'INTELLIGENCE FROM SPAIN.
„ Xtra wry, J I, 12.—Letters from Cadiz state that the Gitti-
muneros have separated froin.the Masons. The decree of the
2341 has still farther increased the exultation of the Revalu-
lionlste.
A letter from Valencia Says, the soldiers of Ballasteros ar-
rive by troops of 100 and 150 ; they present themselves to the
Royalist General, Sempere, to be admitted under the Royal
standard.
The accounts from Cadiz are to.the 13th. At that period the
King, and the Rose Family were in good health.
It js beliestai that Cadiz will not hold out during the remains
der of this Month. Provisions are very dear, commerce is de:
ertrerl, and the people begin to murmur.
flier boats have stopped some boats laden with provisions,
wiliers would have paused under the light-house of Cadiz:, not.
withstanding the fire from our batteries. •
A letter from Grenada of the 2tl states, that Generals
Villa Camps, 'Zaps, Alontes, Balanzat, Placentia, &c.,
were in that city, with skeletons of reginientar they were ex-
hausting all their efforts in vain to organize an army.
General Ballasteros appears to wish to traverse the Sierra
de Rondo, in order to gain.Algesires, and to join the remnant
of the troops of Zayas and Villa Camps. Ballasteros hart no
more alien 2,000 inert, /Ayes 1,200, and Villa Camps 300.
Another Revolutionary General has 500 men encamped atSt.
Roque. A single French regiment would disperse all these
liniments, and become masters of the whole coast from
Gibraltar to St. Peter.
According to a letter from Luella of the sth, Villa Camps,
with 300 moll, Who compose his army, and Zara.; with 300
men and .201) horses, arrived on the 3:1 at A.nteqtrara, and took
this direction of Weems, but the inhabitants, in number up-
wards of 5,000,
,having taken up antis, they dared not conti.
one their march. • The next day 150 Royalist militia and
20 cavaliers from Castro del Rio, and 300 militia and 100
horse from Cordova,- entered Lucena ; the whole under the
conduct of a Frencti officer, to the great satisfaction of the in-
habltattts.
There ...re at Cordova -1,0411 deserters from the Constitu.
ileneral Iltnamont Is occupied at Seville with the forma-I
tion of several Spanish regiments. lie lit organising at the
same time two of infantry, one oreavery, and one of artillery.
A flotilla, consisting of a great number of light vessels, is
about to set !eat immediately tit join the squadron.
The hitter was reinforced on the 4th by the arrival of Cadiz
of the Trident of 74

remainder is under sail at the entrance of the.bity.
P.S. We this moment leaM officially that General Morillo,
at the head of 3,000 men, has joined the French division cow_
melded by General Merck.
There CClll3iti under the orders, of General Quirogii wilt s&
small number of k,xaltat 00 who are seeking refuge at Co.
rime or Ferrol. We know not whether they will be received.
•Certain Journals have not ceased to tell us that no Constitu.
tional General would detach himself •from the faction of the
tarries. Already, however, VA blithe', Caesuras, hilatitx, pro-
bably, at this moment, Saartield, and, lastly, the most cele-
brated amongst them, Morillo, have made their submission to
the King; and we know not what has kept hack Gen. Zayas,
and prevented him from following their example.
'SORIA, JULY' U.—Colonel Don Joseph Miralles has taken
from the Revolutionists ,the head of his unfortunate father in
tire most heroic menner. Ile had the courage to detach it

VIEN*Not, JULY s.—The public are now informed of the
conditions upon which the four banking houses of Baron de

Rothschild, the'Count tie Flies, Gaimuller and Co., and Arn-
stein and Meles have taken the loan of 30,090,000 florins of
Austria, or of 36,000,000 f., 24,000,000 on account of our Go-

PARIS, JULY 17.—The Journal tics Data: publishes with•
out accompanying it with-any reflection, an order of the Corti.
gedor of Madrid in these terms
" Haying been informed that the -sellers of provisions and
others. permit theinselves to sell 'to the French soldiery at a
much higher Price than they. sell to Spaniards, which is con.
trary to the respect due to our deliverets, I order as follows:
" EVery shop.keeper who shall dare to overcharge a French
soldier, shall be punished for the first offence by a fine of 20
ducats and the confiscation of his shop; in case of a second
offence he shall be punished with the utmost rigour.' "
Thus the Regency Of Madrid, which arrests the wives of
militia-men, and has resorted alternately to hostages and con-
fiscations, -crowns its labours by the creation of a maximum.—
The arbitrary system of the East alone has scarcely anything
comparable to this act, if the system of 1723 did not furnish its
prototype.
flow can a ithop-keeper be convicted of overcharging, unless
a price be fixed for his merchandize ? A buyer always thinks
he is charged too much. The French, then, must denounce
the shop-keepers who seem to charge them exorbitantly. Is it
thought then, that their soldiers, full of honour, will turn vile
inforniers ? The last it ^onvenience of such a measure, were it
executed, would be to produce a real scarcity. What must we
think of the confiscation of the shop far the first offence, and
the utmost rigour for the second. When the shop of a shop—
keeper is confiscated, it will be difficult for him to overchiirge
a second time. After confiscation there is nothing but chain 4
or bastimuhiing at the least. It must be allowed that the
counter-revolution is very revolutionary. Meanwhile, our fa-
natical journals are in ecstasies at the firmness of the Regency
of Madrid, and our political journals keep silence for fear of
compromising themselves.

