On the 20th ease accounts frets Bahia were
read, brought by the Lagar Vedas, which had ar-
rived at Gibraltar in 53 days. The letters describe
the fears of The Europeans, who were apprehensive
that oil the European troops would be sent away :
the Captain affirmed, that when it is known, that
instead of the troops being withdrawn they will be
reinforced. the Europeans will be perfectly easy,
and the Brazilians necessarily quiet, sod there wel

DROSSILS, SEPTIMBIR 2..
His Majesty has signed a most important decree,
respecting the domains transferred to him by the
law of the 26th of August. According to this de-
cree, his Majesty, desiring to make these domains
contribute to the promotion of the general welfare,
and to the advantage of the public treasury, has
resolved to establish in Brussels an anonymous soci-
ety for the promotion of agriculture, commerce, and
manufsciures, and to advance from time to time,
upon moderate interest, the sums which may be
necessary to encourage cud to extend these import_
ant branches of national prosperity. These do-
mains, or the value of them, together with the capi-
tal to be advanced by the other shareholders, shall
form the food of this society. No shares shall be
issued for these domains, but the amount of their
revenues. so far as they do not exceed 500,000
florins, .ball serve, both for the King and his suc-
cessors, to complete the annual revenue assigned to
the King by Article 30 of the fundamental law ;
and in case the revenues should exceed that sum,
such excess shall be annually contributed to the
redemption of the public debt, and especially of the
571 millions lately crested ; thus to lighten, as far
as lies in his Majesty's power, the burdens of his
beloved subjects. Ma Majesty has farther decreed
and engaged, that after the expiration of the term
of this society, the said domains or their value shall
return in full property to the State, with the lessor.
ante that, independently of these domains, his Majes-
ty will contribute considerable sums towards the
espital, which is to be furnished in ready money or
puper currency of the State.
Thus his Majesty has confirmed, in fact, the.
assurance he had previously given, that in carrying
into execution the 31st Article of the fundamental
law, he had solely in view to promote the general
welfare, and remove all the uncertainties which some
persons might apprehend, in the event of the acces-
sion of Lis Majesty's successor to the throue.—

BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER I.

The Papers and co►respoodence from Madrid op
to the 47th ult. mud those from the northern pro.
winces of some days later date, furnish us with the
following particulars:
• An onexpecte4 step taken by General Copons,
General Commandant of the district of Madrid,
and e decision of the Special Military Tribunal of
War and of the Marine, which may be called strange,
have been for some day, past subjects of conversa-
tion and even of dissatisfaction among the inhabit-
■uts of this capital.
" What reason, they ark, can the Captain Ge.
•etal have had for not confirming the opinion of
she Auditor, who thought that the cause of the offi-
cers of the royal guard who took arms on the 7th
of July against the Constitution should be tried by
an ordinary Court Martial, according to the second
Act of the law of the 46th of April? Why
should this saception be made iu the cases of these
iodividosia sly ? What **comity was there for
the Cesseedent General to commit the Specie'

