, riONSON JO (JR NI S • • • DA.UX Ha:leads. from. the-igi-ning Papers, June 17 . `IIIOIININO CHRONICLE.] Letters from Madrid state, that the 250,000 men Avbo , Wire,Co.leave Mattrid Tor Sevillvi dwindled dovhfiV r 5,000, and that at the moment of their , depar.turo.they reteived counter-orders. Part of them took the direction of Radajos, and the rest that of Valentin. At Madrid the emigration continued, and the Duke d'Angouleme !rad re-organized the , tild Guards. 'rile Coyns Christi day was" ivlt bra ted With great military pomp, hut ft w inhabitants made their appetit'ance. The plot bet. Tins to thicken apace, The Holy Alliance have marked out another State for their vengeance—the little kingdom of Wurtemberg. The Minisfers of the three Powers at Stugard have been ordered home ; the French having no MinSster there, could not of course exhibit their displeasure in the same way. Something of this kind has been !milted forever since it was known that his Majesty of - Wurtemberg was dissa tisfied uitlk the dictatorship of Europe claimed by the Great Powers. The German Diet have been, instigated at. the same time to sup-, press n Journal published in his dominions. Ile Holy Alliance are in the right to annihilate evcry vestige pi liberty around them. it is obviou-ly impossible that liberty and slavery can exist in harmony together, and having themselvs de termined that their own subjects shall be slaves, they art only consistently when they declare that no other, people shall be free. The King of Wuttemberg seems to . be a well-meaning honest man, who contents himself with the part which the Constitution of his Kingdom has as signed to him ; but his example only serves to make the subjects of States, of which the Sove reigns act on a different system, dissatisfied with their condition. The determination, on the part of the latter, to force him to be in unison with themselves, was therefore to be expected.-- Mr. Peel acknowledged that Austria was en- titled to prevent. the People of -Naples from becoming more free than the People of Lombardy, and the same great Statesman will,. we irave no doubt, .be ready • to apply the same . rule to Wurtetn be r:;.-- This interference' thn part of the Itoly Alliance will no doubt prodnee . m-great- sensation in Wurtemberg and tiv adjoining, countries. The people who speak the A lionantikli dialect of the German, i. e. the Swabians' (of whom the Wartembergers are a -,PPlltai tilt! isy, and Alsatians,nro distinguished Aft/ft - heir derision and energy of character, and we do not therefore conceive that it will be an easy tnatter to reconcile the NVurtembergers to aoy encroachment on their independence,— ' (ibid.) LMO vING The intelligence from Catalonia is highly into resting and important. t 1 hilst Moncey admits that " waitioq for the reinforcements which his Excellency Lilo Minister at Ivor had an pounced to be on the way" before he can resume the offensive, Al nut is, or has been, positively ma ' ;namvting in France. The " entrance of his ad , vance guard at Rourg-Madame" formed part, we finch, of ildt telegraphic dispatch so difficult to be deciphered, and probably contributed not n , little tro ,the sudden darkening of the French Itiinisters' vision. — An official Report addressed to Marshal Moncel, and, signed by rite Officer (Ceuta Wham), wjto observed Mina's Movements in France, without venturing to attack l4iait,.having been since received it wars iMPossible any longer to conceal the fact that , the _proud invaders ,had become themselves the invaded. — Hence the invisible end„of the telegraphic dis ,,patch was some how or other traced out and recoveriA bours after t position of the Tele graph ntngt.have ceased to display it, and both were laid at once before the public. it appears from Count dlson'., intelligent Report, that Mina occonpied• several French villages,_ !bat of Palau in pftrticulur, where lie remained two days; that. his troops maintained a strict ctiscipline ; that he did not raise any con tributions, nltltongh it bad been expected, and that when she retired from those posi- Opus, he remained on the extreme frontier, some tbues in France and sometimes in Spain, as he found it convenient, or as the objects which he might have in view required. it is also clear that there wus no force in that quarter able to pre vent him from moving where, when, and how he pleased., lie was followed at a distance when ho chose to leave a place, but nothing was.done to drive him out of it. A few days will now re veal whether this hold and enterprizing move.. men was connected with any plan or promise of co-operation in France. Should the second Army of Reserve not promptly assemble, Spain tuay perhaps not long remain the only . seat or [Monts! :to n vn 1.0:1 'li`l'o Vari, 1 