SPAIN.

SPANISH FRONTIERS, SEPT. 27.—The Junta of
Navarre submitted its powers to the Regency of
Sco d'Urgel on the 20th of this month ; thus the
most perfect harmony prevails amongst the Spa-
nish Royalist troops which are stationed upon the
frontiers of France.
The Royalist army of Biscay has entered Navarre to combat
the reinforcements which have been sent to the Constitutional
General Espinosa. The authorities of Seville have set a price
upon the head of the Royalist Chief Zaldivar. The Gazette de
Madrid of the 16th announces that 20,000 reals had been pro-
mised to any one who should bring Zaldivar to Seville, whether
dead or alive ; but that Gazette does not mention an official
fact, which is, that Zaldivar has offered forty thousand teals to
him who shall bring him the head of the Chief Justice of the
Province.

General Espinosa, with the assistance of a French smuggler,
who acts as a spy, arrived on the night of the 14th September,
at Orchagavia, where the Junta of Navarre was sitting. Sur-
prised at his arrival, the Royalists flew to arms to repulse him.
Espinosa in the end retired, but reappeared the next morning at
five o'clock, and killed some twenty soldiers whom he found
asleep. The Royalists then retreated from Orchagavia, and
took up a position in the neighbouring mountains. The two
parties had about 1200 men each. At eight o'clock the attack
commenced. Espinosa charged the Royalists with his cavalry
and the rest of his troops, consisting of provincial militia, who
fought with desperate fury. Notwithstanding the ardour of
the enemy, General Arredondo sustained the attack for up,
wards of four hours and a half ; and although the greater part
of his troops had only arrived two days at Orchagavia, and had
never been in the field before, they obtained a signal victory
over the Constitutionalists.

The battle at one time was in favour of the Liberals, but the
Lieutenant-Colonel of the Imperial Regiment of Alexander
having been killed in the action, Espinosa's army got into dis-
order. It was with the greatest difficulty that this officer suc-
ceeded in rallying three Companies to carry off the body of the
Lieutenant-Colonel ; but they were eventually repulsed, and
General Espinosa retreated upon Pampeluna in the greatest
disorder.

The Royalists lost a subaltern officer killed, and 40 men
wounded. The loss of the Liberals in comparison has been

immense.

On the 26th a corps of 400 men presented themselves at Trati
and demanded arms—they were immediately given to them, and
these brave Royalists entered into active service.

EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM SPAIN, BY AN

ITALIAN EMIGRANT.

" Arens de Mar, Sept. 10, 1822.

" The emigrants in Catalonia are to be formed into three
companies ; one commanded by Colonel 011ini, is stationed in
the province of Gerona ; the two others, to one of which I belong,
are commanded by Colonel Pacherotti, and under the orders of
General Milans. We have been some days in this country,
after various excursions through every part of Catalonia, and
several encounters with rebels, which have always redounded
to our glory. The last which we made, on the Ist inst. was in
the County of Tordera, containing the head-quarters of a fac-
tious Chief, with 1000 men under his orders. We were about
190 emigrants, 12 militia cavalry, and four of us mounted on
private horses, and about 150 militia on foot. Half a league
before entering Tordera, we met the advanced posts of the Fac-
tious, which skirmished with us, and gave information to their
main body, who were encamped, to retire from the place.—
We entered, notwithstanding, pursued the rebels more than
a league, killed some, and took 40 horses, mules, and six
waggons of flour, liberated various Patriots who were prisoners,
and then withdrew, because the enemy was reinforced by
the arrival of three hundred men, who were in a neighbouring
district, and by various brigands from the environs, and be-
cause we could only trust to our bayonets. The enemy ob-
served our heavy and slaw retreat, and used all possible means
to attain the heights which commandel the pass through which
our retreat lay, but all in vain. We sustained his fire from
half-past six till two in the afternoon, having suffered hunger
and thirst, and performed a march of fourteen continuous hours.
The result of the day was, that we killed 25 of the 'factious,

