poisonous plants of treason and perfidy ; and you will not hesi-
tate one moment to forsake the banners of rebellion. And
you, provincial militia, torn front your homes and your peace-.
ful pursuits, to defend a deceitful liberty which has been for
you only the slavery of death, can you hesitate ? No. You
are Spaniards, and you will wipe out in one day the stain you
have inflicted on the militia of our' country, which in all times
was a pattern of loyalty.
" Hasten into our ranks you will there find friends and
brothers, who will help to restore liberty to our King and hap..
piness to Spain ; but, if you remain deaf to this last appeal
if you obstinately persist in a fruitless resistance—you may
tremble at the punishment which will overtake you in a
few days. ' " VINCENT DE QUESADA.
" St. Jean de Luz, March 10,1823."
" To the Inhabitants Ville Three Biscapan Provinces.
" Companions and Friends !—When you did me the honour
last August to Choose me for your Chief, I was at the head of
the valiant and faithful Army of Navarre, Which I at that time
commanded.. Pissive obedience, the Chief duty of a soldier,
caused me to give 'up this post. I directed my steps towards
France, when my heart desired to be united Kith you, and
pleased itself with admiring your triumphs and your constancy.
I laboured to procure you succours by every possible
I have succeeded in my efforts, and yon'will very soon see me
at your head.
You have heard, Comrades,: the august words of the wise
and virtuous Louis XVI I 1., Chief of the ancient Dynasty of
the Bourbons, words which all France have repeated with en-
thusiasm. A hundred thousand soldiers, commanded by the
Duke of Angouleme, the son of his heart, are ready to rush at
the first signal on the Spanish territory. They do nut come to
domineer over us, but to bring us peace—mot dictate laws to
us, but to give liberty to our Sovereign, that he may re-establish
our ancient laws and usages. The son of St. Louis is coming to
restore the Throne of Ferdinand : he desires to establish In its
ancient splendour and dignity the holy religion of our fathers,
proscribed at present by a few impious men—he comes, in fine,
to restore us that happiness of which the treason of' some per.
jured soldiers has deprived us.
" The white flag will heal the wounds which were made by
the eagles of the Usurper. Receive it, comrades, as the signal
of peace; let us open our arms to our brothers; let there be
no other rivalry between them and us than the rivalry of loyalty
to our Sovereign, of discipline and order. Yes, they are our
brothers. There are in Europe at present only two nations ;
one composed of impious wretches, who, under the name of
liberty, aim at destroying altars and thrones, and overthrowing
social order • the other, composed of religious and loyal men,
the friends of legitimacy; one conspire in their secret and dark
meetings, to destroy every thing which is sacred In the uni-
verse; the other is represented by the Holy. Alliance, the mug.
nonillions Princes of which proclaim aloud the Conservative
principles of order,
" To signify bow much the arrival of this flag ought to
be agreeable to us, I have, with my Staff, adopted a white
mask on the upper part of the arm, which will be the ern-
blem of our indissoluble alliance. I hope that all the Chiefs
and officers of my Corps d'armee, and the Administrations of
those countries through which we pass, will hasten to imitate
our example.
" It will not be enough that we give the French a brotherly
welcome; it will be more glorious for us if they are only the
allies of our and the spectators of our triumphs. Hasten,
then, to take up arms, inhabitants of the three Provinces ! come
and assemble round the flags of honour and fidelity. The va-
liant and magnanimous .'Merino and tabula, and the noble
Trappist who is to add me with his courage and his Councils,
is for us. These4will be your models and guides. I will en-
deavour to render myself worthy of them and of you. Soldiers,
inhabitants of the three Provinces, you also are Spaniardsi

chains which weight heavy on our King and our country. •

PARIS, MARCH IB.—The Journal de Toulouse
amtains the following paragraph under the head
of Figueras, March 5 :

