Although we are without any later intelligence from
Spain,- than that which we yesterday communicated, yet
there is strong reason to believe that the destruction of the
army of Baron d'Ettoms was followed by the capture of
that Chief of the Army of the Faith. Such an event is
only important as affording an hostage of equal rank to
the Constitutionalists for guaranteeing the life of RIEGO;
but passato iz poitto, gabato it Santo, and as the Baron's
services are ended, perhaps they have not left so grate-
ful an impression on the party for which he fought, as to
make his life an object of nine!' anxiety.
A report prevailed in Paris on Saturday, that MINA,
undismayed by the overthrow of the Constitutional
Government, and the submission of almost every
province in Spain, had determined that Catalonia
should not yield without a struggle.• It is said that on
hearing of the arrival of the King of SPAIN at the
French head-quatfters, he appointed a Regency of
Government for the whole kingdom during the capti.
vity of the KING (for so he is said to call his liberation),
and declaring, that so long as his MAJESTY should be a
prisoner in the hands of the enemy, no Decree or Ordi-
nance which he might issue should be considered as his
own, or be obeyed. These reports do not rest on any audio.
I icy which we can guarantee, but those who recollect the
tardy submission of MINA on a former occasion, and
the obstinacy with which he maintained his authority
in the same provinces, on the return of King FERDI•
NAND from France, will not be much surprised at his
contumacy now. MINA may possess many of the qua-
lities necessary to render him the Sir WILLIAM WAL-
LACE of his country ; but Spain, in the nineteenth cen-
tury, is not the country for a WALLACE.
The Duc d'Aueout.asia is retrograding from Cadiz.
On the sth instant his head-quarters were at Port St.
Mary ; on the 6th at Xeres, on the 7th at Lebrija, on
the Bth at Utrera, and on the 9th, at Alcala de Gua-
daira, two leagues from Seville.

The Garde Royale had arrived at Cadiz, where it
would embark for Brest. BALLASTEROS is evidently
out of favour, and has been ordered to Grenada, there
to await the Ktxo's orders; while Montu.o is said to
have been confirmed in his command.

The following is an extract from the Etoil: of Satur-
day evening : -

RECAPITULATION OF THE EVENTS OF THE
• CAMPAIGN.

On the 2d of April, before entering Spain, the Duke
of Angouleme addressed a Proclamation to the Spa-
niards, and expressed himself thus:
[Here follows an extract front the Proclamation, in which the
Duke stated that he came to deliver the King, to restore the Altar
and the Throne, to rescue the Priests from proscription, &c. and
that he came neither to impose laws on the Spaniards, nor to occupy
the country.]

Next day, the 3d, in an Order of the Day addressed
by the Prince to his soldiers, it is stated —" It is not the
spirit of conquest which induces us to take up arms. A
more generous motive animates us. We are going to
replace a King on his Throne, to reconcile his people to
him, and to re-establish in a country a prey to anarchy
that order which is necessary to the happiness aud the
safety of both States." His Royal Highness closed the
Address by recommending the most exact discipline,
which has everywhere been religiously observed. Such
was the commencement of a war destined to place in so
conspicuous a point of view French generosity and glory.
On the 6th of April the army was put in motion. The
Bidassoa was passed on the 7th, and his Royal High-
ness was received at Irun with cries of Live the King!"
Live the Duke of Angouleme r'—cries which were
the presage of the sentiments with which the French
were welcomed throughout Spain, and the pledge of the
success which on all points has accompanied our arms.
On the 17th the white flag was waved on- Vittoria;
on the 22d on Burgos ; on the 25th on Saragossa.
On the 24th of May the Prince - Generalissimo was
received as a deliverer in the capital of Spain. A new
proclamation repeated there the motives and the pro-
mises stated in that of the 2d of April.

In anticipation of hostilities, the King of Spain, the
prisoner of the Cortes, was removed with the Royal
Family to Seville.

