This forenoon we received intelligence from
Bayonne to the 9th instant. An article from Madrid,
dated the SOth ultimo, states, that in consequence of
the arrival. of an extraordinary courier from Paris,
the Council of State was assembled on the preceding
day, to examinea very important communication
made by the Allied Powers, concerning the change
to be made in the Constitution decreed.hy the Co- rtes.
The debates were extremely animated. The partisans
of a change shAwed the necessity of it, on account of
I the critical situation of affairs, and the disasters which
afflict the nation; but the Members of the Coancil,of
the zealous Constitutional party, though inferior in
numbers, decidedly rejected the proposal, the bare
report of which has irritated in the highest degree
the minds of the people.
The final result of the meeting is not yet known,
but it is generally believed that the liberal party
will triumph. On this 6ccasion a report is spread.
that Sir WILLIAM A'Couter, the British Ambassador,'
waited on the kiiro, and gave him to understand,
that if he thought fit to reject the proposals of the
My Alliance, he might depend upon all kinds of
assistance from his Government, to repel every in.
.vasion by foreign troops.
The account adds—" We believe, however, that
this story is a mere fiction of the violent patty, who
take .pleasure in circulating a report throughout the
Peninsula, that a treaty of alliance will speedily be
included between Spain and Great Britain; the sole
object of which report is to encourage people's minds;
which are rather depressed by the defeat of Tasvanca
and the progress of EROLLES, which they daily read in
the Bulletin of the. Regency oftrgel, which is clan-
destinely circulated in the capital. At all events, the
reception that Sir W. A'CovnT daily experiences at
Madrid, proves the desire of the Patriots to engage
the nation in their cause. It is also hoped that an
offensive and defensive alliance will be soon con-
cluded between Spain and Portugal. It is certain
that the exchange of couriers between the two Cabi-
nets is very frequent."
The accounts from Bayonne state the arrival of
military stores in that town, but no troops. Lieute-
nant-General Count AUTICRAMP, with the whole
Staff of the Veventh Military Division, had also find
his head-quarters there, and five hundred horse ar-
tillery were expected. The road from Iron to Ma-
drid is now safe, and the intercourse of couriers be-
tween Madrid and Paris is frequent, and meets with
little interruption. There is nothing new from the
three disturbed provinces. The Constitutionalists
have occupied the coast from St. Sebastian to Bilboa,
and continue to make excursions into the interior, in
concert ss ith the Magistrates : this has had so good
an effect that there arc no bands of above forty men ;
but, on the other band, the distlict of Santander is
greatly disturbed by the remains of the bands of
Biscay and Cuebellas, which have thrown them-
selves into it.
The Royalists still occupy Irati, and the valley of
Roncal. A column of 1500 men advanced towards
Taialla, for the purpose, it is said, of protecting the
at rival of QUESADA, who was even-said to be, on the
Ist, at Sos, in Arragon ; but there is no positive in-
formation on this head.
The Board of Health in Bayonne had received an'
express from the French Consul at Cadiz, with the
news that the epidemic disease had manifested itself
in that port. A courier was immediately sent to Paris,
Letters received at Bayonne from Madrid, by ex-
press, speak of the approaching execution of a plan
for a Dictatorship in Spain, at the head of which
would be placed General BALLASTEROS, with the title
of Generalissimo of the Army, and full powers.

The French Papers of Sunday have been received:
their contents are not very important. The Editors
of the Opposition Journals, whose cases are to he
heard by appeal to-morrow before the Court of Cas-
eation, have published a vindication of their conduct.
A Montpelier Journal asserts that waggons, cha-
riots, and ammunition, pass daily in great numbers
through that town for the frontiers. For several days
past detachments of mounted gendarmes had arrived
at Perpignan, with Officers to organize them. They
are to be employed in aid of the Police and Army of
Observation. A battalion of the 7th Regiment of
Infantry of the Line and some companies of other Re-
giments entered Perpignan on the 4th, to .garrison
the town.
An estafette which arrived at Toulouse on the 6th,
was the bearer of orders relative to the disposition of
the troops and their new quarters, in. consequence of
the breaking up of the Sanatory Cordon of the Py-
rennet'. General Count de Llama BILAIR having
finished his inspection of the troops, will return to
Toulouse in the worse of the week.
The French Government, though not burdened with
a national debt like that of England, sees the necessity
of economy, and is considerably reducing its expenc;i.
tare. The redaction in the office of the Finance 111i-
nister amounts to 130 persons, some of whom are ap-
pointed to other offices in different parts of the king-
dom, and others are put on half-pay.—The following

