The Duke d'ANGouwit has at length, with his own hand, exhibited the mock Regency in its-true character, that Of the crest:: ture of,.his will, and the mere pUPPet Of his military projects, employed only for. the Purposi3 of facilitating. the subjugation of the Peninsula: The. language of a military Dlctator, hoWever, assumed.' by the Prince GeneraMalmo, and the licentious arrogance with Witieh he has assigned to his lieutenant* the suprerbi! 'command even over provinces not yet visited by the French arms, Cali have no other effect than to render the Regency salt more odious and contemptible than it had al redly become by its own frantic proceedings, arid to give AM greater intensity- to the spirit of resist ance to the foreigners, which is already bhqing with so much fierceness through Out Spain. The appearance of this document, just four days be fore the Prince's departure from Madrid, warrants the suspicion that he intended the execution of that, part of it whi c h is assigned to the Regency, tin 1)(' the last act of sovereignty exercised by its 44 Serene Highness," antrthat after it has thus been employed to give a colour of legality to the conduct of the French Agents in the provinces, it will be wholly abandoned by its parent, patron, and protector, the Duke d'Amootn.iitE!

" By order of his Royal Highness; "Count de GUILI,IiMINOT, Major-General. " Head-quarters, Madrid, July 24." From the miscellaneous inforMation in the Madrid Grtzefte, we select the following pas. Sages:— • . " The Government h a s received information that thelm portant health. of their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses continued, on the 21st, 22d, and 23d current,, unchanged; "The communications with Cadiz becoming daffy nlore and the blockade more strict, wheaten bread has in consequence already risFn to 10 or 20 re:ll4;Fr pound. The other articles of the first necessity have risen in the:same proportion. " On the 21st, an Engli3b s hip, luider a flitg of triiee, - entered the Port of Cadiz. The object of her rrtission has been theStib ject of touch conversation. " At two o'clock yesterday morning, the Duke of Angou leme left Madrid for Seville. From this deterinination'of his !loyal Highness, we arc induced to encourage the mat firour- - . able hopes, since we cannot but flatter ourselves, that it may prove a powerful means of more proniptly, obtaining the de liverance of our beloved King and Royal rattily, and putting a stop to tbe:evils which afilict.the country. " For this reason the Regency pf the kingdom has made the requisite arrangements for providing his ,Royal' Highneis, his-retinue, and the troops which ttecomynny hrui throughout the whole of the rout.e, with, every, thing neceitutry for the journey, and for paying that honour y,fltich is due to thz. high , dignity and character of so Magnininious a deliveier, Who has come to rc.establisb tranquility and order amongst us, at the expense of innumerable fatigues and sacrifices," in 'mit.

The only intelligence that GoiternMent pretends to have received ,is the arrival „of. the Duke of Angouleme at , Ocagria. Not a word , is said about Baltasteros in our Alinisterial Paper", though it is confidently reported that hi is marching withopt obstacles against Cordova with 20,000 nien, and m a y probably cause spme danger to, die Duke of Angoulerne's .further pro ,Om southward . kir the ate fire at, Nadriti, the .French officers made great eflbrts to save the houses contiguous to the church, —they demanded water from the spectators, Who coolly looked en the progress of the flames. Water Was given them, but Many of the officeis died next day, from the poisonous ingre dients the Spaniards mingletllvith it. Such is the account ; but cold water taken hastily, after violent exertion, might have produced the mine effect.. p. . T4e following authentic fasts relative to the French expendi ttire in Spain, have been obtained from the highest authority. ',lndependent of other means, the party now at the head OF affairs ht France, who have declared and carried on war against Spain, will find that war a Most efficacious measure for,tbe in definite extension of the public debt: The contracts Matte with Ouvrard are hot only mostruinoue to the treastiey 4 for this con. tractor is certain of obtaining a profit of 40 millions in. the course of the year; but the consequences are most calamitous towards the wretched inhabitants of the countries occupied by the krencli army. The agents pf ,Ouvrurd are scattered over the provinces of Sintin, and raise contributions in kind from the inhabitants, which the agents sell for cash to the Prenelt troops, and, all this without any order from the French GO v,erninent, or Any accounts of the sums thus extorted. : In the beginning of July the Duke of 13elluno, the Minister of War, addressed a precise account of this wretched syStem .t 6 the Connell of Ministers, anti on the 111th of the tame month, Sent the Duke of Angotileme very strong representations against the terms of Ouvrard's contracts, anti the depredations committed by his agents. Ile dwelt on the necessity or annulling the con. tract, both for,the,interest of the treasury, and the:peitee And quiet of theAmnish people._ He said in council that he held his hOneur compromised by such conduct, and would a thou sand limes rather resign Ins office than give his approbation or sign his name to such scandalous abuses.lbis langhage was but natural from the man, the best quali 7 fled from hie situation to know the exact athount of the expences of the war, and who had• already given a statement In open council, of the amount of these on the first. day of July.. " on the lst of July these expences amounted to two bundreti and three millions of &tines, ' in which were included neither the additional pay granted to the. army, ,rips the enormous chargei of Falling the vet erans i nto act i ve serv i ce, nor the charges of the army of reserve , nor finally the sums necessary to commence the sieges of Cadiz, Pampeluna, Saint Sebastian, anti several places in Catalonia, without the possession of which the mare', of the Il'rencli army in Spain becomes every day more and more dangerous. These various expontes cannot ( a t th e Idwest caletilatiOn)• be rated at less than one hundred and twenty millions; and the subsequent expences,,supposing the campaign to confirm.; being at least as high as one hundred - and eight millions more, it is impossible th a t the war in the Peninsula (even if not prolonged beyond the beginning of October) pin cost France less than five huh recd or five hundred and fifty nuilions of francs. These enormous charges, brought on a whole people by the frantic ambition of, a fanatical few, will be probably concealed in a certain degree in the aecounts presented to the Chamber of Deputies ; and it is certain that the contracts with Ouvrard are so utterly shameless fur thoie concerned, that' the greatest care will be taken to throW a veil over the subject. .But Ouvrard f was an active agent, fin-tile in resourc es , ant i careless i n t h e mode of payment,mtivided payment was made. He has lent the Regency three millions and a halt. already, for they were entirely without resources, As. they were without army and without Consideration and, i they had n o t g i ven up t h e d ut i es would have put a hasty • one union to the t y r a nny o f the Rd of the oci ro i at M a d r id, the opulace of that kin g -l o ving city, geney, by measuring its members. The subscription which we some time ago stat ed to be opened at Madrid, for QUZSEDA'S band, appears to have been very unproductive. The partisans of absolute poweri thotigh willing enough to proie their loyally by robbing, ap pear to have nothing , to give for the support of their cause. The Gazette complains that 44 this " meritorious division ivhich has rim& 'such 44 great sacrifices to restore to Spain her reli gion, her K ing, and her tranquillity, is no lOn'ger " enabled to continue its efforts, in cot sequence " of its being naked and destitute of eyery tuna cg of equipment." It is then said-0 With the 44 greatest joy of our hearts we see the inhibit " ants hasten to succAr this division, as far " and even farther than their Means permit ; 44 but ire also with horror perceise that many 0; who offered the Jacobin faction every kind 44 of personal and pecuniary service, now 46 either refuse with haughtiness, or even with cc score to assiit those worthy Spaniards; or, if " they give any. thing, It seems to be for the I,!nr " pose Of rendering more public their insole4e and Ti contemptuous rudeness."