1 pe rti of S...tturday contain tin fur ther news of tnhe attempt at. counter-reeolotion in Portugal.,, nor is there in them any thing into resting relative to 1110 operations in Spaio. Pr ow now uratterechparagraph., in they form of private' letter* from Madrid, it would appear that Unit. city is far flan I,ranquilp llioties are dttael;ed, and blond flows utmost daily in the street', not withstanding every attempt of the Fretteti to preven t it. , It is not popular atlimo,itiea alone, however, that cause diNtraction. Madrid is re preFetited as being ar„.in the focus' of party in trigue. The G randees, t yen those who signed, or iv-ho are "et dotVli a , ha i the Address io the French Prince, are divided against each other—one part, the majority, being in favour of a pure despoticta, the remainder demand a Constitution of two Chambers. Meetings, of the latter are hi secretly, in concert, it is stated, with Martinez di la Rosa, whose guilty participa tion in the affair of the memorable 7th of July is tia long•er doubted. It is stated that A bisbal StlCCeedi , d in obtaininff an llUtlience of the I.)ulie ,ir A ngonletne, upon :limn he affected, as a man of authority, to imp ess the expediency Of merely Modifying . t h e Constitution. The Duke, how ever, stopt hint short, by saying he should treat that subject with king Ferdinand. Abisbal's treason, as far as public appearances go, seems to havEtt been as unprofitable as disgraceful. Whether from his sense, of the treatment he received from the Duke of Angouleme, or because he did not think himself safe at Madrid, he left that city in disguise, and was arrested on his route to France.— The accounts from Madrid come down to the 7th. A series of a Madrid Journal, called the, aazette, of that date, under the auspices of the Regency, has been received. It contains little else, than the State Papers of this new Government. But these are not wholly without interest;. every act of Government which they rromulgate tends toishow that it is designed to resuscitate the Monarchy in the old form. The political institutions suppressed by the Constitution are industriously revived—even some, for the exercise of whose functions there is no present occasion. The principle declared seems to he, that no coMprotnise must be made with the Revolution. These Papers state that King Ferdinand and the Cortes were _still at Seville, on the 3d ; but their " private letters" are little to be relied on. The fact even n•mild not be °crouch importance, as there would still be more than ample time for removal to Cadiz. before the corps dispatched from Madrid could arrive. Some Journals, both of Paris and Lon dinr, treat' this war as approaching to its close.— The French Government, however, does hot seem to think sot regiments are sent into Spain witlrgreat expedition ; trains of besieging artil lery--the use of which appears not to have been contemplatea in the beginning of the war, have also been sent off; and it is stated that General Vallin, who commanded the advanced guard of the Duke of Angouleme's first corps, passed through Bayonne, on a special mission to Paris. LTIIE TIMES.] The news from the Peninsula is of a mixed character : that from Spain certainly appears more favourable to the cause which every upright man has at heart than any which it has been our lot tofinnounce recently. Moncey's position, as as announced by, the Malheur, evince an inca pacity to effect an important object till be shall have received reinforcements. But this is not all : the account which he gives of Mina is truly interesting. It reminds one of Swift's. account of the celebrated Lord Peterborough in the same country, who was incessantly appearing, to the great discomposure (If his enemies, where and when he was least ex pected,like, one rising from the dead. Moncey is dully occupying himself with the re connoissance of Barcelona, when he is suddenly awakened into life and hustle by the news of Mina's re-appearance's in his rear, in the Cer dagne. 44 Eroles and St. Priest," quoth 11Ioncey, " must be on his, traces." It. might have been as well if the Commander-in-Chief had been there too t---We learn from very good authority, that the Duke d'Angouleme painfully expresses his surprise, that up to the present time he has not had the slightest proposition of peace made to him : so that, if we may use such an antithesis, he ad vanee's without succeeding. Ile is disposed to enter into partial negociations with any Chiefs or Commanders that may be near him. To these the fate of A bisbal offers no very tempting lure ittthe way of exatnple. The reports respect ing this worthy are various. Some assert that, hav ing been sent off to France as a place ofsecurity by the Duke d'Angouleme, with what his Highness thought proper precautions, be had notwithstand ing been arrested on the toad, and shot by order of the French Regency ! There appear to us to be some irreconrileable inconsistencies in this story ; .Yet we may gather front them the assurance that 1,4 'subject of the report itself is suffering the ti,ual lot of traitors—receiving no great at teution from those whom he has served, and hated as he deserves by those whom he has bp trayed.