lesternay mention 'report. It is even
that this General 011icer is to be succeeded by
Marshal Lauristou. We know not whether this
news be well founded. GeneralGuilleminot has
long been in disgrace with the Ministerial Jour-
nals. He is.suspectedto'have mainly contributed.'
to the Andnjar decree, which is understood to
have experienced high disapprobation at. Paris,
and the execution of which surpriseS and afflicts
all those men who have perceived in that import-
ant document a hope of approaching pacification:
The "Duke Angouleme's rhoice of Gene:-al
Guiilentinot for4*is Major-G eneral did not satisfy,
every one. Our readers must recollect certain
events which caused a great sensatiwi at the time
of the invasion of Spain, and which nre yet
explained :--such as the departure and precipi-
tate return of a Minister. We do not, however,
mean to found any conjecture as to the eo,isp-
quences of a fact, the confirmation of which is
first of all necessary.—( Pitote.)

The lust telegraphic dispatch given tithe
Moniteur is unquestionably of great importance ;
but it is necessary to know .the details of the
taking of the Trocadero, to enable us to, calcu7
late the results. These details,could not he coin.'
municated in a short telegraphic dispatCh. To
appreciate this deed of arms we must wait fur the
Major-General's report. It was on Friday the
Government received the news which appeared
in the Moniteur of Suuday.—(lbid).
Letters from Catalonia make particular men-
tion of a sortie of the garrison of Barcelona,
which is said to have taken place on the 23d of
August, and ,to have been particularly directed
against General 'Curial's corps. The enemy k.
stated to have had a strong reserve of artiliery,
which protected his retreat.—(//a).
If we may believe certain persons, understood
to be well informed, the meeting of the ,Charn-
bars will not be so long delayed as vas at first
.supposed. The Ministers, it is said, have to ask
for more money, for the possibility of a -second
campaign next year begins to be recogniied..,.-

(From the eonstitutionnel.l
GrzomA, Ava.'29.—lt is said here that Lioti-.
tenant-General Baron Damas, coMmanding the
9th military division, has given in his resignation.
We have nothing certain in this respect.
PERPIGNAN, SEPT. I.—(From our Private
Correspondence)—Milans has effected his; retreat
on Tarragona. He occupies Oliva, Lorito, and
L'ilermitage, positions a quarter of frOm
the town, presenting a line of tioo toises, brisling
with entrenchments.

We have just received confirmation of the

news that the Governor of the geu %Nil! in no,
sort acknowledge the Regency of Madrid. Titer
Marshal offered,it is saidohatt he ranks, honours,.
&c. of 'all the Officers and soldiers of 'the gar-.
rison should be retained, and that • a part
of the garrison should be left in the forts con-
jointly with the allied army, to hold them in the
name of Ferdinand 'VII. All was rejected.—
The Constitutionalists will not hear the ltezency
nor the men of the Faith spoken'i4. it is added,
i that the Officer sent to the Marshal assured him
that all the garrison of the Seu, officers and 'sci.l4
diem, had sworn to make a war of extermination
on the men 'of the Faith. This extraordinary
answer has disconcerted the plans of the 'Mar-
shal, who, it is said, in concert with .Baron Eroles,
is to issue a .Proclamation, the
addressed to
soldiers of the garrison of the Seu, to try *to re,.
move their prejudices. •

NUREMBERG, SEPT. 1.--(E:rtraet of a private Letter.)—
" The new instructions :given to the Censors of the Bavarian
journals are founded on the Decree of the German Diet of

1819. In substance they are, that no article is to be published
which may give occasion for Complain, on the part of foreign
powers, or which centains.the least criticism ou acts emanating
from.another State of the Confederation.
" The prohibitions selative to unions of the students in the
Universities of Orlangen, Landshut, and Wurtzburgh, have
been renewed; .and the extraordinary Commissioners residing
at these Universities have been enjoined to exercise, in this re-
spectthe greatest vigilance.
" Thestmeasures it is said, have been taken after a com-
munication received 'from the Ministers of Austria and Prus-
sia, and after a report made by M. Preffel, Bavarian Mini-
ster to the Diet, on the discussions of that assembly, in their
secret meetings, relative to the execution of the decrees of
1819. _

