those of Belem, Jeru , velem, St. Monique, and Los Remedios. ' The Political. Chief and Military Commander of the Pro, v!nce of Murcia having lately gone round the towns and vii lager of Orihuela, Cox, 1.. a amnia, and Albatera, tp obtain in.- formation on the spot as to the spirit of the inhabitants of these countries, and the events which took place lately at Alb at e ra, alto caused to be shot at the foot of the Stone of the Con stititution, him who had overturned it. This expedition took place in presence of the different detachments of National Mi litia who escorted them: General Quiroga, Commandant-General of Galicia, had ad dressed, on the 22d March, a Proclamation to the inhabitants of the country, to cause them to return to order, for it appears that there had been a rising. 'rise Authorities were enjoined to cause it to be affixed to the gates of the Churches and. Hotels de-Ville, and to cause it to be solemnly published. It is said a conspiracy has been discovered at Montblanc, in • Catalonia.—Among the persons arrested, and conducted to Tar ragona, was the Vicar of the place..--The arms and ammunition found concealed in the Church were seized. There have been transported from the manu factories of Murcia 40011 quintals of powder into the citadel of Carthage:nu. The Insurgent Chief,'James Alphonse, who had spread tenor throughout. the kingdom of -Murcia, having availed himself of the amnesty, has sent away his band, and is now at Janata, where he leads a tranquil life. (Front the journal des Debats.) :PARIS . , Amt. 25.—Extract of a letter from headequarters, at Vittor i a, 21st April : " The conduct of our armria admirable. You ,know I served in all the late wars in Spain. You may judge if I am not in a continual ecstacy when I see the cows and sheep feeding peaceably by the side of our columns, and the fowls running between the legs of our soldiers. The gardens re. main untouched ; not a cabbage has been carried off; our bivouacs have respected the dry wooden inclosures, and even the bushes. " The Spaniards are such as we saw them in the last war : • for them tune is stationary, nothing is changed, not even the for tifications erected in divers stations ottahe road from Bayonne to Vittoria, and which served to shelter our parties front the at etacks oeGuerillae. They are no longer, it is true, ours; but they have been faithfully copied by ( (institutionalists, and this fact is not one of the least singular at the present period." ( From the ,Quoli,liruuu.) BAv 0w1 , 411, APRIL 22, in the Evening ..—A letter arrived this instant announces,that our advanced guard has entered Bur gos, amidst the acclamations of all the inhabitants. I informed vau that liallasteros had renounced defending the defiles of Salinas, and retired on Tudela. Letters of recent dates announce that General Molitor, who advanced with his Corps d'ArmFe, has forced Ballasteros tit evacuate Tudela also. Thus brilliant successes every where accompany our arms. I • send you respecting the alien of Logrono a detailed bulletin, of greater interest than has appeared in any journal. ,REPORT AS TO THE TAKINO or LOGRONO nv . TUE AD VANCED GUARD or TUE 4TII DIVISION or TUE FIRST CORPS. ‘• Monseigneur, " Marching front Vittoria on Logrono, the 17th, the first bra. gads of the advanced guard slept at Guadiera, and the second at Penocerda, and neighbouring villages; the 111th, early in the morning, reconnoissances were pushed to Logrono, which was supposed to be occupied by the enemy. Their return gave the certainty of it. "The advanced guard, commanded by Marechal-de-Camp Count de Vittre, put mtelf instantly in motion, and the second brigade followed it as closely as possible. " Arrived in front of Logrono, a flag of truce, M. Imbert, Captain of the Ordnance of M. de Vittre, was sent and re ceived with musketry ; the movement of attack was almost in stettly ordered, and executed by the head of the column formed by the first corps of Voltigeurs of the 20th of the line, and the first squadron of the Chasseurs of Derdogne, commanded by M. Dime de Chabannes, and supported by the rest of the brigade. The town of Logrono was occupied by nearly from oto 700 infantry and 250 cavalry. The enemy had barricaded the double gates of the bridge of the Ebro, and seemed to wish to defend it. Not being able to pass the river by fording, it was necessary to cary this post by force. As there was no time to lose, the assault wits given at a running pace by the first corn pany of Voltizeurs of the 29th, supported by the remainder of the battalion; they drove in the first gate, took posses. stun of the bridge, and took also the second with the greatest bravery. The drummer, Matran, having passed over the wall, opened this last, continuing all the time to beat the charge. The bridge being forced, General Vitre ordered the Oaf d'eseadron of Masseurs to pass in the intervals of infantry, and to pursue vigorously the enemy with his squadron, causing himself to be supported by two squadrons of Husata of the Lower Rhine, commanded