FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. .P_A 111 S, Jut.g 31.—The public attention is interested in the most. lively manner with respect to tho New Congress. It at length appears that it wiil be assembled at Verona. It was along time doubtful whether the Emperor. Alexander would. be present', but it is believed that he has • 440, on this occasion, yielded to the wishes of Austria, wbose'Cabinet directs the politics of the Holy Alliance, from . the time that it was deter- Mined to isolate _Greece,. and to paralyse the powerful arm which seemed to cover her with ,protection:;. -, 1 t if we may believe,the current reports iittlie , :saloons of the ancient ,regime, at the Cotigtess of Verona that the affairs of Italy _atkl Greec'e milk be finally decided, and . that .sortie decisive measure will be adopted with re .gard to those of Spain. As to Italy, her con dition will be ameliorated. Naples, Turin and Palerino are to remain under the protection of Austria, and it will be diplomatically proved that this arrangement must conduce to the happiness of both people and Kings. Greece, according to the doctrine of men self-styled religious, is to be abandoned to her unhappy fate, because, for- , sooth, she is rebellious, and rebellious, too, to • :viirds her legitimate Sovereign! Russia will con sent, in conformity with the' interests of the. ,- French Aristocracy, to protect neither Moldavia,! .• Wallachia, nor Greece, and she will allow her self to be' persuaded that she ought not rather to' - exterminate the last of her sainted partners, than -to avoid taking a bold and respectable attitude, or even Commencing a war, which would cover ..her Sovereign with immortal glory. The happi ..ness '-01. restoring seven - millions of men to liberty, of bestowing freedom on the country of Thernistocles; and of Pericles, of re-kindling in . the East the light of letters and of civilisation — are such things to be balanced by the interests or -,the, vaniths of . some families of the West, by .the support or renovation of mouldering privileges, : the re-establishment of substihttions and the right of prornogeniture, and, in fine, the resurrection of monastic orders from the Jesuits to the Ca puchins.—(ConstitutionneL) . ..Letters from Misolonglii announce the capture •of Patras by Colocotrone, on the 31St of May. This'event renders time Greeks absolute masters , of the Peninsula.L--(/bid.) CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES, Junv 31. . On the vete of two millions (of francs) for the Chamber of Peers, ' M. Benjamin Constant recalled the often reiterated promises to organise by law the funds allotted to the Chamber of Peers,: As these promises had not been kept,'the only constitutional course was to refuse the supply. He opposed their allocation, he s cause they are not applied to their legitimate destination, which was merely for retired servants, and because they are applied to 'an illegal destination; in effect, salaries are given to Peers who were not formerly Senators, which they have no right to receive. These salaries are anti-constitutional and dangerous; they destroy the independence of the House of Peers, whether as part of the • Legislative Power or as a Court of Justice. This abuse, mis chievous in all times; ls, still more so now when the GoVernment favours, or at least receives, all inventions of pretended con spiracies (Murmurs on the right.)-Lconspiracies - of which it is possible that the Chamber of Peers may be judges, in which the Government collects all informations,' in which the agents of' power get together, as in the Arabian Nights, the most absurd stories, the testimony of the d ead, that of fugitives —hearsays, to compose histories that prove nothing, and which are only deserving of pity. M. Rsv terse-ERE—Have we not the tribune? What need is there of other proofs ? M. B. CONsTANT—M. Reveliere says, " Have we not the • tribune ? What need is there of other proofs?" Of course he . can cite the speeches he alludes to. I request him immediately to ascend the tribune, and to shew, either by his speech or other Wise, the proofs of these conspiracies, to the Government, to the public, and to ourselves. 'if he does not, I shall be forced to tell him that his assertions resemble very closely Ca lumny, and that it is very sericus before this assembly.—[M. Re • veliere remains immoveable.—After a long pause, M. Constant, continues.]—lt concerns M. Reveliere's honour not to support' this name of calumniator, which shall regret to give him; if he does not prove the conspiracy.