ARMY OF THE SEVENTH MILITARY DISTRICT.

4 General Don Francisco Milano writes to me under the date
of yesterday at eight in the morning, as follows
" This morning I attacked the enemy in the streets of this
town, which are now covered with dead bodies, arms, horses,
&c. and of those who have escaped, there are few who have
nut been wounded by the cavalry. lam going to San Celoni to
give some rest to my troops, and thence I shall send you a de.
tailed account. The factious were about 400 in number, corn•
molded by (alas.'

" I make this known fur the sati-faction of thz Public.
(Signed) " FRANCISCO FERRAZ.
" Barcelona, August 6."
We lave before us a letter from the above General
Ferraz, dated the 7th, at one in the morning, which
states, among other things, that the factious have been
beaten every day, and in every direction. They want
resources, and are discontented amongst themselves.
The country people begin to be irritated at the ban-
ditti, and many of them applied to him for arms.—
The letter further states, dut on the 6th there was
much rain, which is very fortunate, as it prevents
epidemia. Upon the whole, with a supply of money,
and the assistance of the troops sent by the Govern.
merit, the business here will soon be concluded. For
our own part, we cannot do less than congratulate
General Ferraz for the brilliant direction which he
has given to the troops under his command.
AUGUST 14.
CIRCULAR Of THE ULTRA MiRINI MENISTRT%

" The King, aware that :he free and unrestrained course of
the Government is calculated to inspire confidence, and ensure
a successful result of the deliberations, and convinced of the ad-
vantage which Spaniards abroad will derive from a knowledge
of the general provisions made for the Government of the Penin-
sula and adjacent Islands; fareseeing.on the other hand that the
Ultra Marine Authorities. may with advantage adopt them pro-
visionally, rendering as uniform as possible the Administration
of both hemispheres, in those cases not decided by the laws, de-
crees, or orders to be observed in those Provinces, has resolved,
that through the medium of the Secretary charged, ad interim,
with this department, these provisions shall be communicated
to the Political Chiefs, with the assurance that they are trans-
mitted for their information and the instruction of the Wm.
bitants. By order of his MPjesty, I communicate them to you
for your intormation and guidance. HEAVIIN preserve you many
years.—Madrid, August it."
This provident step of the Minister ad interim of
this department of the Government, shews us of what
the present Ministry is capable, and what will be
done by the permanent Head of the Ultra Marine be.

