4. An event similar to that which happened at Ma-
drid, before the entrance of the French troops' into
that capital, has taken place at Seville, which pre-
vented us from receiving information from that city
and Cadiz. The Extraordinary Gazette, which I send

you, contains all.the details. • The inhabitants'of se4

King, bavd been massacred the :time as at Madrid,

Bourmont, 'wive& at Seville with from 1,200 to
1,500 men, two ev. three days before our troops,
thinking to find. the Crites there. The people .re-
fused to 'receive hint, inddefended themselves bravely.
He had even to make use of artillery. The people
were at length dispersed, and Lopez Banos forced his
way into the town, and had time to levy- large con-
tributions, with which he .ran off, like Pepe. Lopez
Banos retreated, at the approach of our troops, to
the frontiers of Portugal, not being able to prpceed
to Cadiz, as General Bourdesoulle cut off his commuz
nication. Half of his band deserted him before he
left the Faubourgs of Seville. The advanced guard
of General Bourdesoulle was on the 18th at Utresa,
three marches front Santa Marie.

" A courier from. Seville brings some fresh ae-
counts of the deplorable scene which took place on
the departure of the King. Open violence was em-
ployed against these august prisoners. The Prin-
cesses were exposed to great outrages; the young
Queen was seen to weep. It is certain that several
MeMbers of the Cortes and a number of Counsellors
of State hive remained secreted at Seville. The
Royal Family were carried to Cadiz and lodged in
the Custom-house ; and it is said the Cortes remain
in the Island of Leon, as it will offer to them a better
chance to escape individually. The corps diploma-
tique remains at Seville, aad have refused to follow
the Constitutionalists.

" P. S. The moment I am closing my letter, a report
prevails that the troops of Lopez Banos bave been at-
tacked by a party of cavalry of General Bourmont,
who have taken from them the money which they pil-
laged at Seville."
MADRID, JUNE 24.
On the 20th of this month arrived in this capital
Colonel Boatourlin, Aid-de-Camp of the Emperor of
Russia, to complitnent the Duke D'Angouleme on
his successes in Spain. The mission of the above Co-
lonel is a new proof, on the part of the Emperor of
I Russia, of the interest which he takes in the deliver-
, ance of the Spanish nation. •

PERPIGNAN, JUNE U.

The positions of the Constitutionalist: are one league
from Barcelona, and four leagues from our troops.
The two French officers who were taken at Mataro,
have been condemned to be shot, and were executed

carried off from their posts, 20 men and one officer
of the Army of Faith.

SEVILLE, JUNE 18.

After the departure of his Majesty and the troops,
this town was in a state of anarchy. On the morning
of the 16th General Lopez Banos presented himself
before the Faubourg of Triana, with the remainder
of the troops which were commanded by Abisbal,
and afterwards by Casteldorius. Instantly the inha-
bitants were in motion, and the fire commenced from
the cannon at the head of the bridge. The Consti-
tutionalists experienced a considerable loss, but by a
neglect of good order in the town, General Banos
succeeded in entering Seville. The town was in the
greatest consternation; all the houses were shut. The
exact number of killed and wounded cannot as yet,
be ascertained.

JUNE 17.—The troops of Lopez Banos continue
in the town, but are ready to depart, at the same
time the soldiers are running about the town pillaging.
JUNE 18.—This morning Lopez Banos evacuated
this capital, after having taken two millions of reals;
in contributions.
We are assured the vessels which took those em-
ployed in the King's suite have returned from Cadiz,
and state that the Royal Family entered on the 14th at
four o'clock in the morning : none of the Ambassadors
have acknowledged the Regency, not even the Eng-1
lish Ambassador. •

A decree has been published, signed by the Duke
del Infantado, which orders to transmitwithourdelay,
instructions to the Governor of Ceuta, not to suffer
to enter that fortress, the Cortes or any Revolutionary
Governor.

is, indeed, difficult to conceive why the Spaniels Chsi.l
nerals have been so inactive, unless 'they hive
found the spirit of the population against them, and
that they have been employed in keeping down any
movement in favour of the French. The following
is the intelligence from Bayonne:
