Thel.e will b a grand, review in Hyde Park
on Friday next," by his Royal Highness the Duke of Yong, of
four battalions of the• Foot Guards, consisting of the 3d bona
Rom of the grenadiers, urider the command of Colonel Jones;
the let and 2d battalion of the Coldstream, the farmer under
the command of Colonel llouverie, the latter under that of Co-
lonel :Mcdonnell; and the let battalion of the 3d regiment,
under the command of Cohinel Clitheroe. A similar instance
of so many battalions of this corps being reviewed at the same
time has not occurred in the memory of the oldest soldier in
the three regiments ; and, from the excellent state of discip-
line in which the whole are, it will no doubt prove a grand and
imposing spectacle. Colonel Woodford, of the Coldstream, as
the senior held officer of the brigade, will take the command of
the field.

The Corporation of Drogheda have voted the, freedom of the
burgh to, 311\jor-General Sir Henry Torrens, K.C.B. and
K.T.S. for his distinguished military services and official
urbane kindness.
The freedom of Cork has been unanimously voted to 11 r.
Serjeant Torrens; Lieut.-Colonel French, Carbineers ; Sir
Hugh Gough, 2`24 Foot; Lieut.-Colonel Mitchell and Major
Logan, Rifle Brigade.

From the brief extracts which we were yes•
terday enabled to give from the Paris Papers
Papers brought by our Express, our Readers
would perceive with pleasure that MINA bud
succeeded in reaching Barcelona ; and although
the French, as usual, endeavour to make it be
believed that he was accompanied only by a very
small number of men, their former statements re-
specting this distinguished Chieftain have been so
notoriously false, that no reliance whatever con

now be placed on their representations. But it
appears that nothing has been heard for fifteen
days of the division of General DONNIDIL, ex-
cept a rumour that it had been engaged with
MISA ! We stated -some days ago ,that the
Spanish Legation in London hail received Re=
counts which affirmed that MINA had defeated a
corps of the French ; and the silence of the
hench Authorities respecting the force under tia
command of DoNNAnice, and the rumour, on the
other haw!, of a 'ada, in which it is said to have
been engaged, induce us to hope that the
intelligence received by the Spanish Le-
gation w..s well-founded, and that a blow
of some of importance has been struck by
the Constitutionalists in Catalonia. MINA:i
movement to Barcelona having united the va-
rious Catalonian corps, the development of the
future intentions of the enterprising Spanish
leader will be anxiously expected ;.and we shall
not be surprised if he is shortly seen conducting
offensive operations on a large scale. The gar-
rison of Lerida made a formidable sortie on the
17th, with I.Boo.men and two pieces of cannon;
but the French modestly suppress all the parti-
culars of the affair which ensued, and only en-
flounce that the column was obliged to-retire,

with the lost of Its artilleti. The guerillas,
even in the vicinity of Madrid, are beginning to
give disquietude to the French, and have had the
boldness to attack a regiment of chasseurs in the
immediate neighbourhood of the capital. The
Bulletin of Major General GUILLEMINOT, of the
270 i tilt., at length admits that the troops of
LOPEZ BANos (whose army bad been totally de-
stroyed) embarked with their General! The
French, nufortunately, " could not come up with
the zavalry" of the Constitutionalists ; and " the
infantry, though pursued, were a good deal in
advance, and succeeded in embarking at Iluebla!"
LOPEZ BANOS, therefore, even admitting that the
French took 350 prisoners from his rear guard,
and eleven pieces of his artillery, has carried
off the main body of his army, still consisting,
according to the French themselves, of upwards
of-three thousand men, and has doubtless landed
them on the Isle of Leon, where we may expect
speedily to hear of their junction with the dis.
parsed corps of VILLA CAMPA !
There are also further accounts from Cadiz to

