BAYONNE, SEPTEMBER 16.

The Journal of St. Sebaltian, of the 13th, an-
nounces officially the complete defeat of the band of
Zabala and his associates, in the neighbourhood of
Aspeitia, on the 10th of this month. The result was
the entire dispersing of the band, which consisted of
1,000 men. Forty were killed, and six taken pri-
sonets—three of whom were shot on the spot, and
the three others pardoned, they having proved that
they served by compulsion. The rest dispersed among
the mountains, This defeat is confirmed by the ar-
rival at the port of "Socoa (in France), last night, of
two Spanish boats, having on board thirty-five of
the Defenders of the Faith in a deplorable condition,
who have been all put under quarantine. These poor
creatures relate that, in fact, the bands of Zabala,,
Guesala, Uranga, &c. have been beaten and dispersed,
and that they are not the only persons who will seek
refuge in France in consequence of this affair.
We have just received the correspondence from
Spain of the 9th, which arrived at Irun with an escort.
IThe letters of the 12th, which should have come to-
' day, will not arrive till to-morrow, but everything
shews that the Spanish Government has taken ener-
getic measures to secure the communication. The
following are some extracts :

31ADRID, SEPTEMBER 9.

IThere is no indication of anything to interrupt the
publii tranquillity of the Capital at present ; the en-
thusiasm for the new system increases in proportion
to the obstacles which are raised against it, and neither
the progress of the Royalists in Catalonia, u hick can-
not be disputed, nor the alarming reports *bids

that M. de Lapanouze, whom it has always placed
at the head of the protettory of the Trappists and 6f
Eguiat had ordered 10,000 chakos (soldiers' cape) foe
the Army of the Faith; that he had, indeed, given
counter orders, but had been obliged to take 2000,
which were already made. The same Journal pre-
tends that, according to letters from Parisrand from
the frentiers, the plan is, to form a line of insurrec-
tion from Catalonia to the Basque Provinces, in order
to furnish the Holy Alliance, in the Congress at Ve-
rona, with an opportunity to support the interference
of Fiance in our dissensions; but it flatters itself that
this line will not be formed, and it shews the ne-
cessity of proving to all Europe that we have suffi-
cient strength to punish our internat enemies, and
that we are inclined and resolved to defehd our in-
dependence against all foreign attacks.

The Journals give no news of the military opera-
dons in Catalonia ; the reports in the Universe!, how-
ever, shew that General Torrijos has been forced in
his position at Cervera by the Royalists, and that he
had•no communication with Barcelona. Manresa and
'Mataro were closely pressed on the 30th by the Ca-
talonian troops, commanded by Baron d'Erolles, who
had fixed his head-quarters at Berga, having under
his immediate orders the flower of the Army of the
Faith, composed of about 10,000 men, well armed
and disciplined. Manresa and Mataro were fortified,
and had adopted several internal measures of defence.

The Univcrsel of the 7th states the resistance which
the battalion of Lugo made on its passage through
Villa Franca. On the 22d, in the evening, after re-
ceiving orders to march to Astorga, they uttered
seditious cries against the Constitution ; and when
the Commander harangued the battalion on the 24th
they refused, and the march was postponed till
the next day. They had taken it into their heads
that as soon as they entered Castille, they were
to be incorporated into the standing army, and
that their Officers were to leave them. This mis-
conception being, with some difficulty, removed by
the exertions of their Officers, they consented to
march the same day for Astorga, whence they will
probably have been sent to Valladolid.
The band of Rojo de Valderas, which infests the
Province of Valladolid, has been completely beaten
and dispersed at Belver de los Montes.
The interest of the loan is regularly paid in the
capital, amidst all the embarrassments which the Go_
vernment experience at this moment.

Extract of a letter from the Agent to LLOYD'S, at
Buenos Aires, dated June 23.—" It is reported that
the island of Chiloe has surrendered to the force which
was sent against it by the Government of Chili, in the
end of March."

