continued until near eight in the evening. There were nineteen
players, three of whom were from Somerset, viz. Wall, Stone,
and Pearce; the other 11l consisted of eight men of the neigh.

had been left aloof., and had employed herself
in washing her doll's wardrobe, and drying it by

listracts from the Morning Papers, August 1.

NUE TIMES.]
Though there is no single article or fact of
great importance in the papers last received from
Cadiz, which reach to the 14th, we find, on pe-
ecisal, that their contents, considered in the
whole, disclose a State of things calculated to en•
courage hopes favourable to the cause of Spain.
Of the situation of Galicia, and the prospects it
afforded, little appears to have been then known
in Cadiz; but from all parts of Andalusia and
the adjoining provinces the intelligence is highly
encouraging. Guerilla corps show themselves in
every spot unoccupied by the French. Several
strong corps are spread over Estremadura ; and
in the country between Madrid and Seville French
couriersare daily intercepted. The prisoners taken
by the invaders frequently escape, and either join
some detachment of the regular constitutional
force, or the nearest guerilla. An active partisan,
named Jaime Alfonzd, who, at the head of a small
party, has for some time past been harassing the
French, and overawing the factious in the neigh-
bourhood of Valencia, is now placed at the head
of a strong corps of infantry .and cavalry, raised
by the exertions of Senor Abascal, the political
chief of that province. But what the French
have most to dread is, that the hestilities of the
different parties towards each other will 'soon
subside, and the general diScontent become con-
centrated and directed against them. Their
friends of the Faith are leaving. them : the fac-
tious abandon their standards, and are converted
into Constitutionalists. Colonel Pablo, who
commanded a detached party in Valencia, lately
joined General Ballasteros with his corps, in-
creased by the addition of 1,000 of the .factieus.
These men expressed their regret for having been
misled, and their anxious desire to turn their
arms against the enemies of Spain., The forces
of Ballasteros and Zayas are understood to
have formed a junction in the neighbour-
hood of Grenada. They were rapidly ap-,
preaching Andalusia; and, on their arrival
in that province, it was thought that unless they
re,reived reinforcements, the French would be
obliged to withdraw from before the Isle ofl
Leon. The success of time French enterprise
against Cadiz appears more and more hopeless.
The Constitutional Papers) in discussing this sub-
ject, ohserVe there are only three ways by which
the enemy can attain his object—namely, by force,
by intrigue, or by famine. In considering these
means, it is observed with respect to the first,
that there is little reason to fear, since all the
power of Napoleon could make no impression on
Cadiz, It is, true that the French have esta.
blished a blockade by sea, but besides that
no blockade can be so strict as to prove com-
pletely efficient, the Spaniards consider this
disadvantage more than compensated by the
greater means they now possess of maintaining
communications by land, and obtaining supplies in
that direction. As to the second means, it is
presumed that little effect can, be produced by
intrigue in, a place where the men who ore most
compromised in the fate of the revolution have
titk(!n refuge, and where an army devoted to the
Cause is assembled. As to the last: resource-

famine—it is observed, that before the French
can expect to accomplish any thing in that way,
they must be masters of the whole of the coast
Alicant to Algesiras. In the mean time,
thg,Spaniards have the opportunity of supplying
the mselves with every thing they want, and also
of increasing and arming their flot.ilta of gun.

boats, which will be of essential service both i

defending and provisioning the great citadel of
li-
be;rty and the constitution. The Cortes conduct
their sittings in the WWII manner,, and deliberate
With the same calmness and firmness which they dis-
played in theirproceed lugs beforethe Bourbon mer-
cenaries crossed the Pyrenees. They lately took
into consideration the inconvenience which might
arise from the absence of deputies, if after
,the
conclusion of the present session the permanent
deputation should consider an extraordinary con-
vocation necessary ; and on the 11th ult. the fol.
lowing resolution, moved by Senor Rico, was
adopted on a division of 63 against

sitting of the 7th, on the report of a committee,
army estimates to the amount of 676,387,951
reals vellon were voted.

[MORNING POST.]
We received last night, by Express, French
Papers lothe 31. st ult. The Ministers had not
yet mustered up sufficient resolution to acknow-
ledge openly the defeat experienced by General
Boort.. hefore•Corunna, but contiued to prepare
the, public mind for the intelligence by state.
rrittiit.s (rain 'a With it WU' impossible that the
truth abouid not he inferred. One of the Journals
goes so fur us to admit that after the affair of the
18th or oty, General Bourke ",had taken a new
poition." The meaning of this is evident. In
the situation in which that Commander was placed
at the time of the action, a new position mast
have been, either the occupation of the town after
its conquest, or a removal from the scene of un-
availing slaughter. As no claim is made to the
former, the latter,must necessarily be understood.
The Moniteur is not quite so communicative :
hut its reticence is eloquent ; for accustomed as
it. has been since the commencement of the
Spanish campaign to associate the glories of tri-
11011th every petty skirmish in which the
French troops have been engaged, its simple
mention of " a vigorous affair," without any
boastful assertion with respect to its result, is
equal to an, admission that that result had been
unfavourable.

