[MORNING POST.]
Srma.—Those who have experience in Spa-
nish affairs, join with us in declaring the ball to
be still rising in the Peninsula. No man with a
a geographical, statistical, or military acquaint-
ance with Spain, ever expected the Cortes to re-
main at Seville ;—they selected Seville from its
position on the high road to Cadiz—the citadel
of Spanish principle—the keep of her ho-
nour. Nothing would be more natural than
the progress of the French Army ; the simple
matter of surprize is, that the enemy have
proceeded so tamely in their way.. It was the
business of the Spanish Chiefs to let them pass,
and of all evils to avoid the issue of a battle.
Tako.Southey's accurate statements of the dis-
persion of the Spanish armies in 1808, and see
*how :experience has taught them to avoid such
visitations. If the Spaniards are really divided,
why has no single fortress been given up, or car-
ried by the sword ? Frederick the Great said,
no place was so strong but that a beast laden
with, gold could get into it. Have not the
French tried corruption ? But the Spaniards, if
they do net chew the front of organized, equip-
ped,, and well•ofliicered troops, manifest en-
duran►ce: and incorruptible integrity. The interest
is increased and daily increases : Palifox is at
Cadiz-,-," War to the knife" will be again the
cry; and we shall now see what the French
array, with 700 miles of country, and garrisons
it their rear, and Guerillas acting on their flanks,
and 'cutting off their supplies, and the hero An-
gouleme at their tail, will do against Cadiz. But
come what may, the Genius of Liberty, with the
monarchical principle in her heart, would rise
out of her ashes, should tyranny or treason turn
or betray the fortress of the Sunny Land.

The Spanish Lail, through France, arrived
yesterday in regular order, and brought letters
from Madrid of the 3d instant., from Seville of
the 28th, and from Cadiz and St. Mary's OT the
'27th ult, General Bordesoult, who occupied
St. Mary's with his division of the French army,
,at that time permitted occasional communication
with Cadi2, to individuals having business to
transact there, but meditated in the course of a
few days, the restriction of all intercourse—a
statement agreeinE(*th "hat has appeared in the
French Papers, respictiiig. the actual commetice.

to 'leave the city and join Ballasteros ; the guar-
Ter was however, adjusted, and Znyas remained
at his post. This want of cordiality between so
distioguished an officer and the Government had
produced much despondency respecting the result
of the struggle. Even Members of the Cortes,
90ine of whom have written by this. Mail to their
friends in England, appear to partake strongly of
this feeling. They do not scruple to express an
anxiety to make terms with the French, the most
favourable that may yet be possible for the con-
stitutional cause, and are even prepared, should
their propositions for a negotiation not to be
lis-
toned to, to surrender at discretion. We are
persuaded, however, that this is not the senti-
ment of a majority in the Cortes, and that there
may sluff be hopes of an effectual resistance to
the French-before Cadiz. The Spanish letters,
probably through fear of the agents of the post-
office in,France, are ivritten with much reserve,
and are extretnely,detic,ient in information. We
think we can collect fiom them, that even shoulrf
the Cortes and alivernmott at Cadiz be Over.

thrown, there will VPMEI tit me country the ele-
ments, of a sue cesgul resistance to the French
founde4;in the natural antipathy of the
Spaniards and IThiinclination to receive any go-
irernment,,of their dictation. Most of the Gene-
rals, being withheld .hy the state of the country
from communication with the Government, are

preparing for the partisan warfare, so congenial
to the Spanisli.character, and for the defence of
those provinces .in which they chance to be
placed. One incautious or unpoptilar act on the
part of the,French, or their mock Regency at
Madrid, play still unite the Peninsula in arms
against them, aud.ruin their whole enterprise.

[MORNING CHRONICLE.]
Letters have been received in town from
Oporto, dated the 3d instant, which mention
that considerable confusion and 'discontent pre.
Veiled in the;place, inconsequence of the licen-
tious and, alarming conduct of the soldiery. A
serious commotion was, hi fact, apprehended, for
all,the middle classes in society felt indignant at
the vtirricidal and traitorous act the troops had
cOtnmitted, i,a heingAnitrurriental in the destruc-
tion of that code of laws vvhich was the only hut-
wark they had against despotism. The persons
.id authority felt equally alarmed, seeing the

Porttigal, the' more are ,we convinced that the
counter-revolution was, the work of various com-
bined causes,• of a temporary, and, indeed; unna.

tural character. The entry of the French into
Spain—the great alterations whichlhe new insti-
tutions had produced in the situation, and even
the incomes of the Nobles, higher Clergy, as
well as in the King's Court, and in the
several branches of the public Adminis-
tion the indifference and apathy observable
in the mass of the people accustomed to act
and judge more from habit, or the instigation of
their superiors, than principle or conviction—
French gold, distributed with a profuse hand,
and more particularly the demoralization, incon-
stancy and rebellious spirit of the soldiery, added
to the perfidy and ambition of their Commander,
himself one of the active regenerators in Oporto
on the 24th of August, 1820---the intrigues of
the, Queen—and, finally, the manoeuvre of a
party who had flattered and gained .over the
Prince to their interests, were the combined
causes which led to the overthrow of the Consti-
tution of Portugal. These causes, however,
operated only on the lower orders, the Nobles,
higher Clergy, and the soldiery, without in the
least affecting the middle classes, those who
know how to read and write, and are in all
countries the most to be counted, on.

[NEw TIMES.I
The latestaccounts from Madrid concur with
all that we had previously heard of the disposi-
tion of the People of Spain to adhere to the Re-
gency ; but they at the same time confirm what
we have all along stated of the exhaustion of the
national resources. The Rebels do not hesitate
to supply their necessities by downright robbery
and sacrilege ; but a legitimate Government
cannot resort to these odious means of support.
It will be long before any party can establish
an efficient system of finance in Spain ; and
the desire of conciliating all parties, however
amiable or prudent in itself, must prevent the
4/04ency from throwing the burthen where it
ought in justice to fall—on the leaders and prin.
ciplti adherents of the Rebellion of 18‘20.—It is
intilMatea that the Regency or their friends wish
to adopt sanguinary or vindictive measures; and
that they are opposed in this by the Duke of
Angouleme. We doubt the fact. Possibly they
may see more clearly than his Royal Highness
the necessity of certain measures of security.
They may even feel that the great interests of.
justice and humanity demand some mark of espe-
cial reprobation 'on wretches who have dis.
graced humanity like the cold-blooded but-
cher Mina. 'Let it never be forgotten that
this monster has disgraced his age and
country, by the wanton and savage murder of
hundreds of his defenceless cduntry‘ men. To him
are most distinctly applicable the worth of the
great
,Burke--." The very first foundation of
settlement. must be to call to a strict account
those bloody and' inercilesi °Menders. Without
•it, Government cannot stand a year. People
little consider'thi) utter impossiiMity of. getting
• thosei fiaviog';,. emerged from very low,
some from the lowest classes of Society, have
exercised4,pory,er so high And with so unrelent-
ing;and rage, quietly to'fall back into
theft- old .franks, and become humble, peaceable
laboriouSond useful members of society." Some
persons fear that the traitors in Cadiz will murder
their So,vgreign.. Desperate and fanatical as some
of them are, we believe that the great mass will
not tolerate such a crime. A short period will
probably produce the surrender of the town : and
it would he madness in the rebels not to preserve
the Royal person, in order to obtain the more
favourable terms on their, surrender.
