1 I From the Pilate of Yesterday.) IMPORT OF MARSHAL DUKE. OF REGGIO. MADRID, Aua..,21. runna has submitted to Ms command.— llow happens it that the Regenciitself had not apprized the Duke of REclato of this important fact?_ The intelligence must have been compara tively old, before it reached Gen. llocritcx, and swas by him transmitted to Madrid ! There is no explaining these mysterious circumstances.—We fear that Corunna has entered into a capitula tion of some sort; but wu must wait for further authentic information before its nature can be ascertained. The following are extracts from the papers re ceived by Express : MADRID, AUG. 20.—His Royal Highness the Duke d'Angouleme arrived at Port St. Mary on the 16th. We have received news in this capital of some disagreeable affairs having taken place at Bilboa and Vittoria. People speak of the approaching return to Madrid of his Royal High ness the Prince Generalissimo. On the 16th of this month the Authorities of Talaveyra de la Reyna set off for Madrid, as well as several ecclesiastics and a great num ber of. Royalists, who abandoned their homes. Lopez Banos having passed the bridge of Al marus with 400 cavalry and 800 foot, Colonel Amon 'has also p•lssed the bridge of Ar zobispo with 400 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, which, with _the reinforcements they have re ceived, makes the numbers of the Constitution alists, in that quarter, 4,000. But as there are at Toledo 2,000 French, and two pieces of can non, there is no fear that the Spaniards will come near the Capital. We learn from our Correspondent at Madrid, of the 20th of this month, , that the Duke Infan tado set off on the 19th for Port St. Mary, ac companied by the Minister for , Foreign Affairs. His journey is attributed to several causes: ac cording, to some persons, it is owing to the troubles which have taken place at Saragossa, Vittoria, and other places, in which the French Authorities have been obliged to have recourse to arms, in order to execute the decree o•f the Duke of Angouleme. It is reported at Madrid that a project for an ai-ran ; zement was signed on the 17th by the Infant Den Carlos, and two Deputies of the Cortes (Members of the Permanent Deputation of that Assembly), and a French General bearing full powers from his Royal highness the Com mander-in-Chief. The foundation of this Con vention, which contains 20 articles, is the recog nition of the Sovereign power in the King, and in two Estates, or Legislative Chambers. We have had before our eyes a copy of the aboie aCt,'but we shall not as yet give it to the public, because we imagine that news of such importance would have been announced by the telegraph to Government. _ _ [Prone the Eluile of Thursday.l (11Y AY EXTII,9IIDINAILY COURIR.) GRAND HEAD QUARTERS. Port St. Mary, Aug. 18. • On the 18th August the Duke of Angouleme reviewed the whole of the line which surrounds Cadiz and the Isle of Leon, accompanied by his Etat-Al ajo r. Port St. 3lary, A. 19. His itoyal Highness sent in a flag of truce, M. de la Ifitte, bis Aide-de-Camp. This officer was received with great demonstrations of joy. It is difficult not to have great hopes of affairs being settled. But when the time allowed by the Prince shall have expired ) all is ready , for a gene ral attack. M. THE MARSHAL—GeneraI Bon rck sends sue an account, of the 17th of this month, that Count Carthagena has , sent one of his officers to the Regency, to announce to them that the garrison of Corunna has submitted to his command, and the conditions on which the place is to open its gates. I have received the same advice from General Morino. It is pro bable, at the moment I am writing to your Excel lency, that our troops occupy Corunna. NEWS FROM SPAIN. M'Auttm, AVG. 22.—The detachments which were sent out of Madrid, under the orders of General Urbal, have returned. They scoured the borders of the Tagus, without having met any of the enemy's corps, which were said to he in the neighbourhood of Madrid. All is quiet at Madrid. EXTRACT OF A RrpORT FROM THE MINISTER OF MA RINE. "I have sent you an account of the orders I have given to the Commandants of the frigate La Gucniera, and the frigate Galuthee, to take their stations before Algesiras and Tariffa, to force those two places to submit to the authority of Ferdinand V 11. PORT ST. MARY, AUG. 18,-111 the people of Cadiz believe that affairs are approach. ing to .an end. The King also anticipates his speedy deliverance. A letter of the 15th states that the Count Puebla had received orders from the King to proceed to San Lucar, to pre pare the means for his Majesty's coming to that place, as after a few hours of his freedom, his Majesty wishes to embark.