But the Chief, Bessieres; commanding a Royalist Spanish corps; though he had been for lame days in communication with the division of Obert, and consequently knew that the French army was not to he under the walls of Madrid till the 24th, advanced to it ; already on the 20th one of his detachments even penetrated to ..the centre of the city, while the main body of his troops re mained at the Alcala gate. His presence created much agita . tion among the people, and numerous groups assembled. ." The Constitutional GeneTal Zayaa, commander of the corps left at Madrid, immediately went to meet the Royalist General ilessieres, and made him acquainted with the verbal convention that had been just concluded ; but the latter insisted on having the several gates of the city delivered up to hini ; and part of the population manifesting an intention to second the entrance of the Itoyfilist troops, a pretty smart engagement ensued; in which Bessteres, having been charged by the cavalry of 'loyal, left in his power a hundred prisoners; he had but few killed and wounded, but there were about forty victims of his imprudence among the lower class, who had united to sup port him. As soon as his Royal Highness was informed of this affair he hastened to send to Madrid Colonel de la Chasse-Visigny of tbe Staff, to obtain correct information of the result, of the state of the city, and the means necessary to be taken to prevent' Oesh misfortunes. nispresence produced the ',eat effect, as it announced the near arrival of the French troops. In fact, the vanguard of the Corps de Reserve, which was the nearest, ap proached Madrid, and as the measures to be taken for the TVA citation of the city could not be completed till yesterday even• j in g, the vanguard entered this morning at five o'clock, and immediately occupied the ,several gates. A brigade of the divi. sion of Obert has also entered this morning, es well as the new Local Authorities nominated by the Provisional Junta of Go. vernment ; and his Royal Highness, with all the other troops, will be m-morrow in the capital of Spain.

GERONA, MAY 23.—General Donnadieu is at Manreza. The enemy, to the number of one thousand men and one hundred and fifty horses, first appeared disposed to defend himself in this 'position, but he soon afterwards took to flight. General La Roche' Aymon ptirsued him in the direction of Monishol de Mont Serrat, killed about 15 of his men, and took several prisoners. Mina quitted Moya on the 2ist, at three o'clock in the morning ; he proceeded succes sively to Castel Tersol, St. Felin tie Godina, Caldas, 'Parma, Sabbadelli, and San Cugat.

