TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE MINISTER or wan.
" Barcelona, Nov. a.
" Sta—l have the honour to acquaint your
Excellency that, as I had already announced to
you, the French troops took possession of the for-
,rtress of Tarragona
at seven o'clock in the-morn-
ing of the 74. The militia who were in the
place, after laying down their arms, have been
sent home, and the troops of the line, to the num-
ber of about 5 GOO men, have commenc?,(l their
march for the caotouthents which have been as-
'signed them.
" This occupation took place with great order
and tranquillity, under the direction of General
Baron de Motttgartle. To-morrow Te Deana will
'be performed in the Cathedral of Barcelona,
with thanksgivings for the occupation of this place
. by the French troops in the name of his Catholic
Majesty. The greatest order and the most per-
. feet tranquility,prevail in this city, where the
coufidence' with which we had inspired the in-
:habitants daily becomes more consolidated.
" have the honour to be,
" The Marshal Duke of Conegliano, MONCEY."

Pants, Nov. l4.—Tits Liberal Journals are
endeavouring to transfer to Spanish America the
'European' interest Which has to long been fixed.
upon the Peninsula. This interest, it is true, has
has in some degree Subsided since the denone.
Mad of Cadiz, and- it is in history that hence.
forward will be revived te eClat of our arms.
Let us then, since it must be so, pass from one
hemisphere to the other. Is England, who remain-
ed neutral' during this social 'struggle, disposed all
at once to.arouse and interfere, under the shield
. of her armam.ents, at a distance of 2,QQO leagues?
Is she disposed, in fact, explicitly to recognize
the independencnof the Spanish colonies, in or-
der that these vast and rich possessions may no
longer rank under the influence of continental
Europe, whose concert appears to excite her dis-
quietude ? Will she confine herself to mere de-
inonstrations, to indirect menaces, or at length,
ashamed and wearied of her political nullOy,
will she again -wield the trident of Neptune ?
These questions form the order of the day.
At the moment that her interested policy is
discovering itself, the Courts of the ,North, it is
said, are about to publish a declaration of the
,nott-recognition of the independence of the Spa-,
nish and Portuguese colonies.
This vig,nrons preliminary would be worthy of
the Holy Alliance : it would nobly answer the
insular speech delivered at Plymouth by Mr.
Canning; in which will be found, what we already
knew, that the grand object which the English
41inisters have in view is the exclusive interests
of England.
Are not the Cabinets of the Continent equally
bound to promote the interests of the people who
live under. their laws, and the re-establishment
of the social powers of Europe and its colonies ?
They who delight to set all England in mo-
tion, in tie hope that there would result from it
a new combustion, affirm that the. English au-
thorities of Corfu, conformably to secret instruc-
tions dispatched from London, have opened ne-
gociations with the principal Greek ChieNoma
fs, to
engage them to place the Archipelago and
under the protection of England.
Is this presumable at the very moment when
the English oegociators seem to .not in concert
with the two principal Courts of the orth, re-
specting the affairs of Turkey ? This N
would' be a
new proof of the inconsistencies which an ambi-
'germs policy displays, the only regulators ,of
Atich are fraud and views of aggrandizement.
In virtue of the Royal Ordinance issued yesterday, and pub-
lished this morning in the Moniteur, " the public funds and
loans of foreign Governments will be quoted on the Coors Au.
thentique of the 'Change of Paris."
This measure (the wisdom of which is demonstrated in the
introductory observations) terminates the struggle .between the
illegitimete lean of the Spanish and the Royal loan con-
tracted for under the Regency by the firm Guebhard and Co.,
and confirmed by the special authorization of King Fee
nand. fn fact, from this day forward, the latter loan takes its
legaistation on the Register of the Cool Authentique of the
foreign funds, and the former loan is radically erased from it,
since the pretended Government under whose authority it was
unlimited, is itself, in fact and right, erased from the political
list of the Government); recognized by France. The operations
in piastres are, conserfuently, from this day divested of all cha-
• meter, even an apparent one of public legality, end no person
has a right, authentically, to quote the price thereof.
Under this point of view, which is only the irresistible cense-
quepee of the Royal Ordinance, this speculation, which is anni-
hilated as a public lean, cannot even sustain itself as a private,
operation, mince the guarantees assigned for its liquidation, on
the domains and revenues of Spain, irrevocably escape froth the
'hands of the contracting parties:
The Courier Frongais and the Journal du Commerce will
but vainly console themselves with the transitory rise which it
hair enjoyed. The plausible cause of this momentary im-
provement was the payment of the last dividends. Now these
dividends were only liquidated by a sacrifice of the capitol it-
self, of which there remained 20,000,000 in the hands of M.
Ardonin, when his partner, M. Hubbard, was under the ne-
cessity of hastily quitting Madrichem the 27th of May last, after
'sthe entrance of our troops, to escape the pursuit of'tbu Cartes,
who demanded paymantof the loan. But this resource (how-
ever regular in itself, and by the aid of which the next
depds Might also be lkoidated)dow perishes altogether by the
noittretind force of things; in the hands of the detainer, for any
other application than that Of reimbursing, au mare le franc,
*ith this residue of the capital, the holders of the stool to whom'
these 20,000,000 unquestionably belong.
We do not in- the least doubt the prudent promptitude
with iviricb. they will act to prevent the trivial remains of
their advances from being longer exposed to the dangers of cif.