ROYAL COURT OF PARTS, JULY 17.
Trial Of M. Koechlin, Deputy from the Upper Rhine, and
Constant Chau tpie, Printer.
M. Koechlin's offence is the publication of a pamphletole-
nouncing a plot got up in the department of the Upper Rhine,
of which he is the Deputy, to draw some persons suspected by
the Government into acts of rebellion ; with which view some
squadrons of troops were made by
.the public functionaries to
pass through a part of Alsace, crying live l'Empereur ! Vive
Caron I thus leading the peasantry to suppose that a revolt of
the armed force had taken place in favour of Napoleon 11.
These extraordinary facts were not invalidated, but the inferior
Court sentenced M. Koechlin to fine and imprisonment for a
libel, and he, as well as the printer, who was also implicated in
the sentence, carried the case by appeal to the Royal Court of
Paris. M. Barthe, the Advocate of M. Koechlin, pleaded his
cause with great eloquence and boldness, and stated very strong-
ly the duty Imposed on M. Koechlin, as a Deputy for the part.
of the country where this atrocious trick was played, to hold it
up to public indignation.'
' The ADVOCATE-GENERAL, in answer to M. Barthe,
launched into invectives against M. Koechlin, whom he ac-
cused of having a, fellow-feeling with seditious persons, and ac-
cused his advocate, M. Barthe, of having re-stated in his Me-
moire the Übe/Sous part of M. Koechlin's pamphlet, and he de-
mended nut only that the appeal should be dismissed, but that
M. Barthe should be Suspended for six months from the exer-
use of his profession.
The Court, after three hours deliberation, confirmed the
original sentence as to M. Koechlin, and discharged the printer
from all punishment, and sentenced M. Barthe, the advocate,
to be suspended from., the exercise of his profession for one
month.

A great number of Deputies were present, and the warmest
feeling in favour of M. Koechlin was evinced by the auditory.

COIWNNA, Jta.v

We arrived here on the sth, where I, find Quiroga has been,
and is still doing all In his power for the continuation of opera.
tions against the enemy. This province has lost much by the
non-arrival of the men from England, which they so confidently
reckoned on, anti Morillo's disaffection. The.consequence has
been natural enough, that many who were quite decided for the
Constitution, now think themselves deserted, and begin to give
the thing up ; but I do justice to many, who in spite of every
despairing object that presents itself, are resolved to persevere. I
had an opportunity not later than yesterday and the day before
of seeing much of the, feelings of many classes. On the nth I was
sent with dispatches to :llorillo at Lugo, and arrived at his head..
qitarters on the tt dt, at 5 in the morning,; he would not allow me
to remain in the town, and though I requsted to see him, having
something to communicate personally;! was refused, and obliged
to leave the town with one of his Staff, who conducted me to
Puente 'tabula, where they had an advance.d,post (and which
I passed at four in the morning), as It lay in my way home
again. I expected to be dismissed, but after some conversation'
bettieen my conductor(whose behaviour I cannot say much.for
as a Gentleman) and the officer commanding the ,out-post, !It
was desired to dismount and remain till they, could get an an.
seer from Murillo on a certain point, and which would require
about three hours time. Kate I was treated in every respect !
as airisoncr, havitig a sentinel with a drawn bayonet over me;
about two in the afternoon an order arrived‘to send away my
post.horses and detain me till further orders (against every
rule used to any one going with dispatches). About eleven at
night an order cisme to-release me, the same officer bringing an
answer for me to carry back to Corunna ; but I had then.no
horse, and was obliged to wait till day-light, when I started off
on foot to the first post-house, about aleague and a quarter,
accompanied by a dragoon.

While I was in Lugo, I observed the troops were ready to
march, and learnt afterwards that they were preparing quarters
in the town for the reception of the French ; that Morino meant
to remain, and his troops were to go out to camp. The Spanish
officer at the outpost told me the. French troops would amount to.
9,000 men, but from every information I could .collect by other
means, they cannot have more than 5,000. They were to be in
Lugo yesterday. General Ciimpillo is retiring from the
Asttrias, and will join his forces (about 2,000 men) with those
under Quiroga. Every thing is preparing, with haste here for
a defence, and should the enemy besiege It, they will, I hope,
hold out ; the principal authorities, civil and military, are
determined to stand out till the last. Qutroga goes out of the
Wirt tomorrow, to collect .all the -:troops lie lairt of every
class, and form a moving column to 'harrass the enemy; we go
with him.

Morillo, I was told, does not mean to act against the enemy;
there is a friendly understanding between them.
I send you the Mario, giving two letters between Morino
and Quiroga.