PUYCEUDA, MAY 18.=----A traveller from Bar. celona, which he left on the 13th, in the even. ing, gives a dreadful picture of all the horrors committed in that city, which has now become the refuge of the most violent Constitutionalists of the Provinces. They continue to shoot the priests, the monks, and persons of the most ele -vated rank; =4OOO men are constantly employed in widening the ditches and making palisades.— The same traveller gives further details of the tragical death of the Bishop of Vich. This pre late, after having long remained confined in the Citadel of Barcelona, was tried in the beginning of April, and declared innocent. Passports were given to him and to two F,'"celesiastics of his suite 6to go to Tarragona.' On'wiring at Ordalt, six leagues from Barcelona, his carriage was stopped by the post stationed there, and the travellers ordered to alight. The Bishop immediately showed his passport to the.,Captain of the Post, who, after reading it, drew a pistol from his pocket, and killed him. He did the same to the two Ecclesiastics, who expired on the lifeless body of their Prelate. MAY t is reported this morning, that the division of Paul Miralhes lad been attacked by a superior force and by cavalry (said to have come from Lerida), between Cervera and Calaf, and that Miralhes was .killed, after performing prodigies of valour. It is added that Miralhes had only 600 men With him, the rest being at Solsona. We have the hope that this news will not be confirmed. PERPIGNAN; MAY 20.—The engagements of tirailleurs, which take place from time to time between the garrison of Figueras, are occasioned by sallies, the object of which is to procure vege tables. On the 18th, in the evening, there was a pretty lively cannonade to support a sally, effected partly towards Figueras, partly on the side of Llers. Those that had advanced towards the town, after a fire of musketry, which con, tinned a considerable time, retreated upon the fort, for two squadrons had been sent to cut them off, but without/success. The head-quarters remain at Gerona, from which the Marshal has been absent two`days to go to Vich. The war, us it is now carried on in Catalonia, causing our troops great fatigue, maker them detest the name of it and the Generals under him. Marches and - countermarches are, indeed, not calculated to satisfy those who have already traversed the same countries with arms in their bands ; and . the soldiers lat'ely enlisted would prefer, without hesitation, a serious en- . gagement ; but hitherto they have not been able to overtake the enetny Scarcely have they arrived in a place which is said to be occupied by Mina, when they learn that he is somewhere else. ---(From the Journal of Toulouse.) . [From the Pilote of' Friday.) - PARIS, MAY 29.—We are aston►shed that the Journal des Debuts, whiCh yesterday gave us, with a truly remarkable confidence, the news of an understanding existing between Generals Abii hal, Ballasteros, and Morillo, and which contra dicts with no less certainty all that has beet► said by the Constitutional. Journals on the conse quences of the inconsiderate step of the Governor of Madrid, should not be better Wenn ed respecting the events that really have taken place in that Capital. We have the following accounts in.a letter of.. the 18th:-- " After violent altercations with the officers of the corps un der his command, A bisbal, abandoned by his troops, was forced to lay down the command, which was transferred to General Castel-de-los-Rios, late Governor of Catalonia, and one of the men most decidedly in favour of the Constitution. • " It was affirmed at the departure of the courier, that Abis bal had been arrested. The object of his letter was to sound the public opinion, but not a single voice was raised in his favour. " In an action which the Royalist Chief, 31iralhes, had to maintain with the troops which came from Lerida, he was completely defeated, taken prisoner, conveyed to Cervera, and put to death. " Santander and Ililbea are uncovered, and exposed to a coup-de-main of Campanillo, or the Pastor. " General Sir Robert NI"Ilson is organizing battallems in _ _ " There is an intention of reinforcing the corps of General Donnadien which hits suffered in 'the late engagements. " The garrison of Pampeltina makes frequent sallies. • Front the Journal der Dc'tatt Friday.i PArtis MAY 29.—The Council of the Indies and the Council of Castile assembled at Madrid on the 24th, and on the 25th they nominated the Regency, which is to govern Spain during the captivity of the King. This Regency is com posed of five Members, viz.:—The Duo del Wanted°, President of the Council of Castillo ; the Dun de Montemar, President of the Council of the Indies ; the Bishop of Osma ; Baron d'Erolas, Member of the Regency ,of Urgel ; and M: Calderon, Member of the Provisional Junta, who accompanied the Doke of Augou leme to Madrid. The Council of the Indies exercises the same power over the provinces beyond the seas, as the Council of Gastille ovor' Old Spain. We may observe in this choice, asd iu these combinations, as much good sense as ability. The effect will be immense. GERONA, MAY 25.—Yesterday, the 9. Ith, at two o'clock in the morning, the enemy having concentrated his forces, attacked the forces of General Curial, at Mataro ; our'brave men were soon under arras, and the enemy, vigorously charged amidst cries of 64 Vive le itoi!" was driven from position to position, quite to the walls of Harcelona.—Durinv, the action the constitu tional General Llobera was wounded, and the enemy left the field of battle covered with killed and wounded.—This morning a standard, taken from the enemy, was brought to the Marshal by Baron Connet de Larrey, Captain of the Staff, who was in the action.—The Marshal, Com mander-in-Chief, is setting out this moment ; he will be at Mataro to-morrow—" Vive le Rol." P. S.—The port of Barcelona is blockaded by a French squadron ; that city is not in a condi tion to make a long resistance. Internal divi sions and want of provisions are two enemies that already act for us. During the whole action which took place on the sea-shore, our squadron kept up a constant destructive fire on the Con stitutionalists.

The garrison of Pampeluna make sallies from time to time, but all its advantages are confined to the carrying of some posts j which were not sufficiently oil their guard. We have above 4,000 men before St. Sebastian, which is thought a sufficient force against the 3,000 men in that place. " It seems that sonic of our troops have retired from Sammie and Saint Andero.

