ESCAPE OF A DESERTER,—On Saturday, about 9 o'clock,
a deserter made his escape from a file of soldiers, in the follow-
ing alert manner s-00 was walking in the centre of the guard,
the corporal and two men being in advance,' and three men a
few paces in the rear, on the right side of the Strand, and was
going to the rendezvous off .Sornerset-house. When the party
arrived nearly opposite Round-court, in consequence of some ob-
strucdon in firmed way, caused by a coal-waggon,some persons
were standing listening to the altercation that generally follows
such interruptions-; the crowd produced a temporary halt of the
guard, and at the instant the deserter sprung from off the curb,
under' the horses' bellies, and darted up Round-court ; 2 soldiers
followed him with much activity, and at the head of the court
presented their muskets. The corporal, who followed them,
seeing the court thronged with persons, very properly•desired
them net to fire, but to guard 'the passage, and hold their
comrades' muskets, while he and the others, armed with drawn
bayonets, pursued and searched the quarter, which •they
but the unfortunate deserter seemed to have a-thorough know-
ledge of the intricacies of the neighbourhood, and, assisted by
some of the inhabitants, completely eluded pursuit. The
guard of men remained on the alert in all parts of the neigh-
bourhood during the night, but could not recapture the man.

=PAM FROM PARIS.

We have received by Express the Journal des
Debuts of Saturday.—An English Courier passed
through Paris on Friday, bearing orders to
Sir WILLIAM A'CouaT, our Ambassador to
Spain, to repair to the Court of FERDINAND.--
It is, perhaps, a subject for ' regret that Sir
WILLIAM A'CounT did not accompany FERDI.
NAND from. Seville to Cadiz. Iris presence in
the first moments of what is called the libe-
ration of the infatuated Monarch, might have
enabled him to attempt a salutary counteraction
of the criminal and unjust influence to which FER-
DINAND has yielded. We know that the strongest
representations will be made to the King of Spain,
on the part of the British Government, in favour of
a. mild, conciliatory, and liberal policy, and of the
establishment of a free form of Government ;
but the machine having already begun to
work on the old principle of unlimited despotism,
and the career of vengeance and proscription hay-
ing commenced from the moment that Froolzwip

placed himself in the midst of the FrenckArmy,
it will be found much more difficult to bring back
his Government to moderate principles, and the
KING himself to the adaption of mild and judicious
measures, than it would havebeen to give an origi-
nal impulse to the councils by which he is governed,
and to the tone and temper of his feelings. The
intelligence brought by this express, as well as.
that which is contained in our preceding columns,
affords abundant evidence of the obstacles which-
.•••
are still opposed to the pacification of the coun-
try. Not only does Catalonia Continue to be
the scene of active operations, but GalliCia
has been the theatre of disturbances in rend
sequence of the- resistance of the peasantry
to the exaction of tythes, and, (more im-
portant thin all the rest,) the Army of BAT..
LASTEROX is acknowledged to have revolted, on
learning the perfidious conduct of the KING, and
to have -thrown the whole of the province in
which it is cantoned into a state of consternation.
By private accounts it :also appearS that a
stratagem was employed in " effecting" the sur-
render of the KING and of Cadiz. It was
known that the patriotic and unconquer-
able Militia of Madrid and of Seville, would
have resisted that fatal measure with their
lives. They were therefore sent out of Cadiz on
the pretext of repelling a pretended attack on
the Isle of Leon ; and, on their return to the
gates of the city, enfuriated by the suspicion
that some treachery was Meditated, the cannon
was pointed out against them, and they were re-
fused admission ! In Catalonia, the carps of
Royalists. commanded by the Baron d'Enor.ze
has been destroyed, the whole of themen core.
posing it having been 'killed or- taken' prisoners,
amongst whom is the Baron himself, whose head
will answer for that of DIEGO, if MINA and
hit... Army do not make their submission. ft
is admitted that the indefatigable garrison of
Barcelona had made 'another sortie, on the
,night preceding. the date of the last actotiutis
-Marshal MONT6iY, however; on the receipt
of a dispatch from the Duke of Arroopmet,
had opened negotiations, and it is Oder-
'stood that MiriA was to be offered the
Viceroyalty of Navarre under the Absolute
King. That -the Constitutionalists must for, the
present submit, we consider to be unavoidable, for
the reasons which we have stated in a preceding
Paper, particularly those arising from. the: over-
wbelmieg preponderancy given to the RoYalists
by the presence of the French Army. " But it is
already evident, that the materials exist for an
irresistible re-action, whenever the proper op.
portunity shall arrive, unless the indignation of
patriotism is appeased by the concession of
liberal institutions. The opportunity 'fora
re-
action must present' itself sooner or later, and
will consist either in the recal of the French army,
or in the manifestation of thßt universal spirit
..
of resistance, which,
,in such a country as Spain,
must inevitably be' excited by the long•conti-
nued presence of a foreign, army.

PARIS, Oct. 17.
..: NEWS FROM SPAIN.

MADRID, OCT• 12.—1 t is thought that his
Royal Highness the Duke of Angotaeme does not
wish to deprive the King of Spain of the honour
which will be shown to him by the inhabitants of
Madrid; therefore ho will not enter the Capital
at the same time as Ferdinand.

MATARO, OCT. 13.—After the reception of
Dispatch from the Major-General to the Duke
of Conegliano, the Marshal set off 'for Sarria,
which is near Barcelona. The negociations have
begun ; but the Marshal has caused the heavy
artillery to advance, with the view .of bringing
the business to a speedy conclusion. From Snrria
the Marshal went to Reclaim. It is generally
thought that -the sortie which took place yester•
day will he thelist one.

