SEvILLE, JUNE 18.—After the departure of
MajOsty and, the troops, this town was in a
state of anarchy. On the morning~ of the 16th,
Gen. Lopez Banos presented himself before the
Faubourg of Triana, with the remainder of the
troops which had been commanded by Abisbar,
and afterwards by Casteldorius. Instantly all the
inhabitants were in motion, and the fire com-
menced from the cannon at the head of the
bridge. The Constitutionalists experienced a
great loss; but, by a neglect of good order in
the town, General Banos succeeded in entering
Seville." The town was in the greatest conster-
nation. All the houses were shut. • The exact
number of killed tind wounded cannot as yet be

ascertained.
Jusc 17.—The troops of Lopez Banos cont
nue in this town, but are ready to depart. The
soldiers are roaming about the town pillaging.

" PORTUGAL," we have given extracts•• from
the Lisbon Gazettes to the. 2lst instant, con-
sisting of further details of the progress of
the counter.revolution, and the Royalist Portu-
guese account of the vexatious interruption given
to the proceedings of Sir Itoncwr WiLsoN and
his companions. Private Letters have also been
received in this country from Sir ROBERT and
his friends since their return from Portugal to
Spain. We subjoin the following extracts, which
possess considerable interest
Vico, .11114 E 15, 1023.
I wrote to you at Oporto, the day on which that town pro-
claimed the King absolifte, which agreed badly with the ac-
count I had before sent you of the dispositions the Portuguese
Ciovernmentintended making in favour of Spain, and the pro-
bability of placing some, if pot all their troops, under the com-
mand of Sir Robert Wilson. In order to chew you hew fur
I was justified in this opinion, I must add; that at Lugo Sir It.
received a letter from M-----, In Lisbon, saying 40,000 men
would be under arms, and ready to take the held by the Ist of
June, and expressing some hints to the above effect, and that
his presence in Lisbon would be of great service. The same
post brought me a letter also from a gentleman in some con-
sitlerable tioverninent employment, requesting nie to use my
influence in persuading Sir R. to go to Lisbon, that his arrival
would place him in that ost which he Sir It. could have no.idea
of.: On our arrival at Chaves, Sir It, was hailed by the Gove-
rnor as a comrade in arms, and as one who would soon be at the
command of his country's troop& On our arrival at Oporto,
we learnt the change which had so suddenly taken place in
Lisbon, and remaining there four or five days for farther con-
firmation of the pending tram-Wens, Sir It. found the policy
of the country so much changed, that he determined on return-
ing to Galicia, fir which purpose we started on Friday the thh,
lin the morning, and reached Braga that evening, while the
Absolute King was proclaimed in that town; we were detained
some time at the Camara (or Town Hall); the Commandant
at length told me, if we remained in the town that night, he
would not answer for our liven, but recommended our going to
a village a league off, and offered an escort of six soldiers. I
communicated this to Sir It.. who was waiting in the square;
he very justly SAW that the same danger which attended us in
Braga, with a garrison, might also follow us a league further
with only an escort of six men, and therefore deterinined on
remaining, particularly as it wax then quite light, and the
crowd so thick round us, that we could Hardly move. The
Commandant at length ordered she escort to see us to the inn;
as soon as we began to move, the feeling of the Mob ;hew-
ed itself, and instigated by three or four of those charitable
dispensers of Christianity, the Priests, several of them
drew their knives, and rushed• at us, with the design of ex-
ecuting the orders of these wretches ; but the escort of mi.

