TENTH aulairm.
[Continued from theSrmt of Weeleada7.3
" The corps of Catalonia being partly composed of devises's!,
of Valencia, Murcia, and Grenada, tiMe provinces, timptened
themselves, will withdraw their troops, that is„ if the date of
the communication will permit. At all events, the 7th corps,
after finishing the siege of Rous;will give a good account of them.
" As for Barcelona, General Duhaspe, with 16,0140 men,
provided with six manas supplies, answers for the safety of that
nportant fortress.
" We have sot said spy thing of the English forces. It ap-
pears that there is one division of them at Galicia, and that
another skewed themselves at Badajoz about the end of last
month. If the English have any cavalry, we must have. plif
sight of them, for our light troops have almost reached the Tre.;,
tiers of Portugal. If they have infantry, they probably have no
intention of employing them in favour of their Allies ; for it is
already thirty days -since tub-opening of the campaign; three*
powerful armies have been destroyed; an immense quantity of
artillery has been taken ; the provinces of Castile, Montag
Arragon, and Soria, have been conquered ; in short, the fate et
Spain and Portugal is decided, and we hear nothing op ant
movement on the part of the English mops.
" In the mean time half the French army has not yet arrived.
A part of the 4th corps of the army, the whole of the sth and
ads corps, six regiments of light cavalry, many companies of ar-
tillery and sappers, and a great number of men belonging to .thifi
regiments in Spain, have not yet passed Bidassoa.
" in reality, withmt derogatinr trete the bravery of oar sol-
diers, we must say, that worso.troops than the Spanish Wan
do not exist. Like the Arabs, they may make a stand behind
*owes, but they have no disdpline, no knowledge of tactics, and
it is Impossible tor teem' to make any resistance on the field Of
battle. Even their mountains have afforded them but a feeble
protection. But, ()Wing to the power of the Inquisition, the is-
iluence of the Monks, and their address in seizing every pen, and
directing every to-igue what to say, it Is still believed, in a great
part of Spain, that Blake has been victorious, ahat the French
army has been destroyed, and that the Imperial Gamed an pri-
soners.
" But whatever may be the momentary success of ilkie miser-
Ale resources, these ridiculous efforts, the reign of thejlagsidtion
is stun end. Its revolutionary tribunals will no longer torment
any country is Europe, in Spain, as wail at Rome, the lnquisi-
don shall be abolished, and the horrid spectacle of the asittarla
shall be repeated no more. This reform shall take place in 'spite
of the religious zeal of the English, and the alliance they have
contracted'yrith Monkish impostors, who' hive given tongues to
the Virgin of the Pillar, and the Saints of Valladolid. Thermic'
of England are monopoly, the Inquisition, and the Franciscans ;
every thing is good alike to her, provided she divides the nations,
and covers the Continent with blood.
". An English brig, the Ferret, which left Portsmouth on the
11th instant, came to anchor on the 294, in the port of Santan-
der, not knoWing that it is in the hands of the French. She bad
on boird important dispatches, and a great number of English
papers, all of which have been taken possession of.
" At St. Ander we found a great quantity of Peruvian bark
and &milel produce, which has been sent off for Bayonne.
" The Duke of Dalmatia has entered the Asturias. Several
cities and many villages have mode offers of submission, in order
to rescue themselves from the abyss dug by the counsels of fo-
reigners, and the passions of the multitude."

CONSTANTINOPLE, OCTOBER 25.
The Grand Vizier has caused Bachi Aga, Com-
mandant of the Marine, and the fanatical enemy of
every thing that was Turkish, to be beheaded. This
event has caused a great sensation in this capital.
We have been equally astonished at learning of the
deposition of Haggi Pacha, Commandant Oche Cas-
tles of the Dardanelles, who has been sent into exile.
He has been replaced by Rahil Bacha, who is consi-
dered as a zealous partisan of the Porte. M. Bosgoi-
wich has presented his credentials as Charge d'Affaires
from Prussia.

VIENNA, NOVEMBER 25.
The Court Gazette has published the following Ar-
tick respecting Turkey :
" The Great Camp of Daud Pacha, near,Constan-
tinople, is now occupied only by ihe particular troops
of Mustapha Bairactar, and by the Seymens, which
he has organized with inconceivable promptitude.—
All the others are gone to the grand army of Romelia,
or returned into their provinces. Of this number the
troops of the Heys and Ayans of Asia form the greater
part. Those, before their departure, engaged them-
selves by a most sacred oath before the Grand Vizier,
to sacrifice all their personal animosities, and to ap-
pear at the first signal, to defend the Mahometan Re-
ligion and the Empire. Ismael,. Bey of Seus, Kari
Asmanu Oglu, and Kali-Angli Oglu were the first
who set out : they were followed by the celebrated
Ciapin Oglu. Mustapha Bairactir is irecessantly oc-
cupied in augmenting the Seymens, whicu he will
raise to 160,000 men ; they are to have red, green,
and white uniforms. These troops will be divided
into 100 buluks of 1600 men each. There will be
for each bisluk a Cinbaschi, a.Muhlalizin (two Staff
Officers), 16 Jubaschi, and 160 Ousbaschi (Captains
and Lieutenants). The Grand Vizier has entirely
done away the obstacle which resulted from a differ-
ence of religion, and which the Porte has hitherto in-
violably respected; Tusks and Greeks are to serve
indiscriminately in the corps'of Seymens.
" Mustapha has already at Rudschuk, many
Greeks among his best troops, and
.on the 12th of
October, his confident and banker made their entry
under an escort of sixty Seymens, who were all Ar-

menians.
,4 The Grand Vizier caused, in the month of Oc-
tober, a great number of Cackgis (toners and fisher-
men) to come to the environs of the capital, in order
to make them serve on board the fleet. The ancient
corps of Janissaries loses every day its consistency.—
The Grand Vizier has just caused to be executed two
of the most powerful supports of that corps, and who
were the mostipowerfully opposed to Niziam Guctid,
the ci-devant Sieman Baschi, and the inspector of
arsenals Khwegi Oglu Mustapha Aga : this last, on
his being arrested, having called to the 95th cohort of
Janissaries, to which he belonged, for assistance, Mus-
tapha immediately killed him with a blow of the
sabre. The executioner afterwards cut off head,
as well as that of his unfortunate companion'.
The Grand Seignor has by a decreer yen to the
Grand Vizier, unlimited powers for thi augmentation
of the forces both by sea and land. fiiis Minister•
completely paid the new troops beim the commence-
ment of the fast, and, what is very important, has
established a chamber of finances, particularly for the
Seymens, at the head of which he has placed the
former treasurer Bedidsch Effendi. He has replaced
the Minister of Finances by the ancient Crousch-
bache, Marshal of the Court Tahsim, Achmet Ef-
who has for his successor, Harnand Mehmesch
formerly President of Army Account 3.
K Thanks to the indefatigable vigilance and energy
aumustapha Bairactar, all these important changes
been peaceably effected—Egypt continues to
the most perfect The Path; of
4cl pursues with vigour the important advan-
which he iiitslatelygainc4pver the Wechabites."
