verdo ; but his advanced guard having arrived at Riche,
the enemy retired precipitately upon•Lebrilli, and at the
same moment, the regiment of Lotca infantry, with its
officers and colours, passed over, to our side to the crleg
of • Long live Ferdinand ! This example was followed
by the reginteat of the Queen (cavalry) and these two,
corps, at their own request, marched the next day with'
our troops, partaking of their lively desire to encounter
the enemy. Count Molitor arrived on the 7th at Mur-
cia, where he was received with the greatest enthusiasm;
• it had been the ante in the tine and rich country he had
passed. The same day his troops took the route of Car-
thagena, in the direction or Lome, when the enemy re-
tired, having lost more than 2090 men by defection. The
24 corps coatinnes its movements is Grenada.
General Foissac-Latoor, who left Medrid with some
troops composed of cavalry and infantry, is now at Caro-
tin, marching towards Andojar and Jaen, to Cover the
entrances (debauches) of the Sierra Morena, and to serve
as a reserve to the force in Andalusia.
Count Bordesoult, having formed the blockade of
Cadis by guarding the coast from Rota to Conil, octet;
pin himself incessantly with organising a flotilla. both
lo Seville and the ports. in order to complete the blockade i
by sea. He is ably seconded by the Count de Bourmont,
who for that purpose is established at Seville, as well as
by Rear-Admiral Hamelin; commanding the fleet, and
already many light vessels cruise before the place. Fifty
boats intending to introduce grain, have been taken or
dispersed, and our marine has captured a colonel and a
dozen officers of artillery, who were proceeding from
Cadiz to Ceota, for the defence of that place ; it has also
delivered 150 Royalist prisoaere, who were sent there to
the works.
" The inhabitants of the mountains of Ronda having
announced to General Bordesoolt that this town was oc-
cupied by a battalion of revolutionary infantry onderthe
co,oreAnd of Colonel Bernard Ansel°. who appeared
well disposed. a flag of trace was sent to him, and imme-
diately the officers and soldiers declared for the service of
the King.
" The inhabitants of Andalusia continue to give
proofs of the excellent spirit which animates them; they
frequently arrest the emissaries of the Lanny, who bare
not been able to organize any corps. The greatest din.
order appears to reign at Cadiz.
" Count Houck has entered Galicia ; he was on the
7th at Villafraeca, and will arrive on the 10th at Luce
with all his troops. Every thing leads to the belief thit•
General Morillo is entirely separated from Quiroga, sad
is now united with General Houck. General Loop km-
re-established order and quiet io the Asturias.
"The trooptcharged with the blockades continue to
show theirs constancy and devotion. The garrison of
Pamplona bevieg endeavoured to make two sorties on
the sth, they were vigorously repulsed be, the 2d light
regiment and by the troops of the Count d'Espagne, who
hare produced a considerable loss to the enemy to killed
and wounded.
" Two bripies of the 2d corps of reserve have already
entered Spain a the one Is for Catalonia, the other to be
employed ie the Meebade of et. Sebastian. Marshal Lan-
rlvtoe has establiebed his hesd-quarters et Kemal.
" A Spada vessel of war which sailed lately from Co-

entered Bilbao; laving been captured by the same prison-

The foll Owing is a copy of the letter of the Duke de la I
Rochefouesuit which has provoked the rigorous decision
(but just and worthy of
_a firm and Royal Government)
which has been adopted towards him :
• LIANCOMIT, JULY 4.
Sir,—l have received the letter which you have done
me the honour to address me, and enclosing the ordi-
nance of his Majesty relative to the special council of
the prisons of Pans. I havalong expected the suppression
of this council, whose activity anftrigilanee may possibly
thwart the secret views and arbitrary acts of the Govern-
ment, and which its creation imposed upon it the duty
of opposing by all the Means in its power.
" Impressed with the evident inutility of the phantom
of the proposed new council, I have determined to solicit
your acceptance of my resignation, and that 1 may not
henceforth be ranked amongst its members.
" Receive, Sir, the assurance of my high consideration,
(Signed) "The Doke de La Rocnetroocstn.v.'

