BAYONNE PAPERS.

BAYolotE, AuG. 2.—We have letters from Madrid of the
29th of July. By the gews from Cadiz it seems that the Royal
Family enjoy very good health, and do not entertain much ap-
prehension for the consequences of the blockade, or the siege,
if it should he regularly formed. The Regency continues to
receive addresses; which always dwell on the old text•of the de-
litktranco of the King, the reestablishment of religion in all its
ancient splendor, and the punishment or all those who have
had any share in the Revolution, and the establishment of the
Constitutional system The Minister of War has communi,
crated the intelligence of the taking of Morella by the
troops Of the Royalist Chief, Chambo ; that town is sur-
rounded only by an old wall, and is of little importance.
An English flag of mic entered Cadiz on the 21t, but it is not
known what is the objece t or its mission. They Regency has

.following Correspondence between Sir
ROBERT Wir,solv and General Mouttzo, though
it resulted in nothing, and, in consequence of the
unauthorized character of Sir ItODERT WILSON,
cou►d only result in nothing, will be read with
interest. It is, however, chiefly important, from
the fact stated by Sir Itoarnr Wti.soN, on the
30th of July, that all persons in Galicia,
of power and influence,. " wished at; honour-
able peace ;" and " that according to the last ad-
vices from Cadiz, the (Spanish) Government have
the same wishes, AS TOR THIS PURPOSE TUFTY HAVE

ALREADY' PLACED THEMSELVES IN COMMUNICA-
TION WITH THE BRITISH MINISTER !" This, then,
finally explains the object of the Duke d'ANoou'-
z.tatE's advance to Seville, and proves that
that object is NEGOCIATION.—This interesting
disclosure, also, confirins all that we have been
saying in the course of the' last week relative to
an approaching negociation, and proves that the
conclusion which we had formed, partly from good
information, and partly from conjecture, built upon
presump.tive circumstances, of au application hay-
ing been made foi. the mediation of England, was
well founded.—We exclusively announced these
important proc‘dings to our Readers ; and
• ,
though we were 'finable to give positive assurances
upon the subject, we felt that degree of confi-
dencein the accuracy of out Intolligence which
amounts almost to certainty, and laid it before our
Readers, under the conviction, as we stated,
that it would be confirmed,by subsequent events.
Whether the request for its Mediation has been
acceded to by our Cabinet, is another affair, on
which we cannot yet speak with any certainty.
It has been said that- the overture was re.
jected, because our :Government is unwilling
to assist In extricating France from the con-
sequences of her unjust. aggression upon the
Peninsula ; but this statement of course bears
the evidence of absurdity and falsehood upon
its very face: All that we can say at present is,
that it is firmly believed in a yerir high circle
that at the Cabinet Council. on Friday the
offer of mediation was accepted,_ We are
enabled to •state as certain,. that Prince

POLIONAC (the I'rench Ambassador), lime- I
diately on his return from Windsor, where
he had been to wait upon his MAJcsTy with
Mr. Secretary CAN'AING, ordered the Vis,
count MARCELLUS to hold himself in read',

tress to depart- for Paris ; and that the Vis-
count actually set off for thut Capital last
nicrht! We trust that he is the bearer
of the acceptance, on the part of this coun-
try, of , the god-like character of, Pacifica-
! It IS generally believed that the Duke
d'ANiwtmEmE, before he left Madrid, was dis-
gusted with the Regency; and it is confidently
hoped that Spain will come out of the struggle,
not only with honour, but with a large portion of
Constitutional Freedom.

TO COUNT DE CARTIIAGENA.
I have the honour to inform your Excellency that thave
this day arrived from Corunna, wounded in the battle of the

It has been subject of great regret to me that a tuisinuler,
standing, as to my intentions, has in some measure delayed
the honour df the conference' your excellency granted me. My
object is different from the one you have imagined from the
letter of General Roma)! to General Palarea t under which
pression, in order to treat of matters of the greatest utility to
the nation, I will leave this place this afternoon if the weather
allows, or, if not, to-morrow morning I will embark for
Puente do Sampayo, whot I hope to find every thing necessary
to convey me to Puentevcdra, where I hope to ;arrive in the
course of the day.
P. S. My sentiments with regard- to the persons called Tact.
Hour, under existing circumstances, have been evinced by my
having proposed and obtained the amnesty granted in Corunna
to all of this class, &e.
