granted by an Act passed in the last Session to the Civil Offi-
cers of the African Corps, did not form part of the estimates
of thiS year.
31r. ‘VILMOT—The scale of. remuneration to these officers
was decided'upon, and they were intended to be laid before the
House in the estimates for the present year;but the omission of
some official farm rendered that impossible.

[FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE.I

PARIS, MARbit 17'--The Dude d'Angoureme
arrived at Orleans on Saturday evening. The
National Guard, on foot and on horseback, as
well as all the garrison, were under arms to re-
ceive him. The Prince alighted at the Hotel
de la Prefecture, where preparations had been
made, to receive him. lie departed on the follow-
ing morning after bearing mass in the Chapel of
the Prefecture.

Reports have beep spread by the most detest-
able malice that the War Department had
neglected to take proper measures to provide sup-
ples for the army of the Pyrenees.
To put.an end to such wicked assertions, we
are authorised to declare that every thing is pro-
vided for the consumption of this army, not only
while it remains in the French territory, but for
a part of the campaign it may be called on to
make.

This formal denial has appeared necessary,
less to impose silence on the ill-disposed whose
intrigues are known, than to take away from the
friends of the Throne every uneasiness.
No news has yet arrived from Madrid. From
every thing which has been said, however, it is
evident that the parties are in open contention,
and that the Cortes desire to carry away the
King before the approach of the French puts the
capital into fermentation. The more the danger
increases, the more .this frightened population
feels the necessity of being protected by the pre-
sence of the King. The alarms even which have
been excited relative to the war must contribute
to strengthen their opinion on this subject ; for
the Cortes in carrying away all the ornaments
of the church, under the pretext that they would
be liable to pillage, must have alarmed all the
people, who could not think their houses secure
when they were told their temples were likely to
be pillaged. There is another reason why they
.`should desire that the King should remain at
Madrid as a Palladium.
FllOll TUE DUAPEAU BLAXE.I
Pints, Ron 16.--'Tie Conslitutionnel which
delights in creating phantoms in whatever relates
to war with Spain, invents a correspondence from
Bayonne, according to which the construction of
a bridge over the Bidassoa presents the greatest
difficulties, requiring a month for the under-
taking, which would lead to the belief that hos-
tilities will not be so prompt as is presumed. We
must inform the Constitutionnel that there exists
at the pass of Behobie a very solid wooden
bridge, constructed in 1796. Supposing even,
which is very probable, that the Spaniards
should burn this bridge on the approach of the
French army, we must next inform the Constitu-
. tionnel that the Bidassoa is not the fourth part of
the breadth of the Seine at Paris, and that at low
tides even, by crossing the Esle of Pheasants very
near the mouth, artillery may pass the river with-
out the trains being in water beyond the middle
of the wheels.
There is another geographical particularity—
: the navigation of the Bidassoa, on account of its
shallowness) is so
,easy) that in order, to drag

barges, oxen are used, who wall: in the middle of
the river.
The arsenal and powder magazine at Toulon
was set on fire in several places. It was per-
ceived in time to prevent the infernal hopes of
the tricolor incendiaries from being realized.—
The guilty emissaries of the descamisados wished
to prevent, by this means, the whole of the ma-
ritime armament against the brigands of Spain.

NATIONAL GUARD OF ROUEN.
ORDER OF THE DAY.

" The Colonel of the National Guard of the city of Rouen
has seen with pain, in one of the opposition Journals, a letter
which is ascribed to the sub-officers and chasseurs of the 3d
battalion of thelegion which he commands. He does not doubt
but that this letter has been invented by the agents of mischief
and calumny. In order, however, to caution the National
Guard against the intrigues of the enemies of public repose,
andthat they may avoid exposing themselves to judicial pro-
ceedings, he- thinks it right to remind them that the Royal
Ordinance of July 17, 1816, forbids the different corps of the
National Guard to correspond with one another on any pre-
text whatever.

