PARES; DECEMBER 7.

We learn by letters frortiPerpignan that the me-
mcnt the Constitutional troops, under Mina, ap-
proached' the limits of the Spanish territory, the
French soldiers placed on that part of the frontiers
salute.] them by the repeated cries of ,4 Long live the
King !"—" Long live the Bourbons!"
The same letters announce that a traveller, who
had arrived from Madrid, affirms that the Provinces
that he passed through were filled with Guerillas of
the Royalists.
The Cabinet courier, Camio, passed Bourdeaux on
the 27th of November, on his road to Paris. He left
Madrid on the 22d, and was stopped twice on his!
road by the soldiers of Merino, in the environs of
Lerma, and by another troop of Royalists at Mondra-
gon. Nearly all the rich people, and three-fourths
of the population, left the place, and particularly
those who adhered to the Clergy. In about half an
hour after they had left the fort they were attacked
by a divkion of General Itomagosa, which he sent
from the fort.

We have received, by an extraordinary con..-eyance,
the Journals of Madrid of the 27th and 28th of No-
vember ; they contain the finishing of the discussions
'of the Cortes on the Military Ordonnances ; also dif-
ferent reports (official) of Espoz y Mina, to the
Minister of War, which are not later than the 15th
of November, on the first operations in Catalonia.

Don Antonio de la Puente, Secretary of the Spa.
nish Ambassador at Rome, passed Toulouse the '24th
November, post, coming from Verona, bearing dis-
patches of importance to Madrid ; on his road be said
that the decision of the Congress was pacific, so far
as related to the Constitutional Government of Spain.

This forenoon we received Bayonne Papers to the
Ist instant. They state that the French Authorities
still furnish the Rebels with money and ammunition,
and thus endeavour to keep alive the embers of an
expiring insurrection. If, however, the accounts
from Spain by this conveyance are to be relied on,
there is little to fear from the French, as it is stated
that Spain has now 400,000 men in arms, 100,000 of
which are of the line. •

A .Flanders Mail, wish Brussels Papers to the 2d
instant, reached us this morning. Letters from Corfu,
of the 4th ultimo, still report the surrender of Na-
poli di Romania, and state that the Pacha of Aims
has been defeated. Accounts from Tiflis, via Odessa,
state that the Persians are negociating with the
Turks, and that a Treaty of Peace is on the point o:
being concluded.

LORD PORTSMOITM SCAM

appeared in Court, for the purpose of obtaining 'ram
the LORD CHANCELLOR the appointment of a day for
the final hearing of this most important matter.
Mr. WETHERELL, en the part of the Petitioner,
complained that great and highly improper raft.,
tions had been cast upon several branches of this
Noble Family, whom he had the honour to repre.ent,
from the hurden of which they were desirous of being
unloaded as soon as possible.
Mr. SIIADWELL also deprecated all further deny.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, when once he
began again with this matter, he would go on with it,
and not take any other matter whatever until it v.a-s
finished. He should now order it to stand for Thuri-
day next.

Previous to the Duke cfCAMISRIDOt leaving Enz.,

Mr. KEAN played Richard at the Brighton Theatre
on Thursday evening ; but many, persons who Fad
engaged places f.und it impossible to leach the
house, on account of the tempestuous weather.
DnuRY-LA N E.—The Opera of Artaxerxes was per-
formed at this Theatre on Saturday night. Arbaces
and Artabanes were represented by Mr. BRAHAM and
Mr. HORN ; Artaxerxes by Madame VESTRIS, and
Semira by Miss POVEY ; with those able Pet formers
Mrs. AUSTIN, as Mundane, had to sustain a compe-
tition more trying than any of which an opportni.ity
has been yet afforded her. She acquitted herself ail
through very creditably, and was encored in the ar-
duous song, near the close of the Piece, " The Soldier
tired," &c. In the Farce of The Liar, which followed
the Opera, Mr. ELIA STO N'S Young Wilding afforded
much amusement. In the Halt of the Caravan,whic!i
formed part of the varied entertainment of the even-
ing, the Hornpipe a r Anglaise was danced by Miss
TREE, Mrs. NOBLE, and Mrs. BYRNE. The applause
bestowed on the performance was general, and a par-
tial call for the repetition of it was readily complied
with. The whole concluded with the new Farce of
Old and Young, in which we have already noticed the
surprising versatility of Miss CLARA FISH ER's talents.

audience, which was both numerous and brilliaw,
gave the most unequivocal testimony of the evening's
exertions for their entertainment.
The Royal West London Theatre, under the active
management of BRUNTON, in himself a host, con-
tinues to fill nightly. The gentleness and tracta-
bility of the Bear is indeed surprising.
We are informed that a true Bill was on Saturday
found by the Middlesex Grand Jury against a pub-
lisher of Lord Bvnos's Vision of Judgment, for a
blasphemous libel contained in that wet k.