litia, and some more who had come of their own accord,
with their bayonets kept the furious mob from reaching our
persons. The cries of the Priests to' kill MI seemed to have
an extraordinary impulsive power over the rabble.' On reach-
ing ih_t Inn the crowd became very loud and troublesome,
still insisting on having our lives, and the Commandant could
only satisfy them by assuring them he meant to keep us pri-
soners until he got further orders. At eleven 'o'clock the town
became more quiet, and we were left with a strong guard. The
next day, Saturday the 7th, another regiment of militia marched
in at eight A. M.; the whole town seemed busy in taking up
Constitutionalists, and the crowd for this' reason was not great
before our windows. Oa the Bth all quiet, but still detained ;
thoughin the middle of the day we were informed that Gen.
Rego had sent an order for us to be released, and tel have an
escort to conduct us to the frontiers, but we were advised not
to start till midnight • accordingly at that hour, with a guard
of 50 men, we marched out of the town, and at Polite Pradd
(one league on the road towards Vienna) we parted from them,
taking with us a corporal and four men; on reaching another
league we met an officer who delivered a letter to Sir. R. from
advising him by no means to enter Vienna, for the
people there were as much bent on our destruction as at Braga;
and being informed that every other place through Which
we should have'to pass was exactly the same, we had no road
left but going hack to Oporto, there to embark for Spain; ac-
cordingly we repassed the river Caved°, about a league above
Ilarcellos, and reached Oporto between eleven and .twelve
at night, after a march of near 60 English miles, in one of the
hottest days I ever experienced; and walking a great part of
the way in order to ease the five soldiers who were with us
(who mounted our mules in turns). We had hardly been ten
minutes in our old lodgings when three officers from the Go-
vernor, attended by an escort of cavalry, came to fetch us to
the Government House,. and desired all our baggage to be
sent there also. On arriving Sir It. was taken into another
room, where he met with the most uncivil treatment from the
Government General Pamplona. I must here observe the in-
solenee and petty pride of the newly-established Aids-du-Camp,
Secretaries, &e. &c. about :it) in number, who strutted about
like so many dung-hill cocks. At three in the morning, after
all our fatigues, without being allowed time to rest or refresh,
we were marched off towards Spain again, and halted at Cazal
de
Pedro(4 leagues), where we rested Wile hours; at ten that night
we mounted our mules, and moved"on to Villa de Conde on the
sea-coast with the intention of embarking, and freeing ourselves
at once from the Portuguese soil; but our evil fortune attended
us here, fur a strong northerly wind set in suddenly, and put
an end to our design. At five A.3t., June 11, we took the road
for Vienna, and arrived within half a league of that town in
the evening; put up at a miserable house with the whole escort
of cavalry, the Governor of Vienna having sent us word that
he did not wish tutu pass through the town till midnight, the
people being still against us; at half-past twelve we again
started, and passed through the town quietly—reached Ca-
minho about seven in the morning, where we breakfasted, and
crossed the Minim about II A.M. for La Guardia, not a little
pleased at touching the Spanish soil again. Finally, we reached
Vigo on the evening of the 13th, where all our old friends ma-
ithe.sted the same joy as bethre on seeing us. I should be most
ungrateful ni not express y wannest sense of the kindness
of the Spanish people ; I have lived much amongst them, and
hatre always found their hospitality augment as the necessity
of the stranger requires It. The greatest abhorrence is expres.
sed at the conduct of the Portuguese; and, so far from being
changed. in their constitutional ideas, by the late revolt in the
neighbouring country, their firmness is beyond. praise, and
many of the young mets of the.most respectable families in this
town have now come to a resolution of remaining no longer. as
militia or volunteers, to wait the arrival of the enemy here, but
formed themselves into a guerilla corps, and will march directly
to the front. What mote can I say for the Spaniards ?
• Our old friend the Governor of Chaves, Igno. Peresto. 31a-
rine Pereira, has made his escape from the prison of that town,
and arrived here this morning. ' I am really glad of it, for he
is a most gallant fellow. Ile'had been nearly murdered by the
poulace at Chaves, several times before he reached the prison.
\Ve fonnd on our arrival here that the French party, who
had before united at lletanzis and lingo, had been here, and
already embarked for England; this may produce some had
effect on the people of England, and I make no doubt but that
their own storr, .accounting for their stiOen abandonment of
the cense will be told in a way to injure the real feelings of
die —Spanish people; but the truth should be known; .ever
since their first arrival in Spain there, existed much dissension
amongst themselves ; and it was also well known that they
did
flat menu to Meet' the common enemy, btit merely fight against
the factious, until the French were either driven out of Spain, ,
or they, by some lucky chance, could regain France, with the
power of creating a counter-revolution. In the mean time,
they .wished to be under the command of General Lallemand,
placed in their several ranks of Colonels, Majors, Captains,
&C., and receive pay of the Spanish Government accordingly.
This, it appears, hai not met with the approbation of the
Spaniskeenerals. Some disputes ar, anti finally they came

of them and have a great regard for them, but justice to the
opaniar4 demands ft of me. While they remained here, anti
until the foreign legion could be formekthey,receiv,sl the same

There is a report of the Spaniards having obutineti some im-
pnitant Success in Iliscay, where they have between four and
five thousand men, under some skilful officers.
Muffle is still at Villa Franca. The forces the enemy had
in Astorga a little time back have evacuated that town, and
they have collected a force of about ten thousand men in Leon,
which causes some anxiety in this province. There are now
five different Guerilla corps forming in Galicia.
General Lopez de Banos is said to have 10,000, but not more
than half old soldiers. General Ballasteros is reported to have
12,000 good troops, and is supposed to be moving from 'Va-
lencia in the directlon of Cuenca. Of Mina little is known in
this peovince; but the state of Catalonia is said to be favourable.
regard to the assistance England has so long led this
country to expect from her, if she does not mean to put it into-
execution, it had much better never been talked M', as for some
months they have been looking forward to it, and their plans,
in this part of Spain were certainly, much adopted accordingly.
Five thousand men would, united with the Magicians, Maintain
this strong province against any attack of the enemy ; and
While they are at Madrid, anti the line of march so Offended,
We could beat them in detail, liam.ss their convoys, impede
their .commonieutlons, and, In short, be the means of enabling
Spain to free herself without coming to any disgraceful terms
with her invaders. Spain left to herself will struggle, but can
never effect any great shock upon the enemy. It would be but
justice, if the people of England do not mean to assist, to
declare so at once.
VIGO, JUNE 15,11123.
It is hardly to be supposed that Sir R. could leave Portugal'
after such 'treatment, without expressing his mind in some
shape to that nation; he has, therefore, caused the following
Proclamation to be translated into Portuguese; and to be for-
,warded there :
[The Proclamation is inserted In the Lisbon extracts.]
Letters have been received here from Madrid, which state that
town to be tranquil, and that the French had received a severe
check at Almarez, and that a Guerilla corps of 5,000, under
Lochos, had been nearly destroyed by a Constitutional Guerilla
corps : also that the head-quarters of the Duke d'Angouleme
were to be removed to Valladolid.
Lopez de; paw's. is reported to take the command in Gali-
.cia, and General Zayas to succeed hint in his present command.
