SPAIN.

MADRID, SEPT. 16.—The usual courier from
Spain-has only •brougiot news up to the 16th, but
we have given .news of the 18th, arrived by an
extraordinary courier.
- -

The negotiations relative to the alliance with Portugal draw
to a close. A Portuguese of rank left Madrid for Lisbon, on:
the 13th, as a courier. Ile was the bearer of an ultimatum,
drawn up with that good faith which befits free Govern-
ments. It is added, that the reciprocal interests of the two
nations have been treated with much wisdom, and that the de-
cision of the Portuguese Ministry will be known at Madrid in
ten days. A strong division of Portuguese troops will then
repair to the frontiers of Spain without delay, to wait tillthe
Cortes of the two nations have sanctioned, according to the
Constitution, the treaty of alliance that it is expected will be
signed by both the Cabinets without difficulty. •
The King has nominated General D. Fernando Butron, Po-
litical Chief of Barcelona.

. _
The pretended Regency of Urgel had the impudence to send
a packet of its Proclamations to the popular authorities of Bar-
celona. By a solemn decision on.the sth of this month, it was
ordered, that the Proclamations should be publicly burnt in
the great square, by the hand of the executioner, in presence of
the civil and military authorities and the population of the
town. This measure was executed ; enthusiasm was at its ,
height. The public was in such a state of effervescence, and
so indignant against those who, both abroad and at home, en-
courage civil war in Spain, that it was immediately demanded
that those should he punished by whose means it was supposed
that these Proclamations had arrived. The authorities were
forced to cede to the public wish, and to arrest sixty. persons,
among whom-was the Commander of the citadel of Barcelona;
and the superiors of all the convents accused of maintaining a
correspondence with the factious. This severe measure was
executed with the greatest calmness on the 4ilghts of the sth
and 6th, and the persons arrested were immediately embarked
for the island of Majorca. The day after, however, so►ne of
the persons arrested, against whom there was not sufficient
matter for accusation, were disembarked. The friends of the
laws heard of these things with pain ; at the same time they
could not but see with satisfaction, that the effervescence of a.
population justly alarmed had not shed a drop of blood, nor
given occasion to any one disorder.
According to orders- from the Government, .a Funeral Ser-
vice was yesterday celebrated with great pomp in the Church of
St. Isidore, in honour of -the National Guards Wed on the
glorious 7th of July. The Garrison and the Volunteer Militia
took part in the ceremony. The Ministers, the Council of

State, and all the Authorities, civil and military, as well as the
Diplomatic Agents "' of Portugal and the United States, with
the persons attached to their legation, assisted at the ceremony.
The widow Landaburu, placed in the middle of a procession

. _
composed of the mothers, sisters, and wives of the militia killed
on the 7th, and of the militia who had been wounded, All
dressed in deep mourning; marched by the side of General Pa-
larca, and exhibited a spectacle which made A number of,
the spectators of this patriotic and religious,scene shed a multi-
tude of tears.

The Bishop D'Castrillo performed the sere ice. The King's
musicians executed the music. After the service D. A. Navas

pronounced a very patriotic and eloquent funeral oration. The
procession _then went to the square of the ,Constitution, where
the oath to defend the. Constitution was taken anew. All the

balconies of this large and beautiful square ,were ornamented

with ladies, who mingled their applause with the acclamations

of patriotism. Liberty is not a matter of passion here, it is

also an affair of good taste-

News from the frontier of -partial engagements with bands of
factious, sometimes conquerors, but more frequently conquered,
constantly arrives. Nina, it .is hoped, will rid the.country of
all these bands in a very short time.

