SPAIN:

PAMPELUNA, OcT. 10.
The Military Commandant of the Province and Governor
of this town, has transmitted to me the copy of a letter ad=
dressed to him from Bayonne on the 15th of last month by the

Ex-General Eguia. I lay it before the public, together with -
the report made to Government by the said Military Com-
mandant, through the medium of -the Minister of War.
have added thereto the letter I have written to the Prefect of
the Lower Pyrennees, in my character of Political Chief, and
also the Royal Ordinance which has resulted from it.
LETTER OF THE EX-GENERAL EG-ITIA TO THE POLITI-
CAL CHIEF, GOVERNOR OF PAMPELUNA.
I have learnt. that Lieutenant-Colonel Don Gregario Garces,
and some of his brothers in arms who had the misfortune to be
made prisoners in the environs of Tudela, are about to be car-
ried before an ordinary Council of War, which probably will
condemn them to capital punishment.
If your Excellency, forgetting the laws of war, despising the
law of nations, and shutting your ears against the complaints
of an unfortunate wife and the claims of humanity-, should be so
criminally base as to authorize or approve the sentence of death,
I, exercising the right of reprisal, the moment I learn it has
been carried into execution, shall cause to be put to death two
constitutional officers for every defender of the Faith who may
be sacrificed : they shall be selected from among those officers
who are now in my power, or from those who shall hereafter be
made prisoners. I moreover make you and the members of the
Council of War responsible before God and man for this infamous
proceeding, should it unfortunately be carried into execution.
God preserve you. (Signed) FRANCIS EGU.IA.
Baycinne, Sept. 15, 1822.
REPORT OF THE MILITARY COMMANDANT TO THE GO-

VERNMEN T.
I inclose to your Excellency a copy of the dispatch addressed
to me from Bayonne on the lath of this month, by the ex-Ge-
neral Eguia. This document arrived here a few moments be-
fore General Espinosa departed with a regiment under his com-
mand for Tatalla. 1 communicated it to him as was my duty,
and he directed me to make it known to your Excellency, and
to rtturn no answer to it. I have acted in conformity with this
order, but certainly not withoueregretting that political circum-
stances do not permit me (although I have no right to approve
or disapprove of the sentences pronounced by extraordinary
councils of war) to show the writer that his menaces would not
prevent me from fulfilling my duties as a soldier and a citizen.
It is impossible to see without horror that the perverse sup-
porter of despotism, the enemy of men and of knowledge, who
• deliberately persecutes the most distinguished Spaniards, dares,
whilst sheltering on the soil of a friendly power, to declare that
we violate the rights of humanity, in punishing the attempts of
the accomplices of his crimes, or of the instruments whom lie
employs to satisfy Isis passions, and his sanguinary habits.
It is certainly deplorable that brave officers should perish by
the atrocious orders of a man grown old in crime ; but the Go.
vernment doubtless will bestow its attention on this point, and
will call upon France to surrender up the monster, to whom
she affords an asylum in spite of so many protestations.
The original dispatch is still in my possession. I could not
venture to send it to you in the present state of affairs. It will
one day serve as the Lead of an accusation against this perverse,
atrocious, and sanguinary man ; and against those who sup-
port.and protect him. I will send it to you the first favourable
opportunity.
Pampeluna, Sept. 20,1822.

