FRANKFORT, JULY 24.

It is generally said, in our political circles, that the
present situation of the Peninsula will give rise to a
new European Congress, to be held at Vienna in the
month of October next.

It is also added, that not only the Powers of the
first rank, but likewise those of the second and third,
will assist at the approaching Congress. The ob-
ject of this general assembly will be, to form into
statutes the great maxims of the Holy Alliance,
giving them the form of a code, which will be re-
cognised by all the States, as establishing the public
rights of nations.

MADRID, JULY U.

At two o'clock yesterday morning the Duke of
Angouleme left Madrid for Seville. From this de-
termination of his Royal Highness, we are induced
to encourage the most favourable hopes, since we
cannot but flatter ourselves that it may prove a
powerful means of more promptly obtaining the de-
liverance of our beloved King and Royal Family,
and putting a stop to the evils which :Act the coun-
try. For this reason the Regency of the Kingdom
has made the requisite arrangements for providing
his Royal Highness, his retinae, and the troops which
accompany him throughout the whole of the route,
with everything necessary for the journey, and for
paying that honour which is due to the high dignity
and character of so magnanimous a deliverer, who
has come to re-establish tranquillity and order
amongst us, at the expense of innumerable fatigues
arid sacrifices.

The Government has received information that the
important health of their Majesties and their Royal
Highnesses continued, on the 2111, 22d, aad 23citur-
rent, unchanged. •
The communications with Cadiz becoming daily
more difficult, and the blockade mere strict, wheaten
bread has in consequence already risen to 18 or 20
reals per pound. The other•articles of the first neces-
sity have risen in the same proportion.
On the 21st, an English ship, under a flag of truce,
entered the port of Cadiz. The object of her mission
has been the subject of much conversation.

His Royal Highness the Duke of ANO(ULEME,
previous to leaving this capital, issued the following
order :

" GENERAL ORDER.
" His loyal Highness the General-in-Chief, being to com-
mence his march with the head-quarters for Andalusia, on the
28th current, has determined, that the superior command of the
several provinces shall be distributed in the following manner
as far as respects military operations:—
" His Excellency the Duke of Reggio, Commander-in-Chief
of the first corps of the army, shall have the superior command
of the provinces of New Castile, Estremadura, Segovia, the
kingdom of Leon, including Salamanca, Valladolid, Galicia, and
the Asturias. His head-quarters shall be at Madrid.
His Serene Highness the Prince of Hohenlohe, Commander-
in-Chief of the third corps of the army, shall have the superior

Victoria.

" His Excellency Marshal the Marquis of Lauriston, Com-
mander-in-Chief of the second corps of reserve, shall have the
superior command of the provinces of Guipascoa, Navarra, Ar-
ragosi, and the Lower Ebro. His head-quarters shall be at Tolosa.

" Lieutenant-General Count Molitor, Commander-in-Chief
of the second corps of the army, shall have the superior com-
mand of the kingdoms of Valencia, Murcia, and Granada-

tions as ulterior circumstances may render necessary; but midi
farther orders, the General Officers and Commanders of rheFrench
and Spanish troops. as also the Commandants of the provinces
and places included within each of the before-described superior
commands, 'shall correspond with the Marshals and General
Officers herein specified, and shall execute their orders. •

" The present General Order shall be communicated to the
Serene Regency of the kingdom of Spain, in order that their
Highnesses may issue the necessary orders, directing the Cap-
tains-General, Commanders of the provinces, and of the troops
of his Catholic Majesty, to put themselves, agreeably to the
above regulations, in the proper relation with the Marshals and
Generals having superior command.
" By order of his Royal Highness,
" Count de G UILL EM NOT, Major-General.
" Head-quarters, Madrid, July 24."

The subscription which was some time ago opened
at Madrid, for Quesada's band, appears to have
been very unproductive. The Gazette complains that
66 this meritorious division which has made such great
sacrifices to restore to Spain her religion, her King,
and her tranquillity, is no longer enabled to .continue
its efforts, in consequence of its being naked and
destitute of every kind of equipment." It is then
said—" With the greatest joy of our hearts we see
the inhabitants hasten to succour this division, as far
and even farther than their means permit ; but we'
also with horror perceive, that many who offered the
Jacobin faction every kind of personal and pecuniary
service, now either refuse with haughtiness-or even
with scorn to assist those worthy Spaniards; or, if
they give anything, it seems to be for the purpose of
rendering more public their insolence and contemp-
tuous rudeness."

We extract the following articles of intelligence
from the Gazette of Genoa.
GENOA, JULY 21.
Private letters from Barcelona, received by vessels
which left that city on the 16th and 17th, give a me.
lancholy description of that great city, which is
strictly invested by the French army without, and is
Iwithin a prey to severe and arbitrary measures, and
in danger of falling into anarchy.
A vessel arrived here yesterday, which sailed from
Gibraltar on the 10th of July; it brings nothing new
from Cadiz, only that some vessels at the hazard of
being seized, had succeeded in entering with grain,
the blockade not being complete; but it was becoming
more strict.