At Madrid, tle inquiries into the plot otthe 7th are still car-
ried on ; M. Parides is at present charged with this business.
Count De Terri Alti is actually on the list of the accused, and
has been interrogated-4 Consailitionnel. _

A general subject of conversation is an interview which the
Alinisters,.San Miguel and Gasco, have had with his Majesty
relatively to the new Junta of Government at Urgel, which
issues its decrees in the King's name, endeavouring to persuade
the people that it acts by his Majesty's permission, which has
excited great discontent in this capital. The two Ministers
have represented to his Majesty how much this new Junta
threiT doubts on the constitutional sentiments which the King

las 57 often expressed, and sheared the necessity of contradic

Ing tie falsehoods and .stratagems by which the revolutionary
Govcrunient of Catalonia seekS to mislead the people. The
King, it seems, has .yielded.to their representations, and signed
'an address to the nation reiterating his solemn professions of
attacl.ment to the Constitution.

General Palarca, Political Chief of Madrid, has published
an Ordinance-of the Police, which enforces some old regula-
tions for the preservation of public tranquillity ; they relate
chiefly t9-strangers, some of whom, says the Ordinance, may
be considered .as abusing the hospitality generously afrorded
them. 'They must all give a satisfactory account of their busi-
ness in the capital, and those who are suspected must give
sufficientseeurity to the Alcalde of the quarter, unless they
prefer leering the kingdom.
The local authorities of the environs of Madrid -not having
acquainted the Political Chief with the passage of a band of,
seven of the factions, he has announced that the members of-
the municipalities shall be individually bound to give him due
notice in future, when any factious pass through or stop in
their district, on pain of being fined.
' The Government has just given pressing orders to send a
prompt supply of corn to the fortresses -in Catalonia. The
corn is to-be embarked at Bilboa, Almeira, end Alicant.
The accounts from the provinces are not interesting, but:
state that generally all the regiments of militia are in motion
some for Catalonia, others to the parts . left by the regular
troops, who have been sent likewise to Catalonia.
It is said that many troops have:arrived at Sarragossa, and
that on- the 20th-there were to be 15;000 at Lerida. Tortosa
appears to have been in great straits at the end of last month,
-but a letter of Ist September, in the Spectator, .mentions that
its situation was improved, but farther reinforcements were
impatiently expected.—(Madrid Papers.)
[PRIYATE CORRESPONWENCE.]

A detachment of the battalion of the late guards, -which was
ordered to Lcganes "in consequence of the events of July,
marched through Arragon last week, to join the regiment Into.
which it was to beincorporated. Some 'factious presented them-
selves, and attempted to stop the way, when the Commander
exclaimed,—" Soldiers, now is the time to wipe off the stain
on our characters, and to let our countrymen, see that we are
worthy of their esteem." The soldiers immediately fell upon
the factious,-and cut them to pieces...-(Journal de Paris.)
SEPT. 19.—They write from Pampeluna that the Political
Chief has taken the most energetic measures to prevent the
Communes from receiving and favouring the insurgents. Large
sums are levied on the disobedient, and the Alcaldes are per-
sonally responsible. The publication containing these regula-
tions has been, everywhere published, and almost every where it
has been publicly torn down by the inhabitants.
In Biscay the insurgents still remain masters of the field, and
receive reinforcements every day.
It is said that several companies are to be formed, and com-
manded by half-pay officers. The toot receive 25 sous per day,
and their food, the cavalry 30 sous and rations.. These are but
sad resources for a regenerative Government.
Letters.from Tortosa, one of which is written by a superior
officer, give a detail of the critical position of that place ;
blockaded and besieged by the insurgents, who had already
taken the outworks, the-garrison was reduced. to 500 men, al-
most all of them at the last extremity. A number of arrests
hare been made, fearing that individuals, -who enjoy a great in-
fluence over the people, might make use of it to procure the
opening of the gates. The Alcalde, and several Canons, have
left the town to join the insurgents.
The most severe orders are given-at the gates of Madrid as to
the egress -and ingress of strangers. Of fifteen gates, only
seven are open, and they mu shut at half-past seven o'clock.
The Alcalde of Villaviciosa., two leagues from Madrid, has been
arrested and conducted here, for not giving notice of the arrival
and continuance of the factious, commanded by the Canon of
Toledo, Atauasio Garcia, in his village. To-night it is said
this latter has reached the bridge of Segovia, hardly beyond the
walls-of the city. •
The Government has received by a courier accounts of the
operations of the troops in the sth and 6th district. Colonel
Tabuenca announces that all the insurgents of Navarre have
passed at Pout de Montagnana, going towards Trempe. Que-
sada, on leaving. Navarre, had 3;000 men, and . Bessieres re-
mains there with four companies. At the moment of the cou-
rier's departure, a firing was heard on the side of Naval.
The King has decreed that all the Ex-Pages and persons
employed in the Royal Palaces should.., receive a year's sa-
lary,, and anothei year half their salary, to give every one
time to provide for his subsistence. After that period no one
of these individuals have any claim either on the King or the
Government.
The Manifesto of the King is the work of MM. Navarro,
GaSco, and St. Michel.
The territorial tribunal of Vallad ol id has definitively pro-
nounced sentence against the persons accused of the conspiracy
at Burgos to carry off the King, arid of whom almost all belong
to his Majesty's household. The pain of death pronounced by
the Tribunal of First Instance on Don Domingo Basso y Moro,
Manuel de Ros, Francois Barrio, Denis Carro, Isidore Astorga,
George Erespo, and Ferdinand Cuguizaves, is commuted into 10
years imprisonment in the galleys; the laymen are to work, the
ecclesiastics are to be sent to the hospital of the galleys.—MM.
Arlega and Ordagnez are exiled for eight years to the Balearic

