It is now reported as certain that we shall directly
have three armies iu Spain : one, the Army of the
Eastern Pyrenees, or Catalonia, will be under the
orders of the Duke of Ragusa. Marshal Oudinot
Duke of Reggio, will command the. Army of the
Centre, or of Arragon. The Army of the Western
P)renees, or of Navarre, will be commanded by
Count de Lauriston. The Duke d'Angouleme will
have the supreme command of these three armies,
and the Minister of War will, under him, discharge
the functions of Major-General. M. de Coteliquet
will be appointed Under Secretary of State. and will
manage the War Department during the absence of
the Duke of Belluno...—Quotidien.,e.
M. the Count de Lagarde, Ambassador of France
to Spain, is hciurly expected in Paris.
M. de Brunetti, Charge d'Affaires of Austria to
Spain, arrived in Paris on Monday. The Prussian
Amhassador is expected to-day.
A private letter from Bayonne, dated the 23d inst.
states, that all the Ambassadors of the Northern
rowers were in that town on that day. In the course
of their journey from Madrid, they were several tinsel
insulted by the -Descarnisados. A Spanish Colonel,
sent by his Government, passed through Bayonne o&
the evening of the22d, for Gazette de-France.

They who were thus favoured with a ticket of de-
parture, received it amidst exclamations of Me le
Iloi ! The Ministers are to assemble this evening at

the house of M. de Villele:
The Marquis of Lauriston is preparing for .his de-
parture for the. army.
The English Ambassador last night dispatChed
couriers for London, Madrid, Vienna, Frankfort, Am•

The Papers, after detailing the names of the Peers
and Deputies who answered when called over to take
the oaths at the opening of the Session, thus proceed:
"-Altruist all the new Deputies answered to their
names. We remarked amcng the small number of
the absent, M. Manuel and the Marquis de la Fayette.
The Chamber was moreover very nunierous : 250
Members have already arrived from their homes.
"The Chancellor resumed, and expressed himself
thus6l declare, by order of the King, that the'Ses-
sion for 1823 is open. Messieurs the Peers of France,
and Messieurs the Deputies, are requested to attars:l
in their respective Chambers to-morrqw, at oneo'cloCk,
to resume the progress of their labour.
" His Majesty retired, accompanied by the Princes
,of his family. The cries of f'ive le Roil' • Vivent
Its 'Bourbons !' • Vivent tons les Bourbons !" Vice le
Due. 'de Bordeaux!' resounded until they departed.
the moment the Duchesses of Angouleme and
-Berry torte to leave Omit. Tribune, they were saluted
with similar acclamations.
"The Chamber of Peers, in which the organization
of Committees is very easy, will lose no time in draw.
ing up a form of-address in reply to the Speech of
his Majesty. * In the Chamber of Deputies the pre-
liminary proceedings are. longer and more com-
plicated.":
Monday evening, M. the Ambassador of Spuin re-
ceived an official notification that the Count LAgarde,
Ambassador of France to Spain, had quitted Madrid,
and that his own passports were 'ready. It is affirmed
that he will set off on Friday next, with all his legation.
M. tbe Commander Sampayo, Charge d'Affaires
of Portugal, was present at the Royal Sitting. It was
remarked that he was placed with the rest of the di-
plomatic corps, quite close to M. Rothschild. It does
not appear that M. Lesseps, Consul-General of France
at Lisbon, who was Charge d'Affaires par interim,
has received orders to quit Portugal. M. de Sam-
payo has neither received from the Minister of Fo.
reign Affairs of France, nor from. his own Goren*•
ment, authority to demand his- passports. It is not,
thought that it will be long ere he is recalled by the
Portuguese Ministry, who appear throughout to have
made common cause with the Spanish Ministry.
Two thothand five hundred men, of troops of the
line, in garrison at Pads, Will march on Friday for
Bayonne : they are to be replaced by troops which are
proceeding 'lithe, (Oar• the itorth. •
It is affirmed, dust one of the,-Marshals of France
will be employed in the • tansy of which the Duke
d'Angouleme is nominated Generalissimo. "'General.

pointed Major-General of the said army. The two.