tiom we will mention what we have learned from
poblic papers, printed and posted up in the Havan-
lath, relative to therneasire which we approve.
The Vealinent hf Cu la has just transmitted to
dollars. for clothing to be made there,
to the ittito y of the rarional trade and industry. Had
the (dicers cf this Regiment known the dispositions
which prevail in both Spains concerning this subject,
- they would have been very careful not to violate ar-
ticle 5 of tha Jecree of the Cones of the 50th of May,
18121, v.sh'i provides, that all the clothe, and arti-
cles for the clothing and equipments of the army, are
strictly to be of the national manufacture.
T'ie anarchical movements of the Serrania de
Ronda do not excite surprise as being unexpected,
nor create alai in floor their consistency. It is doubt-,
less mortifying to have to trace their origin to the
apathy of the former Government, which ought not
and could tot have been ignorant of what must hap-
pen, leaving Malaga to the mercy of odious Autho-
rities, and flialtop S'alez in conjunction with Bishop
Canedo, after what was known relative to both these
Prelates. In Alge itas there has always been a counter
fire to these conspiracies.
The consequence was what might naturally be ex-
p..ctral. When Senor Puenta arrived, all was over;
and tooth his energetic and prudent measures con-
siderably ..intitiislied the intensity, they could not
prevent the exrlosion of the plot, the leader of which
. was favoured by one of the Political Chiefs of Alge-
siras, who had previously exerted himself against
Lad' var and Guerra, and had discovered to the Go-
vettiment the crusade that _was in preparation pre-
vious to the month of Jnly, and even sent a pattern of
the crosses which were of dered to be made in Gibraltar.
The result has proved in unison with what we have
e'en everywhere in attempts to replunge us into
eavery in the name of Gun. The Bishops of Malaga
and Ceuta, practising the scandalous and notorious
infraction of human and Divine law, have employed
themselves in misleading the minds of the inhabit-
atas of the Serrania, who are the victims of the
grossest surerstition and the lowest ignorance, joined
to a ferocity and boldness of character, of which the
Priests know how to avail themselves for their own
advantage. The most miserable inhabitants of the
deserts of La Ronda have been excited by means of
the Clergy, and misled with the idea that those are
roartyrs ssho die for the temporal interests of fana-
ticism. The trine which had been laid by the agenti
of the Priests exploded on the I st instant is La Ronda,
where Aguilar, Tinoco, Becetra, and other Chiefs of
the Contrabandistos, gave the signal for subversion
and revolt. This signal was obeyed by the villages
of Atajate and Atgatozin, and communicated to those
who united themselves to Benaojan and Montejaque,
beaded by Rosillo, as Gansin, the Political Chief of
Algesiras had foreseen, and communicated to the
former authorities of Malaga.
The number of the factious is computed to be about
SOO or 400—a number which, even with the advan-
tages they enjoy from their situation, cannot excite
the alarm of the well-disposed, nor the hopes of the
evil-inclined, particularly since the Authorities of
Malaga, Algesitas, and Seville, direct against them
forces so respectable as those which are described in
the dispatches amd returns received from these Au-
thin ities. By them it will be seen that the vigilant
and active General of Centa extends his continued
wish for the liberties of the country, much beyond
the sphere of the duty imposed on him by the import-
ant matter tinder his charge. A considerable portion
of the column which is operating against the factious
party of La Ronda consists of troops of the brave
corps of America; Valencia, and the garrison ofCenta,
and arc inferior in no espect to the others who com-
pose the liberating expedition destined to chastise the
Contrabandistos.
All that we have hitherto learned respecting that
pat t of Andalusia, sufficiently proves the zeal of the
present Authorities of Malaga, Seville, and Ceuta ;
and the task which devolves on those who are in-
formed by the Political Chief of Algesiras, of the
mischief perpetrated by the two rambling Bishops,
and of that which was plotting at Gibraltar, will in-
duce them to make the Bishop of Ceuta to fulfil the
laws which confine him to a determined point, or the
Bishop of Malaga to reside in the capital of his dio-
cese, where there are no Serranos to he seduced, nor
Contrabandistos to be armed against the Government,
which has both sworn flocks and pastors. Little can
be effected against ignorance, seduced by tithe gold:
neither the vigilance of Salas and Retoitisto in Al-
gesiras, the zeal and activity of Puente in Malaga,
of O'Daly in Seville, or Button in Ceuta, will be
sufficient, if, after quenching the present ephemeral
flame, there should sot vine in the breasts of Velez
and Canedos, the permanent spark of new and greater
conflagrations, in which Spanish blood will be shed
to support the indolence and overbearing spirit of
the Ministers of a religion of peace, charity, and the
self-denial of all earthly things.
This day an Ordinary Council was held to judge
the First Lieutenant of G uards, Don Teodoro Goy ffien.
An immense concourse assembled to witness the first
trial of one of the Officers, who, unmindful of their
duty, have made attempts on the liberties of their
country, and placed it on the brink of ruin. The ad-
vocate of the culprit, guided by the noble sentiments
which at all times distinguish him, drew tears from
the audience in the course of his brilliant defence.—
We are, however, informed, that the Council has con-
demned the prisoner to the usual punishment.

