'INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN. „ Xtra wry, J I, 12.—Letters from Cadiz state that the Gitti muneros have separated froin.the Masons. The decree of the 2341 has still farther increased the exultation of the Revalu lionlste. A letter from Valencia Says, the soldiers of Ballasteros ar rive by troops of 100 and 150 ; they present themselves to the Royalist General, Sempere, to be admitted under the Royal standard. The accounts from Cadiz are to.the 13th. At that period the King, and the Rose Family were in good health. It js beliestai that Cadiz will not hold out during the remains der of this Month. Provisions are very dear, commerce is de: ertrerl, and the people begin to murmur. flier boats have stopped some boats laden with provisions, wiliers would have paused under the light-house of Cadiz:, not. withstanding the fire from our batteries. • A letter from Grenada of the 2tl states, that Generals Villa Camps, 'Zaps, Alontes, Balanzat, Placentia, &c., were in that city, with skeletons of reginientar they were ex hausting all their efforts in vain to organize an army. General Ballasteros appears to wish to traverse the Sierra de Rondo, in order to gain.Algesires, and to join the remnant of the troops of Zayas and Villa Camps. Ballasteros hart no more alien 2,000 inert, /Ayes 1,200, and Villa Camps 300. Another Revolutionary General has 500 men encamped atSt. Roque. A single French regiment would disperse all these liniments, and become masters of the whole coast from Gibraltar to St. Peter. According to a letter from Luella of the sth, Villa Camps, with 300 moll, Who compose his army, and Zara.; with 300 men and .201) horses, arrived on the 3:1 at A.nteqtrara, and took this direction of Weems, but the inhabitants, in number up wards of 5,000, ,having taken up antis, they dared not conti. one their march. • The next day 150 Royalist militia and 20 cavaliers from Castro del Rio, and 300 militia and 100 horse from Cordova,- entered Lucena ; the whole under the conduct of a Frencti officer, to the great satisfaction of the in habltattts.

Already, however, VA blithe', Caesuras, hilatitx, pro bably, at this moment, Saartield, and, lastly, the most cele brated amongst them, Morillo, have made their submission to the King; and we know not what has kept hack Gen. Zayas, and prevented him from following their example. 'SORIA, JULY' U.—Colonel Don Joseph Miralles has taken from the Revolutionists ,the head of his unfortunate father in tire most heroic menner.

[Front the Courier Prange:is of Friday.] VIEN*Not, JULY s.—The public are now informed of the conditions upon which the four banking houses of Baron de Rothschild, the'Count tie Flies, Gaimuller and Co., and Arn stein and Meles have taken the loan of 30,090,000 florins of Austria, or of 36,000,000 f., 24,000,000 on account of our Go vernment. The payments commence this month, and are to continue monthly till July, 1824. Each of the four houses takes 9,000,000 florins at 4, the nominal value of the metallics being taken at thecate 0182. ( From the Conalitalionnel.) PARIS, JULY 17.—The Journal tics Data: publishes with• out accompanying it with-any reflection, an order of the Corti. gedor of Madrid in these terms " Haying been informed that the -sellers of provisions and others . permit theinselves to sell 'to the French soldiery at a much higher Price than they. sell to Spaniards, which is con. trary to the respect due to our deliverets, I order as follows: " EVery shop.keeper who shall dare to overcharge a French soldier, shall be punished for the first offence by a fine of 20 ducats and the confiscation of his shop; in case of a second offence he shall be punished with the utmost rigour.' " Thus the Regency Of Madrid, which arrests the wives of militia-men, and has resorted alternately to hostages and con fiscations, -crowns its labours by the creation of a maximum.