" On the .22t1 of April, a 'detachment of UMans
proceeded from ''bra to Wundsiedel, a town in the
principality of Bayreuth, where they arrested Mr.

Iramported_into the interior of Bohemia, and their,

informed of this- proceeding, so contrary to the
rights of nations, atvl the principles received among
eviviliZed nations, caused the Count de Zeitvititz, the
Sedge of the village of Dittel, and the Post-Master
of 4sch, to be arrested. These three hostages will
answer for the safety of the two Civil Officera air ,

their liberty till the others are rendered to their fa-.

(PRIVATE LETTREO

SEvzum, MAN. 6.-. The report of riti immediate
announcing, the Convocation-Of thb General
Cortes. in Spain, gains. credit every (Jar, and is re-.
ceived with enthosiasirs and delight by ail classes of
people. It is highly honourable=to the little province
of Asturias in addition to the early declaration of its
sentiments, and the great milieu), exertions with
which it has supported therti—that of the two De,
puties whirl) it has sent to the Central Anita, the
one, Jovellanos, is said to be the author; the other,
Marquis of Campo Sagrado, a strenuous supporter of
the measure, which the capti% e King Ferdinaud
himself recOmMended, and Which Will restore the
people of 'Spain - to their ancient rights • and consti-
tution. The Deputy. from Zaragosa,by name Calos,
and the Secretary of the Innta; Garay, who •is also
an -Arragonese, are among the warmest of its advo-
cates ; another proof thayhose most firm and deter-
mined in the cause of national independence, are to
be found in all communities, among those who
are attached to the internal freedom,of their coun-
try, and have a bias in favour of popular Govern-
ment.

In addition to the above intelligence• it appears by
the last accounts received from Seville, that the
army of Estramadura, commanded* by Gen. CUesta
in person, consists at present of 25,000 effeetive in-
fantry, and about 7000 effeetive cavalry. The whole
of the infantry, and:one half of the cavalry,.are on
the other side ache Sierra Morena; head-quarters
at Monaslerio, advanced -post at Fuente,de Cantos
and Santos. The other half of the' caValry, under
the command of the Duke of Abergnerque, are upon
this side ot the Sierra, being quartered in the vil-
lages about Seville, on account of the scarcity of
linage in Estramadura. Besides these forces there is
a garrison of 5000 men in Badajoz, as many in
Cuidad Rodrigo, and bodies of armed peasants dis'.
persed all over the country., Who harass the enemy
exceedingly. The army of Carolina, COMM3' deed
by Vinegas; under Cuesta, is COMpoSed of rather
more than 15,-000 infantry, and about 2000 effeCtive
cavalry. •
It• has been proposed to form an army of reserve
at Carmona; but thodgh the rueasdre seems to be
generally approved of; it has not yet been adopt
Were it carried into efivii, a large army 'nigh, So;.

ttdops, and levies of raw soldiers, who arc at Pre-

want of arms is the great difficulty Which impedes
the execution of this, arid ot otherprojects, for the
increase of the Spanish armies, and preventS,- as it
has done Irani the commencement of the war, tae
Spanish Government from availing i self of the zeal
and ardour of the pettple, to form and brin,:t.itife the
field armies superior in nunmer to their enenties.—
