NEWS FROM SPAIN AND THE FRONTIERS; •

JuLY S.—Owing to the little interest file roilitaei, ope.
rations had of late on our frontiers, I did not write, and
particularly since the divisions of Saint Priest and Baron
Eroles quitted Sco for Cardona. The blockade of the forts
of Urgal has not been effected, but it is 'menaced that a
reinforcement of 3to 400 Frenchmen is to join the block.

According to the Ministerial Journalists, who now do sot
seem to be so positive of the surrender of Cadiz, it appears
that two revolutionary parties, have declared themselves,
and a great difference of opinion prevails. The most
moderate party wishes for the safety of the King. At the
head of this are Romero, Alpinist., and Osseo, ez-minister
of the interior. The other, called the Frenetic party, from
wishing to sncrifiee 19 time Or danger the Royal family.
Isicondoeted by Gallium) and Argo*lles. The whole of the
mi:ltary power is invested in the person of General Valdes,
military and political chief of Cadiz, and commander of the
naval force. Alava, Riego, and Ballasteros, are the Lieu-
tenants.

Oar Ministerial jonrnals have not for several days ast•
noanced any thing farther of the blockade of Soo Urge!,
which they led us to believe would soon surrender. It now
appears the reverse, as this operation is for the lwasent
abandoned.

Frankfort papers of the 12th instant have reached us
tilts morning, and brought accounts from Constantinople
of the 10th ult. By teas we learn that the strictest
measures had been taken for the preservation of order
during the holidays of the festival of she Bairam, which
had commenced the day before; and no apprehension was
entertained for the tranquillity of the capital. This is
the time when the changes in the offices of the state are
made known. The most important that bad transpired
was the dismissal of the Kiaja Bey (Minister of the In--1
tenor), Seid Achmet Effendi, who bad filled his office
respectably for a year and a half. The real cause of his
removal, accompanied as it seems with disgrace, was
Dot then known. Abdallah, Pacha of Acre, has been
restored to favour. This reconciliation is considered of
importance to the interests of the Porte. The only other,
articles of public interest, contained in these accounts,
are the folio% ng

The Captain Pacha was, at the beginning of the month,
with his fleet between Mytilene and Chlo. The Barbary
fleet, which had joined him, was to take on board the
Asiatic troops assembled at Tschisme, which are estimated
at 10,000 men. M. de Rigny, Commander of the French
squadron, and several French officers belonging to the
French ste,tion at Smyrna, had-an opportunity accurately to
observe the Turkish fleet, which they describe as follows:
The Captain Pacha had odder his command 16 frigates,
16 stout corvettes, about 20 brigs, sloops, and other ligbt
vessels. There was on board the ships a degree of order,
cleanliness, and discipline, which was formerly very un-
common. A considerable part of the crews consisted of ex-
perienced sailors.

The unfortunate city of Aleppo continues to be Manned
by earthquakes. There was especially a shock on the lilt
May, which threw the Inhabitants into consternation. Th
British Factory here received a few drys ►ince from London
a Government order, enjoining strict observance of all
regular blockades whether by the Turks or the Greeks.

New Orleans papers to the 12th alt. have come to hand
to-day. The only article of political importance they
contain, is the following :

'MADRID, MAY B.—Upoo the subject of the convoca-
tion of a new Congress, for the purpose of forming a
constitution for the Mexican nation, there appears to be
two parties in Mexico; the one contending that the pre.
sent Congress has not the necessary power, and that act-
ing without them the nation would be without confidence
in their decision; the other maintaining a,contrary opi-
nion, are desirous of forming a constitution, leaving it to
the Provisional Assemblies to sanction or reject it as they
may think proper.

The alarmists are looking forward to the arrival of
the news of the fall of Cadiz. They tell ns that even
some members of the Cones begin to despair; and, al-
though they refused all terms, and compromise with the
invader, when the difficulties before him might have
iuduced him to be moderate in his demands, that the
Cortes are now willing to treat with him, when they
have nothing to look forward to but uneonditiontOub-
mission, as the result of any negoeiation. That, there
may be some men among the Cones who -mnertaisa-

