to go to Spain.
We hear that M. Otivrard has ceased, since the Ist

We have heard the whole day a brisk cannonade

Brussels Papers to the 16th reached us this morn-
They state that the Egyptian squadron is dread-
alllicted with the plague, and that the flotilla
kill not be able to sail this summer to aid the Turks.
The same scourge has extended ils ravages to Larissa,
Joannina, and Arta, and it has lately shewn itself at
nevesa, In general, wherever the Turkish troops
come to make any stay, the plague does not fail to
appear in a few days afterwards, in consequence of
the wretchedness and filth which accompany them.
_Such is the situation of the new army a hich the
Porte is endeavouring to form to oppose the Greeks-
Hitherto this army does not increase, except in the
bulletins of the partisans of the Porte.
European Tut key is quite exhausted by the cam-
raign of 15...n-IS(2`2, in which the principal Turkish
troops were destroyed. The entire annihilation of the
army which penetrated last year into the Nlewrea, still
dampi the courage of the Ottomans, and the want
cf money puts it out of the power of the Government
to attempt anything serious against the Greeks.

Nester Jay his MAJESTY gave a ,grand dinner to
several of the Nobility and other Persons of Distinc-
tion, which terminates, it is supposed, the Royal Fes-
tivities the present season at Carlton Palace. As
soon as the weather settles his MAJESTY will make
an escntsion to sea.

In the course of the ensuing month the alterations
making in IVintiNor Castle will be completed, and
the Castle will be ready for the KING'S reception.—
His nsiesTY is expected to sojourn there in Sep-
tember and Octobex to partake of the amusement of

sho, ting.
The Prince de PoLIGNAC, the new French Ambas-
rador to this Court, is expected in London in the

course of a few days.

Some wag, knowing the avidity with which the
Irish journals devour tales of riot and murder, played
ahoex on one of them a few days ago, by sending from
Liverpool an account of an Orange riot at that town,
on Saturday last. The writer stated, that 19 persons
had been killed and 100 wounded, of the Lodge to
which he belonged ! The Irish journalist to whom
this exclusive intelligence was communicated, gave
it with all the typographical distinctions usually at-
tached to affairs of importance, and announced further
particulars on the morrow. That morrow, howmver,
never came, and the journalist discovered that 'one of
those tricks called hoaxes, had been passed upon him.

We copy the following article from the Morning
Chronicle, without in the least pledging ourselves for
its authenticity, of which, we confess, we have consi-
derable doubts. The same Journal gives a Procla-
mation by General Quiroga; but where or when
issued, we are not informed. In this Proclamation
there is no mention of Morino, nor the Most distant
allusion to the conduct attributed to him by Sir 'Ro-
bert Wilson. The General states, that " whole bat-
talions of those which were called of the Faith have
deserted their brethren the Spaniards, to combat the
invader ;" and he promises complete amnesty to all
iho will follow their example.
" 110 not," -says General Quiroga, " believe that
the Duke d'Angouleme or the Cabinet of Paris have
proposed to themselves, as they say, to restore our
King to a Throne which we never took from him,
but which we, on the contrary, defended at a high
price. To possess themselves of Spain is what they
intend, for an object silrilar to what Napoleon pro-
posed to himself. The Litter took us after his con-
quest to gain possession of the North of Europe. The
present French Government has offered us to Russia,
to conquer with us Turkey, which she has not been
able to subdue hitherto."
The Proclamation thus concludes—" Our corn.
mon mother demands our union. Sacrifices, valour,
and constancy, are exacted by the state in which we
are. War, war, against the French. This is demanded
and hoped for from all our fellow-citizens."
FROM THE DIARIO CONSTITUTIONAL DE LA
CORUNA OF SUNDAY, JULY 13.
CORUNNA, JULY .•,
General Wilson, having on his arrival at Corunna
known that the new Regency of Seville had, on his
arrival at the Isle of -Leon, restored to the King all
his Constitutional authority, wrote to the Count of
*Carthagena (MoriUo) to inform him of the event,
and to desire that as he was charged with distributing
aid to the patriotic Spaniards defending their Consti-
tution, they might unite to secure the internal peace
Jul' the province, whatever might be the opinion of the
Cortes as to legislative measures, so as to oppose the
foreigners invading our country.
The Count of Carthagena did not accept this pro-
position, but on the contrary suggested to general
Wilson to counsel the Spaniards in general to submit
to the enemy, and, notwithstanding the restoration
of authority to the King, to disobey the Cortes. Gen.
\Vilson having received this answer, transmitted it to
tieneral Quiroga, with the following letter:
" &Not .Gzano...x.—t have the honour to send your Excel-
c7 copies of the correspondence which has passed between
'ie Count of Cartbagena and myself.
" Your Excellency will see that I took advantage of an or
Prtunity which appeared favourable to•penetrate the views of
Jibe Count of Carthagena, and to re-establish the hastriony and
.union so desirable, and on which depends the general safety.
" Unfortunately, the understanding between General 110.11110
and :he invader opposes invincible obstacles.
" I shall conclude, that all sacrifices which a stranger can
make, and which honour permits, I shall always be ready to of-
Ic in behalf of the generous Spanish people ; but in the present
state of things, and in the situation in which I am placed, I can
de no more than repeat my determination 'to auger the same kit
the Spaniards, be it what it may.
" I pray your y.acentncy to receive the assurances ofthe high
thnsideration, &c. " W./BLISS WILSON.