by Col. de Muller. • " The enemy made in the Own, and during a !ewe, a beau tiful retreat, defending all the positions. The enemy took the direction of Villa Medecina, where were two detachments of nearly 150 to 200 men of Bourbon and :he Queen. At length, after having passed the bridge of Mandrez on the Fugue, and having reached the Villa Medicina by very ro c k y roads, a charge a fond was ordered and executed with the greatest suc cess. The enemy stood a moment; but by the bravery of colonel tie Mullet, who precipitated himself, with cries of Viva!:' Roi ! into the ranks, at the bead of his Hussars; of M do Chabannes ' with the Clitisseurs and Lancers on the right ; of Captain de ?Alerville, of the Chasseurs; of Captain Jouffroy, of the linssars, whose squadron first began the charge, the enemy was overthrown, routed every where, and pursued to the village of Milla Fuchs, two leagues from Logrono, at the foot of the mountains. " The results of this brilliant affair for my advanced guard, which was not even entirety engaged, are the taking of General Don Julian Sanchez, 6 officers, 158 sub-officers and soldiers, a caseoon of artillery, front 200 to 300 fusils, some thirty men killed, left on the field of battle, among whom were several of -beers, two of them Lieutenant-Colonels. The remainder owed their -Safety flight and the mountains. It appears that the capture of the famous General Julian Sanchez greatly afflicts the Constituttonalista ; he came to Logrono only the evening be fore, sent thither, as was said, by Gen. liallasteros. " It is impossible to praise too much the bravery of -the troops engaged, and to appreciate too highly the impatience of those who were not called to combat. " The Report; after recommending a number of officers, goes on to state, I Nave not to report a single man killed, but a superior officer, two other officers a Hussar and a Chasseur I were wounded. " am, &c. " The Lieutenant-General commanding the 4th Division, (Signed) , " Viscount °BERT."' PARIS, A i'ni ;25.--Ballasteros s far from being, at the head of 15,000 men as was believed, is hardly followed by 3,000, the half of which are Militia. The corps of the Royalist Generals Bessierea, Merino, Cursta, and Isidoro, have effected their junction. They oc. copy with their united forces the roads to Madrid by Segovia and Samosterio. 1 From the Courier Francais.) The ltioniteur has: announced the capture of the Spanish vessel by the Jean Bart, as follows i— " A letter from Havre, of the 22d April, announces - the ar rival in that port' of 'news from Martinique, stating that on the 12th March, the vessel Jean Bart entered Fort Royal with a gallon (letter of marque) which in the night had taken it for a merchant ship, hatisannonaded it, and when day came, find ing itself too near was constrained to bring to, after having too late discovered its error." By means of this version, every thing has changed faces. We are no longer the aggressora ; we on the contrary have a legitimate defence ; . it is not a merchant vessel we took, but a pirate which we forced to surrender. It is true that the term letter of marque is not genendly admitted as synonimous with cation, and that the mistake of a ship's supposing a man of war a merchant vessel, is rather rare ; but with that exception, the ar ticle in the .Illettiteur explains in a satisfactory manner every thing strange in the account of some other Journals, which impute to our Marine, acts which other nations have always blamed in the English Navy. ( From 11w Constilationnel.) MADRID, Minix. 9. OFFICIAL. NEWS—FIRST DISTRICT OF OPERA TIONS-11EAD-QUARTEIts—OItDER OE THE 20TH OF MARCH, 1023, AT FIGUEHES. " The army will be henceforth arranged in fouf divisions : " First division, composed of the second battalion of Apica, the first battalion of Zamora, the regiment of infantry of the line of Murcia, the Militia of Murcia, the light battalion of liarbastro,—under the command of Field-Marshal D.

" The Commanders of the three first divisions will continue to be charged conformably to the 7th article under the 3d head of the 7th Ordinances of the army, with the post which was al lotted them by the general Ordinance of the 25th of last Sep tember. The Commander of the fourth division will be charg ed in the same manner with the province of bends. "The General-in-Chief of the Staff; ZORRAQUIN." The superior authorities, both political and municipal, of Catalonia have transported by sea into other provinces, some persons who had been put on their trial, but whose case had nut been decided, charged with having taken . part in the dis orders of Catalonia. Independently of their presence being useless in a place put in a sate of war, and. exposed to the first attacks of the enemy, their remaining there might be fatal to the Constitutionalists or themselves. About 67 individuals were embarked on the 25th of March on board the brigantine Jason.