—The rumours of anti-revolutionary move ments in Portugal acquire greater strength ; hot in these, also, there are some inconsistencies. We ' 'refer'dur readers for particulars to the accounts from Chat country, which, however, all come through a French medium. • iViOntej'i phrase iit, " l'Apparition de Mina." Swift, speaking , afTeterboroi!gb,.says— So wontlertul.ins expedition " " When you have not the least suspicion, ' 4 ' lie's with you like an apparition." • IRRITISII PRESS.] The Strongest hopes are entertained that the Spite Melds Bill just passed by the Lower House will be, rejected by the House of Lords. The Chancellor himself last night presented a petition from the journeymen; most numerously signed, against the measure. The Noble Lord said he was au imperfect judge of the differences existing between the journeymen and the masters, but he knew that a large body of loyal subjects,who had on all 'occasions conducted themselves as the peti tioriesxhad done, well deserved that their claims sitoold receive the fullest possible consideration from that House. The petition prayed to be heard by Counsel against the Bill. Lord I pool be stowed, the strongest praise on the conduct of the pe,titiOners, not only during the painful pro gress to thefp of the present Bill, but during a long series of years. They had often, the Mi ,nisterAo, suffered great privations frotn want of emptoyment, and even of food, yet had always been loyal, peaceable, and well-conducted. The Noble Enrl moved t 1 commitment of thr Bill on Wednesday, w hi c h, as well as that the petitioners should be be ar d 'by Counsel against its further progrest, sca agreed to. Lord Ellenborough also presented two strong petitions against this hilt ; the first from 179 master silk-weavers in Spitalfiellis . ,, and the second from the church arden.rind 10,500 of inhabitonts the Pat i•di Nrattbew, Bethttal-Gt( en, both deprecating the pAssifig this Act by the 114 m m ,, and the lane: stating the great increase of poor-rates it would cause the 'Parish. Lord Ellen borough stated his dissent strongly , from the Bill, and /rave great praise to the petkeable conduct of the weavers, The general feeling of the House appeared nio , o favourable to the Petitioners, and the Bill, so H . Pa pally passed through the Lower ouse, hkel3 to be lost in the Tipper. In truth, this post-ha , te compulsory sort of legislation for a numerous, most industrious, and deserving order of men, is scarce worthy of an enlightened :and impartial Legislature. The principles of the Bill we have no objection to, but they should be accompanied by many other repeals and alterations. The weavers themselves are tolerable judges of what enactments must injure or serve their body ; they are deeply interested in the result, and they are entitled to the fullest and the calmest discussion and deliberation at the hands of the Legislature, before any new medsure is passed so obnoxious to them as the present. [NEW TIMES..] Mina appears to be wandering about among the mountains near the frontier. This savage wretch, who by the last accounts was issuing his mon strous Decrees, threatening massacre and confla gration to the inhabitants on the lower part of the Llobregat, is now driven beyond the upper part of the Segre. We regret to have to speak with such abhorrence of one who in -the pa triotic war rendered his country good service ; but his recent massacres are too horrible to contemplate, and, with the exception of Buona parte, no such man of blood has appeared in re cent flews as. this atrocious monster. Any man who pretends to philanthropy, and can read MI.. moved the details of Mina's cruelties, must be a base hypocrite. General " Bourmont, who is pursuing Zayns into Estremadura, had passed without resistance the celebrated station of the Pacnic del .4rzobispo: General Bordesoult, who is advancing on Seville, had already passed Manzanares, ninety miles south of Madrid; and General. Molitor,, who is pursuing Ballasteros, is believed to have nearly reached Valencia, Of the state of things at Seville no certain advices have been received.—Some of our pri vate letters assert positively that the King was' on his way to Cadiz on the sth instant : others deny this: certain it is, that great divisions exist-1 ed at Seville on the Sd instant ; and it was then believed that a strong party, both . military and civil, would resist his Majesty's removal from that city. Abisbal is said to have been arrested, attempting toescape in disguise' into France.