" Mattrid, Aug. 24. " MONSIELIII. LE MAnsnAL—Colonel Marquis •Rochedragoit, commanding the Cuirassiers de !terry, of the division Roussel d',Urbal, informs me that in the evening of the 18th inst. be ett , countered the Partisan Chief D. Francisco Abade Chaleco, with , about 240 horse, near the village -of. Puebla del Principe he charged and entirely .routed them, after they had sustained consider able loss. " The next day, the 10th inst., Colonel Cha lec.o and Lieut.-Colonel Jose Fellez requested an interview with Colonel Rochedragon. Ile was convinced that they would acknowledge the Re gency, and that all hostilities would cease. "This affair does great honour to the Marquis de Rochedragon, and proves that the Cuirassiers have never failed., during the whole campaign, to distinguish themselves on all occasions, and main tain their former reputation. " The Marshal commanding the First Corps, " Due de ItLUGIO." tProm the Joureal del DeOats.l Our Correspondent at L'Orient informs us, that the Alga siras, a man of war of 84 guns, was launched on the 21st, amidst the cries of nue le Rai [From the Courier Frattecais.l "rhe most Important act of French authority in the Penin sula is undoubtedly the Ordinance of Andujar, which, how ever, has been least'spoken of by the Ministerial Journals. The most circumspect of them do not say one word of it; those must decidedly fanatic only speak of it sometimes, and with blame. Thus, yesterday a paper contained the following ab surd phrase We have lately seen with some pain that the french Government has taken some measures, but little in htitainny with our usual policy." These measures having nn other object but to preve.it arbitrary arrests, this is as nisei: as to say, that this Journal formerly saw with pleasure caresses and vengeance which then desolated the Penin sula, and that our usual policy tends to favour such a system. It is difficult to put into two lines more absurdity. The Jour. mils of the South are less reserved than those of Paris, and we art indebttatto them for the knowledge that the Regency have opposed the prudent regulations of the Prince, that the diplo. thistle body's discontented with them, and that there have been violent disturbances occasioned by ie execution of the Ordi. ranee of Andujar, at Bilboa and Vittoria. The Memorial Ilardetaiv contains some further particulars on this subject. -If these facts are correct, it is natural to inquire if the Ordi. mince of Andujar has been repealed by any subsequent Ordi nance, or if the Regency has decided that there is no occasion t pay attention to it, and give the necessary orders; or if the French Generals have been authorised to act as they might un derstand it, in the places under their orders.. Without having any regard to the Ordinance of August 8, withotit giving the preference to either of these suppositions, we shall only remark, that, if the Memorial lturdelais is not imposing on its readers; a irreat alteration is to he made in the instructions given to the French Commanding Officers. A General who lied caused the Alexi& of Vittoria to be,arrested, in order to preverithim froth arresting more persons; now offers to support him in executing these arrests. ( From Ike CoMitiitionnel. ) hi ram to, A u O. Exit-sets qf Private Letters.l—" The report is spread that treaties are on foot' with the Cortes, and that a Constitution, with Two eiximbers, similar to that of England, is to be established. But can the will of the King be known before he is liberated from his gaolers and surrounded by Ida faithful subjects ? Will he not reject the projects of the Revolutionists who have Iniulual and deposed him ? 'Will he disgust the Royalists to oblige the party that ought to be op prelscd, and Which has done so much mischief to the 'King anti the nation These questionis merit a close examina tion. The tranquillity and, the ,liberty of the King cannot be established without reducing the revolutionary party to a complete nullity; and we therefore do not believe the reports in circulation. • - " Bunoos, Aug. 19.—The Liberals have laboured with ex traordinary activity to sow dissension between the French and the„floya,lists.. With this view they have spread the following reports. Till the Kin is set at liberty, Spain is to be milita rily governed without the interference of the Regency, or of theßpanish Authorities A treaty of peace is to be concluded with the Cortes, and every thing which they have done up to July, 1822,' will he sanctioned. On these conditions the King at be set at These false reports calumniate the' French rinrcrn, nfebt and'the Cabinets of Europe, which have proposed to de rerolutiOn in Spainiand have no need oerefitation. It is clear That these are the means employed by the French and English Journals of the faction , . and put forth by the secret committee for revolutionizing Europe. At the epoch of the invasion, these journals, which would not believe that the Spaniards would pronounce in favour of the most just of causes, were all against the invasion. Now convinced of the contrary, they desire interference in order that the revolution not being entirely put down; they may carry it on still to their advantage. Vruo, A Ito. 11.