FRENCH PAPERS.

[Prom the Done of Motulay.]
MADRID, ./1.1 t.Y 15.—The King and Queen were still at
Cuenca on the 12th, where their presence has been celebrated
by continual Mem. Their Majesties intended to set out early
on the 13th for Nicete, whence they will return to Sacedon.
The Gazette of to-day contains news from Peru, under the
head of " Official Correspondence."—The first dispatch is from
the Viceroy Lemma, dated from the head-quarters at Lampe,
30th September. He highly praises the co-operation of Gene-
ral Valdez, and the zeal of all the officers anti soldiers of his
army. The revolutionary army of Santa Cruz and Gemara
may be considered as reduced to nothing. It has lost all its
artillery in its`tlight ; 1,500 prisoners were taken, of whom 70
are officers.

The American frigate, Mprcary, which arrived at Gibral-
tar, from the Havanna'', ha brought •letters from Vera Crux
and Alvarado of the 7th and fith of May.
While the Mexican Congress proclaimed Nicholas Bravo,
Dictator, the provinces of °nadalusia, Zacalacas, and Queri-
taro proclaimed Iturhide.
The most violent fermentation prevailed in Mexico, strangers
were preparing to depart from that city with all their ready
money, amounting to a million and a halt' of piastres. They
have obtained an escort of seven hundred men to accompany
them, as far as Xalapa. The towns of Ottjaca, Chiapa, and
Teunantepee, after seceding from the Mexican Republic, are
on the point of going to war with each other, because each of
them, with the province depending on it, desires to be free and
independent in its own manner.
The faithful town of St. Louis de Potosi persists in its ho-
nourable dispositions. The arrival Of the Spanish expedition
was greatly desired.
The Congress at Xalapa has not been able to open its Session
for want of a sufficient number of Members. Only seven de-
puties have arrived.
The news from the llavannah is of the 25th May. The
Sabine frigate. bad been sent to St. John de Ulloa with troops
and tunmunition of all kinds. The Fame frigate had arrived
there from Cadiz with some merchantmen.
Information had been received at the Havannah, that the
strangers who had left Mexico with an escort, had arrived at
Xalapa with 1,300,000 piastre's.
Clue of " the Emperor. Iturbide for ever !" had been heard
at Alvarado; a poor wretch was seized by the Republicans,
and instantly hanged. Letters front Mexico, of 24th April,-
speak very openly of the situation of the country; all sensible
people agree in the impossibility of giving stability to a Govern-
ment composed of so ninny jarring elements. Yesterday there'
arrived at Madrid several waggons escorted by SpaniSh infantry
and cavalry ; some are said to be loaded with money. The
King has Just given 60,000 reals, and the Queen 80,000, to
hasten the formation of a third battalion of volunteers of this
capital. This example has been followed by several persons in
office, and rich individuals, whose most ardent wish is to sea a
national military force established in Spain for the safety of the
throne, and the maintenance of public tran9uillity.
The French Ambassador having examined the dispatches
brought here from Paris by two extraordinary couriers, set out
immediately to wait upon the King at Cuenca.
General Capape is going to be brought before a Court Mar-
tial. It was proposed to release hint from prison, but he desired
to be tried first; it is not probable that he will be condemned.
BAYONNE, JULY 18.—Merchants' letters from the neigh-
bouring provinces of Spain, say, that tumultuous scenes have
taken place on various points. At Valladolid some houses
were entered by force, and the windows of others broken. At
Palencia, a Marquis has been killed ; at Bilboa, some Royal-
ist Volunteers and Ancient llilitia have come to blows ; at
Lagrono, the persons confined for political opinions have been
set at liberty, except those persons who are among the excep-
tions in. the Decree of Amnesty.
ST. CLotrn, Jdr.Y 25.—After Mass his Majesty received
the great Officers of State, the 'Ambassadors, Ministers, Peers
of Fiance, Deputies, and a great many functionaries, civil and
military.
PARIS, JULY 25.—A telegraphic dispatch announces the
arrival of a Russian frigate at Brest; it is the Prevorina (Agile)
commanded by Captain Oazinti.
D. Marie Salazar, Mlniitar of Marine at Madrid, holding
par bacrim the office of Foreign Alfair,s, has wri.ten to ,the
Spanish Commit at. Itortlttami,,contradieting it report that Baron
WV:rotes *llO4 appaltiviedliteeray of "Para'.Th. em-

loved by the people under 10111, were alarmed at the report, and
applied to the Consul to learn the truth.
it is said that Count d'E.'sprtgne is named Minister of War, in
the room of M. de la Cruz, who has resigned.