— Ilow inconceivably impudent must be those Spanish Refugees, who, in the teeth of all these facts, endeavour to persuade the people of England that the Spanish nation is attached to the Constitution But we pity and almost par don these. poor creatures, for they are almost starving, few of them having received, any pay from the Descamisado Government for several months. It would be an act of charity to apply to their relief the money raised on pretence of buying arms and ammunition : the fanner might be a lawful, the latter is certainly an mode of employing the money. if further proof were necessary of the utter childish helplessness of the Spanish Republicans we might appeal to the letters of Sir Robert Wilson. Gallicial with a population of above a million and a half of per sons, cannot furnish above,sooo men, and those undisciplined, mithout arms, and almost without clothes ! LAW INTELLIGEIN.CE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, JUNE 16. THE XING Z. POYNDER. This defendant had been convicted on an indictment for re fusing to accept the office Of Overseer of the Parish of St. Ann, Blackfriars. On the motion of Mr. Aoor.Pnu s, the defendant was brought up for judgment. Mr. DErtstarr, adverting to the costs which thetlefendant had already sustained by thi s proceeding, and reminding the Court of the facts that th e d e f en d ant was now act i ng as an Overseer, that he was upwa r d s o f seventy-two years of age, end that his liability to serve was originally doubtful, contended that enough had been done to satisfy the justice of the case. After some conversation it was agreed that the defendant should go before the Master, who was to exercise his discretion Upon all the circumstances of the case. CRIMINAL INFORMATION. Alr. DENAIA.N renewed the application he made on Saturday against the Proprietor and the Punter of Vie Morning aro. nick for an alleged libel upon Mr. Davis, one of the Dublin Grand Jury, and produced amend e d a ffid av i ts , shewing that the Proprietor and the Printer had b ot h candidly acknowledged, the tme that he was ostensible Proprietor of the Paper, and the other that he was the Printer of the Paper in which the publication in question appeared. Upon this statements The CoURT granted a rule to shew cause. BOARD OF EXCISE. Yesterday an oilman named Edwards, who resides in the NeW-cut, Lambeth, was charged with having purchased a quarter of a hundred weight of soap, knowing it to be smuggled. ---- Connor swore that on the 4th or sth of May he called at the 'defendant's shop, told him he had some " run," - or smuggled soap to sell low, and offered to let hint have a quan tity at 41is. ; the price of dutV-paid soap at the time being 665. Called again on the Bth of May, and shewed him a sample, but he refused to give more than at the rate of 40s. ; sold him a quarter of a hundred. The COUAT—Liow do you know it was smuggled ? Witness—Because I made it myself. The Counr.—lt is a pity fact. Did you sell much of it ? our officers were not aware of that Witness-- No. rwas ruined myself 18 months ago by the practice persons had of selling smuggled soap. Joseph ChamoneysdepOsed that he had assisted in making the soap, anti that he carried the quantity ordered by the de fendant to his *hop, where it was weighed, and the money paid to " Mr. Connor." The defendant admitted that he had purchased the soap at the price stated, but denied in the most positive manner that he bad been told by Connor that the'soap was smuggled. lie had ortry commenced business three days when the sale was made, and other dealers in the neighbourhood sold soap openly at a price as loar.; therefore he could not infer from the price that the soap was - strnigg,led. Witness's brother deposed, that Connor never had stated that the soap The CouaT were of o pinion, that the defendant must have was smuggled in the whole conversa t i on . • presumed that the soap was smuggled from the price at which it was' sold ; bin under the Particular circumstances of the case, they mitigated the penalty from 1001. to 61.