— The arbitrary system of the East alone has scarcely anything comparable to this act, if the system of 1723 did not furnish its prototype. flow can a ithop-keeper be convicted of overcharging, unless a price be fixed for his merchandize ? A buyer always thinks he is charged too much. The French, then, must denounce the shop-keepers who seem to charge them exorbitantly. Is it thought then, that their soldiers, full of honour, will turn vile inforniers ? The last it ^onvenience of such a measure, were it executed, would be to produce a real scarcity. What must we think of the confiscation of the shop far the first offence, and the utmost rigour for the second. When the shop of a shop— keeper is confiscated, it will be difficult for him to overchiirge a second time. After confiscation there is nothing but chain 4 or bastimuhiing at the least. It must be allowed that the counter-revolution is very revolutionary. Meanwhile, our fa natical journals are in ecstasies at the firmness of the Regency of Madrid, and our political journals keep silence for fear of compromising themselves. ROYAL COURT OF PARTS, JULY 17. Trial Of M. Koechlin, Deputy from the Upper Rhine, and Constant Chau tpie, Printer. M. Koechlin's offence is the publication of a pamphletole nouncing a plot got up in the department of the Upper Rhine, of which he is the Deputy, to draw some persons suspected by the Government into acts of rebellion ; with which view some squadrons of troops were made by . the public functionaries to pass through a part of Alsace, crying live l'Empereur ! Vive Caron I thus leading the peasantry to suppose that a revolt of the armed force had taken place in favour of Napoleon 11. These extraordinary facts were not invalidated, but the inferior Court sentenced M. Koechlin to fine and imprisonment for a libel, and he, as well as the printer, who was also implicated in the sentence, carried the case by appeal to the Royal Court of Paris. M. Barthe, the Advocate of M. Koechlin, pleaded his cause with great eloquence and boldness, and stated very strong ly the duty Imposed on M. Koechlin, as a Deputy for the part. of the country where this atrocious trick was played, to hold it up to public indignation.' ' The ADVOCATE-GENERAL, in answer to M. Barthe, launched into invectives against M. Koechlin, whom he ac cused of having a, fellow-feeling with seditious persons, and ac cused his advocate, M. Barthe, of having re-stated in his Me moire the Übe/Sous part of M. Koechlin's pamphlet, and he de mended nut only that the appeal should be dismissed, but that M. Barthe should be Suspended for six months from the exer use of his profession. The Court, after three hours deliberation, confirmed the original sentence as to M. Koechlin, and discharged the printer from all punishment, and sentenced M. Barthe, the advocate, to be suspended from., the exercise of his profession for one month. A great number of Deputies were present, and the warmest feeling in favour of M. Koechlin was evinced by the auditory. SVAT N. [From the Morning Chrottick.) COIWNNA, Jta.v We arrived here on the sth, where I, find Quiroga has been, and is still doing all In his power for the continuation of opera. tions against the enemy. This province has lost much by the non-arrival of the men from England, which they so confidently reckoned on, anti Morillo's disaffection. The.consequence has been natural enough, that many who were quite decided for the Constitution, now think themselves deserted, and begin to give the thing up ; but I do justice to many, who in spite of every despairing object that presents itself, are resolved to persevere. I had an opportunity not later than yesterday and the day before of seeing much of the, feelings of many classes. On the nth I was sent with dispatches to :llorillo at Lugo, and arrived at his head.. qitarters on the tt dt, at 5 in the morning,; he would not allow me to remain in the town, and though I requsted to see him, having something to communicate personally;! was refused, and obliged to leave the town with one of his Staff, who conducted me to Puente 'tabula, where they had an advance.d,post (and which I passed at four in the morning), as It lay in my way home again. I expected to be dismissed, but after some conversation' bettieen my conductor(whose behaviour I cannot say much.for as a Gentleman) and the officer commanding the ,out-post, !It was desired to dismount and remain till they, could get an an. seer from Murillo on a certain point, and which would require about three hours time. Kate I was treated in every respect ! as airisoncr, havitig a sentinel with a drawn bayonet over me; about two in the afternoon an order arrived‘to send away my post.horses and detain me till further orders (against every rule used to any one going with dispatches). About eleven at night an order cisme to-release me, the same officer bringing an answer for me to carry back to Corunna ; but I had then.no horse, and was obliged to wait till day-light, when I started off on foot to the first post-house, about aleague and a quarter, accompanied by a dragoon. While I was in Lugo, I observed the troops were ready to march, and learnt afterwards that they were preparing quarters in the town for the reception of the French ; that Morino meant to remain, and his troops were to go out to camp. The Spanish officer at the outpost told me the. French troops would amount to . 