SPAIN.

On the 24th of April, the Secretary of State for Foreign At.
fairs, Ban Miguel, read to the Cortes a memorial on the state
of the diplomatic relations of Spain. The lapse of time has
deprived this document 'of much of Its importance as well as
its novelty; but in consequence of some question asked by
a Deputy on the day before the memorial was presented,
the following note, which relates not only to the conduct of
the French Government, but to that of our Ministers, was
subjoined :

THE ARMY.

EDINBURGH, MAY 26.—0 n Thursday the first division of
the 7th Dragoon Guards left the New Barracks, Glasgow, for
Ireland. Their conduct in that city has been highly merman-
ous. They are to be. succeeded by a squadron of the gallant
Greys., who are at present on their march from Forfar,
Comae, and other places in the north, and are eXpected to
reach Glasgow to-morrow. Two companies of the 73d Regis
meat marched from Hull, for our garrison on Wednesday
morning, and the remainder followed on Thursday and Fri.
day morning. The 77th regiment, which has been ordered to Ire-
' land, and a detachment of which marched on Thursday from the
Castle, has occupied, for upwards of twelve months, most of the
garrisons and infantry stations in Scotland. This regiment, wo
believe, had its share in the dangers and glory of the pe-
ninsular war. At the siege of CuWad Rodrigo, its ,present
commanding officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Maclaine, lost a linth
in the service, The military ardour of this active officer, how.
ever, seems in no way abated by the loss which he has sustained.
The conduct of the regiment during its residence amongst us,
gained it the merited regard end parting regrets of our fellow.
citizens.

SPAIN.

Letters from Valladolid bring tln following
copy of a Proclamation issued by El Empeci•
r►ado

" Spaniards !—The French have presumed, treacherously
and basely, to invade our holy soil, and are advancing to the
Ebro. Ever a Spaniard and a freeman, lam determined to
war on them again to destruction. During the invasion of
1008, I fought for independence, and now I will fight for
the sante blessing, and for the public liberties. Castilians !
-4 am duly authorized to form constitutional troops to attack
the enemy—come and join me in this city, or at Aranda de
Duero. Fly to arms ! and wherever I shall lead, you will find
duty and glory. Let us take the field again ; let us be Viria.
tuses ; and the enemy being destitute of that genius which
make soldiers of them, we will fight and annihilate these
hordes of bondmen. Listen not to the wretches who want to
enslave us. Let the Constitution and virtue ever be the word,
and no power on earth shall.be able to seduce freemen to servi-
tude. The Constitution, Religion, and Liberty for ever !

Tll E MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE, MAY 16.
There is a good supply of Oats this week, chiefly from Ire-
land ; but of other kinds of Grain the arrivaht are small, which
obtain rather better prices than on Monday. Barley is also
rather dearer. Beans and Peas also advance a little. Oats
still sell well, and obtain ls. per quarter snore than the price*
quoted last Monday.
SMITHFIELD MARKET, Mlitx 16.

The suplliat aritiiihis-morning was fully sufficient for
the demand ; at the earlier part of the morning a high price
was asked for Oxen and Sheep, but towards the close of the

the interests or the Proprietors, and the future
welfare of the Slaves themselves. After a de-
bate,Mr.-Buxton withdrew his Resolutions, and
those of Mr. Canning were carried without a di-
vision. The supporters of the Abolition may
now congratulate themselves on having made one
great step towards the accomplishment of their
honourable object. That the question is embar-
rassed by some serious practical difficulties can-
not be denied ; but it seems now to be admitted
on all hands, that slavery cannot be regarded as
interminable ; and surely it is wise to make de-
liberate preparation for the important change,
rather than leave it to the operation of time and
chance.

