MAIL BY THE HIGHLAND ROAD.

We understand that a Memorial of the following
import is in progress of signature by the several
parties interested, for obtaining the establishment of
a Mail Coach on the Crieff and Tay-bridge Road to
Dalnacardoch,--there to meet the Mail Coach about
to be established from Perth by Dunkeld and Blair,
to Inverness.

To the Right Honourable his Majesty's
Postmaster-General. •
The Memorial of the Trustees on the Turnpike Road
from►. Crioff, ley Tay-bridge, and Tummel-bridge,
to Dalnacardoch, in the county of Perth, North
Bribtio.

We, whose names are hereunto subscribed,—
Trustees on the said road,—Proprietors of Lands in
the course thereof, and Creditors in the Monies ex-
pended, and Debts contracted for making it, under-
standing that it is proposed toestablish a Mail
Coach on the great line of toad, recently completed,
from Carlisle by Lanark and Cumberland to Stir-
ling,—beg leave to express our opinion of the public
importance and utility of establishing thereon, that
mode of conveying the mail, as affording the most
direct and expeditious means Of communication
from the Western and Central Districts of Perth-
shire, and the remoter Northern parts of the king-
dom, with the markets, manufactures, and commerce
of the Southern Counties of Scotland, and with
England and Ireland ; being the direct route from
the Highlands towards Falkirk, Glasgow, Carlisle,
Manchester, and Liverpool.
But we are chiefly solicitous to submit to the at-
tention of those Departments of Government from
which the proposed establishment of a mail coach
from Carlisle to Stirling must emanate (we allude
to those of the Post-office and Treasury), the infi-
nitely encreased utility and importance of that estab-
lishment, were it extended northward from Stirling
by Crieff, Tay-bridge sad Tummel-bridge, along the
Turnpike-road, now completed to Dalnacardoch,—
at which place it would meet the mail, which, it is
hoped, will soon be established between Perth and
Inverness, by Dunkeld and Blair; ,as to which, the
memorialists desire explicitly to.state, that their pre-
sent application is in no manner opposed,—in as
much as, the .Dunkeld mail is calculated to open a
communication from Edinburgh and Perth, by the
direct route to Inverness; whereas the object of the
memorialists is, to obtain a similar mode of commu-
nication from Carlisle and Glasgoiv, by Crieff and
Tay-bridge to Dalnacardoch, at which place the two
coaches would meet, and from which the mail would
be conveyed by one coach to Inverness.
May it therefore please your Lordships to extend
the proposed establishment of a mail coach between
Carlisle and Stirling to Dalnacardoch by Crieff, Tay_
liridge, and Tummel-bridge,

FRENCH PAPERS.
(From the Gazette de France, dated Sunday.)

TRIESTE, OCT. 2,—Letters from Zante, of the
23d of September, state, that the English sqUadion
under Admiral' Codrington, is before ..Navarino, and
has surnamed Ibrahim not to undertake' any thing
at present with the aid of the expedition- from Alex-
andria. Though Ibrahim and the Capitan Bey have
declared that they were to receive orders only from
Constantinople, the position of the English squadron,
and its warlike attitude, will infallibly hinder the .ex-
pedition from -attacking. Hydra.. Ibrahim has sent
,foar Tartars to Constantinople, to acquaint the
Government'of the message 'of The English Admiral,
and we are.curious to learn what -resolution the
Porte will take in consequence of this event, which
indicates a serious beginning of the intervention.

OCT. 3.—News froM Coifu of the 25th Septem--
ber, but of Greek origin, announce that the French
and English squadrons, stationed off Navarino, suffered
nothing to go in or out. A Tunisian frigate having
attempted to leave the port, . after the notice had
been given it in vain, received a broadside from an
English frigate and put back. Lord Cochrane con-
tinues his operations, and has made himself master
of Anatolico and Vassiladi. The Russian squa-
dron arrived on the 18th at Napoli di Romania, and
was saluted-by the Greeks with an enthusiasm not
to be described.