{NEW TIMES.]
Consols in the course of yesterday were as low
stlBo,l, hut afterwards advanced to 818, at which
price they closed: The memorable alarm para.
griph allot gatarday's Couritr is acouted more

and more every day. The Eloileflatlycontradicts
it ; and, instead of " falling back behind the
Ebro," the Duke d'Angouleme, it, appears, is
going in person to Seville. This resolution of his
Royal Highness was naturally regaled yester-
day, on 'Change, as a convincing proof that lie
had entire confience in the prevailing sentiments
of the people in favour of the Royal cause.—
The Courier, we apprehend, must feel itself ra-
ther in need of support, when it resorts for con-
firmation of its unfortunate article to The Chro-
nick and Times. Those liberal Journals have
certainly never ceased to assure their readers that
the French in Spain were on the eve of destruc-
tion. ' The Times, indeed, before the invasion
took place, predicted that the moment the French
passed the Pyrenees " they would be swallowed
up by au armed nation ;" and the least it can say
now is, that they must be destroyed if they do
not retreat. As to the Courier's Madrid Corre-
spondent, he is no doubt a very worthy Gentle-
man, but he writes on Spanish politics about as
profoundly as one of our Cockney poets in a
lodging at Pappstead might about the views and
intentions of our own Cabinet. Our cotemporary,
in laying this sagacious letter before the public,
very properly " desires to be understood as not
attaching to it any authority of his own."

[BRITISH PRESS.]
Angouleme, the French papers decisively an-
nounce, is about to quit Madrid, and with him
the Regency vanishes : this junta of traitors, who
have been carrying, for the lust three months.,
'proscription and confiscation throughout Spain,
wherever their power could reach, will now have
a price set upon their heads by the Cortes, and
become miserable refugees and pensioners of the
French Court, should they escape beyond the
Pyrenees ; and thus, while Constitutional Spain
is victorious, will close the vile but short career
of Wanted°, Montemar, Calderon, and Osma.
—The Prince Commander-in-Chief was, it
is stated, to set off on the 281 h, at nine
o'clock in the morning, from Madrid : his desti-
nation was said to be Seville; but that we doubt.
When Angouleme quits the Spanish capital, our
own impression is he will do so, wearied and
despairing, to leave Spain for ever. It is as.
serted he means to fix himself at Seville for two
purposes : first", to press the 'siege of Cadiz more
closely ; and next, perhaps, to negociate with the
Cortes, his first operation failing, as it is most
likely to do. Lauriston, it is said, replaces him
at Madrid. But Angouleme, individually, is
a contemptible fanatic, and a mere cipher. His
presence at Seville, unaided by new forces, would
be of no account whatever, and afford neither
strength, nor confidence to the operations of Hour-
desoult nor Bourmont. As to negociations, the
Cortes, in their day of greatest peril, refused to
treat with an enemy on the soil ; and it is not
likely they will do so now, when universal vic-
tory and support are crowding round their
successful banners. No ; the French cannot
and will not remain in Madrid, nor will
Lauriston hold that capital. They have raised
a storm of fanaticism in one faction they
find themselves utterly unable to contrail',
and the opposite party are meeting them in
every province with arms in their hands. The
expence of this vile and fanatical war is terrify-
ing. Napoleon sacked and ravaged Spain to sup-
port his troops. Angouleme, to conciliate his
people, has, as yet, paid for every thing taken:
general opposition has been thus, in some degree,
disarmed. But a different system once pursued,
universal resistance is sure to follow, and then
certain annihilation will be the lot of the French
army.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]

The removal of the Duke d'Angouleme from
Madrid to Seville, announced in the Paris
Papers, is supposed to have for object a negociu.
tion with the Cortes. Judging of that body from
the spirit it has hitherto displayed, we should
suppose there is little chance of any proposi•
tion from the Duke being listened to for a mo.

meat. The truth is, the Cortes know very well
that they must either succeed or prepare them.
selves for the scaffold. There is in fact no medium.
The Cortes, by receiving the law from an in-
vader, would thereby deprive themselves of all
authority over their countrymen, and become
even contemptible in their eyes. To them would
necessarily be imputed all the calamities of the
invasion ; for as they both knew and confessed
they had no means of preventing the march of the
French from one extremity of the country to the
other,if they did not mean to hold out to the last ex-
tremity, it would have been far more advisable to
treat with the enemy before the invasion than after
it. Indeed men who could be capable of such ire-

becility us to refuse to listen to any terms before
the invasion, and to change their mind after it
had taken place, without any circumstance hav-
ing, occurred on which they did not calculate,
would deserve all the contempt that could pos.
sibly be heaped on them.—We may be sure that
the Duke d'Angouleme will offer no terms to the
Constitutionalists which will not involve the pre.
ponderance of the servile party—the party which
abhors every thing that savours of knowledge,
improvement and civilization. All that are even
moderately enlightened, are for the Constitution,
while their opponents are a few imbecile Gran-
dees, the Priests, and a brutal and ferocious,
rabble. To give a preponderance to such men
would be to cut off Spain from all hope of im-
provement. It is only from the preponderance
of the Liberals that Spain can hope to appear to
any advantage among the nations. To negociate
then with the Duke d'Angouleme is to give
to the Servile Party all that they' could
gain by the most complete success on the
part of themselves and their French allies.—

