Imes us that he met Riego at Carolina, escorted by
hundred peasants, and conducted by a detachment of 40
seen. The prisoner was to sleep this night at Santa Crnz

Pt/EMMA, SEPT. 17.—We have no positive interligenee
as to the direction taken by the Constitutional troops that
landed a few days back at Mataro, and who were on the
13th st Roda and Lesqnirol, from whence they gained the
mountains. To day it is said thst they have concentrated
their forces to the number of 1,660 between Campredon
sad Mot. whither they are pursued by the Royalists and a
body of French troops. Mina is not at their head ; we are
assured that he has not as yet quitted Barcelona. It is
pretty certain also. that it is not Rotten who commands
them. From Vich to genes all the population is in arms
determined to defend themselves. This morning at four
o'clock a part of the garrison, with forty cavalry, set out to
reconnoitre. The dovaniera of the valley of Carol of

the outer for holding ant.
BATONNR. September 18.—We are assured, that the
fortress of Torrez•Molinos has capitulated. It is Use
said that Low Banos has born attacked in BOA-
medura. "
Ax, September T 8 —A letter from the Sen states,' that
the siege is on the point of commencing. A mortar and
several pieces of heavy artillery have arrived. Four bat-
teries are erecting, and the fort is nearly tertnitmted,
aorwithstanding the tire from the fortress.—(Echo is

MaTatto, September 13.—The news of the capitulation
of Pampeluna canard lucre universal joy. It was affirmed
this evening that Rotten, the military Onrernor of Barer.
lons, was arrested by the troops of the garrison, and that '
twit Constitutional Getterals hive arrived this morning at
the heed quarters of the Marshal, to treat for a capitulation
ef the p:ace. This news requires confirmation.

PARIS, &CPT. 27.—The English Journals, for someday*
ltwe been much occupied with the appearance of several
French vessels of war in the seas of Spanish America-
There has arrived very apropos from Martinique, a cor-
respondence in the Moniteur to explain these circumstances.
It is said there that Lieutenant General Count Dons..lot,
Governor of Martinique, tent the frigate, the Jeanne
d'Are, commanded by M. Dupotet, Capitaine tie raisseau,
fiert to Porto Rico, then to the Havannah, to commnnicate
the actnal state of the relations of France with Spain to
the authorities of these two Spanish Colonies, and to pro-
pose to them to maintain slow themselves and the French
Colonies the same relations as in times past, giving reci-
procally to the merchant ships of the two nations every gua-
rantee against corsairs.
We read also in the same correspondence which has ap-
peared In the non-official part of the Module!.' that the
frigates La Thetis and La Constance, commanded by Copts.
Beltaintrille Ind St. Simon, were charged with a similar
mission to General Morales, and to the Spanish Admiral
commanding the naval division in eta ion near Guayra.
From the manner in which these two expeditions are
?restated, they have, as we tee, no hostile character ; and
it is fortunate that chance brought them so apropos to
calm the uneasiness which the English papers affected to
manifest as to their true object.
Notwithstanding in the capitulation of Pampelans, the!
Marshal de Lanriston promised the Inlet vendee of his pod
office, to prevent N.-actions, tt appears that many ef the
inhabitants of that tows experienced a diminution of con-
&Untie when they learned that the French alone woeld not
occupy that place, and that an army of the Faith would
alms enter those walls. The Memorial Bordelaie now in_
forms as that the Constitutional Authorities, and many
men, women, and children, have followed the garrison
preferring captivity in France to the Government with
Which they are threatened in their own country.
(!Rout CONSTITSTIONWIL )
the English Courier having declared that there was a
misunderstanding between the Doke d*Angoalerne and the
Regency of Madrid, and that this circumstance was extreme-
ly favourable tothe Spanish Constitutionalists, the Dmpeau
Blanc, endeavours to feriae this assertion, by saying, " Why
should the Doke be mixed op with the temporary differ.
encase which have arisen between the Staff Major and the
Regency' lint shall we not be entitled to ask of the
Drapcsa Blanc, why it separates In this manner the Prince
Generalissimo from his Staff Major, which is in effect to

against the orders of the Prince; a declaration which

dience.

for Port St. Mary's on the evening of the 17th. We hear
that the troops which besieged Panspelana are piing t.-be
employed in the siege of Lerida.

Orr, We are even more indebted to the cool weather than
the strict precautions that have been taken for our security
against this terrible scourge, which was so near to pene-
trating into France, for it was mere chance that the infected
ship did not come into our port to repair. The acconnts
from Pampelana do not agree respecting the damage that
has been done to the town; it apvirs, however, that it is
not very great; the heaviest of the fire was directed against
the citadel, which is almost destroyed. The officers, pri-
soners of war, who were expected here to-day, have not yet
arrived. Our National Guard commenced doing duty yes-
terday; it has fire posts to occupy.