Such is the news given by the Greeks, which
will be very important if confirmed,
,for they would
leave no doubt of the serious resolution of the Powers,
and the broadside fired by the English frigate would
be the commencement of hostilities.
ANCONA, SEPT. 28.—The steam-boat arrived
to-day, in fifty hours from Corfu. Merchants' let-
ters say, that the Egyptian fleet is most strictly
'blockaded by the' English fleet at Navarino. Lord
Cochrane, with twenty-eight Greek ships, had gone
towards Missolonghi, and taken 'Anatolia) and Vas-
siladi. A courier, who left Constantinople on the
6th of September, had arrived at Janina, with. news
that the Porte had rejected the proposals of the
three Powers.—Augsburgh Gazette. •
PITYCERDA, OCT. 6.—A Decree, of the King of
Spain was received here yesterday morning, order-
ing the Agraviados to lay down their arms in 24
hours, on pain of being shot, in case of refusal, con-
formably to the ordonnance,of the 12th September,

This decree has been notified to Don Mariano
Villela, chief of the rebels, by our former Governor,
who was at Bourg-Maclaine,. OUr town was eva-
cuated yesterday evening, to the great joy of all the
inhabitants, and the insurgents' took the road to
Vich, where, it is said, they are going to lay down
their arms. All the inhabitants who had quitted the
town have again taken possession of their houses,
and every thing passed. .very quietly. I will only
observe, that our former Aka(le, faithless to the
duties of his place, had joined the rebels and re-
mained with them. Seeing the 'evacuation of the
town by the Agraviados, and fearing merited punish-
ment, he fled towards the frontiers of France, hilt
the inhabitants themselves pursued, him, and took
from him the sum of 12,900 francs; the fruits of his
plunder.
We hear from. Barcelona, 'that in a single day
2,000 Agraviados went to Tarragona, and joined the
King's troops, and that 5.,000 regular troops have
already entered Manresa.
Letters from Reus, near Tarragona, say, that a
great division of the insurgents had refused to obey
his Majesty's orders, that they were warmly pursued
by three Generals commanding the Royal troops,
dispersed and cut to pieces, .with,the exception of
about 600 men, who saved themselves by flight,
and entered Tarragona to make their subinismon,
and to deliver up their arms. The great focus of
the rebellion is at present in the environs of Manresa;
the people are greatly agitated in that whole coun-
try, and extreme irritation prevails.
SEU D'URGEL, OCT. 6.—The French garrison
has disarmed the Custom-house officers of Puycerda,
and of t'ie other surrounding posts, who had taken
refuge in our town. A very considerable party of
Agraviados has appeared during these three days, in
the village ortiiserail. It is affirmed that they have
bought sheep at 40 francs a piece.—Echo du Midi.
BARCELONA, OCT. '3.-011 Sunday, the 30th, we
had an alarm. Six or eight hundred rebels came to
St. Andre de Palomar, a village one league from
Barcelona, and levied contributions. Another de-
tachment did the same at Clot, a little village half a
league off, and under the guns of Fort Pean, an
outwork of Barcelona. The Governor was obliged
to shut the gates. Some Agraviados ventured to
pursue upon the glacis some citizens, who sought
the protection of our sentinels. - People went on the
ramparts to look at them. General_ Reizet sent out
the 10th Regiment, which went to ,St. Andre with
a squadron of chasseurs, and two cannon. A batta-
lion of the 16th regiment marched to Sarria.
General D'Urband Misson commanded this sally.
The rebels retired; there was no rencontre. The
10th regiment will remain some, days out of the city
to observe their motions, and will be successively
relieved by another regiment, till we know what to
think of the submission of the rebels:: we have reason
to expect it, from the effect produced by the arrival
of the King. The inhabitants of Barcelona were
much pleased at the sortie ordered by General Reizet.
The Archbishop and Bishops are going to Tarra-
gona. Rens has been evacuated by the rebels, after
a pretty serious affair; theAnhabitants have been
armed. Those of Tarransa, a very rich town by its
cloth manufactories, have always resisted the attacks
of the rebels, because the workmen were armed.

