THE SUN. SOLEM GUIS DICER); FALSIIIII AET,DEAr LONDON, "TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1826. SUN-OFFICE, Two o'clock. Advices have been received from Seville, which not only confirm the fact of the KING'S departure for Cadiz, but also, we are sorry to state, add, that his removal was very much against the inclinations of His Catholic MA JESTY, and thr,t it was even found neces sary to employ some degree of force, on ac count Of the KING'S resistance. No opposition whatever was offered to the departure of the Government, by the population of Seville.— Still, we must regret that it was found neces sary to constrain the KING to undertake the journey, as that circumstance, by proving that le is really in a ' state of duresse, can scarcely fail to weaken the Constitutional cause, whilst it will increase the confidence of the French, and will increase the numbers and pro bably- rouse the indignation and courage of the loyalists. We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday and have given extracts from then) under the usual head. The Constitutionncl, in remarking on the inten tion of the French forces to push forward for Cadiz, immediately after their arrival at Seville, ridicules the idea of investing, with only twelve thousand men, a city which an• army of a hun dred thousand filen could scarcely blockade by land, and the difficulty of shutting up which is still greater, from the sea. In fact, if the KING and the Cortes reach Cadiz in safety, and if the Cortes continue to evince the same inflexible resolution not to yield to foreign dictation, it is difficult to conceive how the war is to be brought to a con cleiion. We have all along expressed our belief that the continued occupation of the country by the French cannot fail eventually to exasperate the ; people, and to array the whole population against them. l f this an ticipation be well-founded, it is-only necessary that Cadiz should hold out, and that the Constitutionalists should have firmness and patience, in order to insure the destruction of the.invaders. It is remarkable that. even yet the French do not pretend that they have been joined by any considerable number of Spaniards. On the contrary, it is well known that the ranks of the Faith have been thinned by . desertions • and it is but the other day that it was acknow ledged that the Royalists of Navarre had re volted in a body against the authority of their Viceroy. In these facts,---in the continued fide lity and successful resistance of the . garrisons of the fortresses, —in the. enterprising courage and skill of MINA, who continues to defy all the efforts of his opponents in Catalonia,—in the cha racter of the Spanish people and in the nature of their country—and — in the now disunited and weakened state of the French army, extended as it is over so great a surface—we still discern grounds of hope that Spain will come triumph antly out .of the struggle for her independence. The official intelligence brought by the last arrival of foreign Papers is contained in the fol. •lowing Telegraphic Dispatch, and in the sub joined extract from the Madrid Gazette Extra "ordb!arji of the 15th instant. The whole of ;these statements, however, have been anticipated. . by our advices from Paris, and wore insertedin THE SUN of yesterday TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCFL PARIS, Jinn 22.

BRITISH AND SPANISH COMMISSION. In THE SUN of the 16th inst., we exclusively stated, that Commissioners had been appointed, on tho part of this country, ns well as on that of Spain, for the purpose of ascertaining the validity of the claims preferred by British subjects against the Spanish Government, and for arranging their payment out of the fund voted for their liqui dation by the Cortes. We now subjoin an official letter addressed by Mr. CHOKER to Messrs. EWING and Co. of Glasgow, which confirms our statement, and which of course proves, whatever may be the wishes of the French, or whatever the intentions or the decrees-of the Spanish Regency, that the English Government will exact the rigid execution of its treaties with the Constitutional Government of Spain, what ever may be the final result of that unprincipled aggression upon the Peninsula, to the partial success of which the Madrid Regency owes its formation : Admiralty-office, June 17.

THE COUNTESS DOWAGER OF CA R DLGAN.— Yesterday morning at eight o'clock expired at her house, .in Seymour-place, the Countetsi Dowager of CARDIGAN,- after a short and• painful illness. Her Ladyship' was daughter of JOHN Earl of WALDEnuAvE, and aunt to the present Earl. She was• many years Lady of the Bed— chamber to. her Majesty Queen CHARLOTTE, and was universally admired for her amiable end vir tuous qualities. There was a grand review of troops at St; Pe tershurgh on the 30th ult. The EMPEROR, at. tended by a.very numerous and brilliant Etat Major, appeared in : the Champ de Mars at eleven o'clock.

An old shaft was being opened out, and for that purpose six men were' employed in the unddr taking. The shaft which they were breaking out afresh having been filled up upwards of twenty years, no idea was entertained of Its breaking att•ay upon the workmen, as during such a long period Wither aggregate mass, it was supposed, would have been converted into per fect solidity. Unfortunately it was otherwise ; and the consequence has been that six poor Industrious men met with a premature death, by the entire lodgement in the shaft suddenly giving way and burying them in the ruins. Amongst the sufferers are a father and son, and Mr. Wil liam Sutherland, one or the under.viewers of the colliery. THE KING. WINDSOR, JUNE 23. Yesterday we were gratified with seeing his MAJESTY, attended by a Gentleman, drive through the town in his little phaeton, down Thames-street and Datchet-lane, and round the Park wall by Datchet Bridge and Old Windsor on his return to his Lodge. As soon as it was known that his Majesty was going through the town, the church bells set up , a merry peal, and in the evening the Town Hall and all his Majesty's tradespeople were splen didly illuminated. The King, we are happy to say, appears extremely well, and takes an airing every day in Windsor Park.— The Rev. Mr. Sumner performed Divine Service, as Chaplain, yesterday, before the King, &c., at the Lodge.— His Majesty received the Duke of Cumberland on his arriVal at the door of the Lodge yesterday mor►►ing.