" The Colonel is persuaded that the officers, sub-officers,
and privates of the legion who daily assist in preserving tran-
quillity in this great city will protest against the calumnies
which have been propagated to injure them, and redouble their
love and devotion to the King, the founder of our institutions,
and for his august family."

(FROM THE COXSTITUTJONNEL.)
PA RIS, MAitcu 16.—The Journal de Rouen,
the Nacelle, announces" that a subscription at
ten centimes each individual, has been opened in
that city, with a view to offer to M. Mercier a
musket ornamented with silver. We know from
good authority that this subscription, which
opened on the 14th in the morning, mowed in
the evening to nearly 600 subscriptions. Many
persons offered more than 10 centimes, but no-
thing beyond that sun) would be received. The
list of subscribers Avill be published, and the
gifts of those who, wish to remain anonymous are
erfused."

BAYONNE, AlAuer' 6.—At eight o'clock in the morning
yesterday a Cabinet courier, of the name of Antonio Martinez,
arrived here from Madrid, which he left on Ist arch, in the
evening. He is going to London to negociate, on any condi-
tions, a loan for Spain.
It appears that the Constitutionalists are determined not to
oppose any resistance to-the advance of the army to the Ebro.
Torrijos, with his troops, has quitted Navarre, directing his
march towards Madrid, as we learn by reports from that pro-

ST IT TGARD, MARCH 10.—Letters from the North announce,
that since his return to Petersburgh, the. Count de Nesseirode
has had several important conferences with Sir Charles Ragot,
Minister of England in Russia—conferences which took place
in consequence of a Note presented in the name of the Eng-
lish Cabinet. The contents of the Note were not known, but
the rumour was generally spread that it related to the affairs
of Spain and Portugal. It appears that Sir Charles llagot had
received very precise instructions on the part of his Court.
PnaPloNss, Mancir o.—Yesterday arrived here, that, a
detachment of the &l regiment of horse artillery, to complete
the second company, which was cantoned at Elne • secondly, the
fourth squadron of the train of artillery, with 56carria,,es and
400 horse.

SPAIN.
MAntun, MAUCH 9.—The officers of the firs
regiment of marine infantry have addressed ai
energetic representation to the Government, stat
ing their ardent desire to be allowed to assist in
carrying into effect the decree for removing his
Majesty's person and Government to a place of
security.
Ills Majesty, wishing by all means to manifest
to Europe the ideas and sentiments which animate
him, has resolved that the regiment which has
hitherto been called the Imperial Alexander,
shall in future be named the Regiment 'of the
Union. The brave men who compose this Regi-
ment, and who have shown so decided an attach-
ment to the cause of liberty, will with pleasure
relinquish a title of which they might at another
time have been proud, but the retaining which
now would be a real political inconsistency.—
( Universal.)
On the 28th ult., at seven in the morning,Coi.
Asturias Mancha, with another officer, proceeded
to Mequinenza to treat with Adan Truxillo for
the surrender of that fortress. The garrison sent
out three of their officers to our camp as hostages.
The fall of the Seo d'Urgel, and other defeats of
the Army of the Faith, are said to have deter-
mined the garrison to treat of a surrender.—
( especiaeor.)
Several dispatches from Abisbal detail the
complete destruction of the insurgent bands that
had approached Madrid. It appears that several
of the leaders are negociating for the amnesty.—
The Political Chief of Guadalaxara sends a dis.
patch, dated the 7th, in which he states that the
Constitutional troops under Don J. Dominguez
had, at Trillu, fallen in with a band of factious,
500 in number, commanded by Bessieres in person,
which he defeated, making a great part of them
prisoners. Bessieres escaped with only 30 men.
A. letter from Lisbon, dated the Ist instant,
states that an intrigue had been undertaken
there which appeared to be sufficiently strong to
subvert the Ministry. The Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs obtained an honourable pre-
ference in this plan of proscription, %thick 'was
supported by some good patriots, who had
fallen into the snares of the Holy Alliance. A
list for a new Ministry was brought to the King,
but he firmly rejected it. The change of the
Ministry was intended to be the first act in the,
counter-revolutionary drama. The Conde de
Amarante has since raised the standard of re-
bellion ; but the troops under General Rego are
full of zeal for the Constitution, and the affair
will soon be put down.
The Serviles, who have for these three years
past been threatening us with the French and
Russians, have suddenlT changed their tactics,
and now speak of nothing else but peace. As
this report is very agreeable, many inconsiderate
persons pick it up and repeat it with compla-
cency, without adverting that its propagators
never wished for war more than they now do,
and also that they never more than now wished
to lull us into a false security, because they
never before saw us so active.

