BAYONNE, NOVEMBER 1.

General Mendez Vigo has been conveyed under-an
escort to Bordeaux, and confined in the fort of Hat.

The Spanish officers and soldiers who are prisoners
of war at Pengueux and Bourges are strictly confined.

General Morino has fully recognized the King as
absolute, and sent a deputation to compliment his Ma-
jesty. With respect to Ballasteros, it is not certainly
known whether he commands the Constitutional troops
that have advanced towards Cuenca, or whether it is
Balanzat. Ztyas is in the Serranea de Ronda, and
General Bourdesoulle has sent troops arter him.
People hope that on the arrival of Ferdinand at Ma-
drid all will be adjusted.
We have the following accounts from Madrid, dated
,25th October:

The political state of Spain has not changed since
our last communication. The disbanding of the Con-
stitutional troops, however, continues, whether they be-
long to the corps of Itiego or Ballasteros, or are pri-
soners of war. The officers are at the disposal of the
Government, but without pay, for want of funds.
The plan for the new Royal Army has not yet been
published. A new organisation of the Provincial
Militia, is also spoken of as shortly to take place; but
we well know the mania which prevails in Spun of
issuing Decrees without calculating the means of carry-
ing them into effect. If the machine of Government
had received such a shock under the Constitutional
system, that the Government of the Cortes could
not exist without burdensome loans, how will the
King be able to satisfy all the claims on the treasury,
considering the disorder which reigns in all branches of
the administration, and the small hope of an effectual
remedy being applied? People speak of the new loan,
and the hesitation cf the King to recognise those made
by the Cones, at least it seems that his Majesty would
not be averse from giving to thilenders of the 100 mil-
lions of reals, credit for the funds which served for the
support of the Royal Family during the Constitutional
Government*. It is certain, however, that this subject
seriously occupies the attention of the Spanish Ministry,
which sees the difficulty of borrowing in foreign coun-
tries, without first recognizing the loans of the Cartes.
However this be, considering the actual situation of
Spain, we apprehend that the holders of Spanish bonds
of the Cortes, both old Nnd new, and foreign capitalists,
will find the Spanish Government wholly unable to pay
the accumulated interest of the loans of the Cortes,
sppposing they should be recognised as valid, and still
less of contracting new engagements, whatever secu-
rities and guarantees may be offered, unless France or
England will be surety.
The first Power is the most likely to render this ser-
rice, and it is what Ferdinand aims at, though it does
not appear how he will be 'able to indenthify -his good
allies, without some territorial sacrifice. In the midst
of these embarrassments Ferdinand still so far depedds

on his resources, that he has already given orders to send

immediately to the Havannah, and then to Lima, the
poor remains of the. Spanish navy, consisting of the
Asia, ship of the line, two frigates; a corvette, and two
brigs. If we may believe the reports in circulation this
expeclitioa will be seconded by some French vessels,
which will join it in America.
It is affirmed also, that the French commerce will en-
joy henceforth, at the Havannah, and in the Colonies
which are not yet independent, several very important
.
privileges; in fine, that Ferdinand thinks of long
making use of the support of the French for preserving
the integrity of the Spanish territory. It is said, that the
occupation of Cadiz and the Isle of Leon has become a
subject of dispute with the Cabinet of St. James's, in
reference to the English commerce. We may observe,
•
that Gibraltar will soon feel the effects of this occupa-
tion ; that is, as soon as the lgnglish goods which are in
Cadis are disposed of; for the French, being masters of
that place, will deluge Andalusia with their own goods,
and will establisli those factories and connections which
they had not before. The differences said to exist be:
tween the Cabinet of St. James's and Ferdinand attract
the attention of the Constitutionalists, who, though not
satisfied with the English, would wish, however, to see
them masters of the Balearic islands; which they con-
sider as the only means to check the ambitious views of
a Northern Power, and save a great number of unfor-
tunate Liberals who havelaken refuge there.
The journey of his Royal Highness to Madrid, pre-
ceded by the headivarters,"the assembling of the chosen
Cavalry about his person, the return of Molitor to Mur-
cia with a division,. are all indicationsaif the return of
part of the army to France, which at thh same time will
secure the provinces of Alicanr, Carthisgena, Valencia,
and Arragon, -on the one side, aitcl .Andalusia, L•+
Mancha, and Castille, on the qther ; tbese movements
Will also protect the Royal Family on their journey to
Madrid. But on the other hand, it bas resulted from
'all this that General La Rochejacquelin having been
called with his troops from Truzillo arid Toledo, the
left flank of the army was exposed, and- the Empeci-
nado took advantage of this to return towards Truzillo
and attack Caceres, where the Royalists attempted to
defend themselves : it was on the 18th that that Gene.
r.►l, at the head of 20Q horse and 300 foot, took the
town by storm,_and_sut to the sword'2oo of Que-
sada's troops, and some. Monks. and Priest;, seit;rig fife
to the Convent of St. Francis, in which they had sought
refuge: He left the place on the 21st, with the booty
. whidi he had made. The Duke of Reggio, on hearing
(.1' this affair, immediately sent General Marguerge to
Truzillo with 1,200 men.' It is thought that Cartha-
gena and Ahearn will submit, as Peniscola has dune.

'W .have received some farther accounts from Deme-
rara and Essequibo, which reach to the 1 ith Sept. The
general tranquillity of these Colonies remained undis-
turbed, though some isolated cases of outrage had
occurred.

The following General Order had beenr ecently issued:

" Head-quarters at Camp Home, --mera, Sept. 2,1823.

" His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has deemed it neces-
sary to direct, that -no punishment shall be inflicted by any owner,
manager, or attorney of the property on fhe east coast of this

der his Excellency's Proclamation of the 20th ult. for any irregula-
rities committed by them during the late revolt.

George Town and 3lahaica, and a copy thereof taken by the pro_
prietors, attorneys, or managers of the different estates.

It is stated in a letter from Essequibo, dated Sep-
tember 16, that the plot hid extended' to that settle-
ment, and that its tranquillity was merely owing to the
concerted signals not having been made in the town.
On the 12th, 14th, and 16th September, two attempts
were made to surprise the posts at Nabaclis, at which
place the two overseers were murdered, and the build-
ings at Plantation Farm set fire to, and almost entirely
