JPANISH PAPERS.

Cadiz two days after the last packet, but she brings nn
further accounts of the progress of General BL I
expegitipn. The Cortes base decreed the sale of the
Royal Riomains, with the exception, for the present, of
the palaces and seats making part thereof, in the pro.
vinces which are not occupied by the enemy : but in
i the present state of Spain, we fear few purchasers will
be found for property so.eircumstanced. Sours has re-
i published his ferocious Proclamation, in which he
threatens to treat such Spaniards in arms as may
fall into his hands, as a banditti.—The Cortes have
decided on the formation of five Commissions, name.
ly, a Commission of Finance, of Public Instruc-
tion,
of Civil, Criminal, and Mercantile Legislation;
each to consist of a President, four Members, and a
Secretary. They are to report, either to the present
or a future Cortes, any alterations that may be neces-
sary in these different branches of Government.

In the Sitting of the 201.11/ April) communications
frrim,the General in Chief of the Army were read.—
It appears the enemy labour incessantly at their works
at Fort Luis, Cabezuela, Ste. They have removed
some fild-pieces from St. Ana to Chiclana, and our
advanced posts tften exchange shots with their front.
The Drew was read, by which D. Joaquin Blake
was authorised to assume the command of the Expe-
dition, and exempted from those regnlating articles
of the C,aurcil of Regency which prohibited it.
Intelligence of the 18th, from the Army forming
the Expedition under General Blake, states, that on
that fay, the armament anchored off the Tone de la
Umbria ; where the troops, with their gallant Com-
mander, effected a landing, and unfurled the national
flag. under a aistharge of artillery.
In the sitting of the 19th the memorial of General
Mahi; and other General Officers, setting forth the
injurious effects of the Decree of the ',Nth of No-
vember, 1809; Which imposed the punishment of
death on deserters, was refened to the Regency, with
directions that the Council of War should be con-
ferred with on the point. •
The Committee of Justice presented the minute of
a law respecting the abolition of the torture. This,
after a long discussion, w.ts referred hark to the Com-
mission, with directions to expunge the preamble and
revise the whole.
Intelligence has been received in Cadiz from Gau-
sett of the 10th, importing that the enemy had aban-
doned Marbeila, accompanied by several of the inha-
tants, and proceeded in the direction of Seville, where
it was confidently said, Soult, Victor, and Monier,
hformed a junction !
The Cortes have decreed the sale of the royal do-
mains, with the exception for the present of the palaces
and seats making part thereof, in the provinces, which
are not occupied by the enemy. Soult has republished
his ferocious proclamation, in which he threatens to
treat such Spaniards in arras as may fall into his hands
as a banditti.

NAVAL VICTORY.
A Telegraphic Message was received yesterday
evening, about six o'clock, at the Admiralty Office,
from Portsniouth, announcing the arrival there of a
ship with intelligence of two frigates having been
taken and three destroyed in the Mediterranean.—
They were running for Gibraltar.
At the time this Paper went to press, no further
accounts had been received at the Admiralty of the
above intelligence.

The letters rece'ved from the Baltic, announcing
the arrival of Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ in that sea, state,
that apprehensions of an invasion were felt both by
Sweden and Denmark, and in the former very active
preparations were made to repel an attack. Count
VON Esser, whose appointment we before mentioned,
was engaged on this service in the vicinity of Gotten-
burgh, and precautions were taken both with respect
to the ships of war and th• mercantile vessels and
their cargoes in the port of Carlscron,a. BERNADOTTE,
sve are told, was to quit Stockholm on the 6th of this
month, to ascertain the competency of the fortifica-
tions the coast for the defence of the country.
Letters from Sweden speak of the assembling of
an immense Russian force, no less than 120,000. men,
in Poland. The Continental papers have never con-
tained the slightest allusion to so important a fact;
but the private communications are not to be entirely
disbelieved on that account.