The Journal des Debuts says :—The department of
the Lower Rhine has been for the last four months
afflicted with a scourge which has thrown the inha-
bitants into the utmost con4ernation, and reduced
them to a situation truly deplorable. The sufferings
of this district have arisen from the incredible ravages
of mice ! The arrondisSements of Savern and Stras-
burgh have been most exposed to their depredations.
These destructive animals have multiplied there to
such a degree, that in the district of Savern 1,570,000
have been taken in a fortnight, and nearly as many
have perished in their holes. The crops have been
nearly destroyed in many Communes, and tke pota-
toes, the last resource of cultivators, are now attacked
and threatened with destruction. What the mice have
spared has been carried away by hail-storms. On
the 23d, a dreadful storm burst over the town and
environs of Slratburgh, especially over the districts
of Nlarienheim and Dappigheim, where the crops
were almost entirely destroyed, awl the loss estimated
at 500,000 ir

Madrid Papers to the 15:h inst. have been received.
It will be seen from the extracts we have given from
them, in a preceding page, that the Spanish capital,
which the Ultras had marked out for a scene of blood-
shed, remains tranquil. The new Ministers a: e firmly
established, and appear to be conducting the business
of the State with due vigour. General MORILLO
has resigned a command which, being both civil and
military,was considered as incompatible with libettY.
—The Royal household is undergoing a strict re-
form ; and the conduct of the Ktuo, rendered suspi-
cious by the mutiny of the Guards, is put under strict
controul. Genetal MINA is about to repair to Cata-
lonia with sufficient force to put down the insurrec-
tion in that province. The Espectador, appatently
the organ of the Ministers, strongly urges that an
extraordinary Embassy be sent to France, requiring
the removal of the Cordon, and the withholding of
every kind of protection from disaffected Spaniards.
" This mission," says the Espectador, " ought not be
intrusted to a worn-out Courtier, whose ideas induce
him to yield to the enemies of his country, and who
would make common cause with the Pavillon Mar-
san, but to a brave and undaunted General, who, if it
should be necessary,would enter the Cabinet of Mont-
morency, booted and spurred, as the Ambassador
for the recognition of the French Republic did when
he visited the favourite Gobor." The article next
points out the necessity of speedily concluding a treaty
of alliance, offensive and defensive,with Portugal. On
this point, it is observed, " that if despots form an
alliance which, by an abuse of language, they call the
Holy, it is fit that nations should form another,which
they may with justice denominate the Most Holy."

Advices were received this morning from Odessa
to the 24th ult. The contents of the letters are con-
fined to mercantile transactions. The number of
vessels was so limited at Odessa that freight had
considerably advanced, and it was generally expected
to continue fur some time.

The French Papers of Monday have been received ;
but their contents possess little importance. It ap-
pears that the English Actors in Paris are about to
give six reps esentations by subscription at the Theatre
Rue Chanteriene, commencing on the. 20th inst. with
the Castle Spectre and Raising the Wind.
The French journals are full of conjectures as to
the cause of the death of the Marquis of LONDON-
DERRY, but they are not worth noticing. A rumour
prevailed in Paris that the PorE had yielded to the
infirmities of nature.

The Moniteur contains an Ordonnance by which the
KING, in testimony of his satisfaction for their ser-
•ices; has conferred the title of Count upon M. YEY.
RONNET, Keeper of the Seals; M. CORRIERE, Minister
for the Interior ; and M. Vtia.m.z, Finance Minister,
and their heirs, in the male line.

Several persons have been put on their trial at the
Court of Assizes of Paris, charged with Carb3narism,
and with conspiring against the Government and the
order of succession to the Throne.

The following particulars of the conclusion of the
trials at Colmar, are in a private letter in the Condi-
tutionnel

" After a deliberation of four hours and a half, the Jury left
the Chamber of Council. As soon as their declaration had been
read, the accused re-entered. The President pronounced the
acquittal of nineteen of them, and directed that they should be
immediately'set at liberty. They were preparing to quit the bench,
but by a spontaneous movement they returned, and all proceeded
to embrace Col. Pailhez, Dublar and Guimind, who awaited
the judgment of the Court. This scene affected all who were
present. The accused who were acquitted left the room, but
they did not appear rejoiced at the liberty which h.“l been re-
stored to them ; many of them burst into tears, and all seemed
overwhelmed with sorrow.