The Duke, as we have said, will tale
care to secure the preponderance to his
allies. But if he were even inclined, he cannot
by any arrangement leave the parti equally
balanced. The balance of powers in a state is
an absurdity which no one would now think of
seriously maintaining. The power of the Monks
must be annihilated, if we would wish to see Spain
happy and prosperous. They have regularly taken
possession of their Convents in the districts where
the French have the superiority ; but they must

be driven :from them and unfrocked. We may
be sure, however, that the Duke d'Angouleme
will never consent to the purification of Spain
from these pests, which is, so indispensably ne-
cessary to it. The Journal des Debuts speculates
as to the manner in which Sir Robert Wilson
shall be disposed of,should he fall into the hands
of the French. It will be time enough to dis-
cuss this question when they catch him.

[MORNING HERALD.]
There is a fact of some interest stated in the
Paris news received yesterday. It is, that the
Duke of Angouleme was to leave Madrid on the
28th, and that the preparations for his departure
Ihad been peremptorily ordered. Seville is the
place to which he proceeds—but the specific pur-
pose is not stated. The Ultra Journal called the
Etoile ascribes his departure to intelligence receiv-
ed from Cadiz. As to the character of this intel-
ligence, the Journal pronounces that it must be
favourable, for that the Prince" looked pleased."
In connection with the Duke of Angouleme's
going to Seville, the same Paper mentions the
prevalence of rumours that the King would soon
be free—nay, that he actually was set at liberty.
But even the Etude does not suggest the least
foundation for these reports—and the probability
is that they are pure fabrications placed by the
side of the French Prince's departure, in order to
divert attention from the real purpose of his
changing quarters, to suppositions less mortifying
to the Generalissimo, and more favourable to the
French arms. Another Journal ascribes his
movement to " the wish to occupy a more military
position,"—implying no doubt that the aspect of
Spanish affairs recently has obliged him to take up
positions of greater security. But what becomes
of Madrid in the mean time ? Will the Duke
of Angouleme proceed to Seville merely with an
escort I Is it the purpose of his journey to see
and direct the operations before Cadiz under his
own immediate eye ? Such would appear his in.
tention, if one journal may be relied on—for
it states that the newly created Marshal Lau-
riston, who lately reached Bayonne, to take the
command of a fifth French corps, was to succeed
the Duke at Madrid. This would imply that the
main body of the French at Madrid were to remain
there. On the other hand, the Elate, much more
likely to be in the secret of French operations,
states that " orders were given for every thing
to be got ready to march at the first signal "
which naturally suggests the idea that the whole
or greater part of the troops were to be set, in
motion. Now it is %veil known, that the force
left at Madrid, after the 8,000 men of Bour.
moot were detached from the capital of Spain,
in one line, and the 7.000 men of Bordesoulle
in another, upon Seville and Cadiz, must be
very small, and scarcely capable of affording the
Prince a strong escort. It was thought at the
time, that the Duke of Angouleme was in SOIDP
hazard, with so small a number of men, from his
liability to attack by the Constitutional part of
the population, and Guerillas in that quarter.—..
It may hence be presumed that he wiihdraws
the whole of the French troops from Madrid,
leaving the Regency, to be protected by
the bravery of the men of the Faith. With
such a force for their protection, the Empe.
cinado may be tempted to visit them. It ap-
pears by their own accounts in the Madrid
Gazette, that this Chief was hovering at no great
distance from the capital .waiting, as they in-
sinuate, the result of the pretended plot to

The plot to fire the church, and dispose of the
Duke of Angouleme, in an auto-dot-fe, seems to
be a convenient pretence to imprison those whom
they call suspected persons at Madrid. The
farce has been carried so far as to address the
Duke upon his " providential escape." It was
something like the officer's escape of being
killed at the battle of Dettingen, by his having
been sent providentially, some days before, upon
a distant party. The best of it is, that a
woman,their own showing, was at her
who, foragingon
devotions in the church when the fire broke
out, and to whose evidence they appeal, escaped
without the slightest injury—and, indeed, as it
would seem, without the least alarm. They have
taken a further precaution, which is likely, how.
ever, to recoil upon themselves. An order of the
Regency, that all volunteers of militia, though
they had abandoned the service and the Cortes,
and all secularised monks—in other words,
monks who will not resume' the cowl and the
frock, should quit Madrid. But this will only
add to the bands of Constitutional guerillas,
which bad started up in the province of Gua-
dalaxara.
