PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE

"It was strongly reported that Ballasteros had recom-
menced hostilities, the armistice being ended, and had
placed the French in a critical situation ; but it tutus

whole of Estrarnadora, including the garrison of Baths•
joz, about 7,000 men. Complaints are continually ar-
riving to Government, of the depredations and auda-
city of these troops, who live at discretion, the province
being flee of the French, and the Royalists either not
being in sufficient numbers, or not over-fond of coming
to blows, which is pretty general among both partics.
When the Fi ench put themselves in the van, then away
scamper the others to a new position.
" The towns and country are not fayonrable to the
.Constitutionalists, hut they cannot resist them, and must
furnish whatever is demanded without the least pro,
spect of repayment. E•iremadura in conseApience pre-.
sents a scene of desolation, and the Constitutionalists
are obliged to advance on all sides, at all hazards, for
provisions, which accounts for their apparent boldness.
" The release of the prisoners here Ins opinions is not
so rapid and extensive as the first few days led us to,
expect. All who confess themselves to be Masons or
Communeros, are detained, so that all who tell truth,
are infinitely worse off than those who per jute themselves.
1' A letter from Gibraltar of the 25th August, which
I have justseen, states that Batton, the Governor of Bar-
celona; had• arrived at Ceuta, in company with Mr.
Tharndike, an American merchant. That a letter re-
c ived from Barrell, American Consul at Malaga, dated
'23d August, mentions the arrival of Riego there, who
had immediately arrested 7ttyas, Abadia, and silty'
other Qfficers, and banished them to Majorca, problidy
they intended to capitulate on the samz terms as Ballas-
teros. That Sir Robert Wilson had arrived at Gibraltar,
and Lord Nugent had left three days previous for Cadiz,
but they had not heard of his arrival. Flour at Qibraltar

THE. GnEKS,
•
The Greek Committee have published a Report, from-
the pen of Mr. BLAputewn, with a view of ()cawing at
tention to the affairs of Greece, and to the glorious
struggle which she has so long maintained. With re-
gard to the Address itself, we must say that it is much
too voluminous, and, at• the same time, much too vague;
fatiguing to read, and destitute of exact or intereiting
information. Mr. LILA uutexx seeks to recommend the
cause by general reflections, of which all men are ca-
pable ; whereas a few authentic and striking facts il-
lustrative of what the Greeks have actually done—of
what they have suffered—of their present position, and
of their resources for hereafter—would do more to en-
gage the public mind, than whole volumes of indigna-
tion, or pity, or regret for their misfortunes. We need
not be told that the Greeks are Christians fighting. for
libel ty, or that the Turks are infidel barbarians, grind-
ing down our brethren of the faith of Cuatsr with cruel
and contemptuous tyranny. We know all this ; and we
give Mr. I3LAQUIERE credit for the impression which
such affecting truths have made upon him ; but we ex-
pected from him, instead or that lore of sentiment
which he set out with from England on his voyage to
Greece, some portion at.least of the local and distinct
intelligence respecting her, which it was the understood
purpose of his mission to acquire. Mr. BLAQUME
sailed early in March for Marseilles, in company with
Suntorns, a distinguished Greek patriot, who bad
come to Ilondon to inform himself concerning the dis-
positions of the people of ligland towards his country-
men. Mr. DLAQVIEReB object was to ascertain for the
Greek Committee, and through them for the Public,
the precise condition of the Greeks and of their con-
testart object in which we can scarcely say he ha:suc-
ceeded. What we can collect from the Report now be.
fore us is, Ist, That the Greek insurrection was pro-
voked by the Turks, and was very far from being con-
certed with the Neapolitans or Piedmontese--with the
Spaniards, the Pprtuguesp, or the Irish. 2d, That the
cruelties of the Greek soldiers towarfis their tyrants, be.;
sides being provoked, wet e maliciously exaggerated
and that although the Turkish spirit of atrocity
still
continued in its utmost violence, the Greeks bad lately
adopted a more temperate treatment of their captives.
3d, That the Greeks are alive to the benefits of know-
ledge and civilization, and ace anxious to educate their
youth. Now, we believe all the aforementioned state.
silents to be well-founded, and we object to
thetam only
because they are not quite new, while 'prnt
themselves to the Public as the result of a voyage un-1
dertaken in pursuit of what was to be satisfactory,
re/Mout being notorious. Our disappointment in this
respect is proportioned to our ardent sympathy with the
Greeks, and to our unfeigned anxiety for their liberation.
We are slue that materials might have been extracted
from a visit to the scetie of that heroic struggle, bi
which the feelings as well as the judgment of ',Rnglish-
men would be deeply and powerfpllt affected?