The Paris journals state, that the Duke of Wit-
Ltacroa was to set out for Vienna on Saturday, and
that he was expected to reach that city on the 29th.
We are sorry to learn that the health of his Grace is
by no means re-established. The nature as well as the
cause of his Grace's indisposition are variously stated;
we believe the first attack was occasioned by the ap-
plication of a violent remedy to cure a temporary
deafness, or perhaps the gradual approach of that in-
firmity, which is said to have wholly affected his head,
and to have produced great agony and fever ; so that
at one time his medical attendants are rumoured to
have apprehended disastrties consequences, their
patient did not procure ease in the course otit:certain
night. The balm of rest came, and convalescence
followed. The melancholy death of the Marquis of
LONDONDERRY is also said to have so far affected
his Grace as considerably to retard the recovery of
:his health.

OVA RDA BLUE, o,s THE FOLLOWING CHARGES;
First.—" For neglEcting to-comply with a Regimental Order,
18th April, 1521, respecting the settlement of his regimental
debts, due to the clerk 4f his troop; though frequently applied
to by the clerk of the troop tor that ptirpose.
Schaaf._— Fur disgraceful conduct, in giving two drafts tv
the asea.roan of the regiment, on the Agents, which drafts were
diallieilfed, about the 94th June and 7th July, 1822. ,
Third.—" For being repeatedly absent frun his regimens
without leave, in the year lan ;--311 such conduct being highly
prejudicial to goad order and milker; discipline, and unbecoming
the character of an placer and a gentleman."
Previously to administering the oath to the 3lem-
• rs assembled for the trial, the JUDGE. A ovOcars, ac
usual in all cases, addressed the prisoner, saying, it
was his duty to announce to him that if he had oh.
jection to any Member of the Court, it would be pro-
per for him to mention it. when their names were
called over, and before such Member was sworn.
Captain Jebb stated, that he objected only to two
Officers.of the Blues, and was about to specify them,
when the JUDGE- ADVOCATE interfered, and said, that
the time would be when they were about to. be sworn;
Captain Jebb sat down.
The JUDGE-ADVOCATE proceeded to swear in the
Members, among the first of whom were Colonel C.
Hill (brother to Lord Hill), and Colonel Drake, M.P.
of the same 11.4.....iment. The prisoner repeated his
objection, which, it appeared, was directed against
these two Officers.

The JUDGE-ADVOCATE immediately intimated to
these two Officers, that they should sit down for the
present, while the others were sworn, when the ob-
jection would be taken into consideration ; airsl at the
same time asked Captain Jebb, if he meant to object
against any of the other Members? To which he aa•
swered, « Certainly not."
The remainder of the Members were then sworn in.

This ceremony having been gone through, tl.•e
JUDGE-ADVOCATE rose and said, that two Members
of the Court had been challenged, and that, there-
fore, previously to entering upon the business of the
day, it would be necessary to close the Court for the
purpose of investigating the subject ; and that
Court wolild probably (as he should conceive it
duty to advise) require that Captain Jebb should st.e.e
his grounds of objection.
The prisoner requested that his Counsel might Le
permitted to state his grounds of challenge, which he
had already submitted to the Duke of York.
The JUDGE-ADVOCATE intimated, that anything
which Captain Jebb had to state to the Court in sup-
port of his objection, would of course be received,
and duly attended to.
Mr. SCOTT then submitted in writing an objection,
which the JUDGE-ADVOCATE read to the Court, and
Which was as follows :