--( Universal.) General Murillo, commander of the corps which is now orga• sizing in Galicia, has taken with hint a corps formed of ser jeants, corporals, and privates of the ex-royal guard, detained at Madrid in consequence of the events of the 7th of July. They express the greatest ardour to repel the foreign invasion. If in dulgence is ahewn to those who repent, inflexible justice will overtake such as continue in the ranks of the insurgents ; on the sth of April, the inhabitants of Madrid having recognized a corporal of the itx.oyal guard in the midst of a detachment of 99 insurgents who were made prisoner:4 with their Chiefs, be was ordered out of the ranks to be delivered up to justice with the other leaders of time band. The brave Neapolitan Colonel Pisa, Aide-de-Camp to Gen. Pepe, and who on all occasions, but especially on the 7th of July, has been among the first to rally the Constitutionalists in defence of liberty, has solicited to obtain the favour of enroll. ing himself as a private soldier in the squadron of cavalry of Almanza, and to serve at his own expense. Many other Ita lians, among whom are named Captain Don Manmeto Ro mani, Captain Don Constantine Vicere, Don Antonio Benda, Advocate of Lombardy, and Don Jacob Querini, student in Mathematics, at the University of Pada, have joined the Chief of Battalion Ayiner. "We doubt not," says the Universal, which give; this news, " the new corps will rival that which has been so honourably distinguished in Catalonia; and which at present consists of 600 infantry and 100 lancers, with the ancient uniform of the Polish lancers. The Captain Pachia retti commands the infantry. The Count Bianco, of Turin, commands the lancers." • We read the following article in the Universal, which every one knows is the Ministerial Journal : " In vain philosophers weary themselves to demonstrate that policy should be nothing else than a moral power applied to the happiness of nations. Policy will be still, unfortunately for a long time, the art of deceiving and of enslaving men. The most skilful diplomatist is he that knows best to dissemble what he thinks; and the ablest cabinet is that which best understands how to disguise its real intentions. " It cannot be denied that in this respect the English Cabi net has not always passed for the first of the Cabinets of Eu rope ; and thence it happens that its conduct gives now so vast a field to opposing hopes and contradictory calculations. Al though it should attempt disguise, however, it could not con ceal its designs from those who are aware that that Government act oftener according to the councils of personal interest, than in conformity with the suggestions of party. " But why does the English Cabinet at present confide diplo. matic missions of the greatest importance to persons whose opinions ace not conformable to those which ought to prevail in that Cabinet ? We beard this question put the day on which Lord Somerset abruptly left this capital, after having received a courier extraordinary, who left London March 19th, and Paris the 2'2d. " Lord Someiset, it was answered, is in effect one of the most decided partisans of the policy of Lord Castlereagh, of which Mr. Peel is the heir; but let us call to mind the epoch at which this nobleman arrived at Spain, and that at which he arrived at Madrid daring his sojourn, and we shall be able to discover at once the motive of his arrival and his return. " On the other side, it is well known that the English Go vernment has always in foreign countries accredited agents, demi-confidential agents, and secret and confidential agents charged with observing the conduct of the first. " The tendency of the policy of Mr. Canning is already very plain, but it will be completely developed on the commence ment of hostilities agstinst Spain, us that is the moment fixed by the English Minister to send out Lord Rentinck. This veteran champion of liberty will appreciate our nation better than his predecessor ; he will be able to convince his Government that we have strength and means to support the struggle. " The sagacity of our readers, continues the Journal, will dissipate the obscurity -which at first sight, they may find in this answer, which we publish with the view of preventing new political intrigues, which may be already designed on account of the present appear a nce of the policy of the English Cabinet." A private letter which we received front Madrid, an nounces that the liberal Spaniards, who already distrusted Sir W. A'Court, iii consequence of the game which he played at Naples, are still more • estranged front him since the discovery of the intrigue of Bertram De Lis, to which it is sup posed that this Minister and Lord Fitzroy Somersat were not strangers. " SWITZERLAND. " Lansawxi:, Aram 111.