— Athough there is great danger in passing the bar, his Majesty prefers going by water rather than traverse the Isle where he received so much insult, in his journey to Cadiz from San Lucar. The King, it is said, will go by water to Seville. Without taking any repose, be will proceed to Madrid. (Postscript to the Etoil .) We have received fresh news, dated Villa franca, Aug. 22, which we hasten to publish. The enemy continue their retreat: On the I9th they were at Tarrega ; on the 22d our troops took position to the right of Montblanch, and to the left of Tarragressa. Marshal Moncey will continually harrass the enemy. The Cortes, before they separated and named the Permanent Deputation, brought forward the question, if they should receive propositions in case they were offered ; 86 members were for it, and only 16 against it. French Rentes, 03f.; Spanish, 43. We learn from the French Papers that hi; Grace the Duke of Wct.r.►xc:•rov has arrived in Belgium. CITY, One o'clock.—Consols opened this morn. ing at 83 for the account, and 82ii for money.— Up to this hour they are 831- for the account, and 82-1 for money. FOR EIGN LT.—Great confusion took place this morning in the above market on the arrival of the Jamaica Mail. The Papers, which are up to the 23d July, do not contain any news; bat the private letters contain official accounts from the Congress of Colombia, of great interest, and which were immediately read in the above market. The intelligence is as follows : " That the executive power have reported to the Congress, on the subject of the Columbian Loan, and that the Congress have decreed, " Ist, That the power which the late Minister Mr. ZE.t, was authorized to exercise, was of a political nature, and not of a financial one ; and that by negotiating for a loan of two millions, he had exceeded his authority, and that therefore the Loan and Debentures which he had contract ed and issued are declared null and void. 44 2d, The Government acknowledge the ser vices received from persons in Europe, during their long contest, and therefore tl u are in honour bound to pay the amount of their debts for value received. C 6 3d, They willappoink Commissioners to liqui date their debts, for which they will issue Bonds or Debentures." Owing to the above information, Colombian Bonds fell this morning 151 per cent. They opened at 68f and went , dOwn to 52, got up to 53, and are now 49, with a heavy Market. We understand that the Contractors of the Colombian Loan received this morning, by the Jamaica mail, from Mr. JONES, their Agent at Bogota, an account of a vote relative to the Loan, which had passed the Chamber of Representa tives at Bogota, and had been transmitted to the Senate, where it-remained under consideration. Mr. JONES, in transmitting this paper, writes as follows You will observe that the preamble of the first clause wholly disavows Mr. ZcA's authority and proceedings ; but the second ar ticle contains a full and perfect recognition of the Debt." COUNT BETTER A.—The Privy Council, we un derstand, met this day to hear the appeal of this person. Lord LIVERPOOL, Lord BEXLEY, the Marquis of HraTrim% Lord BERESFORD, and other Members, were present. The Count, it is said, spoke about half an hour, chiefly complain ing of the ill-treatment which he had received from Prince EsuituAzy. It is understood to have been decided, that he shall leave the king dom. Yesterday Sir HERBERT TAYLOR held a levee, as Secretary to the Commander-in-Chief, at his office in the Horse Guards. A new Banking Company is about to be esta blished in the Port of Sunderland ; and it is said that the parties are in treaty for the purchase of the Quakers' old Meeting-house in the High street, which is to be sold in consequence of the new Meeting-house in Nile-street having been opened. THE YOUNG GREEK L.tny.—A Parisian Cor respondent assures us that the heroine of one of the most extraordinary recitals of seduction and de sertion, to use the mildest terms, is now at Paris, where she is the object of universal sympathy and esteem, and is courted by persoiss of the first distinction in that capital. No provision has, it appears, been made for her by the family chiefly interested in the suppression of tier me moirs. We are glad to find that no imputations have been thrown upon her character, and that her conduct since the original transgression has been such as fully to justify the countenance which she has obtained. The remains of Sir It. Wxr.sox's Lady were yesterday morning interred in Westminster Ab bey. A hearse, three mourning coaches, and a private carriage, formed the funeral cavalcade. b, 1 1..

