BAYONNE PAPERS.

BAYONNE, APRIL 19.—Some soldiers, wounded in the af-
fair at Guetaria, have arrived here, and are now in the hospital :
two of them had the Legion of honour bestowed upon them in
the field of battle.

The French Consul, who had left llilboa, has returned to that
town.

A traveller, who has arrived from Spain, speaks of the good
arrangements that are every where making in the interior.. The
Constitutionalists are preparing, not to attack the troops of the
Army of Occupation, but to harass them ; and it is said they
will not attempt any thing till the line of operation is become
much more extended,' and till the corps of the army are near
Madrid. By that time the hot season will have set in, which
will be very favourable to the Patriots.
The Mail from Madrid, which has just arrived, brings.letters
to a date when the final arrangements made to enter Spain could
not be known in the capital. We learn that it was in tsanteni:.
plation not only to organize a more numerous militia, but also
to make a levy en masse of all that are able to bear arms. The
King and Queen are said to be in good health. His Majesty
seems much displeased at the hostile conduct of France.—
The duties of Customs have been replaced on the anekht
footing in all those ports of' Spain that are occupied by the
French army.

SOUTHWARK

" Gentlemen,—ln all the intercourse I have held with you,
I have invariably found you animated, not merely by a love of
freedom, but disposed to adopt the most enlarged and enlight.
coed views of its relations with the general state of the world.
It would be an insult, then, to your understandings and your
feelings, if I were to express a doubt of the concern you take
in the cause of Spain, not only as the issue May affect the
brave people of that country, but the liberties and interests of
your own.
" The battle, for the right of nations to change or int./neve
their Governments, is commenced on the Spanish soil.
" Circumstances' have authorized me to presume my presence
in that field may be welcome to the defenders of those rights.
I go, then—not to gratify any personal (which, in the actual
state of things, would be an inglorious) ambition—l go, not to
mingle with civil dissensions, in which it would not become
any foreigner to engage, except he could act the part of a paci.
ficator—but I attach myself to the fortunes of Spain in the hose
of her pressure and peril, prepared to share in her toils ; and
trust I may prove as emulous as any of her defenders to par
ticipate in her dangers.
" In taking this step, I am making many painful and err
barrassing domestic sacrifices, but I trust I am not subjec

myself of an censure. I may act in opposition to the
temporary policy adopted by the government, but I urn sure.
I do not deceive myself when I say, that I shall be the re-
presentative of the feelings and wishes of my constituents and
countrymen.
t° Under the uncertainty of the duration of my absence,
have not taken any step to restore the trust confided in me, al
I have been influenced to forbear from other considerations
than those of a personal nature. lat one time entertained
great scruples on account of any detriment which might arise
to the local inturcsts of Southwark, in the House of Commons
from my absence, but they have been removed by the friend-
ship of Mr. Lambton, who has offered his services whenever
they can be considered useful, and 1 feel confident that his zeal
and activity will prove to you that I have sufficiently provided
for the due execution of that portion of my Parliamentary trust;
I do, however, submit myself entirely to your direction,
and you have only to communicate your wishes to be obeyed by
one who will ever remember with pride, affection, and grati-
tude, your patriotism, kindness, and confidence.
" With the sincerest regard, believe me, Gentlemen,
" Your faithful and obedient Servant,
• " R. T. WILSON.

FASHIONABLE PARTIES.

TILE BALL AT HottsE.—llis Grace gave a
Ball and Supper on Friday night, and not a Concert, as repre-
sentcd. The eleven state apartments were thrown open on this
occasion, and never did that noble edifice appear to so much
advantage ason this occasion. After an hour devoted to the
contemplation of these objects the dancing commenced, it be-
ing then nearly midnight. There were four seta of quadrilles.
The apartment, which was called in the late Duchess's time
the Great Hall, is now the Saloon : this was the Ball-room.
About a quarter before two the banquet was announced.
Contrary to custom here, it was a stand-up supper. This
was desirable, for the uests were too frequently tempt-
ed to protract the time for returning to the dance, which
threw a gloom over the after-part of the night. On this
occasion it was not so • and the result proved the Duke's
good taste, for it was the most animated ball ever seen
in Devonshire House: the music did not cease till six o'clock.
The supper was served wholly on plate : there were soups of
every kind. The sideboards were decorated with antique mas-
sive salvers in gold.—The party mustered about 450 persons.
The Duke of Gloucester gives an elegant entertainment this
day to a distinguished party at Gloucester House, Park-lane.
On Friday Prince Leopold had a grand dinner party to meet
the Duchess of Kent. Among the company were, the Earl
and Countess of Harewood, Earl and Countess of Derby,
Marquis of Huntly, Earl Darnley, &c. &c.
Lord Berwick had a dinner party yesterday, at his house in
Grosvenor-square.
The Earl of Harrowby entertained the Marquis and Mar-
chioness of Lansdown, and a distinguished party to dinner, un

Til E THEATRES.