—The unexpected halt of the Austrian troops in Lombardy, allows us to think a great acti vity reigns in the Bureaus of the Federal Military Commission. The Officers of the Staff' come and go. Our Representative Council has been assembled these three days, and has named a Committee, which is charged to arrange with the Council of State what is necessary to be done in the present circumstances. The usual forms have been dispensed with for greater expedi tion. The Committee has already met twice. The Council of State holds continual Sittings, and at all hours. What is the meaning of this ? What is in contemplatlpn ? What is de• mantled of the Swiss ? No one knows. A titousaid contra dictory rumours circulate on this subject. Mention is made of Eprojects disclosed to the Federal Directory by a Minister of ngland, at I know not what Court. It is said that the Great Councils of 'Vend and Friburg have been assembled like our own. _ _ ''ifowever people chuse to flatter themselves that the pre. sense of Austrian troops near our southern frontiers will be mo. mentary, yet the Canton of Tessin has conceived an alarm which its geographical position naturally explains, but which until now did not appear to have any foundation. Since the passage ' through Switzerland had been opened to strangers in 1813 and 1815 the storm cannot growl around us,' but our imagination represents it to us as ready to fall on our heads. " In this Canton, ,and in that of Geneva, measures of the greatest rigour have been adopted against the Italian refugees, Who, not finding themselves in any list of proscription, and who, .not having been individually recalled by their governments, had. up to this moment obtained an asylum in Switzerland. The Greek emigrants have also been sent away, without knowing where to turn their steps, seeing the measures put in force, in reference to them, in all the neighbouring States. Many of ' those unfortunate persona are literally at the eve of dying of wretchedness.. Benevolence will be soon restrained to barren wishes in their favour, for the hint of a subscription would be regarded as a conspiracy, and compassion would be looked upon as an attempt against good order." PARIS PAPERS OF THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. ( Front the Journal de Paris.) PAM'S, APRIL 25.--We hasten to lay before our readers the following notice published at Bordeaux, which gives, at length, correct infor mation respecting the embargo which was laid on Spanish vessels in several ports. ROYAL NAVY. " The Journals of Bordeaux of this day have spoken of the embargo laid on Spanish vessels in the ports of France; this measure took place for a few days only, and was dictated by re gard to the interest of the French army, that its movements might not be known in Spain ; but his Excellency the Minister of the Marine has ordered, by a dispatch of the 14th of April, this embargo be taken off, and the same protection to be given to Spanish merchantmen as to French. The King considers none as enemies of France, but the Spanish pirates and privateers : they alone are objects of the turveillance of the vessels commanded by officers of his Ma jesty's navy. " The ship news of the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th, of this mouth, from SL Jean' de Luz, to the Sables d'Oleron, prove that there is not a single Spanish cruiser in the Gulf of Gas ! gony, and that the navigation of it is perfectly secure. " The Commissary-General of the Navy, • " Bordeaux, April 20. - " AUG. BERGEVIN." (From the Journal der Ddbatr.l of th A letter from Limoux (says the JournL or ie Upper t. ronne), dated the 17th of April, gives the following statement:— " A conspiracy, planned by the Spanish revolutionists, has been discovered at Perpignan and at Limoux. A commis sioner bearing dispatches from Mina has just been arrested, and another individual of our town, accused of having distri buted proclamations, has fled. A part of the department was to be excited to insurrection by the conspirators; but the whole has completely failed, thanks to the activity of the police of Perpignan and of M. de Maintenon, the King's Attorney in the Civil Tribunal of Limoux.—Count Amarante, who was said to have been killed, having learned in the province of Traz-os.Montes, in Portugal, that the French army had crossed the Bidassoa, has made a proposal to the Duke of Angottleme to enter on his side into Spain, or to advance with 2000 infan try and 000 cavalry towards Astorga. The Duke of Angou leme has returned his thanks to Count Amarante, but has not accepted the offer of his services, because France is not at war with Portugal." CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. In the Sitting of the 22d, M. de Frenilly brought forward his plan for the internal regulation (regiment) of the Chamber ; but there not being a sufficient number of Members present, after the project was read, the Chamber broke up at six. In the Sitting of the 23d, M. Laisne de Villeveque spoke et some length against the project, as highly arbitrary., and he objected to the bringing forward such a measure at the close of the Session. M. de la Bourdonnaye likewise advised to defer the consideration of the project to the next Session. M. Hyde de Neuville was of the same opinion as M. tie la liourdonnaye ; there were two articles, besides, which he could not approve— one was, that by which the Chamber was declared competent to annul the election of a deputy, without the concurrence of the other branch of the Legislature. The second article, which the Hon. Member thought inadmissable, was that which authorised the Chamber to send a deputy to prison ; at least, it was con trary to French manners. England, he said, was quoted its a precedent, but many things were required in the English Parliament which would not be national in France. A Member of the British Parliament may be compelled to ask pardon even on his knees.