" On the Ist SepteMber an Ordonnance is to be put in exe-
cution in the Duchy of Altemburg, which has been published
by the Duke of Saxe Gotha, on the proposal of the States, the
object of which Is to shorten law suits of every thing which
renders them complicated, to diminish their cost, and to pre-'
vent arbitrary proceedings, and negligence on the part of the
Advocates."
BE arm SE PT. 2.—Notes of the friendly import were simul-
taneously presented to the Federal Diet, on the 20th and 21st
ult. on the part of the Ministers and Charges des Affairs of
Austria, Russia, France, !Prussia, and Sardinia, concerning the
refugees of various . countries, who .are permitted to find en
asylum in Switzerland. This occupied the attention of the Mi-
nisters of the Allied Powers at Paris, on July ,31st, arid before
on April 21st. The demand for their expulsion is repeat.
ed ; and as the Sovereigns who make this demand will not per-
mit them to reside in their dominions, nor in Spain or Porte-
gal, passports must be given them for the United States of
America, by the way either of Bremen or Hamburgh. The
Federal Directory communicates to the Goveniments of the se-
parate Cantons a list of more than 200 names, requiring infor-
mation respecting them: It is probable that only a very few of the
individuals mentioned arc yet in the country. The ordonnance of
the Diet also prescribes the czurseof proceeding to be adopted by
the Cantonal Governments. The French Minister demands,
Moreover, by a Note, -dated August 13, that Switzerland shall
consent to the arrest and carrying off refractory conscripts, who
may take refuge in the country. A similar demand before
made by A ultria was not granted. The Directory requires the
opinion of the Cantons as to the answer to be returned.

ST. PET ERBll[lllOll, Auo: Majesty the Emperor
sets out on the 27th, on his journey to view the army. He will
atop from the 31st of August to the 2d of September at Jaros-
law, from the 4th to the lith at Mom:ay, and from the 14th to
the-17th at Orel; where the assembled troops will be reviewed
from the 27th to the 30th, at Brest-Lithowsky, when his Ma-
jesty will review the Polish army of above 100,000 men, from
the 6th to the 7th October at Cholla), and from the 9tl) to the
16th at Tulezin. His Majesty will then visit some districts of
the Crimea, and be back at Sarskojeselo on the 13th November.
Mr. Boren,' our Consul at Lisbon, is appointed Charge d'Af
fairs at the Court of Portugal. The trade of Navre has been
very considesablithis year, by the junction of the Nauva and
the Lugo; the trade between that city and the capital has been
very active.
ButisszLs, Sr.vT. 6.—His Majesty the King has now given
orders that the eflieers of the Customs and Excise, when on
duty, shall be armed, that they may make use of their weapons
in case of need. This order has been caused by various un-
pleasant occurrences, in which the officers have been very ill
treated.

GInItALTAII, A;UG.2I.---The French squadron
(three frigates) lying at Algesiras were joined
last night by a schooner of war from the west-
Ward. This morning the schooner sailed to cruise
in the Straits, and one of the frigates is now
under weigh, stretching to the westward, and a
brig of war continues to cruise from the inty to
the Straits.

TO THE RICHT IiON. GEORGE CANWINGi'&:C. &C. &C.

London, July 21, 1823.

Sir--We most-respectfully beg.to draw your attention' to the
vreseni state 'of the British tr:,.de with the'severat new states in
the Spanish part of South America, which is subject to great
difficulties and- discouragement for want of official accredited
agents, to hoist the merchants and masters of ships can apply
fix advice or assistance, in the various cases of clocal grievance
or necessity w'hich are constantly occurring., •
We bcg leave to represent to you, Sir, that the British esta-
blishments in the several parts of those countries have increased
in number to upwards of SO, and that the British capital_ at
this time distributed through the several -states amounts to se-
veral millions sterling. - •

.
We are'unitiformed what progress the Spanish Government
may
.have made in the establishment of a system of intercourse
relative to South America, adapted' .to'the new 'order of things
in that country„conformable to the iletition exprestu!d in the
decree of Lite Cortes of the 7th January lasf; but deemingit
probable .that the troubles in Spain, tl&.y have not pre-
vented the Government from tal:ing the sultieet into considera-
tion, have made-it impossible.; to .:give toinplet‘., elft..ot,to
intentions, vv.:, in that case, humbly.but most earnestly submi!.
for your consideration, whether, -Limier the cirthmstaticei, you
may not see tit to, recommend toliis Majesty that,. comm.-Ft:jai
agents should be. forthwith appointed to 'tool after British in-
terests in,that quarter of 4iteworld, so that our. trade may, in