In the absence of any further intelligence from the
Peninsula, we present our Readers with the following
communication from Plymouth, which seems to con-
tradict the reports which have been some time in cir-
culation of the French troops being withdrawn from
Spain. Our Readers will, however, no doubt observe
that the following statements are rather at variance
with the appearances of war held out in the North:
" PLYMOUTH, NIAv

-44 An American Gentleman, (a passenger on board
the Rose in Bloom, detained and sent into Plymouth
by the SHANNON and AMAZON frigates) who has resided
upwards of three months at Bayonne, and which place
he only left the 28th ult. informs us, that during the
last three weeks of his residence there, very large re-
inforcements passed through for the French armies in
Spain ; together with immense supplies of clothing,
provisions, specie, and stores of every description.—
lrle says the rattling of the waggons through the
place and along the roads was incessant, night and
day. He Gather states, that no French troops had
returned that way, escept invalids ; and of these there
had been several thousands, during the last two
months. He supposes, also, that during the three
mouths he resided at Bayonne, on a moderate com-
putation, at least 40,000 Spaniards had been marched
through, to be sent to the interior of France. The story
of a On of the French troops being ordered to return
from Spain, seems to have been altogether erroneous.
This Gentleman had frequent opportunities of con-
versing with french Officers, and other intelligent
persons of that nation and they all Concurred in one
general sentiment, namely, that the Emperor NAPO.
;.10N would rather sacrifice his Crown than abandon
• his designs nn the Peninsula.. On the contrary, a
very general opinion prevailed, that he would, in per-
son, head his achy in Spin this summer."

Saturday, the Members of the Queen's Council
having been summoned to meet, about half past eleven
o'clock the Archbishops of CANTERBURY and YORK,
the LORD CHANCEttoIt, the Duke of Mowraose, Earls
WINCIIILSEA and Asmrsioan, and the MasTert of the
Rotts, arrived at the Queen's Lodge, at Windsor,
where they bad a consultation with the KINGS Phy-
sicians for a considerable time. They afterwards
walked to the Castle, where they were introduced into
the presence of her MAJESTY, in the Council Room,
and proceeded to take into consideration the Report
of the Physicians upon his MAJESTY'S state. They
then returned to the Queen's Lodge, where they
dined, and afterwards set off on their return to town.
His MAJESTY walked on the Terrace from twelve
till oue,
and Mr. DuNias, and at two o'clock, atten-
ded by General GwyNtle.
Yesterday, the Fame Rearm' and the Duke of
UMBERLAND, in the Plumes carriage, arrived at
Windsor, about twelve o'clock : the Duke of Yostri
came soon her.
His MAJESTY walked on the Terrace from twelve
till one, accompanied by Dr. Wmus and Mr. DUN-
DAS, and afterwards by the Dukes of YORK and CUM-
ZEALAND, and from half past two till five, accompa-
nied by General Gsvxma.
The following Bulletin was :hewn yesterday at St.
James's Palace :-

as last week. (Signed)

Her MAJESTYwiII, it is reported, hold a Drawing-
room at Windsor, on the KING'S birth-day, to receive
the congratulations of the Nobility on his MAJESTY'S
advance to recovery. •
His Royal Highness the PRINCE REGENT honoured
Covent-garden Theatre with his presence on Friday
everting, for the first time since it was rebuilt. The
public were not aware of his presence, as he sat in
the back of his box.
THE PARKS.—The fashionable world crowded yes.
terday into the Parks. The carriages were very nume-
rous, and extended from Hyde-Park-Corner to Ken-
sington gardens. The ride was full. Amongst the
string of carriages were the Duchesses of Gordon,
Montrose, St. Alban's and Rutland; the Lady Ma-
yoress ; the Lady of Colonel Beaumont in a new
landau, with four horses and two out-riders. Parasols
were the order of the day, and the scorching rays of
the sun caused many ladies to leave their equipages,
and take shelter in the shady walks of Kensington.
gardens ; others walked along the banks of the Ser-
pentine. The banks were not cleared until a late
hour.
It is understood that one motive for the immediate
departure of Mr. Forrest to America, is the intel-
ligence which has been received of a prodigious acti.
vity in the American ports to fit out privateers in the
French name and under French colours, but actually
supported by the property and navigated for the in-
tei est of the Republican owners. As the law now
stands between the United States and this country,
we are very apprehensive that any negotiation on
this subject will be ineffectual, and the mischief may
be to an incalculable extent.
The failure of the house of PIIRLOT and Co. at
Paris, has deeply affected several of the Generals and
creatures of BONAPARTE. This concern was incon-
testibly the richest in specie of any is Paris, and it was
even supposed in the world. Some estimate of its
wealth and presumed stability may be made from this
circumstance, that the notorious BOURIENNe deposited
nearly half a million sterling in it, the fruits of his
corruption and exactions while he was in office in
Hamburgh. The house of Primer was, in fact, the
depot for the produce of all the robberies that the mi-
litary ruffians, miscalled Marshals and Generals, in
DONAPARTE'S employment, have committed upon the
wretched inhabitants of the Continent. The affairs
of this house are expected to turn out very ill. They
had speculated largely upon the success of the inva.
sion of the Peninsula.
A reprieve arrived at Plymouth on Friday, for
JOHN BURROWES, a seaman belonging to la RHIN,
who was lately sentenced to suffer death by Court-
Martial, for attempting to desert to the enemy.
A few days ago an unfortunate chimney-sweeper's
boy, about twelve years of age, was employed to
sweep a chimney in Wakefield, which, as it after-
wards appeared, communicated by a flue with the
fire of a neighbouring house. While the poor boy
was in the chimney, the soot from the fire broke out
into a flame, which, spreading upwards, scorched the
poor fellow so dreadfully, that he fell down to the
bottom, his flesh being completely burn; from his
toes to his chin; but though in that deplorable state,
be survived in excruciating pain for five days, when
he expired. On Friday the 46th ult. at one o'clock,
the Coroner assembled a Jury, which continued in
deliberation till ten o'clock that night ; when they
adjourned till three o'clock on Monday, at which
time they re•assembled, and remained t till
one o'clock on Tuesday morning; but, (Ettlar some
difficulty in the case, the difference of opinion which
existed at the former sittings was not reconciled, and
they again adjourned till three o'clock en Friday ; it
being determined, in the mean time, to submit alt
the
circumstances of the case to the consideration of the
sitting Magistrates.