--[DI. Reveliere does. not seirs] • • After this forced 'digression, continues M. Constant, I-return to my subject, for the seriousness of these conspiracies scarcely en , gages ire. I have only spoken of them as an additional argu ment for making the Chamber of Peers independent. When the depositaries-of power have conceived the plan of attacking public liberty, they have always sought to influence the tribu nals. For my own part, I think that the Ministers (and as you call us factious and conspirators, we also have a right to speak Cot), , I think the, Ministers proceed as directly as they can to the destruction of public liberty. After M. CONsTANT had concluded, M. REVELIERE ascendedthe tribune, and said—This is the second time that several Members of this Chamber are impli cated in conspiracies, the details of which have resounded through France. 'lt concerns their honour and that of the Chamber to know, whether there is nny connection between the Members of this Chamber and the conspirators. The PRESIDE err—That is not the question—[violent rnur rniirs on the left, speak,. speak M. REVELIERE quits the Tribune [general movement on - the left, many voices, "it is odious; let him justify himself !"] The PitEsrnEts — r said, the question under discussion was the vote for the Chamber of Peers. After much confusion, M. Cassecia PERIER appealed to the rule of ordea` which allows that a Member shall be heard whenever he requests a hearing on a personal fact. The PRESIDENT said, if M. - REVELIERE had demanded a heating on a _personal fact, he should have heard him, but as he had announced a proposition foreign to the question, it had been necessary to call him to order [M. REVELIERE did de mand% hearing on a personal fact, from many voices.] The PRESIDEITT—If M. REVELIERE had demanded a hearing on such a fact, I would have heard him. The left side—Go then, M. REVELIERE. • M. REVELIELIE—I demanded a hearing on a personal fact. It was that which led toa development of the proposition I made. Since the President thinks I cannot do so now, t will hereafter [general hootings from the left side. " Calumniator" echoed from all sides]. M. REVELIERE—It is for the Chamber to judge whether I am a calumniator [yes, yes, yes !]. • LAPITTE demands a hearing on a personal fact. M. REVELIERE has said that conspiracies were formed in this tribunal. I do not suppose that it was to me that he alluded ; neither will I occupy myself with the opinion uttered by I know not what journal; hut further lengths have been at ' tempted; the names of several of my friends and mine have been cited. We must knisw, in fine, whether the Deputies of France are under the axe of the executioner. [All the left side—" Yes, yes, we must have an end of these atrocities."] The question here does not relate to the opinion of this or that part of the Chamber, nor to the declaration of a few puffing men ; r or to the misconduct of some agent of power : it is a Magistrate, it is a Pros.ureur dn. Roi,' who, in an act of accusation pub lished in the JWonitcer, gives the . names of four Deputies, and • points them out as accomplices, as heads of a revolt. If this imputation is true,, the trial will prove it. As for myself, I re pel it with indignation and horror. But if it is false, as in my case it is; if it is only founded on the hireddepositions-of some vile agents of the police, and of the men who were the pur ‘ veers of the executioner; in the bloody days of 1793, and who now begin to raise their heads, it is the duty; the honour of the Chamber, to order an inquiry, to examine into the conduct of the procurcur du Rai. • The KEEPER of t the SEALS—M. Lafitte must have seen that the names of the Members of this Chamber have only bean • cited in the act of accusation, because they had also been cited, I am convinced, without their consent and participation, by witnesses, by some of the accused themselves, whose conduct has here been .attempted to he justified. 'What, Gentlemen men are brought before the tribunals under the:weight of the most serious accusation, drawn up in the most solemn forms ! in what times do we.live ? Of what men is this Chamber com posed ? Is it a qUestion of obscure enterprises, of unknown acts ? It was a question ,of ,an armed revolt—of surprising cities ; it was a question of much. more—it was an, attempt to establish a Government de facto; to attack with arms fortresses • belongingto France and to the Government of the King. And e'sthese are factitious conspiracies.! Let me be permitted to pros nounce the name of a man whom I must not call guilty—but .who at least is strongly suspected. Was Berton an agent of the Government to excite conspiracies ? Cease then to, insult public feelings.