KING'S TB EATRE.—The indisposition of Signora
CARADOIU prevented the performance of the last
new Opera Eliza e Claudio, and Le Nuzzo di
Figaro was the substitute on Saturday. The
house was crouded, and the boxes filled with
the fashionable world.

DRURY LANE.---PreViORS to the performance
of The Marriage of Figaro on Saturday, bills
were posted round the Theatre, stating that
illness prevented Mr. &LISTON from appearing,
in the part of count Almaviva, and be-
fore the commencement of the Play Mr.
lasToN,came forward to state that, at a very
short notice, Mr. PENLEY bad undertaken to
perform that character. It is but justice to Mr.
PENLEY to observe, that he stood in no need of
an apology, but.
.supported the part with spirit,
and as correctly as if it was familiar to him by
practice. LISTON, BARLEY, Mrs. AUSTIN, and
Miss STEPHENS, severally acquitted themselves
to the satisfaction of a numerous audience.

CovENT-GAttnEN.--The Jealous Wijb was so
Avell supported on Saturday at this House as to
deserve a more numerous audience; Mr. C.
K EMILE and Miss CHESTER were very success-
ful in the two chief characters, and the other
parts were altogether
,well assigned and sup-
ported.

SPAIN.

We have received Madrid papers to the lOtli
inst., and can find in them nothing which might
afford a pretext for those gloomy pictures of the
state of the Spanish capital which have lately
appeared hi the French journals. There is no
allusion to any agitation or disturbance. The
latest accounts from the King leave him at Car-
dova.—The following official publication on the
subject appears in the. Universal of the 7th :
" Their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses arrived to-
day in this city, without any alteration in the state of their
health— The political chief, the provincial deputation, the
constitutional ayuntarniento, and other authorities, went forth
to receive and compliment their Majesties and their Royal High-
nesses, who entered at noon amidst an immense multitude, who
shouted repeated acclamations to the constitution and the con-
stitutional King.
" Signed by the Secretary of the Home Department.
" Cordova, 4."
Nothing more is said respecting his Majesty's progress, and
he had only to travel seventy-five miles farther to terminate his
journey.
A number of foreign corps are forming in different parts of the
Peninsula. A corps of French refugees, under the command
of Colonel Aymar, marched from Madrid on the 7th, to join
the army, after parading the streets with the tri-coloured
flag, and singing patriotic songs. A considerable corps which
was raised at Ililboa is commanded by an officer who was
an aide-de-camp of Marshal Net. The strength of this co-
lumn is said to have been greatly increased by desertions from
the French anny. A number of Italians have also offered their
services against the invaders of Spain. The troops in pursuit
of the factious parties appear to have been every where success-
ful, and the papers contain several dispatches detailing the de-
feat and dispersion of those marauders. Many prisoners have
been brought into Madrid. The accounts from Valencia con-
firm the total defeat of the rebels commanded by Sempere. An
anecdote is related which exemplifies the nature of the seduc-
tion employed by the priests to persuade the ignorant peasants'
that in taking up arms against the Constitution they are fight-
ing in defence of the Catholic religion. On the first approach
of the factious:to the city, one being taken and brought in fell
upon his knees, and exclaimed—" Do spare my life, and I will
turn a Jew also." Colonel Don Antonio Bann, who gained
the important victory over Sempere on the 2d, marched on the
sth against Murviedro;' with 1,100 infantry and 300 cavalry,
and 4 pieces of artillery. No account had reached Madrid of
the result of his expedition, but it was supposed that the rebels

• SPORTING.

BEDSWORTH HUNT.

Pontefract Park, the day after the Races, last week, exhi-
bited a gay assembly, in consequence of the hounds meeting
there, according to annual custom, on concluding their sport
for the season ; the day was favourable, and the sport excel.
lent. The success of this staunch pack of fox-hounds has been
on the whole most brilliant this season, and fully supports the
crack name they so much deserve.