known what commands ate destined to Generals

Tile second Regiment -of Light Infantry, *hid)
forms part of the garrison of Dijon, has. received
marching orders. It was to have commenced its
route to-day for Pan. The fifth Rtgiment
,of Foot
Artillery, and the fifth squadron of the waggon train,
in garrison at Auxonne, have also received orders to
depart on the 27th for Perpignan. The fifth Regi-
ment will furnish eight complete companies, and the
remainder will form the depot. The squadron will
take with it all the tumbrils.—C,onnitetierrad.
FROM THE QUOTIDIENNE.
We have this moment received by express the Or-
der of the Day of the General-in-Chief of his Catho-
lic Majesty in Navarre and Biscay, addressed to the
troops under his command :
" Soldiers! The Sovereigns composing the Holy Alliance
assembled at Verona, where they studied the welfare of our un-
fortunate country, base at •last adopted a resolution. Their
anguit voices resound through Europe. Listen, soldiers ! and
you, also, who persist in being our enemies.
" These Monarchs solemnly declare, that in its present state
of disorganization, Spain is the power most inimical to the con-
servative principles of society which exist, sod particularly to
those principles which form the basis of the European alliance.
They order their Ambassadors to leave Madrid, characterising
as a faction resolved to attempt everything, those who retain our
well-beloved Seveteign captive. Finally, it is declared, that
until there be wrested from the hands of the partisans of the re-
volution the arms Which they have turned against the tranquillity
of the'whble world, and until they are reduced to-a state of com-
plete feebleness, these magnanimous Sovereigns will not regard
their duty as fulfilled.
" The factious Government which we combat is then out-
lawed by the legitimate Governments of Europe, and your
courageous effotts will receive the most flattering reward in, the
unanimous approbation of the true monarchical principles which
we defend. The liberty of our captive Princes; their re-
eltabliihtnent on the throne, and in the rights of which rebellion
alas robbed them: our Monarch, surrounded by his faithful
friends and loyal servants, hearing paternally his people, drying
up their tears watching ever the execution of the fundamental
laws of the tear,
respecting the ancient manners and customs,

our fathers, and protecting its now persecuted Ministers :--such.

The Public look forward to the lisso's Speech on Tuesday at
the opening of Parliament, with an aOzietl more intense than
bas been manifested on a similar occasion for many years. The
part t/tht Ibis Government has taken In the Coßipen at Verona,
and subsequently at tie Court of the Thui&ries, is, by inference,
Uluktstood to be that of a mediator; and that we have resisted,
so
_far as: we were able, the league formed Jar attacking Spain.

From the Speech of the King of Fume, it Is further inreityd
that all our efforts have been ineffectual, and that war wil tale
place. The Public; however, not only wait to .havc.a confir-
matt= of these circumstances, but to knovr What May be our
future policy. On this subject we do not Pretatid to speak po-
sitively, or to announce the precise terms of the Royal Speech,
which circumstances may transpire before Tuesday that may
alter it; but we believe-the following outline 'Will he found
pretty cornet, so far as relatesto our foreign relations s

After expressing the assurances that his Meassrr has received
of the friendly dispositions Of the Powers of Europe, reference
will be made to the aff.tirs of Spain, and to the Treaty formed
with that country for indemnifying us for the losses our Mer-
chants had suffered by the piracies in the West Indies—an allu-
sten will be made to the Commercial advantages expected to be
derived by the new Treaty. ,

On the more important subject, the proceedings of the, C.
greti of Verona, and their results, his liLasserr Will eves/06kb
regret that the offer of his mediation, to bring about an amicable
understanding between Spain and the other Powers of Europe,
kad not been attended wirit that success which was hoped from it ;
but that every effort on the part of his IlLisitsrr, consistent
with he own honour, the dignity of the Crown, and the inte-
rests of this Empire, should still be made to preserve the peace
of Europe.

.

Should thew efforts stiU prove ineffectual. !do !darnels, es.
presses his confidence in receiving such support from:hiallidtbful
people, as may enable him to preserve to this 'countrY tine high
character it has h4therto maintained among the Powers of Europe.

The indecision of the present French Cabinet has
become as proverbial as its promptitude was in the
reign of. NApotrofv. Under the latter, the whole
arrangements for a new campaign were made, and
the first deCisive blow often struck, before the rest of
Europe was aware of the particular object to whiCh
it was directtd: Thanks jo LOnni XVIII. he is not so

Spain, and that too ivi th only 100,000 men, the greatest

&masons, and to the odious cause in which they are
engaged.
It seems, however, doubtful what share the Dud
d'AncotiLmag is to have in the new crusade; for al•
though he is called Generalissimo, it is said he ii:te
act under the direction ofahe Minister of the Kings
Household, the Marquis de la TOUR MAUBOURCi
One thing, however, appears certain, that few irany
of the French Marshals, those distinguished Officers
who contributed so much to the military glory of
France, are to have a command in the invading army.
It is n6t a little remarkable that private letters
from Paris still assert that war is not inevitable, And
that Louis XVIII. and some of his Ministers would
gladly extricate themselves front the dilumina. in
which the Royal Speech has placed France, could
they divine the means. But Spain, thus menaced and
thus falsely accused, ..i.ust no longer submit to the
half threatening, half-afraid attitnie Fiance has as-
wined ; nor must she concede a sitapje point, even in
courtesy, to suspend the. blow which the Holy
have so long meditated against her independent...—
The vacillating conduct of the French Government,
has given Spain time for prepAration; and we truss
rto learn, by the next P.tpers from Madrid, that she
has not neglected it, but is now in a position to bid
defiance to any Power that may darn to attack her
independence.
Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated Jai