" That as it would, it was hoped, be proved that the 'present
charges had originated in an entire misconception on the part of
the prosecutor, there was reason to believe, that Lieutenant-Co-
lonel Clement Hill being of the same Regiment, and brother of
the prosecutor, Sir Robert Chambre Hill, necessarily partook of
the influence of that misconception; and that Colonel Drake bad
already expressed himself in a manner that proved him to have
already decided upon the charges.
" lie said, at the same time, that there were other causes of
challenge, but that Captain Jebb was desirous, from motive; of
delicacy to the Officers themselves, of avoiding to make them
public ; thatit was in consequence of this delicacy that he had, at
the moment of which he was aware of their appointment, ap-
plied to the Adjutant-General, and, also, he believed, to the Might
Honourable Pentleman's department."
The JUDGE-ADVOCATE remarked,- that in the ap-
plication to his department, Captain Jebb was clearly
in error, though '.14-bad no doubt it was done inad-
vertently, yet he (the Judge Advocate) being the
Minister of the Court, it was improper to apply to
him upon any subject connected- with the formation
of the Members who vitti*-to sit upon it; as a subject
of the present nature unfit:come before him. wheti the
Court was assembled, and he would have to advise
upon what should be done. He then made some ob-
servations upon the present objections, which he.
would thus publicly declare he could not consider
sufficient ; and such would be the opinion he should
give to the Court when closed.
Mr. SCOTT then observed, that it was with great
diffidence that he should say anything that militated
against such authority ; that he would only submit
tor the purpose of recalling to the mind of the Right
Hon: Gentleman, not merely the practiCe of the
Courts Of Common Law, which were well understood
by all ; but of Courts-Martial,- where even the cir-
cumstance of an. 011icer sitting out of his tour of that
duty had been deemed sufficient for hit removal ;
that it would necessarily be recollected on the part
of Captain Jebb, . wltose delicacy upon the subject
had been maikei by previously annOuncingbis ob-
jection to the authorities, and even to the:Officers
themselves through the Adjutant, that it was not the
individuals, but the common circumstances of our
nature that he referred to; since it.could not be sup..
posed, that where Iklembers had previously. decided
upon a ease,—
The Junca-AuvocAra here stopped Mr. Scott,
saying that if he meant to address the Court, he must
be aware that that was not permittekto any one but
the patties interested.—The Court was then closed.
On re-opening the JUDGE-ADVOCATE announced
the decision of the Court seriatim, upon the objec-
Lions taken, and that they did not consider them of
sufficient force.. He then desired to know of Captain
Jebb if he persisted in his objections? and on being
answered in the affirmative, stated that another had
been handed to him on the part of Captain Jebb, and
wished to know if it was his desire to urge it?
Captain Jebb declared it was.
The Court was then ordered to be closed.
Previously to quitting the Court, Captain Jebb, at.
the desire of his Counsel, begged to declare big im-
pression to the Court, that in no instance whatever
had two Members continued to sit upon a Court after
the objections that had been made.
On the Court re-opening,

objections were held by the Court insufficient; but
that bearing this decision in view, which rendered
any imputation on the two Members impossible, it
was for them to say whether, as there was not a suf-
ficient number without them, they had any wish to
retire.—The Members chose to retire, and the case
proceeded.
Witnesses were ordered out of Court,•but Mr. Bux-
ton, Captain Jebb's Solicitor,•was, after some discus-
sion, allowed to remain.

Colonel Sir It. C. HILL then commenced the pro-
secution by reading a short address, stating, that in
presenting himselt on this occasion he did it with
great regret; that he had had a constant desire to
avoid bringing forward these charges against Captain
Jebb, who had been so long in the regiment, but he
bad felt it his-duty to do so. He hoped that if he
should be found wrong in any point of form he should
obtain their indulgence. He then called
Adjutant Hirst, to produce a Regimental Order of
18th April, 1821, dated at Head-Quarters, Cavalry
Barracks, Windsor. It related to the first charge,
and directed that the troop debts should be settled
every three months, and that the clerks of troops
should assemble on the Bth of January, Bth April,
Sth July, and Bth October, for that purpose.
Quarter-Master Speed was then sworn and exa-
mined. He had regularly presented the accounts to
Captain Jebb, who had not settled them, nor taken
any steps according to the Order.
The troop book was then produced, and the Quar-
ter-Master pointed out an account which had run•
from the 24th March, 1820, to the Bth June, 1821,
when it was settled by Captain Jebb.
Cross-examined for the prisoner.—Captain Jebb
saw the books every quarter, and he knew the Regi-
mental Order for quarterly payment; he never point-
edly asked Captain Jebb for payment, as he was his
Captain, and witness only clerk of his troop. Cap-
tain Jebb had at times applied for his account, and
when he did, he got it ; he did not pay at these times
immediately; his last account was paid on the 19th
August. On being asked if he had suffered from non-
payment? he answered, Yes, in his character; and
ti:ea threw a letter upon the table, from Mr. Jen-
nings, of Windsor, dated the 4th of June, who had
not been paid a debt due at that time, nor till the
Bth. It was the custom of the Lieutenants to pay
him regularly. Captain Jebb had asked him if he
wanted money, and he had said not immediately ;
in no great hurry; believes Captain Jebb had said,
if he did he would give him some. Did never to
his knowledge receive a bill from Captain Jebb that
was not paid.
Examined by the Cousts.—Did not presume to ask
for money ; presenting the accompt was the same
thing. Ile was only clerk, and Captain Jebb was
his Captain.'
On the Second Chargez—Corporal Bell, messman,
proved that a cheque upon Greenwood and Co. had
been given him, and was not paid; C:tpt•.sinJebb was
surprised, and gave him another for £32, with a letter.
It was not paid.
After a tedious and uninteresting examination, the
witness said Captain Jebb had paid him, but not at
the time ordered. Being asked how long-after? he
said, half an hour! This answer provoked excessive
laughter in the Court and'auditery.
Corporal Mayor, the mess-clerk, had presented the
cheques.
Mr. Pyle, clerk to Grcehwood and Co. the same.

