Even the character for go®d sense and discrimination possessed by 111114JELLEs, could not, in Y the opinion of .theseatt person s , divest . the d e cl ara ti on o f b. senti ments of an a i r of rhodomontade ; , Ittstri events i are daily proving that this il tbnus Spaniard knew we ll h ow to est i mate . 4 _ e feelings and dispositions of his countrymen ; ( 1 that t h ere was much l ess of the hyperbolical ht hi s. energetic defiance of the power of France than was at first imagined. It is now well known that a general spirit of .enthu siam, in favour of the Constitution, has been kindled throughout Spain, and that great num bers of the adherents of the- Faith have already ranged themselves under the national standard, for the protection of their country from foreign vio lation. In our present paper, we insert the pro :dositions of the Royalist Governor of Mequinenza, offering to negociate with the Constitutionalists, and to submit to the Government proposals for " forming one family of all Spaniards of both parties," in order that their country may he pre served from the calamities attendant on the threatened invasion. We have received this morning. Bayonne and Dutch Papers, of which the following are ex- tracts : " BAYONNE, MARCH 20.—The Marshal Duke Ass , of Reggio arrived in this city yeSterday, to take the command of the Ist corps of the army. Mr. Sicard, the Intendant General, is also arrived. The movement of the troops continues, and all go to take up cantonments on the frontiers as they arrive; of the two battalions of infantry of the Guard, however, one has gone into cantone ments in the Bautieue of Bayonne, and the others, which is to do duty about the Duke of Angouleme, remains in the city. It is impos sible to form an idea of the immense quantities of provisions which are preparing, and of the large sums of money that are daily employed ; and yet it is with difficulty that forage is pro cured at Bayonne and in the environs. The want of this article is much more sensibly felt in the three provinces of Biscay, and it is impos sible that Navarre, though fertile, should long support 18 or 20,000 men, which there will be with this army. " We expect with impatience the two mails from Madrid, but we learn that they have been interrupted near Burgos by the band of Merino, and the contents burned. However, by one of the many couriers that have passed through, we have the following authentic accounts up to the 17th : " The last levy for the active army had already been made in the Capital, and besides that, a great number of young men had enlisted voluntarily. All the accounts from Andalusia, Estremadura, and La Manch, state, that they were eagarly imitating the Capital; and that if the Treasury had had the necessary funds, it would have been easy to raise the whole population in a mass. In the midst of this favourable dis position, we have learnt, however, that LTlman, who sepa rated from Bessieres at Manilla, had thrown himself into the Kingdom of Valencia, arrived, between the 4th and the 6th, at the Huerta of that City, after having repulsed, with' some loss, - the National Guard which had marched out to meet him, and even taking some prisoners, that the Valencians, thinking that the Royalist Chief would have ven tured to attack the city, had prepared for their defence, being resolved-to receive him; and that at the end, Inman, - with , 2,000 men, had retreated by Segorbe towards the position of Arragon, where he was closely pursued by the column of Bri gadier Torres, and by other troops from Valencia and Cu enca, and lastly by Empecinado, who had been detached with a column from Saragossa, so that it was hoped that within a few days ago the band would have the same fate as that of kape. The Political Chiefs of Vittoria, Bilbao, and St. Se bastian, have sent orders to the young people of the Constitu tional party to assemble in the capital; In Navarre every thing is pretty tranquil since the departure of the troops of Santos Ladron for St. Jean Pied de Port—Orders have been received at Tudela from Saragossa to form considerable magazines, especially of grain; and on the 12th lodings were prepared there for officers of all ranks, but hitherto no troops have made •their appearance, unless it be those necessary for the garrison of Pampeluna, which traverse Navarre in different directions, but do not perhaps amount to 4,000 men. [The Bayonne Papers also contain accounts from Madrid, respecting the preparations for the ixo's departure up to the 17th instant, which, however, have been wholly anticipated by previous arrivals.] FRANKFORT, MARCH 20.—The report of the capitulation of the Castle of Corinth is confirmed ; 3,500 men laid down their arms on the 12th of February, to be conveyed to Asia. The news of the reduction of Patoa, by the Greeks, appears to be premature. Accord ing to accounts given' by travellers who had arrived at Belgrade, Larissa was in the hands of the Turks on the 19th Feb. The Greeks, how ever, had possession of Zeitouni and Vole, and are advancing along the sea coast, all the dis tricts on that side declaring in their favour. The Greek partisan Diamanty was already ou the north of Larissa, and impeded the communica tion between that fortress and Solonichi. On the 6th of March a report was spread that La rissa had really surrendered, but this report re quires confirmation. , [FROM f t CORRESPONDENT.] STOCK EXCHANGE, Twelve *o'Clocic.