The revolution not being terminated at Madrid, the
army of the centre continued its March.
On the ISlth of June the Cortes comidering thentielves
no longer safe in Seville, decreed the departure of the

ging, in spite of his refusal, declared his dethronemen:
until his arrival in Cadiz, and exercised the most odious
violence-towards him.
Cadiz, at the southern extremity of Spain, reputed
impregnable, could not be so regarded by our soldiers.
The Prince Generalissimo was there and directed them.

Seville received our troops with acclamation. Gre-
nada fell on the 25th of July. Cadiz was invested by
land and sea.

Meanwhile other armies were besieging the small
number of places which still held out, or pursuing the
enemy wherever resistance might be made.
Catalonia, Arragon, the kingdoms of Valencia, of
Leon, and of Galicia, have been the theatre of some of
the most brilliant feats of arms. Coronae, at the western
extremity of Spain, on the coast of the ocean, surren-
dered on the 21st of August. Several Spanish Chiefs
successively made their submission. Cadiz still re-
mained, and to it all eyes were turned.
The fort of the Trocadero, which protected Cadiz on
the land side, was carried on the 31st Aug. amidst cries
of Long live the King ! and by prodigies of valour.

Sarni. Petri, one of the bulwarks of the Isle of Leon,
was taken on the 20th of September by the fleet. Three
days previously, Pampeluna, the capital of Navarre,
fell ; and on the 27th St. Sebastian and Figueras yielded
to the courage and the ardour of our troops.
The Ist of October crowned these high deeds. The
King of Spain, at liberty, repaired with the Royal
Family to the head-quartersof the Duke of Angouleme,
and on the 3d, Cadiz surrendered. Thus were glorious
events precipitated. Thus in less than six months all
Spain had submitted, and its King was delivered.

EXTRACT OF A PRIvATE LETTER.

" PARIS, OCTOBER 19.

" Scandal! scandal! scandal!—Savary's Memoirs art
1 about to appear : Talleyrand is in the greatest alarm on
the occasion,' and he has had two audiences of the
King, in which he entreated his Majesty to insist on their
suppression. The King said it was out of his power:
he could not cisange the law. Talleyrand then hinted
that he could write something, if he chose, relating to
events much anterior to the narrative of Savary: he
evidently intended to hint at the affairs of his Majesty
himself, but the King feigned net to understand him,
and was silent. Talleyrand's attempts to procure the
suppression through Savary himself sere equally fruit-
less; and the latter, to show his resolution, sent the
manuscript to his Majesty, who read it with attention,
apd does not, we believe, disapprove of the publication."
Frankfort and other German Papers to the 15th inst.
reached us this mousing, but they scarcely contain a
' single article of interest. The Austrian Observer says,
that the dismissal of DSCHANIB EFFENDI is• a proof of
.the desire of the Porte to arrange existing differences
with Russia, towards which the conferences of Lord
STRA NGFORD with the R EIS EFFENDI on the 30th of
August may be considered as a great step.
We stated yesterday that the reverses of the Turks
had been admitted in the Austrian Observer. It now
states that though the Turks have entirely failed this cam-
paign, the Greeks are not united, and one half of their
victories are mere fabrications. But it is allowed that
they will, in spite of all disadvantages, long keep what
they have gained, unless the military operations of the
Porte are conducted with more ability and energy than
they have been in this campaign.
The Editor of the Nuremberg Correspondent corn-
plains that the French Journals alter and disfigure arti-
cles which they pretend to translate from the German'
Papers.

FLOODS IN PIEDMONT.
TURIN, OCTOBER 9.