STEEPLE CHASE.
A sweepstakes match of 15 sovereigns each took place on
Tuesday between Captain Marks and Messrs. Hamilton and
Jefferey, of the.Snowden Hunt. The start took place front
Middleham Cottage, near South Mimms, to go to Haydon-hill,
near Pinner, Middlesex, a distance of about 12 miles across a
close country. The three, very well mounted, kept together to
('aldicot-hill, leaving Elstree on the right; here Mr. Hamilton
separated from his competitors. Each took a different course,
but they met nearly together again on Bushy-heath. Captain
Marks took the best road, by the Hermitage, for Pinner Park,
whilst Mr. Hamilton pursued a straiwr course through East-end.
The Captain won the match by arriving at the destined spot four
minutes before Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Jeffery pulled up a long
way from home. It was done in forty-two minutes.

WALKING MATCH for TWENTY SOVEREIGNS.
An Officer in the Army (Mr. Webb) undertook on Tuesday
to walk fair heel-and-toe, twelve miles in two hours, over a
piece of ground of three miles. The match took place at Ash-
ford, Middlesex, and betting was 6 to four on time. The I'e.
destrain did the first mile in nine minutes and twenty seconds,
and the three milles in twenty-nine minutes, forty-seconds.
The first six miles in a minute and a half under an hour and a
half; and the whole distance in one hour and fifty-nine 'Minutes
and thirteen seconds.

Certainly we do not participate in the principles ncr approve of
the conduct of those Spaniard* who have raised against the'
Constitutional Government the standard of civil war but there
is in this conduct frankness and boldness. They have not pre•
tended to serve the Government of the fortes in order to betray
it at a given time ; they have openly braved its power and its
vengeance. Ilistory may see in their determination an error
more or less serious, but it will not accuse them either of fraud,
dissimulation, or baseness. ,

[PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.]
ZURECII, Auo. 2.—The letters we received from Berne,
where the Diet is assembled, resemble a bulletin of the health
of Switzerland. The first were alarming, and described the
most complete discouragement. The sacrifices demanded were
immense; a list of complaints against Switzerland, for which
reparation was required. Afterwards less disquietude was ma-
nifested i the foreigners showed themselves less unreason-
able ; still later premature hopes were conceived ; danger
was redoubled; yesterday all difficulties were removed ; to-
morrow the friends of independence will tremble anew, and
the whole session will be a continual alternation between
security and alarms. Happy the Swiss, if some violent
crisis dm not immediately injure a Constitution already so
rudely shaken. We have at least the consolation to learn that ,
the different deputations chew, if not all the energy that is to '
be desired, at least a concert calculated to frustrate the at-
tempts of our enemies, who had flattered themselves to oppose
one part of Switzerland to another, to disorganise it more
easily. The unfortunate affair of the anti-commercial con-
cordat was maladroitly brought forward by a few Deputies,
! eputies interfered to prevent its being made
a subject of quarrel. The President of the Diet, who had per-
sonally some unpleasant impressions to dissipate, has manifest-
ed in this Diet a patriotism so true, so afflicting, so concilia-
wry, that not the least doubt any longer remains as to his sin-
certty. So, whatever are our future destinies, Switzerland will
ut least escape the disgrace of being torn by her own hands.

OLD BAILEY.—(Tms DAY.)

At the sitting of the Court 15 females, and
upwards of 60 males were arraigned at the bar.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT.

Samuel Dutchin, a man of colour, was rut to the Bar, on an
indictment charging him with having feloniously converted to
his own use the sum of 205!., the property of his employed,';i
Messrs. Perkins and Heath, engravers, of Fleet-street, on the
31st of January last. The prisoner had been brought to this
country by the family of the prosecutors, who had'entertained
such an idea of his integrity that he was employed as their con-
fidential messenger, in which situation he obtained possession
of the money in question—having been sent with a check to
the Banking-house of Messrs. Cox & Biddulph for the amount.
—On his return he pretended to have lost the money, and was
very impudent, in consequence of which he was discharged,
and subsequently pursued to Liverpool, when he at length con.
fessed the crime, and produced is considerable part of the pro.
perty. The case was clearly proved, and the Jury found the
prisoner Guilty.

[hfOitNING CIIttONIC[, .1

The notice which Lord Lansdowo gave of u
question he intended to put to Lord Liverpool
on the subject of our former relations excited
muck expectation yesterday. it would seem
from fArd Licerpool'a answer, and from what
fell from Mr. Cunning in the House of Commons,
that Government are more sanguine in their
hopes of peace than they were ; at least such is
the only construction we can put on Lord Liver.