—This day being Good Friday no business is doing in the Funds, and up to the above hour we do not_ hear of any Express having arrived from Paris.lt is supposed that a DeOiration of War on the part of the French Gover!iment will be issued before the French Army enters Spain, the language of which will throw the blame,.of the war on the Spanish Government, but at the same time hold forth, before the army matches on Madrid, that France - will stiillisten to.any Moderate.proposals on the Part of the Spanish:-:9overrirMidycon df sistent with the future w . elfir Zir Spain / antlithe g honour . and security of Fr ec)... - By this apan ceuvre, the French will en .. . 'vti'iur 'to pAve - to the World that they have triciti the last effort on their part to prevent the effuSion of blood. , But the character of the Spanish . cation is too well' known; they are proud of the Amnon!. of .their country, and they will not give np one article of their Constitution. . .;. The House of Commons adjourned last night until the 10th of April. Mr. CANNING again stated, that our Treaties with Foreign Powers only bound us to the exclusion of the family of BUONAPARTE from the throne of France, and not to the maintenance of any other particular Family on the throne of that Monarchy. Advices to the 2d ult. have been received from Rio de Janeiro. It was ascertained that the Portuguese troops at Monte Video had refused to embark for Europe, the squadron seat from Rio for that purpose having returned in the lat ter end of Jnnuary without effecting its object. The future political state of Monte Video was placed in much uncertainty. The Portuguese troops aimed at retaining possession of it for Portugal : General LECOIL had instructions, by sending off the European troops, to secure it for Brazil ; while the Government of Buenos Ayres, situated on the opposite bank of the Rio de la Plata, had formed the design of acquiring, if possible, this valuable territory. On the return of the squadron to Rio, an eml) argo was laid for a few days in that port, and a . tt:expedition, con sisting of two frigates, two*Oops, and three brigs of war, were subsequene# dispatched for 13ahia, as supposed, to co-operate Pith Gen. LABA TOUR.. An arrival has, however, also taken place from Maranharn,'brin,,ging a journal published on the 12th tilt., containing the following account of the defeat of LABATUtiIt by the Portuguese troops in Bahia : "IVARANIIAM., FEB. 11.—By a schoctlekarrived at this port from Pernambuco; we have received' y;' -nce from that province, and from Bahia, which can,ii;;hly,satis factory to the inhabitants of this city,' t.ifbe. sent by 4, Providence to dissipate the .impressiOu'pi7..iceti'Vthe disas trous events of Pillahuhy. " The Chief Labatour, successively defeated by the troops of Bahia, has been routed with very great loss to the dissidents. Gen. Madeira finally determined to attack the enemy without the defensive lines of the city, and victory constantly accomr panied the Constitutionalists. Labatour was put to flight, and it is not yet with certainty known whither he and the rest of the fugitives have gone ; but it is supposed that he is in Se rigipe. It appears certain, that Lieutenant-Colonel Cahiola is pursuing him, with orders to advance as far as the Alagoas, keeping ilie7tornintinication open between the city of Bahia and the interior."' - . - A letter in the same journal from Pernambuco, dated the 2(l'cif Tebruary, states, that the prin cipal defeat obcniTOd On the 26th of January. y 1 - THE KING.-(ikighton, March 26.) —His Royal Highness the Duke of CLARENCE took leave of his MAJESTY, and left the Palace, to return to. Bushy Park, between eleven and twelve o'clock this morning. Yesterday, at one o'clock, a Cabinet Council was held at the Foreign-office, Dow•ing-street. A ballot took place at the Bank yesterday, in pursuance of the requisition of Mr. G UNDIt Y and other Proprietors, on the question whether the half-yearly dividend should be 4 per cent., ac cording to the proposition of the 'Directors, or 5 per cent., according to the amendment moved at the last quarterly meeting. On the scrutiny, the numbers were found to be 244 for 4 per cent., and 161 for the greater dividend ; leaving a majority of 83 in favour of the proposition of the Directors. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, it. is said, is to have an Earldom of the United Kingdom, by the title of Earl of NTYNYX'an, with remainder to Lord GEORGE HENRY STEWART, his Lord ship's son by his present Lady., Yesterday morning Mr. CnolF.i4 ; M. P. left town for Brighton. His 'Glace the Lord Archbishop of CANTER.. G"R Y a Confirmation, yesterday, at St Mary le-Bow.; eheapside, for the City of London ; at which a' great number of young persons, of both sexes, were confirmed. Tenders are now lying off Deptford for the reception of entered seamen to sere on board ships for the coast protection. All aboVe the age of 37 are rejected. _ _ _ At the theatre of Marseilles 044,te 17th of this month, during. the representaitan of Paul and Virginia, on the Negroes announcing the ;arrival of the Governor, by the name of La.' bourdonnaye, and when the actor who repre sented that personage came on the stage, hisses, together with repeated cries, 44 We don't want that man."