16th instant contains in its official division the
Decree of the Regency relative to persons con-
fined, which, has been forwarded to all the tribu-

" The continually increasing number of streets Whict the
people, in the excess of their zeal and love for the sacred per-
son of the King, cause to be made of the persons of different
individuals, under pretext of their adhesion to the Constitu;
tional System, has mete 'particularly claimed the attention of
she Regency of the Kingdom, the members of which, impressed
with the necessity of remedying these evils, and of the general
'disorder which might result therefrom, bare deemed it ifkum-
tient upon them to renew the enactment of the Royal Decree of
the Ist June, 1814, by which the King, Our Sovereign, pie-
vented similar disorders at the period of his return to Spain

from France."

" iqatonsp, An c. 16.—The Government has received news
from Cadiz, dated lath'inst. The King and his august 'tardily
were in good health.
" The discontent of the tr66ps Of ilie Ude aild *of the inha-
bitants is loudly manifested, in consequente of *bleb, the
/loyalists no longer-restrain the expression of their sentiments
of fidelity.

" On the 3d of August, Riego left Cadiz *ith g,OOO men,
with the design of gaining Malaga ; but the fire of the batteries,
and soon after the musketry of the French and Spanish Allied
Army, promptly made him repent his temerity. This f.silltre
has substituted discouragement for the enthusiasm which this
rebel had endeavoured to excite amongst his troops.

" We have learned from deserters, some of whom are offi=
ters, that the Cortex had circulated a rumour, and even given
details of a pretended decisive victory obtained 1))i Rallastefos
on the very eve of the day on which he made his submission.
This General, said these *evolutionary °facies, bad driven the
i'rench troops, sword. in hand, from Carmona. In order to
punish the Royalism of this great city, he had imposed tipdn
its inhabitants a contribution of thirty millions of reals. This
was Dot, howeVer, all the vanquisher bad marched on 'as far
as Terre del Ore, and razed that post to the gtrdtitid, for having
Afforded an asyhun to monks and religious fraternities; finally,
that all was over, itnd that the corps of Zayas, united to that of
Hallasteros, was going to compel tint troops to raise the siege of
Cadiz. How terrible must havebeen the disappointment When
they learned that, far *OM beating the Frencit troops, Balks.
teroshad submitted to the Regency of Madrid.

" Throe day's before this sortie by lAhd, Riego had Attempted
cue by sea, which was equally unsuccessful. He had embarked
1,300 ittell hi about fifty boats. The French naval force cap-
tured several, and amongit those citi board were several officer*,
who are deeply compromised by theft' revohttionary conthict.
The other boats preelpitateo regained the port. The troops or
the line inspire a just mistrust in the rebels, they now only em:
ploy the militia of Madrid. •

" The preparations for the ,irmnettate bombardment of Cadiz
have been so ncticely forwarded under the superintendence of
the General Count tie Ilourinont at Seville; that already lb gun-
boats, bomb-vessels, and other cructi have descended the Guadel,

" General La Reetiejaquelin has taken Ilayofina.
" Corwin* has been act on fire in lice of six different places.
At the departure of the courier it was not extinguished.
it The Duke San Carlos has transmitted the following letter'
from the Minister of Foreign Affairs at Madtid, to 31. the Duke
de Doudeanville, a Grandee of Spain of the first class, anti
Peer of Prance:—

" TO Tiff: MACE liE notnrAurlLLE,

" VERY EXCELLENT Slit—The Regency of the kingdortt
hits received, with the greatest joy, the letter which your Excel.
lency has addressed them, and which accompanied the act
of adhesion to the principles of fidelity and love tatrards the
legitimate Throne which the rrench Grandees of Spain have
strengthened, by uniting their sentiments-to' those which haite
inert expressed by the Spanish Grandees in their address of the'
3.0111 of May, and that of the 20th of June.
"''Their Serene Highnesses hate seen With the most riVely
interest this unequivocal demonstration of the feelings of the
French Grandees or Spain towards the legidnmcv or the august
House of Hourbon, and they do riot doubt that these tentiiments
toe also those of the French and Spanish Grandees, who, being..
absent from the capful, hate nut been able to sign so solemn
and precious an Address.
" I feel happy on this occasion to be charged by the Mein-.
bets of the Regency of the Kingdom to express to you and to
the French and Spanish arandees their entire gratitude, and
to offer to you my respects, and the high consideration with

PAWS, AUGUST 23,—Some Journals to-day publish very
strange news. They wished to diseover at first, in the Ortli.i
rdinee of the Duke of ,Angoulerne, the germ of a division be-.
tivetin the French troops and the 110yAlitit population of Spain:
—bet them not deceive themselves with this hope t if the
Prince Generalissimo, alive to the maintenance of his word,-
and the honour of our arms, has published the order of An.:
ditjar on his aide, the Regency has issued a decree at Madrid
to release the detenus who had not been arrested by viritte• of
orders issuing from the regular tribunal. These two decrees
have caused great joy
.to the friends of order and justice, and
the agreement of the mu and military authorities to produce a
cessation of deplorable excesses has begun to re-establish con:
lidenee and disarm the spirit of party. It was observed; that
die arbitrary arrests which took place in various places, in
disobedience to the orders of the Regency. had been made by
fiery Revolutionists, who had all of a sudden become ardent
Royalists. It is impossible to say to what a degree the Doke
of Angouleme is revered : his religion, his integrity, his pa
dente, his humanity, his courage, are praised to the skies by
the S'panisli Royalists, and his word is as powerful In Spain as
his army.
f..)h the other side. it is- not true that General Molitor ha*
reviewed the army of liallasteros, or that Ballasteros had 12,000
men. Ile had only 7,000 tit the time of the capitulation, anti
they are now reduced to 4,000, the remainder having returned
home. These 4,00 men are now in our pay, like the army of
Morino, and they will march against the Cortes like the army
of Morillo,, if the Duke of Angnuleine should order theni.
Lastly, ro 1)01'344 constitution has been nor will be pro.
patil to tale Cortes. But in all times and places personal
capitulations hat% been agreed tai in order to terminate revo.
lotions. The King declared in his Speech at the opening of
the last Seasiou

Let Ferdiniu VII, be free to give to his people institu-
tions which they can hold onlyfrom him, and which, by se-
curing their repose, wold dissipate the just inquietude of
Fiance—from that 1T101141,1t I solemnly pledge myself to you,
Gentleitien, that Inistilities will cease."
Neither the Duke of Angoulerne nor his 3lajesty's Govern.
mint have forgot the Royal words;` never will the yeapitulate
with Trvidutiogisfy, never will they treat With the Cortes as a
political Ludy. They desire, without doubt, that Spain should
be free, and-that she May prosper tinder die shadow of Institu-
tions equally distant froth despotism and anarchy, but they
pretend not to impose laws ais for King Ferdinand to decide
with Ida 'Councils that which ought to be done for the happi-
ness of hit people. Attending hrthe &tides pUblishetfollicially
in London, it may appear as if the Roncli (Merriment had
thought the most proper means of terminating the disorders of
Spain would be to grant an amnesty, and to re-establish the
indent Constitution of the State--that is to my, to revoke the
ancient Cortes. That idea seems At once generons a'nd rea-
sonable. However, let us await events at Cadiz; a few days
moreof patience, and we shall know whit to think on the
au kieet.