Oxronn, JUNE 12.—At an early hour this morning, groups of elegantly dressed females were seen in all directions proceeding for the Sheldonian Theatre, to witness the Annual Commemoration of the Benefactors, and the Recitation of the Prize Poems. The ladies were admitted as early as eight o'clock, and were all accommodated with seats in the rising semicircle of the theatre, leaving the front row for the Noble men and Doctors; the area was reserved for Masters of Arts, Bachelors of Law; and strangers ; the upper gallery. exclusively for Bachelors of Arts and Undergraduates.. Thus situated, the right was most imposing, from the splendid variety of fe male dresses, and the brightness of a host of lively countenances ! , contrasted with academical gowns and studious faces abOve and below them. The authorities deserve the greatest poraise for the excellence of the arrangement by which nearly 4,000 persons were admitted without the slightest confusion. At 11 o'clock the rocession of the Vice-Chancellor moved f r om P e mbroke College through Christ Church, across the buildings by Rad cliffe Library, and entered the .theatre in front of the chair. The Vice-Chancellor was most flatteringly received by the stn.: dents ; and the proctors, Illessrs. Short and Smith (which is unusual), were welcbthed with general atclaniations. Many of the heads of houses were distinguished, .on their entrance, by the most violent disapprobation, and some few by the opposite testimony. We did not perceive the Dean of Christ Church present. The singers met a very distinguished reception on their entrance into the orchestra. As soon as silence could be obtained, the Vice-Chancellor, in a brief address, opened the commemoration. Mr. Millman, a Professor of Poetry, then ascended the rostrum, and spoke the Latin - oration for the benefactors, which was well received. The recitation of the Chancellor's prizes followed. .4 Latin Essay, " Conditio Ser vororn opud Antiquar,!' was first very wel ly recited by Edw. Virickaro, B. A., Fellow of New College. • A Latin Poeni, Ars Geologitv, was delivered by . Isaac Williams, scholar of Trinity ; and an English Essay on Public Spirit among the Ancients, by Charles, John Plumer, 8.A., Fellow of Oriel College. Both these young Gentlemen were very deservedly applauded, Sir Roger Newdigate's prize, for English verse, was recited .by the author, Thomas Stokes Salmon, of Braze nose • and, independent of the composition, which is thought highly of here, it was delivered in a very superior. style, which waxmaterially increased by the intelligent and pleasing appear ance of the juvenile. poet. The Meeting concluded about half-past two with " God save the King," which was encored.. Amongthe company present was the Earl and Countess of Abingdon, Marshal General Lord Beresford, Earl Bruce, Lord Hope, Lord Ingestrie, Lord Ongley, Lord Fincastle, L ord Stormount, Lord Mahon, Hon. Mr. Kenyon, and Hon. Mr. Vesey. The Vice-Chancellor's procession, on leaving the Theatre, returned to Pembroke- Hall, where a most elegant titleune was prepared for them. The third and last concert was most brilliantly attended : the vocal performers acquitted themselves with great eclat. The performance concluded at nine. o'clock in the evening, , with " God save the King." The Quadrille Ball, this evening was crowded to excess, and many carriag es, filled with longing hearts, were obliged to be driven away front the gay centre of attraction, owing to the press for admission into the Town Hall, and the impossibility of finding even standing room after an early hour in the su perb saloon set apart for the dancers. The Countess of Abing don shone conspicuous as Lady Patroness, and the Noble Earl, with other Nobility . and Gentlemen Stewards, Were particularly active in endeavouring to arrange the quadrille parties, and maintaining tbe utmost order, possible in so crowded a room, which, in preparation for an increase of dancers, beyondk those of the 10th, had more space left in it for the public accommo dation. T he :refreshments were abundantly served with the Utmost regularity, and promptitude by Mr. Bertram, to the complete satisfaction of the Ball Stewards, as the Gentlemen to whose More immelliate care the previmis arrangements of the balls had been confided., The number of fashionables present d a r t e t d h . e Bull could not h ave amounted ' to less than eight hun- We subjoin' Mr. SALMON'S Verses,-which have considerable vigour of expression, and some thought and imagination.

ASCENT OF MR. GREEN „A ND . MR. SPARROW IN A BALLOON . , Oxroun, JUNE 14.—The ascent of the balloon was fixed for one o'clock at the gas works : upwards of 5,000 'persons were essembled to enjoy the sight. The ascent was, however, delayed for more than two hours by an accident that happened to the poles from which it' was suspended. About half past two the inflation being completed, sir. Green mounted the car, accompanied by a young gentleman front London,. of the name of Sparrow who paid the aeronaut 50/. to be allowed to encounter the perils of the voyage. Nothing could exceed the intrepid self-possession of both of themV The beautiful and majestic vehicle rose with extreme slowness, and. Mr. Green immediately threw out part of his ballast, but not with.entire effect, for the net work encircling