Lord and Lady Grantham entertained a distinguished party to dinner yesterday, at their house in St. JaMes's-square. The Countess of Essex entertained a large party at dinner yesterday, at bar-house in Hill -street, Berkeley -square. The Hon. and Rev. A.

Last night the Duchess of Portland renewed her brilliant entertainments, kith another magnificent ball, at her mansion in St. James's-square. Upwards of 700 cards of invitation were issued. The refreshments, fruit, ices, supper, and wines, were of the most rare and costly description. Yesterday the infant daughter - of Mr. and Lady Louisa Lambton was baptized at their ho use i n Cl eve l an d -row ; the Duke `ofSussex stood sponsor, on which occasion an elegant entertainment was given to a large party of distinguished friendc H A INIA RE ET TncA.TnE.,—.Th e musical after piece of Rosina, which has for many years ,kept its station on the stage, by the amusing variety of the characters, anti the beautiful compositions of Suit:Ll), was the first performance at this Theatre last night. Miss JOHNSON, wheat? Countess, in Figaro:, we have previously noticed, was the rustic heroine of the night. Her performance of Retina was unaffectedly si m ple, and She sung in a pleasing manner. As she becomes more fami liar with a London audience, she will improve in ease and self-poss ess i on. Mr. Ditvis was the Belville; he sings with ;rent taste, but not with much power. T 7 --e t is, however, in acting and singing, an acquisition to the Theatre.--- A Cure for the Heart Ach e fo llowed. The re.. presentation of the C ome d y at this Theatre We have already noticed, and need only re peat that it is generally well supported. The only change in the performance• was the sub- stitution of Ms. Cia rrooD , instead of Mrs. °aura, in the part of Mi ss YoriCx. We know not whether the latter actress has tquitted this Theatre, or is detained by her articles at"Drury lane, but it is just t o. say that the former gave spirit to the character. The farce of Mrs. Smith concluded the entertainm e nt, and is so whimsical, that it is likely to be popular through the season. WATER COLOURED DRAWING3.----The excel.. letsce which this province of the Fine Arts has at. twined, Was obvious in the late Exhibition in the new Room at Pall-mall East. That Exhibition, which Tecently closed, consisted of Drawings that had not before been submitted to the publie eye. The Room was opite& yesterday with an Exhibition of the same kind, but of many works which have been previously seen.