[BRITISH PRESS.]
The extreme press of matter in our Payer pre-
vents our making this morning any comment on
the most important debate of last night, on the
presentation of the numerous Petitions, and Mr.
Fowell Buxton's motion grounded on them, for
the Abolition of Slavery in the Foreign Depen-
dencies of Great Britain. Mr. Canning moved
three resolutions as an amendment to that of
Mr. Buxton, which, we confess, we think the
House were right in calmly adopting. They em-
braced the great principle of ultimate abolition of
slavery, giving freedom to the rising generation,
and liberty to the sable bondsman himself, at a
period consistent with his own provision and hap-
piness, and the safely and property of the num-
bers who have millions embarked in the concerns
to which the African population are attached.—
The gradurat—emancipation of these devoted
behgs will be a soured of inestimable happiness
to themselves, and a foul and dark stain re-
moved from tIT character of Great Britain ; but
until the accursed slave trade itself is utterly
abolished—until the whole influence and force
of Great Britain are exerted to extinguish for
ever this infernal traffic in the tears and, blood of
thousands of human beings—all other exertions
are hopeless and almost vain. This abominable
trade is still carried on to a dreadful extent, on
the coast of Calabar and elsewhere, by France,
and even by Constitutional l'ortugal. If Great
Britain has not lost all her influence with the
first, it ought to be exerted to extinguish this
nefarious barter in human blood and misery ;
that she has the power, purchased both with
money, by ancient services, and recent protection
given to Portugal, to exact its extinction pe-
remptorily from her, until all vessels of whatever
nation so trading are subject to be treated as
pirates, and the right of unlimited search on every
sea conceded. For that purpose nothing effectual
will be done, let Parliament resolve as it may.
We trust that both Mr. Wilberforce and Mr.
Buxton will be unceasing in their efforts until this
great measure is accomplished.
London, England, 1823-05-16

to think this account quite correct, for we cannot imagine that
so skilful a General and active a partisan as Mina would suffer
himself to be surrounded, and caught, as in a trap, by an army
which cannot be double the force he is supposed to have with
him, even if the army opposed to him were all collected for the
purpose, which is surely not the case. Nor can we think that
Mina, even if he were in the situation stated, would be abso-
lutely obliged to fight a battle. The courier has also brought
the news of the occupation of Gerona ; but as that place was
dismantled and incapable of defence, it was not likely that
Mina would needlessly expose any part of his troops, of whose
value he must be more than ever sensible, since the hopes of
the Constitutional party in Spain depend in a great measure on
that General.

" Travellers now arrive very frequently from all parts of
Spain occupied by our troops : they confirm what we already
know, that we meet with no kind of resistance ; but they
also say, that almost the whole population, especially that part
of it which is able to bear arms. has fled at our approach, and
we find no enemy to combat. These people must have gone
some where, and it cannot be presumed that their intentions are
favourable to us ; so that if these statements may be relied on,
the words of the Spanish Minister may be realised—' that the
war will not really begin till the French are at Madrid.'

" We have now learnt the dextrous contrivance employed
by the Governor of Jaca to make his submission to the ROyal
Junta, and not to be opposed by the greater part of the troops
under him who were not disposed to join him in his desertion
of his party. In concert with the monks, fig ordered a review
of part of the troops, and made all those who were of the Con-
stitutional party march out upon the glacis; he then ordered
the gate to be immediately closed, and so remained in the
place with his partizans.
" A great number of horses for the artillery have arrived
here, and mules for the baggage continue also to pass through,
but the number required is so very great that we are far from
being able seriously to commence the sieges of St. Sebastian
and Pampeluna. Ten waggons heavily loaded with money,
arrived here yesterday for the use of the army. They are said
to contain twenty millions in ready money, which, if we may
depend on the calculation of persons who understand these
matters, will not suffice for the expences of one month.
" A person pretended to have seen the night before last, four
waggons pass through full of sick or wounded. The head-
quarters are to remain at Burgos till the 13th, and the army
is to advance to Madrid by the road of Valladolid and Lerma."

FOR THE SUN.

Mn. EDITOR—If you have not already admit-
ted in your Paper the following extract from a
late American Paper, perhaps you will now think
it worth insertion. You and your readers will
of course give what credit you may think fit, to
the liberality and freedom from prejudice or na-
tional lies, that may excite the 64 sneers" of the
" virtuous Republican." In the rest of what
he says, I think our feeling will agree with
his. I am, &c.

" LORD BYRON,

" Lord Byron, it is said, is coming to this country. We
are sorry for it. He will not be pleased with the United
States ; neither their climate nor their manners are sensualiz.
ed, as in Italy. He will find that his mind has travelled in
advance of this person, and withered the flowers that he hopes
for in his path. He will behold the pious recoiling from
apostate genius ; the beautiful sudilering at the profaner of
innocence ; and the virtuous republican sneering at the vices
of peerage. if he comes he will write of us ; America is a
poetical subject, at least as much so as Don Juan. Campbell
writes doggrel about us, and little Moore wrote slander. If
Lord Byron would praise us, the proper account to charge it
to would be, his disaffection to the Ministry. But if he should
abuse uti we ought not to complain • * *" •