THURSDAY EVENINO. OCTOBER 2, 1823.

STOCK SWUM:I; TWELVE o'Cioca.—Consols owed this
morning at 833 for the account, at which price they remain,
with little or no business doing.
Owing to the non-arrival of Expresses from Paris, which
is attributed to the heavy gales of yesterday, we are without
any fresh information from that capital ; nor are there any
reports on 'Change.
FOREIGN MARKET.—The chief lowliness transacting this
morning in the above market, is in Colombian and Spaniel%
bonds. In all other foreign securities there is scarcely a
bargain done.
Colombian opened at 521, 53. and 531—01 d Spaniels
Bonds, 3211, 32$—French Scrip, 21—Russian, 831.

Jamaica Papers arrived this morning to the 13th August,
but contains leer little intelligence of public interest.
The following are extracts:—
(raosr TR'S COURANT, 49th Jutv.)
Letters received from Carthagena by the Schooner
Ann, mention that the Columbian forces, were is possession
of Mersraiho. '
PANAMA, July 6.—(Rstract of a letter.) —" Since yester-
day the merchants of this place have ma, in dosequence
of bearing that several strong armed ►essels (Pirates),
were about the 'Coast; and fearing they would attack the
Renegade with superior force, it has been agreed that
they Will not shit► until the next opportunity.

Our foreign arrivals have brought nothing of moment ;
and our anxiety, not for the fate of Cadiz, but as to the
mode in whicb it will be defended, remains unabated. We
know that if any thing worthy of the name of a defence
should be made, the town cannot be taken; and we pay
no attention to the statements of the French that there
exist discontent and party squabbles in tip. garrison. To
some degree such matters -hill always be found ; but the
general feeling is proved beyond a doubt by the French
themselves; who state that on the capture of Port St. Pe-
tri, the inhabitant, instead of welcoming the hinders
as deliverers, •• took refuge in the town of Cadiz." This
single fact proves all the previous statements of the
joy of the inhabitants at the approach of the French, to
have been gross exaggerations. ttoyatist. faetiea, so
doubt, did welcome them, in the hope of profiting by their
assistance ; but even this welcome lass cooled, since the
Duke d'Angouleme has felt that the old despotism
'cannot be restored in Spain, without a mask to disguise its
monstrous visage. The garrison of St. Petri behaved
bravely sad only abandoned the fort, when it wee Incapable
of further defence. The loss of the French was 1, oxe
“ gilled in the land batteries. and three on board the ships."
To add two cyphers to each would probably be to get
the truth; as the Fleet fired 3000 balls ; and if near
enough to do mischief, they mast have been near enoagla to
receive it.

Authentic copies of the letter written by the Duke d'An
I,uleme to the King of Spain, and of the answer of the
King have been received. The substance was before
known ; but the documents possess some interest, as richt
biting the base pretensions of the French in the invasion
of a nation,to serve a King who disclaims their interference.
It will be said Ferdinand does not write his own sentiment!,
but the.sentiments of those by whom he is surrounded-
Every King is in the same predicament. It is only who
shall dictate for Lim; as he must be under the dictation
of some one. The . Republican party now perform
duty. The royalist faction want to usurp it. Ferdinand would
be but a poppet in any hands, like the punch of our street ex-
hibitions. Ii is astonishing how much people are mistaken in
their ideas of the power of Kings. Lord Liverpool is a
much more powerful man than George the Fourth. Mr. Pitt
was the master of George the Third. Nor can monarchy get
out of the trammels of Its nominel servants. Like a maniac,
it may change its keepers occasionally, but it must obey the
successor as implicitly as the predecessor.

The Morning Chronicle has an odd sort •of article this
morning, in which it boasts of having the great discri-
mination of seeing very clearly the merits of rome portion
of the conduct of Lord Liverpool, Mr. Canning, Mr.
Huskisson, and various other cabinet ministers. Whether
it bas recently undergone the operation of coaching by
any court °collet we know not; but we really do not think
its sight is very escellent upon these points. We like
liberality as much at the Chronicle does ; and when we
see men turning " from the evil of their ways," they shall
base all encouragement from us to walk steadily in the paths
of penitence. We would even subscribe to purchase a little
deg for Dr. Slop, (who has been so long groping in the dark,
1114 a recovery of his sight is not to be expected) if he
should evince any desire to keep out Of the filthy ways in
which he has been wallowing so long. But it is not the
mere utterance of a liberal sentiment that will content no.
We bare stem too much of the Joseph Surface school, to
believe every one a man of sentiment, who has a striae if

