This morning we received accounts from Bayonne to'
the 26th ult. bringing intelligence from Madrid to the
22d. The King of SPAIN,. it is. said, will pass the
autumn either at Toledo or"Arinjizez, and norreturn to
Madrid until the end of the year. The report of the
Due D'Aecioutassa disapproving of the conduct of the
KING is revived. The evacuation of Spain by the
French troops has already commenced, but it is said
30,000 will remain ; 15,000 or 16,000 of which will go
into cantonments on the Ebro. The fortresses are to be
provisioned for eight months. Orders have been given
to station troops to escort the Duke in his way to France.

A letter from Madrid states, what we have heard by
another conveyance, that the brave but ill-fated RIEGO
was found poisoned in prison. Several liberal Journals
have been excluded from Spain. The following is the
only article in our Bayonne news not mentioned yet :
" His Majesty the King of Spain has just nominated
General Marquis de Campo Sageado, President of the
Council of War; General Carojal, Captain General of
New Castille; General Cam, Captain General of Gre-
nada ; and M. Leon de Cairo, Corregidor of Madrid•
Three hundred prisoners, who were already on the
way to Trance, have suddenly received orders to stop.
It is said that they will be divided into three classes—
,
the first, including all the Constitutionalists who are called

.xaltados, will continue their route to France; the 2d
will be composed of those' whose conduct, requires to be
watched ; they will be placed in a depot : the Sd, will
be formed of all the young men who are supposed to be
misled from whom nothing is to be feared, and who
will be sent to their homes.

Accounts from the environs of Caceres say, that
General QUBSADA has hid that town summoned to sur
render, but that the Governor has replied, that he can-
not obey the orders of the King- whom be considered
as a prisoner in the bands of foreigners. Badajoz also
does not seem disposed to surrender, and the Go-
vernor-General CASTEL nos Rios has caused all the

decrees issued by the KING Since be left ;Cadiz :to
be burnt by the public executioner. In general Es:.
tremadura is not tranquil, and troops continue to be
sent to that province. It was reported at Madrid, that
the city and province of Carthagena had declared itself
independent, and that the Ex-Deputy Rost caoALetrawros
had been proclaimed Consul. This seems a very ytlrb-;
ordinary piece of news, though in a time of revolutfon
everything is possible, and it is probable that Spain will
be long in a state of agitation."

It is stated in the ;toile of Friday evening, the%
Barcelona has capitulated. Although this intelligence
may be premature, yet it is'scarcely to be expected that
MINA should hold out when there is so little iational
hope of his example being followed. Happily he was;
in sufficient force to exact honourable' term; from the:.
besiegers. It is ri said, that the fortresses of Hostal ich
and Tarragona are included in the capitulation:,
In another column we have given an article from the
LJournat des Debate on the future policy of the Leitch

Cabinet, which may almost be considered as deaii-ofEa
cial. The most important fact it mentions has already
been anticipated in the STAR, namely, that the Decrees
issued at Port St. Mary, Xeres, and Seville, have been
modified. A week ago we stated that they had bee
suspended, and were confident that they.would not be
carried into effect. The French claim all the tacit of
producing these « consoling results"—if there is any
merit in dissuading a Sovereign from a system of policy
which could not fail of being ruinous. We suspect, how.
ever, that it will be found the French have not been 11l
only advise's of FERDIRAND.
It will be seen from this declaration that an Army of
Occupation is to be left in Spain ; and certainly, unlest
France was prepared to' abandon all that she has done,
and to leave the country in the same state in which she
found it, she could ,not,do otherwise. The parties in
Spain are too violent and too nearly balanced tcLexpee;
that they should be at once reconciled. Whethei the
presence of a French army will contribute anything to.
Wards such an end is doubtful, but it may at least pro.
tect the existing Government.