—General Morino entered San Jam Corn postella on the • 3d of this month. Two days before he was joined by the brigade of Larochejacquelin at Pontevedra, he received a courier Irani :sir Robert Wilson, to announce that he himself was coming in person to submit propositions of great importance. General Morillo immediately dispatched an aide de-camp to meet Wilson, to say that he could not, on any ac, count, receive him, and to require that he should turn back. The aide-de-camp met, just before he reached the bridge of St. Payo, two light horseman, then two infantry soldiers, afterwards the aide-de-camp of Nilson, and at last Wilson himself. lie was mounted on a small mule, with a woman's saddle; his feet supported on a piece of wood, and a leather strap round his neck, held his wounded leg ; one man led the mule 'oy the bridle, another supported him by the arm, and a third carried his crutches. It was with this equipage that W i lson aet out upon his expedition to settle the destiny of Spain with the Count de Carthagena. The aide_de.camp signified to him the order of his General, to which he with difficulty submitted ; he then said that he had commanded in the affair before Corunna, that he had been wounded, and that he was suffering . 'greatly ; lastly, he assured the aide-de-camp that General Mordle might attack the bridge, but that he would not find there such' soldiers as had guarded it when .he forced it a few days before. In fact, General Palarea had fortified the passage of the bridge San Payo , . which is naturally a very strong position, in such a manner that it could not be forced without great loss. VrrTonra, AUG. 21.—The discussions which existed be tween the French and Spanish authorities are terminated, to the great satisfaction of the town an& the whole province. The Deputy-General and his Alcade have been set at liberty :, it is known that the Regency and the diplomatic corps deeply interested themselves in their situation, as soon as an extraor dinary courier had reached Madrid with the intelligence of their arrest. The Prince de Ilohenlohe yesterday caused it to be signified to the Deputy-General, that he should oppose no ob stacles to his decisions, and he would aid him with his troops whenever the Revolutionists were to he arrested. The Etoi!e also contains a report, without date, from the Count de Espagne to Viscount de Conchy, stating, that the enemy had been repulsed in two sorties sviiich they had made from the fOrtress of Pampeluna. The Count particularly com mends to the notice of the Prince Generalissimo the valour dis played on these occasions by the officers and soldiers of the 3d Light Infantry French regiment, and of the , . Spanish regiment of the Infantry Don Carlos. DUICEI PAPERS. Fit ANKFOIVI, Auo. 22.--;-We learn from Cassel, that the author at' the anonymous letter, which has made so much noise, and which has produced proclamations from the magis trates of the city,,and numerous researches of the police, still remains undiscovered. Some passages of the letter have been lithographed and distributed, and several persons, whose hand writings appeared to resemble that employed in the letter, have been arrested. One of these was the subaltern -officer named Eichenburg,' who has been before. mentioned. But his inno cence, as well as that of other persons accused, has been prov ed, and they will, doubtless, he immediately set at liberty.— No one ventures to speak of this letter at Cassel, for the most vague allusions suffice to cause the speaker to be summoned to the Police-office, or even arrested. But several persons who have had an opportunity of reading the whole letter in the office of the High Police at Cassel, where it is !leposited, have re lated here, at Frankfort, that the writer, to judge by the style, must be a man above the coninion class, or have received a good education. At least, he writes his native language with purity and elegance. The advice which he gives to the Eledtor is confined to conjuring his highness to behave better for the fu ture to his august Consort (sister to the King of Prussia)—to steal the hereditary Prince from Marburg, where the writer says he is kept in exile—to avoid always appearing in public with the Countess of Reichenbach—and lastly, to convoke the ancient States-General of Hesse, to concert with them the establishment of a constitution, which may secure the rights of the people, and preserve them from arbitrary . AnNUEIVI, AVG. 24.—Baron StrogoinClate Russian Am bassador at Constantinople, arrived here on board a yacht from Frankfort, the day before yesterday, and sailed again yester day morning for Amsterdam. ST. PETERSUUItaiI AUG. 12.—1 t is reported that Lieut.