BAYONNE, MAY 21. 7 Areport is current here that hn Eng lish Cabinet Messenger, dispatched by -the Ambassador Sir A'Court, has been stopped nearthe head-quarters of the French army, by a Swiss Colonel, who took the liberty of open ing the dispatches. The ooMplaints made by the .messenger of this act of violence have produced an excuse that the Colonel, not understanding the language spoke by the bearer of the die: patches, he might suppose they were addressed to him, and it was not till he 'opened them that he discovered his error. The messenger demanded a certincate.of the delay he had experi enced, and of the reason of it. It;should seem that the Americans are disposed to assist Spain ; a schooner of the United States, laden with provisions, having been on the point of entering the harbour of . St. Sebes tian, when it was hindered by the French ships cruising:before that place, induced it to retire. This vessel has now en tered our port. A report has been spread by a person here, who says he has received news of the surrender of Pampeluna , but this individual is so well known for his excessive cerdulity; that we must have better avthority before we believe that a place like Pampeluna has surrendered without being regularly attacked. It seems that measures are taking to put our city with all speed in a state of defence, and that the garrison is going to be increased, for workmen are very actively engaged in' the barracks, avid the prisoners confined in the new Castle which they have always oCcupied, are ordered to be removed to the fort of Dax, which has been prepared for their reception. Letters from Santander Says, that the 35th regiment of the line, which entered that place on the 20th, had suddenly quit. ted it, to go to Santnna, the garrison of which still threatens to make sallies ; it is apprehended that this regiment, not .being very strong, will hardly be able to keep the garrison In check. ` _ it is reported that a Richness of a serious description has ma. nisted itself canting the garrison of St. Sebastian, in consequence of the want of water, which begins to be felt. This news re quires confirmation.

They are dated . from Seville, and say that KingTerdinand and the Queen bore the journey from, Madrid to Seville perfectly well, and that their health has derived benefit from the air of Anda lusia. We learn that the Ministers of the Great Powers residing in Switzerland have successively made to the Swiss Diet corn. munications of some importance, in consequence of which it has'sent circular letters to the Governments of the most con siderable Cantons. such as Argovia, Geneva, Vaud, Hale, &c., to recommend to them the greatest attention to any thing rela tive to the Press, to 'secret end to the superintenil ance of foreigners who have cone to seek an asylum in Switzer. land. These strangers , ' especially the Italian refugees, seem especially to have excited . the attention of Austria, and of ano ther PoWer of the North. The several Cantonal authorities have thought fit on this occasion to place these foreigners under a stricter superintendanee than they have hitherto been, but they have formally declared that the existing laws reletive,to indi vititial liberty shall be respected, and that consequently no.ar. rest shall take place, unless in consequence of the bad'conduct of individuals who should expose themselves to the severity from the local authorities.

Sarritxa, Arittr..l.l.,—A great number of volunteers have arrived here from the interior of Asia Minor; some of them are to serve in the navy—the others, who are the most nume. rous, to take.part in the expedition which is preparing against Samos. The inhabitants of that island affect great confidence ; they have taken such measures as they may judge necessary to frustrate any attempts which the Turks may mike to land. 14.--Eigbteen Bayrecks, or companies of fifty men each, have left this city for Constantinople. Independently of the nine hundred Turks, whom the city has furnished, the Captain Padre demands three hundred Greeks or Armenians, subjects of the Sultan, to serve in the army. A great 'number of the volunteers from the Interior, a part of whom have already been sent ,away, teem to wait for the sailing of the Ottoman fleet, to proceed to the place they have in vie*. In general their language, and the sentiments they express, show that Samos is the prey that they .court. They think that the mili tary operat i ons w ill co mmenc e with t h e at tack of that island, and the image of Scio pillaged, burnt, de luged with blo o d, and enslaved, irritates their cupidity and their impatience. • They indulge in the most 'flattering hopes, and would give to time swifter wine to hasten the moment when they shall be able to shed hostile blood, to carry off women, and to amass riches. The catastrophe of Scio has been more fatal to the Turks whom it has demoralised, than to the Greeks whom it ex terminated. A corps of volunteers, of about 100 Men, has ar rived at Kirckagach, three days journey from our city. They intended to come here, and their commander had preceded them, but lie has been infortned that he would not be admitted without a firman from the Sultan. There are a great number of persons collected together at one place. without having been called for, who have abandoned agriculture, industry, and the labours of peace, attracted by hopes of booty, perhaps illusory. These volunteers, it is said, come from the remote fr ontiers of Natalia. As they were much nearer to another theatre of war, they wou Id have done much better to go that way, if they had had a mind to signalise their courage in a manner advantageous to their country.

That of corresponding to such exalted sacrifices, by surpassing them In our own-persons, inasmuch as. ours is the geatet interest. Let us redouble our efforts, for we shall do nothing but perform our duty : the law demands it : the honour of the nation will be thereby upheld, and we shall from the very moment lay the foundation of our happiness. Away with egotism : let us take for an example this deserving Englishman, who assumes so active a part in our salvation ; and let us avoid incurring opprobrium and ignominy by not paying proper attention to him. Shall- we abandon the country to the mercy of oppressors, and that too without the hope of ever being able to obtain such friends, as perhaps they might never more turn their eyes on us with compassion ?