Tux Mar. which took place near Pnrig a few
days ago, between Lieutenant EDWAND formerly of
the Ist Regiment of Life Guard*, and a Mr. BrEny, and
which. prover fatal to the latter gentleman, was attended with
some singular eireumstaneei in to origin. The parties bad
been nequainted for some years, and had both, for a consi-
d,,,,Jaa period, resided at Paris ; but fur some time before
the cause of the present unfortunate transaction, .some miss
understanding had arisen, which caused a c\ailneas to exist
between them, although they ati4 continued to associate
in public. (.ht the day this unhappy atikir occurred, Lieut.
Finch happened to be dining with some friends, at a iierion.
ratenr, and met in the coffee-room an English Clergyman,
with whom he had been acquainted, and to whom he now .ad.
dresstd himself; but the latter did not think proper to recognise
the acquaintance, upon which Mr. Finch observed that this
conduct was very arrange on the part of his clerical friend,
becauee, so far from Ins (Mr. Finch) thinking it any honour
to be recognized by the person, he considered that he was
conferring an honour upon the latter by speaking to him at all.
'These observations were taken up by the Clergyman's party,
and Mr. Finch was called upon to retract them, or give some
explanation; but he refused to do either, and told the friends
of the Clergyman, that if they did not like his remark*,
they might put what construction they pleased on them. The
consequence of this refusal way, that a meeting of all the Rev.
tientlenuab friends took place that evening, among whom
was Mr. ) leeby, and it was agreed that a message
should be sent to Air. Finch, but that ho should have the
option of choosing his antagonist from the whole, or in the
event of his refusal to do so, that they should cast lots for the
honour of the field. This decision was communicated to Mr.
Finch, who did not hesitate to adopt the first proposal, and
said, that as an old unsettled misunderstanding existed be-
twerril biniscif. and Mr. Beeby, they might now kill two birds
with one atone, and decide both drain, at once. Mr. Beeby
accepted the preference given to bim---the preliminaries were
erranged, the parties met, and the first exchange of shots prov-
ed fatal to Mr. Beeby. _

The Gaulle of Minos (in Prussia) mentions
the death of a singular 1110. n, who never had a
fixed country or property, who passed 40 years
in going over Europe on foot, and who had an
acquaintance with most learned men, and with
antiquaries in particular, on account of researches
in which he wax engaged respecting the ancient
Scandinavian tongues. On his return a year ago
from his last journey on foot, through France,
Spain, all Italy, Hungary, and Austria, he passed
some time in the Duchy of Mecklenhourg, after
which he wettt through the South of Germany to
Naples. There he was imprisoned on suspicion
of Carbonuriam, and afterwards released. But
in returning to Germany he died within two
leagues of Venice. It
is not known whether his
manuscripts and antiquities, which he carried on

LONDON,
WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, -1824.

Mr. MontEx has not, as some of onr Contem.
loraries have asserted, gone out to Mexico it

the quality of Chargei d'Affaires, but is merely
charged with a mission, the object of which is to
-ascertain the real state of that country. Mr.
LIONEL HARVEY is recalled.

We have received the Paris Papers of Sunday,
and the Etoile, dated Monday. They contain
intelligence from Madrid of the 15th, and from

Bayonne of the 18th instant, relative to Spain
and South America.• The. Madrid Gazette, again
boasts of the successes of the Royalists in
Peru, but the events recorded have been long
.known in this country. An American vessel has,
it is said, arrived at, Gibraltar, from the Haven.
nab, and brought letters from Vera Cruz -and
Alvarado, which represent Mexico to be in a
state of the greatest confusion, distracted by
contending ~factious. If we are to believe
this intelligence, while the Mexican Congress
proclaimed Ntdot.As BaAO Dictator, the pro-
vinces of, Gandalaxera, 'Lacelaces, and Quern-
procluitittql Tl►e most violent
foroutotiition le iatit'ti., have pri'lvallettln.lllexii:o,
from whence strangers were preparing to depart
with ell their money, amounting to a Million and
a half of piastres. They had obtained an escort
of 700 men to accompany them as far es Xalapa.
The towns of.Pajaca, Chit, pa, and Teunantepee,
after seceding from the Mexican Republic, were',
on the point of going to war wit(► each other, be.
cause each of them, with► the province depending
on it, desired to he free and Independent in its
Own manner. The congress at Xalapa, it is
also said, had riot been able to open its Ses-
sion for want of a sufficient number of Mem,
hers, only seven Deputies having arrived.—
King FIMMAANO eutl the QUEEN were at
Cuenca on the 12th, whither the French Ambas-1
sador was going, in consequence of dispatches
he had received at Paris. The accounts from
Bayonne state that great disorders prevail
in several provinces of Spin, and that consi.
derable tumults have occurred in some of
the principal towns of that distracted country.
The report of the Baron d'l4lnor,i s. having
been appointed Vicer4 of Peru has' been
contradicted by the
,Spanish► Consul at Bor-
deaux, in pursuance of an official letter
from the Spanish Nlinister of Marine. A tele-
graphic dispatch, received at Paris on Sunday,
announced the .arrival of. the Russian frigate
Pravorina at Brest.

The 'Expresses from' Paris this morninq hay'
brought the French. Rents 98f. '1,50. After
'Cluitige on MondaY they were 954 f.
