ALICANT, JULY 2.

Ale:ough at first sight it appears, that the return
of the expedition has paralized the operations of the
East. we never had greater or better founded hopes.
for this part, since, notwithstanding that the expedi-
tion has not had all its effect, real and true advintages
have been obtained over the enemy, such as-
-Ist. Preventing Such from dividing his forces,
and assisting the enemy's army acting in Castile.
2. Taking Col de Balaguer, and making 200 of
its garrison prisoners ; taking 19 pieces of brass ar-
tillery, which were embarked, and compensate for
the.l7 of iron which were ibandonad after having
been spiked,' r 4
3. Havinf takes from the enemy the protection
afforded by. 'fteCd de Balaguer, which has been
ruined.

4. Destroying the lines which the enemy had in
Porto de, Albaide, Mogen, 011ena, ice.
5. Fatiguing hove measures with marches and
countermarches, in the rigour of beat, Suchet's
troops. The latter arrived at Valencia on the 23d,
and part of his troops although very much fatigued,
set out for Catalonia by forced marches.
Extract from the MANIFESTO.ot the REGENCY Of
SPAIN, relative to the conduct of .the NuNcio of his
HOLINESS in these kingdoms, dated the Bth of July,
signed L. de BORSON, Cardivalde Scala, Mrchbishop
ci Toledo, president :
.4 The Regency, it is said, would 'be wanting in
the most essential of its obligations, cif it did not put
an end to the dangerous mentturtis of the Nuncio of
his Holiness in these kingdoms, G!avina,
Archbishop of Nicea.
16 His political conduct bas for a len time been
,such that the Regency almost considets it wearer,
'to excuse itself for its long forbearance, but 'Whilv
there was a shadow of hope that he would &Civet

• -
his error and not exceed the limits Of his legitimate
faculties, the Regency belieTes it ought to respect
the name and dignity of this Prelate, and the repre-
sentation of the HOLY FA rim, by whom he had
been sent.
44 The Regency moved by these powerful consi-
derations endelmoured to-turn him from his purpose,
first by arguments, andifterwards by remonstrances.
Seeing the inutility of these, it intimated to him,
though with great regret, that if he continued his rash
conduct, it would see itself under the necessity of re-
moving him from these kingdoms
46 The Nuncio, however, obstinately continuing in
his former conduct, a conduct so incompatible with
the public tranquillity and destructive of the autho-
rity of Government, the Regency saw itself under
the harsh but indispensible necessity of carrying into
efleil the banishment threatened, and the occupation
of his temporalities, as imperiously required by the
sacred law for the preservation of the State and of in-
dividuals.

44 The Tribunal of the Inquisition, introduced inn).
these kingdoms by the Catholic Sovereigns, Don
Ferdinand and Donna Isabella, having been abctliched
by-the Cortes after a mature and deliberate examina-
tion, they re-established in its stead the law of the
partidas, and ordered chit the Decree and Manifesto
I in which they explain the just and powerful reasons
which had induced them to abolish that tribunal,
should be rend in all the parishes of the monarchy in
the offertory of the greater mass, for the information
of the people.
so The Nuncinorettended thatthe Inquisition could
not be abolished-without the COnaltilt of his Holiness,
and made that representation to the Regency on the
6th of March, writing, at the same time, to the Bi-
shop of Jaen and to the chapters of the vacant Sees
of Granada and Malaga, declaring his opposition to
the Decree and Manifesto, exhorting them to conform
to his dictate anekcharging them to proceed with the
greatest mere,
6t The Regency, on the 23d of April, by the Mi-
nister of Grace and Justice, admonished the Nuncio
not to exceed his authority, since any excess in that
respect on his part would be contrary to the rights and
Iprivileges of the Crown • and td prevent any ill im-
rion published a Manifesto, directed to the Pre-
arer: and Mercers, informing them of the conduct
of the Nuncio.

- - -----
gg The Nuncio, through the intervention of the Se.
cretary of State, transmitted to the Government on
the 28th of April a note, expressive of his surprise at
this resolution, and that it had been communicated
to him by the Minister of Grace and Justice, and net
by the Secretary of State.
gg This note was accompanied by copies of the let-
ters which he wrote to the Bishop of Jaen, and to
the Chapters of Grenada and Malaga, and an answer
to the official note communicated to him by the Mi.
nister of Grace and Justice, which contains the fol. '
lowing expressions, sufficiently strong to give offence
to the Regency :
gg That he could not but believe that he was under
an indispensable obligation to act as be had done in
quality of Legate of the Pope, and in fulfilment of
the duties of his ministry; that though he wished no-
thing more than the peace and tranquillity of the
kingdom, and it was contrary to his character to in-
termeddle in other subjects than those belonging to
the duties of his legation, yet in ecclesiastical matters
he was obliged to engage in that correspondence and
communication which was required of him by the du-
ties of his office ; and, as it these words were not
sufficient to offend the Regency, he adds, 66 that if
the conduct of corresponding with the Reverend Bi-
shop 4 and acting as he had before done, gave any
offence to the Cones, they might act as they thought,
proper relatively to himself, as he believed that his
conduct would merit the approbation of his Holiness,
and that it would give him a great satisfaction to
know that in support of the character of his represen-
tative, his Legate, looked with the greatest indif-
' terence on his temporalities. He was answered, ill
the dispatch of the sth of May, that his surprise
would have been just, if the note of the Minister of
Grace and Justice had beets in answer to his memo-
rial of the sth of March, which he presented as Nun-
cio; but that in this note that subject had only been
mentioned incidentally and relatively to the letters
which he had written as Archbishop of Nieea to the
Bishop and Chapters, exhorting them to delay, and
even refuse obedience to the decree of the Cortes, and
in reference to the expressions which had called the
attention of the Cortes, and of which they applied for
an explanation. In his answer of the oth of May,
he continued to insist on what he had Sefore said,
adding, that he considered himself as obliged to
maintain correspondence with the Bishops and Chap-
ters at once to receive from them their explanations
and elucidations, and to exhort them to the fulfilment
of their respective duties-and of the oath which they
had taken to defend the rights hf the church and of
the Holy Apostolic See, that such correspondence
WAS necessary for the due discharge of the ministry of
the. Nuncio, and were authorised by the practice or
all churches, who on this subject seat written letters
to the Bishops and Chapters, enjoining them to secrecy
for maintenance of order and public tranquillity.
66 The Nuncio adds, that the greater part of the
Bishops, even those who were resident in Cadiz, had
made known their opinion on this subject, in the
hope that, as Legate of the Pope, he would take that
part which he should judge proper, and that he had
therefore been induced to give his advice and in-
struction to the Prelates and Chapters which he had
done in the manner suitable to his office; and that
he should pursue the same conduct whenever similar
subjects should be in question.
‘i This declaration took away all hope that the
Nuncio would depart from his determination to
offend against the rights and privileges of our c:iptive
King ; and though the Regency was for a time re-
strained by its respect and reverence for the Pope,
and the esteem and affection which it entertained for
his Nuncio, after having heard the *pinion of the
Council of State in defence of the irpprescriptible
rights and privileges of the crown, resolved, as au-
thorised by the laws and by the history of all Catho-
lic nations, to direct that the following Note should
be communicated to the Nuncio :
gg Note from the Minister'of State, communicating
to the Nuncio his removal from those kingdoms, and
the occupation of his tenipontlities in them :