the balloon caught the corner of 1 the chimney of one of the gas furnaces, by.which the car was nearly upset, and at the moment a feeling of horror pervaded the breast of the thousands below. Fortunately, however, the aeron. nuts kept their seats, and instantly Mr. Sparrow waved his flag gaily and frequently, in token of the car having recovered its balance. Mr. Sparrow has given the follbwing narrative of the course :—On rising from the ground it appeared, as if we were impelled upwards, not unlike the feeling excited by the action of a swing ; the concussion when the car struck the chimney of the gas work was electric, and gave the car a ee r tt. cal movement. On clearing this obstruction, we took an oblique direction, inclining to south-west, when a light current of air springing up, we again changed for due east, and rose perpendicularly and rapid, trim the quantity of ballast we had thrown out to clear the gas works. It is not in the Power of, language to express the gratifitation the aeronaut experienced : on viewing the expanse above him into which lie was gradually: and almost imperceptibly rising. They . here (at about half a mile from the earth) encountered a variety - of currents, which produced a retrograde and sometimes angular motion. To avoid any sensation of fear front looking too suddenly down on' the objects beneath, the young aeronaut accustomed himself to the view by gradation, taking ,the inure distant object first, and in a short time he was able to look With the greatest confidence on the surface of the earth, which at this time presented the . most beautiful variety of coloura, resea l - Wing a Mosaic pavement, heightened by the min's rafter, ti,in. Around them, the clouds appeared an ocean of snow; be Hea th, the splendid - carpet of nature spread forth her gay varieties over an irinneasurable expanse. The accident at starting lied injured the baroineter, but not so as to prevent their calculating the heights. On leaving the earth the mercury stood at 29 inches 7-10ths. At the greatest altitude to which they rose, it was et 21 inches 3-10ths ; from this.tbetchlcubito they were about 2 miles in height front the surface of the earth. The therthometer"fluettiated greatly; the lowest point was 55, and the highest 70. As the barometer would not answer to the descent, they had recourse to an expedient, by placing one of the flags over th e s id e o f t h e car , and observing the action of the air upon it : by this means they ascertatried when they were descending or rising. When they had been in the air about one hour and a half, the cap of the neck of the balloon came off, and they were compelled to stand up and tie a silk handkerchief round; by which means they succeeded in eventing the too rapid esc a pe of th e gas . N ot hi ng mate rial occurred for • the next hour and a half, until they began to descend. Mt, Green conceived they hovered over Nettlebed-. heath, where the woods are unusually thick. They had now little ballast, left, and therefore no choice of selecting a more favourable, spot ; they, continued to descend rapidly, and at about a thousand feet from the earth, Mr. Green . gave his com panion instructions to throw out the cushions and cling fast to the hoop from which the ear was Suspended to the balloon; they had scarcely done so before they experienced a most violent con cussion, from the machine striking. the earth and rebounding a height•of 50 feet: it then ros e an d p asse d a f ew y ar d s , w h en , on a second 'descent and shock, Mr. Sparrow was thrown out, and the balloon thus lightened, rose again, with Mr. U., and at about a • distance of 150 yards Mr. S. having recovered IV= the shock, and caught hold of the ropes, the netting and ear became entan gled in the tops of some very high trees : in this perilous situa tion immediate assistance, was afibrded by the labdurers in Lady Stapleton's park, where they had first fallen upon a ris ing ground, and within 300 yards of the mansion-h0u5e...... Stapleton-park is two miles from Henley, and 22 from Oxford. The balloon was, by the exertions of a dozen strong fellows, soon secured, and Mr. Green descended down a rope to Terra firma. The ear was dashed to pieces by the violence of the shock. Lady Stapl e ton i nstant l y sent and invited the aeronauts to partake of some refreshments, and offered them every assis tance in securing and conveying the balloon to Oxford, where they arrived about 12 o'clock oft Friday night. A large sum of money was collected on the ground for admission to view the process of filling. Thus happily terminates the amusements of the festival, which, if they have not been equally well graced with nobility as on former occasions, have certainly been more numerously and very respectably attended.