Cross-examined for the prisoner.—Captain Jebb
had, at the time he drew the cheque, two drafts pay-
able to his order, deposited irr the agents hands,
amounting to more than 1:500.
On the Third Charge—Adjutant Hirst (being re-
called) proved that Captain Jebb 1,14 d been absent
lour times this year.
Cross-examined for the prisoner.—Did not recol-
lect him to have been ever absent without leave be-
fore, since he had been in the Regiment, which was
ten years; nor that he had asked leave since the Re-
giment came from Windsor.
The prosecution here closed. and the Court ad-
journed to a future day, when the prisoner will enter
on his defence.

VIENNA SEPTEMBER 10.

PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)
On the Continent there is no public Paper which
can be the organ of truth t nowhele can persons
dare to speak the whole truth in political matters.
The Ultras have made the Sovereigns believe that
the People wish to dethrone or to put them to death :
this is a fiction. The quarrel is, and will be, only
between the Ultras and the Liberals—that is, between
the feudal nobility and the middle ranks (bourgeoisie).
The grand question to be resolved is this—Shall the
Sovereigns be the heads of the minority of a nation,
or of an entire nation ? In England the distinction
between the nobility and middle ranks does not exist
as on the Continent. This is the reason why the
greater part of the English cannot form a clear idea
of the struggle which is preparing in every Conti-
nental State.

The King of England has the legal power of ap-
pointing any citizen, whether son of a Lord or Com-1
mover, to' any employment he may think proper.
This is a right with which the people of the Conti-4
nent wish to see their Sovereigns invested, and which
the Ultras do not wish to allow Sovereigns, much as
they revere them. Who is it, then, that wishes to,
abridge the Royal prerogative ? The Liberals, who
say the King ought to have the right of appointing
any of his subjects to any employment whatever; or
the Ultras, who pretend that the King dates not
choose all his Officers, civil and military, except from
among a certain number of noble families? The
pretension of the Ultras is a very natural consequence
of the difference between the English Nobility and
the Nobility of the Continent. In Enand the title
belongs only to the eldest son of the family ; on the
Continent, all the sons of a Nobleman or a Gentle.
man pretend to have a right to the title as well as
the eldest. Hence a crowd of titled Cadets, without
means of subsistence, averse to all exertion, who find
themselves impeded by their titles in the ordinary
pursuits of life. All of them demand honourable em-
ployments of Government, as well as a matter of
right as of favour. Hence the source of the evil, the
talent of the citizen cannot force its way through a
crowd of titles. The Austrian army has not produced
as many good Generals ill 20 years, as the peasants
of the Tyrol produced in three months. It is Impossi-
ble that any Constitution, whether that of Cadiz, or
the Charter of Louis XVIII. can succeed, unless the
Nobility be previously reformed after the English plan-
-The Spanish Constitution cannot proceed without
a Chamber of Peers, and the French Charter cannot
establish the reign f law, while there exist 100,000
tided Cadets. Until the necessary reform of the Eu-
ropean Nobility shall be accomplished, there will be
no means of governing except after the manner of
old France or of old Poland.

Let an English Minister have the good sense and
the courage to tell the asseMbleil Soveleigns the truth
..the whole truth : let him assure them that all their
cif its to tranquillize Europe will be in vain, unless
they begin by reforming the Nobility.
Let the Congress of Sovereigns pronounce as a
general law—the title of Nobility shall not henceforth
descend except to the eldest of afamily—there shall
no longer exist two nations in each Continental State.
Internal peace will be the consequence, which it will
be vain to endeavoer to establish by any other means.
