SOLEM QUIS DICERE F.ILSUM AUDEXT,

LONDON,
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1823.

An addition of five thousand seamen is imme-

alidely to be made to the naval force of the

country. The Public is aware, that for some

time Past, there has been considerable activity
displayed in putting several ships of the line and
frigates on their full complement ; and the addi-
tion of 5000 seamen is therefore nothing more

than a necessary and corresponding increase of
men in proportion to the extension of the service.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS.
We have received by Express, the Etoile of

Yesterday. We yesterday stopped the Press to
announce iu a Second Edition, the receipt of the
• important information that the King of SPAIN, in
',lloquence Of the strong representations which
had been 'Made to him, had consented to re-
voke the impolitic Decrees issued by him
since his arrival at Port St. Mary. The im-
mediate consequence of this intelligence was a
great advance in the price of Spanish Bonds:
We observe from the Morning Papers of to-
day, that several letters, corroblorating the ac-

curacy of the inforwation we communi-
cated to the Public, were received yesterday in
the City; and though the Etoile, now re-

ceived by our Express, brings . no confirma-
tion of a fact of so much importance to the
rnanied and mercantile interests of England as
well as to the tranquillity of Spain, we continue
to place the utmost reliance on the authenticity
°I the statement with which we were favour-
"• indeed, as we have already more than
°lice stated, we have always been 'of opinion,
that if Sir WILLIAM Atonal., the. Arnbas-
.
sador from our Court, had been in attendance
upon
:ERDINAND from the moment—of his de-
parture from Cadiz, his influence would have been
sufficient to prevent the promulgation of those
Decrees FERDINAND has so soon seen the
bucessity of revokine ; and we have now no liesi-
tali"
in ascribing the salutary change which has
taken Place in his conduct, chiefly, if not
to the judicious counsels and active exertions of
Sir A n
WM.
.)2%.00t1RT. We are well convinced that
such of his instructions as were framed in antici-
pation of
tional Party,
the possible downfnl of the Constitu-
directed him to exert all the
leans in Ids power to induce the King of
SPAIN to pursue a moderate course of conduct,
and to neglect no honourable or proper
nity opportu-
of endeavouring to impress up
not onlon his Majesty
the
y
justice, but the policy, of treating
the ill-fated Constitutionalits with mildness and
forbearance. Unquestionably, the wisest course
Lrr
4 ERDINAND, al respects the security of his
oins as well as the peace and tranquillity of
hf
15 "minions, would be the creation of a liberal
urin
of_Government, as much as possible in
accordance with the wishes, feelings, and pre-
judices of all parties of his subjects, and the
Ifhl7e•-431e pro,nulgation of an act of
pardon
and
oblivion for all past political offences.—
is possible, that even yet, the appearance of
such an act would disarm all resistance to his

authority, and would enable him both to tran-
quillize the_ nation, and to rid himself with
the least possible delay of the French Army of
Occupation, whose long continued presence can-
not fail to be productive of the greatest dangers.
The Etoile, brought by our Express, contains
no news of importance• The King of FRANCE iS
SO far recovered from his recent indisposition as
to have been able to attend a Council of Miniq-
ters on Wednesday. The following are ex-

tracts :-

FRANCE.
His Majesty has presided at a Council of Mi-
nisters. The King did not go out to-day.
NEWS FROM SPAIN.--(COURIER EXTRAORDINARY.)
MADRID, OCT. `24.—They write from Gibral-
tar of the 16th as follows :—" Since the King
has quitted his prison at Cadiz, there have ar-
rived here 480 individuals, male and female,
of the Revolutionary party. One of the most
conspicuous among them is Bertrand-de-Lys, who
is now in prison for debt."
REPORT OF MARSHAL DUKE DE CONEGLIANO TO
THE MINISTER OF WAR.
SARIA, OCT. 22.
MY LORD—The place of Seu Urgel is in the
power of the Royal troops, and has submitted to
the authority of his Catholic Majesty. The gar-
rison, consistiug of 916 men, officers and soldiers,
are prisoners of war, and are conducted to
France. They had still provisions for near two
months. The allied troops took possession
yesterday of the forts.

CRDONNANCE OF THE ICING.
Our Cousin, the Marshal Duke de Belluno,
is appointed Minister of State and Member of
the Privy Council.
LOUIS.
AuusnoUßG, OCT.24.—Our Gazette Universal
gives to-day the first part of the note remitted
on the 30th of August to the Reis Effendi by
Lord Straugford. This was the note which
caused the Porte to make concessions to Russia ;
and it is to be remarked that the Court of Peters-
burgh has left in stalu quo the affairs conceraing
the places in Asia, which were reclaimed by the
Turks ; and it does not make any mention con-
cerning the Greeks.

:Private letters from Perpignan, dated the 22th
October, state, that the French are making great
preparations to lay vigorous siege to Barcelona,
and the other strong places in Catalonia in
possession of the Constitutional Spaniards, from
which it is inferred that the latter have no inten.
tion of delivering up these fortresses and towns to
the French agreeably to the orders of FERDI..