—" Collar him!" issued from every part of the theatre.--,(French Pqper.) General GUILLEMINOT, whose name has been mentioned iii connexion with the conspiracy in the French army, is not a Frenchman by birth, but a Belgian. From his youth up he has been inclined to revolutionary principles ; having taken part in the Belgian insurrection so early as 1790, and served in the French army down to the restoration of 1814, when he received particular honours and distinctions from the King"; notwith standing which, he took an active part in the re bellion of 1815, and was appointed Major-General of Fouche's army, in which capacity he signed the capitulation of Paris. He has ever since been known as a Liberal ; and it does *seem rather extraordinary that such a man shotild be selected for the important post of Major-General ufider the Duke d'Angouleme ! He is, 'however, one of the best,informed oMcers in France. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS. ':*Lady R.

On thy fair bosom, waveless stream ! . The dipping paddle echoes far, And flashes in the moonlight gleam, And bright reflects the polar star. The waves along the pebbly shore, As blows the north-wind, heave their foam, And curl around the dashing oar, As late the boatman hies him home. How sweet, at set of sun, to view, Thy golden mirror spreading wide, And see the mist of mantling blue, Float round the distant mountain's side. At midnight hour, as shines the moon, A sheet of silver spreads below, And swift she cuts, at highest noon, Light clouds, like wreaths of purest snow. On thy fair bosom, silver lake ! 0 ! could I ever sweep the oar, When early birds at morning wake, And evening tells us toil is o'er. UNIVERSITY. INTELLIGENCE.

Col Berkeley's Fox-hounds, on Monday, at DowdswellWood. The Berkeley Stag-hounds threw off on Saturday at Hilling don-heath, near Uxbridge, when a very whimsical occurence took place with the stag. After a burst of half an hour, the timid animal crossed the river, and returned to nearly the spotfrOm;Whente he started; when, finding himself hard pressed by the hounds, he leaped over the wall of a gentleman's garden, near' Hillingdon, and, seeing the dining-room window open, sprungintOthe elorn, where two Ladies were sitting at work. Their alirni was so great, that one of them fell into fits, and fears were entertained lest premature labour should have been the cOnsequence, the Lady being in the family way. The stag took his place under the sideboad, and was dislodged thence with:_exceedingly great difficulty. Lord Berkeley and one of his hrothers, Lord Clan william, the Hon. Douglas Kinnaird, My.

MISS PATON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN; Stn—lf the performance of the Marriage of Figaro had now ceased at Covent garden Theatre, it was the intention of Miss PATON, my daughter, to have passed unnoticed the allusions to her conduct in that concern, which have issued from the Press, under the confusing and muddling terms cfjealowieg, conten tions, differences, &c. But as the Piece is :drought forward again, it is thought advisable by her friends that a correct statement of the case should be published. Miss PATON was engaged expressly to perform the first characters only, in Miss STEPIIE Ns's place. When it was strongly suggested by her on that occasion that obstacles were likely to occur, she was assured that no one whosoever would be allowed to oppose or thwart her employment in the first line ; that even if the Managers were disposed to alter that arrangement, they could not accomplish it, for that a certain extent of voice was indispensible to their first singer, in order to do justice to Fide established Operas, and other unrestrained compoSitions which might be produced. After some time, the part of Susisnmen was assigned to Miss PATON, and announced in the bills ac cordj. ingly ; the Managers informed her that Miss TREE had refused to play the Countess. They requested that she would take thoSe parts alternately, that the piece might be brought forward, and the other Lady saved from the incurrence of a heavy pen ally. —To Which a rrangemen t' Mi ss P ATON assen t e d, i n this case only. She was afterwards informed by the .Managers that the same difficulties remained unless she conceded the Fart of Susannah .the first night. That they could not directly ask her to make this second concession, it being so much beyond what they had a right to expect. She,. however, assented : and there a transaction closed in which Miss PAT ores con duct shewed every thing the contrary of jealousy, contention, or any illiberal feeling whatsoever. To establish this point by a statement of unquestionable facts is the object of this commu nication for which I have to crave your indulgence and that of the public. I am, Sir, your obedient humble Servant, G. PATON., P.S. The abort arrangement was made. SMITHFIELD MARKET; Manen 28.

