then. Two emissaries of. the itegenCy are sent with
each division. They are charged to re-establish the
ancient regime in the places pn the road. Bourdewult
marches directly by Ciudad Real, Sierra Morena,
Cordova, and Ecija ; Bourmont by Truxillo, Llerena,
and Carmona ; neither of them will regard the small
corps of Constitutional troops that they may meet
with on the way, or the important fortress of 13ada-
Joz ; the ptincipal object is to arrive with a strong
column at Seville, to induce the Cortes to an accom-
modation, or to overthrow the Government; to dis-
courage the Governors of the fortresses which are at
present hardly blockaded; and, lastly, to second the
counter-revolutionary• movement on the rest of Anda-
htl.ia, where the influence of the Royalists is extensively
felt ; and it is hoped that the counter-revolution will
break out of itself; in fact, everything is prepared for it
beforehand ; so that where there are weak Constitu-
tional garrisons it will be difficult to resist the fury
of an ignorant and licentious populace—we may say,
t populace eager for vengeance and disorder. Nei-
ther the weak army of General Villacampa, nor part
of the division of Ballasteros called to his assistance,
can prevent the entrance of the French into Seville,
where alarm and irresolution prevailed even before
it was known that General Bordesoult was advancing;
so that the members of the Government, and the
Cortes, were afraid of shutting themselves up in
Cadiz with the Royal Family, lest they should be
blockaded there by sea and land, and become vic-
tims to the contagion.

A great deal is said of a movement of twenty
thousand Spanish an 4 Portuguese troops towards the
Tagus, which might stop the march to Seville ; but
well informed persons arm that this news is forged
by the Constitutionalists; Generals Silveira and Ma-
rill° were even named as Commanders of the expe-
ditiim, but the forces of the latter will not allow him
to make such movements, when we see them dislodged
from Leon, La Baneza, and Astorga by 1500 men of
General Bourck's division. How long will the Collo.
stitutionalists fly, and when will they fight?
If BOurck reaches Villafranca del Vierro, it will
be easy for him to excite the Royalist party in Ga-
licia, which is kept dowq for want of support. It
may be boldly inferred from all thesefacts, that the
Constitntionalists do not think of opposing to the
French a single mass of 10,000, if we except the brave
Mina in Catalonia.

On the other hand, if the French, when they reach
Seville, do not obtu,; a speedy arrangement, or the
overthrow of the Government, they may be somewhat
embarrassed in so extensive a line, as the national
troops and the partisans that have fled at their ap-
' proach must, however, be somewhere; but as a per-
son of distinction with the army has expressed him-,
sea' in a private letter :
" Let us not be uneasy, the hostile germ is removed from.'
the Pyrennees, the Spaniards WM perhaps tear each other. in
pieces for ten years ; the Constitution of the Cortes will disap-
I pear, and whatever may happen in Spain, it will be re-established
for a long time ; the defenders of Monarthy and of Religion,
are strong enough to combat and to exterminate the Jacobins and
the 100,000 French, whu know very well how to find their way
back to the Pyrennees."

The Prince has required of France a speedy re,
inforcement of 10 or 12,000 men for Catalonia and
Arragon, having given orders to General Molitor to
advance five or 6000 men to Valencia, from which city
a deputation arrived at Madrid on the 30th. There
is reason to fear fatal consequences from the revolu-
tion in that city, on account of the proceedings of the,
Constitutionalists in the several insurrections that
have taken place there.
The above is the substance of the news we have re-
ceived from Madrid up to the 3d of this month. Per-
fect tranquillity prevailed in that city.
The capture of l'Eole has caused great conster-
nation at Bourdeaux.

Mr. Secretary CANNING entertained a distinguished
patty to dinner on Sunday, at Gloucester Lodge.
Viscoitntand Viscountess GRANVILLE gave a grand
dinner on Sunday, at their house in Bruton.street,
Berkeley-square, to a large party of distinguished

Wellington, Earl and Countess Cowper, Earl and Countess of
Aberdeen, the Earl of Harrowby, Lord and Lady W. Russell,
Mr. G. Villiers, &c.

Letters from Rio de Janeiro, dated the 17th of
April, have been received by the way ofJersey.--
Lord COCHRANE had arrived early in March, in pur-
suance of his arrangement with that Government, to
take the command of the Brazilian squadron. A
squadron was prepared for sea immediately on his
Lordship's arrival, and on the Ist of April he sailed
for Bahia at its head. His squadron consisted of the
Pedro Primeiro, of 78 guns, the Peranga fi agate, the
Maria da Gloria and Liberal corvettes, and the Gua-
ranie brig of war. In consequence of reports of a rein-
forcement having arrived at Bahia, it was understood.
'that Lord COCHRANE will merely blockade that port
until he is joined by the Netheroy frigate and two
fire ships. The Brazilian squadron is chiefly manned
by foreign seamen. By an Imperial Decree, dated
the 29th of March, the port of Bahia is declared in a
state of blockade so long as the city continues to
occupied by Portuguese troops.
The number of Deputies to the Brazilian Cortes
which had arrived in Rio Janeiro, exceeded that pre-
scribed by the election law as necessary before the
sittings could commence. They had accordingly met
on the 17th. The Bishop of Rio DE JANEIRO was
chosen President, and Don MANOEL Jose De SOUZA
FRANCA Secretary. The Asssembly then pro-
ceeded to the examination of the elections, and the
appointment of the necessary Committees. As soon
as all the preliminary business is concluded, a day
will be appointed for opening the Session, when the
EMPEROR will proceed in State to the Congress, and
open the Session by a speech from the Throne.
