NEWS FROM TILE SPANISH FRONTIERS.

BLOCKADE OF PAMPLLUNA), JULY 3.—You
have heard that M. Larochefoucault was sent by
the Duke of Angouleme to SUITIthODS tills place to
surrender; but this envoy was received by a
band of musics which played the Marselloise
and the Tragnla, and he could not obtain any
answer from the. Constitutionalists.

We have in our preceding columns inserted
copious extracts from the Paris Papers of Friday.
Doubts begin to be entertained as to the authen-
ticity of the Proclamations attributed to Mo.
niLLo. We shall sincerely rejoice if these sus-
picions prove to be well-founded.
The Bayonne article contains a variety of in-
teresting news. What it says respecting the
evacuation of Salamanca by the French, and its
occupation by the Constitutionalists, is con-
firmed by the official accounts. The conclud-
ing information, however, is of the greatest
importance, though it is nothing more than
we had previously prepared our Readers
to expect, viz. that 6' the English Ambassa-
dor (Sir WILLIAM VCOURT) set out for
Cadiz before the French arrived at Seville."—
'Our Readers will have remarked that the French
Bulletins, and the accounts published by
the Madrid Regency, have observed profound
silence respecting our Ambassador ever since it
WSJ known that the KING of SPAIN had been re-
Attkred to the exercise of the Royal authority.

zettes to the 13th June. The previous arrivals,

repce on the 12th. Amongst the passengers were
numerous emigrants, who have thus been reduced
to'extreme poverty, by the loss of all their pro-
perty, and even, in sow instances, of their
clothes. Six or seven of the passengers were
drowned.

Stn Tl►:vnr• 11.tEnuaN..—The death of this'
,Gentleman, .ritich happened on the Bth init. at
'St. Bernard's, Stockbridge, near Edinburgh, is an:
event that all friends of worth and genius must,

marked with fidelity and expression. His colour.
ing :was pure, his management of light and shadow
was judicious, and there was a firmness in, his
touch which very few artists have equalled. In
ids private character he was truly estimable : his
manners were,Mild And interesting.--There was
a generosity in his disposition,that rendered his
character the subject of esteem and friendship
to all wholnew him.

The English Journals of the 7th instant. re-
ceived this day, inform us that an inhabitant of
London has contributed the sum of 5,0001.
(.1.0,000fr.) to the subscription in behalf of the
Constitutional Spaniards. Privtite letters assert
that this anonymous individual is reported to be
no other than Mr. CANNING, and that his example
will be followed by a number of the ministerial
party who• were opposed to the war.--(Path

Seringapatam, and Slaney. In the.harboun—Queen Charlotte,

India station,. will sail on Monday. Lieut. Bennett and 13
privates, of the Royal Marine Corps, who have volunteered to
reinforce the garrisoitof•Ascension, and 20 men, for the ahips
on the Cape station, have embarked in her. • The Falmouth

On 'Wednesday the Tamar, 24, Capt. Herbert, arrived from
the West Indies. She sailed from Port Royal (Jamaica) 4th
of March, Vera Cruz, 11th May, Tampice the 18th, and from
the Havannah the Bth of June. The Ex-Emperor of Mexico,
Iturbide, who had abdicated, and was afterwards banished to
Italy, embarked at Antigua 12 miles to the westward of Vera
Cruz, the 11th of .May, in the ship Rawlins, Quelch, and sailed,
under convoy of the Tamar, for Genoa. The Republican Go-
vcrninent hired the ship purposely for the voyage, at twelve
thousand dollars. Iturbide is to have a pension of twenty-five
thousand dollars yer annum during his life. Mexico was
governed by a Regency, or Triumvirate, consisting of Mar-
shal Bravo (a creole), General Negretto (a creole), and the
famed General Victoria, of Old Spain. The country between
Ikleitico and Vera Cruz was in a settled state, but the markets
were particularly dull. The Castle of St. Juan d'Ulloa, at
Vera Cruz, was still held by the Spanish Royalists.—The
Tamar brought to England eight hundred thousand dollars,
some bags of cochineal, and vanilla, on account of merchants.
She left the Eden, 26, Captain J. Lawrence, C.D. at Vera