—(Brairos on the right.)—A crowd of witnesses, and of the accused them . serves, deposed that Berton declared a Provisional Government existed, and named the men of whom he pretended it waszomposed. Bow could a Magistrate abstain from stating these facts ,This sort of discussion was continued for some time longer. It dosed in the following violent and tumultuary manner :—] On the right—" Close the-debate ! close the debate 1" M. DE ST. AULAIRE and 31. CASIMIR PERIER are at the tribune. • The PRESIDENT—I am going to put the closing of the de bate to the vote. M. CASIMIR PERIER—I demand to be heard against the cloSing. The PRESIDENT—It has been already spoken against. M. CASIMIR PERIER-It isinfamous ! it is an assassination ! 'On the right—" Order, order !" M. CASIMIR PERIER, addressing himself alternately' to the right and to the President--It is an assassination ! it is an atrocity ! M. LAFITTE—You are cowards ! you wish to murder us, and you dare not listen to us ! The PRESIDEN,T—It is not your turn to speak. M. Cas I min rt at En —Thanks to you ! it is an abominable tr6ason ! • • The President put the article of the Budget to the vote amidst the most violent tumult. The Chamber divided. The two sides interrupted each other with violence. M. LAFITTE stopped before the first bench on the right, and addressed to the Gentlemen who occupied it the most lively gestures and exclamations. The Sitting broke up at half-past.six. , ROYAL COURT OF POITIERS. ACT OF ACCUSATION AGAINST GENERAL BERTON AND 111 S ACCOMPLICES. The,number of the persons accused•of conspiracy is 56, of whom 18 have fled. General Berton, and 37 others, are in custody. • The following is the substance of the indictment : A conspiracy, the object of which was to destroy the King's Government, and to excite civil wax, broke out in the month of February last, in the departments of the Deux-Sevres, .and'of Maine-et-Loire; the head-quarters of this conspiracy were the towns of Saumur, Thouars, and-Parthenay. The leader of the enterprise was the Ex-General Berton and his Auxiliaries, Members of a secret society, called the Society of the Chevaliers tic la Liberter, or Carbonari, formed for the purpose of over throwing the Government of the King, The crimes which have given occasion to the indictment were concerted and committed long ago. Meetings were held at Saumur, in the house of one of th accused, named Calle, fer nierly a surgeon-major, and in the house of Gauchais, formerly a chief of battalion, who has fled. The conspirators also as sembled.at yartlipay, at the house of Moreau, a half-pay. of ficer' and at the house of Dufresnes, another of the accused, who have both fled. The conspiracy extended to the depart ments of Ille et.Vilaine, and Loire Inferieure ; at least four of the conspirators belonged to those departments. ' When the plot was considered sufficiently ripe, Gen. Berton arrived at Seumur. Ile had left Paris in the beginning of January. lie pretended that his only object was to pay a visit to his son, a sub-lieutceant of Dragoons in garrison at Poritivy. He 'proceeded, - however, directly to Brest, where he had been preceded by Colonel Alix, one of the accused. Colonel Alix is the agent of a faction which wishes to subvert the Government. Every thing announces that his mission to Brest had for its ob ject to seduce the officers from the army, and to prepare them to assist Gen. Berton in his enterprise. Alix left Brest on the Bth, was at Rennes oe the oth, and re-appeared suddenly at Brest on the 11th ; and on the same day had a meeting with Gen. Berton, who left Brest on the 15th for Rennes. General Berton acknowledges that he learned in Rennes that the Cheva liers de la Libertc wished to make a movement in favour of the charter, that he yielded to the solicitations of several persons to place himself at their head, and that the object of the insurrec tion was to take possession of the town of Saumur. The con spirators of Saumur sent to Gen. Berton to come to them, and he arrived in that town on the 18th or 19th of February. Gen. Berton then proceeded to Thouars, where he had conferences with several of the accused conspirators. • • Moreau, who had been at Thouars to meet General Berton .on his return to Parthenay, had conferences with Fradin, a physician and adjutant to the mayor ; -.Ledem,' a physician ; and Rique, a surgeon. -He informed them of what had passed, made them acquainted with the intention to march on to Sau mur, and communicated to them the proclamations intended to be published by the General. These three joined the plot. After describing the manner in