not, revolted, and at Sciu, which has renounced the party of the
revolted.
The condutt of Odysseus is strange and inexplicable; at
present he expresses IliS displeasure,. and pours out impreca-
tions against the Government of Greece. lie has publicly de-
clared even to European agents, that he offered the lforks to
join them if they would pay his corps of 2,500 men, and allow
them a certain ,stitn,-by way of present. He then engaged to
march with his people, at the head .of Abe Turks, when they
would invade the Mores. It is after having made such decla-
rations that Odysseus has commenced his march—but can he
be trusted ?
It is certain-, however, that the Greeks in the Alorea have
been ready to massacre each other ; some Generals have dis-
obliged the Government ; each Chief thinks himself independ-
ent, and there is not in all the Morea a single man capable of
directing the affairs of the State. Napoli di Roulade ought
to have 7 or 8,000 men- to defend it, and there are only three
hundred Greeks in the fort of Palamedes, and I; or 700 in
the town.
A Greek has lately been arrested em the coast of Scala Nova,
by some. Turks who, seeing a large tire kindled on the coast,
justly suspected him. He has been brought before the Paella,
and confessed that he was in league with the Samians, and
with two other Greeks, servante to Turks, who are owners of
flocks ; that he had come beck from saints with instructions
to light a great fire, to paint out', to the Samians where the::
should land, to ecize the flocks which they should find ready
at the spot. These two Greek's have been arrested. The first
has been sentenced to death--the fate of the two others is not
decided. • ,
By our latest accounts from Rhodes, of the 2d of' July, the
Egyptian fleet lied left that Wand, which enjoyed .perfect tran-
quillity. It had been interrupted lot a Moment at a point

farms had been plundered, and twoor three men killed.
We learn from Santorini, that the Greeks have laid that
island under contributions, and compelled the inhabitants to
pay them 60,000 piastres, informing them that they would re-
turn and melte further demands at- Syne ; they have levied a
contribution of 40,000 piastres in money, and tour or five thou-
sand in provieiene. The -situation-Of that island,. which is
threatened both by the Hy driots and the Ips.ariots, is so de.
plorable, that numbers of person' leave it, - and conic. to Smyr-
na ; among them is Al. Fenced, the French Consul, who, when
obliged to quit Athens, took refuge in Syra, and is now forced
to seek an asylum on the coast of Asia Minor.

COVENT .GARDEN TIIEATAE.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE =SUN.

SlR—Regretting as I do, with many admirers
of the Drama, the unpleasant misunderstanding
wrhiCh subsiits between the present Lessees and
Mr. JAMES BRANDON, the old servant of Messrs.
!hams, the former Proprieters of the Theatre
Royal, Govent-garden, I beg, as a sincere friend
to all parties, to propose a plan Avhich I think
would, without compromising the honour ofl
either, amicably adjust the present unfortunate '
dispute. .
The proposition I have to submit to the good
sense andliberality of the parties is simply this:—
" That the leisees- Shall in consideration of the
age and past services of the IN-Box Book and
house Keeper, agree..to.givelim a Free Benefit
on some night between the 16th and ettl of June
in each year during the remainder of their term,
provided .Mr. BRANDON .should live so long ;"
and 64 That Mr. BRANDON shall immediately re-
sign to Mr: RoutiwrsoN, or any other Gentle-
man, Messrs. KIMBLE, FORBES, and WILLETT,
appoint to succeed him, the house he now holds.
end all books and papers relative to his late offices."
This plan, if adopted, would, I think; prove satis-
factory to every one, as it would leave Mr.BRAN-
DON'i remuneration for ,past services to the gene-
rosity of that "Public, to whom •no one appeals
in vain, and to .vhOse accommodation and con-
veoience it is acknowledged he has for a
long series of years been attentive, and relieved
the present • Managers from the opprobrium of
discharging in an ungracious and severe manner,
an OLD MAN with a large family after fifty-five
years servitude, and unfortunately without a corn-
oetency to support his declining years with care
and comfort.

'Hoping this hasty hint may prove the-basis of
a negociation Tor reconciling the parties,

remain, Sir, your obedient.
Temple, Sept. 19, 1323. DRA MATIOUS.

*** At an earlier stage of the dispute between
the Covent-garden Lessees t and Mr. BR. N,noN.
we suggested, as a compromise, that .the office of
Box-book, flouse-keeper, &c. should be given to
Mr. BRANDON's son, a very intelligent, well-
educated, and respectable young man, who has
occasionally acted as Deputy to his father, and
who is,well acquainted with the duties of the
office. Such an allotment would not interrfelre
with any plan that might be adopted for afford.
ing public liberality to the father.--Fu.
