our statetnent or yesterday, respecting the forcible
removal of the King of SPAIN from Seville to

Cadiz :

The KING SPAIN and the CORTES at CADIZ
MADRID, JUNE 18.

(EXTRACT OF A LETTER RECEIVED BY EXPRESS.)
" The following are the details which I have
been able to collect of the news from Seville
On the Bth Sir W. A'Court offered his me-
diation to the Government, proposing to go in
person to Madrid, and promising to do all in his
power to bring back favourable conditions. The
Cortes replied, that they stood in no need of any
foreign interference ; at the same time they
expressed their gratitude for his good intentions.
" On the 9th there was a grand sitting of the
Council of State, in which the Prince of Anglona
declared that they ought to negotiate with the
Duke d'Angouleme. This advice being rejected
by the Council of State and the Cortes, the Prince
gave in his resignation. On the 10th. there was
a very stormy sitting of the Cortes.
" On the lith the King was waited upon, and
requested definitively to state whether he was
willing to set out for. Cadiz.
" His Majesty replied, that as far as regarded
himself, he had no objections to go, but as
he considered his transference to Cadiz con-
trary to the interests of his people, he would
not yield to the demands of the Cortes but by
force. After this, there was another sitting of
the Cortes, in which, on the motion of M. Gui-
liano, it was decreed that the King was in 0 state
of mental insanity, and that being thus incapable
of conducting the Government, the Cortes or-
dered his being carried to Cadiz, and appointed a
Regency in his stead.
" The Minister of England then sent a note to
the Government, in which he stated that as he
was accredited to the King, and not to a Re-
gency, he could not follow the King to Cadiz
without further instructions.
" The Cortes then, in order that they might
remove 'the objections of Sir W. A'Court, order-
ed his letter to be answered by a declaration that
his Majesty would be under restraint only on his
journey, but that he would resume his functions
in Cadiz. Sir William replied,' that he could
not go, for that he did not see his objection re-
moved by the proposed arrangement. He there-
fore remains at Seville for new instructions. The
Minister of the United States of America, the
Ambassador of the Netherlands, and the Ambas-
sador of Sweden, likewise remain at Seville. The
Charge d'Affaires of Saxony set out with the
Queen, she being a Princess of the House of
Saxony.
" This news produced the most lively indigna.
tion. Violent complaints were uttered against
those Royalist Members of the Council of State
who had run away from fear, and abandoned the
King to the mercy of his gaolers.
" It is believed that the Cortes arrived at
Cadiz on the 14th. General Zayns was intrusted
with the escort. During this deplorable crisis,
the people of Seville, under the controul of a fe-
rocious militia, were in a state of stupor.' On the
14th, in the morning, when it was learnt that the
King was embarked, the people rushed to the
boats which formed the convoy of the King and
the Cortes. Several persons were killed in the
boats, as well as in the town. Several houses
were pillaged and demolished. Such was the
farewell which the Spanish people gave to the
Cortes."

PAnts, monthly Afternoon, 4 o'clock.
" Besides the dispatch, of which 1 have sent
you a copy, the Ministers here have received a
second, which states that the King and the
Cortes arrived at Cadiz at two o'clock in the af-
ternoon of the 14th. The Cortes, immediately
on their arrival, declared the King restored to
the exercise of his functions; and the Govern-
ment will be carried on under his name as before.
Zayas, who commanded the escort to Cadiz, is
appointed to command the troops in defence of
that city.
" The funds at four o'clock were as follows :
Five per Cents., 88. 95.; Spanish, 36.1, ; Neapo.
litan, 74,1."

(EXTRACT PROW ANCITDER LETTER, SAME DATE.)
44 General Zayns, who commanded at Madrid
after the treachery of Ablaut!, commands the
troops who accompanied the King and the Cortes
to Cadiz. This force is greater than Seville has
been represented to possess. It amounts to 6,000
or 7,000 men. This General is intrusted by the
Government with the defence of Cadiz. Before
his departure from. Seville, he published a pro•
demotion extremely bold, if not even violent.
This is the more remarkable, as this General
had entered into a convention with the Duke of
Angouleme about the surrender of Madrid, which
only the irruption of Bessieres prevented from
being executed." _ _