which several other persons had been - induced-to take part in the conspiraey, the act of accusa tion states that at four in the morning General Berton appeared in full uniform at the house of one of the accused, named Poin has, in Thouars. A. number of persons assembled there were told that the government of the King was . overturned, that a provisional governmentevas established, and that it was neces sary to render themselves masters of the gendarmerie. Imme diately cartouches were distributed, the tri-coloured cockade was mounted, and they marched off: Delon, already con demned to death,- and who appears to have arrived at Thouars -at the same period as Bertefe e put himself at the head Of the in surgents. One Of the - gendarmerie, heard the bell ritig at the door of_the barracks. On his opening it, armed men rushed upon him and commanded - silence ; othersevent to the rooms of • the different-gendarmes and compelled them to go down stairs. All.the.brigade, being thus made prisoners, were conducted to , the house inhabited by Pombas. The tocsin was soon rung ; the generate was beat ; the curate was arrested in ,his bed by men ivho called themselves soldiers of liberty ; a judge of the Tribunal of Bressure was arrested in .the street, and a member - of the municipal council,' at the house of the mayoralty; whither-the insurgents-went to substitute the tri-coloured standard for the white flag, and to insult the bust of the .King. Horses and carriages were seized. The insur gents then eiroceeded to the house of an armourer, named Uaspy,-and took possession of the arms they found there. Sen tinels were placed at .the gates of the town. Cries of " Vive la iiberte !" " Viva les peuples" were heard. A provisional government was Stated to he - established. General Foy, Keratry, Voyerel'Argenson, the Marquis de Lafayette, and. Benjamin Constant were said to be the members. This was believed. The authorities, struck with stupor, assembled at the town house. -General Berton repaired thither, accompanied by several armed men. He declared to the Mayor that the move. merit at Thouars extended through the whole of France, and that its object was to recover public liberty. He repeated to the Mayor, that a provisional goyernment was established, and that he authorized him to continue his functions. Berton then proceeded to La Place Saint-Meilard, where a person, named Heureux, who described himself as the deputy of the town of Nantes, read the two proclamations, which Moreae had shown to the physician Fradin. One was addressed " The People." It announced the overthrow of the King's Govertment, by which the purchases of national property would be t secured, and the indirect contributions suppressed. The othele proclae mation was in the follteving terms : ‘.‘ TO THE FRENCH ARMY. " Soldiers,—France has risen to recover her independeßce. The friends of honour are all ranged under the sacred standard of the country. Our veteran warriors are arriving from all parts, and uniting with your fathers, your brothers, and your friends ; the present is the moment of reward and the fulfil. ment of glory ! You will answer the summons. You are Frenchmen. _ " Soldiers, do not deceive yourselves ! trust not to the false promises bf those of your chiefs who wish to retain you in order to throw you into slavery ; they caress you because they need your aid ; should they prove victorious, they would soon betray you in your dearest affections—those of independence and li berty. Promotion, honour, fortune, would be reserved for them. Your lot would be to remain for ever slaves in the lowest ranks of the army. Experience has already taught you this ; you every day see your old companions in arms dismissed and dis banded ; the honourable wounds with which they are covered, the laurels which they have gathered in fields of glory, are now converted into marks of proscription : the same fate awaits you. " French soldiers, the standard of freedom—that noble standard which has shone and conquered in a hundred battles— is once more unfurled. Fiance claims you ; your relatives ad- vance to you and summon you. To fight against them would he high treason against your country : to triumph with them is a national virtue : such is your situation, make your choice ! Vive la France ! Vive la liberte. 