LETTER FROM THE POLITICAL CHIEF TO THE PREFECT

OF THE LOWER PYRENNEES.
SlR—The quondam General Don Francisco Eguia has re-
tired to Bayonne, whence he blows up the flame of discord, and
issues commands in quality of General of an Army hostile to
the Spanish nation. Of this lam in possession of proofs ; one
of which is the annexed copy of a despatch which he has ad-
dressed to me. The French nation must be scandalized to see
a superannuated man, initiated in crime, the persecutor of the
best citizens of Spain, of those who supported the war of inde-
pendence with honour and courage, or who distinguished them-
selves in the Extraordinary Cortes of Cadiz, which was re-
garded as so beneficial to Europe, and particularly to France—
the French nation must be scandalized to see such a man pre-
sume, on retiring to a friendly territory, to denounce as crimi-
nals the public functionaries, who fulfil their duties as men and
citizens in pronouncing the decrees of the law against the leader
of rebellion. Spain will never encroach upon the Law of Na-
tions. She has not confounded, nor never will confound, a pri-
soner of war with a rebel taken with arms in his hands. As an
integral part of Europe she will conform to the laws which the
rest of Europe observes.
1 report to you this scandalous fact, and consequently hope
that you will communicate it to your Government, who will
certainly prohibit from remaining longer on the frontier a Spa-
niard who from thence commits the greatest crimes that can be
committed against a friendly nation. if from motives of gene-
rosity the French Government should be content to assign to
him another residence, and to treat him as an unemployed
General, his perversity, his ingratitude, his hatred of knowledge
and of those who distinguish themselves in the career of litera-
ture or arms, will not permit him tranquilly to enjoy the hospi-
tality of a country to which, in availing himself of the rights of
an individual, he has chosen to retire. But full of honourable
respect for those rights, France will not suffer the asylum she
grants to be abused for the-purpose of violating the more sacred
and more extensive tights of a neighbouring people, convinced
as she must be, that the continuance of the friendly relations at
present existing is calculated to ensure her prosperity, and to
give her that political ascendancy in Europe to which she may
lay claim if she be closely united to Spain, her natural ally.
In addressing myself to you on the present occasion, I am
not actuated by personal fear. It is not my business to approve
or disapprove of the sentences pronounced against the factious,
after they have undergone a trial in which, like other citizens,
they have been allowed the guarantees provided by the legisla-
tion of a free and enlightened people. Whenever I may hap-
pen to be engaged in these trials I shall not suffer myself to be
intimidated by the threats of a superannuated, atrocious, and
sanguinary old man ; nor even by those which a powerful na-
tion may fulminate against me, for having, like other citizens,
faithfully discharged the duties which my conscience and the
law impose on me. If I write to you, it is because being in-
trusted with the preservation of the internal as well as the
external tranquillity of this province, in my quality of Political
Chief and Military Commandment, I must cause to be respected
the law of nations, and the independence and dignity of the
Spanish people.
I beg of you to acknowledge the receipt of this letter. I hope
that on the present occasion you will not fail to do all that is
required by policy, urbanity, and the relations which should
always subsist between the princial functionaries of two neigh
bouring powers.
Pampeluna, Sept. 22.

RAMON SANCHEZ SALVADOR,
The Political Chief; ad interim.

ROYAL ORDINANCE.
The 31inister of War has addressed to me what follows, un-
der
the date of the 27th of September :
The General in Chief of the arm of operation for the fifth
military district will conform to the following orders.
The King has received a communication of the dispatch of
the Military Commandant of the province of Pampeluna, dated
the 20th of this month ; also of the summons by the quondam
General Eguia, which summons contains a threat of reprisals,
in case that sentence of death should be pronounced against the
factious Garces and others, imprisoned on the same charge in
the citadel of this town ; and a notification that two constitu-
tional officers will be put to death, for every rebel condemned
to capital punishment. His Majesty has therefore determined,
that you shall make known to the military commandant of the
province of Pampeluna, that the menaces of Eguia can never
be allowed to paralize the execution of what is prescribed by
the constitution and the laws, to which your Excellency has
to confOrm, in the process instituted against the factious who
are in custody. The same obligation is imposed on the func-
tionaries placed under your orders in what concerns them. His
Majesty at the same time has thought, fit to make known
through me to your Excellency, that it is your duty to give the
necessary notifications to the military authorities under you, in
order that they may understand how little attention they ought
to pay to threats of this kind. I communicate this order to
you directly, lest the difficulty and tardiness of the communi-
cations should prevent you from receiving it soon enough from
the General in Chief.
Vittoria, Oct. 4. JOSE DE SANTA CRUZ,
General Commandant of the sth military district.

RAMIRE SANCHEZ RAMON SALVADOR.

Pampeluna, Oct. 10.
BAYONNE, OCT. 19.—We have received news from Irun,
dated yesterday, which announce that the column of Royalists
under Barrulla and Zabala entered Guiguscoa on the 15th by
way of Zegama and Ognate ; that the constitutional force under
the Pastor, who was already informed of their motions' imme-
diately advanced towards Vergara ; and that on the 16th, in
The evening, they overtook, their adversaries in the mountains
which surround that town, and entirely dispersed the soldiers
of those two partizans, who retreated into the mountains of
Ognate,.doubtless with the intention of returning to Navarre,
but Espinosa had detached into the valley of Baraounda two ,
columns of 100 men each, and 30 horses, to hinder the retreat
of these remnants of the Army of the Faith. It is supposed,
therefore, that by this time those two chiefs will have met with
the same fate as the division of Irati.
According to the orders of Eguia, all the fugitives were to
assemble on two or three points on the frontiers of France to be
organized, and to resume offensive operations.
By accounts given by people of Navarre, coming from the
frontiers of Catalonia, we have learnt that the army of Mina
still occupies the same line, which is that which affords the
most resources ; that this General still keeps on the defen-
sive, and will not adopt any other plan till the bands of
Royalists which infest Tarragona, Montblanc, and Villa-
frana ,shall havebl b been.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ?