We hear from Vercelli that the Sesia, being swelled
by heavy rains, overflowed its banks on the 26th and
27th of September, and did great damage thereto
for the space of two miles below the bridge which
crosses the high road from Turin to Milan. The beau-
dad antique church del Casali, called the Old Capu-
chins, was destroyed by the fury of the waters, and a
large garden, formerly belonging to the Inquisitioq,
was overflowed. The Magistrates seeing the church in
imminent danger of falling, caused the fine marbles of
the high altar, which well merited to be preserved, to
be carefully. removed. The waters of the Sesia rose to
such a height, that in some places they approached
within a few inches to the canal of Prarolo: the greatest
exertions• were necessary to prevent this misfortune,
which would have ruined the fertile territories of Pra-
rolo and Pezzana, and ruined the high road from Ner-
celli tq Alexandria and Genoa.— -Picdmontese Gasette,
October 9.

We. have. received letters from Brazil to the 90th
Auglist, containing some' curious information relative
,to Lord-Cocalanz's proceedings at Maranham. It ap-
`pears' it.rat- his Prlfihip *rived- at Maranhao) on the
27tli_Of August, in the Brazilian lisse-of-battle ship Don
Pedrir the first, soon made isimself master of the place,
hoisted the Imperial Brazilian flag on the forts, and
then seized in the harbour 16 Portuguese vesseli, and
also detained several English vessels, which were sus-
petted of having Portuguese property on board. Some
arrangement was likely to be entered into with the
owners of the property.
After the subversion of the Portuguese Authorities in
Maranham, a vessel was dispatched to Para, where a
convocation took place of the Authorities, and on the
11th the EMPItItOIt was proclaimed with the usual so-
lemnities. Para and Maranham were the last provinces
that adhered to Portugal, and the whole of Brazil,
therefore, has now renounced the mother country.—The
following letter is from an eye-witness (an Englishman) to
his friend in London:

A Liverpool Correspondent, under date of Oct.l

" A letter from a Gentleman in Maranham, dated August 93,t,

Considerable anxiety is felt by the Monied Intern
both in this country and in France, as to the Spar.i!
Loans, lest they should not be recognized by the nc
Government; and our Ministers are blamed for not i
terfering. But whatever course our Government m.
adopt, and we have no doubt that it will be reg
lated by a due regard to the rights of British su
jects, all interference at present would be prematur
for we have no positive information that the Loans rs
even be disputed. It is true a Decree has been giv
in the French Papers, purporting to have been issu
by FERDINAND from the French Camp, which deck'
all the acts of the Constitutional Government null al
void. It is however remarkable, that in all the accout
from Spain this Decree is not mentioned, nor is there tl
slightest allusion to its existence; its authenticity, then
fore, rests solely on the veracity of the French horrid
—The clause which revokes all the acts of a Gown
merle during three years, is too sweeping to be cane
into effect, and must lie qualified in its operation; as
we have to doubt, that whatever may be the wishes(
the Spanish Ultra Royalists on the subject, the lor
will find that he must recognise loans contracted forte
der his authority, and of which he participated. Eng
land, France, and even Spain herself, are too dentlyit
terested in the subject to suppose that so gross a km
of national faith will be committed.

The Morning Chronicle has what it calls some "ct
rious information" respecting the conduct of our GI
vernment towards South America.. Our Readers wi
readily perceive hew important and how curious it i
when they read the following picture of this country:-
" The present state of the United Kingdom is full.ofdi
ficulties. An enormous public debt, a depressed agrical
tore, Ireland filled with misery and discontent, theslip
ping interest in the lowest state of adversity, the We
India Colonies in a state of rebellion, and the macs
facturers at present the only flourishing class of b
MAJESTY'S subjects." How unfortunate! that they shoe!
not partake of the universal misery; but it will rem
home to them soon, for the sage Chronicler predico
‘g that they are about to be deprived of the imams
consumption which South America affords for Ase
labour." 0 fie on the Government to send some eigi
teen or twenty Consuls and Vice-Consuls to 50.1

sand pounds a year each, for no earthly purpose ho
that of reducing English manufacturers to the Oa.
and discontent" of Ireland, to "the adversity of the del
ping interest," and to " the rebellion of the Colonies!!
But what is all this to the appalling crime one del
Ministers has been guilty of. We have seen how es'
