MADRID, APRIL 22.—1 t, seems ant Louisiana

is in,insurrection against the Anglo-Americans.
APRIL 27.--They write from Valencia, on the '
,T.4th,-,that• the King could not assist at the Te
Deunt celebrated in the Cathedral for the .de-
thronement of Bonaparte, on accqpnt'of-a slid t
attack of the gout, which kept him at home.
Majesty has ordered 25,000 ma's to be 'paid o'.t
of his purse to relieve the Officers of the second
Army, who were made prisoners, and have fled
from France.

In the sitting of the Cortes on the 27th, a dis-
patch was read from the,Commander in Chief of
the First Army, dated liens, the 19th inst. which
says," On the 15th ult„'the disposable part of the
garrison of Barcelona, consisting of 000 infantry,
100 hoise, and four pieces of cannon, made. a
sally; the enemy was overthrown, and defeated
by our brave troops, those who weee not killed
being taken prisoners ; the action was One of the
mose brilliant of the whide war."

A dispatch from Lord Wellingtori.had, how-
ever, been previously communicated to the Cortes,
in which was announced the convention- with
SucLiet, and the -agreement that the French troops
should evacuate -Barcelona, and.all the other for-
tresses of Catalonia.

MADRID, APRIL 23.—The English Ambassador
is on the point o 1 retuning to this eapifal front
his journey to Valencia. His Majesty has for-'
bidden all illuminations. at Valencia, to prevent
cxpence:

• The -Co4ciso is full of political disquisitions,
as, they.tend to spew two parties diame-
trically opposed to- each other, in -respect. to- the
"degree of. power to. be. allowed to, the King,. are
nut without interest. One of the best,: of whith
the following is, the substance, is. entitled,".
. will be the opi7iion of Madrid -T,
In the state of suspense' in which the nation
is, concerning the resolution Which Ferdinathi
will take, the provinces must'Oe anxious to kni;:v
the 'opinion of the, capital.
" Madrid, a model of loyalty to Ferdina.mi VET.
and witness to the abuses which Ministers, un-
cheeked by laws, Commit in the nameof Kings,
can have no other`wish than to see Ferdinalid
seated on the throne as a constitutional King. The
'Father of the Spaniards, and. free from all respon-
sibility, will not be blamed' for the faults iliac
may .becommitted (and such are inevitable) ; but
they will .he attnited to the ignorance or in-
capacity of his Ministers. •
" The wish of the capital can be no other than
that of seeing a just King, sensii'ofe of the real si-
tuation of Spain; of the progress of the hubian
mind, of 'the state of civilizatiOn which DiraPe
has attaimed, worthy of a nation which has mate
so many sacrifices for its independence,_and to p.c. --
serve its crown: for Ferdinand. Those ‘vould-
grossly deceive him who Should advise hiM to ob-
ject to swearing to the constitution, compoet of
the ancient laws of Spain, which is the fiyincst
basis ofitis own throne, of the future prOsperity
of the, nation,-7a constitution revered by all trite
Spauiirds, even those who speak ;gainst it, i?o:
they also perceive its advantageS, but personal in-
' terestS Make them' oppose it. The ConstitutiOn
was not made in a hurry-, but solemnly, sworn to
by all the people, with good. fzlith, and a con-
viction of its advantages' both to the People.and
to the King.-
" ThOse would deceive Ferdinand who at-
tempted to persuade him that the Spaniards wilt
ucede from the steps they 'wive taken, or that it
is an ill-founded i iaxiin v•Vhich Says, "rhe peo-
ple are thetrue support of. the. throne.'
The capital expects from.Ferdinaud the happi-
ness ho-th of Spain and of the iiltra-marine pro-
vinces: Verdiband„, the Constitutional King V
Spainl; these words are better than an army, to
restore peace to 'the new world. But it Ferdinand
should be deceived by flatterers ! What can we
hope from the Americans this doubt ncen-
sions great evils in the two worlds. Who causes
them ? Not Ferdinand; we know the purity of his
heart, the rectitude of his intentions but; he is; a
man, and may be deceived."
. Another article observes, that it would be the
height of ignominy, if in a nation-which has-been.
a model for Europe, , and shewn such firmness
this terrible conflict, four individuals should be
able to say to millions of Spaniards, sic vos, nor'
&c.

try, the constitution, and King-Ferdinand.