- Gen. Tatischeff will be appointed Minister of Wart he has held the porie-fezeine of that department, ad interim, since the spring. The Persian Ambassador, Mirza Mahommed Saulit, is still here. Seven hundred and four foreign vessels had arrived at Cron stadt up to yesterday, and five hundred and three have sailed. A Committee is named to examine the gold mines on the chain of the Ural Mountains. . STOCKHOLM, Atm. 11—Among other important matters to be discussed by the Diet is the new tariff. The Committee of Taxation has proposed to permit the importation of all fo reign goods, on payment of an adequate duty; and to restrict the importation of goods hitherto prohibited to those towns in which the amount of the duty received is 14,000 dollars. BASLE (SWITZERLAND), AVG. 14.—A pamphlet, enti tled, ‘%. T/te Revolutionary Intrigues in Switzerland," has just appeared at Glaris, which causes an extraordinary sensa tion. The following is a passage in it :—" Yes, the Holy Alliance is too much in the right ; there is in all Europe, there is even in Switzerland, an association of men which has sworn the overthrow of all existing institutions; which, borrowing its forms from the Illuminati and Jesuits, adopts every means, considers every crime as permitted, if it but leads to the end proposed ; which, under the cloak of zeal tbr religion and legi. timacy, seeks to undermine the foundation of both—morality. Yes, there is a Contite Ditcetrur, which sends from Paris its agents to all quarters, which is intimately connected with all those conspiracies which, under the names of Societe drl della Santa Fede, dci etiltlerari, Consistoriall, &c. are endea. vouring to revolutionise Italy, Spain, France, and Switzer land." The author then proceeds to quote several remarkable facts. PRUSSIAN TRAVELLERS.—DIS. EHRENBERG and llcivrealcu, Prussian naturalists, now travelling n Egypt, are not expected, as some journals have stated, to return immediately to Europe. On the contrary, they were, according to the last accounts from them, about to avail them. selves of the assistance afforded by his Ma. jesty for a new expedition. Their plan, as de scribed in a letter dated Suez, June 8, is as follows :—ln the first place to proceed along the coast of the Red Sea, winking their longest halt at Tor and Akuba. They will afterwards embark for Mocco, whence they will make excursions on the coast of Abyssinia and in ha islands situated near Rat) and NoIWO). Hence they mean to proceed to Suakin, and, if circum stances permit, to penetrate again into Nubia and Sennaar, to examine those fertile countries with which they had acquired a slight acquaint ance on their former journey, trut only by skim ming the frontiers, ..They wish to return to Cairo by Cosseyr and Gine!). We have already received from them 30 large packing cases, con taining valuable articles collected during their voyage to Nubia, and which furnish most inte resting information on countries hitherto very little known. What curiosities they have since collected .have-been embarked for Trieste, and we expect to,receive them before the end of the present year. From the researches of these zealous and intelligent travellers, We expect im portant results for the study of natural history and geography.—(Berlin Paper). Letters from Naples mention that four respect able persons were lately arrested in Farther Ca labria; because ,they were suspected of having communication with the Greeks. These arrests have augmented very considerably the general discontent which previously existed there. In spite of this, it would appear to be almost certain that theseunfortuitate people hove been carried before a military tribunal, and sentenced to be executed. LITERARY NOTICE. GRAPHICAL and LITERARY ILLUSTRATIONS of FONTHILL ABBEY, Wiltshire; with Heraldical and Genealogical Notes of the BEcxFo um Family. By JOHN BRITTON, Fellow of the Society of Antiquarians of Lon don, &c. &c. &c. The beautiful mansion to which the present work relates has long been considered as one of the chief modern ornaments of this country. It would seem strange that, after having ex pended a princely fortune in the erection and embellishment of so magnificent a place, the late proprietor should he induced to resign it, if daily experience did not manifest the fleeting nature of all human enjoyments. The place, however, has excited so much notice, that people of all ranks, who could afford means for the journey, have vi sited it, in order to take a farewell view of what will, perhaps, soon be closed to the Public at large.----This object of general curiosity naturally attracted the attention of Mr. BRITTON, and has led to the publication of this elegant and beau tiful work. To those who have not had an op portunity of visiting the spot, it will be pecu liarly acceptable, as it affords a full description o f th e whole, as far as relates to its architectural formation. Those also who have seen its va rious beauties, will feel great pleasure in having their recollections recalled and embodied, as we u may graphic and literary trea sure. which are well exe cuted, ,exhibit the edifice and the surrounding s T s h a e y engraving;, b ytllis scenery in various points of view ; and the beauties of the interior are also represented in a very striking and interesting manner.