cutudtances.
Advices;which appear to US ivell-founded,but to which it
would, perhaps, be prlident not to give entire faith, state,
that at their intSryiew at Czernowitz, the Emperors of Rus-
sift and Arabs agreed 'to restore to the throne, of his ances-
tors the son of a King whom the ,events of the regime of
Buonaparte dethroned. His successor is to be, it is said,
nominated.Fiug of Greece., arid will found a new dynasty .in
,the East. It is'also said' that the Knights of Malta are to

be assisted in re-conquering the isle of Cyprus. God grant
that these projects, if they have a real existence, may tran-
quillize all parties, and preserve, the IVlCrea from those pha-
tiariot Princes who are as much cxectateti in that quarter tut

( Prom the Ettille).
limos, Nov. 16.—it is affirmed that in a letter addressed to
he King, M. the Prince de Talleyrand demands an investiga-
bn by the Chamber of Pecrs,uf the accusation brought against
him by the Duke de Rovigo, respecting the affair of the Duke

d'Enghien. „ r
The Count de Nessebode has communicated by a note to the
AlHeil:Courts, the progress and enSuing concltision of the nego-
ciations with the Porte. Thii document will be an epoch in
history, and will be an'eternal monument of the moderation of
the Emperor Alexander.

nonID, Nov. B.—On the sth instant, in consequence of
:he orders of his.. Majesty, the Allied troops entered the for.

tress of t arthagena.
We have this instant received a copy of the General Order
of the fortress of Tarragona. It gives details of the armistice
concluded .l?etween the Duke de Conegliano and Don Fran-
cisco Espoz de Mina ; and contains the articles of the guaran-
te:s otrered to Mina by the'l4larshal. These articles, which
are to serve as t basis to the treaties, are to be concluded on a
future, day :--
" Head-quarterfq Sarria, Oct. 22.

" Art. 1. The Militia, after having laid down their arms, '
may return to their homes, where they shall never be jrioleged
on account of their previous conduct ct political opinions,
Art. 2. The troops of the line shall proceed, by corps, to
the cantonments which will be assigned to them, with their

arms and officers.
" Mt. The individuals who desire to quit Spain shall be
conveyed by land and sea, to the .different points they may
designate, and according as may have been arranged with

them."
• The King, our Sovereign, has ordained, by a Decree of the
3d of October, that.the pasts of Supernumerary Adjutants of
fortresses 'shall be suppressed. The officers now holding them
are maintained in their functions ; but in future no solicita-
tion for obtaining these place'► will be received, except in the
event of a vacancy occurring in the number fixed by the Ordi-

Although, of course, the Dock-yard is to make every accom-
modation which may be necessary, and which can be done
without delaying the ship.

Tuesday, both Sir Alexander Cochrane and Commissioner n
Shield expressed their entire approbation on Sunday. On
my return from \Vembury, I was overtaken by Mr. Turner,
riding, who perceiving me to be much fatigued, the wea-
ther being very rainy, and the road scarcely passable by a
foot passenger, very pelitely offered me his hotse, and as far
our road was the same, I gladly accepted his offer. Ott
my return on board, that neither delay nor misconception as to
the arrangements of Coats might retard the embarkation of
Sir Edward Therrenn's baggage, I left with Lieutenant Gos-
set, die then commanding officer of the ship, written order:,
explicit es to the approeriation of all the boats, the tune and
respective places of their destination, so that they might meet
the 'baggage the instant it arrived at the water side. 'I he wen' :t
ther being unfavourable on Monday, it was Tuesday evening
before all the baggage could be embarked.
At about a quarter before faille-ten Tuesday afternoon, Sir N.
Thornton' embarked, and the Coureevill naturally ask why I
-did not instantly procceel to sea ? My' reply. is, that with the
Honolirable the Comm ander-in.Chief 's 'permission, I hart made
an arrangement to send ltis barge to embark Sir Edward Thor-
nton at the time he appointed, five o'clock, Gut the state of the
weather was such, that I was induced to wait on the Admiral,
for the purpose of ascertaining his opinion whether the service
would be forwarded by petting to sea in such weather, and he
will tell you that he concurred in the opinion that the ship could
not proceed to sea with advantage that night.; I then dispatched
a cut ter with an officer to convey the information toSir Edell;
" Thornton, but he preferred to sleep on board that night, al I
informed hien by that offictr it was ray intention to sail early
the following morning, end, accordingly, on the folleivin4

During the time the Hussar was fitting at Plymouth, he most

mand, was ready to proceed to sea with Sir Edward (horn: • ,
ton, at an hour's notice?--The first specific notice thst •
recollect to have received of the actual readiness of the shiP
was on the 15th of August, on which day the Seero°ll
of the Admiralty signified to the Foreign Office that the
Hussar was ready to sail, and waited only for Sir Edwela
Thornton, expressing, evidently with sonic surprise, that Sif
Edward was not arrived. It was also a great surprise to me ti°,
find that Sir Edw. Thornton was not embarked. He had al:e'"

to him on Saturday, the 9th. I took it for granted that lie he'
embarked, and I must, therefore, have had upon my leirAel
impression that the Hussar was ready to • proceed, althoeg"
cannot recollect, nor find any memorandum of the specinciv
formation, previous to that day. So strong was the impreole°
on my mind that the delay was wholly attributable to Sir Beal'
Thornton, that I dispatched a messenger to him, directing 01°A
to embark immediately, and unless he did so, that 1 Own'
recommend another Minister to be sent in his stead. •
Their Lordships having stated in their accusations agaie",
