"We are here in the midst of rejoicings. The houses•are
hung with tapestry; the 'bells are• ringing, and guns firing.
An inunease,croird peramhulates the streets. The people are
embracing, laughing, weeping for joy. All the churches are
filled with men returning thanks to the Almighty for the 'deli-
- veranee of the King. ThiS, at least, proves how much that
Prince is beloved, and what credit is due to the calumnies cir-
culated by the Liberals. 'The great news, however, which has
' cauofarall this joy is not yet confirmed. The following is per-
haps What has given rise to it:—
" The news of the departure of the Duke of Angouleme for
Andalusia , produced ,a great sensation. at Cattiz ; the leading
men began to reflect snriously, and thought it prudent-to relax
the rigorous measures exercised against their Sovereign. They 1
,Permitted him to go to the church and to show himself in the
•eity. Hence arose the report of the King being set at liberty.
'rho people of Catlin, who had not before •seen the King, ex.
pressed unbounded joy at the sight of their unfortunate 310.
march. This explosion of loyalty extended its influence to the
soldiers, and several regiments shouted 'Viva cl Rey! with an
enthusiasm which alarMed the Cortes. This is all that is posi.
• tively known, and the result of this first manifestation of feeling
is yet to be learned ; but it should be taken into consideration
that it occurred between the Ist.and the'4th of this month, and
thatat that period the news of the two defeats of llallasteros,
and of the capitulation signed nn the 4th •at Granada,- hdd not
reached Cadiz. Judge, then, the effect which the account of
these two events must have had on their arriving successively
irr a town already agitated. Add to that, the reinforcement Of
our squadron, the approaCh of General Molitor's troops, and
the presence of the Duke of Angottleme, who will arrive at
Pnerto'de Santa Maria on the 18th or 17th, and you will admit
•that we may entertain reasonable hopes of an event which will
crown the glory of the Dike ofAng►ouleme -and of our brave

array."

The following very remark-able 'Address was.
printed as a Supplement to the Restattrador,of
the Ist instant. It is direetd-to the Regency
Alustt Serene Lord,--The Ayuntamiento of Cordova, the
faithful organ of :the: sentiments of a town,Which yields to no
other fn tulherence and fidelity to the Kinvhas learned with
s'nlirisc and regret That a faction, well known in that unfor.
:tonate epoch width has caused so many tears to flow, is still
'operating,- under the shade of a false 'and dark policy, against
-the right of the Sovereign, which an infamous Constitution had
subverted, and against the opinions and wishes of the people of
Spain, .who have so decidedly and so freely expreesed them
selves in all parts of the Peninsula.

'" The Ayuntamiento would hewn:sting In its dutiesif, in
such a trying moment, it bad not had recourse to your Serene
highness as the defender of the throne, in order to call atten-
tion to the new dangers with whiCh the sovereignty of our
King and the peace of the nation are threatened. At the same,
time it takes this opportunity of expressing the mostsolemn
wishes of the Cordovan people against a system which, if it
might he admired as a preferable evil in the blindest and most
violent period of our 'Revolution, would nevertheless' be as im-
politic as it would be horrible. in an epoch when the nation be.'
log fortunately rescued from the yoke of constitutional tyranny,
and restored to .tlta enjoyinent of its best libertiesi, faithful
Spaniards cen sneak, their sentimenvL, and give to the whole
worst. proofs of their abhorrence. for every thing which
is in contradiction tb their ancient laws, and of ,their desire to
have a free and absolute King, who wohld promote the happi-
ness of his people without the aid of institutions /which are un.
known in the annals of their history, and Which Are as fermi-
dable and as ominous, under existing circiansumees, as they
are opposite to the ideas and customs of the nation.
" Such is in truth, most Serene Lord, the system. of the
two Chambers, which, by imposing restraints on the authority
of the King, 11CM.intentled bythe fundamental laws of Castile,
and by essentially varying thAStablished fact without the will
of the King, would contain the,Sarne radical vice as the Con-
stitution iuwif ; anti every negociation or adjustment which is
undertaken upon these grounds for the liberation of the captive
King, will always be vain, and will compromise thepeace and
tranquillity of the militem. _ _

" If the legitithaey of Monarchs cannot be rendered cont.'
patihle with the pride of their people, when these wish to give
themselves laws which those have not dictated, still less com-
p:tole would it be.with at institution which his Majesty has

rso clearly sea so open Abhorred, and wldch turpiise and moral'
violence alone would induce him to accept. The. King does
not wish, and with justice, to forfeit rights and privileges to
which the nation•swore so freely and so spottaneously, and
which have -been exercised for so. many age% -by his ancestors.;
and every innovation upon thii point, in pro Portion Wit would.
dash with thepolKcal dogma efhis legitimaey, would open
a 'wide door to discord, 'which would be fomented by the
warmth of dispates and opinions to the fatal :length of a civil
war like that which has already desolated the greatest part of
the Peninsula.

'‘an fine, if the Spanish people, or an immense majority of
it, were anxious -for the -system of Chambers, -this injustice
against'the rights of the King would not produce results alto-
getherso disagreeable, and the goOdness of the Sovereign would.
know how to.accommodate itself to the desires and wishes of his
people. But any one who has even slightly examined the chit-,
meter of the present feeling for the cause of the King, would
soon be convinced that the wish of Spaniards is never to lessen
in tho slightest degree the sovereignty of their beloved 310-
narch,nor to accept °systems or institutions which are opposed
to the ancient and fundamental laws of the nation.