Coital komlliadrid, they. have not *sifted as a Govern-
ment. they have bad no means of communicating Kith
thiseiiireeeet prorieees; and every chief of •the
tutional farces has been acting independently, as be
thought best, in the critical sitnation in which affairs
were placed: The capture of Cadiz would be a great
moral loss, as extinguishing the semblance of a free Go-
vernment ;" but physically it would be nothing to the
French force; and moth to the cares of the invader. A
large force would be necessary to keep possession of it;
and this force would be taken out of the field of active
operations. Not a sword would be taken out of the
hands of any Guerilla party, by the conquest of Cadia ;
and, it is to the terrors of a Guerilla warfare that Spain
must look for the riddance of the oppressors. Did
the French occupy every town in Spain, which it
is impossible they should, they could not suppress the
Guerilla system ; and, now, while they occupy only a
hundredth part of the country, they have not the means
of checking it in any degree. That we hear but littler
of the Guerilla movements,is no proof that the Guerillas
are idle. The French themselves admit that the cam-
paign has already cost them 10,000 men. This cannot
be accounted for by the statements which they furnish of
their loss in battle :—such as the bulletin, for In-
stance, which ar.nounces that in an action with 6,000
men, ,who made a sortie-from the garrison of Santonai
which " became obstinate," the French "had only tub
men killed, and elgAt wounded." Nay, the soldiers of
Prince Hilt, and the Arley of the Faitb, have fought
Some desperate battles, and sustained no loss, not even ;so
midi as " the-little finger of • a drummer;" if we may
'credit the bulletins. It would take many of such battles
to account for the loss of 10,000 men :--and if the loss
has been stsstained, as they admit themselves, there must
be more in the nature of Spanish resistance than we are
aware of in this country. It is confessed that the rebel
Regency-et Madrid, can raise no money. The Army of
the Faith Is described as being in a worse plight than
Falstaff's ragged company ; fur they are represented as
being absolutely naked; and the compassion of the loy-
alists is implored for them moat pathetically. It is, how-
ever, a peculiar characteristic among the loyal parts of
every community, to have a strong dislike to contribute
any thing themselves to their cause. They prefer voting
away the money of other folks: —and in this sense they
are very liberal, Indeed :—but when they are required to
bring out the last guinea, they shrug op their shoulders,
and make the most disloyal shrugs of the shoulder, and
the most disaffected distortions of countenance. The
French do not find the services of the dopes of the Faith
worth paying for ; and it is more than probable that
they will ultimately turn round upon the invaders, and
plunder them for a subsistence. The coarse of events
hitherto has been such's, might have been anticipated ;
they will now begin to baffle ordinary calculation :—but
one thing is certain, that the Spanish Constitution can
not be destroyed, without Spain is permanently held In
the military occupation of the Holy Allies. On this two
questions present themselves. Can the Holy Allies main-
tain the inevitable cost in men and,money, which this
occupation would require ? And, secondly, would Eng-
land patina them to hold such occupation ? Both may
be safely answered in the negative.

all, in its ,premat shape; arid ft falls alto:ether to the
goad. this is NA fate it deserved. It is far better
lost, thou found in any shape. To " let well alone," is
the first duty of a Minister in an unnatural system like
ours. It is but in few instances that there is any good;
and to destroy them, that all may be bad alike, is strange
pokey. Mr:- libertiontsr lobed' Mr. Huskisson in
lamenting the fate of this Bill. With a strange perti-
wiry in-refuted error he-talked ota " free trade," which
is a mere chimera ; and of " making" trade extensive;
which can be no more done by legislative measures, than
men can be made to breathe in water or fish to live io air.
Mr. Bright pointed out the benefit of a " free trade," as
it existed at Coventry, where the consequence was. a
degree of distress which the people of the Metropolis
would never bear without a convulsion. A Mr.
Gordon lamented that the Bill should be lost; and hoped
that Mr. Hushisson would not abandon the
liberal principles he had begun to apply. We hope he
will not; but we also hope that he will remember to apply
his liberal principles in the first instance to those who want
'them most. Let him first set the labourer free from the i.-
liberal restrictions. Let him repeal the laws which make it
penal for a mau to set a value upon his own labour. Let
him take off all the indirect taxation which reduces the
nomleal remuneration of labour to one half of its amount.
Let him set the !sheerer free ; and then he may, with be:ter
reason, tell him to make what he can of his freedom. Air.
can-Ding was for leaving the matter to the House of Lords.
We do not object to this. That House did hear the eom.
plaints of the w ; which the Commons' House refused to
do, under the notion that It was too wise to need tnstruc-
tied; and that it brew better what was good fer the weavers
than they did themselves; assuming the trightone of Lord Peter
in the Tale of a Tub; distributing• brown 'item.% for yoonz
mitten, and saying—" 0— confound you all eternally, if
" you offer to believe otherwise!" We are much. indebted
to the House of Lords for this seasonable check to the pre-
sumption of hlr. Huskissou, and his supporters ; end are
much more content to lease the matter with the "Noble
Lords " than with the " Iloaeurable Commons."
The Parliament, as our readers will learn from another
of our columns, has been to-day prorogued. We shall
lon Monday take a glance at the business of the Session ;
which had been sitting so long, and which Was closed
just at the moment when there was a probability of sonie
important business, demanding the attention of the re-
presentatives of the people. Before the Parliament
again assembles, in the natural course of things, the
Holy Alliance will have received a mortal blow ; or des-
potism will leave proceeded with rapid stride. towards
the Court of England. That such an Administration as
now exists, should have the destiny of England in their
bands, in an ordinary state of affairs, would he enough
to be lamented ; but that, at such a crisis, n Iwo talent,
meal, and the most incorruptible devotion to the liberties
of mankind, are requisite, we should tremble for the
consequences of their being the representatives of the
nation, did we not feel confident that there is in the
country sufficient energy to repair the disasters, and to
repel the danger, which their incapacity in sy produce.or
their hostility to the progress of liberal opinioos, might
otherwise entail spout us.

Wstrisson, JOLT ISa—lt is said that his Majesty is
expected to retort' in a day or two to his residence in the
'Great Park, but it is nut known bow long he is to stay.
Since his Majesty's departure, several men have been
employed in making some alterations in the grounds
belonging to the Royal bodge; an additional piece of
ground has been enclosed from the Park, and the isp•
reach to the Lodge considerably improved.
In the course of the ensiling 'month the alterations
making in Windsor Cagle will be completed, and the