DEFEAT or MORALES.—Captain Mason, of the
schooner Chet üb, arrived at Baltimore from Curaeoa,
sailed on the 4th ult. He informs, that the day pre-
vious to his sailing, a schooner arrived in two days
from Coro, by which letters were received from Go-
vernor Torelles, giving information of two battles
having been fought, on 22d and 2-kb of November,
near Salina River, between Generals Montilla and
Morales, in both of which the Columbian forces
proved victorious.
The Royal troops, in consequence, were obliged to
evacuate Maracaibo on the 26th, and that place was
taken possession of the same day by Montilla.
The Spaniards, it h stated, suffered severely in the
last action, -hating lost, the entire baualion of Va-
rendes, and-many.olficers.
Morales; with 'the remnant of his army, landed
at Alla on the 29th.
NEW YORK, DECEMBER 27.
(PROM THE CoMMERCIAL. ADYERTIGER.)
Tne BR AZI LS.-- A letter from. St. Salvador, of the
Ist November, confirms the fact of the arrival at that
place of a fleet with 1200 troops from Portugal. A
ship of the line was to proceed on to Rio, to blockade
it; and another Expedition was expected to follow
Ois, which, in the opinion of many, would have no
other effect than prolonging the surrender of the
city, as, from its limited force, it was unable to open
an intercourse with the interior. Markets at Saint
Salvador continued as formeily—Flotir from seven
to eight dollars.
REPUBLIC or COLOMBlA.—Caraccas dates of the
2Sth November, state that, at the ensuing meeting of
Congress, which was to be held in Bogota, the ques-
tion would be discussed,whether the Republic should
be placed under one head, or divided into clitTaent
States, confederated under one Government ? The
latter plan appears to he the most generally approved
of. A Committee on Schools, appointed by the Go-
vernment,
had reported in favour of several impor-
Sant improvements in the mode of instructing youth.
Colonel Jose Maria Salazar is stated to have been
appointed Envoy Extraordinary of the Republic to
die United States; and a letter from Laguayra, of the
2d inst. says that he was to embark on board the
Cyane, and would be landed at Charleston. Toe
sews of the battle between Morales and Montilla had
,i!tst reached Laguayra. The writer states that " the
former gained some advantages."
LATE FROM HAVANNAll.—Accounts have reached
Charleston from Havannah to the 17th of December,
nth represent that place to be in a perfect state of
*volution. The natives (Creoles) have declared
themselves enemies to the Europeans, and it was ex-
jetted the matter would soon come to a serious end.
Ibeleatiers. of the first are all the learned young
area of the City ; and of the second, all the Grocers

FARQUII A RSON V. BALFOUR, ESQ.
This was an application to the Court involving
Matter of great importance to the Public as well as
to the parties immediately concerned. It was, that
the defendant should stand committed *to the Fleet
Prison for contempt of Court. .
Mr. AGAR, who made the motion, detailed the
circumstances of the case, the leading points in which
are, that the plaintiff, now in distress, occasioned by
this suit, was formerly in possession of an estate in
the West Indies, but had mortgaged it to the defend-
ant for C 120,000, which was sold by order of that
Gentleman for two hundred thousand pounds, as the
plaintiff alleges, but which defendant does not admit.
In this condition of things, the plaintiff filed his Bill
in Chancery, praying that the defendant should give
a full account of all the proceeds of the above estate,
and also for a discovery of the whole of the transac-
tions: this was four years ago. The defendant put
in an answer ; that answer was excepted to as insuf-
ficient, and the Master reported that answer insuffi-
cient. The defendant filed exceptions to that Re-
port. The Court, on hearing those exceptions, con-
firmed the Master's Report. The defendant was,
therefore, obliged to put in a second answer, which
being excepted to, was reported insufficient ; to
which Report the defendant excepted again, and
the Court affirmed that Report a second time.—
The defendant put in a third answer, which, being
held also insufficient, he put in a fourth answer,
which was also excepted to, and reported insufficient
as to the exceptions taken to the first answer, al-
though full as to all the other exceptions. It was,
therefore, now prayed, that the defendant should
stand committed to the Fleet Prison for contempt
of Court.