with sundry' passengers, who appear to have
quitted that place in great haste, in consequence
of. a sudden attack made on the 15th and 16th
inst. by about 8000 French. The result is not
known, though it appears, from what our Clerk
has been able to collect, that no apprehensions
are entertained as to its fate.—lt is said that in
this attack 7 or 800 French fell ; that the loss on
the part of the Spaniards was comparatively tri-
fling—the number not stated—butthat five or six
Officers have been wounded, and one
killed ; that Sir R. WILSQN bad been %wounded
in his thigh,and Colonel LIGHT (one of his Aides-
de-Camp) severely wounded. Our Clerk made
particular inquiries as to any dispatches, letters,
or official communications, for his Excellency the
Ambassador, or Consul-General, but was told
that she had not brought any."

STORM AT BER,MVDA.

Irrote a Ilermuda Paper of Me 4th Wt.]
A gale of wind of uncommon violence, aCCOM., partied with an immense quantity of rain, was ex-
perienced in these islands on Saturday night and
Sunday morning last ; and we are sorry to say a
great deal of damage has been done all over tho
country, by the unroofing of houses, the destruc-
tion of walls and fences, the prostration of trees
that had been reared some for fruit and others for
shade, and in the injury done to cultivated gar-
dens and vegetation generally. Among those whose
houses have been partially or wholly unstated,
and otherwise injured, we are exceedingly sorry
to hear that there are many poor persons, to
whom this is a very heavy calamity, because of
their inability to repair the damage their humble
tenements may have sustained : these call parti-
cularly for the sympathy and assistance of tlvele
more fortunate friends and neighbours. The
commencement of the storm was from east-
south-east, from which point the wind chopped
round in the latter part of the night to about
the west, and blew with unabated violence
till morning. The rain set in again heavily the
following night, and continued, but with partial
intermissions, for three days. In Hamilton and
its immediate vicinity, the damage has not been
so great as in most other parts of the country,
and particularly along the whole extent of the
south side, where the exposure WAS greater. In
St George's, the wooden barracks, at the totforts of the parade-ground, were blown quite dowel,
and partly into the sea ; Mr. Davenport!"
wharf (formerly Trott's) was run foul of by the
schooner Cleopatra, of Nova Scotia, and broken
entirely down; the schooner ran high and dry ashore
at Phelan's Bay, below the Barrack-hill, and has
to discharge her cargo before she can be got oft'.
Banks's wharf is also destroyed, and the whole
range of wharfs in front of the town are more or
less Injured ; several boats were sunk, and two or
three were dashed to pieces. The whole viranda
of the house of !qr. Taylor (post-master), on the
declivity of the signal-hill,Fort George,was raised,
blown over the house, and conveyed a considerable
distance up the hill The roof of the same
house, as well its the roofs of others, are much
damaged ; walls and trees are prostrated in every
direction ; and among the latter are that fine one
at' the north-west corner of the Town-hall, and
the one in front of the store of John I. Tucker,
Esq. This is the only serious gale that has been
experienced here since the year 1818.

SOLEM OVIS DiCERE F.ALSUAI AUDSAT ?

LONDON,
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1823.

if a letter from Brest, which has appeared in
the Gazette de France,is to be credited, it would
appear that the French Government is taking
measures for reducing the number and comple-
ments of the ships of war at present in commis-
sion, The letter states, that the Minister of
Marine, " in ordering the dismissal of the crews
of many of his Majesty's ships which are to be
disarmed, has decided the first dismissals shall
be in favour of married men who have
families, &c.&c." The same letter also Mates that
the new levies of seamen which had been ordered
for the maintenance, and even for the augmenta•
tion of the naval armaments, have been counter-
manded. These proceedings, if (as we have al,
ready premised) they have actually taken place,
are all very well, and are stronger indications
of a pacific disposition on the part of France,
than a thousand professions of disinterested-

ness and moderation. But it is impossible to
be too cautious and distrustful in vigilantly
watching the actual movements of the wily
statesmen of the French Cabinet ; and it is
very far from being impossible but that the
Brest letter, so unostentatiously inserted in the
Gazette de France, is nothing more than a ruse,
ingeniously calculated to lull suspicion. The
Gibraltar Chronicle of the 30th October contains
a paragraph of a very ditrerent kind, and which
deserves at the present moment serious cousidera.
tion and inquiry, viz. that between three and
four thousand French troops had embarked from
Cadiz, in the night, on board of transports and
men of war, and that their destination was un-
known.