" The accused, who received the sentence of the Court, heard
with tranquillity the ma.riniuns of punishment which could be in-
flicted on them in consequence of the finding of the Jury. Guinand
never lost the air of composure which he maintained during the
whole proceedings; the countenance of Dublar was equally un-
moved ; the Colonel alone seemed somewhat depressal after
hearing the declaration of the Jury ; he was heard to mention his
wife and children, but as soon as the sentence of the Court was
pronounced. he resumed his ordinary attitude.
" The people surrounded the accused as they left the Court,

and testified their satisfaction at the result of theroeeedlngs•
The public pee has not been for a *omelet disturbed.
" The Mayor of Colmar, dressed In uniform, stood before the
Court while the sentence was pronounced, luelpg time Commis-
saries of the Police on each side, and three Serjeants of the Mu-
nicipality behind him."

This forenoon we received a German Mail, bring-

The following are extracts:
FRANKFORT, AUGUST 14.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM ST. PETERSBURGII,
• DATED JULY 20.

68 M. de Poletica, our Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, having
long since requested to be iwalled on account of his
health, he is to be succeeded by Baron Thuyll, who
formerly filled the same post at Lisbon. This cir-
cumstance will a little disconcert those Journals
which eagerly gave extracts from the Correspondence
between M. Poletica and Mr. Adams, on the Ukase
of the 16th September, 18YI, by which his Majesty
the Emperor has regulated the interest of the Russian
American Company; for though the discussion was
carried un In very temperate language on both sides,
it was, notwithstanding, inferred from it that a rup-
ture bet Ween the two parties was inevitable.
" Thus the men who calculate their future existence
only in present disorders, and- who would carry the
torch of war into all parts of the world to rise from
the obscurity which, however, they will not escape,
have once more taken their hopes for realities ; and
the best proof of the good understanding that con-
tinues to subsist between Russia and the United
States, is doubtless the nomination of a new Minister
In the person of Baron de Thuyll de Seraskirchem"
BElCHAilltif, JULY 21.

The appointment or the new Hnspodar gives great
satisfaction, both to the Boyars and the people in ge-
am!, As they hope to be thereby relieved from the
tyranny of the Tm kish Coml:sanders. The Pacha
here has received orders from Silistria to leave Wal-
lachia, with his troops, and the latter have, in fact,
received orders to be ready to march : but now there
is one circumstance in the way, and that is, that the
Pacha must first give them their arrears of pay,
amounting to 500,000 piastres. We have, therefore,
good reason to fear, that so long as this sum is not to
be collected from the country, he will not depart
with his troops. From the moment that the Firman
came, the Pacha ceased to meddle in the civil affairs
of the country ; his functions are now restricted to the
military. The troops, on the other hand, seem but
little inclined to go away, because they think they
shall have to fight the Insurgents in the Morel.
It was usual for the Greek Princes,when they were
nominated by the Porte, to bring with them 80 or
100 needy Greek families from Constantinople, to
whom the chief offices in the State were given. This
was the reason that the poor people groaned under
the Greek Government. The native Boyars dared
not make any opposition. They now see themselves
at once delivered from these bloodsuckers, and have
well founded hopes that all the money will not, in
future, be carried out of the country by the Greeks.
It is reported that the metropolitan Dionysius,who
is still at Kronstadt, has received orders from the
Prince immediately to return to Bucharest, to resume
the functions of his important office. Whether he
will return seems doubtful, because he is accused of
having aided the Hetarists by a contribution of one
hundred thousand piastres.
MARSEILLES, JULY 30.
Accounts from Constantinople say, that the Porte
has taken energetic measures to assemble a powerful
army in Macedonia, and orders to this end troops
from Bulgaria. It is probable that the corps on the
Danube will be ordered to Macedonia, as the Porte
is now certain that this year at least there will be no
war with Russia. It is said to have requested the
Ministers of the mediating Powers, in a Note, to
prevail on the Russian Cabinet, as it is so in-1
clined to maintain peace, to withdraw► its armies'
from the frontiers of the Turkish dominions.—
In Constantinople itself, the party of Haleb Effendi
has at present a decided superiority ; but also many
powerful adversaries, who labour, especially in the',
Seraglio, at its destruction.—This struggle between
the great men of the Empire may lead to important
consequences.
The English Ambassador, Lord Strangford, is said
to have closely connected himself with Haleb's party,
and thereby to have regained very great influence.
