Worse.

We have received advices from Bayonne this
morning of the 15th instant. Letters had been received there

from Madrid of the 10th, which state that Capital to be still
tranquil, but that it may be apprehended that the calm
will be interrupted if the Spanish Police should often
take the liberty, as it has lately done, of arresting French-
men, on the ground, or the pretext, of their being Free-
smasons. This arbitrary act has irritated all the French who
are not accountable for their conduct to any but the Military

Authorities. As the Swiss treat the Spaniards very ill,

it said. that General DIGEON has resolved that the gar.

rison of Madrid shall be composed of French only.—The
Kura. by a Decree,' has created a new rente of five

Ilaillions of reals in favour of the Sinking Fund. A person arrived
from Valencia, says that a person had just died there with all

the symptoms of the yellow fever. The prisons of that city con-
tinue to be full. It is certain that orders have been given to eva-
cuate Carthagena. Every precaution is taken to prevent the
introduction of suspicious goods. The great heat which is al-
ready felt on the coast of the Mediterranean excites well-
founded apprehensions. The draught is such through-
eta Spain that the harvest this year will be next to no-
thing, and accordingly the price of grain has nearly
doubled, and there is no saying where the rise may
stop, especially if speculators should interfere, as is to be
apprehended. The distress of the people is at the height,
for, however abstemious they may be, they still require
some little food, which they cannot procure, being desti-
tute of every kind of resource. It is affirmed, that it
Is not the Moors but the English who have taken posses-
sion of Ceuta, with a view to make a second Gibraltar of
:it. It is reported, that there have been some disturbances at
Corunna, on occasion of the return of some prisoners. The
fact seems to be that some of them have been killed at Tolosa,
and it is said that all the others are hastening back towards
Prance. It was affirmed here yesterday evening, that all
the militiamen, who were to return to Spain, have received
orders suspending their departure.

We have received the Paris Papers of Thurs-
day and Friday and Etoile of Saturday, extracts
from which are given in another column.—There
are accounts from Chili which state the recapture
of Truxillo by the Republican Colonel FUENTE,
Who had obtained written proofs of the treachery
of General SANTA Cauz, as well as of Riva.

AGUEItA. It is of treachery that the friends to
the independence of South America have most

reason to be afraid. The Journal des DL;bats,
the demi-official Paper of the French Ministry,

very plainly intimates, in the following para-
graph, the possibility that ITUREIDE has only gone
to prepare the way for a ". legitimate Prince."

- -
" Without wishing to prejudge the result of the enterprise of
Iturbide, we must say that it announces audacity, and that,
the moment seems to be well chosen. For we know through the
authority of the English Newspapers themselves, that the au-
thority of the Mexican Congress had been deeply shaken by
military insurrections, and that the weakness of the Republican
Government was proved by the concessions which it had made
to the Chief of the Malcontents, the General, or rather the ex-
shoemaker Lovato. In a State where a shoemaker possesses
power, an Ex-Colonel and Ex-Emperor may also pretend to
it without being very arrogant. Now, if Iturbide should re-
cover the sceptre, what would be the ultimate result ? It
might be possible that he should only be clearing the way for
a legitimate Prince. The ways of Providence are so extra-
ordinary !"

We copy the subjoined article from the British
Monitor of yesterday—the Editor of which Paper
declares, that 'TURBID E, at a personal conference
with him, designated the Mexican Loan as a
swindling transaction, and confidently predicts,
that, in the event of the Ex-Emperor's success,
the Loan will never he recognized :
" The Ex-Emperor U1'11111117)1, as we are informed on the
best authority, embarked in the river in a steamboat for the
Isle of Wight, accompanied by his wife, two children, a priest
(his Confessor, no doubt), two friends, (one of whom is a M.
ToRRENTo, who was Spanish Constitutional Consul at Leg-
horn, and who came to this country with IT unuiDE), and two
servants. When the Steamer was near Ryde, the Captain was
desired to approach a vessel which was lying there, and on
hoard of which IT II B.BIDE and his party immediately went.
The vessel is called " The Spring of London," and was char-
tered in London by an agent of IT ulilllDE for himself. There
were no other arms on board (notwithstanding what has been
said to the contrary), than such as might be thought necessary
for their defence against pirates or Spanish cruizers. The de-
parture of this important character for Mexico does not astonish
us, for he had often expressed to us his determination to return
to his country if he was applied to. It appeared to us that he
aspired to become a second Citicxx.NAT us. Speculation is
now directed to his future plans—whether he is gone to set up
for himself, or whether he intends to act for the interests of
Spain. We can offer no opinion as to his plan, because we do
not feel ourselves warranted to state all that we know on this
subject. All that we shall say at present is, that he has a
strong party in Mexico, consisting of the army and the priests,
who will support him ; and our readers must recollect, that
when the intelligence was received in this country, about six
weeks ago, of an attempt having been made by General Lo-
BAT 0 to overturn the Mexican Government, we distinctly
stated that General LOBATO was a creature of ITuilistra's.
We know, from unquestionable authority, that ITUBBIDE
will not proceed in the first instance to Mexico, but is going to
a Port which we are not at liberty to name, where he is to meet
his friends, who are to concert and advise with him how he is
to act. In his letter to Mr. WIN', IT URBIDY says, that if
he succeeds, he will recognize all those burdens which the pre-
sent Government have imposed upon the Mexican people.
This alludes to the Loan raised in London. Now, we affirm,
in the most positive manner, and are ready at any time to make
an affidavit, that he said to us, in the presence of a Gentleman,
that the loan contracted for Mexico was, on the part of its
Government, a swindling transaction—that Government having
laid claim to the sovereignty of provinces, not one inch of whose
territory was in its possession, although the loan was contracted
on their part also. It was all very well for IT UILBIDE to say
what lie did in his letter to Mr. Quisf, because, in the event of
a miscarriage, he insures to himself a more favourable recep-
tion, if he should return to this country, than he could other-
wise hope to experience. By way of consolation to the holders
of Mexican securities, we can tell them, that in the event of
IT ITRBIDE'S success, not one farthing of the loan will ever be
paid !"