the congratw.
the affair of the 18th against fahuenca ; he then wens
Puycerda with an escort of twenty men, visited
the positions, went as far as Martinet, and returned
precipitately to Urgel, in consequence of a dispatch
from the Regency, and was there on the Ist instant.
Belie?, at three leagues from Puycerda, and six
leagues from the sea, is only occupied by the inha-
bitants, as well as that part of Spanish Cerdagna.
The Royalists who were at Figueras are gone to
join Misas, at Olot. Before their departure they
levied a contribution of six or 700 quadruples on that
part of the Lampourdan. All the divisions of the
Army of the Faith march on Salsona, to cover Urgel,
and wait for Mina in a firm attitude. They occupy posi-
tions which nature has made formidable, and which
art and engineering will render impregnable. Great

events are expected.
The following are the operations of Mina, from the
3d of September, the day of his arrival :
" The 10th, he published the well-known PrOcla-
clamation ; the 11th and 12th, he was occupied in
organizing at Lerida the first division of his army,
And gave the command of it provisionally to General
Torrijos ; the 15th, he marched with this General and
his division; and at the night-fall arrived at Bellpuig.
The next day, -at two in the morning, in the design
of surprising the besiegers of the fort of the Univer-
sity, he went towards Cervera with all the Chasseur
companies of the army, the Miquelets of Carlos, Car-
denas, and Camarasa, and 75 horse of the Prince,
leaving a: Bellpuig General Torrijos, that he might
follow the movement, with the rest of the troops, at
three o'clock on the morning of the 14th, which was
executed.

" An advanced post of the Royalists, at a league
and a quarter from Cervera, was informed of the
march of this column. This post, after having fired
a round, fled in the darkness to warn the besiegers.—
Mina then began to prepare for an attack, advancing
guerillas of infantry and cavalry to discover the posi-
tion of the Royalists. At half-past five, he was before
Cervera, but on entering the town, he saw that not
only the troops of the Faith .had abandoned it to go
to the Fort of St. Ramon, but also that the inha-
bitants had deserted their dwellings in the fear of
a new pillage.
" Mina encamped his troops, issued•an order for
the return of the inhabitants to their houses, prescrib-
ing the most severe discipline to the troops, particu-
!ally the respect of property. He then ordered Ge-
neral Torrijos to leave at Tarrega the regiment of
Ferdinand VII. and all the cavalry, and to bring the
rest of the infantry to join lam.
"The inhabitants returned to their homes after
they were informed of the precautions taken, and
General Torrijos entered Cervera• about eleven the
same day, the 14th. In the evening Mina was in-
formed that Fort St. Ranson, distant two leagues from
the town, was abandoned.
" After having renewed and increased the garrison
of the fort, and having provisioned it by means of
communication with the troops of Tarrega, he left
the town on the 21st with General Torrijos. On the
24th he was at Calaf. There Mina has published a
new Proclamation, in which he exhorts the inhabit-
ants of Catalonia to return to their homes, and an-
nounces that he will suspend his operations till the
25th: On the 20th they will begin again. It is not
yet known whether a great number have profited by
this amnesty.
"Colonel Costa, scarcely restored to liberty, has
organised at Barcelona five or six battalions of com-
muneros, and it was stated in that city on the 28th.
ult. that they were going to march to join Milans,
who manoeuvres on the right of Mina.
" Mosen Anton on the 24th attacked, with 1,500
men, the fort of La Piedad, and the Capuchin Con-
vent of Areuys del Mar. Rifle firing was kept up for
three hours. The artillery firing was directed by
Brigadier Manso, who was bY-chance on his passage
through the town. Mosen Anton, informed by trusty
persons of the advance of a party of militia, with-.
drew into the mountains."
"Every day. Asays the Veridigue of Montpelier) we
see a great quantity of caissons, waggons, and am-
munition pass to the frontier, it is said from the arse-
nal of Toulouse. Within a few days detachments of
horse gene-d'armeries haie arrived, which are to be
organised for Police and correspondence of the Corps
of Observation."
CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPTEMBER 10.

Lord Strangford has been charged by the Porte
with an important declaratioa for the Congress, it is
a sort of protest against every attempt of the Euro-
pean Powers to intermeddle with the internal affairs
of the Ottoman Empire. The Porte declares that it
is capable of arranging them itself without foreign
assistance.

