We extract the following important document
from a Madrid Gazette, of the 29th ult., receiv-
ed last night. The Duke d'ANGouwit has at
length, with his own hand, exhibited the mock
Regency in its-true character, that Of the crest::
ture of,.his will, and the mere pUPPet Of his
military projects, employed only for. the Purposi3
of facilitating. the subjugation of the Peninsula:
The. language of a military Dlctator, hoWever,
assumed.' by the Prince GeneraMalmo, and the
licentious arrogance with Witieh he has assigned
to his lieutenant* the suprerbi! 'command even over
provinces not yet visited by the French arms, Cali
have no other effect than to render the Regency
salt more odious and contemptible than it had al-
redly become by its own frantic proceedings, arid
to give AM greater intensity- to the spirit of resist-
ance
to the foreigners, which is already bhqing
with so much fierceness through Out Spain. The
appearance of this document, just four days be-
fore the Prince's departure from Madrid, warrants
the suspicion that he intended the execution of
that, part of it which is assigned to the Regency,
tin 1)(' the last act of sovereignty exercised by its
44 Serene Highness," antrthat after it has thus
been employed to give a colour of legality to the
conduct of the French Agents in the provinces,
it will be wholly abandoned by its parent,
patron, and protector, the Duke d'Amootn.iitE!

" By order of his Royal Highness;
"Count de GUILI,IiMINOT, Major-General.
" Head-quarters, Madrid, July 24."
From the miscellaneous inforMation in the
Madrid Grtzefte, we select the following pas.
Sages:— • .

" The Government has received information that thelm-
portant health. of their Majesties and their Royal Highnesses
continued, on the 21st, 22d, and 23d current,, unchanged;
"The communications with Cadiz becoming daffy nlore
and the blockade more strict, wheaten bread has in
consequence already risFn to 10 or 20 re:ll4;Fr pound. The
other articles of the first necessity have risen in the:same
proportion.
" On the 21st, an Engli3b ship, luider a flitg of triiee, -entered
the Port of Cadiz. The object of her rrtission has been theStib-
ject of touch conversation.
" At two o'clock yesterday morning, the Duke of Angou-
leme left Madrid for Seville. From this deterinination'of his
!loyal Highness, we arc induced to encourage the mat firour--.
able hopes, since we cannot but flatter ourselves, that it may
prove a powerful means of more proniptly, obtaining the de-
liverance of our beloved King and Royal rattily, and putting a
stop to tbe:evils which afilict.the country.
" For this reason the Regency pf the kingdom has made the
requisite arrangements for providing his
,Royal' Highneis,
his-retinue, and the troops which ttecomynny hrui throughout
the whole of the rout.e, with, every, thing neceitutry for the
journey, and for paying that honour y,fltich is due to thz. high ,
dignity and character of so Magnininious a deliveier, Who has
come to rc.establisb tranquility and order amongst us, at the
expense of innumerable fatigues and sacrifices,"