9,000 men, but from every information I could .collect by other means, they cannot have more than 5,000. They were to be in Lugo yesterday. General Ciimpillo is retiring from the Asttrias, and will join his forces (about 2,000 men) with those under Quiroga. Every thing is preparing, with haste here for a defence, and should the enemy besiege It, they will, I hope, hold out ; the principal authorities, civil and military, are determined to stand out till the last. Qutroga goes out of the Wirt tomorrow, to collect .all the -:troops lie lairt of every class, and form a moving column to 'harrass the enemy; we go with him. Morillo, I was told, does not mean to act against the enemy; there is a friendly understanding between them. I send you the Mario, giving two letters between Morino and Quiroga. CORUNNA, Jury 13: It is now settled that Sir Robert is not 'to leave this town during the expected siege. General Palarea and Colonel Cam are to.go on the expedition I mentioned. A. garrison of between 3 and 4,000 men to be here. Sir R. has the rank of Lieutenant-General as won as the fourth part of the nutnber the Legion proposed to contain is collected; therefore I hope we shall get 2,500 men from Eng. land ; they would save this country. The enemy are expected to be before the town to-morrow. There is no fear —ev e ry thi ng will go on well, notwithstanding 3lorillo is a rogue. A ship leaves this directly for England. The heights above the town are strengthened by field works, and will afford considerable time and good effect to the gar rison. For God's sale, say whatever you can to get men sent to us —recollect what depends now- oa 2,500 men. I *mild forfeit my life if the country is no .saved by it. The energy of the people would be roused. The factious decrease, and again by giving that command to an intelligent Foreigner the union of action among the Spaniards themselves will be more secure.— No paltry misjudgment or dread of failure would then exist; all woald look up to the - Width Legion for the brunt of trial, ' and while their duty would be only to aid by lighter exertion, hesitation of meeting the enemy would cease, and triumph must be the result. - I am not speaking for myself; I love the country, and am ready to sacrifice every thing, - my life to save it; and when I see her .truggle, depending only on the assistance of so few British soldiers, it is heart-breaking to find then; not furnished. The French cannot do much in the way of siege ; they have no battering train, and only bring eight field pieces with them. PROCLAMATION OF MORILLO. SoLDlnts—General Quiroga, whom we have treated with so much consideration, and who voluntarily made sue the most solemn promises to take no part in public affairs, has violated his word, and denies that be has disapproved of the illegal acts, in virtue of which" - the Cortes deprived the King of his Con stitutional poiver. Aided by a few imprudent men, be medi tates new revolutions, and seeks to deliver us up to the dis cretion of the French by dividing our forces. For this pur 'pose he has got possession of the command in Corunna, and without regarding . the national honour or respecting his oaths, and without keeping in view the interests of the people,. he at tempts to tear the bowels of his country by compromising the soldiers whom he for the time keeps under his • command, re solved to embark and leave theist to their fate, when the fo reigners have approached. Soldiers ! I know the indignation which so much _perfidy must produce in your minds, but pity its authors. We will ever follow the same course, and resolved to combat the French, if they do not accede to our propositions, we will be faithful to our oaths, and will leave no means untried to avert from our country the infinite evils which threaten it ; and those which have been produced by the men who having been always the enemies - of order, have brought the public affairs to the deplorable state in which they actually are. • (Signed) THE COUNT OF CARTIIAGENA. Head-quarters at Lugo, July 1, 1823. The Mare Coitatierttional of Corunna, of the Bth instant, contains the answer of!Quiroga to General Morillo's Letter to him of The 28th of June. It is in the shape of notes on various passages of the Letter : 1." My dear Quiroga—You have done a foolish thing in opposing yourself to the passage of an officer, who, by my orders, was carrying dispatches to the Authorities of Corunna, to whom I wished to communicate the events which had occur. red in this city on the 26th inst. ; and in permitting the persons who accompanied him to falsify facts, by painting my conduct as that of a traitor to my country." Answer.