44 THE GENERAL COMMANDING THE NATIONAL ARMY OF ,THE WEST." After reading this proclamation, the Provisional Government was proclaimed, and the Marquis de Lafayette was declared Generalissimo of the armies: Berton and Heureux stated, that the most distinguished Members of the left side, and particu larly Baron Demarcay, were well informed of hat was going on. Berton then made several new appointments . , and re organized the authorities. After these arrangements were com pleted, a column consisting of about 15 men on horseback and 120 on foot, marehed off with drums beating, and the standard of revolt flying, towards Saumur. • The conspirators of Saumur made preparations for receiving the column. The enemy had arrived at Montreuil; only three leagues distant, and yet the authorities of Saumur were ignorant of their approach. At three o'clock Berton and his band en tered Montreuil, with cries of Vive le psuple ! Vive la Janie! Vive NapJleun•ll. Berton passed through Montreuil. Seve ral emissaries came from Saumur to meethirn, but in the mean time the Brigadier oldie Gendarmes of Montreuil had sent for- s ward one of his men'to Saumur to give notice of the approach of the insurgents, and measures were taken to prevent his enter in.; the town. A party of the cavalry of the school of Saumnr proceeded to meet them. Berton informed - the officer who com manded this party that all rtsistance was useless, that hii corps was only -the advanced guard of 20,000 men, who were proceed ing to Saumur. " You see," he added, " that the national guard and the gendarmerie are marching with me. Patthenay, Loudun, Niort, Thouars, Chinon, Bauge, are all in a state of insurrection.: The cuirassiers ef'Orleans (in garrison at Niort) make common cause with us. •The legion which is atAngers is for us also. At. Rennes, Nantes, Bourdeaux— in all the great towns of France= the same movement has be gun. Be advised, avoid the effusion of blood." -The command ant replied, that he did not know Berton ; that, he had no com mand in the department, and that having received orders to op pose his march, he should oppose it. However, - he made his detachment take a half-circuit and fixed his position behind the bridge Fouchard. Berton and his band followed him ; they reached the bridge and passed it. A new detachinent of the school of equitation -now joined the former one. Delon ar ranged the troops ; but the officer who commanded the first de tachment which had =relied to meet the insurgents declared that he should not enter ; on which Delon replied that he might answer for the blood that was shed. The Mayor of Sauniur advanced, accompanied by a single national guard ; he sought General Berton, and was surrounded by the rebels, without knowing it. Though,the night was dark (it was s ven in the evening), he was known by his white. scarf, and Berton ad dressing him observed that he bad seen him in Paris • he said he had come in the name of Liberty. The Mayor replied that 'he was a rebel and a blockhead, and that he must retire. Ber ton disconcerted, ordered Moreau to withdraw the troop be yond the bridge. While this movement was taking place, aim was taken at the Mayen. : someone of the. party pointed fire arms at his breast. He succeeded. in escaping ; the bridge was evacu ated, and the national guard began to form themselves in order of battle. The insurgents, on their part, blocked up the road with carriages, and established posts in order that they might not be, surprised ' by the troops of the town. Things remained in this state for several hours. The Mayor and Berton had a confe rence. The authorities of Saumurheld a council of war, in which it was decided to charge the enemy at day-break. Berton kept his position till midnight, when being informed of the de termination of the council, he ordered a retreat. • • It is proper to state the considerations which induced him to adopt this course. His object and that of his accomplices was to take the town of Saumur And its chateau. He relied on ex citing an insurrection there similar to that which had taken place at Thoitars. Chauvet had endeavoured to excite it by running through the streets with a tri-coloured cockade, and crying " Viva la liberte !" but the plan completely failed.— The Mayor took possession of the keys of the church and the insurgents could not ring the tocsin. Berton,- as has been said, gave the signal for retreat. He accomplished it- in good order, displaying a calmness which can only be explained by the con fidence he felt in consequence of the inactivity of forces a hun dred fold greater than his own. His intention was to fall. back on Thouars, which is defended by a wall and a river, and where he would have been protected from a surprise ; but measures had alreadyheen taken for preventing his return. It Was now necessary to. disperse. Several of the chiefs fled.. Berton wan dered about:in the department of the Deus Sevres and la Cha •rente-Inferieure. He