In Lerida, the fortifications are repairing, and provisions .for
a year are preparing for its impregnable fortress. A battsliotv
of patriots has been formed there, independent of the militia
intended to defend the place in case of a siege, Flying .parties
of chasseurs are also forming, to pursue any rebels who .may
make their appearance. The lots have been drawn for recruits
for the army, and on this occasion patriotiam has completely
overcome the deep-rooted repugnance of the Catalonians to tins
species of service, .

the province, is exprcted here in a few days. It
is said that in a short time he will have in Lam-
pou rdan alone, 12,000 infantry and 1,0(X) cavalry,
with Out including the active and volunteer mi.
litia. Passports for the interior are given to all
suspected persons. It is in contemplation to re-
move all the Judges of 1819, as well as the Politi-
cal Chiefs and the Generals who have not given
sufficiently strong pledges of their devotion to
the Constitution. In short, the Communeros
look forward to a political regeneration, such as
ought to have taken place in March, 1820."
The Gazelle de France yesterday described
an attempt to cause a conflagration at Toulon as
the result of a dreadful plot, the object of which
was the destruction of the arsenal and even of
the town itself. The article which, appeared to
be official, because the news arrived by telegraph,
has excited great alarm. The matter is now ex-
plained—that is to say, a journal last night gave
the lie to the story, and described what had
happened in the following terms
" The fire was first discovered at three o'clock
in the morning of the 11th, in a wooden hut, 12
metres long by 5 wide, situated to the west of the
'Pigou Here of the port. A part of the hut was employ,
ed as a depdt for carpenters' tools, and another part
Sias appropriated to the reception of articles used
in ship-caulking. The hut was entirely destroyed,
and the fire communicated itself to the Pigou-
Here ; but that being a stone building, and
vaulted, it afforded an opportunity for checking
the flames, and about half-past four the confla-
gration was completely got under. The damage
is estimated at 5,500 francs. The naval com-
mandant has directed an inquiry to be made into
the cause of the fire. Suspicions have fallen
upon some galley-slaves, who were employed
during the night in draining the ditch la Baliene."
Yesterday, about fifty young gentlemen, be-
longing to the late province of Bretagne, who
happened to be in Paris, proceeded to the house
of M. Manuel, the Deputy for La 'Vendee, to
express their satisfaction at his conduct in the
sittings of the 3d and 4th of March.

A Quarterly General Court of Proprietors of Bank Stock was
held yesterday at the Bank of England:
The CnAinstax proposed a halflyearly dividend of four
per cent. and accounted for the reduction of one per cent. by
stating that there had been an important diminution of the usual
profits of the Company.
Mr. GONDItY, in opposing the reduction, observed, that the
general body of Ptopnetors could not but greatly, and with reit,.
son, be dissatisfied with the sweeping statement given by the
Chairman. Admitting the propriety of reducing the dividend in
proportion to.the redoction of the profits of the Company, and
vice versa the rise of the former with the increase of the latter,
yet surely it was but reasonable, that the Court should be put hi
possession of a detailed account of those profits whose insuffi-
ciency was the alleged cause of a reduction in the present half.
yearly dividend. If' the Directors would come forward with a
satisfactory statement, they would find the Proprietors ready to
agree to any reasonable relinquishment of an adequate portion
of their dividend ; if, however, they were still determined to
keep the Proprietors in the dark upon this important subject,
theyinust not be surprised to meet with considerable opposition
to their measures.—Ile, for one, was dissatisfied with the an.;
candid conduct of the Directors, kind should therefore propose,
as an amendment, " That there be paid to the Proprietors, the
usual half-yearly dividend of 5 per cent, on the sth April next.'
Mr. NEsIIITT shortly seconded the Amendment, and express=
etl himself equally, dissatisfied, as to the non-production of
,pa.
perm, with the Hon. Proprietor who had just sat down.
A PROPRIETOR said, that the simple question for the
Court to decide upon was, whether or not it was satisfied with
the conduct of a body of Directors, who, for a long series of
years, had been proved to have been actuated by the most
laudable and honottrable feelings towards the great body of the.
Proprietors. He, for one, could not see any reasonable ground
for questioning the policy of the proposed reduction, and he
thought either, that the verbal assurance of the diminution or
the profits should be satisfactory to the Court, or, that the Pro:.
1 prietors should proceed to the election of a Court of Directors,
to whom they could better confide their interests.
Mr. I' o two shortly opposed the reduction.
The Court ultimately divided upon the Amendment, when
there were—

