THE SI ATESNAN.

Madrid Papers to the 28th ult. arrived also WV
night. The insurrostion among the troops of the
Etuperor of Morocco which they mention, is we sup-
pose the saute of which an account was received ftom
another source soma time since. The following are
extracts :

MADRID, Aoo. 419.—We have received accounts front
the Barbary coast of the lath July, which state that a
most dreadful insurrection had brofie out in the army of
the Emperor of Morocco, and that one of the regiments
of the guards having received orders to escort that So-'
vereign from Kubat to Morocco. refesid to obey, and
marching to Fes, committed there the greatest excesses,
plundering and murdering all the inhabitants, especially
the Jews. They afterwards marched against Tetuan,
but the inhabitants being informed of their approach,
prepared to defend themselves, and compelled them to
retreat. The Emperor arrived at Morocco with the few
troops who remained faithful to him, but lie had not
taken any measure whatever to reduce the rebels to obe-
dience. These accounts had thrown the whole country
into consternation, and entirely prohibited commerce of
every kind.
The Patriotic Society of Oviedo have received from
i one of its members at Lisbon a communication contain-
' ing the names of the members of the Apostolic Junta
established at Viana de Mino, under the direction of
Creneral Wilson, ordered to be taken by the Portuguese
Uovernment in eerisequence of the dispositions of the
Spanish tiovernmenS, They are Don Manuel Chantre,
Canon of Santiagp,Direetor of the Hospital ; a Demi-
nician Vicar; a Franciscan ditto ; Don Santiago Heanii n
Blanco, Canon Rector of the University of Santiago ;
the Vicar of St. Cristina tie Barlage ; Don Manuel
Maria Aballe de Tuy ; Don Boque Maria Mooquera ;
the Vicar of San Vincent. de Banes, the physician Don
J. Ramon flarcia (Baron of St. Tounna), Don Tomas
Blanco llceron Capt. of Militia at Tay. This appears
to he the list which circulates at Lisbon. A proposition
has been presented to the Cortes. by Senor Moreno
, Hums, to change the inscription on the ancient coin of
the kingdom, and to place on it the name of the Consti-
tutional King, vts. Fernandrs VII. Dei Gratis et Cas-
saba ione Monarehte, and on the
Rex. The Committee for the affairs relative to the woe
department, announced to the Cortes, that in the Me-
morial presented by the Minister of War, there was no I
mention whatever of the three regiments of the Swiss,
which formed a part of the armed forces of the king.
alum ; and that, supposing this may be in consequence
of some operations carrying on in that department for the
organization of the army. the Committee is of opinion,
the Cortes should be requested to communicate them to
the Committee, that it may complete its information on
the subject. Approved—Le Miscellanea, A erg. 09.

We understand that the Jew Harper, who was on
hoard the Polar re with thr Qlleell, has arrived in this
country, and made his appearance on 'Change, on

Saturday last.
By letters from Oporto, we learn this morning, that
the pay of the military, in garrison there, had been
seven months in arrears.
Circumstances have occurred, which throw con-
siderable doubt over the truth of the statement which
has been circulated respecting the death of the Hos.
Captain Spencer. of the Owen Glendower. The im-
probability of the circumstances, as related, and tber
utter inconsistency with the known character of Capt.
I Spencer, &forded, originally, sufficient cause of doubt;
but it now appears, in addition to those reasons for
disbelieving the story. that there is the evidence of
dates, which, if they be truly stated, prove the wisaks
to be unfounded. It is perhaps teetotal to speak pd.
sitirely on the subject ; but we confess, from what is
known. it is extremely probable the fact has not oc-
curred at all, and at all events, that it cannot have oc-
curred tinder the circumstances as first represented.
The following is an extract of a private letter from
Liverpool, on Saturday, and which tends to confirm
the above suppositions:—

" The Meridian, from Rio de Janeiro, arrived here
this day ; she sailed 31st June. His Majesty's ships
Superb, Vengeur. and Icarus were at Rio.
The Hon. H. Finch, of the Superb, writes, on the
21st June, that the Captain of a French frigate, who
arrived at Rio in 13 days from Monte Video, says, that
there is not the least truth in the account of the death of
Captain Spencer, of his Majesty's ship, Owen (Mea-
-1 dower, as reported to have fallealn a duel with his First
Lieutenant."
An Address to her Majesty from the Masters,

priate aquatic proccs.don.
The following important communication has been
given, as from good authority :--It has been agreed
upon by the three Sovereigns of Austria, Russia, and
Ilrussia, that an Austrian army shall march forthwith
to Naples, for the purpose of putting down the Revo-
lution, and restoring the King to his former authority.
This is conformable to a treaty signed in 1815, between
the Courts of Vienna and Naples, in which the former
guarantees the Throne and States of the latter against
foreign and domestic foes ; in consequence of whisk
an Austrian army will also be employed is the Mom.
tion of Sicily. Austria, after having aeromplishesi
these measures, will leave garrisons in Naples mid
Sicily. It is reported, that a powerful Russian squadron
is to cruise in the Mediterranean ; perhaps to act
against the Spaniards, as well as against the Neapolitan
and Sicilian patriots. The Emperor of Russia, it le
said, became reconciled to the Spanish Revolution, bee
that of Naples has 'galls excited the wrath of his
Russian Majesty against Spain.