LONDON,
MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1822.

There were various reports on 'Change early
this morning : the first was, that an Express had
arrived from Verona to an eminent Broker in the
Stock Exchange, stating, that the Allied Powers
were determined that the King of SPAIN should
be at liberty to act with his own free will.—
Another report was also current, stating, that
the French Army on the Frontiers of Spain
were on the eve of marching into that country.—
The above rumours had some effect in depre-
ciating our Funds by the sale of a large amount.
It is needless to add, that all reports of this kind
should be received with the greatest caution.

Our Foreign Intelligence is taken from the
Paris Papers of Thursday and Friday last. The
Journal des Debuts, a Ministerial paper, contains
an article in favour of the Greeks, which gives
some strength to the reviving hope that Russia
may still carry her meditated invasion of Turkey

into execution. The Porte, it is said, has im-
periously demanded the delivery of the fortresses
occupied by the Russians on the banks of the
Phasis ; and has declared that it expects a
formal disavowal from Russia of the language
of Baron STROGONOFF, during his mission
at Constantinople ! In consequence of these
lhaughty demands, and of the invincible obstinacy
'of the Turks in rejecting all friendly counsel,
or the shadow of interference i❑ behalf of Greece,
it is alleged that the Emperor ALEXANDER has
announced his resolution to employ force for
bringing the Divan to reason. The Journal des
Debuts supports the legitimacy of the Greek in-
surrection, and quotes the language of Baron
STROGONOFF, to prove that a Russian war ought
to have been the result of the obstinacy with
which the Turks continue their system of op-

pression.

An article from Constantinople, of the 25th of
September, states that the Porte has not only
ordered the surrender to the Treasury, of all arti-
cles of gold and silver, but that in its financial
distress it has resorted to the desperate expedient
of quintupling the value of all the gold and silver
coins. From these symptoms of utter exhaustion,
and from the disasters in the Morea, the ravages
of the Persians, and the increasing discontents
of the Mussulmans, who are now burthened with
all the taxes for the support of an unsuccessful
contest, the writer hesitates not to express his an-
ticipation of the speedy downfall of the Ottoman
dominion. The Turks themselves are said to
predict in their mosques the dissolution of their
Empire, and their apprehensions must be not a
little increased by their superstitious belief in an
ancient prophesy which foretells the subversion
of their detestable rule. There is no authentic
intelligence from Spain except the official cor-
respondence relative to the threat of reprisals
held out by the Royalist EGUIA, with the view

von
of preventing the trial and capital exec"- of
kto
t3P-
the Royalist Colonel GARCES and others/
pre'
prisoners by the Constitutionalists. EGtll-
posterous threats have been very properly
garded ; and the French authorities have bece
applied to for his removal from Bayonne,whe
he openly dates his hostile proceedings.

THE THEATRES.

DRUIIY44ANE.-Therevival of The Suspicious
Husband, on Saturday last, seems to promise the
restoration of some of those sterling old Come-
dies which have been too long superseded by the
flimsy compositions of the day.—ELLTSTON en-
tered into the spirit of Ranger, and gave anima-
tion to the whole. POPE gave a good portrait
of the restless jealousy of Strickland. Frankly
has seldom had so good a representative as
COOPER. The part of Bellamy was performed
by Mr. MEncEa, from the Liverpool Stage, and
he acquitted himself respectably. Mrs. DAVISON
returned to this Theatre in the part of Clarinda,
and supported it with effective gaiety.—Mrs.
WEST was the Jacintha, and it was very evident
that practice will soon render her one of our best
comic Actresses. Mrs. ORGER supported Mrs.
Strickland with feeling and an air of domestic
be following anecdote is told :
When QUIN, who hated pantomimic tricks, and
whose judgment required strong character, vigo-
rous dialogue, and probable fable, or, in other
words, legitimate comedy, was consulted about
a proper title for this Play, he growlingly said,
" Call it The liat and the Ladder."--The House
was crowded.

COVENT-GAF:DI:N.-Mr. MAsos resumed the
character of Young Norval on Saturday last, and
while it confirmed us in a favourable opinion of
the pretensions of so juvenile a Performer, it
excited in us increased surprise that his first
effort should have been so rancorously assailed
by a diurnal Critic, who has, we perceive, this
day renewed his ungracious hostility. The au-
dience, however, obviously thought differently,
and rewarded his efforts with warm and mental ap-
plause. Mrs. W. CLIFFORD again displayed feeling
and judgment in the part of Lady Randolph,Y AT ES
gave a good outline of Glenalvon, and some of
his sarcastic touches were very effective. Old
Noma/ was represented i❑ a very aifecting man-
ner by BARTLEY, and the tragedy altogether
was received with approbation and sympathy.

[FROM THE CHARLESTON COURIER, SEPT. 11.]
U. St: SCHOONER GRAMPUS.—A letter was re-
ceived yesterday, from an officer on board the
Grampus, dated at St. Thomas on the 12th
ult. It mentions that they made their run from
this port to St. Barts. in 11 days. In ex-
changing salutes on entering the harbour, one
of the soldiers in the fort had his arm shatter-
ed through carelessness, in not effectually
sponging his gun, and the Surgeon of the Gram-
pus was invited, by direction of the Governor,
to assist the Surgeon of the fort in amputating it.
The officers, generally, received many civilities
from the Governor, &c. of St. Barts. The trade
of St. Barts. and St. Thomas is expected to suf-
fer materially by the opening of the British West
Indies to foreigh trade.

A recent Letter from Cambrai states, tha
there is the greatest life in trade and manufac
tures all throughout Picardy, Artois, and French
Flanders. At St. Luentia a new town is actually
erected, and finished with the greatest modern
taste. The small towns and great manufacturing
villages in the plains of Lisle are also doing a
great stroke of business. The number of houses,
workshops, and warehouses, daily increase.
Lady NUGENT, we are happy to state, is much
recovered from her late severe indisposition.
Mr. M. P. KING, we are concerned to hear,
has been for some time seriously ill ; and we
regret to state, his medical attendants do not yet
consider him out of danger.
Viscountess CRANBOURN was safely delivered
of a daughter on Thursday, at her house in St.
James's-place. Her Ladyship and infant are
both as well as can be expected.
The Earl of CLANCARTY, with his family and
suite, embarked yesterday morning at the Tower
Stairs on board the King of the Netherlands
steam vessel, Capt. N. B. BULL, for Rotterdam.
The number of English residing at Lausanne
and its environs, at the beginning of the present
month, was estimated at 1,500. The fashionable
season had just commenced ; Lady DUNDAS and
her three amiable daughters gave the first ;rand
ball. The evening following, Madame VAVA.•
SEUR gave a magnificent ball, to which all the
English were invited. Mr. JOHN KEMBLE occu-
pies a beautiful villa, called Beausite, adjoining
the town, and bordering on the'Lake, surrounded
chiefly by vineyards ; he is visited almost daily
by a number of the most distinguished per-
sonages, and he frequently entertains select
parties.
DUEL.—An affair of honour took place on the
4th inst. on the frontiers, near Ferney, in France,
between Sir FRANCIS VINCENT, Bart. and T. ST.
FELIX, 'Esq.; the former attended by Sir JAmes
WenncanuaN„ and the latter by Captain DE
THEEVINE ; when after an exchange of two shots
each the seconds interfered, and the parties left
the ground on amicable terms.
1118. BOWRlNG.—Extract of a letter from
Boulogne, dated Wednesday, two o'clock :
" The packet being on the point of sailing, I
have only time to say, that after a long interro-
gatory before the Procureur du Roi and Juge
d'lnstruction, the mist au secret . has been taken
off Mr. BowaING, who is now enabled to see
his friends and breathe a somewhat better at-
mosphere. The examination related exclusively
to the four young men recently executed in
Paris, and had no reference whatever to the
letters and official dispatch seized on his person.
It is now very generally supposed that the pri-
soner will be set at liberty in the course of a
few days. I perceive the French Papers have
been as full of this singular affair as those of
London."
It appears by letters of the 17th inst. received
on Saturday from Bayonne, that M. VILLELE,
the French Minister, has treated very cavalierly
the Memorial of the Merchants of that City re-
specting the interruption of the Spanish mails.—
lie did not condescend to give them any direct
answer, but merely caused an intimation to be
conveyed to them by the Prefect of the Depart-
ment, that " the apprehensions of the Chamber
of Commerce were wholly illusory."—(Eng-
lishman.)