CORTES—A

The Deputation charged to wait upon his Majesty with the
answer of the Cortes to his speech on the opening of the Ses-
sion, proceeded to present the said answer. It is in the fol-
lowing terms I

" Sire—The great and noble sentiments which your Ma-
jesty has manifested to the Cortes, on the opening of the or-

august person of your Majesty, but that degree of confidence
and security which is necessary again to encounter dangers,

TILE MATE DR. M'NAB.

• Having recently noticed the death of this Gen-
tleman,
we shall afford, a soothing gratification to
..,
. hisAumerous friends in presenting to them the
following tribute to his character, which appeared
-, -in The illimileur :
't It-is our painful task to record the death of
one of the most distinguished men in Europe for
the character acid strength of his mind,. and for
I his ardent zeal in the cause of civilization. Ilk
death is a great loss to the sciences, particularly
to that of EduCation, and will be severely felt
, . by.his numerous friends, and by his only and af-
,;:: Meted daughtet, shoot he tenderly loved.
1: " Dr. HENRY GitiiY- M'NAU died at eleven
i o'clock in the morning of tile 3d of February, at
the age of ti years Ile was buried in the Ci-
i metiere de !'Est at Paris : a great number of
; his friends attended his funeral, and after the
It accustomed prayers of the English Burial Service
had been read, M. LA FFO* de LA DEBAT delivered
an oration, in the recital of which he was evi-
dently oppressed by the deepest sorrow. We
extract a few interesting passages :.
" Gentlemen, said M. Laffon de Laddhat,. Dr. 'AP:Cab was
born in England of a Scottish family, distinguished fur its'an-
tiqeity; its honour,- its loyalty, and patriarchal manners, and
Was the pupil and the friend of Dr. Reid. ,
.4 Endowed with powerful talents and with an ardent and
• benevolent mind, every study which promoted the improve-
;
meat and the happiness of the human race occupied his
thoughts and animated his exertions.
" Detained eleved years in France as an English hostage, un-
der Buonaparte, lie obtained permission to reside at Montpel-
lier, and dedicated the whole of that period to extend his know.
ledge in the Art of Surgery, and in the sciences of Education,
1
,
and-of Political Economy, during which interval he rendered
~ many essential services to the town, of Montpellier. Indeed,
wherever his talents and his powers of doing good could • be'
exerted, he forgot that he was a stranger.
" Whilst engaged in these occupations, and in superintending
, • the studies of an only and beloved daughter, he published seve-
ral works on various branches of education, and communicated
• to different members of the English Parliament some import.
antobservations on the -Bill brought into the House of Com-
- • mons by Mr. Brougham on Public Education.
" The late Duke ot.Kent appointed him his domestic phy-
, sician, and,he enjqed the confidence of this Prince, so deeply
:.. . regretted by all Englishmen.
" Dr. M'Nab was Preparing a large work which was to treat
, •.; on 'every branch of Education. Reason, that sacred gift he-
',. stowed on mass by the Creator of the Universe, enlighten-
ed ,by religion, was the basis of his plan. His system point-
ed• out the mode of education from the . first sensations of
infancy to the successive developemeat of the various kinds