His Royal Highness continued at Eastbourne all night, anti returned before dinner yesterday. His Royal High ness. it seems, will not leave us for London anti Belvoir Castle until about the middle of the ensuing week. It is probable that the Royal Duke, instead (as originally intended) of taking the field against the feathered tribe on the Ist of S e pt em be r , owing to the backwardness of the hvrvest, procrastinates his participation in the seasonable sports, as an example to others, and which, for the benefit of the agriculturist and the husband. man, we trust will be generally influential. —Count Lieven left the Royal Yo r k Hotel this morning, but returns in a day or two Countess anti Count George remain there.— When the King will once more honour and enliven this town with his presence, is not as yet precisely known ; it has given much satisfaction to this town, front indisputable authority to learn that his Alaiesty is in the happiest enjoyment of health and spirits.

The deck was chalked very appropriately with nau tical emblems.

AN ODE ON THE RELIEF OF LONDONDERRY, $T TUE AUTHOR OF THE NEW "DERRIANA," "ANNALS OF 'IRELAND," &C. Written on the Morning l'Angutt 12, at Londonderry. Ata—" Erin go Bragh." O'er proud Londonderry " the Red Flag is waving, The old badge of Freedom gay floats on the breeze," And far down the Foyle-banks the joy.notg is raving, While the lo u d s h out ' s return'd from the hills and the seas; Grown dear, doubly dear, when proud foemen revile us, And with foul imputation attempt to defile us, And Monks, Whigs, and " Bondsmen," combine to beguile us Of the rights and the freedom our ancestors won. We hail this bright day to our comfort returning, Which our fathers reliev'd in the depth of their woe, When the trenches abandon'd, their tents quickly burning, From these walls fled abash'd and confounded the foe : Melodious the bells in our high steeple ringing, Their tribute of joy to our festival bringing, Swell the deepoto un d mg chorus of thous a nds a ll singing Our song to " The Memory of William the Great." The deeds once display'd here, and often related In fancy's fair vision, recur to our sight ; Here Welder harangued, David Cairnes debated, And Murray, great Murray, rushed forth to the fight ; On that field near the strand, where, all calm and unheeding, The herds tend their flocks, on the green herbage feeding, Pusignian the valiant lay mounded and bleeding, And gallant M aumont felt the cold hand of death. Oh ! shades of our sires, in the ides of December, Your contest for Liberty sacred began, And your triumph in August our sons will remember, While valour and truth shall be valued by man : The bigot may stare—the .Jacobin wonder, The rebel with malice and rage burst asunder, But to-day shall our fortress resound with the thunder 'That called forth a Brunswick to rule on our throne.

THE BATTLE OF IMARATIIONe—In this memo. I rable action, between the Athenians, whose army, commanded by Aliltiades, consisted of about 20,000 men, and the Persians, under Darius, WiIOSO force consisted of 100,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, the Persians were defeated. By this defeat of the enemy, the Athenians delivered their country from a foreign yoke ; and Hippies being slain, they recovered their liberty about 80 years after they had been deprived of it by Pisis• trains, and in the year before Christ 490. THE BATTLE OF TIMMOPYL .-111 this battle, Leonidas, with 300 select Spartans, disputed the passage wills 20,000 of the enemy, till by the su perior number of the Persians, they were over powered , and fell amongst vast heaps of tl►e slaugh tered enemy, an unexampled instance of bravery ! Xerxes, though he had forced his passage through the Straits of Thern►opyla", was more inclined to push his fortune by sea. In his enterprize he was also bravely resisted, in Euluea. But notwith standing the singular intrepidity and vigour of the Grecians, both by sea and land, Xerxes, three months after his passage into Europe, made him self master of Athens, and laid it in ashes. These storms were' soon blown over, and the Grecians, under, Themistocles and Aristides, obtained a complete victory over the Persian fleet, at Sa lamis, ass island near the coast of Attica. In this battle Darius passed the Hellespont with a prodigious army, over a bridge of• boats, and repassed it, a fugitive, in a fishing boat. The Persian army, under their General Mardonius, was defeated at the battle of Maim', in the year before Christ 47% In this battle the bravest of all the Persian generals was killed : had he been properly supported, he would probably have► sub jected Greece to the Persian dominion. Ills death may therefore be regarded as the greatest event in the annals of liberty. By this victory Greece was freed from the invasion of an army, which for two years had overrun their country, and Athens was again restored to her ancient government and renown.

[From a New York Paper of the 30th kit.] The following are the particulars of the cap ture of a piratical schooner off Matanzas, by the United States barges Gallinipper, Capt. Watson,. and Musqadoe, Lieut. Inman : On the sth of July the barges returning from a cruise to the westward ? fell in with the pirate coming out of Jiguapa bay, distant thirteen leagues from Matanzas. At first. she was supposed to be a patriot privateer, and the barges being short of provisions determined to speak to her and obtain' si supply. On discovering their intention, the pirate roundetto, discharged her long gun, and hoisted the bloody flag. The barges immediately gave chase, when the pirate stood up the bay, anchored in shoal water with springs on her cables, and prepared for action, occasionally firing at them ; when at the distance of 80 yards, discharged her long gun, arid at the distance of 30 yards, gave a full round of musketry without effect. The bargemen then discharged their muskets, gave three cheer*, and prepared to board; at this moment the pirates alt jumped into the water, when a great slaughter took place-27 dead were counted, and five were taken prisoners by the bargemen, an eight by a party of Spaniards on shore; others must have sunk without being observed, and none are known to have escaped. Thi s sc h ooner was former ly' a coaster between Ma tanzas and Havannah, had been taken by the pirates and carried into Jiguapa Bay to fit out, and was starting on her first cruise at the time of her capture. She was a fast sailer, nounted one long 9, amidships, on a pivot, and two four-pounders,; had a crew of about fifty men, commanded by the well.known " Little Devill," so called from his small stature and cruelty. He was killed. The two barges together had twenty-eight men. The prize arrived ut 'Matanzas on the 7th, and sailed on the 10th of July for Key West,- with her prisoners. 'rite barges lost none, killed, wound e d, or m i ss i ng ; and the affair took place on the same ground where the gallant Allen fell about one year since. A barge which the pirates had stolen was alongside the schooner, and was also captured. MERCANTILE Sill !TING.