Frankfort, July ii, a loag extract front the Protocol of
the Sitting of the German Diet of July 9, which contains
an account of the report made by the Minister of War-
temberg, of the execution of the Degree fulminated
igainst the German Observer. It will appear from the
foltowing concluding passage of the answer of the Presi-
dent of the Diet (Minister from Austria), that itis not to

Diet are to be limited
The Emperdr and King, my mister, has done jnstice

thought fit for the present to dispense with the execution

such a sum, andfasken if we are prepared to spend as
Winch more in another. This argument bas ►ad its

weight here; but it will have more In another quarter.—
A country' that is proclaimed to the world u unable to go
to war, for a jest object, will not long be suffered to
remain at peace, if there is any thing to tempt the cupidity
of its neighbours; and whatever claims Great Britain may
, bare upon the" gratitude" of the world, it is a word u little
understood among nations, as it Is unheeded usoog Indlvi-

duals. In the best view of this ewe, England, instead of
being et the bead of the leading nation, in virtue of her
own strength and importance, is only in tie list, by the to-

levatloa of her neighbours. This is a proud result, indeed,
for the waste of so much money, and the shedding of so
mach blood—and this is the brief abstract of our Foreign
relations. Our domestic affairs are not in a whit better con
dition. Ireland, it is confessed, is In as bad a' state as it
can be, while it forms a nominal part of the empire. In-
Wad of encreasing oar strength, it detracts from it. In.-
aced of being a gain, It is a great loss. Except fatteninga
few Priests, and fledging a few Statesmen, Ireland is worse
than i barren desert to us. The most frightful alien, the
most revolting atrocities, are daily occurring. The law is
only knows through the exhibition of its terrors. Frenzy
on the one band, and avarice ton the other, usurp the do-
minion. All the bad passions are up In eras ; and sway
good feeling is nearly extinct. The bands of the Holy Al-
liance are called, by the ultra press of England, deliverers
in Spain. What would they not be deemed in Ireland! A
great portion of the time of the Legislature has been throne
away in the affected discussion of Irish affairs, which barn

roared to rule, there. The other measures adopted are
of too triMag a eat are to bare any good effect; bat they
say have the bad one of raising expectation* which will
not be satisfied; and of changing a deferred bepe, lute
a confirmed despair. The Ministers say there has been
great attention paiil to Irish Affairs this Session. Yes,l
to what are called Irish Affairs, there has been paid what
is called attention. A troop of Orangtonea have bees
brought over to beard the English Parliament. Aces-
sedans have been preferred against judicial errors, and
political Judges; and speeches after speeches have been
made io defence of both. But this is attending to Irish
affairs, no better than it would be in attending to the
case of.a patient, if the physicians, called in, were to cils-1
putt about the colour of his hair. To what would pro-
perly called Irish affairs, the condition of the multitude,
no
other attention has been paid, than to enact that the
night air is so very tnirrholesome to Irish constitutions,
that Botany Bay is the only place which holds out a
chance of recovery. Scotland has come in for her share,
also, of the " attention" of the Legislature. Her abuses
have keen talked about, and defended with the usual zeal
of office. Some unmeaning Acts of Parliament bare
been added to the ponderous volum-s of the Statutes—
and there the matter ends. Lord Binning vouches for
the satisfaction of Scotland, as she is, and what more is
necessary? Did all Scotland stand up to contradict Lord
Binning,tbe kind, confiding majority could not do other-
wise than take his Lordship's word.) a E ogland itself,which
basso long been " the envy and admiration of the world,"
of course there can be bat little to amend, or alter; and
a few trilling alterations, just to keep the Legislators in
practice as to forms, are all that are ever at-
tempted. Every thing must be touched gently; even
taxation, whether requisite, or not, most not be touched
too roughly, because it is a part of the English Constitn-
tion--sod that Constitution, is to beautiful, and, of
course, as delicate as all beauty is ! Our Financiers,
therefore, have taken care that we should not lose too
much of " the blessings" of taxation at once :—and the
great art has been to appear to reduce it, without reds°.
iog it at all. Thus, in lSi3, the IVays and Means were;
about 80 millions; and wheat being about five pounds
the quarter, the taxes, &.c. then would have purchased
about sixteen millions of quarters of wheat. The taxes
are now reduced, as the Treasury phrase is, to tboutfilty
itaillions; and wheat is now about three pounds pet
piaster; and they will purchase about sixteen millions
fried a half of quarters of wheat; so that taxation is re.
sired by the increase of half-a-million of quarters of
ikon, after eight years of profound peace with all thi
world. It is no great wonder, that people should labour
bard, and receive no remuneration. But there are se.
setts in the art and mystery of Finance, that John Bull,
good-natured soul! never dreams of. There are not
many countries in the world, in which a State Juggler
could say to a Farmer, " Come, I am going to take Oh
" the taxes. I will reduce the taxes one third, and per
shall reduce the price of your commodities one half;
" so that you shall only pay me 'a bushel and a half,
" where you pay me a bushel sow." This was said to
the English farmer; and he was very grateful for the
tattooer t-and you will hear, now, talk of the redaction of
thetaxatioa,) though it costs him more labour, and more
capital than it ever did,) because be pays less in amount.