wounded 40, left three priests dead, one severely wounded,
and took another, forty horses, six waggons of grain, and one
other. On our part, the loss was three wounded, and four
bruised. Among • the former was the brave Pacherotti ; he
was wounded by a ball in the left side, but is recovering.—
Colonel Bressa commands at present. As this tool: place
while we remained alone in the action, on account of the militia
on both sides having been obliged to retire, it has acquired us
general praise. A request has been forwarded from Barcelona
to Madrid to procure naturalization for us all, and to incor-
porate us with the national regiments with our respective rank.
On the same day when we fought in Tordera, the company
of Gerona fought in Casa della Selva. They were fl 4 against
200 ; they repulsed the enemy, killed 15, and wounded many.
Being afterwards- surprised by a corps of 500, they were con-
strained to retire into a .church, where they defended themselves
courageously, until they were delivered by a corps of the Con-
stiutional troops. They had four killed and six wounded.—
By this sort of fatality, we who could not free our own country
with our lives, now glory in sacrificing them to support liberty
in the land which has generously received us."

PORTUGAL.
THE CORTES.—SITTING o SEPT. 20.

The order of the day was the debate on the
opinion of the Committee of the Constitution, on
the motion of Senor Miranda. After a consider-
able debate, the first article was put to the vote,
and approved in its original form :

Art. 1. The decree of the 3d of June last, convoking Consti-
tuent Cortes, is null.
An addition to this article, proposed by Senor Xavier Mon-
teiro, was discussed. Senor Barrata disapproved of it, saying
it might lead to fatal consequences, and that the Prince might
call the Emperor of Austria to his aid.—[These last words
caused considerable' noise not only in the Assembly but in the
galleries, which was not appeased till the President had several
times called to order. ]—The addition was rejected.
Some Members having spoken on the 2d, 3d, 4th, sth, 6th,
and 7th articles, they were approved as follows :-
2. The Minister or Ministers' who signed this decree are
highly responsible for the illegality of so despotic a determina-
tion, and shall be impeached.
3. The Government of Rio Janeiro disobeying the Cortes and
constituting itself independent, is a Government de facto, and
not a Government de jure, and the voluntary obedience of any
authority will be criminal.

These two articles are rather different from the form in which
they were first proposed. In the third, after the word inde-
pendent, were the words against the inclination of the people of
Brazil, which were omitted on the motion of Senor Baneto
Feio, who observed, that for this it might be inferred that if
the Government of Rio,daneir6 had acted thus with the consent
of the people of Brazil, it would be a Government de jure, and
consequently it would follow that any province of which an em-
pire was composed,:might declare itself independent at its own
pleasure; —a principle so monstrous, that no person, however de-
mocratical, has ever yet maintained it—so absurd, that it can-
not enter into any head where there is the smallest spark of
reason or common sense.

4. The delegated power given to the Prince being at atvend,
the King is immediately to appoint a Regency to exercise the
delegated power as decreed by the Constitution.
5. The Prince Royal is to embark directly for Portugal within
one month after the present decree shall be notified to him, and
if, contrary to expectation, .he should not obey this decision,
the measures shall be taken which the Constitution provides
when the King or the Prince go out of the kingdom without
the permission of the Cortes.

6. Any commander of the sea or land forces who shall obey
the actual Government of Rio de Janeiro shall be accounted a
traitor, unless compelled to it by force.

7. The Government shall, by all the means in its power, pro-
vide for the execution of these resolutions.

Two opinions of the Committee relative to the refusal of some
of the Brazilian Deputies to sign the Constitution, was discussed
in the sittings of the 20th and 21;t, and approved. The Com-
mittee judged the reasons alleged by these Deputies to be in-
sufficient. In the sitting of the 23d the Deputies signed the
Constitution-136 were present ; 20 were absent. In the next
sitting four others signed ; at the end of this sittiitg the Presi-
dent said that the Constitution was now sealed, and furnished
with the signatures of the Secretaries, and he proposed that the
social compact should be declared to be complete. This was
approved, and it was then declared that sixteen Members had
not signed, nine of whom had alleged sufficient reasons, and
seven had not assigned sufficient grounds. Among the former
were four from Brazil,: the latter seven were all from Brazil.

All the other Brazilian Deputies signed. In the Sitting of
the 25th, the project of decree was brought forward to create a
new order for the reward of merit ; and on the 26th another
decree relating to the commercial relations between Portugal
and Brazil.

