had done ; the-happinegs of the nation ouglit to
be the paramount 'concern; -that the 'Krug 'Was
created for the nation, and not the nation ibrthe
'Lug; that this doctrine was so true, that'll for the
happiness itf the nation it should be 'necessary for
• Ferdinand VII. to die an innocent vi6tim, be ought
Su to devote iiimselt.—[This excited 'considerable
uproar'; upon which the President touched the bell,
p and commanied silence]. ,
Senor ViLLAGONIEZ declared, that the proposition
of Garcia Herreros was blasphemy, and Most inju-
rioes to the .king.
Toe PnestoENT-said, from the. Chair, that besclid
not bdievc Senor Garcia Herreros had any intention
of speaking injuriously of the sacred person of the
ping; if otherwise, he. would not have suffered it,
not only as President, but as a Deputy, as a Soldier,
and as one.of int !aloof the Spaniards.
Senor *GARCIA t/UINTANA read a paper, in which
he declaied that he. had-been long and intimately ac-
• quaintcd with the Marquis ; that lee had looked
upon him as a very honourable and good Spaniard,
oti which account he had voted (or him as Regent ;
but yet he was of opinion that a Commission should
be appointed to try him, and to punish him severe-
ly if disobedience or. denial of the sovereignty was
proved.

The Senors DUENAS., TRAVER, GUTIERREZ DE
LA- HUERTA, VILLAFANE, and others, declared as
their opinion, that it did not belong to the Cortes to
try the Marquis, A Deputy added, that they ought
not to be Members of the Council of Castile, for
they did not happen to be persons with whom he
was satisfied. The President touched the bell, and
declared that he was not itt order. Another Deputy
said, that as little should the Judges be of those who
had taken the oaths to the Intruder.
Senor MUNOZ TORRERO demanded that it should
be declared, that the matter had been sulliciently
disi•ussed ; that the Maiquis de Palacio had lost the
confidence of the nation, and that therefore another,
should be immediatelyaopointed- to replace him in
the Regency. The subjt,..ct. was ,declared to be
sufficiently discussed ; and it Was then voted almost
unaninidusly,* that, another should be-chosen in his j

room.
The PRESIDENT acquainted the Congress, that in
the name of the Marquis a paper. witbopt date or
sighature hail been handed to hiM,, in which it was
slated that be Was at present in an apartment, damp
and: withont any seat,, to.the injury. of his health
and begging_ that), upon his parole of honour, he
might -be permitted,. to be in his own house with
a sentinel over him. .A
debate arose whether his
petition-should be granted, and whether he should
remain in the,. guard-house, or 'be
.taken to some
,
more proper place.
The CONDE. pETLTEN4VISTA and Senor, MEXIA
observed, that regard being had to the •charaCter of
the*Mai;quis, and to the righewhich parole of. honour
had with military men, it appeared. conformable to
the generosity of his Majesty .te.perniit.hiru ,to go to
his own hcuse under his,parole. .
Senor CANEJ.t opposed this, saying that the pa-
role of honour was pot Sufficient, when; it Was•so
important to secure the persopi and prevent com-
munication. He added, by, the bye, that be had
heard with disquiet, the whole night, time words
Senor Marquis so often repeated.. Before his 1114-
jesty, no one should be called Senor, and still less
a pet son accused. ,
,
The question *eat was to be dope with the Mar-
quis, wai at last put to the vote; and it. was de-
cided that be should remain in his own house upon
his parole of honour, and under a,geard. • :With
regard to the chief point, it was determined, that the
Coirirei tee of Justice should be called upon to pro-
pose what it might judge, proper. An order was
then given at half past two in the morning- for
strangers to withdraw, and -the secret` sitting..con-
tinued till three in the morning. .
SITTING OF ,OCTOBER 29, ‘.
The Session being opened at eleven' in the morn.;
ing, a letter. was read which conveyed a recognition
of the Cortes, and tie faking of the oaths; by the
Bishop of Badajoz, the CabildO, and other bodies of
that city. A plan was read, the objeal of 'which Was
to fit out patriotic privateers for scouring the coast
of the enemy. it was transmitted. to the ComMit-
tee of Titmice, as -was also a memorial friim the Mar-
quis del Palacio,' in which -he endeavoUred to clear.
himself and vindicate his chara6ter. •
The Junta of Catalonia begged 'that 'the 'epee
speedy means might be taken to adjust the appoli4a
mem of SuppleMentary Deputies for that- Principa-
lity, ;being desirous that it should not be destittite of
that voice and representation which it ought
have Lin the Cortes. This request was tranamitteal
to the Committee of Powers, it -being at eirsione
time, resolved, that Orders should be givenlo theti
Council of Regency, to hasten the speedy 4xrhF44.
of some Deputies who were still wanting for the
Mediterranean provinces.
This being finished,' the 12th and 13th articles of
the plan for the liberty of the press, with 'regard to
the'penalties on printers, underwent a• rigorous ex-
amination. They were at last approved of with
tome slight modifications.
It.was one o'clock when the public sitting was
closed, and it then continued secret till twos, at
which hour the . public were admitted. 'The Mar-
quis of .Castelar then preaented himielf, and the de-
cree Was read by which the Cortes eleeeled him, On
the preceding night, Regent. ad interim, till 'the
arrival of his Excellency Senor Blake. : He made
the acknowledgment, took the oath "in the pre-
scribed form, was put in possessio'n of his office,
went forth accompanied by two Deputies and a
Secretary to the Flail of the Council of Regency and
the sitting was closed.