" Corunna s May 12,1823." SPEECH or HIS EXCELLENCY SIR ROBERT WILSON. " Spaniards Soldiers of Artillery, of the National Militia, of Volunteers, of Butgos, of Ferrol, of Arragon, and of San tiago !—After all the distinguished honours, after all the friendly, nay, more than friendly, the fraternal congratulations' which I have received in every place, and more recently in this town, it appears but just that you should learn my sentiments, opinions, and views, through the medium of my own voice, in order that you may be able to judge and know if I am a worthy son of my adopted country, and if I am a worthy defender of Spanish liberty. You expect no eloquence, gentlemen ; but my genuine sentiments which are those of the .British nation whose representative I am ( cuyo repress:dank soy), ren. der it unnecessary fot me to employ eloquent language. The English people are firmly unit e d in f avour o f S pan i s h inde pendence: 'Pile Ministers themselves have in Parliament pro claimed the justice of the Spanish cause—have extolled the heroic virtues of Spain, and her extraordinary moderation, which, alike glorious and beneficial, has marked the whole progress of her revolution ; they have manifested their indig nation at the alliance, termed by them " the holy." but which we always call and designate by the appellation of the sacrile gious, which has commenced war against this nation to de stroy its liberty, which has excited and fomented civil war, the most cruel and destructive of all warfare, with the view of opening the way to its Janissaries and its executioners, and to procure them a footing in this generous soil—a project which unfortunately hiss met with some success, since we have seen some Spaniards place themselves at the head of the invaders, in order to destroy with parricidal hands the constituti ona l sys . tens, and to make this independent kingdom a tributary pro vince of France, as well as the constitutional king, who as such is really great, only a mere prefect of the Allied Sovereigns. Yes! sonic - misguided and infatuated Spaniards do not discern that the allied tyrants are desirous only to prevent the prospe rity of Constitutional Spain, and her progress in mental im provement. " Providence has placed Spain in the most favourable gen. graphical position in the world for commerce and all its advan tages, and has blessed her with a most salubrious and delicious climate. Why, then, delve behold somuch uncultivated land, so many indigent people, so many persons emigrating to set* a subsistence by means of the most arduous labour ? "Why do we see the most magnificent harbours of Europe without ships? Why does not the Npanisli flag wave on all seas? The Eng lish Admiral, one of the most valiant and skilful seamen who served under Nelson in the war against Spain (then a despotic country), Lord Cochrane,thas repeatedly told me that there arc not in the world more brave and expert mariners than the Spa nish. But nature, industry, and brilliant qualifications have not been sufficient to defend the rights, or ensure the honour and the territory'of Spain, because, up to this moment, general interests have never constituted the ground-work of her politi. cal system. • - " I am speaking in the presence of many that have been in England, and have seen a very rude climate and a soil less fer tile than that of Spain for the purpose of commerce; but they have seen a country more captivating and more happy, because liberty is established there; and we never sleep at our posts, disputing with each other not only the preservation of the free dom we enjoy, but also the augmentation of it, in proportion to the progressive improvement of the British people. " Spaniards and soldiers,—Victory is certain. The perse verance and valour inherent in the Spanish character ensure it. Besides, the cause is also supported by a Cortes really the re presentatives of the nation; by officers the most distinguished for their talents, such as Mina s 13allasteros, lUorillo , Abisbal, and Quiroga ; by the most eminent patriots ; and, above all, by the remembrance of the marytrs who have sacrificed their lives to preserve the triumph of that cause. Spain po s sesses more strength than she needs; she wants only the organization and discipline of her raw troops : the supplies which the free men of England will place at her disposal will be more than sufficient to defray the expences of the war. There are many such free men not only in England, but all over Europe, who long to participate in the glory of this struggle, and are most solicitous to join the valorous Spaniards, with the view to clear' their sod of the ignominious persecution of its invaders, who, in waging this war, are at the same time fighting against their own country. " I have this morning read, for the first time, the Manifesto of the King of Spain, who, speaking like the Constitutional King of this gallant nation, says—' Spaniards ! to arms, the voice of honour calls, national glory demands it, and your safe. ty makes it necessary s to arms, for the dignity of my crown to arms, for the independence of all.' Let us then exclaim, in honour of the Constitution a l King and of the independent na tion—The King for ever ! The Nation for ever !" " Corunna, May 12, 1823." " ROBERT WILSON."