—" I do not condemn (said he) the usages of other people; but, Gentlemen, I ask you, would such regula tions be French ? " Let us not then, Gentlemen, seek among the English, whom we esteem on so many other accounts, all our models t tbr there pass many things in England, which arc not at all conformable to our manners ; and since an opportunity pre. &mu itself, Lam happy to say in this Tribune, that you, (len ' tlemen, would never suffer a Member of this Assembly to have recourse to calumny, to the grossest insult, to lavish them on a neighbouring nation, as has lately been done in another place. —(Many voices—Bravo, bravo !)—No, Gentlemen, you would not suffer it ~ that never was, and never will be French.-- (Bravo!)" —The question of adjournment having been previ ously put and rejected, the question of taking the proposal into consideration was put, and also rejected. The Chamber then passed the law, restoring the Isle of Per. recite to the city of Lyons. The next subject of debate was the project of law for levying the young men of the class of 1023. M. Laisne de Villeveque made a very long and vehement speech against this project.— " Allowing that some monarchical modification* in the consti. tution of Spain were desirable, he deprecated the principle of armed intervention, as pregnant with the most dangerous con sequences for as many different forms of government prevail in the world, if nations were to take offence at those various forms, we must expect endless wars, till all nations were go verned by the same forms; and if such a right were admitted, the ocean might be an insufficient barrier to the American Re public ; and haughty England might be summoned to the tri bunal of the rulers of Europe." He proceeded : " The famous Bill of Rights is already under an anathema. pompously proclaimed by the Holy Alliance proscribes ci ev ie even her Magna Charm and the Charter of Forests, extorted from the impotent tyranny at' t, who was con. quered by his Barons. Already, in fact, ate raises her for. midable trident, which has more than once shaken the world. Her pride has already pronounced, in her Parliament, those threats . which are the forerunners of political storms. What do I say ? Her war cry has already resounded- 4 Civil and Reli gious Liberty for all Nations " The ardent policy of an enlightened Minister eagerly seizes on the glorious part which seemed reserved for France, happy and free under the regis of legitimate Monarch _that of rank ing at the head of Constitutional Governments." The Orator drew at great length a gloomipicture of the pro. bable consequences of this war, the uncertainty of success, the dangers to which young troops, however brave, will be exposed in a country where the veteran troops of Napoleon found only their graves. He painted the effects it would produce on the internal prosperity of France; some enormous additions to taxes, already Insupportable, would be required to maintain, perhaps for years, 100,000 men in the Peninsula to' support Ferdinand in the absolute power which it was intended to restore to him. Whereas, "if Ferdinand would sincerely proclaim true liberty in Spain—if he would, with the advice of wise councillors, consecrate in a charter the true principles of rational freedom, he would at once extinguish the flame of civil war." M. de Seamaisons spoke in favour of the project, and M. Duvergier de Hattranne against it. This Gentleman greatly regretted that the mediation of England had been twice re. jected. It was ultimately passed by a majority of 25d votes to 9. FLANDERS MAIL AND DUTCH PAPERS. Ulu"'Ls, APRIL 24.—1 n order to manifest the strict neu trality which will be observed by the Netherlands during the hostilities between France and Spain, a Roy al Decree, of the 21st of this month, orders, " that no fitting out of privateers, under the French Or the Spanish flag , shall take place in the ports of this kingdom, or of its colonies ; that neither the cruisers of the belligerent powers, nor the vessels captured by them, shall be admitted into the said ports ; and that in case they should be obliged to put into them, to repair any damages they shall be obliged to put to sea again without loss of time." --(From the Official Journal.) Accounts from Rotterdam, of the 20th of April, say, that Lieutenant M. Schedins,. of his Majesty's Navy, has set out for the Medit erranean , with important dispatches, which he is to deliver to R ear -Admiral It itysch, who commands the squadron of the Netherlands in that sea. 