This morning we had an arrival from Bayo;ne, with
intelligence from Madrid to the 4th inst. The cap-
ture of the Trocadero was known in that capital, where
it gave new spirit to the Jegency. This letter states as
'a report, that the l!nepcy had held a Secret Council,
as a Chamber of Justice, and condemned forty deputies
of the Cortes tp capital punishment, and fifty others to'
perpetual banishment. Among those condemned to
death, are the names of Gatiatio, Rot.teao, ALrUENTE,
the two ARGUELLES, and ISLARITI. It is said that the
Ccrtes have given full liberty to any of its members to
leave CaJiz, and that only two hay; availed dmaselves of
the offer,and that on account of severe indisposition. A
plot ii.said to have been discovered at Palma, in Mho
jores to effect a counter-revolutitsH, and to deliver up
port Mahon, in Minorca, to the French squadron. The
following i§ the intelligence, of which we have. given'

to know whether Matagorda is also taken. At the de-
parture of the courier, the cannon was firing both at
Cudiz and the Isle of Leon.
66 This new victory gives increased spirit to the Re-
gency, which, depending on the support of the Russian
Cabinet, will not hear of any compromise with the
Cortes; , all, or nothing,'• is the motto of its partisans.
I
On the other hand,. it k not easy to imagine that the
Cortes can be inclined to treat,: if it in true, as reported'
here, that the Regency, in a secret Council, sitting -as a
Chamber of Justice., has Coodenmed forty Deputies to
capital punishment, and fifty others to perpetual banish,
ment to the Philippine Islands. Among the first are
the two Arguelles, Romero, Alpuente, lslarita, G:lllianot,
. fe. This being the case, we may believe that the pe-,
pules are resolved, as they are said to be, to support a
bombarciment4 and to be buried, with the Royal Family,
in the rqins of the place, as such a fall would be more
honourable *an an infamous death or terrible exile.
But how distressing would be the situation of our Prince,
in case such a calamitous event should take place.
, •.,. The partisans of the Regency, however, in their
Meetings affect to regard the Puke as of little weight.
6 We have too many means:- say they, tto subdue
the Revolutionists l' alluding to .the offers of foreign
aid, whence we may infer that the cause of the Consti-
.tssOqn is desperate ; but shall we attn the Pasi4cation
1 which is ardently desired ? It seems that the 'Cortes
have given full liberty, to such Deputies as may desire
•
it, to withdraw from the Congress,. and that only two
have accepted it, who, on account of severe illness, have
asked passports for Gibraltar.
.. 4 plot has been discoyered at ?alma, the object of
which was to deliver the Balearic Islands from the revo-
lutionary yoke, and to deliver Port Mahon to the french
stinadrou in theXediterraneais. A Russian Officer has
been arrested there, who gives himself out for a German,
travelling for a mercantile house in the North. Tran-
quillity begins to be established at Madrid ; except
the Inquisition, everything is returning to its former
footing. The police is still very actively engaged ; the
French are ip general liked; the organization of the Spa-
nish troops goes on slowly, whiCh seems to confirm what
has been often repeated, that the mass of the nation does
not take any interest in %he contest, and even to speak
frankly, it does not like the Constitutionalists, either
throUgh the influence of the clergy, who begin to re-
sume their place, or because their own troops have not
been able to avoid being a burden, while the French
coqtinue to pay for everything with the most scrupulous
punctuality. Thus Chaleco, Eguaguiera, and the par-
iisaqs, being unable to support themselves, have sub-
mitted. We have also the news of the capitulation of
Palarea; Vigo, and Rosello ; nothing must surprise us.
Those provinces, the inhabitants of which are not natu-
rally warlike, like those of Catalonia, have not taken a
step in favour of the Constitution, or to repel the !nye-
, clers,. who have not disturbed their tranquillity ; this was
one el the causes that hindered Baliasteros, whose troops
are lupe same positions, and paid by the French. .
: aims the 25th to the 30th there were some warm
dkulier between that General and Molitor, so that
repulse was apprehended, but till. now they ;loth reipin