" The Ayuntamionto has fully witnessed the opinion enter-
tained by theveopkof Cordova, which were so;nobly and sa
decidedly expressed on the 10th of June last, and which arc no-
toriously so conformable to those which the other provinces ex-
pressed, as soon as they were rescued from the yoke of oppres-
sion. ' The absolute and free King' have been the greatest
echoes of their emotion, and they do not yet'ccase to resound in
their hymns and acclamations. This is the most energetic and
animated, and at the same time the most simple and inped ex-
pressive of the will of the people, who, being excited naturally
by their enthusiasm and their wishes, did not stand in need of
base stimulants of subornation and intrigue, which at every pe-
riod have marked the black perfidy and the violent machina-
tions of innovators and Revolutionists.

" It will be sufficient to take a rapid view of some details of
the system of Chambers, in order to know that if they have
been, and always will be, dangerous to the minds of the coldest
temperature, and long accustomed to tranquillity, they would
be, beyond all doubt, incalculably prejudicial to a.nation which
is heated, agitated, and still disturbed by the violence of inno-
vations; The liberty of the press,,which is truly impolitic, and
chiefly the origin of all our dissensions, and the traitorous wea-
pon that bi most abused ; the poplar character of elections,
which has always provoked the passions, the intrigues And the
Ambition of parties; the public tribune, which is more fit to
flatter vanity, to exalt the passions, ,and: to agitate the People,
than to illustrate any matter in dispute ; and that generic
liberty, so ominous as it is badly understood, which is the in-
separable character of every liberal Government, are all so many
institutions which the system of the Chambers would perpe-
tuate for us, and which would render those political oscillations
interminable, which hare occasioned us so many misfortunes
and losses."

PORTUGAL.

29.,--The vile instruments of
the misfortunes of. this kingdom, since August
24, 1820, the Silvas, Carvalhos, Lief's, Mourns,
and others who, flying from their country, re-
pair to the Thames, not con►ent with their past
misdeeds, and us if there was nothing in their
hearts but eternal hatred to their fellow-coun-
try -men, do not cease to frame Intrigues, and
to use hard language, in the hope that they mny
be able, by these unworthy means, to hasten
the final ruin of Portugal, and revive that fa-
tal system, that Constitution contrived in
the clubs of the Freemasons, and entirely de-
mocratical, which,'tying the hands of the Sove-
reign, aimed at placing all the powers of the
States in the hands of a demagogical and de-
testable faction. Falsehood, imposture, and se-
Auction were the pillars Which supported the
faction during the whole time of its dominion :
proceeding in the saute course,. these unworthy
men write, in London, articles designed to de-
lude foreigners who have not the prudence to go
to the best sources for the present state of af-
fairs in Portugal. However, the folly, the con-
tradiction, and the confusion of their statements
can deceive but very few. The Editor :here
quotes from the Morning Chronicle of the 18th of
July, an article from Oporto of that month, com-
menting on the several paragraphs as he proceeds.
He calls it un article from the manufactory
((Sicilia) of 'Mourn and Co., and says, he has
good reason for believing that the article conies
from that source.]
AUGUST I.—The ill-disposed lose no oppor-
tunity of publiihing news foolishly alarming.—
Within these few days they have circulated re-
ports of disorders in the city of 'Oporto, and of
the flight of part of the 21st regiment of infantry.
So it is that the evil-minded misrepresent events.
—Of the 21st regiment two companies went to
Tuy to proclaim his Majesty Ferdinand VII.,
accompanied brsevertil Spaniards (in arms) who
were in Valencia. There were great rejoicings
in Toy, the Constitution was burnt, with various
emblems belonging to it—and an officer and 30
soldiers of that regiment remained in the town.
.—This is published in an extraordinary supple-
ment to the Comely do Porto of Tuesday -this
week.

The Oporto Papers contain► a list of 6 persons
who have been apprehended, and x ordered to
leaVe the city.
AUGUST .s.—The Gazette contains an order of
the day of Don Miguel, stating that his Majesty
'ltas commanded that some troops of the division
of the Marquis of Chaves shall proceed to Beira
anti T raz-os.Montes, to relieve the corps of the
2d of the line in the arduous duty they have to
perform, and also to protect those two provinces
against any insults of the Spanish revolutionary
guerillas.---( Lisbon Gotetie, Aug.s.)

The following is an extract of mi-'fetter, dated
Bilbao, August 7 :-----" General Prince IfortEN-
LORE lately came hither. from Victo4a, and from
hence he to Laredo, ttimtween this
place and Santana, where he embarked with his
staff and a large 'number of officers anti artillery-
men, on hoard of two large beats, for the purpose
of reconnoitring Sammie. They approached the
walls, when the garriseldirected a bomb against
one of the boats, which'iell in the one in which
were time ohicers and artillerymen, and buisting
at the moment it fell, killed from about 30 to 40
persons ; indeed, not one escaped on board the
boat in which the explosion took place."

"Throughout the whole day Leith presented a scene of fes-
tivity. The ships in the harbour were decked out with flags
and streamers ; and flags were also displayed on the steeples
and signal tower.

sat down to dinner in the, Assembly Rooms,—Wit.nrAm
Rwocu, Esq. Chief Magistrate, in .the chair, supported by
Admiral Sir J. P. Beresford and Admiral Sir Philip Durham.

highest gratification.
The Royal Family. Song—' When order in. this land
began.'
The Chairman said, the next toast which he should propose
was one in which fie was convinced all present would cordially
join. They could do much greater justice to the sentiment in
their own minds, than he was capable of doing by words,
being unaccustomed to speak in public. It was a toast, the
origin- of which would be handed down, to posterity as one of
the most remarkable events in the annals of our country. lie