, • ' Yesterday•after atxrPaper was at Press, Dispatches
were received at Lord LIVERPOOL'S Office, from Sit•
Jolt N STEWART,,, in Sicily we were, therefore) only
enabled to state the substance of thein in a part of
our impression, we therefore think it neCessary to
insert it-again.

" WAR. DZI'ARTMRNT, NOV. 11, JBlO.
`" A Dispatch has been this morning received
from Lieutenant-General' Sir JOHN STHwArtT,! dated
Messina, 22d Sept. ism, reporting, that at day-
on the morning of the 18th Sept. the great
bddy of the enemy's flotilla appeared to be pre-.
paring an atte-npt at landing between Messina and
the Faro. While their movements engaged
the attention of the .main body of the British
force, a debarkation was .effeaed by a detachment.,

under General CAVIGNAC, near St. Stef,ino, about

seven miles to the Southward. This corps consitt-
ed, of about 3500 men, Corsican and Neapolitan
troops, -who-had crossed the SGeights in about 40
large boats, and gained the Sicilian shore before the
dawn.
" Upon the first alarm, Major-General CAMP.-

pELL had repaired to the menaced quarter, where

he found the German Riflemen engaged with the
enemy, and the 21s1 litgiment, and part of the
3d Germans, occupying the post of Mili, to pre-
vent the advance of the French upon Messina,
as well as the mounlain. passes above it. As day
broke, lie perceived the enemy already on the
heights, and extending from thence to the beach ;
but shortly after they began to waver, and .those
nearest the boats to commence a precipitate em-
barkation, in .consequence of a sudden and Vigo-.
rout attack made upon their flank, by, the 2d•.Bat-
talion of Light Infantry, under Lieutenant-colonel
Ftscnca.

" Major-General CAMPBELL observing this move-
ment of irresolution, pushed forward wiih the 2 Ist
Regiment, and 3d Germans, , alone the beach, and
thus succeeded in cutting off all the enemy's troops
who•had-gained the heights, besides some whom
the boats abandoned.

" We have taken about goo prisoners, including
a Colonel, and, two Officers of the General Staff,
together with tkecolours of the Corsican Legion.
I;3esides these, the enemy lost many in killed
and wounded, particularly in the boats pulling off'
from the shores.

" Of the British only three private soldiers ,were

wounded.

" General CAMPBELL speaks in high terms of the
conduct of Lieut.••Colohels ADAM and FISCHER,
and of Captain A'Coußr. He also reports the zeal
and enthusiasm shewn by the peasantry of 'the
neighbouring villages, who came down with the
greatest alacrity.to the assistance of our troops."

This official account fully justifies the observations
we made when we read MURAT'S account of this
" brilliant achievement," as he calls it, viz, that IA e
were convinced that the greater part, if not the, wholu
of those who landed, had been either killed or made

prisoners. MuttaT, in hit statement, says, that
when he 'Made the signal for the troops that had
landed in Sicily to re-embark, they obeyed it with
Stiott uncommon alacrity, that only a few were left
behind. Now it turns out that no less than 900
were taken prisoners. The [lumber of killed and
wounded, we should suppose, must have been very
great, because, as it was a dead calin, the boats
must have been some time before they got out of
the range of our artillery. •
A GizzeUe gztraordinary will be published this af.
ternoon, with Sir Jon STEWAAVS Dispatches.
The Gaze& will also, contain the _whole .of the
Dispatches froin Lord WELLINGroN.

We stated some days ago, that a letter from BER.
THIERTO,MASSeNA had been intercepted, in which
the latter was prdered, in the most peremptory
Manner, to attack the English, and drive them out
of Portugal. We are this day enabled to lay that
letter before our readers, and we can' undertake; to
pledge ourselves for ,its authenticity. It appears
from this Letter that, as early, as -the oth of Sep-
tember BUONAPARTE was dissatisfied with the.slow.
progress that MASSENA was making, for BERTHIER'S
Letter is .by no means- couched in civil terms, or
such as one Prince might to use to another. He.
blames MASSeNA for not attacking the English bold-
ly,and 'tells him that he has more cavalry and artil-
lery in-his army than is necemry. - But if &JONA-
PARTE Was impatient on the -16-th of Sepie4ber,
what must he .be now, when the two armies have '
been above o month close to each other withont.
iVIAssENA's having-dared to make'an aitack I. It is
obvious that BIYON'APARTS did not consider the Por-
tuguese ttoops a Worthy of notice; they are not
even mentioned in BRRTHIRR'S Letter; their beha-
viour, however, at Busaco;and on many subsequent
occasions, must have convinced both MASSEN4 and
his Master that they a:e not only be counted as •
soldiers, but- to be dreaded as formidable cipponents.

The Tallot sloop of war has arrived at the Cove
pf Cork froth Lisbon; whence she sailed on Wed.
nesday the 7th instant; to which 'Hate rici, battle had
taken plate. Both armies were near each other in
dreadful suspense. The Auclaciout, of 74 guns, and
a number of our gun-boats, had gone up the Tagus,
and were cannonading the left of the French ling.--
Several of the Officers dined on board the Talbot,
and spoke with, a degree of confidence as to the re.
result of the battle, whenever it may happen.

Yesterday we received, some Dutch Papers of , a
late date, one of which contains the following
