British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and the.
Agent of the Madrid Regency, was last night *seined
to Parliament. It affords a g9od comment ontheTe•
tersbnrgh Manifest's, which we noticed in the STAit of
Tuesday, as' audaciously asserting that the only dif-
ference betwecn Great Britain-and the Continental'
Powers was, as to the mode of interfering with Spain :
CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN DON VICTOR SAEZ
AND MR. SECRETARY CANNING.

" Stn—l have the honour to transmit to your Excellency the
letter by which his Serene Highness the Regency of Spain and
the Indies has the honour of communicating to bis Britannic
Majesty its installation, which took place, with the greatest so-
lemnity, in this capital, and which has been followed by the re.
cognition of his Royal Highness the Duke d'Angoukme, in the
name of his Most Christian Majesty.
" Ills Serene Highness, in directing me to request that your
Excellency will present to his Majesty the King of Great Bri-
tain the said letter (of which I have the honour to inclose a,
copy, as likewise of the documents relative to the nomination of
the Regency), has ordered me to express to you, at the same
time, his anxious wish to cultivate the relations of friendship
which have always subsisted between our august Sovereigns.
" I shall feel happy in contributing to fulfil the wishes of his
Serene Highness in this respect; and in the meantime, I have
the honour to assure your Excellency of the high consideration
with which, dte. (Signed) " VICTOR SAEZ.

Foreign Office, June 19,
.1823.

" Sta—l hare the honour to acknowledge the reedit of the
letter which your Excellency did me the honour to address to
me on the 7th instant, announcing the installation of a new Re-
gency at Madrid, and inclosing a letter, addressed (as you inform
me) by that Body to the King, my Master.
" The _Regency of Urge!, some months ago, and more re.
cently that which was instituted after the entrance of the Frineh
army into Spain. successively addressed letters to me, announcing,
in like manner, their assumption, respectively, of the Govern-
ment of Spain.
" To neither of these communications has it been thought ne- 1
cessary to return any answer; and, if I now deviate from the
course pursued in those two instances, it is only because I would
not appear to be guilty of incivility, in sending back your mes-
senger without a written acknowledgment of your letter.
" I have, however, nothing to add to that acknowledgment.
The King, my Master, having a Minister resident near the per-
son of hit Catholic Majesty, cannot receive I, communication of
this description ;—and it is, therefore, not consistent with my
duty to lay before the King, the letter addressed to his Majesty,
which I have the honour herewith to return.

The French Papers of Thursday reached us this
morning, by Express; but they contain little intelli-

... _
gence of any interest. The following are extracts:

. FROM Tilt DRAPRAU PLANC.
PARIS, JULY 17.
NEWS FROM SPAIN AND THE FRONTIERS.
Az, JULY B.—Owing to the little interest the mi-
litary operations had of late on our frontiers, I did
not write; and particularly since the divisions of St.
Priest and Baron Eroles quitted Seu for Cardona.
The blockade of the forts of Urgel has not been
effected ; but it is announced that a reinforcement of
300 to 400 Frenchmen have joined the blockading
party,. and the siege will be undertaken with vigour.
According to the Ministerial Journals, who now do
not seem to be so positive on the surrender of Cadiz,
it appears that two revolutionary parties have de-
clared themselves, and a great diehrence of opi-
nion prevails: the most moderate party wishes
for the safety of the Xing, at the head of which are
Romero Alpuente, and Gasco, Ex-Minister of the
Interior ; the other, called the frenetic party, wish-
ing to sacrifice, in time of danger, the Royal Family,
is conducted by Galliano and Arguelles ; but the
whole of the military power is invested in the person
of General Valdes, Military and Political Chief of
Cadiz, and Commander of the naval forces: Alava,
Riego, and Ballasteros are the Lieutenants.
Our Ministerial Journals have not for several days
announced anything further of the blockade of Seu
de Urgel, which they led us to believe would soon
surrender. It now appears to tile contrary, as the
operations are for the present abandoned.
PARIS, JULY 17.
If the news from Spain is to be believed, there was.
on the Ist, 2d, and 4th of July, a series of combats,
in consequence of which, Lopez Banos and Ballas-
teros entered Seville on the sth. General Bourmont,
after having supported the attack of the enemy with
much vigour, thought fit to concentrate his forces on
the coast of San Luca:. CThere are two San Lucars,
one at the mouth of the Guadalquiver, the other
ten miles west of Seville.] According to the same
news, the Spanish army occupies the road of Carolina,
and the defiles of the Sierra Morena which lead to it..
The battle of Barcelona appears to hive been a
sharp action. It is said that. the division of 1,600
men under the conduct of Rotten, is that which had
the most serious engagement with the 3d and 18th
Regiments of the Line, and the sth Hussars. The
manoeuvre of this Spanish General effected a serious
diversion, and contributed much to balance the. for-

•
tune of our arms.
An engagement has taken place in Galicia between
the division of General Bourek and the troops -com-
manded by Quiroga, who seems to bate succeeded
Nlorillo in the command of the army.