was arrested at the moment when he was preparing, with the assistance of some Carbonari, to embark in new attempts. • The act of accusation afterwards states that there existed a secret society, the object of which was to overthrow the Govern ment.. This society was directed by a committee sitting at Paris, and Berton was the principal agent in the departments of the west. He confesses in his interrogatory that it was Grand menille who came to seek him at Rennes- in the month of February to.conduct.hhn to Saumur. This Grandmenille made frequent journies to Paris. He has stated that he had inter course with the Generals Foy and Lafayette, and with the Deputies Lafitte and Benjamin Constant. It is under the tri coloured flag, with cries of " Vice la liberte Vice Napoleon 17," and with the title of the General-in-Chief of the Army of the West, that Berton marched, with a band which he had raised, upon Saumur, with the intention of taking it. The act of accusation then enters into details.of the charges imputed to the other 55 individuals accused of .conspiracy : but the most important of these charges are connected with the facts stated above. COURT OF ASSIZES AT COLMAR. SITTING OF JULY n. TWelve witnesses were (examined fi-orni the to the .59. d inclosive) who. deposed to no thing of the slightest importance. N - UREMBERGII, JULY 24.—1 t must not be be lieved, that at Vienna people are not interested in the fate of the Greeks, and that they do, not hold in horror, as in the other parts of Germany, the cruelties which have been practised against that people. We are assured that many mem bers of the Imperial Family take the most lively. interest in the destiny of the unfortiinate Rajas.. Our Cabinet, although its regard for the stability of things caused it not to countenance the re volution in. Turkey, could have no objection to the deliverance of the Greeks from the yoke of the Mussulmans 7 if it could take place without the participation of auy other great Power. It was to prevent such a combination that all the efforts of our Cabinet have, from the beginning, been exerted. It appears, by - all the reports of the Inter nuncio, that the Porte did not wish for war witl Russia, but she did not dread its occurrence i it had been inevitable. On the other side, Russia, in assembling con siderable bodies of troops on the frontier, as sumed a still more menacing attitude towards Turkey, and all the measures appeared to be taken with a view to deciding, by an armed force if necessary, the differences which M. Strogonoff was unable, to terniioate. This was precisely what the European Diplomatists proposed' to themselVes to prevent ;. and it is generally consi dered here as a triumph of the policy of our Ca binet that we succeeded by wisely conducted negociations in attaining this end. If hostilities had broken out, and the Russian arms had been victorious, as it was easy to perceive would be the case, from the critical situation in which the Porte was placed, and though the European Ca binets judged better than she (Russia) in her pride could do, still it would have been difficult to avoid the aggrandizement of Russia on the side of Turkey, even though it should have been but as an indemnity for the expellees of the war. Those causes of disquietude are at present dissi pated ; the united efforts of the Cabinets have succeeded in bringing the difference to the point at which it was before M. Strogonoff departed from Bujukdere. There has been gained a sort of restitutio in integrum by this mode of proceeding. The Court of St. Petersburgh having renounced all direct negociations with the Porte, it is with the latter that will Dow depend all arrangements with the former. The inquietude arising from a feeling that the equilibrium and peace of Europe would be disturbed being thus dissipated, we are permitted to take into consideration the affairs of the Greeks, without any motive of self-interest. But a strict neutrality in this contest is the only end. proposed. This system will, it is said, be confirmed by the Congress, which, it is expected, will assemble in Autumn. If the Greeks were strong enough to deliver themselves from the dominion of, the Turks, and that fortune favoured their enterprise, they would not have to fear teat the. European Powers would intermeddle in their affairs, or oppose any obstacle to the establish' • It appears to us that this absolute neutrality with respect to the Greeks, would be as opposed to the sentiments of huma nity, as to a sound political system. In withdrawing her arms, and in consenting to send a new Ambassador to Constantinople, Russia would