SMITHFIELP MARKET, AUGUST 25.
The quantity or Cattle at market this morning was.no sa
great as on former Mondays, yet the supply was fully nadir
t
for the demand. Owing to the state of the weather the butchers
do not like to .speculate, and the markft was rather heavy,
although a lower pike was asked for Oxtn.

[THE TIMES.]
Some time ago the Quotidlenne, and other Paris
Journals of the same class, asserted that 51
Royalists, who were put on board a vessel in
Corunna harbour to be conveyed to some other
Spanish port, had been murdered and thrown
overboard. We find the same statement in the
Madrid Gazette of the 14th instant, which we re•
ceived yesterday. It appears under the head of
" Ferrol, Aug. 5," and though the story seems
in some respects as inconsistent as extraordinary,
we think it our duty to notice it, leaving our
readers to determine the degree of credit to
which its own internal evidence, and the preju-
dicial channel through which it comes, may en-
title it. The C hmette says—" The sea having
cast on shore on the beach of Los Pelamios,
within the walls of Corunna, the dead bodies of
a military person and a priest, tied back to back,
and wounded with a sabre, it has been discovered
that they are the bodies of two of the prisoners who
were confined in the castle of St. Anton. - These
unfortunate men were, along with many others,
removed from the prison, and shipped on board
of a Sevillian vessel, in pursuance of orders
given by General Quiroga some hours before the
Right of that perverse Liberal. I;he people
:were given to understand that this-measure was
adopted for the purpose of removing the pri-
soners to a place of greater security, but the ap-
pearance of the two dead bodies soon convinced
them that they had been deceived. In conse-
quence of this, unexpected occurrence, General
`Novella immediately ordered that the most
rigorous investigation should be instituted in order
to ascertain the facts of this atrocious case; and
from w hat has as yet been done,it results that all the
prisonerswere barbarously assassinated and thrown
into the sea." The Gazette then gives the names
and professions of, the prisoners. The offences
or charges, in consequence of which they had
been committed, are in general omitted ; but
that they were not all confined on political
grounds is pretty evident from one circumstance,
namely, that eight of these worthy Royalists are
described in the list as thieves. There is besides
among the professions no priest or friar men-
tioned, unless some such be included among the
thieves, and this is not impossible. The Trappist
himself knows that there is no incompatibility
between Ultra-Royalism, and robbery. It will,
perhaps, be found that the whole of this story
has been fabricated in consequence of two dead
bodies having been cast on shore ; but if any in-
quirks have been instituted, an official account
of the examinations should be published by Ge-
neral Novella.

[MORNING cnnoNter,E.]
The Municipality of Bilboa have addressed a
formal Memorial to the Madrid Regency, pioubly
praying this shadow of power to re-establish
forthwith the Inquisition, which, according to
them, is one of the greatest blessings of which a
-country can boast. In justice, we must here re-
mark that the present is not a Constitutional Mu-
nicipality duly elected by the Inhabitants, the
leading men of the place having fled from the
town when the French first advanced and subse-
quently, but a pack of fools and fanatics put into
office to serve the purposes of a servile party. It
is understood that the Regency are indirectly
soliciting Memorials of the same description
from all the towns over which they have
authority or influence, instigated, no doubt,
by the ex-inquisitors themselves, who are
anxious to recover their old property and
incomes, which, by the bye, were the first
portion of the national property disposed of in
favour of the public creditors. This policy on
the part of the Regency shews that it is their
"wish -to plunge Spain into the state of despotism
and degration in which the country was placed
previous to the Inte Revolution. These, are the
benefits the Duke d'Angouleme brings with him,
in. return for the aid the Boutbon cause derived
from the obstinate , resistance of Spain during the
last war against Napoleon ! Such is the grati-
tude of Louis X VIII !

[NEW 'MMES.]
We have received private letters from Naples
to the sth instant. They furnish a satisfactory
refutation of the absurd report that the Emperor
of Austtia meant to detain the King of Naples
at Vienna, reducing the Kingdom of Naples in
effect to the estate of an Austrian Province. Our
Correspondent informs us that the King was
hourly expected in the bay, his Majesty having
sailed on the 3d from Leghorn with that
destination. His faithful subjects anxiously
looked for the good old Monarch's return,
as he has always been extremely popular,
especially with the lower classes, to whom
he chews the, most affable regard and at-
tendons. illuminations and other tokens of
public joy were in busy preparation.—Persons
-whose situation affords them good means of
knowing the political intentions of his Majesty,
assert that his arrival will be followed by several
important changes in the administration of affairs.
Gen. the Marquis Mayo, who, since the rebellion,l
has enjoyed a large share of his Majesty's, confi-
dence, Insomuch that he ruled in two provinces
vial full powers as the King's alter ego, appears
of late to have incurred the royal displeasure
and is already suspended from ids office
A similar fate, it is said, awaits the Duke
of Sangro, who will be removed (as a sort of
honourable exile) to Sicilly. The Duke of
Miranda is spoken of to have the places and
honours of the late Duke of Ascoli, General
Nunziante to be Minister of War. General
Fardella to be Inspector of the Royal Guards,
and General Church (who acted so conspious
and honourable a part during the rebellion) to
be Inspector-General of the troops of the line.—
The weather has been bad at Naples. During a
dreadful tempest which occurred at that city on
the 30th, the Royal Palace was struck early in
the morning by lightning. The destructive fluid
penetrated to the Sala del Tram), and greatly hi-
jured that splendid apartment; but this, with a

large fracture through the roof and ceilings, is
the only damage which the building has sus-

tained.

[MORNING POST.]
French Papers to the 23d inst. reached us last
night by Express. They contain intelligence
which, if official, would be decisive but though
given by the Journal des Debuts, it4eems to par-
take more of the nature of the late premature
communication from Bayonne than of that of an
authentic Dispatch. The facts which it states
may possibly happen, but as yet we are convinced
they are only anticipations, especially the alleged
self-dissolution of the Cortes. It is remarkable
that in their eagerness to swell the number
of the submissions said to have been received
by the Duke of Angouleme; the authors of the
correspondence bring out to the light generals
and armies who had hitherto been most carefully
kept from public view, or whose very existence,
when asserted by the Friends of Spain, had been
most stoutly denied. This is another instance
of that total disregard of truth which the French
accounts display, and which is proved by their
numberless and shameless contradictions. These
Papers have also brought us an official Bul-
letin from Moncey, giving the details of two
affairs which took place in Catalonia with the
Constitutionalists on the 14th and 16th instant.
It is evident from the Marshal's own state-
ments that on both occasions the best fighting
was on the side of justice and patriotism, and
that if Milans and Llobera changed their posi-
tions, it was not to fly, but to carry into effect
the plan for which they originally set out, that
of approaching the frontier and relieving the Seu.
Had the enemy succeeded in their attacks that
plan must have been abandoned ; its execution
being continud is therefore a fair criterion of the
real results of the engagements. Indeed with
respect to the first, no doubt can be enter-
tained, for it is admitted that the Con-
stitutionalist cavalry threw the Spanish Royalists
into disorder, that the French only " chcked the
enemy," and that Milans after quitting the bridge
of Cabriana, where the action began, took up a
strong position at Caldes and 46 defended it with
obstinacy." In other words, the Constitu-
tionalists who were attacked, became the assail-
ants in their turn, defeated the force opposed to
them, and when superior numbers arrived, retir-
ed to a strong position) and repelled every effort
to drive them from it.