BARCELONA, OCT. 4.—The report spread now is,
that the Chiefs of the rebels have resolved to lay
dOwn their arms ; if this news be not altogether true,
it may be looked upon as about, to be realised in
part; the King will not have in rail caused the
words of peace to be heard by, the revolted. No
doubt exists that when the troops shAll commence
their operations, the rebels, should they persist in
their obstinacy not to submit, will be obliged to
seek refuge in the mountains; but this course will
only be taken by tip more intractable of them, and
their number will necessarily be very small. Since
the let of this month numbers of the insurgents have
presented themselves at the French outposts before
Barcelona, to lay down their arms sad take advan
tage.of the amnesty. These arms are deposited iu
the arsenal of Barcelona.
On the occasion of the King's arrival at Terra-
gona and that Of the anniversary of the arrival of
the Royal Family at Port St. Mary, there was sung
on the Ist a Te Lenin; in the evening the inhabi-
tants illuminated their houses, in compliance with
an invitation of the GoOmor, M. Villemur.
Count D'Espagne, the new Captain-General of
Catalonia, has just addressed the following procla-
Illation to the inhabitants of the prOince
" Catalans !—The King our master, whom God
preserve, has deigned to appoint me Captain-Gene-
ral of the Army and Principality of Catalonia, and
President of the Royal Audiencia..
" The King, who desires the happiness of the
peek, whom God has. placed under his legitimate,
his paternal, and absolute power, has taken the glo-
rious resolution of coming himself to pacify his
Principality of Catalonia, which is-a precious part
or faithful and Catholic kingdom.

" I invite all the Municipal Bodies, all the Offi-
cers, and Corporations -of the Principality, to go
before his Majesty-, ts_ to pay to the best of Kings the
just and legitimate homage of their fidility, of their'
love, and of their gratitude, and to eubnnt their
complaints to his Sovereign justice.
" Catalans! The loyalty, the obedience, and the
fidelity of Spaniards to their legitimate Kings, l'"ve
always deserved to be held forth as motels;, sustain
this precious and noble reputation : let
Lan hatred
cease; let all unjust suspicions and ill-grounded un-
easiness be at an end, and let industrious Catalonia
offes: to all Europe the picture of a grateful and soli-

missive family, which throws itself at the feet of a
king, the most clement, and of a father, the most
anxious for the happiness of his children.,
(Signed) " The COUNT D'ESPAGNE."
We know that the Col de Balaguer was occupied
by the rebels at the moment when the King crossed
this difficult pass. The carriage of his Majesty was
placed in the midst of seven battalions, commanded
by the Count D'Espagne. By a combined move-
ment, General Manso, coming from Tarragona, was
to have been with his troops at the Col de Balaguer,
at the moment when his Majesty was to make his
appearance. The escort of his Majesty arrived first,
and'a few shots were fired at the advanced guard.
As soon as the King heard the firing, he left the
carriage, mounted his horse, and, drawing his sword,
put himself at the head of the" battalions, which
charged the rebels; the latter did not stand for a mo-
ment, but dispersed themselves on every side. The
example shewn by his Majesty has raised the spirit
of the troops, and this act of courage has caused a
sensation upon the public mind, which will have a
powerful influence on the affairs of the province.
P. S.—We this instant learn, and in the most po-
sitive manner, that eight thousand rebels have come
before the authorities in different places and given
up their arms. His Majesty is every moment ex-
pected at Barcelona; his presence will excite the
most lively enthusiasm in the population of this
faithful town.

(From tho_ConstitutionneL)

BARCELONA, OCT. 3.—The diligence from Per-
pignan arrived yesterday, after having passed through
several villages occupied by the insurgents without
having met the least insult.
The blockade of Girona continues : the diligence
alone is permitted to enter and depart from it..
The submission of 800 Carlists in the neighbour-

hood of Tarragona is certain ; that will bring with
it the greater number of the guerillas, more particu-
larly after the dissolution of the Junta of Manresa.
It is thought that the King's stay at Tarragona
will be prolonged; a proof of this has been found in
the order which it is said has been given to have the
Queen come. The motive of this prolongation, it is
added, is that it is the King's intention to • cause all
the Royalist Volunteers to be disarmed,as they have
caused him nothing but objects of discontent.
Before the insurrection the Captain-General and
the chief authorities of the province (amongst
others, the Royal Audiencia) resided at Barcelona;
it is now decided that these authorities shall remain
at Tarragona.
The fortress of Barcelona being occupied by the
French, and the Count d'Espagne having testified
his wish not to remain there, a good deal is talked