—lt might be supposed, that as this work was chiefly excited by the notoriety of the subject for some time past, it was brought forward to gratify the fashionable humour of the moment, but, in justice to the Author, it is proper to state, that it is evidently the production of deep re search, laborious industry, accurate science, and refined taste, and it must occupy .a distinguished place among works of the same nature, and be a valuable addition to every public and private collection. ELECTION OF A NEW POPE. Preparations, it appears, are making at Rome for proceeding - to the eleCtion of a new Pope The Constituiionnel gives the following historical account of the mode of election, and of the cere monies observed on that occasion : " The manner of giving, Chief to the Church, has, like other worldly things,"experienced many changes. The four first Popes designated their successors. After them the Clergy of Rome appropriated the right of election to itself. The ' Western Emperors, the'Greek Alonarclis, and the Successors of Charlemagne, afterwards wished to obtain a share in it ; but little by little, the Romans having shaken off their depend ence on the Emperors, ceased to invite their Ambassadors to the election of Popes. The Clergy of RQme then began by degrees to deprive the people of the part which it was used to take in the election, and succeeded in excluding it entirely about the middle of the twelfth century; and thirty-six years after, the Cardinals assumed the right of election exclusively to themselves. As soon as the Holy Father has expired, the Cardinal Chamberlain in a purple dress presents himself at the door of his chamber and "knocks three times with a gold ham mer, calling each time the Pope by his Christian, family, and Papal names. Aftera short time he says in presence of the clerks of the chamber and the apostolical notaries, who take act of that ceremony : "He is then dead." The Fisherman's ring is: then brought to the Cardinal, who breaks it with the same hammer. He then takes possession of the .Vatican in the name of the Apostolic Chamber. After haVing established his authority in that place, he Benda guards to take posses. sion of the gates of the City and of the Castle of St.. Angelo, and when he has provided for the safety of Rome, he quits the Vatican in a carriage, preceded by the Captain of the Pope's guard, and having by his side the Swiss who generally accom pany his Holiness. When this march begins, the great bell of the capital is tolled, and as it only tolls on this occasion, an nounces to the 'whole city the death of the Sovereign Pontiff.— The body having been embalmed, is clad in its pontifical dress, and, with the Mitre on its head, lies in State during three days on a bed of parade. It is next carried with great pomp to the Church of St. Peter's, where it 'remains nine days exposed to public view, after which the burial takes place. The next day the Cardinals assemble in the same Cathedral, where the oldest of them celebrates the mass of the holy Ghoit for the election of a new Pope. Another Prelate in a Latin oration exhorts the Cardinals - to choose an individual worthy of so eminent a station, after which they all march in procession behind the Papal Cross, the musicianisinging the hymn, " Veal, Creator!" to the Hall of Conclave, which occupies a large portion of the Vatican. The large rooms of that Palace are divided by tem porary partitions, into what are called cells, which arc subdi vided _again into little rooms and closets. Every Cardinal has his own, for him, and his assistants, and it is only large enough to hold u bed, five or six chairs, and a table. The hour of holding the Conclave being come, a bell is rung to cause the Ambassa dors, Princes, and Prelates, and other persons of distinction, who flay be present to retire. .When they are all gone out, the doors and 'windnws are walled up, with the exception of one, which throwa but a dim light upon the Conclave. The only communication with the exterior is by the means of tours in the "Same shipe as ilioke used in• Convents" ef Nuns. Ono door is also kept for the, removal of any Cardinal who may be ill, but who loses, the 'eight of giving an active vote, if he retires. The mode of election now in use is by secret ballot. Two Chalices stand on a long table in. the Chapel of Sixtus, into which the Cardinals deposit their Bulletins con taining the name of the individual for whom they vote. One of the Scrutators reads it aloud, whilst two others mark the number of votes for each individual, , by the • side of his name, on the large tablet where all those of the Cardinals are inscribed. Whoever obtains two-thirds of the votes present is canonically elected. Ills name is immediately proclaimed aloud, and the Cardinals sitting on his