Llsnolsr, SEPT. "28.—0 n the 25th, Lisbon was witness of a
most magnificent and impressive ceremony—the procession of
the Deputation of the Cortes, to present to the King the Con-
stitution of the Portuguese Monarchy. When the President
of the Deputation addressed his Majesty, and came to the pas-
sage, where he said the King was at liberty to take the oath to
the Constitution or not, his Majesty interrupted him, and said
he had already sworn to the bases, and would keep his oath,
and that he now swore to the Constitution.

The St. John Baptist, in 47 days from Pernambuco, has
brought accounts of serious disturbances in that colony, and ex-
cesses against the European forces anti inhabitants. It brought
40 passengers, and more are expected with an English vessel.
It is understood that the Portuguese Government relinquish
the claim to the additional duty of 15 per cent. on British
woollen goods.

BERLIN, SEPT. V.—A few days ago at one in
the morning, a well-dressed young woman of 19 I
was found in front of a house in this city severely
wounded in the head and one of her limbs. She
was removed to the Town-house. Upon inquiry
she was discovered to be the daughter of a re-
spectable and wealthy citizen, who in conse-
quence of missing her the day before, had pub-
lished advertisements in the papers. According
to the deposition made by the young woman, it
appears that two military men accosted her in the
evening, as she was returning from seeing a friend
that notwithstanding she disengaged herself from
them several times, they pursued her and carried
her by force to one of their comrades. They
then made propositions to her contrary to her
honour, and on her refusal threatened violence.
She had then no other resource but to leap from
a window, the doing of which had thrown her
into the-state in which she was found. This
affair has made a great sensation, and it is sup-
posed to have given occasion to a severe Cabinet
order concerning the military. The three cri-
minals will be severely punished, particularly if,
as it is reported to-day, the girl is dead of her
wounds.

THE SUN.

SOLEM QUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT

LONDON,
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1822.

In our preceding columns we have inserted
extracts from the Paris Papers of Saturday,
Lisbon Journals to the 29th ult., and liamburgh
and Frankfort Papers to a recent date.
The Portuguese Constitution has been signed
and sealed by the KING, and by all the Mem-
bers of the Cortes, except a few of the Bra-
zilian Deputies. The KING and the Represen-
tatives of the Nation seem to have completed
this great work in a spirit of unanimity
and concord that affords the promise of
permanent national tranquillity. It is, how-
ever, evident that the proceedings of the Cortes
respecting the Brazils are calculated to sever
the feeble link of connection which still sub-
sists between Portugal and her Colonies. The
Prince is commanded to return to Europe, under
pain of being punished for disobedience, and all
who shall unforced obey his authority, or any
other authority than that which shall be esta-
blished by the Portuguese Government, are de-
nounced as traitors. If the Prince should obey
the peremptory order for his return, it is very
probable that the result will be the establishment
of the Brazilian Provinces into an independent
Republic. If, on the other hand, he should de-
cide on remaining in America, in defiance of the
mandate of the Mother Country, he will of
course declare himself Sovereign of the Brazils.
—The article from Lisbon in these Papers says,
" It is understood that the Portuguese Govern-
ment relinquish the claim to the additional duty
of 15 per cent. on British woollen goods."

FROM BUENOS AYRES.—A letter of the 22d
June says,—" Letters from Lima to the 21st
April quote American flour at 30 dollars per
barrel ; but, from the great anxiety felt at the
time for the safety of the city, and the scarcity
of money, it would be difficult to secure the pro-
ceeds. The Royalists had actually defeated and
cut up a division of. SAN MARTIN'S army at
Pisco, consisting of 1500 men. Foreigners were
removing their property to Callao, in case of the
Royalists getting the better of SAN MARTIN in a

general engagement."
FUOM RIO JANEIRO.—We learn from Captain
DAvis, of the Brig Dispatch, arrived at New
York from Rio Janeiro, that the Portuguese
troops had taken possession of St. Salvadore, and
had driven the troops back. The Brazilians had
sent to Rio for assistance, and one frigate and two
corvettes with 1,000 stand of arms had been sent
there. In a battle between the Portuguese and
Brazilians the latter lost 200 men.

COLUMBIA.—ST. THOMAS, AUG. 6.—This new
county presents a most interesting aspect. There
is no doubt of General MORALES having retired
with about 700 men to Porte Cabello from Caro,
it is stated he was so hard pressed as to abandon
considerable part of his baggage getting on board
the fleet.