—No one would deem it strange that the Patriots who accompanied me blamed the conduct of General de Car thagena; but it so happened that only two foreign officers fol lowed me who were unacquainted with the Spanish tongue. 2. "Determined to make every sacrifice to repel foreign in vasion, and to defend the political Constitution of the Mo narchy." Answer.—lf General Morillo professed these principles, it must be owned that he possesses in a high degree the art of dissembling—as all his steps, all his precautions, and even his public and private conversations were directed to disorganize the army—to prevent its increase—and to combat and deaden the enthusiasm which was manifested for the defence of that sacred Code : when I shall get my hands on certain interesting papers that at this time are out. of my possession, I shall offer an irrefragable proof of this truth. .1. " I saw that it (the Political Constitution) was funda mentally attacked, and I could not sanction a proceeding that both the people and the army detested." Answer—The uniform and simultaneous declaration in fa vour of the good cause, throughout the whole extent of An cient Galicia and Asturias, without any combination or plan whatever, is a proof of the appreciation by the people and the army of the false and exaggerated accounts insidiously circu s lated by. the pretended Regency of Madrid and its agents, the only data on which the Count of Carthagena has founded so violent and absurd a resolution, or, in a word, the specious pretext of which lie availed himself to consummate the plan of iniquity, which he had long projected. 4. " You were witness of the opinion generally pronounced by the different parsons whom I assembled , in order to proceed on the surest grounds in so delicate a conjuncture." Aprilosz a — er A companyJu nta,of ciglireefinl chiefly c omposed the sedofpersons engaged in thedoor of his house, and threats to shoot every one who should oppose hilt determina tion, are not means for the examination of opinion, but for dictating laws at pleasure. O. " As for yourself, while you acceded to the principles which actuated them, but doubting the authority of the Jour. nal which had conveyed them, and of the particular views which con fi rmed the whole, you alone recognised the Regency conditionally." Answer—As it is maliciously wished to make mean accom plice of the horrible attempt of the Count de Carthagena; I am under the necessity of copying literally my expressions, anti I leave to the sound judgment of the Spanish people to decide, if from , theni .can be deduced a conformity with .the principles declared by that General On seeing the dismal and exagge rated. picture which he drew of our situation, I said " that if all the provinces gave way there should not be a drop of blood sited for my cause or for my particulars interests." 11. " Convinced of every thing, you determined to put your person in secnrity, and for this purpose asked assistance from me, which I liberally gave you, adding, that as the finances amounted only to 79,000 reels, I could not give you more than give you afterwards a greater suns 14.r00,m00 no,lybown I p p r r o o per mis t et to y. 1 ,, Answer—This is a new proof of what my opinion wea l be cause in case through weakness or infittuation the provinces should submit to the ostler of things, which the Count de Car thagena decided of his own proper authority, as I would never treat with despotism, I was thinking of departing to a foreign country, taking with•me my liberty, for which purpose I asked a payment ; gave me 40,000 reels, with the view, un doubtedly, of freeing himself from my presence; time use which , was afterwards made of this sum may be seen In the Supple ment of the Mario of the 4th of the present month. 7. " Wilt thou be a traitor to the pronlises thou voluntarily nuttiest to me at parting, with my demanding them from thee ?' A publish the promises which I made to the Count deCnitsrwtliager—erla, nowise contrary ; but on the contrary, in every respect conform to the course I have taken. 