Military Tribunal on a doubt which was none to
the Auditor, and cannot be such to any body ?
Why did the Tribunal differ from the just observa-
tions of the King's Solicitor (Fist-bil), end on what
grounds can it have founded its judgment ? The
law in question is decisive; to depart front it in the
present case, and say that some officers of the
royal guard ought to be tried by a Court of Gene-
ral Officers, ane not by au ordinary Court Martial,
is as if we should ate a territorial tribunal consulted
by a Judge of the First Instance, answer that a
Pt teat, who is a compirator, be tried by an ecclesi-
astical tribunal. Such were the questions asked
yesterday (35th) by those who desired the•upolica-
tion of the law to the delinquents of the 7th of
Jaly. The Journals have merely annouticed the
fact, and the ft:nectar/or of the 23. i, having pub.
lished that the Solicitor in this cease, Don Fran-
cisco Mancha, had declined to act as Solicitor in
the cause that had been confided to him, suspicions
were immediately excited, and the atteution of the
Government called upon to examine into the affair,
arid to inquire of the Council of State ;Outlier the
Getweral and the Tribonpl have decided according
to law. The Commandant General has published
in the Etpsciador a long statement of Isis motive.:
for not conforming to tee opinion of the Assessor,
but his answer has but little contributed to calm
peoples' minds. who ate persuaded that attempts
were making to impede (lie trial of the guards, and
to sere sonic of the olfieers implicated. It is even
reported that Copons is dismissed, and that Ge.
swat Villaba is appointed his successor.
" Baron d'Arlills, Commandant of Valencia,
having resigned, the King has appointed Major
General Casiellur to succeed him. His Majesty
has also made several other changes in the subaltern
military commands.
"The Archbishop of Saragossa, and the Bishops of
Malign and of Ceuta are sentenced to bani•liment.
Four canoes of the cathedral of Saragoss.i go to
that of Ceuta.
" The l'...ke"de !Infanta& is banished to the
Canaries, the Marquis de las Arnarillas to Ibiza,
and the Count d'Espcletta to Seville.
" Don Juan Ramirez de Arellano, captain of the
guards (the faithful ones), is appointed his Majesty's
Lieutenant at Madrid ; Brigadier-General Pedro
Ramirer, Military Governor of iltieloa ; and lhi-
gadier.General Torrijos, Major-General.
" On die eeith, the last squadron of the regiment
del Principe left the capital fur Catalonia, so that
there are scarcely 800 men left as a garrison in
Madrid, which renders the duty of the national
guard very fatiguing.
" Our Politics) Chief went out yesterday evening
(16th), u second time, with 400 men, taking the road
to Fuencarral, Moral, and other ;risers in the en-
virons, where it is affirmed that ph-as are forming
to disturb the tranquillity of this capital. It is pro-
bable lie will bring back some prisoners. In gene-
, rat, people's minds are not easy, and cannot be so,
considering the revolutionary tempest which goes
on increasing in every quarter of Spain.

" The Infanta Doom Maria Thereeit, Princess of
Beira, and her son, thi Infant Don Sebastian, en-
tered the Spanish territory on the 17th, and stopped
at Badujos till the 19th, in the evening, when they
set out for Talavera. They were received in the
most respectful manlier by the Simnel, Authorities.
The Political Chief of Badajoz, at the head of she
provincial deputation, presented her with a copy of
the Constitution, elegantly bound, which she ac-
cepted in the most gracious manner.
" The enthusiasm of. the Patriots and their efforts
redouble in proportion to those of their adversaries.
The national militia of Valencia, 4,000 strong, have
begged his Majesty to send all the troops of the
line in that city to Catalonia, offering to do the
whole duty as long as it shall he necessary. The
King has accepted this generous offer, and the gar-
rison, of about 1,000 men, has already set nut fur
Catalonia, nod is to commence its operations by
scouring the province of Tortma. it is thought
that Murcia and Curthagena will follow the example
of Valencia."

The Journals give a long account of the decisive
victory obtained over the Trappist, by General
Zerco de Valle, on the lath. Ile had taken a very
advantageous position, but General Zuco de Valle
took such measure* that the factious were com-
pletely beuten in less than an hour, lining their
only remaining cannon, an immense quantity of
ammunition, stores, &e. and almost all their bag-
gage. Two companies, which made a great re-
sistance, were cut to pieces by the constitutional
troops. The Trappist, who wus already flying from
Catalonia, continued his march with the rest of his
band towards Songuensa, where he is said to hare
joined the troops of Quesada,
The Servdes pretend, that when the Trappist
entered Balha.iro he was joined by 600 meo ; that
he completely defeated the constitutional column
of 400 ; that with an equal number he sus-
tamed the shock of Zoete del Valle to cover his
march to Navarre, where lie was going to j“iii
Quesada. [This lie has in fact done, hut his faire

at Madrid pretend that (Zees:id:l boned* to fall
upon Saragossa; however this inay be, they have
entertained more flattering hopes of their triumph
than I licy do now.
The Journals of Madrid contain Tong details of
the advantages gained by Milani., Rolm, cud Tcr-
rijos, in Catalonia. The latter has obtained a most
impostant advantage over Itomsoillaft, who block-
aded Cervera, which he had thteatened to destroy,

A band of 400 amen from Catalonia has entered
the district of Alcarriz, mu %Totem:is, within a few
days, and acts hostily towards the constitotional
system. Some troops are in pursuit of them. The
dispersion of the factions of Molds in Andalusia,
and of the Serrania at Ronda, has caused` seven or
eight bands to he formed, which threaten to become
stronger, and resume offensive operation,. Estre-
mutters, hitherto tranquil, begins to furnish par-
tisans to the defenders of the faith, who have beaten
a column of militia in the mountains of Guadaloppe.

for Catalonia refuse to march, though the authorities