The Regency appointed by the Cortes consist-
ed of three Members, Valdes, President ; Ciscer
and Vigo. •

(From Me Commercial Adverater.)
(FROM CURRACOA)—DEFEAT OF THE COLOM-
BIAN SQUADRON.
Just as our paper was going to press we re-
ceived, in 16 days, the Curagoa Courant of the
3d instant, containing an, account of an action
between the Colombian squadron, Commodore
Daniels, and two Spanish frigates, which had
just arrived on that coast. The action took
place near Porto Cabello, and lasted from
three o'clock in the afternoon till pear 'sunset,
and terminated in the capture by the Spaniards
of the Maria Fr•ancisca, Co-mmodore Daniels, and
the corvette Carabobo; the schooner Raga, awl a
large felucca ran out of Porto Cabello daring the
action, and carried, in the two merchant vessels
which the Spaniards had in convoy :* they after-
wards returned to the Spanish frigates, and were
seen laying between them. The brig independensia,
Cantporese Belache, was also in the action, but
escaped, and passed Curraqoa on the '2d. The
action is stated to have been well contested by

the. Colombian vessels, against great superiority
of forte; the Spanish vessels, iepnrted tote one
of 54, and the other 44 guns'. 'lt is supposed
great slaughter must have been made on both sides.

Owing to the delays in voting the remaining
Estimates in sappy, the Budget is now postponed
till Wednesday week. According to existing ar-
rangements, it is calculated at the Government
Offices that on Friday se'nnight the House of
Commons will adjourn for a short period, to af-
ford time for the Upper House to get through
the business that will then be before their Lord-
ships. The 14th of July is now fixed for the
Prorogation.

HAYMARKET TITEATItE.---The first piece at
this Theatre last night was of light summer wear,
such, as suits with the season. It is entitled
Twelve Precisely. The heroine is Mrs. CHAT-
rEtt LET, who assumes several characters with ex.
traordinary rapidity in
the changes of dress,
and is not less ready in assuming the qua-
lities which belong to then, all. The piece
is lively and diverting, and shews the ver.
satility of Mrs. CHATTER LEY'S
powers in a very
favourable light. The Heir at Lae; was the
second piece. We have already noticed its re-
presentation at this Theatre during the
present
season, and given a proper tribute to the merits
of LtsTon and TERRY
in Lord Daher& and
Panglos. The parts of Zekiel and Cicely Home.
spun were rendered very prominent by Mrs.
WE6T and Miss S. Boom The former
displayed rustic humour and manly feeling,
and the latter affecting simplicity and truth.
Mr. MASON, from Covent.garden Theatre, was
the Harry Moreland : he supported the part
with great propriety, but was rudely assailed by
some vulgar Cockneys in the pit. TERRY
adroitly applied a passage Su the Epilogue to
these unmannerly striplings, much to the satis-
faction of the audience. The whole concluded
with the popular Farce of Mrs. Smith.
The new Operq,entitled Matilde e Corradino ;
ossia, Il Trioveo della Delta, is, we understand,
considered on the Continent as the best produc-
tion of Rossm, who now seems to be abroad ,
the most popular composer of the day. As '
this Opera is to be Antroduced here by
Madame RONZI DE BEGNIS, who is so justly
admired its the musical circles, it will pro-
bably be very attractive. This charming per-
former
and her husband possess such eminent
talents, and have conducted themselves so pro.
perly during their residence in this country, that
they are deservedly high in favour in the fa-
shionable world, and we hope will experience
its liberal patronage.
That admirable Comedian JOE MuNnEN, is
rusticating at his rural villa on the borders
of Hampstead Heath. Ilis health is perfectly
restored, and, we are told, his matchless talents
are again to be called into request by Mr.
&LISTON, when be °pew; his next campaign.
CHARLES MATHEWS, during, his ramble among
the Yankies, has been indulging himself iu
singular freak, for a comic actor. lie has been
personating, with very great success, the charac.
ters—Richard the Third and Othello.
That son of laughter and fun, CuAsAlATurws,
has been off the coast, on board the Meteor, ever
since the 7th instant, without hPing able to reach
the port of Liverpool, where Mrs. MATHEWS and
young CHARLES have been waiting to receive <the
anxiously expected wanderer.