* The English Ambasiador, Sir W. A'Cotirt, had not ar-
rived at Madrid.

Islands.• General t chavarri is exiled for two years twenty
leagues from Madrid. MM. Ramirez and Ferdinand Tryso
have re-entered into possession of all their rights and honours.
Our Jacobins Are discontented with this sentence, and do not
conceal the desire they have to see a secretary and chaplain to
the King follow the unf•artunate Goiffeux to the scaffold.
The courier of Andalusia has been intercepted by Zaidivar
in the.environs of Utrera, so that we have no news from those
Provinces. It is known, lowever; that the militia of Cadiz have
demanded to be led against Zaldivar;anethett a price is put on

his head.
They write from Gibraltar,-Se -s—" The Bishop of Ma- ,
laga is arrived here, accompanied by two other ecclesiastics. Ile
requested the authority of the Governor to reside here, whiCh
has been grantedhiru for one month only."
From Corogna they write, 6th Sept.—" The illustrious Qui-
roga, appointed.Commander-iib•Chref of the Tenth District, ar- •
rived. here yesterday, without having been able to accomplish his
vow not to continue his journey till he had exterminated the
rojo de Valderas."
The Duke d'lnfantado, in coming here, was met by a strong
detachment of the militia of Ponteradra, who sung the Tra-
gola, and accompanied it nearly half an hour with hooting ard
hissing.
We learn from Saragoza, of Sept. 11, that the official reports
of the columns of operation of the sth and 6th district announce
that Quesada, the Trappist, Juanito, are at Huesca and
Barbastro, and have passed the Cuica below Grado, marching
towards Castro and Graus.
The insurgent corps which entered Belchate, remains in its
neighbourhood, and Capape, with 600 men, occupies the moun-
tains of Alcaguin. ,
• Zaldivar has made the environs of Cadiz again tremble, and
took the courier in the post du Tresa.
,People went in pursuit
of him, but he is skilful and so well served, that he will escape
all attacks. Colonel Tabuenca gives some insufficient details
of the affair of Bolea. But what is of some importance, is, that
to save a miserable convoy which they were sending to Ve-
nasque, lie himself was obliged to escort it with „all his forces,
which were hardly sufficient to conduct it clear ofthe pursuits
of Bessieres, who has, however, failed in taking it.
'We are informed from Gerona,
.that on the 2d there was a
very Serious affair between the Chiefs Mararito and Brucho,"
and the Brigadier Llovera • that the latter was obliged to de-
mand succours from the place, which sent him 200 men and
one piece of cannon. The result is not known, but the combat
was obstinate.
.A company of Italian refugees,. charged with protecting the
courier, had advanced as far as Casa de 6elva, when it met a de-
tachment of Royalists; forced to fignt, they took refuge in a
church, andbarricadoed themselves. It was intended to,blockade
them and force them to surrender, which might have been done
by an immediate attack ; but the respect which the defenders
of :religion have for a holy place prevented them ; they retired,
and allowed the Italians to leave the place. The latter lost
some men and had several wounded. The Political Chief of
the province, Don Pcrol, came :very bravely to their succour
after the danger was over.
A patriot, M. Py, intends to imitate the royalists in forming
in the Empourdan, a corps of partisans. lie has collected some
friends and some domestics, but they do not make a troop.—
Col. Pachiaroty, a Piedmontese, to pay in revolutionary money,
his blood, the hospitality which .the liberaux have shewn him,
has put himself at the head of 200 awn, of .whoui 50 .are
his countrymen, and he left Aliens to go and attack Torvera,
which was very tranquil, and without fortifications.' The great
prowess of the Colonel has consisted-in ill-treating .the inha-
bitants, pillaging them, and satins every thing on. fire ; but
this ought not to astonish ,us,—it is thus that liberalists make