'BREMEN, APRIL 15.—M. Frank, Charge. d'Affaires of the Hanseatic citities at Madrid, has received an official communi cation in writing from M. San Miguel, stating that the rences between Spain and some European powers will have no influeneeon the commercial relations between Spain and those cities, whose flag will be repectedin all the ports of Spain. Letters from flamburgh say, that news had been received there from Cronstadt, stating that the Russian fleet in that port was arming with great dilig-ence. On the other hand, English men who have arrived in that city affirm that an English fleet was coming to cruize in the Baltic,while Denmark is said to be arming ships of war to defend the Sound. COPENHAGEN, Arum Is.—The East India Company has just received certain information that there was no loss of DA. nish property, in the dreadful fire at Canton, on the Ist and 2d of November. We have had great storms on our coasts, and expect dis astrous accounts from sea. ST. PETERSBITRO-11, APRIL I.—The Emperor returned here yesterday, the accumulation of ice on the Airolga having hindered him from visiting General Areklocliejew, as he in tended. There were in this City 102 eating houses of the description, called at Paris restaurateurs. The Police has successively had 152 closed since the Ist of March. By superior authority a Lancasterian School has been opened here for the instruction of 200 poor children. Arum 17.—Letters from Trieste say—" Ac cording to accounts from the Morea, the garrison of Cori nth is embarked for Asia Minor. The capitulation was executed by the Greeks with great punctuality, as the Turks themselves confess. "The expedition of the Greeks against Macedonia is ac tively preparing. Several of their corps have already passed the Thermopyhe and penetrated into Thessaly; a numerous corps from the Morea has followed, which will be succeeded by others as soon as the whole Peloponnesus is evacuated by the Turks. The Greek Government has appointed Prince Mauro cordato to the chief command of the expedition. Colocotroni remains to protect the Morea. The latest accounts say, that Maurocordato was still engaged with the troops of Omer Vrinne at Joannina, which he was putting in the best state of defence. Maurocordato intended to leave the siege of that place to the Albanian chiefs, and to advance with Bozzaris and the other leaders to Thessaly by the road from Joannina to Larissa. The Turkish army was retreating to Macedonia. " At St. Catherine, an expedition to Cassandra was prepar ing, where troops from Hydra were also expected to advance with their united force against Salonichi." Letters from Odessa, of the, 29th March, say, that by account s from Constantinople of the 20th March, it was stated that the Reis Effendi, since delivering the note for Count Nesselrode, had presented a second to the Austrian Internuncio, in which the old demand respecting the Asiatic fortresses is renewed. Thus the Turks seem to persist in the old system, and they have chosen a good rime when the Cabinets arc so engaged with the affairs of Spain. At St. Petersburgh, however, the Spanish revolution is considered as being at its last gasp, and a great personage is reported to have said, " It is not a war, but an expedition of (lens d'Armes."—(Allgenzeine Zeitung.) VIENNA, A PRIL 15.—Metalliques,110i ; Bank Shares, 8901. —(Austrian Observer.) • SPAIN. We have received Madrid papers to the lOtli inst., and can find in them nothing which might afford a pretext for those gloomy pictures of the state of the Spanish capital which have lately appeared hi the French journals. There is no allusion to any agitation or disturbance. The latest accounts from the King leave him at Car dova.—The following official publication on the subject appears in the . Universal of the 7th : " Their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses arrived to day in this city, without any alteration in the state of their health— The political chief, the provincial deputation, the constitutional ayuntarniento, and other authorities, went forth to receive and compliment their Majesties and their Royal High nesses, who entered at noon amidst an immense multitude, who shouted repeated acclamations to the constitution and the con stitutional King. " Signed by the Secretary of the Home Department. " Cordova, 4." Nothing more is said respecting his Majesty's progress, and he had only to travel seventy-five miles farther to terminate his journey. A number of foreign corps are forming in different parts of the Peninsula. A corps of French refugees, under the command of Colonel Aymar, marched from Madrid on the 7th, to join the army, after parading the streets with the tri-coloured flag, and singing patriotic songs. A considerable corps which was raised at Ililboa is commanded by an officer who was an aide-de-camp of Marshal Net. The strength of this co lumn is said to have been greatly increased by desertions from the French anny. A number of Italians have also offered their services against the