In addition to the naval preparations, which
have been for some time making on the part of
this country, we understand that two more ships
of the line have been ordered to be fitted out
forthwith.

We have reason to believe that certain parties
in France have resolved on employing every ar-
tifice for the purpose of sowing jealousies and
suspicions between the Government of Great

Britain and those of Austria and Russia, and, if
possible, either involving them in a war,
or at least producing such a degree of
estrangement and distrust as may have the effect
of distracting the attention of England from the
ambitious projects of France, and of diminish-
ng the vigour of her resistance to the aggrandiz-
ing policy of the latter power. The system of
fabricating false intelligence, and misrepresenta-
tions of every kind, and of effecting their circu-
lation through unsuspected channels, and even
of causing the appearance of the falsehoods
having originated in quarters whence truth alone
could be expected to proceed, has been brought
to such perfection, and is employed with so much
assiduity, that it is more than ever necessary
for this country to beware of covert hostility,
to take counsel only from herself, and to guide
her policy by the principles of her own Constitu-
tion, and by her own well understood interests.

INFORMATION TO MASTERS OF VESSELS TRAD.
IRO TO PENOA.
Extract of a letter from the agent: to Lloyd's at Genoa, dated
Nov. O.
" With reference to our letter of the 26th ult., we have now
to acquaint you, that the platform, or hulk, which Ives sunk
at the distance of three hundred French feet from the extremity
of the old Mole, or Eastern Pier, and upon which men were
working day and night, in order to fill it up with bricks and
stones, cemented with porrolena, a sarong gale from the south
came on, with a rough sea, on the 31sttlt., and destroyed all
the hulk, which was not filled up, so that there remains at present
but 10 feet water on the most shoal part of the platform. The
work cannot be re-commenced till the next spring; in the mean. while, Government has ordered a pontoon to he got ready,
which is to be moored with chains, close to the spot where the
platform is sunk, and to have a light hoisted as a warning to
navigators. We are apprehensive that in very rough weather
the vessel will not be able to keep her Station, and we therefore
advise mestere of vessehil on entering this port, to keep te.
wards the middle or left aide of it, to avoid getting foul of the
hulk, which lies precisely in the direction as described in our
lust--viz. its head at S.S.W., and the stern at N.N.E."'

BANKRUPTCY OF THOMAS THURTELL.

At a meeting of the Commissioners in the case of the above
bankrupt, which took place yesterday in Quality-court, Chan-
cery-lane—Mr. Steadman, proprietor of the house, No. 4,
Cumberland-street, New-road, in which some ,furniture was
deposited, supposed by John Thurtell and Hunt, in the name of
Brown, and which the Com Missioners now claim as belonging
to the bankrupt, underwent is long examination, anti several
threats were held out to him of committal to prison, unless he
' immediately gave admittance to 'the Messenger of the Com-
mission or surrendered up the property in his possession.
Mr. Steadman positively refused to do either one or the other
until they gave hint sufficient proof that the furniture did belong
to Thomas Thurtell, and an indemnity against any future claim
from any other party, for instance the Crown, or perhaps the
very persons who left the property in his care under the name
of Brown.
-- Ballard, an officer of Marlborough-street,who resides in
the next house to Mr. Steadman, was also stictly examined as
to his having given any advice to resist the interference of the
Commissioners: but there appeared to be no ground whatever
for such suspicion ; and in the end both were discharged without
any step being taken against Mr. Steadman, as was threatened,
who when he got home found that Burly, a man, who by stra-
tagem got into the house on Tuesday, on the part of the Com -
missioners ; and who had been ever since locked up. in the pas-
, sage, being regularly starved out of perseverance, called out for
mercy, and had been suffered to depart from the house severe
pounds lighter in weight than when he entered it.

The. following ^Gentlemen were yesterday
called to the Degree of 'Barrister-at-Law by the Honourable So-
ciety of Lincoln's Inn :—John Sitncoe Saunders, Esq.; Wm.
Wildest, Esq. ; Bennett foaling, Esq. ; Alfred Stephen, Esq.;
Stephen Williams. Esq. ; Theodore Dickens, Esq. ; and James

broke out in the stack-yard of Mr. J. CARTER,
at Shudy Camps, hi this county, by which several

some incendiary.—(Saffak raper.)