afford. the Turks the opportunity of turning all their forces against Greece, and of taking from Greece all chance and all hopes of success. But let any one figure to himself the massacre of a Christian people—the immediate con sequence of this revolution ! What a scene for the people of ,Europe ! Is it not to be feared that all political reasonings will be, overpowered by an irresistible and universal sentiment? If, on the other hand, the Holy Alliance would assure to the Greeks a national existence in Peloponnesus, Attica and Crete (an, event which could be accomplished without a war, by an unanimous display of the forces of Europe assisted by a mari time demonstration), the people of Europe would see then pro ',per respect paid to justice and to humanity ; they would say that Sovereigns •hated tyranny as much as revolution; they would learn to value the noble and sacred principles proclaim ed by this great Alliance ; they would recognise the palladium of civilisation and of real liberty.—(Note of the Editor of the .1 - wrnal des Debats.) ment of their Constitution.*—(Nuremberg Cor respondent.) SPAIN. GAZETTE EXTRAORDINARY. MAURID,. JULY 21.—His Excellency the Commandant- General of this first and military district has received the fol lowing dispatch from 13rigadier D. Filiberto Mahy, command ing the column of Siguenza Most Excellent Sir—l have just received (at 3P. x.) a dis patch from D. Josef Maria Aranjo, second Commander of the active Militia of Soria, Chief of the Section, which pursues the rebels of Molina, which says— " I have the honour to inform you that this afternoon, about four o'clock, I attacked the rebels in this city with such good success, that they had not even time to remove their baggage, they being so panic struck, that all would have fallen into our power if the situation of this city had allowed the valiant troops to profit by their patriotic zeal. " I immediately set at liberty the patriots who were arrest ed, saving the , lives of two serjeants and a corporal of the regiment who were to have been shot to-morrow. ' I will giVe you a detailed account of the affair, which will chew its im portance. " JOSEF MARIA ARANJO. " Molina de Arragon, half-past 8 P. m. July 18, 1822. " P. S. We have taken many prisoners, and many hare been left dead on the field, of which I shall send the particulars.— Among these are Don Juan Francisco Perez, Adjutant of the Active National Militia, and one D. lEl3'4:Alto, of the Convr ega -0 tion of S. Felipe Neri Aranjo. " I have much pleasure in sending your Excellency the above, and will transmit the details when received." MAN R ESA, JULY 11.—On the 9th, a Chaplain of the Com mune of Cardona was shot, who was taken with arms in his hands on the day when the rebels abandoned that town. If many others of his class were served in the same manner, we firmly believe that tranquillity would be restored in the Moun tains. Yesterday the columns of 'rorrijos and Rotten entered thii town, coming from Cardona, and as they passed before the Store, they cried, as usual, " Long live the Constitutional King, the Constitution, the Sovereignty of the People," and sung patriotic songs. The column of Albornez marched out on Tuesday towards 1, Vich, and on the way shot two rebels. Torrigos, it seems, is going towards Calaf and Cervera. Our fortifications are in a pretty forward state. BARCELONA, JULY 10.—A prodigious number of the rebels is at this moment at Berga, with almost all the Chiefs of Cata lonia at their head, including Misas and the Trappist, who ar rived in that town on the Bth, with their bands and some artil lery; we cannot help again entertaining very serious apprehen sions for either Manresa or Vich. ' JULY 20.—The towns of Lerida and Vich had not fallen into the'power of the insurgents, as falsely reported. The lat ter town is besieged by a numerous force, but succours have been thrown into the place, and it is obstinately defended. MADRID, JULY 19.—We receive from all parts of the Pen insula the most favourable accounts of the impression caused by the happy result of the 7th of July, in this capital of the monar chy. No terms can adequatelY express the enthusiasM which all good Spaniards have felt in the ardent patriotism which has every where manifested itself. The troops that pursue the rebels of Siguenza have not been able to overtake them. In their flight they lay waste the coun try through which they pass. Their Majesties and their Royal Ilighnesses toOk a pro menade this evening, escorted by the cavalry of the National Militia.. An immense concourse of people filled the way by which his Majesty passed : cries of Long live the Consti tution, and the Constitutional King," were heard from all . quarters, except at the Sun Gate (Puerta del Sol), where a man, who is said to be a priest, cried " Death to the per jured," which he repeated two or three times, even after he was arrested by the Guard. This incident caused no disturbance whatever. MADatn, JULY 20.