dated the 22d of May, that the Bann, 20, which left Sierra
Leone on the 28th of March, arrived there on the 29th of April.
in a •very sickly state. Captain Sauniarez (nephew of Admiral
Sir James Saumarez), died on the 19th of May. The writer
then says—" The fever' was not eprisidered contageous by the
medical men; however, I am sorry to say, it broke out
in the garrison, about ten days after her arrival, and we have
lost no less than seven men, woman, and children. The
others that have been attacked are gfitting better, and as
we have had no new cuiea for some days, we arc in great
hopes it will spread no further. The officers are well, except
the Assistant-Surgeon, and we have great hopes of his recovery.
The individuals who have died are-,-Sergeant • Sher and his
young son; Corporal Palmer, Jame; Webb, and John Dorrell,
private, and the wives of Corporal Mills and private Jackson,
leaving four children, who were born on the Island." We re-
gret to hear that the accounts brought by the Termagant, which
lay to off the island on the Mat of May (nine days after this
letter was written), state the number of deaths among the gar.
rison sit Ascension to have increased to twelvepersons, and that
several others were in the hospital. Besides Capt. Siannarez,
Messrs. Lloyd and Roxburgh, midshipmen, Mr. Franklin,
gunner, Mr. Dewar, Captain's clerk, and 28 seamen and
marines, of the Bann, had fallen victims to the fever. Lieu-
tenant Jones had assumed the command of the Bann, and Mr.
Iliggens and Mr. Stokes, midshipmen, were made acting
Lieutenants. '

THE Fitt CAUSE.—Very partial statements
have appeared in several Newspapers tegarding this cause, a ,
true Report of the Proceedings in the Scotch Courts, with all
the Details concerning them in the House of Peers, will be
published after the decision, and the Public rn!lr then form
an opinion on the merits of the Process. The present Earl
of FIFE was deprived of considerable property by deeds
made during his absence in Spain, and while engaged in the
war; immediately after his arrival in Britain, he considered
himself entitled 'to question their validity ; and circum-
stances disclosed in the course of the different trials in the
Court of Session of Scotland, and in the Jury Court, justi-
fied his determination and the unanimous judgment of the
Judges declared that the deeds were •not to be supported.—
They were stated to have been executed by his uncle, when
blind: just before his death, and labouring mulct,* most tor.
coentmg malady. The fittines of two persons appeared on the
decrial** witnesses, hut only one was present at she time when
it was said that they were executed, and' no proof credited by
the Jury was adduced, that the contents had been-read to the
Earl of Fife, or that he had taken means to be acquainted with
the contents of them. The opinion of able lawyers, in several
countries of Europe, have declared against the validity of deeds
made in such a manner.--1/ Morning Pest.)

A letter from Montreal, dated June 14, says—
" I have just been informed that the De Sala-
berry steam-boat was burnt to the water's edge
on Thursday morning last, at 4 o'clock, off Cape
Rouge, and all her cargo destroyed. Theo was
a considerable number of settlers on board, but
they were fortunately all saved."
Steam navigation appears to be carried to
a very great extent in the Canadas. On the
river St.. Lawrence, between Montreal and Que-
bec, during the open season, which lasts from
the Ist of May to the tsth of November,
no less than eight vessels are constantly plying,
of which the largest, the. Latly Sherbrooke. is of
787 tons burden, and is impelled by an engine of
60 horse power.
The Duchess of KENT, on her visit to the Pa-
lace in Pall-mall, on Thursday, was accompa-
nied by her youngest daughter, the Princess VIC-
TORIA, who had never till that day been
introduced to his MAJESTY. She is an interesting
child, of a very lively and affectionate disposi-
tion. His MAJESTY, with a kindness that was
worthy of him, had sent her his picture, set
round with brilliants, as a present on her birth-

day..
. We understand that the Duke of KENT'S Will
was prepared by a respectable professional gen-
tleman of this city, two day's only previous to
the termination of his.4aluable life at Sidmouth,
and that thereby the guardianship of his only
child, the Princess A LEXANDRINA, was committed
to the sole care and management of his amiable
Duchess.— (2xeter-Gazeite).
Friday Sir THOMAS MAITL.ANDI late Governor
of the lonian Islands, landed at Berwick from the'

ANECDOTE OF LORD Exstouni.—The wife of
ROVIRR, one of the French Deputies banished to
Cayenne, was taken on her passage by Lord Ex-
stoup', then Sir EDWARD PELI.EM'. She had
sold all her property in France, for the purpose
of joining her unhappy husband, and had with
her three thousand pounds sterling. Sir EDWARD
restored it.to her, and generously paid his crew
their share out of his own pocket.
EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—ThiS day (Thurs-
day) the ships Slakesby mid Hebe, Captains Johnson and
Hare, will sail' from Cove, 'for the new settlerneuts at