been summoned on special affairs, besides- the dividend. It
was for the purpose of submitting to the Courto that his Ma-
jesty's Ministers had made a 'proposal for the purchase, by the
Bank, of a portion of the annuity created for defraying the Mi.
Mary and Naval Pensions, which, upon full consideration, the
Court of Directors had ageed to, if it should meet with the ap-
probation of the Court of Proprietors ; and the Governor then
read the following letter from the Trustees, and the resolution
of the Cowl of Direetors thereon :

CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES.— SITTIwu or' Manor 17.
Among the Petitions on which a report will be made in the
first Kitting after the 19th are the following from the mer•
chants of Havre; 2, from the merchants of Berdeaux ; 3, from
the inhabitants of Bethancourt (Aisne) ; 4, from the inhabi-
tants of Annoy (Aisne); 6, from the inhabitants of Havre;
6, from the merchants of Lille ; 7, from the merchants of
Rouen ; 8, from the inhabitants of (hives (Aisne); 9, from
the merchant ship-owners of Morlaix ; 10, from the inhabi.
tants of the 'ports of Dinie and Pontrieux. The Petitioners
express fears as to the consequences of war, which may prove
prejudicial to commerce ; and they pray for the maintenance of
peace.

On merely reading the repartee the Sittings of the Cortes, held
since the memorable 9th and 11th days of last January, and re..
fleeting on the attitude Spain has assumed in so short a period,
it will be seen what an extraordinary efilet has been produced
therein by the several Notes addressed to our ooVerninent by the
Cabinets of liolyAllianee' —the (*titian boldness with which
they have been answered; the firm and dignified manner in which
they were rejected by the Congress ; at Well as the sensations
excited by the rumours of war with France, the hostile prepata.
tions observable in the Pyrenees, and the arguments used
against and in favour of the probability of the Invasion taking
place. 'When some persons eipected to see the Citizens of this
great nation most divided, now it is that they ate seen most
united ; now it is that an inexplicable serenity is remarked ;
nothing is beheld on all sides last preparations for defence; anti
we find national hymns swell the noise of the workshops, where
cannon, stores, and arms of all kinds, are preparing to equip
our valiant sons, who will never bend their necks to the humi-
liating yoke of foreigners, and who have always kept the oath
they haveltaken.
Scarcely had the Spanish Congress pronounced their solemn
determination, recorded in their Sittings of the 9th and 11th of
January—scarcely had the French Ambassador quitted the
capital of Spain, when the presentiment of an immediate war
United in such a manner the minds of all Spaniards, that in a
few days we beheld a new battalion of volunteer militia raised
in Madrid, and this, together with the rest, offered to go off' to
the Pyrenees, if the country was threatened; numerous Gene-
irals and officers who had earned their reputations in the war of
independence hastened to offer themselves to march to the point
of the greatest danger, and to sustain their eauntry'a rights pro.
claimed in the Political. Constitution of the Monarchy, and to
repel all foreign aggression and immediately afterwards thou-
sandeofpatriots followed their eiample. There are now already
forma 52 bands of guerillas, capable of taking the field, if necet-
sity requires ; and that spirit of union and calm firmness which
prevails among the worthy Representatives of the Spanish na-
tion and•the Members of the Oovernment, is beyond descrip-
tion. The same sentiments also prevail among all the peoplet
as is seen from the numbers of addresses sent up to the Cortes
and Oovernment, by all the bodies of the army, navy, active
and local militia, public functionaries, literary corporations,
clergy, deputations, municipalities, in short, by all classes and
individuals in the State.