Sciences contains the following article :—The municipality ofthe city of Haarlem has just decreed, that the fourth centenary fete for the inven. tion of printing, shall be celebrated in that city, on the 10th July next; that, on this occaaion, there shall he a solemn in. auguration of the monument raised in the wood of Haarlem, to the honour of Lawrence Koster, who was the first that printed with moveable characters. This fact is contested by several writers, but the greater part have treated this subject with too little attention. M. de lurnig, in a very judicious dissertation; has completely investigated this subject in• • all its bearings, whether, typography, or practical workmanship ; f ur one must either be of the profession, or intimately connected with the mechanical part, to decide on the various points in dispute.' Deputies are to assemble at this fete from all theacademics and. societies of the kingdom. The printery and booksellers or Philadelphia lately metror the purpose of appointing some de. putles to otrer the homage of the Americans at the foot of a monument which is to iiiiirtortalie the memory of a man to whom literature and the ociences owe their principle progress and perfection. The usual discourse will be pronounced by the celebrated Professor Vander Palm. A letter from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 10th April, after describing the assembling of the Cortes on the 17th, states that the oath taken by the Members is contrary to all principles of li berty, inasmuch as it professes entire obedience to the will of the Emperor. The oath is said to have been drawn up by the well-known Antonio Carlo, , one of the late deputies in Lisbon, and brother of Jose Bonifacio. It was intended, under the plea of certain errors and omissions in the jOurnals, to propose to the Brazilian Cortes the establishment of a censorship on the press. ANECDOTE of Mit.u.--When this General lately entered France, he . was at one time in a small country house, taking his soup. Three gensdarmes, who had been made prisoners by some of his soldiers, were there presented. to him. " I see, gentlemen," said MINA, by your uniform, that you belong to the police, and without doubt you come to enquire after me ; make 'your report-i—say that on such a day and at such an hour I was upon the French territory eating my soup ; three prisoners more or less is of little consequence to me—yen are at liberty." Dux}... OP HARTON.—This unfortunate noble. man was not less distinguished by the accom. plishments of his mind than the beauty and elegance of his person. Worn out by excessive dissipation at the early age of thirty-two, he retired to Spain : in one of the fainting fits to which he had been subject, he fell from his horse in a small village, and was carried by some cha ritable monks of the order of St. Bernard into their convent, where they administered to his wants in the best manner they could. Under their hospitable roof he languished a week, and then died. The character of Lovelace in Clarissa has been supposed to 'be. that of this nAleman, and what confirms this supposition is—the True iton, a political paper in which the Duke used to write, was. printed by Mr. Richardson. The English Opera House will open for the summer season in a few days ; and among the first novelties, we understand, will be the debut of Miss . DANCE, . sister of Miss DANCE, late of Covent-Garden Theatre, in the character of Susana, in Figaro. It is stated in a letter from Paris, that Mr JAMES LAVITTE, intending to retire from public. commercial affiuirs, has assigned to each of his Clerks in the Bank, an annuity in tbv public funds, equal to the amount of his salary. This is, indeed, a most generous proceeding. HORRIBLE CASE. Yesterday evening an Inquest was held at the sign of the Green-Dragon, Maddox street, Ila nover-square, before TuostAs illoGs, Esq. 'Co roner, on the bodies of Mr. Gnirrrrus, senior, aged 60, and ABEL GRIFFITHS,.his son, aged 22, who came by their deaths under the following dreadful circumstances : The Jury having been sworn, proceeded to take a view of the bodies, which lay at their house, No. 4, Maddox -street. The bodies of the deceased lar in the drawing-room, and presented a moat awful spectacle. - The floor of the apartment was cover ed with blood ; the father lay prostrate on his back in one corner of the room, and the son was lying about seven verde from him. They resembled each other very much, anti the greatest interest was excited on the occasion. Crowds of per sons assembled round the house and Jury house. On the return of the Jury to the Green Dragon, Mr. Hunter Nicholson, assistant to Mr. King, of Conduit -street, surgeon, being xtrorn, said, that he was sent for at half-past 12 o'ciock yesterday afternoon. A person called in greet, haste saying that a gentleman had s hot hi mse lf. H e went imme diately . and ar rived at the house five minutes after the circumstance had taken place. 'Witness was shown into the drawing room on the first floor, where he found the two bodies, one near the door red the other near the fire place. The father was dead, bu t the son was no: quite so, but insensible. He died in five minutes aftee his arrive/. Both the deceased had their clothes on. On examining the head et' the elder deceased, hefound a wound proceeding feoni a pistol bar, and alargequan tity of bloodhadflowed therefrom, and witness haci • no doubt but this caused his death. There were no other marks of violence on his person. The body of the deceased Mr. Griffith~, jun., lay near the fire-place. tie found. a wound on the right temple, evidently from a pistol bull, which had entered the beam. The brains of the deceased were scattered about the carpet. This wound, in witness's opinion, was the cause of his death. There were two small pistols in the roete—on e on the - table, and the oth er on t h e fl oor.

The hands of the other deceased were perfectly clean. Ile had hie glo,•es on, and his umbrella and hat Jay close by his:, as if he was on the point of leaving the room when shot. J. Heaveside, Esq., sworn, corroborated the testimony of the above witness. 'William Wade, a man of colour, being sworn, said, that he was servant to the deceased Mr. Griffiths, spn., whose son oc casionally visited the house. His family resides a: Southamp ton. Ho called five or six times lately at the house No: Maddox-street, lienover-square, where his hi t h er l o d ge d when in town. Th e deceased, Mr..

Ile did not seehim the second visit he made; when he first called, his father was not at home. He saw him the third time he called ; witness on opening the d oor , went up stairs, and informed the fitter ;hat his son was below. He gave orders for hint to walk up stair:`. They were nut o n friendly terms; the deceased is not the only son ; there are brothers, and his mother is living. The fourift call the deceased son made, he left his card for his father, and • left the place. iio called again on Saturday night. Had you any reason to believe they were not on friendly terms ? ‘Witnese.—Ves. The father had told me to deny him when his son called. (hi one occasion when he , called, he requested to have•an interview with his father ; and on wituess answering him, lie was requested to walk up to the drawing-rooin, but witness could not tell what transpired between them. The last time he called watt yesterday noon about half-past twelve o'clock, when witness was up stairs. He - was informed by a boy in the House that% young gentleman was below, tell° was desirous of seeing his (witness's) master. Witness went down stairs, and saw Mr. Abel Griffiths Standing in the passege._ He said he wanted to see his father, and asked if he was at home ; witness, answered" that he wee," on which the deceased asked, " might he ,go up stairs ?" Wi tness said i° no ;" he would go, and he accordingly proceeded up stairs, and in formed the father, who consented to see him. Witness con ducted hint into the drawingeroom, Oct which he bowed to his father, who returned it. The father was going out at the time, and had previously announced his intention of doing so to wit ness. They remained in the room about twenty minutes; they at first spoke very low ; witness heard the father say to his 41_4" "'That he knew very well what would be the. end of ite he (the son) would not feel satisfied, until a gaol had picked him up. lie also said, " I allowed you a certain sum of money, and that would have kept you very well. You ought to have stayed where you was." He did not hear the deceased repeat the specified auto which he allowed him—nor did he know where his father - wished him to have remained. Witness also heard the father say to his son, " I must go out." Coroner—Did you hear the son threaten hint ?-4 did not.
