Papers states that the national troops in New Spain
have recovered 500,000 of the 700,000 piasters in-
tercepted by the rebel Colonel Iturhide, who, it IS
asserted had submitted. [This news was communi-
cated by the persons on hoard the Galgo, and will,
we hope, he confirmed by the letters which are not
yet landed.]
Our Political Chief has issued a Proclamation on
the appearance of Zildivar, with a. band of 45 hor►e-
men, in the neighbourhood of Xeres de Is Poin-
ters. He severely threatens all who whall join this
rebel, and commands thein to lay down their arms
and return to their homes within 45 hour., wider
pain of being tried by military law and shot. It is
believed by many that this party is only a band of
smugglers.

General lEmpecinado has taken prisoner at Nava
de Roo. D. Lorenzo Quintana, clerg‘ mail of Rod.
His capture is considered to he as important; or
even more so, than that of Merino himsdf, as he
was his intimate friend, confident, and director, and
enjoyed, in this whole district more reputation than
Merino. He has been brought to this town, mod
proceedings are commenced against him.

The troops of General Empeeinoile being ex•
tremely weary, remain at present in their respective
positions. Avery point it secure, and all measur►i
have been taken to prevent a surprise. This mi-
serable faction can hold together no Luger than
while it avoids shriving itself.
SEPULVEDA, JUNE 10.
The wretched Merino escaped from the atfitir of
the 3th with only 15 horses, thanks to the si6lity of
his and the weariness of oar cattle, which was such
that the soldiers were at last obliged to lead them
by the bridle, otherwise that 'Owl would have
fallen nnder the sword of the Commander of the
first battalion of Catalonia, or of that of one of the
four brave men who joined him in the pursuit.

FRIDAY, Jima 29. ISM

A Dutch mail arrived last night with papers to
the 27th instant. The following is an extract :

INTELLIGENCE FROM IVA LIAO. lA.

By 08464 accounts from Bucharest of 3d June, the head-
quarters of the 'Furbish army, which has entered Wallachia
ruder the Command of Haslschi Abmet Paths, were in
Colentina, without the city, where there was a camp of
22,000 mess, the half of which consists of cavalry. This
corps was to proceed against the rebels its a few days.

It seems that it WAS intended to wait for Juggle, Pacha of
Meadow, who is engaged in clearing Moldavia of the In-
surgents, and is stated to have immediately occupied Jassy,
in order to act wish their united forces against Ypsilanti,
who is still in his position at Tergowist, and seems disposed
to occupy himself with his corps of insurgents, which is stat-
ed to consist of 10,000 owe.
Bucharest itself was occupied by 500 Turkish troops un-
der the command of Baschbeschit Aga Tehir, an Albanian ;
they were stationed in the two strong forts of the city, the
metropolitan residence and the monastery of Railulawda.
Perfect order prevailed in the whole city, and the public
peace had not beets a moment interrupted. All the inhabi.
tants, both natives ■nd foreigner., are however disarmed;
the first are obliged to deliver up their arms to a Com-
mittee appointed for the purpose, the latter to deliver them
to their respective Consuls. On the other hand, the Turkish
Commander has had I Turks hanged and beheaded
who had been guilty of excesses.
All persons, even those individuals who were accused of
basing been corrected with the rebels,ws treated with the
greatest lenity provided t►ey have not been taken with
arms in their hands. Such persons sre left at liberty upon
bail, and pursue their occupations without molestation ; but
the greatest rigour is titterer to the armed Hewitt,. Thus,
Go the tel ofJuse, ten of Ypsilanti's sacred baud were taken
in a village, and executed in their black uniforms at the end
of the bridge that leads to the Turkish camp. Two Greeks of
Bucharest who had taken pa►t in the rebellion, experienced
the same fate.

The Caiosscaas of the Dimly appointed Prince Callimachi
had not yet arrived at Bucharest.

Crsjowa is already occupied by the troops of the Pacha

Copies of the Address proposed oti Wednest'uv
night in the House of Commons by Mr. Hums,
111111 of the Amendment moved by Mr. this& t.s,
mid subsequently adopted by the Hon-e, will be
foiled annexed to these 'observations. 'The original
motion was rejected by 174 to 94 vote., but the
Amendment was ununimously adopted. With re-
ference to the object contemplated by Mr. HUSte,
there appears in examining the language of the
Address and or the Amendment, very little cause
for preferring the one form of words to the other.
nor is it easy to perceive why the Ministers, who op.
posed the motion with all their power, should has e
unanimon-ly concurred its the tenor of the Amend-
ment. The public, howeeer, we think, have acme
cause to be gratified with the debate and the Tr sult,
nor 'solved has Mr. HEINE, in his apparent detest,
any reason to complain, for the Amendment re-
cognises, as strongly as need be the propriety of pur-
suing • strict and anxious inquiry into the vapemk-
ture of the country, with a view to the enforcing ofan
efficient and palpable retrenchment. Mr. Hrus's
motion had merely • plospective object; it bore
no reference even by implication to the past eon.
duct of the Government ; it conveyed 110 et it-iire
nor testified any feeling of the displeasure of Par-
hammed at any past sites of omission or trensgresstou ;
it prayed for a minute investigation iota the mode
and expense of the management and collection
of the revenue—for • careful revision of rill Sq...
kyles and allowances, especially of those. which
had been increased since 1797. that they may be
adjusted with reference to the iucressed value of
the currency—and filially for • general reduction
in the exFroditure of the country, particularly in
the military establishment. This proposition wits
vigorously opposed, and one is almost tempted to
suspect that the opposition of the Ministers and
their friends on this occasion was governed by a
principle of caprice, or perhaps by some other feel-
big not more respectable, when we find the rely
same suggestions comprised in Mr. BANIEES'S
Amendment are received with smiles of approval
and adopted by acclamation. In die Amendment
his MAJESTY is humbly but earnestly entreated to
give directions that an investigation similar in prin-
ciple to that which has been instituted in the de-
partment of the customs may be extended to all
other branches of the revenue, wish a view to ren-
dering " the collection of it more ecormatieul and
its management more e.fficient." If any weight
were to be attached to the terms of two proposi.
lions which are similar in principle and spirit, the
terms of the Amendment most manifestly imply
a stronger censure upon the existing system,
whatever it may he, with regard to the " collec-
tion" and " management" of the revenue, than cast
be inferred from the terms of the original motion.
The Arnesulment then proceeds to recommend,
" for the purpose of affording a further relief to the
country," that a initiate inquiry should be in,ti-
fitted in the several departments of the civil go-
vernment, "as well with a view to reducing the
number of persons employed, as with reference to
the inereased salaries granted to individuals since
the year 1797 ;" and finally, " thut every pos,bie
saving should be effected in the more exterel.it
e-tablishments which the country is obliged Io
maintain for the safety and defence of the United
Kingdom, and more especially in the military
expenditure. by a reduction in the numbers of the
army, sod by a constant and vigilant superintend-
ence over that and all the other departments of the
State."

In what then does that degree of diversity con-
sist between the original motion and the Ainenii-
mein which could induce the House of Common•.
to reject the one form of words and adopt the other ?
We are sincerely of opinion that the Amendment
expresses in stronger and more energetic terms the
objects of Mr. Humes motion than does the form of
words which he in drawing up his Resolution happen-
ed to employ, and we Lave very little doubt that if