61. " And wilt, thou add to this stain on thy honour, that of' attacking mine, permitting die false accounts which those who accompany thee circulate respecting my conduct ?" Answer—He who fails so scandalously In his duty, and vio lates his oaths, he who sells the justest cause for which men combat, ought not to be astonished that he is called by his pro per name. 9. " I have formed such an opinion of' your honour, that 1 decide on relying on its promising myself that you will embrace this only resolution which I ask of you, acknowledging the error into which post have fallen." ' Answer—lt is long since I was convinced of the only course which remains for me, and, that is to die for the liberty of my country, fi ghting against its enemies. 10. " And you, who are besides a native of the beautiful Galicia. are surely determined to sacrifice your opinions and your lif e to free.it from the evils which threaten it.." Answer— My life, and even my opinions, aro of less import than th e goo d o f my co untry,, and I shall sacrifice willingly both to free it from the evils it suffers ; but the means to effect this are directly contrary from what the c9unt de Carthagena desires. 11. " It appears that the French have already invaded Astu rias, and that on the 24th of this month they were already in Oviedo." Answer—The Count de Carthagena is quite at home in this matter, and he could be certain of the,invasion of the province of Asturias, ass it was prepared by himself, he having' removed the obstacles iehich might have been opposed to it. 12. " Numerous forces arc assembling on Leon, and the invasion of °alias; May* be considered - as very near. In this state at . thh I had proposed to myself to resist the invasion vigorously.' ' Al Answer-4h° Count de Carthagena must consider the Spa.. surds very blind or stupid when - he endeavours to persuade them that he' h a d proposed to resist the invasion vigorously, when we saw him adopt every mea ns directly the reverse. What are we to think o f the veteran and war proof veteran corps, scat tered throughout th e w h o l e ex t e nt of Ualiels at the tame time that g the Vanguard was composed of corps of militia newly raised, without unifo rm , il l armed an d w ithout any instructions-what ever y 111. " AValtin for the happy moment when the King and , the nation should adopt that form of government which would be moat eap e di et e, Answer—. This is the same as refusing to acknowledge the national sovereig n ty, and destroying with a single stroke of the , " Itly friendship far you, pen, the whole Constitutional edifice. 14. and my gratitude, for that friendship which you have always s hewn towards me, make it a duty that I should not confine myself to mere advice ; but that I should offer yo u w h a tever is in my power for your per. country, and tonal safety." letwT security of my person is of little consequence, the Count de Carthagena secure to me the liberty of my 15. " Believe me, Quiroga, your impotent exertions will only produce popular commotions, and will oblige them to I will accede willingly to his desires. invoke the aid of the invading enemy to remedy their evils." Answer—Th e peo le are vefar from calling to their as sistance the unwelcome guest. who left ,such grievous memo rials be hind them ; but there is no want of perjured Generals, who by their conduct and precautions call them to ctinsum. mate the misery of their country, to bury its liberty, and place its Independence in dan g er. tiIUIROUA. SUN OFFICE, Two o'CLocx. Private letters from Paris, received this morn ing by Express, positively assert that two entire regiments, of the corps under General ZAYAS, have gone over to the French, and that General BOUIt3IONT has taken thirty pieces of artillery and a great quantity of baggage, &c. from the Constitutionalists. We are sorry to add, on information from another quarter, that the next accounts from Cadiz are expected to announce the liberation of the,KINo. The contents of the Paris Papers of Friday, and of the Private Correspondence from Spain, given in our preceding columns, are very interest. iug. Although Count GuiLLEstrxoT states in his bulletin that 44 the proposals of General Mo niLLo have been acceded to," yet it would ap. pear that the patriotic conduct of QuraoGA and of the Constitutional authorities, had placed Mo. RILL() in so embarrassing a situation, as to compel him to dirow himself unconditionally into the arms of the French. How else can the passage of the bulletin which' says that Monn.r.o " has only now to recognize the Regency" of Madrid, be ex plained ? How can the proposals of Monir.Lo be acceded to, if it be required of him that he shall perform some further act which he himself had not specified in his propositions ? And how can he be expected, but by the compulsion imposed upon hint by the necessities of his situation, to descend to the baseness of submitting to that very Regeqcy whose conduct. lie had stigmatized in his last proclamation ?