.ft." We had the pleasure of knowing the late Dr. 11,1'N'An
many years, and can fully confirm the truth of the preceding
tribute to his memory. Ile was connected with the chief lite.
racy characters in this country and on the continent. lie was
the intimate friend of the late Professor RICHARDSON, of
Glasgow, to whom the Public are indebted for the philosophi.
cal. analysis of some of the chief characters of SLIAKSPEARE,
as well of as many other works of learning and genius. The
late Duke of KENT was much attached to Dr. 11PNAB, and
took a warm interest in his concerns. The Doctor was, indeed,
so amiable, communicative, and intelligent, that all who knew
Min must deeply regret the loss of so worthy and accomplished
a character. Ile has left an amiable daughter, whose situation
forcibly demands the protection of friendship. The Doctor
had claims upon the French Government of the most interest-
ing description, which, we hope, will speedily be settled on prin-
ciples of justice as well as from motives of humanity.—(EDlTOß

M. MANUEL'S SPEECH.

141
Or
a

The conclusion of M. MANUEL'S speech an
the' warbetweei. France and Spain, which he was prevented from
delivering by the interruption of the right side, and his expui-
*ion from the Chamber of Deputies,has appeared in some of the
Paris Journals. It may be recollected, that 111. Manuel,
. inaliscussing the principle of intervention, argued that the ex-
ample of England, which had been referred to, was not in point,
ItS England did not declare war, and had always maintain-
ed that she only repelled the attack of France. Passing from
the 'principle to its application, he shewed that the constitution
of the Cortes„ which had been approved by all the Powers, did
nat present the dangers attributed to it, and that, were thosel
dangersir. real, going to war was not the way to prevent them.
Finally, taking into consideration the perils to which the Royal
Family of Spain may be,exposed, M. Manuel attributed to
fo-
reign invasion and the irritation which was its consequence, the
catastrophe of the 21st of January, which had occurred in France.
—.(Here he was interrupted.)— We cannot insert all the ob-
, aervations he afterwards intended to deliver, but we shall make
room for the passage which immediately succeeded the inter-
ruption
6' If such was the result of the armed intervention of Prussia
and Austria in France, who can assure us that our intervention
InSpain will not cause similar misfortunes, instead of preventing
them ? Is this intervention better justified by the supposition that
It is necessary to prevent Spain from detaching herself from our
alliance, and thereby compelling us to employ in future a 'portion
of Our military force to defend the Pyrenees ? Is the Minister
tk*ions in inferring that the Constitution of Spain must neces-
ilY produce this effect? Have not we also a Constitutional
.A.__—"vernment ? And is it to be supposed, that for the sake of
4ance with absolute Governments, Spain would renounce our
nulan, "land the advantages which result to it from both countries?
" tile Minister exclaimed—' Experience has informed us,
b....1'40°4A what countries the armies passed which. invaded our
C".,..t°Tk• Did they not come by the way of Switzerland and
t lir"? Doubtless it was from the frontiers of Spain that, in
the English penetrated into our sonthern provinces ; but
lv„..'whateause wag that event attributable ? Was it not, as the
Zrilster has himself well observed, to the insane war which emintltda on the Spaniards ?"

SUN OFFICE, Two o'CLocK.

We are enabled to state, on the highest au

thority, that accounts have been received from
Madrid of the 10th instant, which state that
the Ministers have appropriated to the public

service, in the present emergency, the
Cassa de Credito Publico, a sort of Sinking
Fund. This occurrence had of course caused a

great sensation at Madrid. The Ministry had

some time since proposed to appropriate this
Fund to the public service, but the proposition
had then been nobly resisted by the Cortes.
Government have received Despatches from
Madrid of the same date.