The latest arrivals from Rio Janeiro bring 2n im-
portant State Paper. It is a " Manifesto of the
PRINCE REGENT of BRAZIL to friendly Governments
and Nations." This document, which is dated the
6th of August, is drawn up with great ability, and
gives a dear exposition of the state of the Brazils,
and of the dissolution of the relations of that country
with Portugal. " The People of the Brazils*" says
the PRINCE, " have proclaimed in the face of the
Universe their political independence, and desire, as
forming a sister kingdom' and a great and powerful
nation, to maintain unimpaired and in vigour their
imprescriptible rights, which Portugal has always
sought to infringe, and Which she now more than
ever endeavours to assail."

The tyranny of the Portuguese Government over
the Brazils is powerfully depicted.
" While the Portuguese Government (says this
State Paper), with insatiable voracity, devoured te
treasures which beneficent nature so liberally sur.
plied, it oppressed the Unfortunate provinces whence
the wealth was drawn by the most odious of all im-
posts—the Capitation Tax. It was Wished to make
the Brazilians pay for the air they breathed, and for
liberty to tread the soil of their native land. If the

industry of some active man was directed to the giving
a new form to certain native productions, that Brazil
might clothe the nakedness of her own children, tp-
ranuical laws soon prohibited and punished these
praiseworthy efforts. The object of the Europeans
has constantly been to retain this fine country in the
most rigid and abject dependence on the mother-
conntry, because they judged it necessary to the se-
curity of their dominion, that the perennial sources
of our riches should be obstructed or impoverished:'
After enumerating a host of grievances, the docu-
ment proceeds Finally, when the Brazilian, on
whom bountiful nature bad bestowed talents, wished,
for the better knowledge of his rights and duties, to
obtain instruction in science or in arts, or to improve
the excellent qualities with which PROVIDENCE has
endowed his native land, he was obliged to go to
Portugal, to beg what little scraps of information
were to be found there, and from that country Lc
was often not permitted to return."
The attempts of Portugal to keep the Brazils in
subjection are noticed at great length, and the Pat NCE
ItaGENT concludes his Manifesto with declaring his
deteimination to preserve the independence of the
Brazils at the expense of his blood ; and by expres-
sing a hope " that sensible and impartial men, all
over the world, and that the Governments and na-
tions friendly to Brazil, will render justice to such
honest and noble sentiments. The ports of Brazil
(says he) shall continue open to all pacific and friendly
nations, for lawful trade nor prohibited by the laws.
European colonists who emigrate hither, may rely on
being protected in this rich and hospitable country.
Philosophers, artists, capitalists, and speculators, will
also experience a friendly reception. And as Brazil
will respect the rights of other legitimate Govern-
ments, she hopes, as a just return, that her unalienable
rights a ill be by them respected and acknowledged,
and that she may not, in the opposite case, be placed
' under the painful necessity of acting contrary to the
' dictates of her generous heart."

During last week upwards of 30,000 quarters of
wheat were imported from Ireland alone into Liver-
pool, and the whole was sold partly to consumers
and partly to speculators, at 325. a quarter, calcu-
lating the weight to be 601bs. a bushel. If the Irish
Agricultmits were allowed to reap the advantage of
their immense export transactions, neither famine,
distress, nor crime would be long felt amongst them.
In that country, however, at present, the drones of
the hive live on the labour of the bees.
Cardinal GABRIELLI has yielded at last to his long
and painful illness. He was born in 1748, and ob-
tained the purple in 1801. It is probable that hi;
death will induce the POPE to make a new promotion
of Cardinals. The number at present is forty-five, of
which thirteen are Romans, eight Lombard- Auttriaus,
one Bavarian. two Tuscans, seven Neapolitans, five
Piedrnontese, two French, two Spanish, and one
Portuguese.
FUNERAL OF THE DUCHESS 01 NEWCASTLE.--On
Tuesday 44 the remains of her Grace were consigned
to the grave at Bothum%al Church, four miles from
the family mansion of Clumber Park : at the same
time was interred, sLady ANNA MARIA P&LHAU
CLINTON, their Graces' eldest daughter, who died in
the spring of this year, and whose body was removed
from Mary-la-bonne Church, to be deposited in the
same vault with her departed parent. The funeral
procession was very splendid, but the most interesting
part of it was the band of charity children, clothed
and educated by her Grace, all in deep mourning.—
The hearse was followed by many carriages of noble
families, anxious to chew their esteem for the deceased.
The number of persons who were collected together
seemed by their deportment deeply to feel the loss
they had sustained, by the surly death of their noble
benefactress, whose charities cheered the surround-
ing peasantry, and whose domestic virtues .wen a
blunt% to her family.