—We are authorized to state and affirm, that it is not certain, nor has there been given by the Minister of War the order spoken of in the Spectator of yesterday, by which it was said that orders had been given to the Officers, Serjeants, and Corporals of the Royal Guard, who joined the ranks of the brave men who defended liberty, shall be incor porated with the battalion who are on. duty in the Palace. The Madrid Journals contain a great number of addresses of congratulation, sent by different corporations to the local militia of Madrid, on its conduct in the late events. There are also numerous accounts of various trifling ren contres with the Insurgents in Catalonia, &c. MADRID, JULY 22.—The first battalion of the regiment of infantry of Guadalaxara entered this town on the evening of the 20th. A considerable number of militia went out to meet them; and re-entered.the town intermixed in their ranks, to the sound of military music. The march of this troop in the centre of the Prado, at the time of public promenade, resembled a triumphal , procession. General D. Joseph Emerie has been banished to Corunna, and the supernumerary Colonel of Infantry, D. Joseph Boran, to Cadiz. The Infant Don. Carlos, the King's brother, has been pro ceeded against before the Judge of First Instance at Chinchaz, in the province' of Madrid, as implicated in the affair of the 'popular 'commotion at Aranjuez on the 30th May. The Judge sent a commission to Madrid, requiring the • Prince to answer certain interrogatories on oath, which his Royal Highness re.. 'fused to do. The depositions of two witnesses render the Prince liable to be condemned to irons. Colonel Evariste San Miguel, appointed Fiscal for carrying on the investigations respecting the Royal Guard, is said to have obtained from Captain Mon, one of the cliief revolters, some particulars which involved the King himself and the rinces. The Fiscal has refused to receive the declarations against the King, on account of the inviolability of the Royal person. The immediate assembly of the Extraordinary Cortes, and of a counter cordon, is demanded in the whole of the numerous and energetic addresses which arrive from all quarters. After the most exact calculation, made by persons who have the means of doing it with the greatest precision, it appears that in less than 3 months the voluntary militia, armed and clothed according to the last regulation decreed by the Cortes, will amount to upwards of 500,000 men in the whole of the Pen insula. The Univ&sal contains two most violent articles upon the hostile intentions manifested in France by the Ultra party.— " These is no doubt," says that Paper " that all the reports circulated, either by the ignorant or the indiscreet, are too ab surd to receive the slightest credence, but they nevertheless chew the wishes entertained, and certain facts even spew that they do not confine themselves to wishes." ' It cites, as a proof of this residence of refugees on the frontiers of France, notwithstanding the promise given that they should be made to retire into the interior of the country, the artillery sent to reinforce the Cordon Solitaire; the provisions. and even the medicines: sent to the factious persons commanded by Que sa.da, who pass freely in and out of St. Jean Pied de Port, with out going through the Lazarets, or undergoing the usual fumi gations. It alleges a variety of other facts, and concludes by protesting against any remaining hatred entertained by Spa . - niards against Frenchmen, and against any disposition to dis turb the tranquillity of any country ; but it demands from other countries that sincerity and good faith which, it says, Spain ma nifests towards them. A letter front Bayonne of the 27th July, is couched as . fol lows The artillery from Toulouse are arrived here. In other respects every thing is in the same state that it was a year ago nevertheless gnat quantities of forage and corn are collected in all the departments. A report has been circulated here that corpS of strange troops are marching towards the Rhine to pass into Spain for the purpose of destroying the constitutional sys tem of 1812 ; but we cannot give any faith to a piece of news so extraordinary and so ridiculous that it appears to be. the result of malevolence only. 11 ."