In another part of our Paper we have given the Cot.
respondence which took place between the King of
SPAIN and the Duc d'ANcoutzum previous to the sur-
render of Cadiz. From the letters of his Royal High,
ness, it will be seen that lie could not have done other-
wise than oppose the intolerant Decrees of the KING,
since he stands pledged to recommend a general am•
nesty, and to persuade the KING• to give, or at least
promise, liberal institutions to the Spaniards.

It was to be expected that the manly and eloquent
speech of Mr. CANNING at Plymouth, when the Corpo-
ration of that town presented him with its freedom,
would be honoured with the abuse of one, at least, of
our contemporaries; in this, however, the Morning
Chronide stands alone. 'The Times, with more candour,
acknowledges that it is " a happy display of just tea•
seming and accurate description, enriched by magni-
ficent language and splendid imagery." The Chronicle
calls it 4. a piece of pompous declamation, which may
please fools, but will deceive nobody." In the latter
observation we perfectly agree;—it will deceive nobody;
for he that runs may read init a fair and open expOsitien
of the conduct of Administrafon at a crisis of great de-
licacy and great difficulty.
Let France enjoy her triumphs over a divided coun-
try ; a nobler boast is that of the British Minister who,
preserved the country from war, and hos been lessening
its burdens, and augmenting its resources, while our
neighbours have been exhausting theirs, in schemes
where victory gives no glory, and success confers no
benefit. Well might Mr. CANNING, after remarking on
the policy of our not engaging in the war, ask ‘. Is
there a man that does not, now see what would
have been the extent of burdens that would have been
cast upon this country ? ,Is there any one who does
not acknowledge that under such circumstances the
enterprise would have been one to be characterised only
by a term borrowed from that part of the Spanish liter
rature with which we are most familiar—Quixotic—an '
enterprise romantic in its origin, and thankless in the
end?"--Yes, there is one—and that one the Editor of
the Morning Chronicle.

The Lord Lieutenant has appointed Sir Sr. Vi Went
COTTON, Bart. to be Deputy Lieutenant for Cambridgeshire.
Tuesday, Mr. Wirtra, the President of the Board of
Controul, bad the honour of introducing Cueuvoruca Pintas,
Esq. to an audience of his MAJESTY at Windsor Castle, previous
to his leaving England, to assume the duties of the Lord Chief Jus-
ticeship, at Calcutta, in the place of Sir Hearty &nue; deceased.
His Maasvrr was graciously pleased to confer the honour of Knight-
hood upon the Learned Chief Justice.

We are glad to learn, by the fallowing extract of a
letter from Gibraltar, dated the 9th of October, that
several Members of the Spanish Cones and Goren-
ment have escaped from Cadiz :
11 GIBRALTAR, Ocr. 9.—Since the departure of King
Ferdinand from. Cadiz, there have arrived.in this Bay
upwards of 200 persons of different descriptions from
that placer many Deputies of the Cones (among whom
sat -Arguelles, Savedra, and Galliano) five Generals
came in to-day, in a boat, put tatl board by the French
Admiral; one is Valdez, and another. Alava--the latter'
two, it seems, were to have been arrested by an order
from Ferdinand, as well as Quiroga and Wilson (also in
this Bay) but notice was privately given them by the
French General in Cadiz. Wilson and Quiroga took the
hint immediately, and got on board the steam-packet.
Valdez and Alava said they would not quit, as they bad
committed no crime, when the French General went hi
person, and succeeded in persuading them to accom•
pany him on board the French Admiral. AU, intact.
who have been prominent characters, are letting of
from Spain. It is hinted that the French will garrison
Ceuta: they have now three large frigates at Aigesifos.
and one brig of war here. An expedition, composed d
10,000 French, and a like number of Spaniards, for
SoUth America, is also spoken of. What a pretty. float
the Spanish Constitution has had ! I was right, you will
gee, in my conjectures of its fall, but I miscalculated k
***ration. Ferdinand, I think, has learnt nothing, and
wkspiare nobody. I trust England will look to he
own interest, and beware of the French." •