The Sub-Prefect .of Bayonne writes, under
date Oct. 13, to-the Prefect of Gironde.

44 The state of the health of the Lazaretto,
established at Berda Lahourda, near the Port of
Passage, was, on the 11th,—only one sick .person
and five convalescents:"

The Duke of Ventadour, Aid-de.Camp of the
Duke of An,:touleme, whose arrival we announced,
yesterday, was received this morning by the
King, and had a private audience. The Council.
General of Paris has resolved on the proposition
of Count Chabrol, Prefect of the Seine, that his
Majesty be entreated to permit the City of Paris
to give aide, to his Royal Highness the Duke of •
Angoulerne and to the Spanish Army.
Yesterday at michright passed through
a Courier from the English
English Government, bring-
ing orders to Sir W. 'Court to go to the King
of Spahr. Paris

To-day the Municipal Corps, having at their
head Count Chabrol, and M. Delavow, Prefect

of the Police, were admitted to an audience of

the King.

His Majesty, after having listened to the Ad-
dress, made the following answer :--46 I am ex-
tremely sensible of the sentiments expressed by
my good city -of-Paris. They could not have
given. me a greater mark of attachment than by
offering a fete, which will be worthy of him
wham I love to call my son, and who is the
glory of France and my happiness in my old
age

Curt', Twelve o'Clock.—Consols opened this
morning at 83Z11.—The Expresses from Paris
have brought the French Rentes at 901. 30c.,
and Spanish Bonds at 24i. This great fall of
Spanish Bonds in Paris was sensibly felt in our
oven Foreign Market. This morning the Spanish
Bonds ,opened at 27+, 25, 27-i, and are now 26,
which. is a fall since Saturday of 5 per Cent.—
By the 'Private Letters received by the above
Express, it is stated that Baron d'Ettot.ss has
been made prisoner by Mira, who has sent
word to the French Marshal, that he is
determined to sacrifice _the Baron, with two
French Officers and two Priests, should the
Spanish Government execute. General Riego.
—The fall of
.the Spanish Bonds at Paris
is attributed to a telegraphic dispatch, received
from the King of SeAts, stating his determina-
tiotknet to deviate from his first Decree in regard
to the Spanish Loan.
FOREIGN MAIIBIT.—LittIe or nothing doing
except in Spanish Bonds.

The price of Spanish Bonds is now consider.
ably higher in London than in the Paris Market
This may he accounted for from the con.
fideot expectation which is entertained tha
the British Government will insist on the
rigid fulfilment of the Treaty respecting
the claims of the Merchants, and the exc-
itation of which would of course involve the
recognition of all the other pecuniary '
gations of the: Constitutional Government-H
It is difficult-to imagine that FERDINAND'S Go.
vernment will•be so insane as to give this country
a.cause of war; for in a war so just, and so necee•
sary the preservation of the honour, and
to the assertion of the rightful claims, of Great
Britain,Spain could not reckon on being assisted
by France. England would bo able to say
to France, " We have, as you yourselves
mutt admit, a. fair and legitimate motive for
our hostility against Spain.' We did net inter-
fere in, your quarrel with the Same Power,
though we denied the justice of the prin-
ciple on which- •you founded your pretensions,
and though our interference was required
by many considerations of our own interest.—
On what possible ground, then, can you prtend
to interfere with us, in, Seeking the honourable
adjustment, not of an European question,' but
of a question purely British—the settlement
of which in no way affects the. state of
Europe or,the rights and interests of France ?"

WOW be difficult for France to find a pretext for
opposition to this policy. If, in violation of
ail justice and of reason, she did take part
against us, merely because she was resolved that
this country should be humbled—then it would
be necessary to • prove to her once again that
England is not to be insulted with impunity.

The following interesting account of some of
the proceedings in Cadiz previous to its sur-
render, and of the behaviour of FiRDINAND and
his correspondence with the Duke of Aptootr-
meta, appeared in the Chronicle of this morning:7—
" We learn, through a direct channel from Cadiz (the parti-
culars are also confirmed to us from Gibraltar), that the nego-
ciations were renewed between the contending parties, in con-
sequence of the taking of the Trocadero, which was made a fresh
pretext foi than.' It appears certain that the King of Spain
lairuself renewed the correspondence which had been abruptly
'broken off, by writing another letter to the Duke d'Angouleme,
the date of which, if we mistake not, was the Oth of Septem-
ber. In this letter, which was confided to General Alarm,
tbe King urged and solicited that an armistice might be
agreed upon, adding; " that during the suspension or hos-
tilities, he trusted it would be possible to agree on such terms as
would lead to the negociation and conclusion of a peace, mutually

decorous," Gen. Alava carried with him private instructions and
powers, in case an opportunity presented itself, to agree as to the
form and bases of the armistice thus proposed, yet unprovided
with any authority to promise a variation in the Constitution,
the occupation of La Isla, or indeed of any other point that
altered the position of the French from the :di possidetis at the
moment the armistice was agreed upon. This autograph
letter of the King announced that General Alava was the
bearer, and if successful, besides the ordinary details, he was
empowered to regulate the duration of the Armistice, as well
as the terms-and conditions on which it was to be made general
throughout Spain.
" General Alava was politely received; but when the object
of his mission had been considered by the Duke d'Angouleme,
the proposed negociation was rejected, and he was sent back
with a communication, short and haughty, in which the King
and the Constitutional Goveniment were told thrt the sine
qua non bases of any armistice and negociation which could be
accepted were, first, the liberation of the King; and, secondly,
the occupation of the Gaditanean Island by the French troops.'
" General Alava arrived at Cadiz with this perplexing note,
and in one equally laconic, dated the Bth, the King returnetlan
