clamation :

" Inhabitants of Barcelona—ln execution of the orders
of the Government, I have just entered the capital with
the troops under my orders. My mission consists in
executing in all their extent the superior orders of the
Regent of the kingdom. The constant will and desire of
his Highness are that, in this industrious city, the em-
pire of the laws and the triumph of the constitutional
cause may be insured, and that public order and personal
safety may be consolidated. To attain this object under
the direction of one supreme authority, seconded by the
other
.authorities in their respective spheres, and in con-
formity with the orders of the Regent, I have in another
proclamation, dated this day, declared the city in a state
of siege. This exceptional state of things, far from hav-
ing a tendency to diminish civil and political rights,
will tend, I assure you, to your protection and aid. I
will employ the extraordinary powers, which are en-
trusted to me only, for the chastisement of the guilty,
and by legal means. I will neglect nothing for the com-
pletion, as far as possible, of the orders of the Govern-
ment, within the limits of the laws. lam much pleased
that before my entry into the capital, the constitu-
tional Alcaldes had thought proper to adopt measures
for the maintenance of public order, according to
the terms of the proclamation which has been pub-
lished. Desiring to confirm this salutary arrange-
ment, and to give to it all the support in my power,
I order, therefore, as follows:—Article 1. Every per-
son belonging to the National Guard, or non-
military, who shall appear in the streets armed, or
employ his arms against public order, and therefore con-
sidered as a rebel, shall be shot.—Art. 2. Persons armed
and acting as the Municipal Guard, or as flying-patrol,
are excepted from the above.—Art. 3 is in the same
words as Art. 3 of the proclamation of the Alcaldes.—
Art. 4. Every person who by speech or writing shall
disobey, or excite to disobedience of my orders, made in
virtue of the powers conferred upon me by the Govern-
ment, shall be regarded as a rebel.—Art. 5. In order to
try those who may violate the preceding orders, there
shall be created a military commission, which shall con-
form itself to the provisions of the law of April 17, 1821,
and to the last decisions come to respecting riots and
disorder. "The COUNT DE PE lt ACAMPS

THE CIVIL WAR IN MEXICO.
' In the New York papers which arrived about a week
ago, there was an account of the sanguinary contest in
Mexico, brought down to the 2d of September. How-
ever, in the German papers which reached town yester-
day, we find later intelligence. A private letter, dated
from the Mexican capital September 14, received by a
house in Hamburgh, gives a variety of details, from
which we make a few extracts :
" Mexico, SEPT. 14.
" About midnight on the 31st of August I hastened to

the window in consequence of an uncommon noise in the
street. I saw an immense number of people running
here and there. At first I thought they were avoiding-
the rain, which was then falling very heavily, but I soo,
al nnye near eraet-
observed that our neighbours were carefully shutting
and fastening their windows. Very soon, to
astonishment, I learned that General Valencia,
lation of the President Bustamente, who a few •
fought against the revolution, and who on thaYtearacscoaugnei

tation of a valuable sabre, had declared against
Government. Here such men are not said rebel, they
only pronounce, and the rebels call themselves ' Pronun-
ciados. The best troops have pronounced with General
Valencia, and he has taken possession

" On the 7th the Cortes was declared in a state of
siege. On the 11th the President advanced with his
troops against the citadel, but he soon fell back, as he
was afraid of being cut off. It is said that Santa Anna
is in Peroti, and it is thought he will not be able to ad-
vance any further, as it is said the Government has
posted 700 cavalry in such a manner as to prevent him
from passing the Plain of Puebla.
." Since the French blockade, the Government is afraid
of giving offence to European Powers. A bulletin has
therefore been addressed to the foreigners, desiring
them to put out their national flags on their houses, so
that if there should be any plundering, it should all fall
upon the Mexicans only ; but as yet no flags have ap-
peared. The Archbishop went

will not listen to him. General Paredes is expected to
arrive on the 17th with fourteen pieces of cannon and
3,000 men. It is probable that Bustamente will then be
..abandoned by all his troops. The leaders have issued
long proclamations, addressed to their respective parti-

dated the 13th." .

WOOLWICH-WEDNESDAY.
ROYAL ARTILLERY.

The officers, non-commissioned officers, and men of
the Royal Artillery, whose routine of duty caused them
to be stationed at the Tower of London at the time the
late fire took place, have had their exertions on that oc-
casion noticed in very just and flattering terms as fol-
" General Order, Nov. 23, 1841.

lows :

" The Master-General having had before him the
Report of the Committee appointed to inquire
into all the circumstances connected with the
late fire in the Tower, and having received
likewise from Major Elrington, Fort-Major of the
Tower, a communication expressing the high opinion he
entertains of the services of the Royal Artillery, not only
in the removal of the powder, but of their exertions
equally with the other troops to check the progress of
the flames on that calamitous occasion, the Master-Gene-
ral has much pleasure in expressing his thanks to Cap-
tain Archibald Maclean and Lieutenant Radcliffe, as
also to the non-commissioned officers and men of the
detachment of Artillery which formed part of the gar-
rison of the Tower, when the above calamitous event
took place.
" The order and regularity evinced by the detachment,
as also the zeal, intelligence, and perseverance displayed by
each individual, under circumstances requiring, in a pecu-
liar manner, the union of caution with promptitude, and
with continuous exertion, were such as perfectly to sustain
the high character which the Royal Artillery has so long
deservedly enjoyed in the service.
