I.ON DON,

FRIDAY, Novememe 8, 1822.

A report prevailed yesierday of the sudden dis-
solution of Congrrs., and the departure of the Duke
of WCLLINGTON from Verona on his return to
England. The Bearish Herold of yesterddy (a
Canterbury Piper) contains the following ststetneut
upon this subject :

Drente or the 'Royalists continue to inetease in the
three oerihern provinces of Spina. The following

are extratts :

BAYONNE. OCTOBER 91.
The failure of two mails from Spam, which we
have just received, had given rise to various rumours
by no means favourable to the Constitutional cause
in the three pro►inces. It has been reported that
Quesada. after having taken Tolosa, hud even
marched toward• Gilboa, the inhabitants of whicii
were in alarm, and that it was feared he had made
himself master of that city. AU these reports
are shewn to be false, both by merchants' letters
and by the Journal of St. Sebastian, of the 30th,
which we 'have before us. Quesada, though sp•
pointed by the Junta at Urgel to be Commandant
of the three provinces, independently of the rapid
march which he had just made from Balarpier, has
riot been able to give his troops a mananit's rest,
in consequence of the coiliuual mo►ements of
Espinosa, and of a column from Arragon (not of
9,000 tneu. as has been said, but of 1,800 mess); he
has constantly declined coming to an action, flying to
the mountains, exhausting his soldiers with. Coigne,
and, consequently, the Constitutional troops like-
wise, who are quite disgusted with the otaumuvres
of Espinosa.
The Gesiend of the Faith was on the 27th et
Estella, whence he wrote to Equia, that he could
not do any more ; that lie knew not whether he
should go towards Vittoria or Loguno. By letters
from Vittoria of the 29th, it seems that he had
approached that city the same day, but that from
the measures that were adopted lie would not be
allowed to enter it, even if no troops were at his
heels, so that it is highly probable that he has
turued towards the mountains of Saluatierra. It
seems that in his last dispatch to General Equis,
he has informed him of the death of Salaberry, at
Pamplona, sod asked him whether he is to ow
reprisals upon the prisoners of the Constitutional
pasty in his power. Equia has replied, that
according to his instructiona, he is to have two
officers or soldiers shot for every office► or sol-
dier of the Faith who may be sacrificed by ks
adversary, and that for the rest he is to ent fine him-
self to following his motto, " the Kier, or
Death .1" The Audios ities of St. Sebastian, Bilboa,
and Tolosa, continue to urge the Government at
Madrid to send reinforcements of troops; bat where
are they ? lo consequence, Zabel'', band takes
advantage of this circumstance, and enlists all
the youth that it meets with ; the force ref Jaarequy
is insufficient to mile any opposition, so that
unless reinforcements are sent in less than a fort-
night, all the young people iu the three provinces
will be under the banners of the Faith. Torrijos
is said to be expected at Vittoria, to succeed Es-
pinosa. The murder of the Portuguese Chevalier
Mosquito is but too fully confirmed.

The accounts from Navarre still represent that
province as a prey to the horrors of civil war.
The accouots from Saragossa of the 46th stair,
that scarcely was the porposal of the Minister, re.
lative to the patriotic societies, knows them when
that established iu that city was re-opened ; and
that its the night of the pitting of the 43d it was
resolved to represent to the Governmeat the neves.
any of arresting 45 persons, who were notorious for
their opposition to the eourtitutional system; that
several Members insisted on their tieing arrested
immediately, but that the Authorities refused.
The Gusette of Saragossa announces the movement
of Mimi towards Cattelfolit on the 41st, and his
retreat to Calor; but by his own account it is evi-
dent that the advantageous positions of the
Ru)alists, their superiority, and their resolu-
tion vigorouely to resist every attack, in-
duced the Constitutional Gmteral to retire to
his positions, and to wait for fresh reinforce-
ments, which are continually aunounced, but never
arrive. All the Spanish refugees at Bayonne yes-
terday received orders to withdraw into the intense
of France. Sixty monks sod priests intend kr go
to Toulouse, and thence to Catalonia. We do not
think that this order includes the Committee of
Equis.
Litters from Madrid say that General Morino
had left a letter addressed to the Minister of State
at Madrid, in which he declared that he left the
kingdom to avoid the ill-usage and injustice with
which he was threatened by an anareltica4 he-
lion, but that lie would never bear arm against his
country, and that he world desire to justify himself
as some as he should he in is place of safety.
P.S.--The partisan of the Faith, Zebals, ham
arrived at Bayonne ; it is said I.e is going to the
Regency at Urgel.
The conduct of the Constitutional troops in the
revolted couurries does not equal that of the Royal-
irte; but it is calculated to sake the inhabitants
averse to r reconciliation, because they have de-
clared a war of extermination against the priests and
monks, and this is thought to be a sign of the de-
struction of religion.

Cerium Papers, which have arrived, state that
the Turkish fleet antlered another disaster in the
Gulf of Napoli, and that Itloldavis and Walla-
chia have been entirely evacuated by the Turkish
troops.

The Courier of last night appetite to have rc
ceived a rebuke from its friends at the Admiralty.
It lately admitted the justice of the complaints of
our merchants against the piratical depredations