The Drapeau Blanc, Paris Paper, repeats the
allegation that the arsenal and powder magazine
at Tonlon had been set on fire in several places

by: incendiaries, with the view of preventing the
completion of a maritime armament intended to
act against the Spaniards. From an ()trier of
the Day, issued .by the Colonel of the National
Guard of ROUEN, it appears that his corps has
been corresponding with some other Legion of
the National Guard on the affair of M. MANUEL,
and in a way which renders questionable 44 their
love and devotion to the lipro-and his august
Family." At Rouen there has also been opened
a subscription for presenting the patriotic Serjeant
MERCIER. with a fusil. The subscription was
limited to ten centimes each ; and six hundred
persons had come forward on the first day to
join in offering MERCIER the proposed pledge of
their sentiments. The Duke d'ArroourAms ar-
rived at Orleans on Saturday night, and con-
tinued his journey on the following day.
does not appear that any " lively sensations"
were excited by the progress of the Prince on
his ill.omened expedition.

The news from Madrid confirms the total de-
struction of 13EssimtE's corps by the Constitu-
tional forces, and brings the gratifying information
that the insurgent garrison of Mequinenza has
offered to capitulate. The Cortes continues to
adopt the necessary measures for effeating the
removal of the Government to*Seville, and the
boldest and most determined spirit of patriotism
seems to animate not only that body and the
Ministry, but the population of Madrid, not-
withstandibg the calamities to which the latter
see themselves about to be subjected by the mili-
tary occupation of their City by the French. The
enemies of Spain have flattered themselves with
the hope that the inhabitants of Madrid would
oppose the departure of the KING:; but so far
are they from betraying any disposition to coun-
teract a measure, which, though naturally alarm-
ing to the capital, is deemed necessary for the
national interests and security, that the Madrid
Volunteer Militia are themselves to accompany
the KING OH his route. The reply of the Cortes
to the KING'S Speech on the opening of the Ses-
sion is every way worthy of the dignified pa-
triotism and firmness with which the whole of its
legislative labours has.been so eminently distin-
guished. The Madrid Papers state that simul-
taneously with the rebellion of the Conde de
AstAnANTL in Portugal, an intrigue had been
undertaken at Lisbon to subvert the Ministry,
but which had been frustrated by the good
faith and penetration of the Portuguese Monarch.
The revolt of AMARANTE was. considered as an
unimportant affair, which would soon be termi-
nated by the zeal and fidelity of the troops under
General Rtoo, who, with then-Commander, are
warmly attached to the Constitution.

The article from Stutgard, of March 10, which
states that Sir CHARLES BAGOT the English
Minister at Saint Petersburg!►, had several
important conferences with Prince NESSEL•
RODE, and had, after receiving " very precise
instructions from his Court," presented a Note
which was said to relate to the affairs of Spain
and Portugal, when viewed in connection with
the alleged change of our policy at Constanti-
nople, gives rise to many interesting and im-
portant conjectures.

" STOCKHOLIK,MARCII4.—The Official Report
of the Commissioners of the revision of the
National Debt is now published, from which it
appears that on the Ist of January, 1823, the
amount of the Debt was 9,491,698 Rix dollars
Banco; deduct 3,328,146 Rix dollars, from
claims and outstanding debts ; remain 6,163,462.

" They write from Hamburgh, that three Mer.

In the Rouse of Lords, last night, the Earl of
LIVERPOOL) in reply to a question from the Mar.
quis of LANSDOWS) stated, that though the pros.