He gave the same evidence as the last witness.
Serjeant Thomas Small, a pensioner, corroborate!
the testimony of the other witnesses in part ; but was
positive the prisoner never mentioned the Court, but
that he had opened his mouth too wide that day.
The prisoner being called, on for his defence, stated
he knew his duty too well to say any thing of, or inter-
fere in any manner with what passed in that Honoura-
,Me Court. He had been 28 years in the army, and
was sensible if he had so interfered, he would de-
I serve the most severe punishment ; but it was im.
possible that he could have done so, as he was ig.
inorant of every thing that had beendone in Court.
He certainly did reprimand Gillard, and said he
had opened his mouth too wide, and if he did not
take care of himself he would come to the halbert
again. He did this on account of his conduct on his
leaving the Court, for he called Serjeant-Major Whit-
tle every infamous name be could think of. This
he was ready to prove by two WHDISSES.
John Smith, a private. deposed, that when Gillard
came out of Court, he heard him chit Serjeant-Ma-

The Prisoner was discharged.
Mr. Mason was again called in, and his examina•
tion closed; the whole of the evidence went to sign
the situation of the colony in January, 1808.
The JLIDOIVADVOCATIS informed the hurt there
were only four more witnesses to be examined on the
part of the prosecution. Their evidence would be very
short ; and as Lieutenant-Colonel Johnstone wished
to have until Monday se'nnight to prepare his defence,
he would propose the Court's adjourning to that time.
A 4etachment of the 11th Infantry, consisting of

By nur port letter, we have heard that the large
fleet, which has so long been detained at Portsmouth,
has at length sailed, yesterday morning. Among
many other Officers, there go by this fleet—
lietitensat-General HILL and suite.
The Hon. Major-General CAIRSDLL and suite.
Major-General HODGSON and suite.
Colonels BucuAn, WATSON, and fvflonLesloat.
Majors 7vPPnas sou, DIVAN, BUTLID, MONTOOMINT, SM.
The detachments of regiments which have em-
barked for Portugal, are formed into a Battalion, un-
der the command of Col. BUCHAN, of be 4th Foot.
Sir An an CLastica's fine old regiment the 7th, or
Royal Fusileers, have got nearly 500 men by the vo.
lunteering from the militia, being a greater number
than any other corps in the service has got; by which
fine and efficient draught they raise the establishment
of both battalions now serving in Portugal to 1200
each.
Among other letters from our army in Spain we
have one before us from an Officer before Almeida,
dated April 16th, who says that “ The army arrived

tillery of our regiment, the 71st Light Infantry High-
landers, and two Portuguese regiments, have got the
tiresome work of investing Almeida. It is said to
contain a garrison of 1500 men, and as we have no
battering artillery, nor any idea of the store of provi-
sions in the fort, we can form no conjecture as to the
time it will hold out. Ciudad Rodrigo will likewise
be immediately invested, the French having retired
almost without looking behind them, as far as La.