—Still, the defection of this commander must have given a violent shock, to the Constitutional cause in Gallicia, but as the regular troops have all adhered to QUI* ROGA, and as the greatest exertion§ were making to resist the enemy, the mischief is gerhaps not irreparable.—We stated on. Saturday that Car dona had surrendered, and that General SAARS. FIELD had gone over to the French. These facts are confirmed; but we rejoice to find that not a single individual participated in SNARS.• FIELD'S defection, and that when he presented himself alone to the enemies of his country, his dress proved that lie had been obliged to employ a disguise in order to facilitate his escape. The garrison of Barcelona made another formidable sally on the 10th, with 2,000 men and four pieces of cannon, which appear, from the French official accounts, to have made two vigorous attacks on the enemy. The . Expresses from Paris have brought the price of _the French Funds Olf. 65c.—Spanish, 36+ to 37. Extract of R Letter from Alr. EDWARD ITUAIPDRIEN of the New Harmony, from London, dated Cadiz, 2d June. 44 About half-past ten last night a gang of robbers or pirates, about fifteen in number, well armed, came on board, and immediately forced the watch on deck down the forecastle, and se cured the hatch ; about six or seven of them rushed down into the cabin, called for a light, when three or four of them presented daggers and, other weapons to my breast, then demanded my money, and said they would kill me. I gave them about 11 or 121 1 chiefly sovereigns, when they made me a prisoner in my state room, and placed /an armed sentinel in the cabin; some of them then went into the hold, and plundered nearly the whole contents of five large cases of cotton yarn and two bags of Spanish wool, and took away a barometer ; they also plundered a quantity of the vessel's stores, took my watch, likewise the mate's, and most of my clothes and linen." Alerno.—The New Harmony arrived in the river the 15th inst. from Cadiz. Charleston Papers to the 22d June arrived this morning.—." By the schooner Fogy, arrived here yesterday from Ifavannah, we have Papers of that place to the 15th inst. The duly intelligence of interest we find in our Havannah Papers is the act of the General Junta of Yucatan, uniting that province with the Supreme Government of Mexico, under ctirtain conditions, agreed to iu the city of Merida ; on the 291 h of May last." — (Charleston Courier, June 21.) Our Readers will see, on comparing the Speech of the Commissioners on the Prorogation of Par liament, as given in the Parliamentary proceed ings in our present paper, that the report which we published on Saturday was correct.—The most gratifying part of the Speech is that in which the flourishing condition of the commerce and manufac tures of the country, and the gradual abatement of the difficulties of the Agriculturists are alluded to; and although his MAJESTY was not able to an nounce the termination of hostilities in Europe, it is at least consolatory to know, that his MAJErr continues to receive the strongest assurances of the friendly dispositions of Foreign Powers towards' this country. Bayonne Papers-to the 13th inst. have arrived, from which we make the following extracts :--- BAYONNE, JULY 12.—A Courier from Madrid, with letter" of the 7th says that news had been received that the King and Royal Family at CatliA were in good health. Works, it is said, have been commenced by the French at the Trocadero, for the purpose of attacking the Isle of Leon, where a serious action is reported to have taken place, in which the Spanish Royalists suffered much. Col. Negri, who is before Ciudad Rodrigo, reports that having summoned that fortress, the Go vernor replied he should do his duty, and the besiegers might do theirs ; he afterwards made a sally with a few men which led to no result.