a the Court circles of an evacuation by our troops;

it is, besides, one of the motives for the complaints
or griefs of the malcontents, who, while all declaring
themselves our friends, required our departure.—
They say that our presence paralyses their industry,
by the facility which it gives to the introduction of
a number of articles
,of consumption, either free of
duty or fraudulently.
Until now the battalions of the different corps of
the French division were only 500 men; they have
now been increased to 600; this accession will be
effected by changes, which the-discharges of 1827
will cause. On the 11th October, about 950 men
will leave Perpignan ; on the 28th, a second column
of about 700 men will march. The discharged:sol-
diers will set out, 600 on the 25th October, and
300 on the. 2d November. Thus the division will
be increased by about 800 men. Orders have been
given to proVide provisions and lodgings for them
on their route.

It is this moment announced that the Frere Ovry,
a franciscan, called le Pere Pugnal, one of the heroes
of the taking of Reus, has been arrested. At the
moment he was surprised, he said that he was setting-
out to make his submission ; he got no credit for his
design, and was at once bound. His brother, a
maker of vermicelli 'at Barcelona, has received an
express, which brought him this intelligence.
' (From the :Journal des Debats.)
" BARCELONA, OCT. 3.—As you already know,
the King of Spain has announced his arrival at Tar=
ragona to the Catalonians in a proclamation, in
which he allows the malcontents 24 hours for laying,
down their arms. He will listen to their complaints
if, after this delay, they return to their homes. This
proclamation has already produced a good effect,
which has been assisted by the expulsion of the
rebels from the town of Reus. Eight hundred of
them have laid dowh their arms. An ex-Commissary
of war, in offering his submission, has made known
the means which were employed to draw him into

the rebellion. Some persons, who ars powerful by
their interest, have been pointed out. The King
has commanded all the Bishops of Catalonia to come
to him.

Last Sunday, 500 malcontents of Caragol's band
occupied St. Andre, a league from Barcelona. A
detatchment has appeared under the walls of Fort
-Pio, which is dependent on that town, and deman-
ded a parley with the Governor.
In the evening Lieutenant-General Beiret caused
a regiment to proceed from Barcelona, which had
been cantoned in the villages of Sans Sarria, Gracia,
and Saint Andre. This lAtter place was evacuated
by the Agraviados, who retired half a.league further
to Badalona, after having fixed a contribution of 500
duros. They now occupy four or five villages along
the sea coast on the road to France.

It is announced that Father Ovry has been arres-.
ted ; his brother, a broker at Barcelona, has been in-
formed of the circumstance by an expresi.: •
General d'Arbaud Mison, brother of General
d'Arbaud Jouques, departed yesterday morning in
the brig Dragon, of the French squadron, to offer
his compliments to the King of Tarragona. We
await his return with impatience, because it is re-
ported that much will be said at Tarragona respect-
jig the evacuation of Spain by the French troops, a
measure strongly insisted on "by the malcontents,
although they are said to be the friends of the
French.
Vidas one of ,the principal Royalist Chiefs, has
sought his pardon from the King. His Majesty re-
plied, that for what concerned himself he would grant,
it, but that the vexations which he, had caused, the
contributions he had extorted, and the assassinations
he had 'committed, came under the cognizance of
justice, which would settle matters with him on those
points.
The diligence from France arrives as regularly as
usual.

We expect here recruits in place of the men
whose time of service has expired. The battalions
which were only 500 men, have been increased to
600. Thus, we shall have a reinfOrcement of 100
or 800 men more than heretofore.

TRIESTE, OCT. I.—Private letters from Corfu, of
the 20th of September, announce that the Egyptian-
ileet have been required by the Admirals of the
Christian squadrons not to disembark the troops on
board the vessels which compose it. The letters do
not state whother the Egyptians have submitted to
this demand.