the 24th. The Cadiz Papers confirm the state-

•
ment of a plot having been discovered for carry.
t . •
ing off the 'Km} from Seville, in which our
countryrnan,,Sir Jour; DOWNIE, is said to have
been implicated. Wo have given some extracts
from the Cadiz intelligence iu our preceding co-
lumns; The Constitucional contains the following
remarks on the melancholy death of the late War
Minister :
" General Sanchez Salvador, who had charge, ad hiterlin
of the War Department, has finished his days in imitation of
Londonderry. The real. motive of this suicide is still an
enigma. The political life of this Officer, during the period of
three years subsequent to the Restoration, is too well known to
require any elucidation from us. The occurrences in Seville,
the unexpected invasion of Andalusia, and a variety of dram-
stances, weighed heaVy on the mind of the War Minister, and
in this state it would seem as if he had sought to tell us, by his
death, that he did not wish to implicate those who possibly had
implicated, him, and who are still living under 'disguise among
la. The following is the letter lie is said'to have left behind
him, 'written with 146 own hand :
" r Life every, day becomes more insupportable to me,' and
the conviction of this truth impels me to take the horrid reso-
lution of. terminating my existence with my own hand. The
only consolation I can leave to my estimable wife, to my be-
lovedchildren, and friends, respecting this terrible determin-
ation, is; that I descend to the grave without my conscience
reproaching me for ever having committed any crime or offence
whatever.—ln the night from the lith to 18th June, 1823.
" It is my intention to do the deed with a razor, which I
hereby declare, in order that no one may be charged with the
crime. (Signed) •" ESTANISLAO SALVADOR."'
The same paper, of the itth, also contains the
•
following important paragraph
" The Government yesterday received official advices of
General LOPEZ Basios having entered Seville with 3,000 men,
after defeating the French at the Bridge of Triana, and taking
their artillery. To-morrow we will insert-entire the dispatch
of the General Staff, regretting that we are unable to do it to-
day, on account of the confined limits of our paper."
The private letters from Cadiz affirm that the
fortifications are in the best state of defence ;
and that Wiz was so full of troops that the Go-
vernment had sent out numerous detachments.

I Extract of a Letter from the Agent to Lloyd's, at atrbadoes,
dated 2d June:l
- - - -

"On the 20th ult., the Jean Bart, French 14 gun ship,. Ad-
miral MESN43II3, with the Vestal and Jean D'Arc, of 60 guns
sud a corvette, also the Spanish corvette ship, detained by the
Jean Bart, and 20 merchantmen, sailed from Martinique to
take the" trade at Guadeloupe to France. The Jean D'Arc
would go to the northward of Bermuda. Admiral Alesnard,
in the Jean Bart, was destined for Porto Rico, with a commu-
nication for the Governor of that Island from the Governor 'of
Martinique.-7 The Spanish corvette was under Spanish colours.'

PROROGATION OP PARLIAMENT.—It. IS now
calculated that the business of Parliament will
occupy about another fortnight ; that the Proro-
gation may take place on Friday the 10th, or
Tuesday the c2t2d instant. His MAJESTY intends
to prorogue the Parliament in person, should his
health permit, which at present there is every
reason to expect it will ; and in order to be pre,
pared for the event, the horses belonging to the
State coach have already been put into the cus-
tomary exercise. They have several times been
exercised early in the morning in New Palace-
yard, in a break ; particularly in drawing
through the new Royal Entrance, fronting the
House of Lords. His Majesty has not been to
the Parliament since the completion of those al-
terations and improvements connected with the
entrances ; and, as it will require good manage-
went to drive the carriage under the new Royal
F.ntrance, his Majesty and attendants alighting
there, the horses are therefore occasionally exer-
cised to accomplish the requisite adroitness.
Tickets for the House of Lords, and for the
leading to the Royal' Robing Room,
through which his Majesty, attended by his
Officer: of State, will have to pass, are to be
issued as usual by the Lord Great Chamberlain
(Lord Gwydyr), through his Secretary, Dorset
Vellowes, Esq., who occupies apartments in the
Old House of Lords.

On Thursday his MAJESTIC Will give a grand
state dinner to a numerous party of distinction,
at Carlton House.
Wmnson7 JULY 7.--testerday, immediately
after Divine Service, his MAJESTY, accompanied
by the Duke of Dorset and the Marquis of
Conyugham, left Cumberland Lodge in his tra-
velling carriage and' four, to visit her Royal
Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at Bagshot.
His Majesty returned to the Royal Lodge to
dinner.

The Duke of GLOUCESTER arrived at the Ship
Inn, Dover, on Friday evening. The next
morning he was waited on by Capt. SMART, corn-
manding Engineer, and Major TAYLOR, R. A.,
NV ho attended the Royal visitor over the works,
with the order and appearance of which he ex-
pressed himself much gratified, as well as with
the attention shewn to him. At three his Royal
highness embarked in the Monarch steam-
Packet, under a salute, and proceeded to Calais.
We understand the projected tour will occupy
about six weeks.