right and left rise and quit their places. Ills consent is asked, when it is given, the Cardinals, beginning by the oldest, perform the first " adoration ;" that is to say, kiss big foot, and then his band I The first Card* Deacon announces the election to the people, and the artillery of the Castle of St. Angelo and the bells of the city spread the news afar. Tha people are then allowed to break into the Conclave and to carry Wall they can." were gone to Oti Sunday, whilst the family divine service some daring thieves , by means of picklock keys, opened th e 'front door Of Mr. Gillm un 's house, iu Orange-place, Vauxhall road, and stole several articles. In our preceding columns we have given some extracts from the Moniteur and other Paris Pa pers of Saturday, the principal intelligence of which was, however, anticipated by the arrival of our Express yesterday. If any thing more had been wanting to prove the real quality of the French accounts, it would be found in the concluding passage of the Bulletin trans mitted by Major-General Count GuiLLEMINOT, where it is asserted, with the utmost composure, that the French army of Catalonia have obtained brilliant advantages over the Constitutionalists, not only , in 04 siege of Barcelona, but u rn all the a f fairs that have taken place during the campaign !! ! " This is really excellent !—Who can doubt that the Cortes are.the mo't sapid and obstinate of men, now that it has been declared, On the authority of the Duke Ot_4SiGOULEME'S Major-General, that even in Catalonia their troops have uniformly done nothing but yield brillinat advantages to the French ! The Bul. letin is dated on the 19th at Port St. Mary, three days after the arrival of the Prince Generalissimo. So far from saying any thing of negociations, it speaks of the new activity which will be given to the operations a g aint Cadiz, in consequence of the arrival of the reinforcements ! Neither is there a word of expectation that the KING will soon be liberated, or that Cadiz will be speedily delivered up! Alicant and Cartha gena continued to hold out, notwithstanding the orders for their submission, alleged to have been sent to them by BALLASTEROS. Indeed, it is suspected, not without some shew of reason, that the pretended orders of BALLASTEROS to the different garrisons under his command are pure. inventions of the French. Both BALLASTEROS and MoLZroa continue in their former positions, as if an armistice only had been agreed on between those two commanders; and it is even asserted in 'a private letter, that the former is to resume hostilities if in a given time the terms of his proposed capitulation are not ratified by the Cortes. There is no pos sibility of arriving at the whole truth in this matter. One thing only is certain, on the shewing of Count GUILLEMINOT himself, and that is, that the Army of BALLASTEROS has not actually united with the corps, of MOLI TOR, and that on the contrary the continu ance of the latter at Granada would seem to be for no other purpose than that of watching the army of the former ! The story of the' five days" allowed to he Constitutionalists within Cadiz by the Duke d'al tiGOULEME, is now treated with ge neral ridicule. But a new ground of hope has been discovered for the partisans of the French, and Was yesterday adverted to, in the simplicity of his heart, by our City Correspondent. The assailants have made their advances to within istol shot of the Troradero, and after they shall have stormed that fort, they will be able to bombard Cldiz ! As 'for the " five days'," it might almost be thought that there is something ominous in that number as connected with the siege of Cadiz ; for General SAILRAZIN, in his History of the-War in Spain and Portugal, from 1807 to 1814, 8 a..i/ (p. 120), 4 ‘ The French paid dearly for the neglect of five days, as the delay made them lose ,Cadir, ; and this city being then the seat of Government, it ought to have been considered as a focus of patriotism, which would animate the resistance of the pro. vinces against their Conquerors!" With regard to, the Trocadero, the trench had possession of it lit their former memorable siege of Cadiz, without being able to derive from it any important advantage. General SARRAZIN says, (page r 54), that although many courageous sorties were made during the siege, they were ren dered abortive by the superior numbers ot the besiegers, and by the strength of the French redoubts !—" Even In the beginning of October the French batteries were already mounted with above thrpe hundred heavy guns !-7'rocadero, Port Real, and Chielana, were fortified (by the French), with care! Marshal SOULT presided over all these works!" The Duke of ANGOULEME has not the meanS . of attacking Cadiz with the same effect as Marshal. SOULT hatl in the last war !—The fate of Cadiz depends entirely on the Constitutionalists within its walls, and not on the efforts of the enemy without. If the Government, the Cortes, and the garrison, are true to themselves, the French must ntgociate or retreat ! CIL Y, Twelve o'Clock.--This being a Holiday, both the Bank and Stock Exchange are closed ; but the Foreign Market is open, owing ter its being Pay-day in ail Foreign Securities.—l do not hear of any failures in the Foreign Market; but a great deal of accommodation has taken place.

