THE CORTES.
Ip the sitting of the 26th of June, the copy of a
Mexican Extraordinary Gazettte, transmitted to the
Minister of State by the Spanish Ambassadors at
London, and which was presented to him by a pas.
senger in an English frigate fromVera-Cruz, was read
by the President. It reported that the Viceroy of New
Spain had received a dispatch from the Colonel Ochoa,
dated at the Camp of Noria, in the province of Coa-
huila, 29th of March, in which he requested earnestly
that a reinforcement of 500 men might be sent to him
in order to enable him to conduct to head-quarters
201. insurgents, prisoners, among whom were the
leaders Aldama, Hidalgo, Abasolo, and Allende, and
several other officers, together with a quantity of mo-
ney, jewels, and gold and silver plate, which they had
collected.
On the motion of Senor Penzzo, it was entered on
the journal of the Cortes.
In the same sitting various documents were read
respecting the occupation of the Lonja, or exchange
of Palma (the chief town of Majorca) for the estab-
lishment.of a foundry for brass cannon, of cast-iron
articles of war, an arsenal for shipping, &c. From
the whole of these it clearly appears, that the edifice
in question is remarkably well calculated for the pro-
pored uses.
This opinion was strongly enforced hr the Senor
LLANO, who quoted the authority of Don Joaquin de
Porcas, an excellent judge, as well as a liberal patron
of the useful arts—that they might use all the means
in their power before they could procure a building so
well adapted in every respect for these important ob-
jects. These sentiments being approved of, it was or-
dered that the Regency should take the necessary
steps, notwithstanding the licence formerly granted
by his Majesty.

The greatest activity takes place in tly, kingdom
of Gallicia. The army from little rnt;re than twenty,
had increased its number% in a very short space of
time to nearly 30,000 effective men. It is asserted,'
that Santocildes had advanced as far as Avo-ga.—
If the plans, which are said to be in agitation, are
spiritedly acted upon, the North of main will con-'
tribute greatly to the salvation of the Peninsula. If
we were furnished with the necessary assistance, we
could in a short time bring upwards of 50,000 Gal-

population are ready, in case of need, to defend their
country.

The Guerrilla force has of late very considerately
augmented. Camrillo, and the Pastor, have
each 700 men under th..ir command. The first men-
tioneg, with his party, is about the neighbourhood
of
Alava ; the second in Biscay, and the last rfentionedl
in the mountains of Santander. An action took placel
at Marquina with the party of the Pastor, who York
the town, and gave it up to his patty to plunder. The
inhabitants, who had fled after the action, retired to
the convent cf El Carmen, and shutting themselves
up in it, defended themselves with so much obsti-1
nacy, that the Pastor and his party were forced
to retir?, after losing '2O men killed and 40 wounded.

The following interesting perticulars, respecting
the late fire at Newburyporte are copied from The
Salem Gazeite:—
" The 'fire commenced at about half-past two
o'clock on Friday evening, in a stable near the mar-
ket, which was wrapt in flames when the discovery
was made. It communicated with astonishing rapi-
dity to a range of wooden buildings in the rear of
Stetson's Tavern, more than 100 feet in leegth, and
the whole square was is a few minutte in a blaze.—
Blunt's-buildings and the Phoenix Office, two large
brick buildings, seemed .to present a barrier to the
destroftive element, and great hopes were entertain.

terrilny sublime.
“ 'lie wind, soon after its change, blew strong ;
these buildings, which were among be highest in the
Starr, threw the tire in awful columns many yards
into the air, and the flames extended in one continued
sheet of fire across the spacious area. The buildings
on the north side of Steee-street caught like tinder,
and all efforts to cowered or assuage the tempest of
fire, seemed unaveiling and fruitless. The ruin ex-

that His MAJESTY Still continued in the same state.—
By the use of opiates his MAJESTY obtains sleep, bin
apparently without refreshment. Still, however, is
the fond hope of an ultimate favourable change en-
tertained by his medical attendants.—The following

HArmiRKETTHEITRE.