war.
P.S.—Reports are circulated of the capture of Cardona and
Tortosa by the Royalists, which, if confirmed, would be a mor-
tal blow to the Constitutionalists, because mistress of Tortosa,
.theßoyalists will command ,the mouth of the .Ebro, and put a
stop to , tbe :important navigation of this river, by means of
which:corn and other provisions are expected to be introduced
into Catalonia.
Greatoollections.ofoorn are made in GaUicia, and of rice in
the kingdom of Valencia, to be sent into Catalonia, where the
.troops aiready.find it difficult to subsist.—(Journal des Debuts.)
BAYoN.:4 5, SEX T 24.-I.The mail from .I.lladricl with the
letters of the 16th is arrived.; that of the 19th, which in regular
course ought to come to-day, has not yet reached us, but we
shall probably have it the day after to-morrow.. .
We have letters from Whoa of the 20th, which state that the
factious have disappeared from that province ; they mention
'also the arrival in that port on the same day of two battalions
of the line of 500 men each, which had been embarked at Co-
.runna. The militia of Bilboa to the number of 300. men, made
a sally on the 18th, in two columns, one going towards Duran-
go, the other towards Balmareda, with the intention of scour-
ing the province, but they did not meet with any enemy to
combat.
A report of the Political Chief of Vittoria, dated the 21st,
announces the total defeat of the partisan Quebilla at Anda-
goya on the 19th, three leagues from Vittoria, at the foot of the
mountains of Pena Serrada. -Quebilla had passed the .Ebro
with 80 horse, and intended, it is .said, to penetrate into Na-
varre
.; but he was debated by a detachment of llaylcn, from
Vittoria, which killed 40 of his mcn, and took 50 horses. This
report even states that Quebilla had been severely wounded in
the thigh by a musket ball.
We see fugitives from the Army of the Faith daily arrive
here, in the most pitiable condition. The second in command
pf the band of Zahala, named Barrutia, is also ut• the .Laza-
retto. '
The Gazette of St. Sebastian continues to print reports of
'various actions with the bands of Guczala, Zabala, and Uranga,
which are completely broken up and deserting their chiefs.
Espinosa is now able to bombard Irati, which he has in-
vested. Numerous bands of soldiers, of the division of Qire-
sada, which have abandoned him in Catalonia, have returned
to their homes. The interior of Navarre is still in a state of
anarchy, infested by bands of real banditti, without any im-
proveinent in the public spirit of the inhabitants. The emi-
gration continues, especially of Priests and Monks.
Sir Wm. A'Court was expected at Vittoria on the 23d in the
evening.