latigoagent the Liverpool dinner, and et the Liverpool din-
nee;and etStationers' Hall on Tuesday, instead of• the dr-
ennestancet which induced him to feign a liberality that he
would divots, with as readily as be pets it on. In this same
'easy, the Chronicle nys Mr. Canning's " whole conduct
with respect to Ireland, is jesuitical and disgraceful."—
Now we weeld ask, in all simplicity of heart, how a man,
whose whsle conduct ins case which involves the happiness
of six millions of pr-.ple, is lesuitcal and disgraceful," can
be trusted in any other case, because he happens to borrow
a cloak of plausibility to wear for the moment ? " Once
a jesuit, alnays a jesnit," is as true as " once a priest, al.
ways a priest,"—and we would not recommend the Chro-
nicle to pin Its faith so easily to a rotten sleeve, what-
ever gloss the manufacturer may put upon i t We do not carp at
"every thing that is said or done ;" but we have not credu-
lity enough to believe every thing we hear, even from the
lips of a Minister of State; and we have so much caution
about as, that we would not have a serpent sting us
twice. We hate felt that Mr. Canning's hatred to liberal
opinions is substantial; while his friendship for them is
nothing but "words, words, words !" However, we will
concede to the Chronicle; with all our distrust of Mr.
Canning, that there are mach worse men, both in and out
of office.

Private acconnts front Corunna state that a conspiracy
of Priests and Monks against Moattd.o had been detected,
and several of the ladles Imprisoned. Thin conspiracy ap-
pears to have arisen from the circumstance of Moniu,o
having restored to the rightful possessors some alienated
ehurch• property, of whirl' the Monks, upon the entry of
the French, had forcibly obtained possession.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated St. Pe-
tersburg, Sept. 5i—
...a terrible toullagration has nearly wholly destroyed the town of Samba :

It appears from the following letter, dated Constantino-
ple, August 18th, and received yesterday, that the Turkish
Goverment, instead of encouraging throws everyohstacle
in the way of trade, and that were it not for the influence'
with which its sense of danger arms oar Ambassador, an
laduenee which is confirmed by his own energy and deci-
sion, British merchants would not only be exposed to con
stant vexatious, but also to great losses:—
" Persons eagaged in commercial pursuits in this c tpital

very coneiderable impediments in the way of their business
Another of these instances, and that too of a nature to ex.
eiteis an Englishman an atter disgust of the country, oc-
curred the other day. On the 7th of the present month
the warehonee of a rich English merchant, named J.
Barbond, was closed by order of the Authorities, and his
money and plate carried to the Mint. The Gnomes Au-
thorities, in consequence of the repeated demands and
threats of Lord Strangford. the British Ambassador, con-
sented, after considerable demur, to replace the loss; bat
Mr. Barbond steadily rejected the proposed arrangement,
unless the Porte would also make him public satisfaction,
which the Ministers obstinately refuse to do. In coos.
quence of' this, the affair remains in :Mu goo; bnt.we un-
derstand it is not likely to rest here, for Mr. Barbond
tends, unless patine apology and restitution be made him,
to appeal to toe British Parliament. This occurrence will
serve to show how precarions all mercantile wealth and'
peoperty,ls under so despotic a Government as that of
ITurkey.

A letter front Rome of a recent date details some feet,
respecting the ceremony going on in the Papal palace for
the election of a Pope. The greatest number of votes hi-
therto united in favour of individual Cardinals, have fallen
upon Cavalchini, Toriorsi. and Herter:ell Up to the
12th ult.,these candidates still maintained their superiority.
The first of them bad several times from 12 to 14 votes.—
This Cardinal was at one time Governor of Rome, and is
said to have displayed in his office great justice, modera
don, and firmness. The lower anti middle classes in that
capital cherish the recollection of his former sway, sad re-
gard him as their future master. With the nobility, who,,
however admit his merit, he is not so popular. 'They fix;
rather upon Cardinals Soosmaglia anti Zed., and pretend)
that the election of either would he more agreeable to
France. As thelatter is extremely old, he is likely on that
amount, to be best supported by the Sacred College. It is
well known that the Conclave is, as its name indicates, a
elose assembly ; but so long as there are doors, wisdoms,
or even less obvious apertures, in the Papal palace, the
foreign A mbaasadors and the public must gain some know-
ledge of its secret proceedings.
Extract of a Letter from Santa-Martha, Aag. 6 :—" Tire
power of the Spanish Royalists in this country is at last
drawing to a close. We have received intelligence of
Morales, after some excessive hard fighting on the Lake
of Maracaybo, with Pastille the Colombian Commander,
having offered to capitulate. The terms proposed were
agreed to by General Monriqne, Inteadaut of the depart-
usent of Zulia.ind from the desperate situation that Morales
is in we look daily for accounts of his unconditional sur-
render. In thi4 last expiring attempt of Morales, be em-
ployed the crew of his frigate and sloop of war, which were
outside the bar of Maracaybo; and it is said that he has
lost a thousand men. Padilla took eleven of his vessels;
two more blew up. in short. it is all over with him."
We have received a Santa Martha Gazette of tut Sth of
August, which contains the following artitle of WO'
gence:

" MARACAIBO.
"The Governor of this garriion has received adviees from
the head-quarters of Rio de la Hache, under date of the 3d
instant, which contains propositions for granting en honour-.

Lieut.-Colonel D. L. 1. Quintana, as Commissh►aers for Oen.,
D. F. T. Morales, to Gen. Manuel Maerriqat, and the aaswer
given to the same by the latter."
Ma-proposed terms of capitulation follow. Many of them
were negatived ou the part of the Colombian General, and it
was the general opinion at Rant* Martha, founded upon ad-
vices from Rio de la Hache, thatOsneral Morales would, with-
in a day or two of the date of the above-aseationad proposals

SPAIN.

..By way of Gibraltar we have accounts from Cada. which
throw considerable light on the dispute between the D.ike
d'Angouleme and the Constitutional Government of Spain.—
Among the papers received is a copy of an autograph letter
written by the Prince Generalissimo to his " brotber & Cousin,'
King Ferdinand of Spain, to which- the Paris papers, at .the
time, alluded in a most triumphant manner, as well as to tae
reception givando the bearer within tbe.walls ,of Cadiz. The
iletter was carried by a French Colonel of Infantry, in one of
the boats belonging to the blockading Squadfoa, litarieg a tar
of truce. He landed on the 18th at the gate of SeviliC, aftint+
he was conducted to the house of Gen. Valdes In a cotth tqf
which conveyance be soon afterwards returned. From the,
moment he landed till be was Set of hearing, he was silufeir
from the wharf.; with shoats of" Viva la Constituelov," flare Lr
immense concourse assembled on the occasion. A person de- .
scribing his reception, writes, " that It is a pity the laws
war could not have beet, dispensed with, and the handkercldaY
taken from his eyes, in order that he might have seen The
smiling and jot,fut countenances by which he was surrounded,
as well as the abundance of provisions on all sides. He would
then have been able to retain with a correct report of the slate
of the city, and of the sentiments of the inhabitants." This
letter was delivered to King Ferdinand, and tait, en the fol-
lowing day, her/darned ea answer iu his own hand-writing.
In the letter of the Duke his Royal Highness inforins his
Majesty that " the King his uncle had thought that his
Majesty restored to liberty, and using clemency, would
think it adviseable to grant an amnesty necessary after so
many troubles, and to give to his people, by the ermases-
tion of the ancient Cortes of the hirgdons, guarantees fee
the re-estahlishment of order, justice, and good admilds.
tretion. lie then proceeds to state that "if in five days he
shall not have received any satisfsctory answer, and it 4
that period his Majesty should still be deprived of his liberty,
he shall recur to force in order to restore It to him."
to answer the King replies, that "it is in troll verse
remarkable, that till now the intentions of the King of
France, bad not been manifested to hint, when it wa., six
months since his troops invaded his kingdom, and were
causing, in support thereof, so many calamities to his
subjects." Respecting the guaraatee pvint•id oat fur
the •preservaien of order and jibtice, the King
proceeds to remark, that "it is as incompatible with
the dignity of his Crown, as it is with the actual
state and political situation of things. To raise
op again, after three centuries of oblivion, an institution,
as varied, changeablq, and as monstrous as the &anent
Cortes were, in which the nation never was assembled, sad
soarer pu d a true Representation, wool*, on the other
hand, be the same or worse than to renew the States Rua-
ral of France; it would, besides, be insufficient to secure
tranquillity and public order, without affording advantage
to any one of the classes of the State, would produce the
dithculties and inconveniences which, in former times,
were experienced, and which always beet known wows
this subject has been treated of.' Hid Majesty adds.
," it is nit the King who is the proper channel fa
the suggestions which your Royal Highness has thought
it your duty to make, neither is it possible or jest that
should be called upon to present evils which he neither
causes nor merits ; this appeal might neither to be made
lo the volunteer author of them." On the subject of peace.
the King subjoiste, " 1 have coMmunicatione.peading whit