The Pilote of yesterday evening contained the
following letter, signed by 150 citizens, officers,
sub-officers, and privates of the four legions of
the National Guard :--

" TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE PILOTE.

" SIR—We have read with attention the Order of the Day
of March 7, 1023, addressed by M. Polissart de Quatremere,
Colonel of the 4th Legion, to the officers and sub-officers of
this Legion, in which he tells them they have heard with just
indignation of the conduct of Af. Mercier on the 4th, in re-
fusing to obey the order given by Captain Fremont to seize M.
Manuel, Member of the Chamber of Deputies.
On the contrary we declare, far from having felt the senti-
ment which is attributed to us by the Colonel at the courageous
and patriotic conduct of M. Mercier, our comrade, we agree
with him in heart and principle, and in a similar situation each
of us would imitate his example—in testimony of which we
have signed this letter.—We beg of you, Mr. Editor, to insert
it in your next Number.
" We have the honour to be, Am &c.
Here follow 150 signatures of Officers and Sub-officers
of the Fourth Legion of the National Guard.]

In Ilarcelona all the artillery has been mounted, and the ptblic
enthusiasm has risen to such a pitch; that even the most delicate
ladies have aided in this labour, so much opposed to the weak-
ness of their sex ; the place has been put in a complete state of
defence; new battalions have been raised; and even the militia-
men called upon by the law have all enlisted themselves unarm
the volunteers, in imitation of several other towns In the
kingdom.
The enthusiasm is, in fact, general. There have already ar-
rived in the province of Gerona 2000 recruits, drawn by ballot,
intended for the regiments of Leon, Navarre and Ilarbestro,
the greatest part of whom have been conductedl here by the
worthy Commander of the latter regiment; he has brought
them from Madrid without a single soldier to escort them, and
they have come all along the road' singing patriotic songs and
learning their exercise, m which it Is incredible how much they
arc advanced.
In Gerona a workshop has been opened to mount the large
quantity of gun-carriages we have here, and already this is in
a very forward state. A company of volunteer artillery has
been formed, which already does duty, and several other vu.
lunteer corps are also prepared for active service.
The cannon of the fortresset of Figueres and Hostalrich
are preparing, and provisions providing, the latter by the
neighbouring towns, where the inhabitants 'have offered the
necessary supplies the moment the Authoritlaealled upon them.
In Tarragona, scarcely' had the_ parties of the rebels heard of
the French Invasion, when they all came in, with arms and ac-

ST. J EAM DE Luz, MAncli 12.—General Que-

el:mations :

Mr. Sox..t.t was antions to know, before the Dank embarked
in any new agreement with his itlaiesty's Govt.?innent, whether
the fermi proposal which emanated trout his biology's
stern resp,,cting the renewal of the Bank-charter, end which was
acceded to by the Court of Directors, had been earried intti

" TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL ARMY OF SPAIN.
" Soldiers, who have hitherto been bowed down under the
yoke of the most monstrous Constitution, rouse yourselves from
your lethargy, and break the Ignominious Chains which aresim_
posed on you by those impious and ambitious men, who only
employ you to destroy the religion of your ancestors, and keep
your Sovereign prisoner. If the experience of three years' as.
sasinations, pillage and anarchy are not sufficient to undeceive
you—if the blood which runs in your veins has not recalled you
to the paths of honour, turn your eyes on all the provinces of
Spain in rebellion against a violent and Usurping Government;
see the thousands of faithful people who are taking up arms
every day in favour of the captive King, and see the hundred
thousand Fre.nehmen ready to enter our country, to tear up the

show, that since the application alluded to liall'heen made by
his ,Majesty's tiovernthent, it bad been suspended by them,
and due nutlet+ given thereof to the Court of INreentrs.
Some conversation then arose upon the contract just an,