The following is .an extract frin n a private fet.
er received yesterday from Patris4Tre;
PAWS, A untisr 4. _ -!,.
A considerable bustle was created at the Botirse this day,' by
the announced failure of one of the most respectable agen.t 41e
Change, M. Clairet. He has failed tai a large Amount.
Government still preserves the most profound silence on the
affairs of Galicia, and pretends to have received no dispatches
from Catalonia but It is knOWn that. both Chateatibriand and
complain'of the want Of energy displayed by the French
commanders, and the inhabitants of the Tuileries.speaknpenly
of the threatening aspect of Mika-ilia Galicia and Catalonia..
The only intelligence that GoiternMent pretends to have
received
,is the arrival „of. the Duke of Angouleme at,Ocagria.
Not a word,is said about Baltasteros in our Alinisterial Paper",
though it is confidently reported that hi is marching withopt
obstacles against Cordova with 20,000 nien, and may probably
cause spme danger to, die Duke of Angoulerne's .further pro-
,Om southward . kir the ate fire at, Nadriti, the .French officers
made great eflbrts to save the houses contiguous to the church,
—they demanded water from the spectators, Who coolly looked
en the progress of the flames. Water Was given them, but
Many of the officeis died next day, from the poisonous ingre-
dients the Spaniards mingletllvith it. Such is the account ;
but cold water taken hastily, after violent exertion, might have
produced the mine effect.. p. .
T4e following authentic fasts relative to the French expendi-
ttire in Spain, have been obtained from the highest authority.
',lndependent of other means, the party now at the head OF
affairs ht France, who have declared and carried on war against
Spain, will find that war a Most efficacious measure for,tbe
in-
definite extension of the public debt: The contracts Matte with
Ouvrard are hot only mostruinoue to the treastiey4for this con.
tractor is certain of obtaining a profit of 40 millions in. the
course of the year; but the consequences are most calamitous
towards the wretched inhabitants of the countries occupied by
the krencli army. The agents pf ,Ouvrurd are scattered over
the provinces of Sintin, and raise contributions in kind from
the inhabitants, which the agents sell for cash to the Prenelt
troops, and, all this without any order from the French GO-
v,erninent, or Any accounts of the sums thus extorted.: In the
beginning of July the Duke of 13elluno, the Minister of War,
addressed a precise account of this wretched syStem .t 6 the
Connell of Ministers, anti on the 111th of the tame month, Sent
the Duke of Angotileme very strong representations against the
terms of Ouvrard's contracts, anti the depredations committed
by his agents. Ile dwelt on the necessity or annulling the con.
tract, both for,the,interest of the treasury, and the:peitee And
quiet of theAmnish people._ He said in council that he held
his hOneur compromised by such conduct, and would a thou-
sand limes rather resign Ins office than give his approbation or
sign his name to such scandalous abuses.lbis
langhage was but natural from the man, the best quali7
fled from hie situation to know the exact athount of the expences
of the war, and who had• already given a statement In open
council, of the amount of these on the first. day of July.. " on
the lst of July these expences amounted to two bundreti and
three millions of &tines,'in which were included neither the
additional pay granted to the. army, ,rips the enormous chargei
of Falling the veterans into active service, nor the charges of the
army of reserve, nor finally the sums necessary to commence
the sieges of Cadiz, Pampeluna, Saint Sebastian, anti several
places in Catalonia, without the possession of which the mare',
of the Il'rencli army in Spain becomes every day more and more
dangerous.
These various expontes cannot (at the Idwest caletilatiOn)• be
rated at less than one hundred and twenty millions; and the
subsequent expences,,supposing the campaign to confirm.; being
at least as high as one hundred- and eight millions more, it is
impossible that the war in the Peninsula (even if not prolonged
beyond the beginning of October) pin cost France less than five
huh recd or five hundred and fifty nuilions of francs.
These enormous charges, brought on a whole people by the
frantic ambition of, a fanatical few, will be probably concealed
in a certain degree in the aecounts presented to the Chamber of
Deputies ; and it is certain that the contracts with Ouvrard are
so utterly shameless fur thoie concerned, that' the greatest care
will be taken to throW a veil over the subject. .But Ouvrard
f
was an active agent, fin-tile in resources, anti careless in the
mode of payment,mtivided
payment was made. He has lent
the Regency three millions and a halt. already, for they were
entirely without resources, As. they were without army and
without Consideration and, i they had not given up the duties
would have put a hasty • one union to the tyranny of the Rd-
of the ociroi at Madrid, the opulace of that king-loving city,
geney, by measuring its members.

The subscription which we some time ago stat-
ed to be opened at Madrid, for QUZSEDA'S band,
appears to have been very unproductive. The
partisans of absolute poweri thotigh willing

enough to proie their loyally by robbing, ap-
pear to have nothing, to give for the support of
their cause. The Gazette complains that 44 this
" meritorious division ivhich has rim& 'such
44 great sacrifices to restore to Spain her reli-
gion, her King, and her tranquillity, is no lOn'ger
" enabled to continue its efforts, in cot sequence
" of its being naked and destitute of eyery tuna
cg of equipment." It is then said-0 With the
44 greatest joy of our hearts we see the inhibit-
" ants hasten to succAr this division, as far
" and even farther than their Means permit ;
44 but ire also with horror perceise that many
0; who offered the Jacobin faction every kind
44 of personal and pecuniary service, now
46 either refuse with haughtiness, or even with
cc score to assiit those worthy Spaniards; or, if
" they give any. thing, It seems to be for the I,!nr-
" pose Of rendering more public their insole4e and
Ti contemptuous rudeness." This in the official
paper of the Re'gency is a remarkable testimony 'j
of the extent to which attachment to the Coofti-
tution is displayed by the retpectable part of the
community, notwithstanding the outrages com,-
Mitted by the rabble tinder the influence of the
Prlests. •