----
Last night the performance of the Comedy of
The Birth Day afforded Mr. MINDEN an opportu-
nity of displaying his pre-eminent. powers in the
character of Calet. Bertram, which he performed to
the infinite delight of a very crowded house. His
gouty twinges were only rivalled in extorting ap-
please by the quick transitions of 'session with which
he filled up the part of the blunt, cajoled, yet good-
hearted seaman.—Mrs. BARNES played Errata with
1 I the
success, and did net fail in extorting a tear fmm
e audience- Mr. MALLINSON also did justice to the
part of Honest Jack Junk. The comic interlude of
4 Day after the Wedding followed ; in which Mr.
JONES was much applauded for his excellent and spi-
rited acting of the reforming Bridegroom.
The public, who went in crowds to witness the
equestrian achievements of Mrs. H. JoueseoN and
Master CHAPMAN, seem now to be smitten with as
eager a desire and relish to see them made the sport
4'l
of satire and burlesque. The effect of (he M inager
of the Lyceum was last night succeeded by that of
the Manager of the Haymarket, who cc.ncleded
the amusements of the evening with a new piece, en-
titled, The Quqdrupeds of Qtecdfinburg ; or Tie Revere
of Iftsimar. Pursuing the rage of the present clay,
this is brought forward as a good-humoured satire
on the hippo-dramatical taste of modern nudien.
ces, and at the same time being selected from the ce-
lebrated German Drama in the Anti. Jacobin, revives
the satire on the importation of German sentiment
i and morality for the British stage. The latter is,
perhaps, now unnecessary, as that fay has given
' place to the mania for Horsemanship. This piece is
introduced in the same manner with the critic, by a
convers ition between an Author and a Manager, for
1 whose edification he exhibits a rehearsal of his work.
The vehicular conversation on this subject, the ligh ra-
thee hing, contains many good witticisms and hits on
the prevalent follies. One bon mot, from its applica-
bility, told evremely well. It arose on the apology
of the Author for 'staying beyond his appointment,
and the Manager excuses him, as he says, because
" they allow a little Law at that f/cure," on which
the Author remarks, " a great deal tea much."—
To this conversation, succeeds a Prologue, well spoken
by Mr. ELLISTON, which we sulinin as no bad parody
on the well-known Prologue to Cate:
To lull the soul by spurious strokes of art,
To warp the genius, and mislead the heart
To make mankind revere Wives gone astray,
Love pious soot, who rub on the highway;
For 'hi- the Fore/pt Moises trod oar stage,
Commanding Gems. Schools to be t*e rage :

After this the rehearsal commences and adheres
closely throughout to the publication from which it
;is taken. It tlooefore docs not isfquire any comment
(as t') its structure or history of its plot. The wit is
perhaps more pungent in print than in action, and the
performance was rather tedious, though the vein of
humour which runs through the whole gave occae
sional subject for the talent of the laughters. Many
parts were good burlesques on favourite scenes of ino.
Idern approved pi (+ine:ions ; such as the prison scene
lin P:zzirro, .tend toe oist scene of Trento. the Tartar,
whicls is closely inihated in the last of this new flip
1 pa-ono-dramatic° Romance. Tile new preformers
introduced, frisked about with much agility, ptroeti•
,laxly the stuffed poneys. As for the donkeys, they
certainly did not tread the stage with the firmness of
veteians, but their steady composure and self.com-
mend, gave fair promise of future excellence, when
(they become better acquainted with the business of
she stage. The biped performers were equally sue-
cessful, and the monkey on the standard was all that
the inost sanguine fancy could expect. Upon the
whole, with an efficient pruning, we have no doubt,
although the subject is hasknied, but the fame of these
quadrupeds will prove stable at the Hay Market, aild
the Rovers of Weimar there find awed abode !—This
entertainment is said to be furnished to the Theatre
by Mr. COL MAN. For the truth of this we cannot pre-
tend to vouch ; hut we must confess, that from the
description given of the family of Mr. Bathos in the
first scene, without any previous information on the
subject. we should have thought it exceedingly pro-
bailie that the piece was from the pen of the author
of " Sylvester I)aggerwood."

ment between Lnrd WELLINGTON and General Ces..,
TANGS, sanctioned by the Spanish Regency, a propo-
sition for forming a Spanish Legion, to be disciplined
and commanded by British Officers, in the same man-
ner that the Portuguese troops*are now, and have
been, since the struggle for the independence of that
country has taken such a favourable tern. We under-
stanA that the Irish regiments in the Spanish service,

establishment, and have been at all times commanded
ley Officers of British and Irish extraction, from whom
are descended the BLAKES, O'Dowwru.S, &c• svho
take so noble a part in the present glorious struggle),
are to form the basis of this new legion. The plan
of the legion, as approved by General Cacrnsos, and
recommended by him and the Spanish Governmen•,
to Seignor APODACA, the Spanish Minister in this
country, has been else,as we have stated, approved
by Lord WELLINGTON, who, we understand, has made
observations with his own hand on the different
clauses, and then recommendA the scheme in the
most particular manner to his brother, the Marquis,
and to the British Government in general- The
more immediate object of the proposition, and of the

to procure supplies ut clothing and arms— men being

on the outside of the walls, expecting tile arrival of

that they would arrive before July 16th, when an at-
tempt was meditated to dislodge BONNET, if he did
not retire from Leon before that time.—His destina-
tion was either Salamanca or Ciudad Rodrigo, in
which direction, from the that character of the coun-

advantage.