Mr. AGAR contended, that this was the case, in
which the defendant, a man of immense wealth, was
acting oppressively towards the plaintiff, a distressed
man; but he trusted, and indeed bad no doubt, that
the Court would administer justice impartially, with-
out respect of persons.
Mr. PARKER spoke on the same side. •
Mr. Harr, for the defendant, maintained •that the
appeal of Mr. Agar, on the subject of wealth and
poverty, was a mere rhetorical Unarish ; there was
nothing solid in it.; the truth was, this motion was
merely for the vindictive pizrerose.of' a-ending the de-
fendant (a Gentleman' of thegge•of 75) to- prison,
which would operate as a"sentenct of death on him ;
for, as to a discovery of all the defendant knew, if
that was all the plaintiff wanted, be might have it
without delay, for the defendant was ready to gb be-
fore the Master, to.answer interrogatories forthwith.
But as to the fourth" answer of the defendant being,
reported insufficient by the Master, be was ready to
admit that to be a matter of great importance, and
the more particularly on account of the high respect-
ability of that Gentleman, Master Cox, yet exception
had been filed against that report, and that exception
now stood before the Court for argument, and Mr.
Hart said he had held a conversation with that Gen-
tleman, who admitted, on that occasion, that certain
points mentioned by Mr. Hart had not -been called
to his attention before he had made his report. Under
all these circumstances, Mr. Hart trusted. that the
commitment of this Gentleman should be deferred
until after the exception to the Master's report shall
have been heard.

Mr. DANIEL spoke on the same side.
Mr. AGAR was astonished to hear Mr. Hart avow
such a practice as that of a Barrister speaking to a
Judge on the subject of his judgment : he had never
heard such an avowal before, and hoped he should
never hear it again.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took a view of the-whole •
of these proceedings, and observed, that by the old
practice, it was a thing of course to commit a party
for contempt on his putting. in a third insufficient
answer; but,• as that practice had not been re-
cently acted upon, he-had • determined to commit
the party only on the fourth insufficient answer.—
That was the case here, and the Vice• Chancellor had,
on the 23d of January last, ordered the defendant to
stand committed for contempt ; and that order was
before his LOrdship upon appeal, as well as.the ex-
ception to the Master's Report, which appeared to
have hein filed on the day of the order of the Vice-
Chancellor for the commitment of the defendant.
His Lordship held, that the offer on the part of the
defendant to go before the Master, in order to be
examined on interrogatories, amounted to nothing,
unless the defendant WAS examined in custody.—
If the defendant should, this day, appear in Court
personally and abide the event, his Lordship would
hsar and decide upon the exception: if exception to
the Master's report was tight, the result would be
the discharge of the defendant ; if, on the contrary,
the exception to the report was wrong, the commit-
ment of the defendant. •
The defendant not appearing this morning, the.
LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the process of the Court
fu: the defendant's comrnitruent;issued on the ordei
of the 'Vice-Chancellor, to be executed, but that the
ofaer of the Court need not take the defendant to
I the Fleet Prison until Monday, when the matter may
be mentioned again, and when the motion for a re-
ceiver of the produce of the estate is to be discussed.-:

It being directed by the Instructions to the klonourible
Surveyor-General, that he is to Survey or have Surveys !Rade
Annually, of all Stores in Magazine, and in charge of any of the
:Storekeepers, which Surveys are to be taken in conjunction with
'the Officers of the Ordnance, and by Officers of Artillery and
Engineers, at each Station, and by an Officer of the Navy (for
the Sea Service Stores), and one of the Army. (for the Land
Service Stores), if there should be any such Miters on the spot ;
I have it in command to state the same for your infotinatibn,
and to signify the Board's desire that, whenever such Annual
•
Survey shall be authorised at , or
-when it may be necessary to survey Stores with a view to the
condemnation of those that are iinoerviceable, according to the
Master-General's and Board's Circular Order, dated 19th *April:
1821, you will be careful in your applicationS to the Military and
. Naval Authorities upon the spot, for the attendance orOfikery
from those Services upon such Surveys, to state the Rank of the.
Officers of Ordnance likely to be employed, in order that the
Commanding Officers of the Troops or Ships at the station, may
appoint Officers of the nearest corresponding Ranks under their
command ; upon which point the Board have communicated
with his Royal Highness the Commander.in-Chief, tad the
• Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.
The Board, however, direct me farther to state to you, that
when it may be requisite to Survey Stores which may be occa-
sionally returned from any of Majesty's Ships' they are of opi-
nion that no objection iseed'attach to the nomination of the Gun-
ner of the Ship, instead of a Commissioned Naval Officer, to
attend the Survey, in consequence of his interest in, and con-
nection with the Stores to be surveyed.
. You will he pleased to observe, that it is not the Board's in-
tention that any Officers of the Artillery or Engineers, or of the
Line or the Navy, should be required to travel front the places
where they are respectively stationed, to join in the Annual, or
other Surveys, so as to occasion a claim for travelling expenses ;
but that their attendance Is only expected when any of them are
,on duty at the place where the' Stores in charge of each Store-
keeper are deposited.-. 4 am, &c. (Signed) It. H. CItE W.
