APRIL 12.

A Supplement to the Diario pf this date contains,
news from the army, and gives an account of the
advance of the Constitutional troops: they entered
Mirandella on the Bth in the morning, where they
were well received, there being (says the dispatch)
many truly Constitutional persons in the town,
though the people through ignorance had shewn
themselves so attached to the principles of the factions.
—The rebels were retreating towards Braganza ; Sil-
veira% head-quarters were on the Bth at Quintella.-'.
A dispatch from General Rego, dated from Miran-
della on the Bth at midnight, mentions that the fan_
tious had extorted at Braganza a contribution of
120,000 revs, robbing the public coffers in that town.
Antonio da Silveira proclaimed himself Commander
of the vanguard of the French- army ; he being so
called in a Proclamation of the Ex-Count, which was
found upon a countryman who was taken at Villa Real.

A Morning Paper, commenting on the in.elligence
from Paris which we gave yesterday e: clusir.tly, con-
cludes with these sensible remarks:

"It is clear that the French have errentered as yet no bb.struction, worth mentioning ; they have been -- -
with provisions from home; and have bees
Provinces, where the greatest lnkewarnuaess to the Coestitotioold
cause prevails, on account of the peculiar privilege they bad en-
joyed before the Revolution. Bet as they advance beyond the
Ebro.they will And their supplies straiteoed, a MVO hostile po-
pulation at the close of every day's march; whilst u their army

see no reason as yet to abandon the hope, the BON legetesd of

potism, may become its grave. Every 17:111.119 weerideg

Extract of a private letter from Paris, dated April
23, four o'clock, p.m.
Letters were yesterday received from Madrid to the 10th lost.
I must premise, however, that they come front a quarter which
bas all along desponded. A gond deal of ferment is described
as prevailing in that capital. The patriotic party had been cos-
iiderably weakened or disorganised by the departure of the
Court, the Cortes, and the Militia. Abisbal was exerting him-
self to the utmost to preserve order, and inspire confidant ; but,
notwithstanding all his efforts, the Constitutionalists could not
be re-assured, nor- the absolute-power Junta suppressed. It Is
even said that cries had been beard in favour of the French, and
plots ware hatching to invite their approach.
The affair at Logrono was very serious. The Constitutional
troops, being the rear of Ballasteros's army, behaved with great
spirit. They first fought in defence of the town without its
limits, and when driven from this position, barricadoed the
streets, and fought from the houses. They were at ha repulsed
with considerable loss on both sides.
The French Army of the West will not leave its present po-
sition till the sth of May. It is in want of seeleriel, and waits
the success of operations in Catalonia. The Dttked'Angouletne
does not calculate on arriving at Madrid till the 25th of Ma?. -
The journal des Debots the other day contained some remarks
on the Papers laid before Parliament, and on the 's Where-
dal" of exposing some parts of the correspondence to the eyes
of the Public. The phrases employed have more than a se•
neral meaning, and will so doubt be perfectly understood in
their application by our Embassay here, and the Ministry at
home. They allude to the following anecdote, on the authenti-

city e(willeb inti Ina! lace Complete reliance:—On Wednesday

Am on. fie saying theer diplomatic persons dosed their
political gossip ; and Sir C. is not any longer to be among the
meet faveatad Ministers." I have not heard how our Minister
bore the reproach, or If it is likely to produce any other effect,
either at boost or abroad, than saving a little of Mr. Canning's
tithe, had a little superfluous trouble to the Secretary of the
Embassy.
In consequence of Information the French Ministers have re-
ceived respecting the exigencies of the new Spanish Regency,
it has been determined to assign 2,000,000 francs for the support
of their dignity, until they are installed in Madrid. There has
been a species of Spaniard-hunting among the Police of late, and
every Spaniard who refuses to take the oath of allegiance to Al
Nero, the Archbishop of Tarragon/. and his ;oitijsitot 5, is or-
dered to quit the kingdom. Two or three days ago, some young
men, from Buenos Ayres even, who were placed in an academy
in Paris, were told by their preceptor' that they must either
swear allegimice to the Spanish Junta or leave France. They
preferred the fatter alternative.

The Duke of YORK visited his NI/carry yesterday.

It is said that Sir ROBERT WILSON, accompanied by
a son of Lord ERSKIss, left town on Wednesday even-
ing for Falmouth, with the intention of embarking for
Yr, to join the Spanish Army.
fhe " Bachelors of Bath," to whose elegant atten-
tions the fashionable circles have been so often in-
debted, on Friday se'nnight, gave a Fancy Ball, that
outrivalled in splendour any scene of polished amuse-
ment which that city has witnessed. It was attended
by all the rink, beauty, and, fashion of Bath, to the
number of nearly five hundred.
Wednesday, the Non-Commissioned Officers of the Plymouth
division of Royal Marines had a dinner at the Prince George,
(Mrs. Rues's) Stonehousr, in honour. of the birthday of their
beloved Sovereign : and it is creditafiTe to themselves and to the
fine corps to which they belong, that they kept it up to a late
hour is the most perfect harmony and good humour.
FUNERAL OF SIB CHARLBS BAMFYLDF.--YESIET-
day morning, at eight o'clock, the remains of this un-
fortunate deceased Gentleman were removed from his
late residence in Montague-square, for interment at
Hardington, in Somersetshire. The procession con-
sisted of several attendants on horseback, a hearse and
six, three mourning coaches, containing the relations
and intimate friends of the deceased, followed by up-
wards of twenty Gentlemen's carriages.
BAKED MONKS !—ln the Monastery of St, Bernard
it is the custom to preserve the dead bodies of the
Monks, and afterwards place them erect in niches
along the walls. This is effected by baking them for
five or six months in a very slow oven, contrived for
the purpose, and they will remain thus preserved for
centuries, without changing or being the least offen-
sive. They are dressed in their hoods and cloaks when
placed up.
The late Lord CLONMILL, who never thought of
demanding more than a shilling foran affidavit, used
to be tatisfied,prowided it was a good one. In his time
the Birmingham shillings were current, and he used
the following extraordinary precaution to prevent
being imposed upon by taking a bad one: You
shrill true answer make to such questions as shall
be Cletnanded of you, touching this affidavit, so help
you GODI, Is this a good shiaing? Are the contents
of this affidavit true? Is this your name and hand-
writing r sec.

When the Emperor AUL:UNDER was in this coun-
try, e►en our dock-yards, arsenals, &c. did not fill him
with surprise equal to what he expressed nn beholding
and comprelninding the Mail Coach system : and he
observed that he should never consider his own do-
minions as approaching to anything like a state of
civilization until there existed in his kingdom some
such system.