[From the Glasgow Courier, May 20.]
We have been favoured, by a commercial
house in town, with the following extract of a letter from Cap-
tain SHAWN ON, of the brig Spartan, written at Cork on the 15th
inst., which gives a satisfactory explanation of the reason for
the late embargo at the Havannah, and different from the
cause which has been assigned for it in the London Papers
Costa, MAY 15.—1 am sorry we did not reach this so soon
as you expected. Instead of the 4th of April, on which day
we were ready to start from the Havannah, we were detained
there by an embargo until the 7th, in consequence of two Co-
lombian ships of war, of considerable force, having appeared
off the harbour, and captured one of the Spanish men of war,
a heavy corvette, of 28 guns, almost in sight of the Moro
Castle."

The Dublin Star of the 20th and 21st inst.
give an account of the separation of Lord and
Lady ByttoN, in which the noble pair are stated
to have parted in anger. This, as we stated in
Tile Sort on the day after the melancholy ac-
count of his Lordship's death arrived, is erro-
neous. They parted in perfect amity, and his
Lordship, we have been assured, received the most
affectionate letters from his Lady every day after
she quitted town, pressing him to rejoin her at
her father's; but three days before his Lordship
had agreed with a friend to visit his Lady at a time
settled between them, Lord B. received a letter
(not from Lady BYRON), prohibiting his visit,
and signifying that she should never be permit-
ted to rejoin him any more. Relations and friends
of the family, as we before stated, in vain en-
deavoured to get this prohibition annulled, or to
explore the cause, but found that the decision
was irrevocable. Lady B yaoN, though her un-
derstanding is excellent, and her disposition
truly amiable, is understood to have always
shewn an implicit obedience to parental autho-
rity. We find that the article in Tug SUN, to
which we have above referred, appears in The
Dublin Star of the 21st, and is stated as from a
" London Paper," but not specifying TUE SUN.
We make it a point to name the paper from
which we derive any articles, not common to all
Public Journals, and might reasonably hope that
Provincial Journals in general would follow the
example.

AMERICAN TARIFF BILL.—By letters received
in Glasgow this morning from Liverpool, the im-
portant intelligence has been received, that the
American Tariff Bill had passed the House of
Representatives, by a majority of fore.—(Glas-
gow Courier, hiay 20.)
We have seen a letter from Madrid, dated the
Gth instant, stating that the Duke of SAN CARLOS, the Spanish
Ambassador, has been appointed Governor-General of the pro-
vince
of Navarre, and that the newly appointed Ambassador to
this country, who has been for some time at Paris, on his way
here, is to change his destination, and that he goes to St. Peters-
burgh.—( British Monitor of yesterday. )
On Saturday, at two o'clock, a Cabinet Coun-
cil was held at the Foreign Office, in Downing-
street, which was attended by the Earl of LI-
VERPOOL, the Earl of WESTMORELAND, the Duke
Of WELLINGTON, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER, Mr. Secretary CANNING, Mr. Secre-
tary PEEL, Earl BATHURST, Mr. HUSKISSON,

It is reported that intelligence has been re-
ceived from the Gold Coast of the safety of Sir
CHARLES MCARTHY, who, it is taid, had escaped
to one of the neutral tribes, who afforded him
protection. We shall be happy to find this re-
port confirmed.

WINDSOR, MAY 23.
There have not yet been any orders relative to the !Oriel's
reception at the Castle, and it is not expected that his Ma-

were stationed on the east side of the Terrace, and played al-
ternately some delightful pieces until 3 o'clock. Yesterday
