" My dear Comrades and Friends—l arrived in this capi-
tal animated with the sentiments with which you yourselves
arc inspired, and always acting na these principles dictate to
me, by which! have been drawn into the defence of the good
canoe. Ob. what I have .lone. I have spoken twice

open to bat the bottom of say heart concerning the essential
poiut +bleb had determined me to set out itt. toy; • Ho from
Lend quarters. I told him that the only object 4.f my join..
'ley was the tranquillity of the country, the safety of his per-
usal, and the ealiblishment of his thruue. That I had it i•lied
by thisonran to prevent the evils which might be 111.rasion.

e::'•utatust respecting uric disohedience, and our views being
epposid to the happy resioration of that c-institutional sys-
ti in which his Majesty had adopted—a syiteni ou which
c.:lr ahoy and future prosperity depend. I told him,
a•rueg saber thinas, that in my npuilou the order
for the dissohiliou of the army was intmilitie, as it hail de-
st:oyed the confiiience of the Chichi aryl soldiers wlito cunt-
posed it, as well as that of the nation, hy ;xi Mire doubts as
to the frankness of the executive power. If I did not ex-
press myself in three vii y stores, I at least made his Ala.'s:sly
to undastaud this in a clear planner. I uhsrived to Lim,

chief (M. Agar), who, while at their head, bad been able to
wssierlain gond order in that impo►tant provisce &ring the
moot critical moments; that his sentiments for the eonalitn-
throat system, and his attachment to the Royal Family could
not be doubted. I added to these reasons some which were
more powerfol, that the people and the army in Asada'snit
desired my stay in that country at the head of the troops.
" Uu Majesty condescended to hear me attentively, and
to prove to me by the must flattering expressions the good
opinion whirls he had conceived of the nobleness of my sen-
timent', adding, that though he wonlil not change in any
thing the orders given, my disobedience hail not displeased
him. I have bail a long interview with Miyjsle►s, in which
I held the same laugsage as in my representations to his
Majesty. I allowed myself the liberty of reproaching them
with administering •fairs in a way opposed to the opi-
nion of the motion aid of the army. I told them that my
views and those of my soldiers lisd no other end than the
interest of the country. Above all, I dwelt on the neces-
sity of preserving the runty of San Fernando, under the de-
nomination of am army of oblervalios ; that one of is
ought to command the province of Seville, the other that
of Cadiz ; and that fur myself I should have the maritime
command, which ought to be composed of battalions.
I will hot speak of th reception which I experienced in the
capital; all my ambition is comprised in the defence of my
country and my constitutional King. In the heat of fer-
mentation which exists, the faithful instrument of the exe.
come :mil legislative autiloritics, I will take no step which
lass not for its end the only object which I have proposed to
myself since the Ist June, that (as you have sees) of dying,
if be necessary, for the sacred cause of our new constitn.

The Pacha of Scutari is, according to the last

ROME, AUGUST 2s.

We receive from various quarters of the Roman
States aremintv of incredible damage done by a
dreadful Imil.stortn, on the 16th ins•ant. One
account from Tivoli, of the 17th, says, " After
one hundred uncommonly dry days, • heavy storm
of hail fell yesterday. and ravaged the whole dis:
trict for twenty minutes ; the greater part of the
olive trees, vineyards, sod gardens were ruined.
The damage done to the country is estimated et

almost all the windows were broke.