Fool's language. " He, therefore, now again de-
precated any further discussion, till it was evident
that peace could not be preserved. lie had no
difficulty in stating at the same time, that spe-
cial circumstances had arisen since the period•
before alluded to, and some of them recently,
which made him snore adverse than before to any
discussion of the differences between France and
Spain." Mr. Canning talks of peculiar negocia-
tions now pending. We were glad to hear Lord
Ellenborough entering his Protest against the in-
famous principle of" inducing Spain to give up
any part of her Constitutional Priviliges" though
as to" the heavy •responsibility they would incur
at some future period," we presume he alludes to
their responsibility in another world ; for bar.
ring the loss of place, Ministers, fortunately for all
who are at the helm of affairs, have now no other
responsibility to dread. The discussion on Mr.
Maberly's Resolutions was postponed at the re-
quest of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to
Friday next. We are prepared for a great
struggle on the part of Ministers for the patronage
which they would lose by the total repeal of so
many taxes ; bat we really do not see how the
Country Gentlemen can face their constituents if
they neglect their duty on this occasion.

" BRUSSELS, *FEII.2O.—A cause of the highest
importance will be pleaded on the .9th of this
month, at Brussels, before the first Chamber of
the Iligh Court of Justice. The discussion of
this affair wilt offer some very delicate questions
of Public and Civil Law.

" BUCHAREST, JAN. 19.—We have a very
severe winter here, and the country is entirely
covered with snow. All the streams are so frozen,
that the mills are almost at a stand-still, and
we should have no bread here, had not the Prince
prevented the.evil practice of the bakers, by com-
pelling them to open their magazines and to bake
bread."

MEMOIR E
S of BEN VN UTO CELLI NI.
Written by himself. The Third Edition, revised, trop
the Italian, with Notes.

fly THOMAS ROSCOE, Esq.
" The intimacy of Cellini'with Michael Angelo, Titian, and
all the great Italian Sculptors and Painters of the age ;.his con-
nexions with Francis I. of France, the Emperor Charles V.,
Popes Clement VII. and Paul 111., and many of the Princes,
Statesmen, and Ecclesiastics of that turbulent age, afforded
him opportunities of making the most interesting observations,
anti perhaps no man was ever more capable of availing himself
of such advantages. Of those great and prominent characters,
who then disposed of the destinies of mankind, Cellini gives us
at every turn, a transient but distinct view, a glimpse which
displays them in their private domestic moments, when they
little thought they were sitting fur their portraits, to one whose
pen was no less effectively descriptive, than his pencil was
strikingly imitative."--(Preface.)
" Cellini was one of the most extraordinary men in an ex-
traordinary age; his Life, written by himself, is more amusing
than any Novell know."--(HoracelValpole.)

[BRITISH PRESS.]

Lord Liverpool last night, in his place in the.
/louse of Lords, in answer to a question of the
Marquis of Lansdowne declared that the Cabinet
was pledged to no peculiar line of policy, nor
would the King's Government be justified in
precluding themselves from adopting any mea-
sures the honour and character of the country
may demand. We trust that suclr is, and will
be the. case, and that i•n addition to the mil-
lions that have already been squandered i►► use-
less and profligate expense, the character of the
country will t►ot be sacrificed.; and that if the
arts and intrigues of the Northern Despot shall
influence a fanatic faction in France to proclaim
war against the Peninsula and liberty—if this
Country, to preserve its legitimate influence,
and protect its ancient Ally, Portugal, is
obliged to embark in hostilities, that the con-
test will ►►ot be decided on until every effort to
the contrary proves fruitless, and all avoidance
is impossible; and if the nation must be corn.
milted, that the contest will be conducted with
the strictest economy, imposing as few burdens
as possible on a high-spirited but suffering peo-
ple. Lord Ellenborough, with n feeling that did
honour to him, declared, that if the. mediation
of England influenced Spain to concede any part
of her constitution, he would think it contrary
to justice.

quence of what had happened b,:fore them and the COnunii•
sionera on the former occasion.
Mr. WETHERELL and Mr. BROroltam wished that Mr.
Coombe should be called to state what occurred at the inter-

Mr. Serjeant PELL—Certainly; 1 wish it of all things. I
told him to take notice of every word, and I challenge hall to
come forward. I wish I could be put into the box myself to
state what took place.
It was then understood that Lord Portsmouth was to appear_,
before the Jury on Wednesday, on which day it is sufP'm
the inquiry will terminate.—Adjourned.