There was a current report in the earlier part of the morning that two Expresses had arrived from Paris, with an account of the Cortes having rejected the terms of the Duke of Abrooutzstz. I Cannot trace the above report to any authentic source. The pub• lic are anxiously waiting the arrival of the next Express from France, which, no doubt, will corn• municate important events. Dispatches, transmitted by an estafetle, by way of Dover, were received this morning at the Fureign Office, Downing-street. Yesterday morning an Italian courier arrived at the Foreign Office, Downing-street, with dis patches from Rome. Letters from Berlin say, that his MAJEPTY in tends visiting the celebrated Baths of Doberan, in Mecklenburg!), prior to the military reviews in autumn. The iron trade in the counties of Salop and Stafford are in the fullest state of activity ; the , prices are low, but the 'demand for the article lexceeds the supply ; and almost every one that can handle a hammer is employed in the nail trade ; the population are contented and happy, yet many of our workmen from the furnaces are enticed over to France, with a promise of higher wages, but the climate and living does not agree with the English constitution. Some of the men have written to say that they have begun to eivilize the French character, by teaching them the hu mane and pleasing amusement of cock-;fighting and bull-beefing; and which they can enjoy with out having the fear of the constable before their eyes. GOLDEN•LANE BREWERY.--The anntial gene. ml meeting of the proprietors of this extensive concern took place at the City of London Tav e rn on Th urs d a y . last, Mr. SwAsr in the Chair. Much anxiety was expressed by some of the shareholders to ascertain ay.-amount of dividend about to be declared, as the price of malt and hops had been so favour. able to Brewers in general ; and inquiries were made with respect to several eligible offers that had been received for the purchase of the whole property. The Chairman in an eloquent address explained the various points • and previous to COT!. firming the minutes o f th e l ast general meeting, a resolution was proposed and carried by a large majority, that a committee of respectable shareholders should be appointed to act with the directors to investigate certain matters, and to detide on the propriety of entertaining any offer that had or might be made for the purchase of their valuable property.—The meeting then adjourned till November next, when the. annual election of directors and auditors will take place. The roaster of a Greek vessel and his crew astonished the inhabitants of Marseilles a short time since by carrying thecargo of their small vessel, consisting of rice, to the market-place and distributing it gratis to the poor. It may easily be supposed that their customers increased hourly when the circumst.ances were made known ; and several other cargoes might have been speedi. ly disposed of on tire, same terms. These pbor men, it seems, were caught in a dreadful storm in the Mediteraneau ; and having betaken them selves to prayers, according to the forms of the Greek Church, they made a vow to give their cargo to the poor if Providence should be pleased to spare their vessel and their lives for the sake of their wives and families. The storm abated, and they gaitied Marseilles in safety, ►+ here they rigidly performed their vow.. It is to be observ ed, that the master and crew of a Greek vessel are all joint owners, in certain proportions, of ship and cargo. We arty sorry to state, that the difference be tween the Knareshro' Linen Manufacturers and their Weavers are not yet adjusted.—(Leeds MercurN). DIiEADFUL SE/ICTOE.-011 Sunday, between twelve and one o'clock, a soldier of the 3d regiment of Foot guards, named Bradshaw, was seen walking through Portland town with a female, apparently of. low character; they went into Alr. White's, Portland Arms, Portland -town, where the soldier drank half a pi n t o f porter, and the woman a glass of gin ; he then appeared perfectly collected, and paid for what he had, and walk.,d up into the fields. In about 10 or 12 ins nutes after, the woman ran out of the field to three soldiers who were walking als% - ig the road, and in very great agitation ex claimed, " For Ciact's sake make haste into the next field, a sol dier says he will cut his throat—le has got a razor;" but they laughed at her. In a few minutes after a man crossing . fho field saw a so ldi er i n undress clothing lying on Hi face, appar eruly asleep, hut on nearer appro.:eh he found the soldier was weltering in his bloods he turned the body, and found the man had nearly severed his head from his body.