pect of effecting an amicable arrangement be-
tween France and Spain had been greatly dimi-
nished, yet that all hope of preserving peace was
not yet absolutely destroyed, The Noble Earl,
therefore, objected to the production of papers
connected with the important negociations in
which the Government has been engaged, until
•40me event shall happen, to put the fact of a
state of war beyond all doubt. His Lordship,
however, at the same time said, that his hopes of
preserving peace were so far abated, that he
thought it probable that it will become his
duty, before the House adjourns for the recess,
to name a day on which he shall lay the Papers
before the House, and give 'an explanation of
what has been the policy pursued by Ministers
on the subjects to which they refer.
In making the foregoidg statement, it is deserv-
ing of remark, that the Earl of LIVERPOOL gave
no intimation of the intention of Government to
remain neutral during the French and Spanish
war, if it should actually break out. It will be in
the recollection of the Public, that on the opening
of the Session of Parliament, the Noble Earl an-
nounced that the country was in a condition to
undertake a war, if the course of events on the
continent should require it,—and he even em-
phatically added, " If a war is called fin• by the
voice of the people, the country is in a condition to
meet it !" Such a call, on the part of the people,
therefore, we have the authority of the Earl
of LivEaroor. for saying, would have formed a
" specific ground," on which Ministers might have
thought themselves justifiable in resorting to
arms for the defence of Spain. But there has
not been any general expression of the Public
Opinion, which would warrant the inference
that the British Nation not only views the
aggression of France with abhorrence, but is
desirous of encountering the evils and sacrifices
of war in order to resist its progress. On the
contrary, the very men who are now the loudest
in condemning the cautious policy of the English
Cabinet, took especial care to avoid committing
themselves so far as to recommend that we
should embark in hostilities with France. Many
of the Members of Opposition have openly de-
precated the idea of our entering into the con-
test, and even some of the Opposition Journals
have damped the ardour of the Public mind, by
representing as very questionable the policy of
our rushing into the war. We believe we may
venture to say that Tire Styx has gone further
than any other Paper, in the boldness and spirit
with which it has advocated the cause of Spain.
Even at the public dinner which was given in the
City to the Duke of SAN LORENZ°, no call was
made upon Government to pledge the power
and the resources of England to the support of
the Spaniards,—no resolutions were entered
into expressive of a desire that the country
should assume any other than it neutral tads
tude ;—but the Meeting contented itself with
the expression of its abhorrence of the injustice
of France, and of its sympathy with the cala-
mities about to be entailed upon Spain,—an
expression which was indeed worthy of the
British nation, and honourable to its cha-
racter, but which, especially after the direct
manner in which Lord LIVERPOOL had solicited
the expression of the public voice on the question of
our engaging in the war, every man of sense must
perceive amounted to nothing, if it was to be re.
garded as an indication of the public feeling on
the great problem of our ulterior policy with re-
gard to Spain.—This is one "specOe ground" for
our departing from neutrality, which has been
clearly withheld by the Public itself ; and the
unreasonableness of abusing Ministers for the
caution with which they still hesitate to take a
final resolution for war, is therefore apparent.

DEATIL OF GENERAL. DUMOURIEZ.—Died on
Friday last, the 14th instant, at Turville-park,
near Henley-upon-Thames, in his 85th year, the
celebrated General DUMOURTEZ. This most ex-
traordinary man stood at one period of his life
on the very pinnacle of triumphant glory. ills
feats as a warrior make up the most splendid
pages of modern history ; his name was a charm
which gathered round it all the enthusiasm of
millions; but he died in exile, as ,if to contrast
the clamorous noise of popularity which accom-
panied his early career with the calm stillness of
solitude which surrounded his bed of death.—
Ills temper was singularly frank and generous ;
his affections warm and cordial ; his conversation
full of strength and spirit, diversified with a va-
riety of knowledge, and a remarkable discrimi-
nation of character. His memoirs, which will
ere long be published, will throw great light
upon the records of these our eventful days.—
(The Times.)
On Tuesday a courier arrived at the Foreign.
Office, Dowing-street, from Paris.

An additional number of Artificers of different
denominations have been put on at Deptfort
Dock-yard ; in consequence, Deptford assumes
an air of bustle, &c., which has not been seen for
some time.—(Maidslono Journal.)
The Duke of Bk:DFORD, we regret to state,
still continues very ill. His Grace had a restless
night on Tuesday.