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.—Extract of a letter from the country ship Semarang, dated Macao, the 16th of July, 1822 In our passage from Bombay to China, through the Straits of Sincapore, we met with a very singular occur rence off the Carimans: the ship was taken in a whirlwind, which carried away all our masts above the lower masts' in an instant, without our feeling the least shock on deck, or the ship receiving other injury." Extract of a Letter from Boston.—" MATHEws has been greatly followed here. The averages of his houses exceed KEAN's, and if he was to continue for six nights more, we doubt not they would be- equally great. We understand ht leaves us very shortly to play three or four nights in your city, as he proceeds to Philadel phia. He positively returns to England on the Ist of May." • Mr. DOWTON, who • has been performing the round of his best characters at the Dublin Tiie.l - closed. his . engagement with his benefit o Saturday last. • Mr. DEAN makes his appearance on Easter Monday in, Richard 111. at the Dublin Theatre, where he . is to play every night during the:next fortnight.. Wednesday morning part of a small new . hovc, erecting with others in one of the fields near the Coburg Theatre, gave way, and three men, who were employed underneath, were dreadfully bruised by the timbers, bricks, and other build ing materials falling upon them. One of the men was so .seriously injured that it was found necessary to carry him for surgical assistance. ExEctrraw Or Join/ NEWTON.—After this unfortunate man had been conveyed from the place of trial to the gaol, on Saturday evening, he continued for many hours in a state of gnat agitation and Me.ntal distress. On Sunday he attended Divine Service in the Chapel of the pirison, where ho : conducted himself with propriety. On the more near approaeh of the hour of dissolution his feelings again became much' agitated. At about a quarter after twelve, on Monday, he was _ brought towards the scaffold, exclaim ing, as he passed along, " I have lost my life for three • shillings." • Having ascended the lodge of_ the gaol, where he passed.,a few „minutes in prayer with the Chaplain and some fellow-prisoners, he was conducted to the scaffold ; when, looking towards the immense multitude assembled, he exclaimed, in a very loud tone, several times, " John ,Bolton !" " John Bolton, of The Hem !" A voice appeared to answer from the ,citiVfd ; and the prisoner then, 'in the same tone as before, exclaimed, " John Edwards, are you come from Se- Vern Hall ? While on the scaffold he said to the crowd, " This is a •sad • death to die, my lads, for a young man like me; GOD bless you all."—" I would give all the world It had not happened." He exclaimed, two or three times, " Don't hang me."—" I hope, Gentlemen, you'll not hang me yet."—Occasionally he, ejaculated, " LORD have mercy on me !" Previous to being turned off'be put his shoes (which he wore slipperways) from his feet ; and wheat the drop fell he died instantly, andd apparently without a struggle. The un happy man occupied a farm of about one hundred andseventy acres, had been married about ten years, and has left 4 children. He told a Gentleman who visited Iliac he had be a very bad husband at all times ; that when he committlKl the fatal act, he struck and - kicked' Ins wife several times ; and 'that, but for the interposition of Providence, he should, under the in flitence of his .ungoverned feelings, at the same time have sacri ficed the life of the child who interposed its cries on the behalf of its Mother : this addition to his crimes was happily prevented by -the - poor, child -outrunning and escaping from him. The un happy criminal was a large and very muscular man.—( 45'cappia4 JOurnal. I• ,'r+., .sf N4art. , :~. iye of ,:c,"_,, loptn. FIFfl t J