invaders of Spain. The troops in pursuit of the factious parties appear to have been every where success ful, and the papers contain several dispatches detailing the de feat and dispersion of those marauders. Many prisoners have been brought into Madrid. The accounts from Valencia con firm the total defeat of the rebels commanded by Sempere. An anecdote is related which exemplifies the nature of the seduc tion employed by the priests to persuade the ignorant peasants' that in taking up arms against the Constitution they are fight ing in defence of the Catholic religion. On the first approach of the factious:to the city, one being taken and brought in fell upon his knees, and exclaimed—" Do spare my life, and I will turn a Jew also." Colonel Don Antonio Bann, who gained the important victory over Sempere on the 2d, marched on the sth against Murviedro;' with 1,100 infantry and 300 cavalry, and 4 pieces of artillery.

BAYONNE, APRIL 19.—Some soldiers, wounded in the af fair at Guetaria, have arrived here, and are now in the hospital : two of them had the Legion of honour bestowed upon them in the field of battle. The French Consul, who had left llilboa, has returned to that town. A traveller, who has arrived from Spain, speaks of the good arrangements that are every where making in the interior.. The Constitutionalists are preparing, not to attack the troops of the Army of Occupation, but to harass them ; and it is said they will not attempt any thing till the line of operation is become much more extended,' and till the corps of the army are near Madrid. By that time the hot season will have set in, which will be very favourable to the Patriots. The Mail from Madrid, which has just arrived, brings.letters to a date when the final arrangements made to enter Spain could not be known in the capital. We learn that it was in tsanteni:. plation not only to organize a more numerous militia, but also to make a levy en masse of all that are able to bear arms. The King and Queen are said to be in good health. His Majesty seems much displeased at the hostile conduct of France.— The duties of Customs have been replaced on the anekht footing in all those ports of' Spain that are occupied by the French army. SIR ROBERT WILSON. The following is the Address of Sir ROTIERT WILSON to his Constituents, on quitting Eng land " TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK " Gentlemen,—ln all the intercourse I have held with you, I have invariably found you animated, not merely by a love of freedom, but disposed to adopt the most enlarged and enlight. coed views of its relations with the general state of the world. It would be an insult, then, to your understandings and your feelings, if I were to express a doubt of the concern you take in the cause of Spain, not only as the issue May affect the brave people of that country, but the liberties and interests of your own. " The battle, for the right of nations to change or int . /neve their Governments, is commenced on the Spanish soil. " Circumstances ' have authorized me to presume my presence in that field may be welcome to the defenders of those rights. I go, then—not to gratify any personal (which, in the actual state of things, would be an inglorious) ambition—l go, not to mingle with civil dissensions, in which it would not become any foreigner to engage, except he could act the part of a paci. ficator—but I attach myself to the fortunes of Spain in the hose of her pressure and peril, prepared to share in her toils ; and trust I may prove as emulous as any of her defenders to par ticipate in her dangers. " In taking this step, I am making many painful and err barrassing domestic sacrifices, but I trust I am not subjec myself of an censure. I may act in opposition to the temporary policy adopted by the government, but I urn sure. I do not deceive myself when I say, that I shall be the re presentative of the feelings and wishes of my constituents and countrymen. t° Under the uncertainty of the duration of my absence, have not taken any step to restore the trust confided in me, al I have been influenced to forbear from other considerations than those of a personal nature. lat one time entertained great scruples on account of any detriment which might arise to the local inturcsts of Southwark, in the House of Commons from my absence, but they have been removed by the friend ship of Mr. Lambton, who has offered his services whenever they can be considered useful, and 1 feel confident that his zeal and activity will prove to you that I have sufficiently provided for the due execution of that portion of my Parliamentary trust; I do, however, submit myself entirely to your direction, and you have only to communicate your wishes to be obeyed by one who will ever remember with pride, affection, and grati tude, your patriotism, kindness, and confidence. " With the sincerest regard, believe me, Gentlemen, " Your faithful and obedient Servant, • " R. T. WILSON. " Regent-street, April 22, 1823." PARLIAUENTARY PROCEEDINGS. 110CSE OF COMMONS.
